I Promise

A/N: Chapter three edited. This one was harder to edit. It was just bad. But enjoy.

Bella's POV

They swam at full speed, so I couldn't see who was winning or losing, even if I could see things quickly. The irony.

After watching two blurs swim by, Alice got out of the lake first. I could see the water dripping from her hair. She was dripping wet. Rosalie gets out of the lake after her, her image the same. I laughed. They were so wet. Both glared at me and I ran behind Emmett.

"Can't hurt me!" I exclaimed from behind my brother.

"Yeah, whatever," Alice said, as she gave Rosalie her clothes back. Both changed quickly and were ready to go in a matter of seconds.

"Fighting time," Jasper said smiling, preparing for the next part of the games.

We went to a clearing. It was a great place to fight. It was like a circle. Emmett and Jasper went to the middle. Edward, Alice, and Rosalie sat on the ground. I went to a tree, and climbed to sit on one of the branches.

Jasper ran to Emmett, but Emmett pushed him back. Jasper got back up and pushed Emmett down. They started fighting faster and stronger. I watched excitedly.

They kept flipping each other. I watched as Emmett grabbed Jasper and throw him into the forest.

"I win," Emmett said, a smirk on his face. I clap from where I was. My brother walks up to his wife and kisses her cheek.

Alice turned to us. "It's now a tie. This will be the tie breaker."

They started running. It was just Emmett and I. I jump off the tree and grin at my brother. He ran, grabbed me, and left. We were outside the forest.

"So I'm going to run around?" I asked Emmett.

"Yup."

He then put me down. I saw Edward ready to run. I went next to him.

"Ready. Set. Go!" Jasper said. I ran like my life depended on it. Edward was behind me. I reached the end and ran back. I did that three more times. I ended up winning.

"Finally! Edward lost!" Emmett shouted jumping as he hugged his wife. I grin, feeling the energy. It was contagious.

I laughed, as my brother and sister-in-law ran to me.

"So what now?" I asked, snuggling close to my brother.

"Truth or Dare!" Alice shouted.

Em grabbed me and ran back home.

"Put me down Emmy!" I shouted, struggling against him.

"Nope." He laughed.

Within seconds Emmett threw me on the couch.

"Hey!"

"Okay, Bella get in the circle," Alice told me. Everyone else was already in the circle. I sat in between Emmett and Jasper.

"I'll go first," Alice said, "Edward, truth or dare?"

"Dare," he said, his eyes on Alice.

"I dare you to uh?" She said, giving him a look.

Edward stood up and shook his head. "Oh no! I am not wearing girl clothes!"

"It's a dare," Alice told him, a smug look on her face, "And you have to wear them tomorrow at school."

I couldn't hold it. I started laughing. The other's resolves broke and they started to laugh as well.

"Bella, truth or dare?" Edward asked, turning his attention to me with a glare.

"Dare," I told him, not backing down.

"I dare you to order a pizza and eat it," he said, smirking as if he shut me up. He knew we didn't like it. He was just being an ass about it.

I stared at him.

"It's a dare," he said in a smug tone.

I sighed, and took out my phone. Edward gave me the number to order.

"Hello, this is Pizza Hut," the person on the other side said.

"Um, yeah, may I get a small pizza?" I asked.

"Yes, what type of toppings would you like?"

Emmett mouthed pepperoni to me. So I repeated it to the guy taking my order.

"What's the address?"

"Cullen Residence," I told him.

"Okay. I'll be there in thirty minutes."

"Okay, uh thank you."

"There, Bella, your turn," Edward said smiling.

"Ass," I muttered, "Jasper, truth or dare?"

"Dare," he said.

"I dare you to streak naked around town. Human speed."

His mouth hung open. I smirked. He got up and started taking off his clothes.

"Emmett make sure he does it," I said. I covered my eyes.

Ten minutes later Jasper and Emmett came back. Jasper was fully clothed.

"How was it?" I asked, my eyebrow raised and a smirk on my face..

"Fun," he told me sarcastically.

I laughed.

"Emmett, truth or dare?"

"Dare," he said as if it was obvious.

"I dare you tell Newton you love him," he told my brother.

Emmett took out his phone, not losing eye contact with Jasper. He dialed the number and put it on speaker.

"Hello?" Newton asked over the phone.

"Mike, it's Emmett Cullen," Emmett said, his voice filled with lust. I did not enjoy hearing that out of him.

"Emmett? What is it?" Mike asked confused.

"Mike, I love you! I've loved you since I moved here."

"How about Rosalie Hale?" Mike asked.

"She was just a cover up," he said.

Then Mike hung up. We all laughed, wondering what was going in Mike's head.

The doorbell rang. Edward looked at me.

"Oh shit," I muttered.

I went to open the door. A guy just stared at me.

"Hey, my pizza?" I asked, pointing to the box in his had.

The guy just blinked a few times before nodding. "Oh uh, here," he said. He gave it to me.

I gave him the money.

"Wait, here's my number," he said taking out a piece of paper and writing seven digits on it. He give it to me.

I took it. "Um thanks?" I said, sounding like a question.

I closed the door.

I sat back down and opened the pizza. It looked nasty. I got on and put it on my mouth. It took a while, but I was able to finish at least half. I could feel the pizza come back up. I ran to the restroom, not wanting to throw up in front of everyone.

Emmett's POV

Bella ran to the bathroom.

"What was that about?" Edward asked, as we all look at the spot Bella ran from.

Then Carlisle and Esme came in. Carlisle saw the pizza box.

"You invited humans?" He asked.

"Edward made Bella eat half of the box," I said, shooting him a glare.

"Will she be okay?" Rosalie asked, worry in her voice. That just made me love her even more, how worried she was of my little sister.

"She'll be sick for about twenty-four hours," Carlisle told us. "You guys should know this already."

We nodded. We stayed quiet, well except Bella, who was throwing up.

I glared at Edward. We stayed there for the whole night waiting for Bella to be done.

Alice got up when we had to get ready for school. "Rosalie, we have to make Edward pretty," she said, "Emmett, go check if Bella is good enough to go to school."

I nodded and ran to the bathroom. She looked like hell. She wasn't as sick as I thought she was going to look, but she did throw up.

"Bella you want to go to school?" I asked sitting down next to her.

"Yeah. I mean I want to be with my brother," she said, her voice wavering.

I helped her up and to her room. She then changed and went to the bathroom to throw up again. When she came out I asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes," she said, giving my a firm nod.

"Okay," I said, as I wrapped my arm around her. I took her to my Jeep. Rosalie was in the driver seat. Edward, Alice, and Jasper took Alice's Porsche. I sat in the back seat with my sister.

When we got to school everyone was staring.

They looked at Jasper because he streaked. They stared at Edward because he is wearing a dress and make-up. Bella, because she's leaning on me, sick as hell. Mike Newton stared at me; I winked at him and smiled.

We went to class. I went to drop off Rosalie, and then went to talk to Bella's teacher.

"Emmett, hello," she said, giving me a small smile.

"Ms., I would like to talk to you," I said politely.

"Okay," she said. She saw Bella and stared at me.

"This is my sister, we were split when we were younger and have just reunited. But she isn't feeling good, so she might be running out of your room," I told her, looking down at Bella.

"Why doesn't she stay at home?" She asked, her eyes shifting from me to my sister.

"She doesn't want to. She's stubborn."

"Er, I usually don't do this, but you can stay in class with her. To make sure she's okay," she said. We both looked Bella. She looked out of it, ready to explode any minute.

"Thank you," I said, giving her a nod. I walked inside and helped her sit.

"Aren't you going to class?" She asked me. "That's Jess's seat."

"No for now we're classmates," I said, "and she can sit somewhere else."

She shook her head and put it on the table.

'This isn't normal,' I thought, 'I ate human food and I wasn't this sick. Maybe it's something else. But what?'

Class went like a blur. During passing period, Bella went to throw up.

I waited at the door until I heard nothing. I got scared and checked it out. No one was inside luckily and I saw her passed out.

"This is definitely not normal," I told myself. I picked her up and ran home.

No one was home when I got there. I took her to her room. After she was on her bed, all covered up, I called Carlisle.

"Hello Emmett, this it better be an emergency," Carlisle told me.

"Hello Emmett, this it better be an emergency," Carlisle told me.

"Bella fainted. Is it normal?" I asked, staring at my sleeping sister.

"No. Where are you?" He asked, more alert than when I called him.

"Home."

"I'll be right there," he said and hung up. I called Rosalie next.

"Emmett, what happened? Where are you?" She asked, her voice on the verge of panic.

"Bells fainted and I brought her home."

"Is she okay?" Rosalie asked, worried.

"I don't know. I called Carlisle. I don't think it was the food that did this. I think there is more than what she is telling us."

"I think you're right. We'll see you later."

I heard Carlisle. "He's here. I'll tell you what he tells me okay," I told her.

"Okay. Bye," she said.

Carlisle had his equipment. He walked to her. He did a bunch of stuff. I didn't care; I just wanted her to be okay.

"Okay Emmett," he said, as he signaled me to go outside.

"What is it?" I asked, following him out.

"I'm not hundred percent sure, but since she's been weak, her body was going to give out."

"So it wasn't the food?" I asked.

"It was."

"I'm confused," I told him.

"Okay, remember the story. She wasn't feeding; she was emotionally hurt, by you and James. Then with the food, her body couldn't take it. There could be more that she didn't tell us, we won't know until she's awake" he explained.

"Is she going to be okay?"

"Yes. She'll wake up in a few minutes," he told me. He left to work and I went back into the room.

I called Rosalie again.

"Is she okay?"

"Yes, her body was ready to shut down," I told her.

"I don't understand," she told me.

I told her what Carlisle told me. She told me to make sure Bella got better and that she would see me when she got home.

We said our goodbyes and hung up.

"Emmett?" Bells whispered, her voice weak, as if she's fighting to stay awake.

"Oh my god, you woke up!" I said, hugging her.

Bella's POV

"Why aren't we at school?" I remembered going to school, but then nothing.

"You passed out in the bathroom."

I nodded. He got up and started to walk out.

"Don't leave me," I whispered, reaching out for him.

"I promise I'll never leave again," he told me, walked back to the bed and lying down next to me.

"How am I supposed to believe you? You said the same thing last time."

"Because after what I've been through, I don't want to go through it again," he said, staring at me..

I nodded.

"Aren't you going to promise?"

"I, uh...um," I stuttered. I couldn't promise him. Some thing was keeping me from staying. He was waiting. "I p-promise to not leave without reason."

He nodded and left for a while. I stayed thinking.

James and Victoria were keeping me from staying in one place for too long. They've been getting an army. While I was with the Volturi, they killed half the guard. It was devastating. I don't want to Cullens to die.

They've been stalking me. They will find me and kill Emmett and the Cullens.

This time I will have to break the promise. At least I have a reason, and its to save Emmett and his family. He really loves them and I don't want him to lose them, I know the feeling of having no one left.

I still remembered the promise James gave me.

"Bella, we will find you," James told me.

"James, just leave me alone!" I had enough of him and just wanted to be left on my own.

"It won't matter who you're with," Victoria told me, touching my cheek.

"We will kill them and their family," James finished.

They kicked me and left laughing.

I couldn't promise him. Not with what they promised me.
