This is like my 4th/5th chapter based on day to with Sarah and the Cullen's. Who thought that a day could take so long to write, oh yeah, that's because it's the Cullen's and they make everything that is meant to be normal, not normal. Hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Cullen's, the Denali's or Wife Swap, but I do own any ideas in this story, so that's a positive.
Nessie's POV
We got to play our most favorite game 'Haunted House'. It had been fun to finally see the Denali's again; it had been about 10 years since we last spent anytime together.
Though it was fun to see them, it wasn't fun being tied up on the ground with my Dad, Uncles and My Jacob. We had all sorted out whose rooms our cousins were going to sleep in. Kate was going to be 'sharing' with my mum and me, only I would be the only one who was sleeping.
At times it was annoying being the only member of your family that sleeps. Since the others would plan our activities during the night, when we were all supposed to be asleep, I felt left out a lot. But the others always informed me and Jacob of what they had discussed before Sarah was up, so it was ok.
We were all gathered in Alice and Rose's room discussing the aspects of the next game we were intending to play.
"So Rose will set up the speakers, and connect it to the microphone, we'll use the cards to decide a persons fate." Dad was saying
"Can we have two ghosts this time, we've already done one and three and they weren't fun at all." Kate asked
"Of course, that means we will have 2 ghosts, one murderer and 11 victims, this will be so much fun." Alice replied.
"Do you think Sarah will join in with us, or will she freak out and demand that we stop playing immediately?" I asked remembering what she was like during our last game.
"She has to join in, it's what Esme would do, so because she has to act like Esme for this week she wont be able to say 'No'" Mum told me.
"Lets get set up then." Tanya said.
We all headed down stairs, to act like normal we were talking to the Denali's asking them what they had been up to, how long they were staying, if they were comfortable with the sleeping arrangements. Garrett said at one point
"How come I am always lumped with Jasper and Emmett, I mean no offence guys, but come one?"
We all had a bit of a laugh at that, whilst Jacob made up a story on the spot to make it seem like this is what always happens with us lot.
"Well Garrett, don't you remember the first and last time you slept in with me and Edward, oh no why would you? You managed to tip our bunk beds over causing me and Edward to hit our heads on the floor pretty hard and we had to be rushed straight to the hospital, that wasn't a nice surprise for our dad now, was it?"
"I did apologize." Garret mumbled.
"6 months after the incident." Dad added into the conversation.
We all laughed over it, Sarah looked over at us and had a look on her face as if she were thinking great-here-comes-the-insane-lot.
"So Sarah," Eleazar was saying "How are you enjoying your stay?"
"Well you know, its different than what I'm used to, may I ask whose related to who?"
Alice had known that Sarah would ask this question, she had told Eleazar to say that he was Esme's older brother, we had already informed Esme of this.
"Oh, well I'm Esme's brother, her older brother, and these three are my lovely children, they are all adopted."
"Of course" Sarah had mumbled under her breath.
"Daddy," Kate asked in a sugar sweet voice "May we join in with our cousin's next game?"
"What are going to play sweet heart?" Carmen asked her, she was playing along.
"Don't worry Mummy," Tanya then said in the same sugar sweet voice that Kate had used "we were just going to play Haunted House'."
I looked over at my Dad to see that he was having a hard time controlling his laughter. It must be from either Tanya or Kate's thoughts, or from the thoughts and facial expression coming from Sarah.
Garrett said "But we do you want you to join in with us, no game would be complete without you two playing alongside us."
"I never knew you were so compassionate." Jasper said to Garrett.
Garrett pretended to be hurt by Jaspers words "How can you say such a thing?" He then ran out of the room pretending to be crying.
"For the love of all that's holy" Sarah said exasperated.
"We'll get him." We all said, before running out of the room, presumably to find Garrett.
Once we were outside we all burst out laughing. It took us a while to finally calm down, but it was hard. Dad informed us all of what Sarah had been thinking through the entire episode.
"When Tanya and Kate called Carmen and Eleazar, 'Mummy' and 'Daddy', she was shocked, she couldn't believe that a teenager, who's been adopted, would call them Mummy and Daddy."
"Well we do have a certain image to follow, so does she think that we are exactly like you lot, mentally unstable?" Kate asked.
"Yeah she does, she thinks the whole family has some serious issues. She also thinks it's weird that a brother and sister would have to adopt children, so she thinks that Esme and Eleazar and Genetic dead ends, she's not far of the mark there." Dad was saying whilst trying not to laugh.
"What's our story for not being at school?" Garrett asked
"We finish school for half term tomorrow, so just say that your school finished a day early, and that every year we always spend time together as a family whether we are with you, or you are with us." Rose said.
It was a good idea.
Alice burst out laughing. We all turned to face her, suddenly my Dad was laughing and so was Uncle Jasper, Dad could read the thoughts that made Alice laugh and Jasper could taste her mood.
"Guys in... our game... Sarah...is...going... I can't... I can't say it." Alice said in between laughs.
"Sarah's going to be the murderer, so you know what that means..." Dad paused briefly "It means that we will never be found, so instead we can all go for a hunt whilst she tries to find us."
We all laughed before heading back inside of the house.
We headed back inside to deal with the grownups. Tanya and Kate had decided that they would walk in with their arms around Garrett, so that it would like they were supporting him.
"Garrett, I am very sorry, I didn't mean to be so inconsiderate." Jasper said.
So we were carrying on the charade.
"It's okay Jasper, I can't believe I overreacted like that, must be something from my past." Garrett said in a small voice.
We all saw Sarah roll her eyes. She had already encountered some strange things from the Cullen's.
"Can we play our game now?" Alice asked.
"Sure, as long as your all ok, and you set everything up yourselves." Eleazar said.
"We've already set everything up Uncle Eleazar, Garrett are you okay to play?" Emmett asked
Garrett nodded his head "Like I would pass up on a chance to play 'Haunted House'."
Sarah's POV
This family just kept getting weirder and weirder. Still no matter what was going on everyone wanted to play a game that they called Haunted House'. Just the name of it made me want to not join in but...
"Sarah?" Alice asked "Do you want to shuffle and hand out the cards?"
I couldn't refuse, so I shuffled the cards up. At the same time the children were talking about the rules. This game consisted of 2 ghosts, if they joined up correctly they would become 'human' but if the others discovered who they were, they would be instantly killed. Then there was a murderer, s/he could only kill a victim, if they accidently killed a ghost, they could tell the others and the game would be reset.
Why do these games have to be so complicated?
I handed a card out to everyone, the card I was left with said that I was to be the murderer. Emmett went of to switch all of the lights out; we were told that the murderer had to use the microphone when they had made a kill. Everyone was handed a torch, and with that everyone disappeared.
I decided to give everyone 2 minutes before I started to look; I mean it would be easy to find someone in this house, with there being so many people.
Turned out that it was harder than I thought. I went through each and every room, looking in every space that I could think of, under the bed, in the closet. Yet I found no-one. They couldn't of just disappeared I thought to my-self.
For two straight hours I searched and searched, then I started panicking, what if something had happened, or what if they were playing a trick on me?
Fortunately Carlisle came home at 10.30pm, as he came through the front door he called out "Hello children turn the lights on now please."
I headed down the stairs just as the lights turned on. All of the children were downstairs standing in front of Carlisle, How in the...
"Dad...Dad, look our cousins are here." Renesmee said
"Uncle Carlisle." The three youngest children called out.
"Carlisle, nice to see you again brother." Eleazar said
"Carmen, Eleazar it's so nice to see you guys again, I didn't know you were coming here. Tanya, Kate, Garrett nice to see three again." Carlisle said, he then turned and gave a look to his children that I didn't understand.
"They came as a surprise Dad," Edward told him "Don't worry we've set up the rooms... oh there you are Sarah, why haven't you been looking for us, we all met up and we realized you were the murderer."
I just stared at them, this was typical.
"Dad we would love to stay and chat but you know, last day of school before half term tomorrow, and we want to be refreshed so were going to bed early." Rosalie said
"Night Dad." The rest of the Cullen kids called out before heading up the stairs.
"Night Mum, night Dad." The three Denali kids called out before following the others.
"I'll go check on them," Carlisle said
I had, had enough for one night, I decided to call it early and head off to bed, I swear down I wasn't going to make it through this week if this kept happening, I lay my head on the pillow and dreamt of a better day to come tomorrow.
This is one of my longer chapters, actual its the longest one that I've done. I started to type it up and then I couldn't stop.
I hope you like this chapter, at the start of it I was laughing as I put my ideas into it, I was struggling towards the end of it, but I hope it makes sense and that you enjoyed it!
