Unexpected Guests

Rosalie was the first to bat, so Aunt Hope and I looked at each other in the eyes and silently agreed to mess with her a bit. She picked up the bat, ready to swing, Alice held the ball in her hands ready to pitch, then threw it at Rosalie. Just as Rosalie was going to swing…

I did a fake cough yelling, "Miss!"

Strike 1 for Rosalie. Oh she was pissed, she totally missed the ball. Esme chuckled, Rosalie turned and glared daggers at me. I shrugged my shoulders and widened my eyes, looking innocent. Rosalie turned away from me, prepared to bat again. Aunt Hope looked at me with a huge grin, silently telling me it was her turn. I nodded at her, giving her the go ahead. Alice threw the ball again, and once again as Rosalie was ready to swing…

"Strike!" Aunt Hope fake coughed.

Rosalie missed the ball again, this time everyone was laughing! Aunt Hope and I high-fived each other in victory. Rosalie was beyond pissed. She threw the bat on the ground, turned around to face us and gave us both a really icy glare.

"SHUT UP, DOGS!" she screamed at us.

Despite hating the fact she kept calling us "dogs", we were having too much fun to care. Carlisle, of course, played the peacemaker and told us to continue the game. Rosalie looked at me and Aunt Hope, mainly me, and silently told us to keep our mouths shut. So I thought I'd throw her a bone, and let her actually hit the ball.

Alice threw the ball once more, and Rosalie finally hit it…hard. I don't mean a little hard, I mean so hard that the noise from the hit echoed throughout the entire field.

"Now I understand why you guys need the thunder." I told Esme in awe.

Rosalie ran super fast to first base, going on second, going on third. Meanwhile, Edward ran into the forest to catch the ball.

"That has to be a homerun, right?" Aunt Hope asked Esme, standing next to us.

"Edward runs really fast." Esme replied.

Rosalie was sliding towards the home plate as Edward emerged from the forest, throwing the ball to Esme. Just as Rosalie made it to the plate, Esme caught the ball, and I had to call it.

"You're out." I told Rosalie, smugly.

Rosalie gave me one of her usual death glares. Seriously, does the girl ever smile? She stood up, not taking her eyes off of me, while Emmett was shouting in amusement.

"Whoo! You're out!" Even he could see that Rosalie was not very happy.

"Oh come on, babe. It's just a game!"

Carlisle was next to bat, as he passed Rosalie, he told her,

"Nice kitty."

Carlisle held out the bat up in the air before he got ready to swing. Alice threw the ball, and Carlisle hit it, the sound from the hit clashing with the thunder. He then ran to first base. Edward and Emmett were both trying to catch the ball, so they both jumped up in the air for the ball, only to crash into each other which sounded like two large boulders clashing into each other. Thank goodness for the thunder. They landed on the ground laughing, neither of them caught the ball, and Carlisle made it to second base.

Next was Jasper, who was doing this awesome twirling thing with the baseball bat. I wish I could do that! Alice threw that ball, and of course Jasper hits it and makes a run for it. Carlisle makes it to the home plate, Emmett climbs up tree in the direction the ball is flying at, he catches it and throws it to Alice. Jasper stopped at third base.

"My monkey man." I heard Rosalie say with pride as she looked at Emmett.

I rolled my eyes and teased her.

"Let's keep the dirty talk in the bedroom, ok?" I told her.

She turned and glared at me, I shrugged carelessly.

"Vivian, you're up." Esme spoke up.

I picked up a bat and walked to the home plate, ready to show them what I got. I could hear Emmett and Aunt Hope cheering me on. Rosalie roughly brushed past me, but not without turning toward me.

"Try not to stink up the field." she sneered at me, then walked away.

She wants to be a bitch, then I'll be a bitch.

"Hey, Rosalie." I said to her, making her turn back to face me.

"You look awful fat in those pants." I told her, looking up and down at her figure.

I could practically feel the steam shooting out of her ears she was so angry. Her eyes nearly bugged out of their sockets at the thought of being called "Fat". She started walking towards me, wanting to kick my ass no doubt, but Carlisle held her back while trying his hardest not to laugh. Aunt Hope had no problem laughing at Rosalie, so she did. Alice had to sober herself up from laughter so she could pitch, Emmett immediately stopped laughing as soon as Rosalie glared in his direction. Edward smirked at me from across the field, he's so dead sexy when he does that!

"Don't take it easy on me, Alice. Throw as hard as you can throw!" I told Alice confidently as I held up the bat, ready to swing.

"Ok, Vivie. You asked for it." she replied to me, smiling.

She then threw the ball at me, it almost felt like the ball was coming to me in slow motion. I held my breath in anticipation, gripped the baseball bat tight, the ball's coming closer. I wait for the right moment to come, and then I swung. I could hear the loud crack from the bat hitting the baseball as it flew high in the air, past the field. I threw the bat to the ground and ran like a bat out of Hell to the first base, then second, then third. My heart beating in my ears muffled the sound of Aunt Hope cheering me on.

As I was halfway to home plate, Emmett appeared in front of me, holding the ball. So I turned around to make it back to third base, but of course Edward is blocking third, and Emmett threw the ball to him. Dammit, I was in a pickle! I kept going back and forth, and they kept throwing the ball back and forth. Shit, if I was gonna make it through this game, I'm just going to have to play a little dirty. I turned to face Edward, he now had the ball, it was time to work.

"Hey Edward." I said to him, getting his attention.

Then, I quickly pulled up my shirt and flashed him. Yeah my bra was on, but it still worked because he was so surprised, his jaw dropped down to the floor practically and he dropped the ball to the ground. I then quickly turned and started running toward Emmett, then I leaped up in the air and flipped over his head, landing on my feet. I continued running until I made it to home plate.

As soon as I stepped on the plate, I jumped into Aunt Hope's arms with my arms around her neck and my legs around her waist. She spun me around, laughing, while everyone else were patting my back laughing their asses off. Even Rosalie was laughing which surprised the hell out of me. Emmett and Edward walked over to us, Emmett rushed over to me and picked me up into a bone-crushing hug, cracking my back in the process.

"That was frickin awesome, Vivie! I can't believe you flashed Edward! That was priceless, man." Emmett exclaimed to me while bouncing me in his arms.

"I know, right? Ooh, Emmett, can you move your arms a little lower on my back? That cracking feels so good!" I asked him as he kept holding me and cracking my back.

He chuckled as he complied. Then suddenly, I heard Alice yell over all of us.

"Stop!" she sounded urgent and nervous.

Emmett set me down on my feet, then we all turned to her, concerned.

"What is it, Alice?" Carlisle asked her as he put his hand on her shoulder.

"They were traveling through the forest. They were leaving but then they heard us playing, and now they're coming this way." she replied, frightened.

"How soon?" Carlisle asked, turning to Edward.

"Less than five minutes. They want to play. They'll catch Vivian and Hope's scent, it'll be too late to get them out of here." Edward replied with a scowl.

"Edward, what's going on? Are these the ones who feed on humans?" I asked him, already knowing they're talking about vampires.

"Yes, Vivian. I shouldn't have brought you and Hope here. I'm so sorry." he replied, looking at me with sorrow in his eyes.

"Edward, it's fine. You don't need to protect me, I can take care of myself, you know." I told him, not afraid and ready to fight if needed.

"No, Vivian!" Edward told me fiercely.

"I will not let you endanger yourself."

I tried to argue with him, "But Edw-"

He cut me off, "Please just let me protect you." he then added softly, "Please."

I sighed, knowing I wasn't going to win this. I gently nodded at him as my eyes met his, "Ok."

Aunt Hope put her arm around me as we stood together. Edward then looked at the both of us.

"Let your hair down, both of you." he told us.

We pulled our hair out of our ponytails, then Alice and Esme gave us their baseball caps to shield our faces. Rosalie, the Debbie Downer that she was, sneered in our direction.

"Like that will help. I can smell them across the field." she seethed.

I glared at her, and said the exact words I've been wanting to say since I've met her.

"Rose, will you do us all a favor and shut the fuck up?" I asked her angrily.

She was about to say something until Edward blocked her from me.

"Try not to move so much, so they won't catch your scent." he warned me.

Then, out of the mist from across the field, three people emerged. Two men, and one woman. One of the men was tall, ebony skinned with black dreadlocks; he wore jeans, no shoes, and a brown open jacket with no shirt on underneath showing off his built torso. The other man was also tall, pale white skin, gold blonde hair that appeared to be tied back in a low ponytail; he also wore jeans, no shoes, and a darker brown jacket that was buttoned up. The woman was slightly shorter than the men, she also had pale white skin, long wild red hair; she wore no shoes, black tight pants, a white fur coat, but looked more like some kind of cape, and a green shirt underneath. They were walking quickly and smoothly, as if walking on air. They were coming closer to us, Aunt Hope and I were standing at the way back so the three intruders wouldn't see us.

They continued walking until they were but five feet away from us, then they stopped. The dark skinned one, who appeared as the leader, stepped toward Carlisle, smiling.

"We thought we heard a game," he said with a slight French accent.

"I am Laurent. These are Victoria," Victoria nodded at us, "and James." James had an intense expression on his face, probably trying to look threatening.

"I'm Carlisle, and this is my family, Esme, Emmett and Rosalie, Jasper and Alice, Edward, Vivian and Hope." Carlisle greeted. "So, are you planning on staying in the area for long?" he asked politely.

"We're headed north, in fact, but we were curious to see who was in the neighborhood. We haven't run into any company in a long time." Laurent replied.

"No, this region is usually empty except for us and the occasional visitor, like yourselves. We keep a permanent residence nearby, so you're welcomed to come to our home with us so we can talk some more." Carlisle invited.

"That is very welcoming of you," Laurent smiled. "We've been on the hunt all the way from Ontario, and we haven't had the chance to clean up in a while." he replied.

"Please don't take offence, but we'd appreciate it if you'd refrain from hunting in this immediate area. We have to stay inconspicuous, you understand," Carlisle explained.

Laurent nodded in understanding, "Of course. We certainly won't intrude into your territory. We just ate outside of Seattle anyway." he laughed.

"So, do you have room for a few more players?"

"Sure, a few of us were just leaving. You can take their spots." Carlisle replied.

He tossed the ball to the three "new players", Victoria was the one to catch it.

"I'm the one with the wicked curveball." she bragged.

"Well I think we can handle that." Jasper replied, amusement in his voice.

"Oh yeah!" Emmett cheered on.

While everyone was getting into their positions, Edward Aunt Hope, and I started walking away and to Emmett's Wrangler. But of course, misfortune humps my leg, because a light breeze ruffles my damn hair! The blonde one, James, caught the scent as he leaned his head back with his eyes closed. He inhaled the air, then exhaled as he opened his eyes, smiled sadistically and looked right at me.

"You brought a snack."

A/N: Another cruel cliffy!!! I know, it's mean and this chapter was a little short, and I'm sorry! But don't worry, there will be more soon :D BTW, I'm sorry once again if anyone is OOC, or if I did a crappy job on the baseball scene. I didn't want to write every single detail, especially since I'm sure we ALL know how the baseball scene looks, if you don't, then watch the movie or go on YouTube. I took some of the dialogue from the book, but I tried to change it a bit so it's not exactly like the book. I hope y'all enjoyed this. I'm sorry to say that there are only a few chapters left :'-( I know, it's sad. This story is like my baby, and I certainly have improved on my writing lately too. I wasn't planning on doing a sequel BUT, before you guys do or say anything, my wonderful friend Katie (crackerjacksfairy) convinced me to write one, with her help, so YAY! She has joined this site under that username, so go to her profile and read her Death Sentence story, she is brilliant and awesome!! I'll update soon, so please review!!!
