Emmett watched the ball fly towards him, he felt nervous.
He didn't want to let Silas down, especially since he was the reason Edward made it last round.
Rosalie watched the ball fly through the air as she ran, seeing that Emmett was ready to catch it, she shot him a mean glare.
You dare?
Emmett of course saw her message, but he ignored it, focusing on the ball closing in.
Just as Rosalie was about to cross the last base.
"Out!" Emmett yelled as he caught the ball.
Bella also judged Rosalie as being out.
Rosalie's expression was grim, she stomped the ground and glared at Bella, then at Emmett.
Then she narrowed her eyes as she shot a light glare at Silas.
Just then Carlisle stepped forward.
"Alright, the defense has got three outs, so now it's time to switch places.
Silas walked towards the other side of the field where the offensive team had stood.
When he passed the others they gave him a provocative glance.
They weren't gonna make it easy for him.
Silas smiled at them and lined up with Alice.
"We're in the lead." Silas said after he gave Alice a kiss on the cheek.
She smiled and giggled.
"Yeah, hope you hit the ball as well as you catch it."
Silas shrugged.
"I don't know, we'll just have to see, won't we."
Alice rolled her eyes.
"You're not gonna give me a straight answer so I can relax?"
"Nope."
"Figures."
Emmett who watched their interaction rolled his eyes.
"Focus, you two, we still haven't won."
Silas looked at Emmett then smacked his arm.
"Don't worry, we'll win."
Emmett pointed towards the field.
"They are one more than us, they are five, we are four."
Silas glanced over and clicked his tongue.
"You're right, what a bunch of cheaters."
Emmett grunted.
"You're not focusing on the main point!"
"Which is?"
Silas was genuinely confused.
Emmett took a deep breath.
"They are once more than us, thus they have a higher chance of winning, and it's harder for us to run a lap."
"So we might lose."
Hearing that Silas scoffed.
"We won't lose, you can't go in with that mindset."
Emmett shook his head and waved his hand as he walked over and picked up the bat.
"I'm starting."
No one said anything about that.
Silas wrapped his arms around Alice and asked.
"Do you wanna go before or after me?"
Alice leaned her head back.
"Before."
Silas saw his opportunity and leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips.
Esme who was watching this scene further away had a happy motherly smile on her lips.
Nothing made her happier than seeing her kids happy.
"Are you ready!?" Carlisle yelled as he threw the ball into the air once.
Showing that he was ready to throw anytime, and it seemed the rest of his team were ready as well.
Emmett was twirling the bat excitedly, he was ready, and he was gonna win.
He didn't care if Rosalie was on the other team, he didn't care if she was gonna get mad if he won.
He was going to win, for him… and for his good brother Silas.
"We are ready!" Emmett shouted as he got into position.
Carlisle gripped the ball tightly then placed on foot in front of the other.
And with great care aimed it towards Emmett.
A second later he threw the ball with all his might, sending it spinning through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.
Emmett had his eyes glued to the ball, then he waved his bat right at it.
And with a thunderous bang, he hit the ball square on sending it hurling towards the forest on the other side of the field.
In the blink of an eye Emmett had already dropped the bat, and before the bat even hit the ground he was at the first base.
He had never run this fast… ever.
He was pushing his limits further and further. He was gonna win!
Edward chased after the ball with break neck speed.
After dodging a few trees as he made his way through the forest terrain he caught up with the ball.
He picked it up and threw it towards Ella who was standing at the edge of the trees.
She caught it cleanly and sent it towards Jasper who was at first base.
"Out!" He yelled.
But… sadly, he was too late.
Emmett had just crossed the last base, and Bella had seen it.
That was one point to Silas's team.
"Haha! I made it!" Emmett exclaimed in relief.
Now even if they didn't win he knew that he wasn't the reason.
He had scored one point.
Silas watched Emmett's little happy dance and shook his head.
Rosalie's gonna kill him…
He looked towards Rosalie who had a ferocious expression, she was practically fuming.
Silas shot one pitying glance towards Emmett before he turned to Alice.
"Are you ready?"
Alice nodded.
She was a little nervous, but she also wanted to win, she wanted to make Silas proud.
She picked up the bat and got into position.
Carlisle saw this and felt for her, but that didn't mean he was gonna go easy on her.
No, that wouldn't make her feel better.
He got in position, took aim, and charged up the ball.
Alice had a serious expression on her face as she saw Carlisle's posture.
He was going all out.
Whistle~
With a sharp whistle, the ball flew towards Alice at superhuman speeds.
The ball was merely a blur even to vampires.
To humans vision it might not even be visible.
But Alice was ready, so when the ball arrived she swung the bat and hit the ball dead on.
The loud sound of the bat hitting the ball rang through the field.
With a slight bang, the bat hit the ground.
But Alice was nowhere to be seen.
She had already run off towards first base.
The ball flew high and far, it really had that pressure behind it.
It was a nice shot.
But… was she gonna make it?
Silas hoped she would, he could tell Alice wanted to win, win for herself, not just rely on him and the team.
The defenders weren't just gonna stand there.
Ella rushed towards the ball and after taking a leap from the tree trunk she was able to propel herself into the air and grab the ball.
She twisted in the air and landed with a clear shot towards first base.
But her aim wasn't that good.
She instead aimed towards Jasper who was closer.
Jasper caught the ball and quickly threw it towards Edward at first base.
Seeing the ball flying towards him Edward knew he couldn't afford to mess up, so he focused entirely on the ball.
He had no idea where Alice was, or if she was close to making it.
With two hands he easily caught the ball.
Feeling the texture in the palms of his hands he yelled.
"Out!"
He then looked up and saw.
...
Enjoy. Mwah~
