26. First kiss

Emmett's POV

I couldn't hear the family bustling around downstairs. And that scared me a little bit.

"Night Em." Amy whispered. We were sleeping top and tailed on my bed.

"Goodnight."

I looked at my alarm clock. It was 12:30. Amy and I had spent a lot of the night playing cards, eating candy, reading etc. And for some reason, I wasn't' very tired.

"Em." Amy whispered. "You awake?"

"Yeah."

I lifted my head off my soft pillow, and looked towards her end of the bed. She was doing exactly the same thing.

"Do you…like me?" she asked. From the darkness, I couldn't tell her expression. She sounded embarrassed.

"Sure." I whispered back. "Don't you like me?"

"Of course I do." she said, and hesitated. "But I meant, in you know, that way."

I thought for a second. I think I liked her. She was very pretty, and very nice. "Yeah…I do."

I could tell she was smiling in the darkness.

I looked forward, and turned my head. I got a surprised when I felt something soft on my lips, and her weight was on top of me.

She was kissing me.

She pulled away, and looked at me sceptically. "Sorry."

I shook my head. "N-no. That was o-ok."

She smiled, and returned to her original spot. "Goodnight. Again."

"'Night."

I pressed my head against the pillow and sighed. That kiss was interesting.

I looked up again, and saw Amy snoring softly. I couldn't sleep at all, so I jumped out of bed, and padded down the hallway.

I made my way down the stairs carefully, being careful not to be seen.

"Em!" Esme shrieked, in a sort of weird whisper/shouting. "You had your first kiss!"

"Yeah. . ." she grabbed my face in both of her hands, and was kissing my cheeks. "Mom. . ."

She pulled away. "Sorry Sweetie. This is just so exciting!"

I shrugged. "It was awesome."

They both looked at each other, with a twisted expression. I shrugged it off.

"Why did she kiss you?" Esme asked. "I heard your conversation but. . ."

"Ugh, I dunno. It was random." I murmured.

"Emmett's got a girlfriend! Emmett's got a girlfriend!" Esme said excitedly.

"Emmett's got a girlfriend?!" Edward mimicked, coming into the kitchen with a huge grin.

"So, little stud," Jacob laughed. "You like her a lot, yes?"

Bella and Renesmee appeared from behind Jake's huge frame.

"Yes." I nodded.

For some reason, the atmosphere seemed tense. Not the normal chilling-with-Vampires. . .

Edward laughed.

"Why are you up Honey?" Esme asked. "Not that I mind, but if Amy wakes up, she might want some company."

Edward let out a laugh.

"I didn't mean it like that!" Esme snapped. "Anyway, he's only 10-years-old! Don't be so immature!"

I ignored their little quarrel. "Ugh, I couldn't sleep."

I rubbed my stomach, and looked down at my tracksuit pants.

"Honey, I think we should tell you something important, but, you shouldn't get scared by it." Esme said, and patted the chair next to her.

I walked to her, and plonked down on the white couch. "What's up?" I pursed my lips.

"You've noticed how Jasper and Alice are missing, right?" Esme said, in a soft voice.

"Of course."

They looked at each other.

"Are they ok?" I said, now rather worried.

"Yes, yes. But. . .They've been kidnapped, by the Volturi. Do you know who they are?"

I shook my head. I'm pretty sure my mouth was hanging open when I heard the word 'kidnapped'.

"Well there Vampire royalty."

I nodded.

"They're going to come here, soon." Esme cringed, waiting for my reaction. "Are you scared?"

I stared at a patch on the wall.

"Hello?" Jacob said, moving his hand in front of my face. "He's gone."

"No I'm not!" I snapped. "Just slightly. . .Surprised, that there are Vampire royalty!"

Everyone laughed. "So they'll return Jaz and Alice?" I said as if I was talking about a toy.

"Yes."

"W-when, will they c-come?" I stuttered.

"We don't know exactly." Carlisle said, reassuringly. "But there's absolutely nothing to worry about."

I nodded. "Okay." What happens if they hurt one of us? Speaking of 'us', where's Rosie?

"She's hunting." Edward answered my question.

I nodded. Ok. I could handle this time without her. . . I think.

"Would you prefer her to return?" Carlisle asked.

"Um, no, let her hunt. I don't think I have the guts to go back to bed though." I sort laughed. It was slightly hysterical.

Everybody looked at each other, obviously thinking about my fears.

"Will Amy be okay?" I asked.

"Of course she will." Esme said. "Why wouldn't she be? She's being guarded by 6 Vampires and 1 Werewolves."

I noticed she didn't count Alice or Jas.

I nodded again. "Can I. . .Stay with you Mom?"

"Of course you can sweetie."

I walked out of the kitchen, and towards the couch. Esme followed.

I plonked down onto the couch, and pulled my legs up. Esme sat very close to me. Her coldness was comforting.

We sat in silence, and she pulled me into her lap, and kissed my forehead.

I snuggled into her soft hair, and closed my eyes. I breathed in her scent.

"Mom?" I asked suddenly.

"Yes Honey?"

"Are we gonna be. . .Okay?" I said, cringing at the thought of anything happening to our family.

Why did this stupid Vampire family have to come and reck my summer? Reck everything?

She hesitated. "Yes. . .Sure we will."

I sighed, and closed my eyes again. I had thought, a lifted my heavy head up, so I was looking directly into Mom's golden eyes. "What if they are looking for us right now? Rosie's out there!? Alone!" I shrieked.

"Shhh. . ." Esme said, and pressed my hand down into her hair again. "She's a Vampire, what could stop her?"

"The Volturi." I whispered.

Esme had no answer for this.

My heavy lids began to droop, and I closed my eyes.

Rosalie's POV

I sunk my teeth into the Elk's soft skin, and sucked the blood ruthlessly out of it.

I had finished 5 deer, and felt incredibly full. Sluggish even.

I threw the Elk aside, and stood up. I wiped my mouth, and began to sprint out of the clearing.

I was busy thinking as I ran, and forgot about my surroundings.

Why would the Italian scum take Jasper and Alice? Why them? Why not Ness, or myself?

Carlisle had a few theories. Maybe they took Alice in particular, because then, they could use the element of surprise? Make sure we were off guard, when they attacked? Jasper, on the other hand, was a mystery.

I continued running, and saw the house in the distance. I shot forward, eager to get back to Em.

I rounded the corner, and opened the front door. I noticed the time. It was 3:03. How long had I been gone?

I bumped into Esme, who was holding Little Emmett in her arms, ready to take him up to his room.

I smiled at her. He looked so peaceful.

"He couldn't sleep so. . ." she whispered.

I nodded, and rubbed my hand over his cheek. Esme looked at me, and smiled.

She ran up the stairs, and I heard her walking upstairs in Emmett's room.

I felt so lost right now. Without the little pixie fairy telling us everything she sees. I laughed at myself.

I looked at the lounge, only to find Bella and Edward entwining hands on the white couch. "Hey, Bell. Hey Edward."

I sat down on the couch near them.

"You ok Rose?" Bella asked.

"Ugh, yeah. Just missing Alice and Jasper." I murmured.

"We all are. Without the little pixie telling us everything she's sees. Even things we don't need to know at all. ." Edward trailed off, with a disgusted look on his face. Bella and I laughed.

"Anything on the Volturi Al—" I began. "Oh right. She's not here."

We all sighed, just as Nessie and Jake walked in the room, letting off a foul stench in my nose. Ew.

Esme and I continued to exchange worried glances. How will we save our little Em? We will just have to hope.

"Rosie?" I heard a groggy voice whisper from the staircase. "'Morning guys."

I ran to him, and hugged him tight.

"Helllo. . ." He dragged it out, obviously confused by urgent affection. "Is everything okay?"

"Sure it is!" I blurted out, a little strained.

He narrowed his eyes. "What's happened?" He turned to Esme. "Esme?"

"Nothing, nothing." she murmured.

"Em," I heard a little voice murmur, from up the stairs.

"Oh Em, Amy's up." I whispered, and pushed him towards the stairs. He launched up the stairs, taking 2 at a time.

I sat back down again, and sighed. I felt s break down coming on. . .

What if, like Bella, Emmet needed to be changed?

I shivered, and so did Edward. None of us wanted that fate for our little boy.

I heard Emmett and Amy walking down the stairs, walking very close together. "Good morning everyone. Thankyou for letting me stay over."

"No worries Honey! I'll need to speak to Mr and Mrs. . ." Esme said.

"Nicholson." Amy said.

Esme nodded, and went to get the phone.

"You guys want some breaky?" I asked. They both nodded, as we walked towards the kitchen.

"Oh Amy!" Esme said, arching her back around the corner. "Your parents are going to be here in half a hour."

"Okay." she said, obviously sad to leave so soon.

"The faster we get her out of here, the better. Wouldn't want her to be here when the Volturi arrive." Esme whispered, to fast and quiet for anyone to here. I nodded.

Emmett and Amy dug into their cereal hungrily, not even stopping for a breath. I laughed at them.

They finished the bowl ridiculously fast for any human, and pushed it back.

"I'm full." They both said, and laughed that they said it at the same time. So immature.

"I'm gonna go get changed 'k Em?" Amy said, and jumped off her stool to run upstairs.

I leaned in front of Emmett, and he stared into my eyes. I stared into to his too.

I felt like just by looking into each other's eyes, we were speaking to each other. Or I felt like I had jasper's power. I could tell his emotions.

I saw love, adoration, nervousness. Nervousness for the Volturi I guessed. Love for his family, adoration for. . .who? Amy? Me?

That's something I'll have to find out in time I guess.
