Expect The Unexpected

The Game

Chapter 23 - The Game

Going through Carlisle's study, I grabbed a book oft the shelf. As I got settled in the open living room, Alice came running over to me. "Bella, wanna play baseball with my family?"

"Sure?"

"Great!" She said before running off.

Rolling my eyes I stood up. Straitening my skirt, I made my way toward the front door. I was half was across the lawn when I heard someone say, "Where do you think you're going?"

"Home, to get changed."

"On your own?"

"Yes on my own, gotta problem with that?" I said turning to face Edward.

"Y...No."

"Sure, you just can't handle the fact that I'm fine on my own, and that I'm more than just a girly girl like your 'sisters'. The fact that I have the guts to do this!" I yelled and slapped him, but no to hard. I took my shoes off and took off running. As soon as I was far enough away I shifted to a falcon and made my way back home.

I changed into a pair of comfortable jeans, a white long sleeved shirt, my leather jacket, some white sneakers, plus my sunglasses (never know what will happen), and grabbing a hat I made my way out side.

"What's with the leather jacket?" Edward asked as he got out of the jeep to open up my door.

"You could say it's a family thing." I smiled. If Damon were still alive I'm sure he would be wearing leather and be dressed all in black.

As we pulled put of the drive way it started to rain. The jeep made it's way out of town, and as we drove the rain lightened up. We came to a stop at the end of the road; the trees formed green walls on the three sides of the Jeep. The rain here was a mere drizzle, slowing every second, the sky brighter through the clouds.

"Okay, what now?" I asked as I got out of the humongous car.

"We run."

"As in I have to run?" I asked. I seriously didn't want to run like a human. If I have to run, I prefer to run at my usual speed.

"Well it would be easier for me to take you instead." I was about to respond when he suddenly threw my across his back, giving my a piggy back ride, running at an inhuman speed. Nothing compared to me though. I started to laugh in delight. I loved to run, but I couldn't right now, so I was fine with this.

When I finally got off him I started to spin around, wanting to just run off and enjoy the speed. I finally got a hold of myself and walked through the trees to see a wide, open field.

Alice and Jasper were throwing a baseball back and forth. Rosalie was sitting on a boulder talking to Emmett. Carlisle and Esme were holding hands talking on the other side of the field.

When they saw me, Emmett came over along with Carlisle and Esme. Rosalie just went over to Alice and Jasper.

"Squirt you made it!"Emmett ahouted obnoxiously.

"Don't call me Squirt!" He may be taller than me, but I'm not as short as Alice. "And of course I made it, I wouldn't want to miss out on vampire baseball." They smiled at me. I looked up to the sky and saw lighting flash across the sky.

"It's time." Alice said from across the field.

(I have no idea about Baseball, if anything is wrong please don't kill me)

Everyone, but Esme ran out onto the field. I walked with Esme up to home base.

"You're not going to play?" I asked, because if she wouldn't play then I would. But then I would blow my cover.

"No, I prefer to referee."

"She thinks we cheat!" Emmett yelled over to me.

"I know you cheat!" Esme said to Emmett.

It looked like they formed teams. Edward was far out in the left field, Carlisle stood between the first and second bases, and Alice held the ball, positioned on the spot that must have been the pitchers mound.

Emmett was swinging a metal baseball bat around. It was whistling silently in the air. Jasper was pumping up everyone, while Rose was just examining her perfect nails.

I looked up at the sky, at the same time as Alice, and saw a streak of lighting streak across the sky.

"It's time." The pixie said.

I soon saw why they needed the thunder. When Emmett hit the ball and it went flying, it sounded like thunder. Edward soon returned with the ball.

Then there was this time when Emmett and Edward both went after the ball, crashing into each other. It sounded like two boulders colliding.

After awhile Alice froze.

"What is it Alice?" Jasper asked.

"I didn't see them," she said. "They hears us playing and just decided to come."

Edward flashed to my side and said. "I'm so sorry Bella. I never wanted this to happen, I love you." He then kissed me. I stood still for a second before I pushed him away, fighting the urge to punch him.

I turned to see some familiar faces.
