What's Scarier than Vampires?

There was no way that I saw a dark figure pass my window. He would have killed me by now. Maybe I'm just imagining things.

Before I knew it, the TV flipped on to a black and white screen. The lights began to flicker on and off. I snuggled deeper into my blanket out of fear. Suddenly, the lights turned off. I ran in the dark headed for the door. Being clumsy Bella, I ran into the wall. The light flipped on and I heard a booming laughter. I looked up to see Emmett smiling down at me.

"Ha! You should have seen your face!" he laughed.

"Emmett. That. Was. So. Not. Funny," I said between clenched teeth. I punched him in the stomach which only resulted in a pain in my fist. "Oww…"

Why does he have to feel like a brick wall? I cupped my fist.

"Aw come on Bells. I was just having a little fun," he said.

"Yeah, a little too much fun," I muttered.

He smiled at me. I smiled back, until something finally sank in.

"Hey, Emmett?"

"Yeah?"

"Vampires can't go to the bathroom."

He shook his head. "You're slow, you know that?"

"Thanks," I said sarcastically.

He picked me up and carried me to the bed. He put the covers over me and stroked my hair. "You need to get some sleep," he said. He was about to leave the room.

"Wait," he stopped at the door and turned to me. "I still have a few questions."

"Ok, shoot," he said. He sat on the bed next to me.

"How'd you do it?"

He shook his head in confusion. "Do what?"

"Pull of the prank," I said. Comprehension flickered across his face.

He sighed. "When I said I was going to the bathroom, I went out to a phone booth. I called the house phone and Carlisle answered it. Then I imitated Charlie's voice and said that I wanted to talk to you. Then you answered the phone and I impersonated that girl on the Ring. I think her name was Samara or something.

"So I said 'seven days' and then Edward answered the phone. Then I hung up and watched the rest through the window."

"That wasn't funny. I nearly fainted," I said.

"Anything else?"

"Well, how'd you do the prank just now?"

"Oh, well I grabbed the remote before Alice put you in here. When she left, I climbed the window to your room and made a scary shadow, and then I turned the TV on with the remote. Since I'm so fast, I ran around the room, turning the light on and off. Then I kept it off and saw you run for the door, so I blocked it and well, you ran into me. I forgot that we're very hard when you run into us," he chuckled.

"Wow, you're really smart," I said.

"So is that it?" Emmett asked.

"Not really. What do you guys do when you camp?"

"Just hunt, but since we're bringing a human, I guess we can take a regular camping trip," he smiled.

"What do we do on a regular camping trip?"

"Umm…I guess tell scary stories and play more pranks," he smiled on the last part.

"MORE pranks!?!?!" I practically yelled.

"And we can make s'mores…for you since we can't eat human food," he changed the subject quickly.

I shook my head. "Is it like you can't eat human food because you can't digest it or is it you can eat human food, but you just don't want to?"

"For one, we can't digest it. Two, it taste disgusting," he shuddered.

I wonder what kind of food he tried. We stayed quiet for a few minutes.

"Well, I think you need to get some rest now," Emmett said. He hugged me and said goodnight.

"Goodnight, Emmett."

He closed the door behind him. I drifted into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, I saw topaz eyes staring back at me.

"Bella! Bella! Bella! Bella! Bella! Bella!" Alice said repeatedly. She was really jumpy today.

"What?" I groaned.

"We're going camping!" Alice and Emmett said together.

"Good morning, Bella," Edward said. He kissed my cheek.

I rolled over to face him. "Can I have a human minute?"

"Sure," he gestured for me to go ahead. Emmett and Alice exchanged confused looks.

I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. The toothpaste tastes so good and minty. I love the taste of toothpaste. After I finished that, I put my hair in a ponytail and went back to Alice's room to change.

Emmett and Edward left. Now it was just me and Alice. This cannot be good. She's probably going to make me her Guinea Pig Barbie again. But why? It's just camping for heavens sake!
"Darn right, I'm going to!" Alice said.

"What? You can read thoughts too?" I groaned. It's bad enough that Emmett, Jasper, and Edward eavesdrop on my sleep-talking every time I sleep over. I pouted.

"No, I just read your face. You make that face every time we're alone together…or when I mention shopping," she smiled on the last part.

I smiled sheepishly at her. Just as I predicted, she slammed me down on her chair. Alice practically dived into her closet and came out with a tight white tank and short brown pants. She threw them at me and pushed me in the bathroom. I changed into the clothes.

"There! Now you look like a camping girl!" she said as she threw her arms around me.

I grabbed my duffle bag full of my favorite strawberry shampoo, my diary, a few Jane Austen books, and that one scary book that I got from Carlisle. I really don't know why I thought it was such a good idea to bring that book on the trip.

Everyone gathered around the campfire. We tried not to get so close to the fire so they won't burn. It was probably 10:00 at night right now.

It was really nice in the woods. We had went to Colorado and rented a nice Colorado styled cabin. We decided to go outside at night and make s'mores. We hadn't decided to tell scary stories until Emmett brought it up.

Emmett was digging in my bag, being his nosy self. He pulled out the scary book. "Do you want to listen to scary stories?" he winked at me.

"Umm…sure, I guess," I said. There's no reason to be afraid when I'm sleeping with seven vampires. Vampires…who are protecting me. "You can read from it."

"Please, I already memorized the book," he said. "This story is called Don't Turn on the Lights. Two dorm mates in college were in the same science class. The teacher had just reminded them about the midterm the next day when one dorm mate — let's call her Juli — got asked to this big party by the hottest guy in school. The other dorm mate, Meg, had pretty much no interest in going and, being a diligent student, she took notes on what the midterm was about. After the entire period of flirting with her date, Juli was totally unprepared for her test, while Meg was completely prepared for a major study date with her books.

At the end of the day, Juli spent hours getting ready for the party while Meg started studying. Juli tried to get Meg to go, but she was insistent that she would study and pass the test. The girls were rather close and Juli didn't like leaving Meg alone to be bored while she was out having a blast. Juli finally gave up, using the excuse that she would study in homeroom the next day.

Juli went to the party and had the time of her life with her date. She headed back to the dorm around 2 a.m. and decided not to wake Meg. She walked to her bed and tripped, but ignored it and hopped in her bed. She went to bed nervous about the midterm and decided she would wake up early to ask Meg for help.

She woke up early and went to wake Meg. She noticed police were surrounding her dorm. She went to ask the police but decided to search for clues herself. She went over to Meg's bed and the sheets were soaked with blood. She turned around and gasped in horror as she read on the mirror written in blood: Aren't You Glad You Didn't Turn on the Lights?"

Emmett chuckled when he finished his story. I stared at him with wide, horrified eyes.

Edward scrutinized my face and held me closer to him. "It'll be okay. I'll sleep with you," he said seductively. I shivered at his voice.

Alice nudged Edward and raised her eyebrows. Edward growled. I guess they were having a telepathic conversation again.

She jumped up from the campfire. "Forget the book. It's not even that scary. Have you guys heard of…BLOODY MARY?"

My heart stopped. This face was scarier than her shopping face. "W-what is it?" I managed to say with what little voice I had left.

"It's where seven or more people gather around in front of a mirror and hold a candle. They say Bloody Mary's name three times and it summons her spirit out of the mirror. She either pulls the people into the mirror to never return or she cuts their face up or off," Emmett said rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, but there's another theory too," Alice said.

"What theory?" Emmett seemed like he believed there was only one.

Alice rolled her eyes. "When you call her spirit, the mirror shows her walking down stairs with either a knife in her hand or a rose. If she's holding a rose, then she's not going to kill you. If she's holding a knife, then she'll kill you…unless you turn on the lights before she gets to the bottom of the stairs. And she does move at a pretty fast pace, but not as fast as vampires," she said, lost in thought.

"Have you tried it?" I said.

"No," Alice paused. "Do you want to?"

"NO!" I shouted. There was NO way I was going to try that. I'd be risking my life if I did that.

"Don't worry. We'll protect you," Emmett said. Jasper sent calm waves towards me and also a bit of confidence.

I shot him a death glare. "Are you guys trying to get me killed?"

Edward jumped in to save me. "Guys, I don't think that's a good idea. What if Bloody Mary is real?"

"Dude, we can just block Bella. We're too hard to scratch up so Bloody ghost probably won't be able to do it," Emmett shrugged. My mouth hung open. They were actually serious about doing this.

I looked at them. Alice looked at me with pleading eyes. Emmett looked at me like I was a chicken. Jasper sent more calm waves towards me. I looked back at Edward.

"Whatever you want to do. I'll protect you," he said, kissing my cheek. I smiled at him.

"Okay, fine. Let's do it," I said as I walked towards the cabin. Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, and Edward followed after me.

We all grabbed hands and set a candle in the center of our big circle. We stood in the front of a large mirror.

"After we chant three times, we surround Bella," Carlisle said.

Emmett and Alice were too busy staring each other down to pay attention.

"Five bucks if she comes down the stairs," Alice said.

"Twenty if she tries to scratch us up," Emmett said.

They have totally lost it. We held hands and began to chant, "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary!"

The six vampires surrounded me, but Alice's eyes were looking thousands of miles away.

Only one thing could be happening to her. A vision.

Don't forget to review! Btw, I pray that you guys do not try this Bloody Mary trick. I'm not sure if it works and i'm not even going to try it. But please, Please, PLEASE don't try it because I don't want someone getting killed because I mention the trick. Oh by the way, make sure you sleep with the lights on tonight! You're gonna need it...
