Secrets (Emmett Cullen Twilight fanfic)

Chapter 24

"Well how did you do it before?" Carlisle pressed starting to lose patience. Him and Nichole had been practicing for hours but nothing had been happening. Only some very constipated looks of concentration from Nichole.

"I don't know! I just didn't want to be in the room while everyone was looking at me!" Nichole pulled the roots of her hair in frustration.

"Let's just take a break." Carlisle sighed standing from the couch. He made his way out of the room leaving Nichole sitting alone. She closed her eyes taking a deep breath. She saw her self disappearing, wrapping her self in an invisibility cloak like Harry Potter did.

She opened her eyes frowning, her body was still there but she felt different. Lighter if that was possible. "Hey how'd training go.... Nichole?" Emmett walked in the living room happily before realizing it was empty. He looked around before shrugging and turning to leave.

Nichole stood from the couch creeping up behind Emmett who was walking up the stairs. She brushed her fingers on the back of his neck making Emmett turn around faster than she expected. Emmett swung his arms around trying to capture her but she ducked out of the way each time. Nichole blew air onto his neck then pressing herself up to the wall. Like before Emmett whipped around trying to catch her but failed again.

"Nichole this isn't funny." He growled.

"I don't know it looks pretty amusing." Edward laughed leaning against the wall down the hall. Nichole crept up to Edward lightly brushing his left cheek. She didn't move as he swung his arms to the other side of his body exposing his back to her. Blowing air onto his neck also she side stepped out of the way as he too swung his arms around looking for her.

"You're right. It is amusing to watch." Emmett cackled full of glee.

"Nichole we know you're here." Edward hissed annoyed.

Nichole imagined her cloak coming off her body, instantly feeling heavier, more dense. Emmett and Edward looked at her for a moment then lunging simultaneously at her. Nichole dashed off down the hall trying to feel light again. She tried putting the cloak back on but in wasn't working.

She burst into Carlisle's study interrupting the quite tranquility in the room. Carlisle looked up from his papers as Nichole walked in quickly shutting the door behind her.

"I um. I think I figured it out." Nichole said easily. She tried again this time focusing more on the lightness she left earlier.

Emmett and Edward rushed into the room looking around. "Oh I'm sorry. We were looking for Nichole. Have you seen her?" Emmett hastily asked.

"I just saw her a minute ago. You're to late, I suppose she has already left when you rushed in." Carlisle shrugged returning to his paperwork.

"Dammit." Emmett muttered. Him and Edward left the room searching the house again. Nichole had wandered behind them as they went room to room.

"Remind me to never play hide and seek with her." Edward sighed walking into his room.

Emmett walked to his wondering we'd Nichole actually was. He wasn't entirely ready for a body to leap onto his back. Legs and arms curled around him, a giggle escaping Nichole's lips.

"I've been looking for you." Emmett grinned.

"I was following you." Nichole grinned back. Emmett lumbered into their room still carrying Nichole on his back. He swung her around so they could face each other but he didn't let go of her.

"You're a little shit you know that?" Emmett rested his forehead on Nichole's.

"Then you're a bigger one."

"I think you're both shits now come on or we'll miss the blood moon!" Jasper urged from the door way.

Nichole shifted her self back onto Emmett's back kicking his leg softly. "Giddy up."

"I'm not a horse." Emmett grumbled.

"Alright fine. Mush!"

Emmett sighed in defeat running through the house. The cool crisp summer air smelt of flowers and grass but no one really minded. The Cullens gathered outside looking up at the moon. The moon glowed reddish-orange against the dark night sky. The shadows on the moon could be been easily with the temporary coloring on it.

Emmett wrapped his arms around Nichole holding her against him. "I don't know what glows more. Nichole's eyes or the moon." Alice mused. They could hear the wolves howling in the distance.

"It looks like we aren't the only ones enjoying the view." Rose rolled her eyes.

The glow of the moon matched the glow of Nichole's eyes, which was like looking in a mirror at her own eyes.  The red in Nichole's eyes unnerved the Cullens but they didn't say a thing. Because in time they would be gold like theirs, all they had to do was enjoy life as it was.
