Hey guys, I hope you like this chapter. This is what I wrote so far. Hope you like it. Please review it and tell me what you think!
It was very sunny outside, very hot and very sweaty. I felt like I would melt away in to a puddle of colours, no matter what I wore. The suns rays shot down on me and started burning up my skin from head to toe. I lay there silently on the dry, almost dead grass in the front of my house on the lawn. I was still waiting, waiting to feel the sun pull the skin on my body down and into a liquid form of an abstract painting. It was peaceful until I could hear a faint buzzing sound coming from inside my house. I tried to ignore it but it still kept on buzzing. I tried to block out the noise but it kept getting louder and louder. Suddenly I could hear someone shouting at me, calling my name!
"Renesmee Carlie Cullen! Get inside this house this instant!"
Oh no! , I totally forgot that my grandfather is here! Like always I had to pretend that this was a normal family. I raced into the house at full speed, not forgetting to go at human pace. He would know that something is wrong if I ran at my normal speed. I started walking towards the stairs.
"Auntie Alice! I think I need a little bit of help!"
"Oh my! You definitely got your sense of dressing from your mother nessie! Look at you!"
with that she took me by the hand and whizzed me up the stairs to her room too fast for grandpa Charlie to even notice. Once we were in Aunt Alice's room, she opened her wardrobe. Wow! My mother was definitely right. Her closet was the size of three clothing shops stuck in one! Aunt Alice put her hand on my shoulders and told me to stay still. She moved back slowly and stood two feet away from me. Aunt Alice was as short as a pixie, but in fact she was just two to three centimeters shorter than me. Her hair was jet black and had spikes of them pointing in every direction possible. Her hair complimented her face which made it look very child like, but at the same time very adult like. She was wearing her favorite black neck-tight necklace with the initials "A.J" in beautiful small diamonds in the corner of her neck. She was wearing a baby blue sleeveless collar top with a neat column of white buttons going down the middle of her shirt right down to her waist. She was wearing light blue jeans shorts with the edges folded at the thighs, this suited well with her top. She wore small diamond earrings with the letter "A" on her right ear and "J" on her left. She looked like a Greek goddess like my mother used to tell me. Smiling and laughing with an angelic voice.
"this will be most…appropriate for now, well
at least for Charlie anyways."
"It's beautiful Aunt Alice! Thank you."
"Put it on quickly, I'll be downstairs."
And then she quickly kissed me on my cheek and sped out of the room. The clothes Aunt Alice gave me was a long silky brown top with long sleeves that ended in a "U" shape. The shirt had a long belt like ribbon around the waist and ended in a bow. The pant was light blue jeans which was skin tight until it reached down to the knees and was loose towards the bottom of the pant. I quickly popped the clothes on and went downstairs to meet my grandfather. I walked down the stairs, slowly but steadily, not going too fast nor too slow. My grandfather was sitting in the living room sofa next to my father and was talking about me. They were talking about my schooling and education. I noticed that my grand father had curly short black hair which went well with his brownish- white skin tone. He was a bit plump but not too chubby in the sense. He wore a brown woolen jumper with a red collared shirt underneath. The sweater was a bit too wooly and had small balls of brown puffs here and there but you couldn't see them clearly with human eyes. He wore light grey pants that were a little creased at the bottom edges of his pant.
"Hey kiddo! missed you so much. How long has it
been since the last time I saw you! wow! look at you,
you grew so tall!" He hugged me and kissed me on my forehead. He have me smug smile which I liked to see on his chubby face. My father was suddenly at my side. Soon enough, my family came into the living room and greeted my grand father.
"Hi dad! it's so nice to see you again!"
"Hey Bella! nice to see you too…you look beautiful as ever."
"Thanks dad. Love you too."
My mom came to stand beside me and my father.
"Where's Alice? Haven't seen her in a while. Is she 'round? How is she?"
"She's upstairs in her study. She'll join us shortly." my dad said that in a sweet, honey like voice. Just then Aunt Alice came happily down the stairs. Too happily that I knew she was planning something. She wasn't really the type of person (or in this case vampire) who would come and join us late when we have guests. Especially when Grandpa Charlie visits! She is always the first one to open the door for him! Something was up and I wasn't in on it. That got my blood boiling for a minute and I wasn't at all pleased! She of all people would tell me what she was planning or thinking. Although I was unhappy, I didn't want to spoil the mood for everyone. Especially Grandpa Charlie.
"Hi Charlie!" Aunt Alice's voice was like musical wind chimes but I did not let my anger get distracted from it.
"Hey Alice! How've you been? Long time no se I guess."
"Im as fit as a fiddle. And yes it's been a while."
Everyone in the room was silent for a moment. They were all smiling at Grandpa Charlie and then to…me? I just stood there smiling back at their faces in silence when Grandpa Carlisle broke it.
"Well then, since everyone's here, why don't we all go out together?" this was unexpected. Carlisle (whom I got used to calling him by his name since everyone calls him by his name.) wouldn't just say something like that, even in normal circumstances! Something was wrong with this picture and it has Aunt Alice all over it!
"Yeah, why not. We could all have a picnic…or something…, yeah sure!"
Grandpa Charlie ended his sentence with uncertainty, which made it obvious that something was definitely going on now I was getting EXTREMELY ANGRY!!!
"Great! Um…dad? May I have a word with you in the kitchen please?"
"Sure Bella!"
I knew it! Everyone was in on it except me! I couldn't hide my anger any longer but I still intended on not showing it.
"Excuse me for a moment please." Said and slowly turned towards the stairs and went up to my father's room. I closed the door quietly and started walking angrily in the room, my pace going faster with the thought of not knowing something that my whole family knows about besides me!
"I can't believe it...my own family…they couldn't...I mean why…how...ugh" it didn't matter anyway! If they wanted to keep a secret, fine! Just then Aunt Alice came into the room with clothes and laid them on my dads' bed. She turned to look at me in the eyes with an extremely happy and excited face. I didn't know that one face can have so mush happiness!
"Nessie quickly put these on and come fast! Bella and Edward will wait for you downstairs. Don't take too long to dress up!"
"Aunt Alice, what's going on? I want to know---" she cut me off midsentence.
"Sorry, bit busy, got to go! Love you!"
She was gone in a flash. This made me upset even more! I went over to the bed and looked at the clothes lay there. It was a beautiful black dress that went just below your knees. It had two thin shoulder straps and was frilled at the bottom. It had black netting underneath the dress and soft padding so the netting won't scratch my legs. The dress wasn't too formal nor was it too casual. Next to the dress were a pair of gorgeous silver shoes that I could run and jump in. The heels at the bottom were short and flat. The clothes looked a little less comforting when the thought of what it was for came up in my mind. I put the clothes on slowly and dressed properly. I purposely took twenty minutes. Aunt Alice would get irritated so much when I came late to something. I smiled at the thought but then the smile faded when I realized that I've been keeping my parents waiting. I walked down the stair slowly and steadily the way a princess would walk when she is announced into the ball room. I saw my parents sitting on the sofa and watching the TV. I saw my mother glance at me and she couldn't stop smiling. I saw that she was astounded, happy and shocked with the expression laid out on her face.
"You look lovely this evening Nessie." He said when it was too quiet. My mother came over to hug me. She kissed me on my forehead and we all went out to the garage. We got into my dads Volvo, which was the only car in the garage! This was odd! Who would take all those cars? Uncle Em's truck? Aunt Rosalie's convertible? Aunt Alice's porsche? Aunt Alice was planning something big! That must mean that a lot of people are going to be there! What is she doing? Cars gone, huge crowd, the family's out. Either we are going on a long vacation or holiday… or this must be one hell of a picnic!
"Don't worry nessie, you'll find out soon enough. Although we are not going out for a family vacation!" my dad answered my thoughts and I was a little relieved he did so. If I was going to find out soon enough then I would have to just wait and try not to get too anxious! My dad was driving at an abnormally slow speed- for him at least. He hates to follow human road rules. At least me and my mum were enjoying it- for the rest of the way to…wherever we were going. The whole journey must take at least an I looked out window while we drove. I saw deferent kinds of trees as we drove by, and in one of them I saw a squirrel family collecting acorns for the winter. The family had two big squirrels that were the mom and dad. There were two small ones running along a branch and disappeared into the woody tree. It was in its own way a sweet moment to witness. I cuddled up close to my mom and rested my head on her shoulder. She hugged me tight right back and smiled. Twenty minutes later my mom smiled and said
"Not long now nessie."
"But mom, what is it that I have to wait for? What is it that I have to get anxious about? And what is Aunt Alice up to?"
The car suddenly came to a stop. I saw that my dad parked the car in the parking lot of a park. If all of this secrecy was to make me come to a park, the Aunt Alice better run while she can!
"Well why don't you see for yourself." He said with excitement in his voice as he got out of the car and opened the car door for me and my mother. As soon as we were out, I gently let go of my mother and moved closer to my dad. I touched his hand as I closed my eye. Slowly a grin started to appear on my face. I thought of all my family (not including Charlie and Jacob of course!) hanging on the walls of my home in a circle. In the middle was me as I was about to vaporize Aunt Alice. After that, I thought of the words: "whatever's going on better be worth keeping a secret! Especially from me!" while I was thinking, I heard my dad laugh loudly. This made me jump and suddenly open my eyes. I looked at him with a cheerful expression on my face. I was pleased with what I just thought.
"What's so funny Edward?" my mother asked. Her confused expression was changed to a happy smile. She must have known that my dad was going to tell her later, while I was not around.
"Don't worry nessie. I'm sure all of that is not necessary! Just wait and see." That was the problem, I couldn't wait! I never really liked to be kept waiting to find something out. I never really liked to deal with all of this tension. I just don't like to be the last one to know things. My dad told me to close my eyes as he put something cold over them. It felt nice and I knew that it was a blindfold as soon as he tied it at the back of my head. Suddenly I was lifted up sideways, with one hand under my thighs supporting my legs, and the other hand supporting my back. I was blindfolded and being cradled!
"You do realize that I can walk now dad!"
"I know, I just don't want you to walk when you can't see."
"Don't worry about me dad…why don't you just toe me?"
When he didn't answer I knew that he didn't like the idea of me being toed. I didn't like that idea so much either. Even though I pleaded for him to let go of me several times, he just ignored me and carried on walking. I was still anxious as to what was going on and that thought kept the time pass by just a bit more quickly.
