-1Moonlit Skies

A/N This is Eclipse from Emmett's point of view. I've always wanted to write an Emmett story, and I thought Eclipse would be interesting! Emmett's not really involved with the first few chapters of Eclipse so this first chapter is set at the Cullen's house at the start of Eclipse. The rest of the chapters will be based more on actual events that we know happen in Eclipse. This is just to introduce the story.

Disclaimer - I don't own the Twilight Series or the characters. The amazing Stephenie Meyer does. If I did, Breaking Dawn, and ten more sequels would be out by now.

Chapter One - Burning Desire

It was a peaceful evening at home. Everyone seemed at ease and the atmosphere was calm and content. Esme was sitting quietly in her chair sewing up an unsightly tear in one of Carlisle's cushions. I looked to the floor guiltily, remembering how I had torn the cushion in my most recent wrestling match with Jasper. Esme had not been pleased. It was an enormous rip and it had been Carlisle's favourite cushion, specially imported from his beloved London. Esme hadn't stayed angry for long though, she never did; she simply scolded me and then made me and Jasper promise that next time we wrestle we move the cushions first.

Carlisle was busy at the table, filling in complicated looking forms concerning his patients at the hospital. H

He had tried to explain it to me once but I still never really grasped it and the forms still looked as alien as ever to me. I think Edward understood them, having been to medical school twice but I never really cared enough to bother getting my head round Carlisle's forms. Every now and then Carlisle would glance up and smile at Esme sitting opposite me.

Even Alice was quiet, not chatting away animatedly like she usually did. If you didn't know she couldn't have possibly been, you'd have thought her fast asleep, with her eyes closed and her head rested on Jasper's chest. Jasper was silent too, stroking her hair gently.

This was starting to get boring; everything was far too quiet, too tame. Maybe I should challenge Jasper to a wrestling match, or have a competition on my new PS3 perhaps.

Just at that moment, as I was coming to the end of my list of more interesting things to do, Rosalie entered the room. Her long blonde hair was dripping down her slender back and she was clad only in a towel. I watched with eager eyes as she flounced up to me and perched herself delicately on the arm of my chair, showering everyone with water as she walked.

Jasper raised his head, sensing my incontrollable lust and rolled his eyes. I stuck my tongue out at him. I then rose to my feet, pulling Rose along, with the intentions of seeking some privacy in our bedroom. I was busy picturing all the glorious things me and Rose were on the verge of doing when Alice raised her head of Jasper's chest and spoke and spoke.

"Edward's home form Bella's, well he will be in 5, 4, 3, 2, -"

Sure enough we heard the key in the lock and shortly after Edward came round the door.

"How's Bella?" Alice asked immediately before Edward had a chance to speak.

"Lovely as ever" Edward said smiling, his expression then changed "and by the way Emmett that's disgusting, please warn me when your thoughts are going to be that perverted and I'll try to block them out."

I grinned at him.

"Just because you and Bella don't get any action, doesn't mean you have to take it out on me and Rose"

Edward narrowed his eyes, and attempted to rugby tackled me to the floor. His superior speed taking advantage of me, I fell to the ground, but I didn't stay there long. Breaking his grasp on me, I twisted and using my unbeatable strength, forced Edward into a headlock. As I wrestled him to the ground, Esme interrupted.

"Edward, Emmett that's enough." Esme scolded gently.

"Listen to your mother boys." Carlisle said, raising his head from his endless pile of papers. He then averted his eyes to my feet.

I glanced down to where Carlisle's eyes rested. A pile of feathers lay at my feet. The destroyed cushion lay limp next to it.

Esme sighed and gathered up the savaged cushion and its feathers. They were then added to her pile of mending.

Me and Edward hung our heads in shame and sat down next to each other.

"My thoughts may be perverted Edward, but at least I don't have to go to school tomorrow" I said "I have a whole year to do whatever I please while I pretend to be at college!"

"For your information, I like school." Edward said coolly.

"Err what?" I asked dumbfounded. How could anyone possibly like school, especially when you had completed it tens of times before?

"Bella is at school." Edward said simply.

It all made sense now; Edward loved Bella more than anything else.

"Ugh" Rosalie spat, venom in her voice, "you care too much about that silly little human girl."

"Rose" I warned. Edward didn't take well to insults concerning Bella. Rose needed to get over her envy for Bella's humanity, and just accept that Bella was going to "choose wrong" as Rose put it.

Rose just ignored me and stalked out of the room, her hair swishing behind her. Damn, it seemed like my planned bedroom activities were cancelled. Rose looked really pissed off.

I sighed, immediately wishing I hadn't offended her. Rose took a long time to get over her moods, which were incredibly frequent. Maybe I could persuade Jasper to tweak her emotions a bit? It wouldn't do any harm really.

I got up, and went over to jasper, only to find Alice was occupying the only space available. I removed her, placed her on the floor at Jaspers feet, and sat down in the now empty space next to Jasper.

"Umm, Excuse me??" Alice said sounding slightly put out. I ignored her and turned to Jasper, who was glaring at me with narrowed eyes.

"So Jazzy" I said casually, my voice as smooth as silk "I was wondering if you could help me out of a tight situation, if you know what I mean"

Jasper looked thoughtful for a spit second and then turned back to answer me.

"First, you replace my wife back next to me, exactly where she was before. Second, apologise for said action. Then I may even consider helping you, though I sincerely doubt it."

Hastily I picked Alice off the floor and placed her on Jasper's lap.

"Sorry Alice!" I said, grinning widely. "Won't happen again!"

"It better not" Jasper growled "Now, what do you want?"

I paused pondering how to phrase my favour.

"Well, I know that you noticed how lusty I am tonight. I haven't had any action since yesterday! That was a whole twenty four hours ago…" I looked at Jasper desperately, seeing if he understood my situation.

"So basically you want me to make Rose burning with desire for you?"

"Yeah, that's one way of putting it" I eyed Jasper pleadingly, putting on my best puppy dog eyes. Jasper simply sat there, appearing to be in great thought. Jasper swivelled round on his chair to face me, and then looked me straight in the eyes.

"What do I get out of it?"

I thought about this. What could you give a vampire who already had everything? Then I found it, the thing every man wanted.

"I will give you, completely free of charge and fully inclusive…" I paused dramatically. "A night with Rosalie"

Jasper sat there dumbfounded, staring at me like I was crazy. Alice too had stopped painting her nails to stare at me. Their reactions were not what I had expected. Didn't everyone want a night with rose?

I voiced my opinion aloud: "Isn't that what every red blooded man wants?"

Jasper didn't look amused, neither did anyone else. In fact they all looked slightly disgusted.

Jasper sighed then said "Number one, we are NOT red blooded. Number two, I'm happily married and finally number three, isn't giving Rosalie away like that a bit…" Jasper paused, searching for the right word "Ermm, controlling?"

"What? Nah she wouldn't mind. She's always telling me I'm boring and how she's going to go and get herself a new man if I'm not careful"

Surprisingly Carlisle spoke up. "She doesn't mean it though Emmett. She only says that to wind you up, you know that." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Fine then." I scowled at them "I'm going to play my PS3 instead then, seeing as you won't help me" I stormed out of the room, and into my bedroom switching on my new PS3 as I went. I slumped onto the bed, already my anger was fading. I never stay angry for long, it's against my nature.

I could hear voices downstairs, and footsteps. I couldn't quite make out what they were saying though; the sound was muffled by the sound of the constant sheet of rain on the window. I sighed, rolling over onto my back; I wasn't in the mood for Playstation. I lay there quietly, listening to the soft pitter patter of the rain against the glass wall. It always rained here, always the sound of the wind whistling through the trees, always the sound of the water hitting leaves.

I could hear footsteps again. Closer this time, coming up the stairs. A split second later Alice and Jasper burst into the room.

"Hey Emmett, no luck with Rose then?" Jasper asked, attempting to sound sympathetic.

I scowled.

"Well, we'll be seeing you, Jasper and I are off to have some fun" Alice said, smiling evilly at me. I couldn't believe she was still irritated about the whole chair incident. I hadn't done it maliciously and I'd put her on the floor fairly gently.

"Thanks for rubbing it in Alice." I said.

Still grinning, she took Jasper's hand and danced out of the room.

I was getting back to some serious moping about my situation, when I heard the door opening again. Couldn't a guy get any peace around here? I was about to throw my pillow at the doorway when I saw who it was.

Rosalie stood in the doorway, her now dry hair draping over her shoulders in perfectly placed waves, falling almost to her waist. I tore my eyes away from her beautiful face to take in her outfit. Clad entirely in red and black, her corset hugged her body in all the right places. Drooling I stood up and waited while she crossed the room. Looked like the night wasn't lost after all…

A/N Please review, it really makes my day! constructive criticism is welcomed I'd love it if you'd let me know how you feel about how I've written Emmett. I've tried to keep him as in character as possible, but this being the first time I've tried his point of view, you can never be sure!
