Summary: Emmett disagrees with his family, especially Edward,for leaving a heartbroken Bella behind after her birthday incident, so he decides to return and care for her.

" I wouldn't have left her like you did!"

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. Stephanie Meyer is the respective owner, I'm just fooling around with the characters.

" Why do you think Carlisle kept this stuff around? I mean it's great and all, but it's not like he actually drinks," Emmett spoke, then downed a glass.

" I mean the man has been abstaining from alcohol since I've met him."

Rosalie groaned.

" You know, if I would've known it would have been this boring around here, I probably would have brought Alice along with me."

Emmett cut his eyes at Rosalie from the kitchen table, a crystal shot glass in his hand as he whisked the golden liquid inside. He tilted his head up and it poured down his throat, hissing as it went. He swallowed and hissed a little, before sighing content, staring at the large bottle of Scotch at the counter behind him.

Carlisle sure had been hiding some good stuff while they lived there.

He wasn't afraid to admit it, he still drank a little alcohol from time to time, I mean it wasn't like he could get buzzed, and it helped sometimes, whenever he had the urge for blood.

Animal blood twenty-four seven just didn't do it for him, it never did really.

It made him sort of sick sometimes, even.

It was tiring after a while, drinking what could be considered artificial blood for a vampire, and he could never resort to actually killing anybody. Alcohol was the next best thing, and it seemed to be working. Plus, he just enjoyed it, it was like a hobby you could say, during his free time, and it didn't taste any different than it did when he was human.. at least he didn't think it did.

It was fun okay?

" Don't joke about that like she'd even give Forks a second thought."

Rosalie looked up from a page at the magazine she was reading and cocked her head to the side a little.

" She cared a lot about Bella too, you know. They all did. Carlisle, Esme, and Jasper, they wanted nothing more than to become a family with her."

" Then why aren't they here, you know, caring about her?" Emmett retorted, the tone of his voice didn't even began to describe how annoyed he was. Alice may have been his sister- adopted sister technically- but that didn't mean he was just going to ignore the fact that she, along with the rest of his family, had turned their backs on someone they cared about, started to love even. It just didn't make any sense to him, how Rosalie could even think to defend them.

" They're ashamed Emmett. Ashamed that they put Bella in those dangerous situations in only a matter of weeks of knowing us and discovering our secret, just as Edward had been. They agreed with Edward, they didn't want that life for her anymore; they cared about her too much. And seeing as Edward always made the final decision when it came to Bella... they didn't question it. It was hard for them, for us, but we left."

"God, how do you think Jasper felt? He actually tried to kill her; he's been feeling guilty ever since,"

" They still care about her Emmett, that's why they're not here." She answered, matter-of-factly. She even seemed to be proud at her explanation, to which earned a snort from Emmett.

It made sense. But it still didn't justify the fact that Bella was still in danger.

" Well, while they're busy not being here, there are vampires still out there, looking to kill Bella. She's still in danger Rosalie, no matter how you look at it. She's involved now, and there's nothing we can do to fix that," She dropped the magazine on the couch then, and rose from her seat on the couch, crossing her arms over her chest.

" Well then what do you suppose we do about it, all high almighty and superior?"

" I... don't know," He confessed, and her eye twitched.

"I mean they obviously have no intention on coming back themselves. Why should we try and act on it-" His sentence was cut short as the doorbell rang throughout the house. Their eyes averted to the door a couple hundred feet away, warily. Emmett set his glass down and took a couple of steps forward.

In the blink of an eye, he was at the door, and Rosalie cautiously stood on the other side, nodding to him.

" Now who would be dropping by at this hour?"

" It's five o' clock," Rosalie stated, bluntly. " Wait a minute, I hear a heartbeat," She said, relaxing a little. Emmett opened the door and grinned then, relaxing a little himself when he recognized the brunette at his doorstep. He smirked, ignoring the look Rosalie gave him from the side.

" Bella, please come in," The expression on her face proved that something had been bothering her, and he raised his eye brow in question as she shut the door.

And then, his nose detected something.. awful smelling.

" Bella, why in the hell do you smell like that?" Rosalie asked, scrunching her nose up.

Emmett sent her a look. The blonde vampire sighed. "To put it delicately."

Emmett tried his best not to mimmick the blonde but he couldn't help it. Whatever it was.. it smelled horrible. It didn't smell... normal, at all and he almost felt a little sorry as he took a step back, and chuckled when the brunette's face grew redder.

She blushed. " I-I don't know. I didn't know I smelled like much of anything!" She stammered, awkwardly smelling her shirt for the source.

" Well you know usually you smell like roses. With a hint of peppermint if I may add," Her face grew redder.

Rosalie rolled her eyes. " Okay, why are you here anyway? Not that I mind anymore but something seems to be troubling you."

" Well, I wasn't sure if it was okay to ask you guys this, but-"

" Spit it out Bella. You came here on your own terms, and we would like to hear what you have to say,"

She placed her hands on her hips. "We may be old and immortal, but even we don't have time for this."

Emmett cocked his head to the side a little and smirked.

" Did your... ancestors... ever bother the people of the reservation in La Push?"

Emmett laughed- and even Rosalie snorted a little at the question.

" Why are you laughing?"

" Bella- our ancestors would have never even thought of moving here. Secondly, our ancestors were alive when this place wasn't even thought of. That doesn't make anysense, and why would our ancestors torment that place anyway? And we're technically not even related."

" You're a comedy Bella, did you know that?"

She folded her arms over her chest, clearly ticked off. It just looked so adorable on her though, Emmett couldn't help but laugh more.

" Okay, maybe I'm asking this wrong," She replied, taking a deep breath.

" Did you guys ever step foot in La Push territory?"

" No." Emmett informed her, right away, stuffing his hands in his pockets. "There's no need to, we can't anyway." She seemed to be getting interested now as a few seconds went by. He walked a little bit towards the living room, and Rosalie silently led Bella towards the couch, where she took a seat. Rosalie, spoke up next, studying intently the small strands of her long blonde hair. He sighed. It was better she knew about all of this now, before she found out on her own; and if she was anything like the danger magnet she was when she stupidly took on James- oh wait, she was.

Yeah, she needed to be informed, as soon as possible. Before she started looking for answers on her own and got herself killed in the process.

" We made a treaty with the officials in 1936, when we first moved here." Rosalie said.

" Put up a bit of a fight at first, but we all managed," Emmett added with a smirk.

" So then.. how did you guys stay so long and avoid suspicion? I thought you were the nomad vampire type, that's what Carlisle told me before."

" Oh we moved away, and back then it was just me, Emmett, Carlisle, Esme and Edward. We met Alice and Jasper along the way, and we eventually found and stayed with the Denali Coven in Alaska. They were another group of vampires that had similar dietary circumstances when it came to blood. It took a while, going from coven to coven, but we had finally found one that shared our lifestyle as vampires. They fed from animals too."

The blonde tilted her nose up a little towards the end and Bella rose a brow, curious.

" She has beef with one of the vampire chicks there, so try not to look too curious next time when she has that snobby look her fac-"

" Emmett, I swear, you can be so aggravating sometimes it's degrading."

Bella squirmed rather uncomfortably, Emmett noticed and she laughed an awkward laugh.

So pure.

" I know that must have felt great, you know, not feeling so alone anymore." They nodded in unison. Back then, Emmett was just new to the group as Alice and Jasper were when they joined fourteen years later. He was just happy the family he had grown accustomed to was growing as much as it had.

" The residents there were starting to stare, like really stare," He explained, a slight smile on his lips as he remembered back when. " They were starting to make up all these crazy things as to how we, along with the Denali Coven looked so similar even though we were supposedly unrelated, which we were. Why we all look so different from everyone else, so perfect-"

" But you were...used to that..right? Everyone else noticing you were so flawless it was too good to be true?"

" Is that what you thought of me?" He teased. She blushed again.

" Focus please, Emmett." Rosalie spat beside him.

" Right. And yeah.. and well.. not to mention.. Jasper had a slip up there too,"

" Jasper...he actually killed someone. He drank human blood.."

Emmett nodded, confirming Bella's widening eyes.

Rosalie spoke then. " It was a girl a little younger than you, fifteen or sixteen maybe. " She paused, with soft eyes. " But you have to understand, he had being coming out of a dark time when we first met him. It was hard for him to restrain himself as he did, but even then we stuck together. Carlisle made the decision then to leave, and after some thought, he decided we come back to Forks,"

" And now, here we are. Only now, they're back in Alaska. But you know, the people that were around back then are ancient history now," Emmett said with a chuckle, and Rosalie glared at him, muttering at how childish he could be at times. He shrugged, it was true.

Bella seemed to be processing all of this now, so he stood there and waited.

He was ogling her again, before he knew it. She undoubtedly beautiful today, as she always was. Her hair was pulled into a messy ponytail, thin wisps of her brown hair fell lightly against her smooth ivory skin, leaving more of her face to admire than he usually had access to when her hair was down and spilling over her shoulders.

And those lips. Just yesterday he had been kissing those. Tasting those.

He unknowingly licked his lips.

" Emmett?" He heard Bella ask, a little uncertain.

" Yeah, what's the matter Emmett? You look like you're thinking about something delicious."

" Uh what? Oh um- nothing," He said, choking on his own words. He could hear the teasing tone in Rosalie's voice and he fought the urge to glare at her.

He was stammering, what the fuck was this?

Instead, he looked to his dear Bella for to continue.

Oh god, his Bella?

Who was he, Edward?

" What was the purpose of the treaty being made in the first place? I mean, I get that they knew you were vampires and everything, but.. they actually fought you. How did they think they could have any chance of even laying a scratch on you?" Bella wondered, and Emmett smirked, leaning forward a little.

" Shapeshifters. They felt they and their people needed protection from us, and since we didn't want to be targeted by their asses either, we came to a compromise. "

" Shapeshifters? You mean like.. people who shift into things?" Bella asked. Rosalie nodded, folding her arms over her chest.

" Or to put it more accurately, people who shift into animals. They shifted in wolves."

" They were werewolves basically if you want to get technical." She added.

" Werewolves actually exist?"

" Well what would you expect, with vampires roaming the world?" She asked, and Bella smiled a little, agreeing.

" What were... the names of the officials you guys made the treaty with?"

" Well the leader's name was something- Ephraim was it? Yeah... Ephraim Black." Rosalie nodded with a stern expression, confirming his answer.

Bella's eyes widened for what had the be the thousandth time that day- except they stayed that way for a while.

" Hey, what's wrong?" Emmett asked, chuckling. " You're not scared are you? They're long gone right now, and besides, I would never let one come as close as an inch near you. They'd be stupid to even think otherwise." He assured her.

" N-No it's not that. I just realized I had to start cooking for Charlie soon. He's supposed to be home early tonight so I'd better get started." She said hurriedly, and rose from her seat on the couch.

" Hey I can take you hom-"

" No it's okay. I drove here anyway so- sorry I intruded like this. Really, it was immature of me."

" H-Hey.. it was.. no problem Bella," Rosalie trailed off awkwardly. "Oh great, now I'm stuttering."

" See you later Emmett, Rosalie! It was nice to get to know you guys a little better."

And then she was out the door.

Two awkward beats, and then Emmett spoke up, turning towards the kitchen.

" So, I'm gonna go drink some more," He drawled. " Want a glass?"

Rosalie raised her brows and sighed, shrugging her shoulders. " Why not?"

Author's Note: Another chapter done! And in the same day, just for you guys! You are all amazing and I thank you so much for reading!

By the way, after thinking, even though I'm glad you've actually thought about my poorly-worded options for my plot route in the last Author's Note, that I've decided to just go through with this story, with hints of New Moon, but with a whole new plot of my own! And if all goes right, I'll just make a sequel after this story with the ending I've decided with!

You down?

Thanks for all the reviews from: jessa76, Konohashinobi07( -I'm trying to get into Naruto now lol), Clairedian, kayteekaitlin, Matthias Stormcrow, Shades-Soul, and Sarcastic-Bimbo( I love your username haha).

And thank you so much to Shades-Soul for your heartwarming comment! I'm glad my story was worthy enough to bring you to the Emmett/Bella side! I am more of an Emmett/OC pairing myself, but seeing as there aren't many good ones.. what are you going to do huh?

And I'm thankful for all of your suggestions. They really aided me in my final decision!

You guys have been giving me soooo much good feedback from this story, so I must be doing something right!

And you know, after I added that whole alcohol part with Emmett, I immediately started thinking about Damon from The Vampire Diaries!

And he's so freaking gorgeous.

Am I the only one that's dangerously attracted to Ripper Stefan?

It's just not even funny how hot I think he is!

He's just so sly and bad.. why is he so sexy? I guess I just have a thing for bad boys. * shrugs*

Anyways, see you guys in my next chapter!

You know what to do!
