Chapter 16

Jack and Emmet hit it up really quickly after they found out that they both shared the same hobby.

Video Games.

From the Mario games to the newest world of Warcraft.

They talked for hours, and only when the sun was about to rise up once more did they stop talking and decide to start heading back toward the mansion.

"You said you had a PlayStation 2 at home?" Jack asked as his eyes practically shined at the idea of playing on it.

Emmet laughed as he nodded and put his hand over Jack's shoulder.

"Not only do I have one Jack, but I also have two controllers and hundreds of games," Emmet said as he extended his chest as if waiting for Jack to praise him.

"Cool, I'm stealing that," Jack said as he smirked at the large bear-like man.

"What do you mean you're stealing my baby? I'll never allow it, no you aren't even allowed to see her now." Emmet said as he quickly took his hand off Jack's shoulder.

For a second they both stood in confrontation with each other.

Neither side was giving in.

And then the next second they were both laughing their asses off.

"Ah, I think we are going to have a great time Jack," Emmet said as he started walking again.

Walking next to him, Jack nodded with a grin on his face.

"I think we will," Jack said his voice clearly enthusiastic.

After an hour when the sun had fully risen on the horizon, Emmet and Jack returned to the mansion.

"Where have you two been, weren't you just going to show him the borders of our territory Emmet?" Esme said as she looked at him.

Jack felt a bad premotion at Esme's tone but he couldn't quite put his hand on it.

[ Charisma Check ]

[ Charisma Requirement 5 ]

[ Charisma Check Failed ]

'Fuck, does that mean I can't figure out what her tone means?' Jack thought as he stared at the woman who was giving Emmet a stare.

'Ok let's just think of this logically. Emmet was only supposed to show me the border which shouldn't have taken a lot of time but we stayed out there until the next morning which could logically cause Esme to be worried about him or maybe us which would mean that she is upset at Emmet. And that means that her tone indicates that she's angry.' Jack's thoughts ran wild as they swirled around his head at a mile-a-second speed.

His increased intelligence allowed him to understand and compute the entire situation in less than a split second.

'At least this increased intelligence stat is useful' Jack thought to himself as he took a step away from Emmet.

"And where do you think you are going, Jack?" Esme said as she turned to face him this time.

"Uh, I was just about to head inside?" Jack said awkwardly as he replied to the upset woman.

Esme looked at him for a moment and then at Emmet and finally released a sigh.

"Could you at least send me a message or something next time? Especially when you are out with a one-day-old vampire Emmet, I thought something happened to you two." Esme said and finally gave them enough space in the doorway so they could head inside.

As he was walking past her, Jack gave her a small sorry and went inside.

Once inside, Jack and Emmet looked at the living room and found that Alice and Rosalie were watching some kind of television show.

Alice turned toward them to greet the two but found that both of them had already vanished.

Jack and Emmet were already heading to Emmet's room excitedly at the thought of playing video games with someone else.

Jack had never been a social butterfly and no one really played videogames in Forks whilst no one in the Cullen family played games besides Emmet.

Their meeting felt like fate to Jack and Emmet.

Opening the door and heading inside, Jack saw that the entire room was filled with posters of games and there were tens of game consoles on one side of the room and even a desk with a computer on the other side.

"I already know you have the best room in the entire house Emmet, there's no way anyone can surpass this" Jack said as his eyes practically shined.

'Observe' Jack thought as he stared at a console on the floor.

[ Item Name: PlayStation One ]

'Observe' 

'Observe'

'Observe'

Jack continued to use Observe on every single console, his expression turning more excited as he found more and more of them.

Just imagining how many games he could play on them made him completely forget about what had happened the last few days.

It was as if he had already been fully immersed into his own world with no one being able to disturb him.

[ Item Name: PlayStation 2 ]

[ Item Name: Xbox game console ]

[ Item Name: Nintendo DS ]

"So which one do you want to play first?" Emmet asked as he sat on a makeshift pillow chair.

"The PlayStation 2, I've been meaning to buy one for forever but I still didn't have enough money yet," Jack said as he sat on the pillow chair next to him.

Taking the PlayStation Two, Jack looked at the list of games Emmet had.

'Grand theft auto 3, San Andreas and Vice City Burn out Three, Devil may cry, and Metal gear solid 2.' Jack thought as he stared at the CD disks.

"Damn you have great taste Emmet" Jack said as he took out the grand theft auto san andreas cd and put it into the PlayStation.

"Still the GTA series is my favorite, what about you Emmet?" Jack asked as he turned to look at the large vampire.

Emmet made a thinking face for a moment and then answered.

"I like Devil May Cry the most, it's also the one I've played the most though," Emmet said.
