Chapter 24:

Overexcitement

"Mom! What happened. Are you okay. What did he do. When" but she was cut short when Will put his hand on her mouth.

"Bella, he has some nerve. Did he hurt you? What" but he was cut short when Alex put his hand on his mouth.

"Bells, are you okay? What did he say? Why" but he was cut short when Melinda put her hand on his mouth.

I nearly started laughing. This was getting pretty hilarious. They all shut each other up just to ask the same thing themselves.

"I swear he will be stuck underground for ages. I should freeze him and then burn him to the point of non-existence. Who" but she was cut short when Sophie put her hand on her mouth.

"You seem upset. Happy? Did he . . .? What happened. How" but she was cut short when I put her hand on her mouth using telekinesis.

"Oh . . .sorry" she said muffled by her hand as she looked at everyone realization hitting her.

I just laughed and everyone released their hands.

"I'm fine. He just wanted to explain some things" I said calmly trying to fool myself.

"Uhuh . . . right . . . Bella, you don't believe yourself" Sophie said laughing.

"No, really, he did. When he finished, I courteously kicked him out" I said laughing this time.

Everyone joined in.

"So guys, anybody up for paintball tag?" I asked.

"YES!!" they yelled so loud I nearly put my hands over my ears.

"Okay. We'll meet out front in ten" I said as I ran up to my room.

I changed into jeans and a long sleeved blue and black stripped shirt. I put my hair up into a ponytail and put sneakers on. I finished getting ready and then ran to the arena room. All the supplies except mine were gone. I grabbed the paintball gun, vest, goggles and ammo. The goggles and vest were unnecessary but we liked to get into the true spirit of the game.

I attached the ammo to my belt and zipped up the vest. I slung the paintball gun on my back and placed the goggles on top of my head like a head band. I added a few last minute touches and ran down. I went outside and they were all ready.

Nessie was in long purple pants and a white long sleeved shirt with happy bunny on the front. She had the purple set. Sophie was in long black pants and a long sleeved orange Aeropostale shirt. She had the orange set. Melinda also had on jeans with a yellow shirt and jean jacket. She was the yellow team. Will had khaki pants on with a green striped shirt. He was the green team. Alex had jeans and a tight red shirt on making the red team.

"Atten Hut!" I said in my best military voice.

They all straightened up, guns against their chest. Nessie took one peek at everyone else and feel to the floor laughing. We all joined her as they relaxed their stance

"Ready guys?" I asked.

"Yeah!" they shouted as I flew back.

Mental Note: don't get gifted vampires too excited. They ran to me surprised. I just looked at them crazily. How could they miss the obvious?

"Oh!" Will, Sophie and Melinda said in unison. "Sorry" they said sheepishly.

"Why?" Alex and Nessie asked confused.

"Well, I shocked her" Will confessed

"I blew wind at her" Melinda said quietly.

"Yeah, and I overloaded her senses" Sophie said looking down.

Nessie and Alex looked at them in astonishment.

"Not intentionally!" they yelled at the same time.

Stupidly, I repeated the question again. "Okay, Okay, is everyone ready?" I said as I got up.

"Yeah!" They shouted as I once again flew back.

This time, I brought it on myself. I put up a finger to motion them to stop. I picked myself up and brushed the dirt off my jeans.

"Okay, obviously you're ready. Now, you all know the rules. You may hit anybody anywhere but watch your shots. Will, Melinda, you guys may not keep up a constant shield and neither will I. I shall try not to read your thought but I shall still shield you mentally . . .incase"

"Incase" they repeated understanding.

"Okay" I said as I put a flare on the ground and set the timer to 30 seconds.

"We have 30 seconds until it shoots off. When it does, the game begins" I said as I clicked the blue button.

I turned and nobody was there.

"Abandoners!" I called jokingly as I ran into the forest.

I ran deep and climbed up into a tree. I felt the tree shake at the BOOM!! and I saw the blue flare shoot up into the sky. The game has begun.

EPOV

"Please Bella. Everything I told you that day in the forest was a lie. It killed me you accepted it so easily. Please believe the truth not the lie. Please Bella. It's killed me not being with you. Not knowing if you were okay. I just wanted you to have a normal human life. Please Bella. I lied" I pleaded. "Forgive me" I begged almost falling to my knees.

She looked away and pointed to the door.

What! Well, maybe she'll think about it. No, she'll probably just be stubborn and won't.

"Can you promise me something" I asked.

"Yes" she said.

Yes!

"Will you at least think about it" I pleaded. She might change her mind

She took a couple of deep breaths as I waited, desperate for her answer.

"Fine, I promised, now, leave please" she said in a small voice.

Her eyes were filled with pain. I yearned to comfort her. To wrap my arms around her and promise her everything would be okay but I knew that would make things worse right now. I nodded sullenly and ran off.

I ran toward the direction of my house. Their thoughts were a jumbled mess.

'What was that' 'Esme thought.

'Maybe they have gone crazy' Carlisle thought.

'Haunted! War Man 3 is haunted!'Jasper and Emmet thought. What the?? Haunted?

'Why does my hair feel all sticky?'Alice and Rosalie were thinking simultaneously

Suddenly, I collided with something. I immediately whipped my face toward where the force came from. I couldn't hear any thoughts but I definitely slammed into something . . . or someone. Who was the invisible one? Maybe he was the spy earlier.

"Alex?" I asked remembering.

I heard a shallow breath and walked towards the sound slowly. I distinctly heard when a dead leaf crunched as if stepped on, proving someone was there.

"Crap" someone whispered.

I recognized that voice

"Nessie?" I said more assured. I definitely recognized it. Why is she invisible? "Don't be afraid" I soothed as I moved closer.

I grasped the air in front of me but it was empty. I could smell her faintly though. Unluckily, I was interrupted by Alice and Rose screaming.

"MY HAIR!!!! UGH!! MY ROOM!!!" I heard them shriek.

What? Hair? Room? My house doesn't seem very pleasant right now.

"Come on" the voice I recognized as Nessie's whispered.

I followed the sound of her voice. "I won't hurt you guys . . . err . . . and/or girls but I know you're here and there's more than one of you" I stated.

Someone was with her. Once again, someone else called out. This time it was Carlisle.

"Edward, come on. I need to see what happened to Jasper and Emmet. They're crazy or mortified or both. Hurry son" he called through the window in his office.

I caught an image of Emmet in Jasper in the fetal position. What the heck? I turned toward the house and to the sound of the voice. Should I pursue or help. I turned back and forth about ten times until I let out a sigh of defeat and walked toward the house. I have to deal with this first. I called out to them as I walked towards the house and tilted my head back.

"I know you guys are there, and you too Nessie, I recognize your voice. I'll find out one way or another" I stated as I walked into my house.

I was hit with tons of thoughts as I walked up the stairs.

"EDWARD! GET IN HERE!!" Rosalie yelled. He will pay for this! Pay for what.

I hesitated for a second but then went in as I saw my car in shreds in the corner of the garage. The second I entered her room, I fell to the floor laughing. Her room looked as if a paint bomb exploded it.

"EDWARD!!" she called angrily.

I looked up and cracked up even harder. I was laughing so hard my whole body was rapidly vibrating. Her hair was a bright neon green!

"SHUT UP!!" she yelled angrily.

I didn't even try. I heard Alice's thoughts and saw that her room looked the same but pink and her hair was bright neon pink. I nearly thought I would start crying from the laughter. My sides even started to hurt.

"YOU SUCK EDWARD!!" I heard Alice yell as she stormed into the room.

Suddenly, I was flying toward the forest. I slammed into a tree and fell to the ground. OW! That hurt. I ran back to the house but climbed up to Carlisle's study instead of facing Rose and Alice again. I landed in with a small Thump and turned to find Carlisle. I found him crouched down next to Emmet and Jasper, who were in a fetal position rocking back and forth, trying to calm them.

"What" but I couldn't finish as laughter over took me and once again I found myself on the floor vibrating.


A/N

Hey guys! So?? What do you think. I have about 2 more chapters in mind before day 3 comes. Trust me, after those the days will pass a lot quicker. Until them, bear with me please, this is important. I know, Cliffy. I have found a resolution to my problem of my stupidity of trying to write 4 stories at the same time. I will try to update once every week , only 1 chapter but for all 4 of my stories. Deal? Oh! I can't for a while becuase of the holidays and my parents want me to spend the time with my familiy (Which sadly includes my 23 year old guy cousin who is in love with me. I know, creepy . . . super creepy). So yeah but I'll try. See this as an early/late present. Depends on what you celebrate. Happy Holidays!
