Chapter 17:

Electric Goal

"You're lying" Sophie said as she and Melinda walked up to me.

I walked back in rhythm but slammed into Will. He grabbed my shoulders and I yelped in pain. It felt as if someone put a blade with soap and salt in a cut and then turned it 360°.

"What happened Nessie" he said startled as he let go.

I covered my mouth with my hand and sank to my knees. I closed my eyes tight and shook my head violently as I tried not to scream. Tears spilled over and I tried unsuccessfully to wipe them off but I yelped again as the movement caused searing pain in my shoulders.

"Nessie!" Sophie said as she ran towards me.

Melinda grabbed me by the arms and sat me on her lap. They tried to pull up the sleeves of my shirt. I tried to fight them but the movement caused terrible pain making more tears spill over. Will and Alex were in front of us so no one saw our little scene.

Sophie grabbed my sleeves and ignoring my futile arguments and fighting, she pulled them up. Both Sophie and Melinda gasped in horror.

"N-e-e-e-s-s-s-i-e-e-e" Sophie stuttered for the 1st time in her life at a loss of words. I heard 2 more gasps.

"Nessie, what happened!" Alex asked, his eyes turning blue around the edges.

"Nothing" I mumbled as I pulled down my sleeves.

"Nothing? Nothing! Nessie, look at your shoulders" Melinda said as she lifted my shirt sleeves once more.

I looked down at my shoulders and nearly gasped myself through the tears. My shoulders were all purple and blue. They were swollen and some things were sticking out in a weird, unnatural way.

"Nessie, what happened" Sophie asked, completely serious.

"Nothing, it's okay, I'm fine" I said as I wiped the tears ignoring the fierce pain and protest of my shoulders. I stood up to walk away but Melinda grabbed my waist and again, pulled me back down.

"Nessie, what happened" Will and Sophie said simultaneously, 100% serious. They crouched down so they would be at my level while I was sitting and looked at me straight in the eyes.

"I . . .I . . .I . . ." I tried to explain as those deceiving tears fell again.

"Nessie!" they said getting impatient but still comforting and caring.

I made them all lean down. I touched Will's and Alex's hand with my left hand and Sophie's and Melinda's with my right. I showed them the quick scene with Rosalie. I showed them quickly and I gasped as I let my arms fall. Just keeping my arms up 1 inch hurt terribly.

"Those . . . I . . .wait! They hurt you. Our promise is over" Will said as he got up.

"Will!" I said as I ignored the excruciating pain and moved my arm up and pulled him back. I let go and put my hand over my mouth to muffle my scream.

"Nessie! Oh, I'm so sorry" he said as he placed his cold hand lightly on 1 of my shoulders. It felt good.

"Will, we can't kill them. Think of what it would do to m-Bella. Just seeing them and you saw what it did. Now think of her finding out we killed them. It would kill her as well" I said.

"Nessie, I . . . that's two . . . I can't . . . "

"Will, do you still have some of your blueprints" I asked.

"Yeah, why?" he said as he pulled them out of his back pocket.

"Use them and make new ones. Only as pranks though. I'll make it up to Rosalie, I promise" I said as I wiped my tears in pain.

"Okay everyone, come on, get together in your assigned groups" Mrs. Gymfit called into the microphone.

"Nessie, if you want, we can get you a pass to the nurse" Sophie said as she helped me up.

"No, it's okay, I'll just stay out of it as much as I can" I said hoping our lineup today wasn't too rough.

"Nessie, are you sure? We can take things from here" Melinda said.

"Positive, I want to dish out some too y'know" I said as I walked over to the lineup board.

We were scheduled for a game of soccer. Then, we would switch to capture the flag for the rest of the period since it was a long game. Not too bad. I knew football was on its way, I just hoped not soon. I would bandage up my shoulders at home. It would take about 1 week to heal. I healed a lot faster than humans did for some weird reason.

"To the soccer field" Melinda called as she finished slipping on her cleats.

Sophie helped me with mine and we both walked off together.

"I'll be goalie" Alex called.

We ran to the field and met up with the Cullen's. Jasper had a pained expression. He must be feeling my pain. Ha! Serves their family right. Edward looked at me confused and slightly angry. Oh, cool down you block of ice I teased icily as we set up our positions. We tried our best since soccer is normally played with 11 people and not 5.

Alex set up position in front of the goalie box. Sophie decided to be the fullback. She stood a couple feet in front of the goalie box. I was the mid fielder and Melinda and Will were the forwards. I looked at their set up. Edward and Alice were their forwards, of course. Emmet was their mid fielder and Jasper was their fullback. Rosalie was their goalie. HA! Hahahahahaha! I thought. I can't wait to see Rosalie get one of Will's specialty shock balls thrown straight at her chest.

"Ready!" called the Cullen's

"Set. Go." I muttered under my breath.

"Ready!" called Will as he snickered at my words.

We won the coin toss so we got the ball first. It continued from there. We moved the ball forward but Edward heard our thoughts and Alice saw our intentions In no time, they were running towards our goalie box. I double timed it hoping to catch up to Edward. He kicked it but Alex caught it.

"TIME OUT!!" I yelled.

The Cullen's snickered as they ran back to their side of the field.

"Guys, Alice is seeing our intentions and Edward is picking out our plays. We have to play with no strategy. Don't think, just do" I told them.

They all nodded and we got back to the game. The Cullen's were confused. We made a goal quickly.

"See" I told them.

"Nice" Will said as he put his hand up for a high five. I forgot about my shoulder. I shot my hands up only to lower it quickly and scream in my sleeve.

"Oh Nessie, I'm sorry, I forgot" he said.

"S'okay, I'm fine, lets continue" I said as we got back to the field.

The game went b pretty quickly. Will shot a shock ball straight at Rosalie's chest. it was pretty hilarious, her hair got all messed up and she flew back, twitching. Sophie made anybody who got close to our goal nervous or scared. Jasper was the only one that could make a goal because he counteracted it. I made a goal and thankfully, my shoulders didn't bother me once. I just had to not move them. Will made 3 and Melinda 2. She shook the ground near her making the Cullen's lose their balance. Mrs. Gymfit blew the whistle.

"Switch" she yelled.

Capture the flag was next. We lived near a forest so this was a fun game to play. I read this series once called Percy and the Olympians so I sort of knew how to play. Of course, this game wasn't as deadly. We had a Blue Flag and the Cullen's had a Red Flag. Melinda explained the rules to us.

"Guys, it's simple. Get their flag to our side of the field. The flag has to be visible and we can't babysit it. I think Nessie should"

"NO! Come on Mel, I don't want to watch the flag. I think I should do offense with Alex and Sophie. You and Will should guard the flag since you guys have better abilities" I suggested.

"Not bad, okay! Deal. I'll hide the flag so you guys don't know where it is. By the time the Cullen's see me, it won't matter because they'll see the flag" Melinda said.

She hid the flag really far back since all of us could run fast. Of course, if we tried to run, they would hear us because of the leaves.

"Wait! Wait! there is something I want to do before we start" Sophie said.

"What is it Sophie?" I asked.

"Payback" she said as she ran toward the parking lot.

We were really close to it now. I ran behind her. She went to Rosalie's BMW and took out a wrench. In a few seconds, she had a black thing in her hands.

"Ha! Try to start your car without this" Sophie laughed as she turned.

"Nessie!" She said startled that I followed her.

"Come on, let's bury our treasure" I said as I ran back. Her laugh echoed through the empty lot. We caught up with our family in a matter of seconds.

"Melinda, bury this" Sophie said as she tossed it to Melinda. Mel opened a hole in the ground, tossed it in, and covered it back up again.

"What was that" she asked curiously.

"Oh nothing, just something that all cars need to start and curiously, Rosalie's BMW no longer has one" she said as she smirked.

We all burst out into fits of laughter. A red flare shot up in the forest. The game had started. We aimed our flare over the school building and shot it. That way it would be harder to trace. It exploded into a beautiful blue heart, Ironic.
