Book 1: Tiffany

"What the heck were you doing at our house?" I yelled.

"Tiffany, for God's sake, say a freaking cuss word!" Alicia said.

"Fine! What the hell were you doing at our house? Happy?"

"Well I didn't want to even know how to fight the werewolves so I left. I found your scent and followed it. Then I smelled some animal and though it would be a good hunt. But then I figured out that you have animals!" Maria said.

Everyone looked at us with confusion.

"You have animals? Like pets?" Jasper asked us.

Alicia and I looked very innocent. We looked down and spoke at the same time. "Yes."

"What do you do? Raise them then eat them?" Emmett asked tauntingly.

"No!" we both said. Then my sister spoke alone. "We raise them and play with them. We never eat them. They have been our only friends until we met you guys."

"Yeah," I said. Then my eyes widened and I looked to Maria. "Did you eat my cat?"

Alicia caught on. "Or my horse?"

We spoke together. "Or our dog?"

Everyone was shocked.

"You have that many pets?" Edward said. "Doesn't it hurt to have them around?"

"No not really," Alicia said. "They are immortal."

"Wait, what?" Carlisle said. "Isn't that dangerous? Wouldn't they go after a human?"

"Oh no. We trained them," I said pleasantly.

"They aren't any different from regular newborn vampires, except that they can't talk. So we used the techniques we picked up from watching Jasper," Alicia said.

"Interesting," Carlisle said.

"I thought they were weird," Maria said. "When I got there I noticed they didn't have any blood, which is why I didn't kill them."

I calmed down some, so did my sister. "Wow, you can actually feel the awkward."

"Tell me about it," Jasper and Alicia said. They looked at each other and laughed. The rest of the family laughed as well.

"So," Edward dragged out the word. "When's the wedding?"

I stared at him in confusion. "What?"

"Thanks a lot, Edward," Seth said.

"What?" I repeated.

"Oh oops. Too early?" Edward asked.

"What's too early?" I yelled.

My sister snorted. "Heh, blond."

"Would somebody please explain to me what's going on?"

Seth sighed and I turned to him. He got down on one knee. "Tiffany?"

I gasped. "Ohmygod, yes!" I bent down and hugged him.

"Ow!" he said.

They audience behind us chuckled. I stood up. "Go on."

He laughed a little. He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a black box. I drew in a deep breath.

"Que quowle. (k-we k-WOW-le) Stay with me forever," Seth said.

I started crying my tearless sob. "Of course, Seth!"

He stood up and hugged me. He pulled me away. "Want to see the ring?"

"Yeah," I said it as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Seth opened the little black box and there sitting in the light blue silk was my ring. It was absolutely perfect.

There was a large, light pink, square gem. On every side of the square, there was a small row of colorless diamonds. Then on the white gold band there was three rows of diamonds. It shone in the light and the diamonds were like glitter.

"Oh my goodness. Seth," I said.

"Like it?" he asked.

"I absolutely love it!" I turned and gave him a hug. "Thank you. Can I put it on?"

"Of course." He took the ring out and put the box back in his pocket. He slid the ring out and put the box back in his pocket. He slide the ring onto my finger. It felt so right. I smiled. I fluttered my fingers, causing the gem to glitter every which way.

"When I saw it, it reminded me of you. And I know how you like pink," Seth said shyly.

"I love it," I said reassuringly. I thought for a moment. Ring. Hey, a wedding needs to be planned. Maybe I could ask...

I turned to Alice with a smile.

"No! Tiffany you have no idea what you're doing!" Edward said.

"Why is he like that?" Alicia asked Jasper.

Jasper shrugged.

Alicia was quiet. Her expression was bored.

"Alice?" I said.

Alice's eyes went blank. Then she smiled and squealed.

"No!" Edward said.

"Oh." Jasper tapped Alicia's shoulder. "Alice goes way over board with weddings. She pulls everyone into it."

She thought abot it for a moment. "Well screw this." She turned to walk out.

"No!" I said. She stopped and reluctantly went to stand beside Jasper again.

"Thank you, Tiffany!" Alice ran and hugged me. "I love you for letting me do this.!"

When she let me go I said, "I do have some power over this, though."

"Yeah, yeah." Nothing ever rained on Alice's parade. Her eyes widened with excitement. Jasper smiled at his wife. "That also means you need a wedding dress! Ooh! This is going to be so fun! I have so much work to do." She looked over and smiled at Jasper.

He wasn't paying attention. He looked to see why we got all quiet. He took in Alice's expression and probably ran over her last words. "Oh, no. You're not pulled me into that." He opened the window he was standing next to. "Love you." He jumped out the window and dashed into the woods.

Alice laughed. "He's so funny. I didn't think he would. Oh well. C'mon Tiffany. We have designing to do."

"On what?" I asked.

"Your wedding dress, silly."

She dragged me by the arm and led me upstairs. We sat at a large desk in an office. Carlisle's scent was all over it so I supposed this was his office. Was. For the next month or so, this would be Alice's work space.

Alice cleared the desk and pulled out a couple of sketch pads. She grabbed a few pencils then sat down at the desk. She looked up at me. "Take a seat. There is an extra chair in the corner."

I looked over to the corner and sitting there was a metal folding char. I went over and got it. I opened it up and sat down facing Alice.

"So what now?" I asked.

"Can you draw?" she said. "I'm not good at drawing with just words."

"Me? Uh, no. My sister can though."

"Let's go get her."

We walked out of the room and dashed down the stairs. Alicia was alone in the kitchen. What on earth was she doing there?

She looked up at the sound of our approach. She was frowning but then she smiled. It didn't touch her eyes. "Did you need something?"

"Actually, yes," I said. "We need help designing my wedding dress and you are really good at drawing."

Alicia's eyes were locked on my ring. Her eyes were wistful. She sighed and closed her eyes. Then she smiled another smile that didn't touch her eyes. "Not right now, 'kay?" Her voice was scratchy. "But, Tiffany. We need to hunt. You and Alice can work on that later."

"Now that you mention it," I said. "My throat is on fire."

"Well. Okay. But hurry back," Alice said.

"We will," I said.

Alicia and I walked out of the house. Soon, we were flying through the forest. Her face never changed the whole time. Never showed a different emotion other than sadness.

We were on our way back, when we crossed Jasper's scent. A little farther down, his scent mixed with something disgusting. Werewolf.
