I was painting Bella's room a soft shade of yellow when the phone rang. After ages of begging him, Charlie had asked me over under the pretense of watching the kids so I could redecorate Bella's room. So far, so good.
"Hello?" I said into the receiver, I had run down to the kitchen in a flash.
"Hello. Is this the Swan residence?" A smooth male voice asked.
"Yes, it is. This is Esme Cullen speaking. How may I help you?" I asked curiously.
"Mrs. Cullen, I intended to speak to Chief Swan, but since I assume he is not present, I will tell you. It has come to my attention that the Chief's daughter and your adopted children have been playing a game of Truth or Dare, the consequences of which have been offensive and traumatizing to various town members" The man stated.
"I'm terribly sorry, sir, I assure you neither the Chief nor I knew anything of this situation and I, for one, will do everything in my power to make sure my children are suitably punished" I apologized.
"Mrs. Cullen, that is all I wanted to hear. Thank you for your time" The man hung up and I was left with the kitchen phone next to my ear and a blind fury and embarrassment flowing through me.

"Oh, God, no!" Alice yelped suddenly. "Mike called here! He told Esme everything"
"Well, she's furious, and I don't intend to stay here and find out what she wants to do" Jasper said, standing up and pulling his wife to his side.
"Good Lord, she wants to kill us!" Edward whispered, shocked.
"Then let's get out of here, man" Emmett boomed.
"Move one inch and you die" Esme said from the kitchen, her voice eerily calm. Her face, though, was murderous. I had never seen her mad before, and let me tell you, that woman is terrifying.
"How could you do this to me? You all know you're forbidden to play that horrible game for a reason! After all the things that have happened in this family, you'd think you would learn a lesson! Time after time, I have let it go, and time after time you have disobeyed!" She fumed "I do not know what Charlie Swan will do when he finds out, and I do not care. All of you are punished for the rest of the summer. You will not leave the house. You are not allowed any contact with the outside world- your computers, DVDs, magazines, cars and televisions will be removed until I see fit. None of you may talk to Bella. Oh, and I better not catch you children playing this ever again, or I swear you will regret it for the rest of your immortal lives. That is all"
Esme stomped out of the room as we all sat there in stunned silence.
"Oh, wow" I said "That was…"
""…interesting" Rosalie finished.
We all looked at one another's shocked and horrified faces.
Emmett stood up decisively.
"I don't know about you guys, but I am going to kill Mike Newton"
