Summary: I have yet to read Breaking Dawn (I know, I know shameful isn't it) so I'm sure practically all of you have already read it (again unlike me) but until it is shipped to my house this is what I would think on Breaking Dawn, I'm only doing this to fill my boring days without a book to read.
-Edward has dreamed about this day his entire lifetime, Bella is now warming to the idea, the happiest moment of their lives is about to happen but unfortunately an unprepared visit from unwelcome guests send their most glorious of days shattering all around them-
Prologue
It had been explained to me many times before that it was hard to kill a vampire; there was a limited option on which to do so. On a certain occasion I had witnessed first hand how one of those few ways could be done, Victoria and the newborn's death was a perfect example, torn and burned. Today that same image had been presented to me and I couldn't pry my eyes from the sight, even if the sweet smoke burned my eyes. The ground beneath me shook slightly as he landed on his knees, tearless sobs escaping his lips, something that I had never imagined on hearing, especially from him. This time I did turn away, feeling that this had to be more private a moment then ever but the pain still shook through me, I closed my eyes, and at the same time I tried to block out the sound, the sound that would forever haunt me.
Bella POV
My heart was beating so fast I was almost positive it would crash through my chest. All week my nerves were on edge, my heart never calming, and my mind was a mess all because of this day, my wedding day. It was still hard for my mind to wrap around that word and even now it felt like a dream and in a matter of minutes I would wake up in my bed with Edward there to listen to my pointless rambling. But as Alice pulled with all her strength –enough without hurting me- on the back of my dress, trying to make it look as perfect as possible whilst cutting off my air supply I quickly realized that I wasn't dreaming that in a few short hours I would be getting married. I wasn't totally objected to the idea, this was just a small sacrifice compared to the gift Edward was giving me in return. Not only would he be taking away my humanity or soul as he liked to put it, he was also willing to try something else that I had in mind, something almost as more important then spending eternity with him, even the thought made the butterflies in my stomach erupt into a frenzy and sent a blush to my cheeks.
"I'm done!" Alice said congratulating herself. I let out a breath, letting my ribs adjust to the cage they were now in. "You look so beautiful, Bella" she gushed, I took in another breath "don't you think so?" I couldn't help but roll my eyes
"I wouldn't know Alice; you haven't led me to a mirror yet"
"Oh" she said laughing to herself, finally remembering that she told me I couldn't see myself until I was all done, she wanted it to be a surprise. "Well then close you eyes" she commanded, I did what I was told and felt her tiny, cold hand wrap around mine. She led me a few steps out from her room and into her bathroom, which was bigger than mine and Charlie' room put together. I felt her drop my hand and then place both hands on my waist, turning my slightly.
"Open them!" she squealed, at first I didn't, Slightly afraid at what I might see, Knowing Alice like I did I was afraid she had gone overboard, caking my face with makeup and curling my hair so much I looked like Shirley Temple. When she noticed I hadn't dared look she groaned
"Seriously Bella, it seems like I'm more excited about this then you are" I frowned defending myself "I am excited, just a little nervous"
"Well go on then and open your eyes" she pushed "Do I have to force you?" she questioned, a hard edge to her tone. I shook my head and let out a slow sigh, squeezing my eyes shut more tightly before letting them flutter open.
I gasped and Alice squealed, obviously pleased by my reaction. "See it's not so bad" she stood bedside's me as I leaned forward, closer to the mirror, my jaw loose slack
"Wow" I whispered, amazed. She had done an incredible job and at first I thought I was staring at someone else, someone like Rosalie. My makeup wasn't caked on at all, if anything it almost looked natural. My usually muddy brown eyes were now brighter and looked some what bigger with help from the eyeliner that traced the outline of my top lid and was barely noticeable at the bottom. My cheeks were pink with blush, bringing a small color to my usually pale, sunless face. My lashes were full and curled and my eyebrows had been touched up with tweezers and pencil. My hair hung loose down my back, like I usually wore it but my curls were a little more defined and there was no sign of frizz or tangles. Alice had outdone herself but still managed to make me look like well…me and I was happy, I feared that I would look like a completely different person, someone no one would recognized and I let out a sigh of relief, I was still Bella.
I was so stunned by my face and hair that I had completely forgotten about the dress, even though I had seen it on me a million times before when Alice would adjust it and then readjust it I had yet to see the final product. It was a traditional white gown, designed by some fashion legend that I had never heard of before. The corset-like top hugged my waist and I saw a figure I never knew I had before, because most of the time it was covered by my rain coat and sweaters. I picked up the bottom half of my dress, the smooth satin material slipping through my fingers; I let it fall back down to the floor. I swore to myself that I wouldn't cry until I had gotten to the alter but here I was, the tears falling down my cheeks. I turned to Alice overwhelmed and overjoyed, she smiled carefully wiping away the tears with a finger as to not wipe away my makeup "Good thing I used waterproof mascara" her smile got wider, ignoring my ongoing tears she grabbed both my hands in hers
"Bella I am so happy for you, you make a beautiful bride" I let out a laugh, embarrassed that I was already buckling, surrendering to my emotions and this wasn't even the start of what was coming next, none of us knew what was inevitably coming next.
