Chapter 26:

7 points

"What the?" he said surprised as he flew back slightly. Then, his eyes flared with anger. He quickly masked it as he motioned Emmet forward. Emmet stupidly ran past Edward and I

'What a nut head' I thought.

"Nessie, why don't you come with us, we can have a talk" Edward said as he walked up to me.

"Uhuh . . . good luck with that" I said as I backed away.

I felt a strong hand on my back and on my shoulder. I didn't have to turn to know who it was.

'Emmet. Crap!'

"Nessie" Edward motioned to the house , a tint of smugness to his voice.

"Well, this has been a nice little chat but I really should get going" I said defiantly as I turned to leave.

Emmet's hand prevented me from even turning. I clenched my teeth.

"Nessie, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, now please, come with me inside so we can talk" he said, annoyance growing in his voice.

'Right, so I can tell you everything, spill the beans. Like that's going to happen. Dream on'

"Look Edward, why don't we make a deal" I suggested.

"Okay, what's your deal" he asked.

"You let me go and I'll convince Will not to shock you all the way to Seattle" I bargained.

His eyes tightened visibly. "No, how about you come with us for a few minutes and then we let you go" he contradicted.

"Let me think about it" I said as I put my hand on my chin pretending to think.

I peeked at Jasper and he just rolled his eyes.

"Well . . . I thought it out and I decided to decline your offer, thanks though" I said as I tried to turn again.

"I know, you'll come and then you'll leave" Emmet said as he picked me up and carried me to the house.

I was losing just about every ounce of dignity I had.

"Emmet, put me down" I said sternly.

"Nope, kidnapping you is fun" he said happily.

I started to struggle in his arms making them hold on tighter.

"Nessie, we just want to talk" Carlisle said as he ran to us.

Should've known the doc. would be in on this.

"Emmet, you have 5 seconds to release me before you regret it" I said, a plan completely formed in my head. "5 . . ."

"Oh, I'd like to see you try"

"4 . . .3 . . ."

"I'm not letting go"

"2 . . . 1 . . .1 . . . 1 . . .Emmet, I'm warning you . . . all of you" I said my eyes resting on all of them.

"Nessie, it's okay, we just want to talk, promise" Alice said.

"0 . . .fine, you asked for it" I said as I struggled harder in Emmet's arms.

He laughed, thinking this was my brilliant plan. Actually, I was squirming so I could face him. Once my face was inches from being buried in his shirt, I checked that no one was looking directly at me at drew my paintball gun, pointing it straight at Emmet's unprotected chest.

"I warned you" I whispered as I released about 50 paintballs.

He released me immediately.

"I warned you all" I said before I shot each of them straight in the chest except for Esme and Carlisle.

I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I ran in the direction of the forest. I heard when they began pursuit, after the shock wore off. I turned and ran and ran not noticing the big red spot indicating Alex until I slammed into him.

"What? Nessie? What are you" he said as we both flew toward a tree.

We slammed into it and it crunched, releasing Sophie and Melinda off the top. Alex caught Sophie and out of nowhere, Will came and caught Mel

"What? Nessie? What happened, why?" They all asked.

I quickly silenced them and pointed toward the path of my pursuers.

"Cullens" I whispered and the immediately tensed.

The appeared seconds later, as if on cue, stopping abruptly as they saw us all together.

"Yes." Will said coolly staring at Edward.

"We just want to" but Will shocked him back to a tree. He then shocked the floor, making a line of burned leaves and twigs. They got the idea. Stay on that side of the line.

"Please, we just want to talk. Violence isn't the way to solve problems. Let's just talk it out" Carlisle reasoned.

Will was visibly fuming, probably thinking of shocking Carlisle back with Edward. They doesn't understand how much they hurt mom and how much it affected us. We hate them. Totally loathe them.

"Carlisle, if I were you, I'd take a step back and shut up" I suggested.

He shook his head with a grin. "No Nessie, we have to get our feelings straight to settle the problem.

"What are you? A physiatrist?" Will asked at the same time the Cullen's erupted in yells, except Carlisle and Esme, all towards us.

Everyone except me yelled back. Wrong words Carlisle.

"ENOUGH!!!" I yelled as loud as I could.

Everyone quieted down and looked at me in shock. Luckily, I already had a another brilliant formulated.

"Carlisle and Esme are worth -1. Rosalie 1 and Jasper 2. Emmet 3. Alice 4 and Edward . . . 10" I ended.

My family understood immediately. When we played, we normally assigned point values and every time you hit the person, the number of points they were worth added onto your total.

"Wait! I'm not sure what this is but why am I worth only 1!" Rosalie screeched.

"You want to know something blond, I really hate you, so guess what, your worth 7 points" Alex snarled at her.

"Thank you"

Then, we left, hiding in the trees.

"What? They left? COWARDS!!" Emmet yelled at the trees.

"Emmet, I don't think they left, I think they're hiding, and I don't like it" Carlisle said.

Suddenly, I fired and hit Edward's head.

"10" I yelled.

I hit Emmet, Rosalie, and Alice.

"24!" I yelled.

Everyone got into it then, shooting the Cullens and calling out their point values. Everyone got splattered but Esme and Carlisle.

"Cover!" they yelled as the retreated to their house.

"Hahaha. Try to kidnap me again" I yelled as they left.

Suddenly, I was hit by a dozen paintballs. Our game was back on. I ran for the cover of the trees. I weaved through them stealthily, avoiding most shots. Of course, I slam right into my mom. Being the loving my she is she . . .shoots me?!!

"Mom!" I said annoyed as she shot me again.

"Okay, sorry, what do you need"

"Shield me . . . heartbeat . . .hunted out" I said as I ran.

"Oh! Sorry" she said as she shielded me.

We continued to play until it got really dark. Then we headed back. Everyone was covered in colors. I headed upstairs, put away all the gear and headed for the shower. I stripped down and got in the warm shower. I shampooed quickly and was about to leave when the water went freezing.

"AH!!" I yelled and I heard Alex and Will laughing.

"Ugh! I'll get you guys" I said as I finished my shower in about 7 seconds and got out, shivering. I dressed in my pajamas and blow dried my hair. I headed downstairs where my mom had made me hot chocolate with marshmallows.

"Hi" I said as I sat down and drank the chocolate.

"Hey, have fun" she asked.

"Yeah, but wow, that was. . . wow" I said before I spilled out too much.

I saw Alex come down stairs.

"Mom, can I have the marshmallows" I asked as she threw them across the counter. "Thanks"

I grabbed my ponytail, and used it as a sling shot, shooting marshmallows and Alex's open mouth.

"Eck, gah ,ah , ugh" he said as he spluttered some and swallowed other.

"Goodnight mom" I said and headed for my room.

"Night Alex" I said in a sweet voice and he just glared.

I said goodnight to everyone else, shot a couple of marshmallows at Will and went to my room. I fell asleep smiling, remembering all the detentions the Cullens had to serve tomorrow.
