Chapter 24- The Control

Breathing felt so easy all of the sudden. The world felt easier. Forks had never seemed so beautiful to me as it did when I got out of the car. Edward and I had to retell our story so many times on the way home I felt as if I was telling them a story from my childhood. Meeting the new vampires that rescued me was a cultural shock. Edward was right Carlisle had called in a few favors. The most welcoming was Eleazar, he curious about my story and my power. 

"They were going to take it from you?" Eleazar for the third time I nodded and smiled at his inquires. My body still was recuperating, I still wasn't 100 percent. Many of the new vampires returned to Forks with us. Jasper lied to me saying most want to see how the Cullens lived with out human blood. I knew better, they were here to watch me. I think it was because I was such an anomaly to them. Rosalie couldn't be more ecstatic. She skipped around the house, hugging people. Emmett would just stare at her. He was torn, his love for her or his love for being a vampire. I didn't envy him. So when he asked to talk to me outside. I knew what was coming. 

"Bella I need you-" Emmett said with his back to me.

"Alright" I said before he asked. He turned from the woods to look at me. He smiled a sad smile. 

"But we have to do something first." He said seriously.

"What's that" I asked. He knelt behind a tree stump and put his elbow on it, his hand straight up. I laughed.

"You want to arm wrestle as your last act as a vampire?"  He nodded. "What if you lose?" 

"Then I will have to become human because of the embarrassment anyway." I smiled and knelt on the opposite side of him and place my hand in his. "Ready to lose" He asked.  

"Are you?" I taunted back. "One, two, three go!" He pushed hard with his arm strength. I wanted him to feel like he was doing well so let my arm go backwards a little.
