(Hmm. We'll make this rp in the middle of Eclipse-ish)
The roar of the rusty red truck echoed along the countryside. You could swear it was a thunderstorm coming up from the audio massacre, but the usually cloudy Forks was hitting a clearing in the sky. The mist, drizzling rain, and humidity were seeping away this Saturday afternoon, and being replaced by a rare blue sky and blinding sun. But even this couldn't cheer up Bella Swan. She loved sunny weather, and it was rare to see it now, but her thoughts couldn't be interrupted with weather nonsense. She stepped harder on the gas pedal, pushing her truck to reach its near maximum of fifty miles an hour. She wanted to get to the Cullens' house. And fast.
Yes, the only thing on Bella's mind was him. She needed him, to see, to hug, to talk, to breathe. When he was away from her for long, she became anxious, and the thoughts of his loss the year previous swept over her. And that she couldn't bare again. It was like a slow suicide. So she woke up, took a human moment (or two) and stumbled out the door, eager to see him as soon as possible. She knew he had to go hunting at some point, otherwise he looked grumpy when he was thirsty. But she still became anxious when he left for those few hours in the night. Edward had promised her he'd return in the morning, and that she could meet him at his house.
Bella slowed the old truck down, and slowly turned left onto the almost hidden driveway. She noticed the truck's engine was heating up, and made sure to keep it at a steady slow pace. Stupid, ancient vehicle. Maybe she could convince Jacob to put a new motor in...one that wasn't so...ancient. Yeah, that's a perfect vision, Bella riding a pimped out red truck with leopard print seats and tricked out tires... haha.
Jacob...
“I think I might have been wrong before, you know, about not being able to be friends. Maybe we could manage it, on my side of the line. Come see me.”
Bella had her thoughts jumbled all last night and in the morning. She so desperately wanted to still stay friends with Jake. He had glued her heart back together when no one else could. He had made her feel life again when the darkness tried to empower. But if she saw him now, what would Edward think?
The red truck pulled up to the beautiful white mansion. Bella parked by the entrance, and stepped out of the truck. Curiously, she looked to the garage. It was missing the volvo. Damn. But Bella decided it was best to stay and visit the family. Besides, they must have heard her and the truck a mile away. Either that or Alice knew she'd be coming. Bella could sit and chat with everyone until Edward got home. She loved the Cullens. Well, Rosalie was...borderline loved.
Bella walked to the giant oak doors and knocked once. And somebody answered.

"You're never going to win, I don't know why you think you can!" Emmett sat in his video game chair, complete with surround sound speakers and vibration feature laughing into a headseat that was strapped across his head. In his hands was a game controller that resembled a shot gun, which he was aiming at the 52 inch plasma in front of him. The overwhelming sunshine outside had ruined his day, so he chose to pass the time playing Extreme Deer Hunter on X-Box Live.
"OH! You lose, little buddy! I think I hear your mama calling...oh, that is her? Have fun at summer camp, okay, later." He pulled off the headphones when he heard a thunderous roar from the driveway. "Wonder who that could be?" He pushed past Bella on his way to the porch and looked around. "Oh, it's just you. I thought the circus had come to town. I swore I heard an elephant out here, but it was just your truck. So what brings you by?" He smirked and walked back inside.

Emmett pushed Bella aside as he took two long and graceful strides past her, looked around, then turned back. Bella snorted at his comment. "Circus and elephants? You'd think you've lived so long those would get tiring now." Bella smirked. "Or do you need a new wrestling challenge?" She quirked her eyebrow up, and sized up Emmett.
"You know, elephants are much larger than bears. I dunno if you could handle it..." She glanced over his chiseled forearms. "Nah."
Bella chuckled and turned to the front door, walking into the main hall behind him, her footsteps echoing off the marble walls. "I'm here because Edward was suppose to be back from hunting by now. Do you know where he is?" Bella's voice went up a pitch and a half. She noted mentally that Emmett was usually hunting with Edward, and if Emmett was here and not there...Then who was Edward with? Bella prayed Emmett might know when he was trekking back. But knowing him he'd probably amuse himself by withholding this information and making her squirm with anxiety.
Bella began to bite her thumb nail, as she took off her sweater to hang up in the closet. It was a bit awkward to be alone with Emmett, even though she joked around with him, he was almost like her big brother. If only his on and off wife would be so kind. "So do you know where Edward is?"

Emmett scratched his head and flopped onto the cushy black leather sofa with a wireless controller in his enormous hands. He held another out for Bella as a good will gesture. "I could handle an elephant. That actually sounds like fun. You shouldn't give me ideas like that!" He laughed loudly and threw his head back. "Come on, take it. We can be on the same team so I don't completely whoop you on the first try."
He started the game, which had something to do with chasing wildlife through the forest and blasting it apart with a rifle. "Edward likes this game, but he gets bored with it after a while. I went hunting last night, so he went off this morning without me." He smirked and clicked the pretend rifle in his arms. "Aren't you gonna play? Just hit that red button and aim for the ones with antlers." He laughed and began shooting at the animals running across the screen. Bella wanted to know where her Edward was, but Emmett wanted to have some fun first. Details were for boring people who never had fun, like the two of them. "Don't worry about him. He's in good hands. AH! Missed him!"

Bella was handed a vibrating controller as she sat herself down on the cushy black leather couch beside Emmett. She watched as he chased down wildlife and blew of their limbs. Ohh great. Video game blood and gore. She watched as the animals bled everywhere while Emmett continued on his killing spree. Bella's mouth dried up, and she instinctively held her hand to her stomach as it churned. Even 2-D blood could get to her. She glanced away for a couple moments, tried looking back, then had to turn away again.
"No, that's okay. I'm not really up for playing right now.." Bella's face turned a tinge paler than normal.
"In good hands?" She repeated. "Is he out with Carlisle? Esme?" Bella glanced around the large living room. She wondered if Rosalie would hate her more knowing she was spending time with Emmett. But he was a jerk to withhold the details. Stupid vampires and they're stupid fun. She watched as Emmett aimed at a deer's head. Bella turned away quickly, her mouth going a bit dry.

Emmett finished the level and noticed Bella's face from the corner of his eye. "Oh, that was too much? Edward wasn't kidding about your weak stomach. Let's try this." He went to the entertainment center and flipped a few switches. He left the pretend shotgun by the Xbox and brought over two white plastic steering wheels.
"Mario Kart! This is fun. You drive like it's a real car and throw mushrooms and stars at people. Very benign. Unless mushrooms and stars make you all queasy too?" He smirked and sat back down.
"Carlisle is at work, I think. The last time I saw Rose or Esme they were planning a shopping trip, but that was ages ago. I thought he would have been back by now, too. Hrrm. Okay, start your engine. Hit this button, here. That's the gas. Now these little karts go faster than your pickup out there, so don't be alarmed. It's only a game." He laughed loudly. Emmett could move from one subject to another as easily as a kid could get distracted by something shiny. It was a talent of his.

Alice entered as Emmett's booming laughter filled the room. "Is Emmett bothering you, Bella?" She quietly quietly leaned against the door frame with a grin. "If your waiting for Edward he won't be back for a while. He's hunting, left this morning. But we can still hang out!" Alice's exuberant voice filled the room quickly.
Alice left the door and sat beside Bella on the couch, crossing her legs. "Emmett, do you have a life outside of videogames and Rosalie?" a small giggle escaped from Alice's throat.

Emmett stuck his tounge out at Alice and started the game for himself. He was disspointed she had ruined his fun by telling Bella where Edward had gone.
"I'm a man. All I need is a good woman to sit with me and watch me shoot things and drive go-karts around a track. What more is there in life?" He laughed and crashed his kart into a wall. "Aww! That was so rigged."

Alice smirked as Emmett got a little agrivated. She was good at those type of things, especialy to Edward, he was the easiest.
Alice rolled her eyes as Emmett told her what he "needed". "Yes Emmett there is a lot more to life than that. It's just you brawn is hiding it. And Rose dosn't just sit with you. No one- Oh wait, No woman could just sit with you Emmett..." Her lips curled up into a smirk. "Of course Bella and I have a lot better taste." Alice burst into her windchime giggle.

Emmett shook his head at the girls and tried to concentrate on his driving skills. "ha ha." he answered dryly. "Girls can't get enough of me. I look a heck of a lot better than those toothpicks you guys are dating.And Rose does too sit with me, when she's just done her makeup and dosent want to smudge it up."

The small town of Forks didn't seem that small as he neared the 'welcoming' sign, "Welcome to Forks, population..." Sean didn't care what the population was. Generally, vampires choose cities by the amount of people, in other words, the amount of humans they could remove without too much notice. He sighed in remembrance of his old home; Volterra, where his 'dark' family has, he turned his head as if to ward off these demons of his past and floored the gas pedal, as he entered the town. He squinted, even though it wasn't too sunny he still hadn't been in daylight often. Back at home, he only went out at night, and read books during the day. His room was located in the depths of the 'royal palace' and was far from from the rest of the family. Sean hoped that Alice, that was her name, Alice hadn't seen him coming, though some small part of him hoped she knew that he wasn't a danger to Bella, and the rest of the Cullens. Sean was turned at an age Aro told him was too early though Alec and Jane were living proof that he didn't really believe it himself, probably just an attempt to comfort him. Aro did that a lot, even in his supernatural way it was warm, he still grew fond of the old vampire. Sean pasted by the high school where he would be attending shortly if the Cullen's accepted him, though if they didn't was a thought he couldn't imagine. He had left Aro and his family quickly but was stopped by Demetri whom Sean quickly dealt a great blow to his chest and left the compound during the day, avoiding mortal attention. He never wanted to return, or at least not without the Cullens. He looked up at the sky for a brief moment, and though of what he would be feeding on, what animals were in large quantities around here. He also hoped that, Carlisle would perhaps lend him a few pints of blood to subside the conversion to the 'vegetarian' life style that the entire family followed. Sean had memorized the names of all of the Cullens and was quickly reciting them as he drove out of Forks and towards the Cullen Home. "Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Bella, Alice, Jasper, Emmet and Rosalie" Sean was civilized, even for a vampire, though not as pure as Carlisle, he wished he was but the past cannot be rewritten. He knew his limitations, to a certain extent on how long he could go without blood, though the scent still was intoxicating, bewitching and dragged him to the site of the source. Even though he had drunk before coming he still looked sickly even for a vampire, that was one of the characteristics which made it "easy to hunt" said Aro one evening. If he chose to kill humans, they would think he is a sickly teenager who needs assistance, they would call into his trap. In ways, that was where is ability sources came from, as a child he was always sickly and that feature was carried on in vampirism and his power surfaced, hypnotism was his ability, powerful but resistible, but only to the strongest minds.

Bella's face resumed its normal colouring when she heard the wind chime voice of Alice drift towards her. She watched as she pranced gracefully into the room. Bella moved over to give Alice some space to sit on the couch.
"Hello Alice. He left this morning? Oh.." Bella frowned slightly. She hated being away from him, and he promised to return as soon as possible. But the presence of her future family gave her enough tranquility for the time being. After all, Emmett and Alice were like her brother and sister, and she wanted to spend the rest of eternity with them and Edward. She loved them. Even when they played animal-killing-kart-driving games and insulted her "toothpick" boyfriend.
"Girls can't get enough of me."
Bella snorted, and realized a bit too late she did it aloud and tried to cover it up with a cough.

Alice rolled her eyes. "Of course, but thats onlt when it has something to do with her make up otherwise your not just 'sitting'" Her giggle filled the room again. "And Yes, Bella he won't be home far awhile. I know I'm not allowed-" Alices voice trailed off and her eyes went blank, starring off into space. Alice stared to shake her head and curled up. Something was obviously wrong.

Sean turned the bend, and released the gas pedal to stop at a stop sign, "Damn, I need to remember where the house is" he said with a look of subtle confusion. He closed his eyes to remember the words that Aro had told him so many, many, years ago, "Apparently, my dear friend Carlisle has built a home outside of the city," and for another few minutes in described the entire approach and where to find the pathway in. He drove forwards and made some elaborate turns with his BMW motorcycle till he came into the area he though the path was. He stopped at the pathway and without stopping he entered, twisting through the path. He stopped as he saw the house and wait to hear any commotion inside to knock on the door. Alice, as Aro put it, "is a fantastic pixie".. Sean grimaced slightly, he adored his 'dark' father terribly. He waited.

Uggh. Mental images of Emmett and Rosalie not just "sitting" entered Bella's mind. "I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit." She snorted, smirking in Emmett's direction. Alice's sentence was interrupted. "You're not allowed what?" She turned to face Alice's direction again, and her eyes widened in horror. Bella stood up immediately, and sprinted across the room to Alice's side. "What? What's the matter? EMMETT!" Bella beckoned for him to aide her. Alice just stayed in her trance, Bella trying to keep her shoulders steady and her body from falling over. "Emmett! I think she's having a vision!" Bella tried to copy what she saw Jasper do in these situations. "Tell me what you see, Alice. What do you see?"
