Chapter 1
Wedding Disaster
It was the day before the wedding, and Alice was bustling around for the last minute details. I was just watching her amused.
The wedding wasn't going to be big, just the Cullen's, Charlie, Renee, and Phil. The priest, of course, would be there as well. There would be the wedding and then we would go to the Cullen's for gifts and food. It would be snacky type so that it wouldn't be so noticeable when the Cullen's didn't eat anything.
My mind wandered over bits and pieces until I was staring at the third finger of my left hand. On it was an old fashioned oval ring surrounded by tiny diamonds. A sad smile spread across my face.
"Thank you so much for letting me plan your wedding, Bella!" Alice said, interrupting my train of thought. "It's going to be so great!"
At that moment, Edward walked into the room. I sighed with relief. He'd been hunting for the last two days, and I was about to crack. It was so good to see him.
"I've got to go finish decorating," said Alice.
"Ok," I said.
After she left, Edward and I were alone. He strode over and gently folded a hand on my waist. With the other he caressed my cheek. It was cold as ice, but soon that wouldn't matter.
I looked in his eyes and they were soft and innocent. He smiled that crooked smile that I loved so much, and leaned down to kiss me. How could I refuse? I fell into it wholeheartedly, his lips soft on mine.
He broke the kiss, to my reluctance, as he said, "I've missed you," bringing me closer to him.
I smiled. "I've missed you, too."
He inhaled deeply. "You know I'll miss that," he said. "Your amazing smell. The color in your face and the beat of your heart." He had his ear to my neck now, listening to it speed up.
"But you'll have me forever," I whispered back, snuggling closer to him.
"Yes," he continued. "I suppose that it's worth it." He leaned down to kiss me again, but was interrupted when Alice walked through the door. Her mouth was tight, in a grim line. Edwards face suddenly fell, his eyes turning from gold to black with rage.
"What?" I asked. "What is it?" He didn't answer me so I turned my face towards Alice.
"We have to cancel the wedding," she said, her low and menacing. "The priest is going to be ambushed by a Volturi. He's coming to watch your transformation but will kill you at the wedding in front of your parents. He won't be able to resist. We have to get you out of here."
I could only look at her, stunned. I didn't know what to say. More evil vampires? I couldn't believe how unlucky I was. Right before my wedding, right before Edward could turn me into a vampire, the Volturi barge in to turn me into one themselves. Didn't they have patience? You'd think they would, considering that they live forever.
But, I couldn't think about that right now. I had a wedding to cancel and parents to consult and try to make safe. This wasn't going well.
"Wait a minute," Alice's voice was soft but reassuring. "I have an idea."
"Oh no. I think we can wait." Edward jaw was firm.
"No, let me finish. Why don't we have the wedding tonight? Then we would get your parents to safety. If we bite you before the Volturi get to you, your smell will wear off and they won't attack you. You'll become a vampire just like you want." I just stared at her. "Right?" she pressed.
"Y... y... yes," I managed to stutter.
"But…" Edward presses.
"But," I continued, "I thought that I could have a proper wedding. And then I could say goodbye to my parents. So I could change into a vampire my way." My voice started to crack. "Now I can't, because the Volturi are coming. I have to rush through everything. I can't take it any more!" My breathing had become very heavy in my little outburst, and both Cullen's were staring at me with wide eyes. My eyes were getting wet, and I tried to stop it, but to no avail.
"Sweetie, don't cry," Edward said, pulling me closer to him. "Everything's going to be ok, you'll see. If you want, we can wait on the wedding.
"No!" I almost shouted. "We'll have the wedding tonight, and then, when my parents are gone, you'll bite me, so that when the other vampire gets here, he'll see my transformation." When I saw the disapproving look in Edward's eyes I set my jaw and glared back at him.
"Bella, I don't know about this."
"Edward, please. The sooner the better."
There was a long pause before he answered. "Ok. But we need a priest." He glanced at Alice for a moment and nodded. She grinned and practically danced out of the room.
"What is she doing?" I asked.
"She's going to marry us," Edward said, searching my face for any signs of anger or disapproval. I wasn't angry or disappointed. I was confused! Alice, little, tiny Alice, marrying us? I just couldn't picture it!
Edward laughed so hard, I thought he was going to keel over and die. Of course, he really can't die, so I could only sit there, stunned.
"Alice… is… going… to… ma… ma…"
"Marry us, yes," He finished for me. "Would you rather have it be Emmett?"
My shocked look made him laugher even harder, but this time I wanted him to.
"Ok," I said. "I'll go get changed while you go get changed. Our wedding's tonight. Now go." I stood on my toes and briefly touched his lips to mine before I left the room. When I turned around he was gone.
I went to the bathroom to change, after I got my dress. As I put it on, I realized that I couldn't zip the zipper. I peeked out of the bathroom door to call to Alice of Esme, but before I could take a breath, Edward was standing out side the door. He was looking radiant in his black tux, which stood out against his almost white skin. He was so gorgeous, and with me standing next to him was probably a sorry sight.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Not quite," I answered. "I can't get the zipper."
He smiled and swiftly moved behind me. I felt his cool hands against my back and grab the zipper by my waist. Slowly he brought the zipper up till it was at the end. He gently settled his hands on my hips. Suddenly, I was facing him. He looked into my eyes with so much passion that I couldn't help but lock his lips to mine. My hands found their ways to his hair and intertwined with it. I felt him tighten one hand around my waist while the other reached my neck. He forced me closer to him.
I had to breathe. I had to breathe really bad but I didn't want to ruin the moment. I just kept kissing him. But I couldn't take it anymore. I pulled away just in time to keep from suffocating. Edward chuckled and lifted me up into his arms to start carrying me downstairs.
When we got there I gasped. The room had been transformed to wedding paradise, even though it was small. There were two sections of white chairs with a white carpet in the middle. It led to an alter. At the alter stood Alice, she was reading from a tiny book from which I assumed was the wedding ceremony. She looked up at us and smiled.
"Hey, guys! Bella, I called your parents and they should be here any minute."
"They're already here," Edward said. "They're wondering why we're having the wedding tonight instead of tomorrow, but they won't ask questions."
"That's good." I sighed, relieved. "I didn't have a good reason."
"I did. I couldn't wait to marry you." I could only smile up at him.
The doorbell rang and out of nowhere all of the Cullen's were downstairs and dressed. Carlisle went to answer the door. In the doorway were Charlie, Renee, and Phil, all dressed and ready for the wedding.
"Welcome, welcome!" exclaimed Carlisle, opening the door wide to let them inside. "The priest couldn't make it so Alice will be taking his place."
"That's fine," said Renee. "Whatever makes Bella happy."
"Alright! Let me take you to your seats." Carlisle led my parents to the seats on the left, while the other Cullen's went to sit on the ones on the right. Edward and I went to stand at the end of the aisle, while Alice went up to the podium.
"It's time," whispered Edward in my ear. I shivered. He locked his elbow in mine and stood strait up, looking very formal. Even though he looked calm, I could see the exotic look in his eyes. He was excited… and nervous. The thought made me grin.
We started down the aisle and our "audience" stood to watch us come down it. The walk was very short and before I knew it I was at the alter, facing Edward.
"Dearly beloved," began Alice." We are gathered here today to join these two people in holy matrimony. May I have the rings please?" Edward gave them to her. She gave me Edwards and continued. "Isabella, take this ring and place it on his finger, saying: With this ring…"
"With this ring…"
"I thee wed…"
"I thee wed…"
"Through sickness and health…"
"Through sickness and health…"
"Through life and death…"
"Through life and death…"
"I will never leave you…"
"I will never leave you…"
"I will love you forever."
"I will love you forever."
"Now, Edward, take this ring and place it on her finger saying: With this ring…"
"With this ring…"
"I thee wed…"
"I thee wed…"
"Through sickness and health…"
"Through sickness and health…"
"Through life and death…"
"Through life and death…"
"I will never leave you…"
"I will never leave you…"
"I will love you forever."
"I will love you forever."
"Edward, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? To love, to cherish, and to hold? Forever and ever?"
"I do." He didn't stutter over the words. I knew I would. Oh, boy. Now it was my turn.
"Isabella, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love, to cherish, and to hold? Forever and ever?"
"I do."
"Are there any objections to this marriage?" Alice scanned the room for any resentment. "Then I now pronounce you husband and…"
All of a sudden, the door burst open and something huge and hairy came barging in. It barked and growled and lunged at Edward. Carlisle intercepted it and took the blow. He and the monster were rolling down the aisle. It took me not even a half second to realize who it was.
"Jacob! What are you doing?!" Uh-oh. I should not have said that.
Charlie looked from me to the monster. "Jacob?"
HAHAHA!! Im okay. It feels refreshing to leave a cliffy... maybe Im not ok... oh well. Sorry if there were mistakes... I dont want them there either. Review please!! They will make me happy and make me write more.
