Chapter 1
I sat in bed wrapped in the comforter, unsure of how to feel about the upcoming day. It was morning, early morning, about three o'clock early morning and any minute Edward was about to barge in and tell me it was time to leave. That's what we were about to do- leave, and we weren't coming back, not for many years. At least a hundred if ever. And all we were leaving behind was an empty house, two notes, and silence. Of course I wanted to do this, I had for a while. But I never imagined it would be this hard.
As my thoughts continued to take control the door slammed open out of nowhere. I had my eyes closed so I inhaled the scent of who it was. "Edward," I whispered through the dark room.
"I woke Nessie. But she refuses to get up," Edward said, annoyed.
I opened my eyes and was dazzled by Edwards's beautiful face. I slowly tossed the comforter aside and with vampire speed found my way to the other side of the room. "I got it," I said, walking into the other room to wake Renessme.
All that was left in the house were our beds. I walked into Ness's room and shook her. "Two minutes," she said in her sleep
I wished, at that moment, that I hadn't unplugged and packed away the alarm clock. But I had. So the only thing I could possibly do was find another loud noise. I growled furiously.
Nessie shot up in bed and Edward was immediately by my side. "What happened?" he gasped.
"It's just a little trick to wake her up," I answered, smirking slightly.
Nessie's breathing slowly went back to normal. "Where's Jake?" she asked.
"He'll be here soon," I answered. "He is finishing with his packing."
Although she was only fifteen Ness was now fully grown and beautiful. Her curly hair went just past her shoulders. Her eyes were beautiful and brown. She mostly hunted like we did, but every once and a while she would eat normal food.
Nessie sniffed the air. "I'm hungry," she muttered.
"It's going to be a long drive so go hunt."
"Won't we stop at all?" Nessie asked.
"It's about a twenty hour drive so I'm sure you and Jake will need to stop. And you guys might get hungry. And the rest of us just might feel like talking. So there are ten planned stops. But we can stop if Jake has to go to the bathroom at any other time."
"Which means we'll be stopping a lot," Ness concluded. "But wait, don't we drive like really fast?"
"It will still be like a fourteen hour drive."
Ness nodded and stood up and thought something at Edward before walking out the front door of the cabin. "She's going hunting," Edward explained.
"Good to know," I smiled, but Edward quickly caught the bit of pain that my eyes held.
"What is it?" he asked.
"We are just leaving without telling Charlie or Renee."
All we were leaving them were notes saying that I loved them but I had to leave. Edward put his arms around my waist and hugged me to his chest. "It's going to be okay," he assured me.
After a moment I leaned back against him and said, "I know."
Suddenly the front door burst open and Emmet came bursting through it. A second later he was next to us. "Emmet you know there's a thing called knocking," I said pulling away from Edward's grasp.
"Yeah," Emmet said, waiting for the point.
I opened my mouth to tell him that it was really annoying when he kept bursting through the front door, and usually at the worst moments. But explaining things to Emmet was about as easy as teaching a pig to fly. "Never mind," I muttered. Emmet moved his head to the side and looked at me strangely. "What?" I asked.
"Are you guys coming or not? Alice put the letter in Charlie's mailbox, and mailed the other to Renee. Let's go," he whined.
I sighed and picked up Nessie's bed with no trouble at all. Edward went into the other room to get our bed. "Can you take this outside?" I asked Emmet as I tossed the bed at him.
He was surprised but he caught it. I walked out of the room and said quietly, "Ready to go Edward?" knowing he would hear me.
Edward was at my side in an instant, holding the bed. "Ready," he said, and kissed my cheek.
All of a sudden Nessie's bed went flying through the wall. I turned around and snarled and bent down into a crouch when I realized that Emmet was the cause. Edward kept his cool but I heard a low growl forming in his chest. "You said you wanted it out front," Emmet reminded me.
"That's not what I meant!" I growled.
Edward grabbed my arm. "It's not worth it," he reminded me.
I took a deep, unneeded breath and stood up, still glaring at Emmet. "You're moving out anyway," Emmet fought.
"What if we ever come back here?"
Edward's face turned to one of pain and I came to a realization. I pushed my shield away and thought, we are never coming back are we?
"I thought you knew," Edward whispered.
"I thought maybe after like a hundred years or something there would be a chance."
"The cottage probably wouldn't even last that long," Emmet reminded me.
I turned and snarled again. Edward grabbed my wrist with the hand that wasn't holding the bed and we walked through the hole in the wall that Emmet created. I stopped before we left for good and patted the brick wall of the house. "Bye," I whispered.
Edward looked at me strangely and I just shook my head. Edward walked away and put the bed in the moving van. I grabbed Ness's bed and followed after him. Suddenly I felt someone's presence next to me. I looked over and saw the pixie staring back. "Hi Alice."
"Bella! Can you believe were moving today? Can you believe it? Aren't you excited? Are you nervous? Upset? Afraid? What is it? What's wrong? Why won't you answer any of my questions?" she went on in vampire speed.
I quickly clasped my hand over her mouth. "Because you won't let me speak."
Alice licked the inside of my hand and I shrieked. "Gross! What's wrong with you?"
Out of nowhere we were interrupted by a loud, "EMMET!"
Edward broke into a fit of laughter beside me. Alice's stare went blank before she dropped down laughing. Jasper came running outside. "Too much emotion!" he cried, falling to the ground. "Why is Rose angry? Why is Bella annoyed? Why are Alice and Edward in hysterics? And why is Emmet scared for his life?"
Jasper started screaming and running like he was scared. He then fell to the ground laughing. That wore off quickly and he walked over and punched Emmet across the face. The emotions were spinning wildly through him and he was going crazy. "Ouch!" Emmet screamed, shaking his face a little.
"What is your problem?" Jasper screamed at him, very annoyed.
I noticed Jacob come up behind me confused and the look hit Jasper too. Then Ness came up and ran and jumped onto him. "Jakey!" she said, excitedly.
The annoyance in me just got worse. Nessie was kissing Jake's face all over. Jasper ran up to Alice and said, "Hey babe." Ness's emotions were rubbing off on him.
Suddenly he screamed and fell to the ground hugging his knees and dry sobbing. I felt bad for him. "Everybody enough!" I shrieked.
Alice and Edward slowly stopped laughing. Alice stood up. Emmet took a deep and unneeded breath. Rose came outside with green hair and I gasped. Ness got down and stood next to Jacob. Everyone became silent. The only sound left was Jasper's dry sobbing. Alice walked over to him and bent down next to him and whispered, "Shh" while holding him. "It's okay," she soothed.
Except for Alice and Jasper everyone was staring at me. "What is going on?" I finally asked calmly.
Rosalie walked up slowly to Emmet and when she got close enough she jumped him and pinned him to the ground, growling. "What is happening?" I repeated.
"Why is blondie green?" Jake asked from behind me.
Edward walked in between everyone and finally explained to those who didn't understand. "Rose asked Emmet to pack her green hair dye and put the new bottle of shampoo in the shower so she could shower this morning before we left. He mixed up the two bottles because he was playing his PSP while he was walking and Rose's hair is now green."
"And Emmet is now dead!" Rose yelled.
I snickered quietly. Rosalie's death glare turned to me. "Sorry," I whispered.
"Gees, why are you so angry?" Jake questioned. "Just go wash it out."
Rose jumped off of Emmet. "It's permanent!" she shrieked. "I don't have time to re dye it at three in the morning when we are about to leave and probably never come back!"
I felt a pang of sadness at that. Edward noticed my expression and put his hand on my shoulder softly.
"Why would you have green hair dye anyway?" Jake questioned.
Emmet snickered to himself reliving the memory that Rose was about to describe. She walked over and growled at him, not bothering to explain to Jake.
"Halloween," Alice whispered.
"Five years ago," I added.
"How is that hair stuff still good?" Jake asked. Rose ran her fingers through her hair. "Oh my gosh!" Jake yelled. "Your hair is falling out!"
Rose shrieked and Jake broke into a fit of laughter. She tackled him to the ground as a punishment for his little joke. They were rolling around and snarling. Jake's hands started shaking and I knew he was about to morph. Suddenly Jasper got himself together and a wave of calmness was sent through us. Rose stood up slowly and Jake lay on the ground breathing. "Jasper," Rosalie said. "Could you please let me be angry again so I can hurt that mutt?"
Nessie bent down to help Jake up. Emmet put his arm around Rosalie but she inched away. Jasper slowly stood up and said, "Well that was rather awkward" sounding like a gentleman.
After a moment Rosalie gained back her anger and started growling at Jacob. Jacob rolled his eyes and kicked dirt at her.
"Rosalie, Jacob enough!" Edward yelled.
Jake growled at both of them. "Back off bed head!" Jake yelled.
Edward growled back. Nessie growled at both of them for fighting, which she hated when they did. "Guys," Alice tried to calm them down.
Jake growled at her and she growled at him. Jasper started growling because he was feeling their emotions. Jacob suddenly got so angry he ripped off his shirt. "Esme!" I shrieked.
Esme was in front of us the next second. "What is going on?" she screamed in her motherly tone. Everyone got quiet and looked at her. "Rosalie what happened to your hair?"
Nessie walked up to her and touched her hand to Esme's arm, transferring her thoughts to her. "Oh," Esme whispered. "For goodness sakes. We are moving today! Can you guys just get along?"
"Sorry," we all said.
"Jacob where is your shirt?"Esme asked.
"I ripped it off so it wouldn't get ruined if I morphed…
Jake trailed off staring at the shreds of fabric around him. Ness patted his back. "Alright," Esme sighed. "Rose you can dye your hair blond when we get there."
Rose wanted her hair back to normal by now. "But…
"No buts. And Jacob go get a new shirt."
Jake nodded and walked away. "I'll be back," Jake said, running to his car.
Nessie nodded and waited impatiently.
"Jasper," Esme said. "Are you alright?"
Jasper nodded. "Too many emotions," he said.
Esme nodded, sweetly. "Alright," she sighed. "Let's get going."
She went to her car. I went to my car that Edward forced upon me. Jake and Nessie went in Jakes. Since Nessie was only technically fifteen we hadn't gotten her a car yet. Rosalie took her BMW. Japer and Alice took her Porsche. Emmet recently drove his car off a cliff thinking that he couldn't get hurt from it, but he forgot that the jeep could. The jeep burst into flames at the bottom and nearly burned Emmet to death. He bought a new jeep online from a dealership in Los Angeles (where we were moving) and would pick it up when we got there. So he was going to drive in Rosalie's car.
I got into my car and put on my sunglasses even though I didn't need them. They just made me look cool. I was about to drive Emmet walked up and knocked on my window. I rolled it down. "Yes?" I asked.
Emmet looked at me sheepishly. "Rose said that she has less of a chance of killing me if we don't drive together for a few hours. So she said to try and find another ride until after maybe a few stops. So I decided I would have just as much fun if I drove with my favorite sister."Emmet flashed a smile.
"Did Alice already say no?"
"Yes."
I thought for a moment. A car ride with Emmet would be horrible. He would drive me bizarre. "No," I said and was about to pull away.
"!" Emmet shrieked at the top of his lungs.
He was going to wake people up and ruin everything. "Fine!" I stopped him.
"Awesome!" Emmet yelled.
He got into the passenger seat and I hit my head against the steering wheel. "But get your ass in the back."
Emmet sighed and climbed into the backseat. A whole car ride with Emmet?
Why me?
