Prom Nights From Hell
Author's Note;
hi guys! the new year has come and gone, and it is with great joy that i wish you had a good one. ive written several stories before but after great consideration, i decided to delete all of my previous works and start anew. if you havent read any of my works before, then i encourage you to read onwards and find something that you like in this story, or read another of my stories when i finally start a new one. with this brand new idea of mine, inspired by a book i've recently taken an interest in, i hope to find something that you guys find admirable.
Summary;
Inspired by the book written between Meg Cabot and Stephenie Meyer, i've decided to write my own 'prom nights from hell' story based upon Stephenie's best-selling saga, The Twilight Saga. This story will however be much longer then those inside the published Prom Nights From Hell book (i highly recommend it!). In this story, the Cullen's have recently moved to Denali, nearby Tanya's coven, and started at a new school, of which is for the extremely educated. The first school prom is quickly approaching, and Bella finds that she's living in a replay of her very first prom in Forks, where several guys are asking her. Completely Bella's POV
Chapter One; Home Again.
Racing swiftly across the lush green grass, my feet moved gracefully, reminding me of my immortal existence. Having recently moved to Denali, located in Alaska, I was once again expecting the cool weather of which I had experienced in Forks, and even though the cold had no effect of me these days, I still had a distaste for rain and snow. Being able to feel grass beneath the bare soles of my small feet was luxurious, and I found myself slowing so as to prevent my departure from the soft grass and my entry back onto the rough snow. Although in movies snow was described as beauty, I had recently found that Forks was not the only place where this seemingly beautiful snow ceased to exist. In Denali, the snow was rough and hard to touch, as well as the fact that it fell in lumps, rather then flakes. Recently, I had found that I detested Denali a fair bit. Whilst living next to the Denali coven was uncomfortable, for Tanya had still not gotten over Edward, that was merely nothing compared to some of the other horrors I faced daily. Attending Julianna's School for the exceptionally educated was complete horror, for i had not the knowledge that my siblings had, and my teachers regularly told me that i should learn from them. Although i was still very near top of all my classes, Edward tutored me whenever he could so I could live up to the Cullen name. I'd already noticed the difference in my work since the start of the year, and my teachers were not oblivious to that fact either. I smiled slightly as Edward, whom was running beside myself, reached up and touched my face, pulling me quickly out of my thoughts. The desirable lust that I felt every time he touched me had not yet ceased, and lately he used that to his every advantage. Being a man meant having more needs then a woman, apparently.
"Bella, my love, now what's bothering you?" his eyebrows creased downwards as he tried to unravel my mind.
My shield still intact, I refused to let him into my mind, even though we'd perfected this just a couple of months after I thought of the idea.
( Author's Note;
sorry for the interruption but i thought i'd insert that at the very end of breaking dawn Bella attempts to push her shield away from her and let Edward into her mind. She does succeed but only for a few moments before Edward intterupts her with his desire. This is what I'm talking about up there.^)
Edward frowned when I allowed him no entry, and his confusion appeared momentarily on his face. Even though I immediately felt guilty, I tried to keep my determination; letting Edward into my mind would only hurt our connection with the Denali coven even more. He would see how much I disliked the place and then immediately take me away to someplace where I would prefer, and although the idea was tempting, I was not nearly selfish enough to act upon it.
"Please, love, let me see what's bothering you. I could make it better, I promise." Edward tried to persuade me.
I shook my head lightly, my dark hair, curled just this morning by Alice, rolling slowly.
"Edward, I can't. I'm really sorry, honestly I am, but if I show you, then you might do something you'd further regret. Please understand for me."
I watched Edward's face turn emotionless as he tried to hide his confusion and hurt from me, and immediately regretted my decision, and yet I knew that I still would not show him if given the chance. I tried to meet his gaze, but Edward immediately averted his eyes, only making me feel hurt as well.
"Let us continue home, for surely we are merely a few seconds from our family." He tried to ease the tension, yet his tone was still rigid.
I merely nodded before he sped off, and although my speed had proven not to be just newborn strength, I found that I could not catch him. When the hardened snow of Denali met my toes, it was with a sort of joy that replaced the disappointment, for I was home and would be able to see Nessie once again. It was seven years from my beautiful daughter's birth, and, as promised by Nahuel, she had finally stopped growing. With the appearance of an eighteen year old, she was happy for she was able to do as she pleased without having the bindings of being a child restricting her. With our ages so alike, for we both appeared eighteen, Nessie and I had become extremely close and found best friends in each other just as I had Rose and Alice. It was pleasing, for our closeness had stopped the rebellion that every mother experienced with their teenage daughter. The first sight of our mansion, for there was no other word to describe the size of our house, stopped my train of thought, and I immediately raced towards the door, shoving it open and gliding into the grand foyer. There, my entire family awaited me. Although I knew it was slightly rude, I payed no attention to the faces of my loved ones other then the daughter I searched for. When our eyes finally met, she leapt for her seat and raced towards me. The movement took not even a tenth of a second, and yet I felt like it had been too long since she had been in my arms. When I was finally able to embrace her, I rested my head upon her beautiful bronze hair.
"Mumma, you're home!" she murmured excitedly, sounding exactly like the seven year old she should have been.
I released her and took in her appearance with gratitude. Her skin looked as beautifully pale as ever, although it was slightly darker then the shade of my own. Her hair, hanging limply on her right shoulder, was coloured a close resemblance to Edward's. Her face was in every way perfect, with perfectly full lips and eyes mimicking the beautiful brown of my own human eyes, and she appeared only slightly shorter then myself.
"Of course I'm home, sweetie. How could I ever stay away from you?" I replied.
We exchanged loving smiles before I took her hand and dragged her next to me, instead of in front of me. Only then did the rest of the family step forward to greet me, after having given me my personal time with Nessie. I immediately saw Edward, seated in the corner alone, unmoving as the rest of the family stood to greet me. I simply acknowledged his presence with a nod before Esme took me in her arms.
"My sweet Bella, I hope you've fed well. Judging from the colour of your eyes, you have, though. We all missed you dearly." she murmured before releasing me and stepping aside to hand me over to the next person in line.
"It's nice to have you safely home, Bella." Carlisle hugged me quickly before letting Rosalie through.
"I missed you Bella, and so did Nessie. She was a complete bore while she worried over if you would return or run away with dear Edward," Rosalie giggled.
Emmett was the next to welcome me home with a quick hug, and then Jasper and finally Alice.
"Bella! Oh my gosh, your daughter was totally not cool while you were gone! She wouldnt even let us give her a makeover to cheer her up or anything! It was so unfair!" Alice pouted as she hugged me viciously.
"And this is depressing how?" I winked down at her before releasing her.
Alice just pouted and stamped away, leaving me with only Jacob to greet next.
"I missed you Bells." he whispered as he leaned in to hug me.
Clutching him tightly to my pale body, I found that I never wanted to let go. These days, whenever Edward got mad, Jacob was my comfort and I was truly grateful to him. He had proved himself right for Nessie, and although we still loved each other, now it was truly not romantic in any way possible.
"I missed you too, Jake" I clutched him tighter to me before sighing and releasing his warm body.
He winked at me and then Nessie before going to stand next to Emmett. The only person left in the room who I hadn't greeted was Edward and it seemed oddly stupid to greet him after he'd been with me. There was an awkward pause whilst we all waited for someone to break the silence. After a while, I sighed and turned to Nessie.
"Hey Ness, are you hungry? They didn't starve you, did they?" I joked, although with a truly worried hint to my tone.
"Mum, I'm eighteen remember? Whenever I was hungry, I either cooked something myself or Esme offered."
I smiled at Esme, knowing that Ness would have asked her every time. Esme was an amazing cook, especially for someone who had no needs to eat.
Slowly, the room started to clear out. Jacob and Emmett went to have a wrestling match in the woods, Carlisle retreated to his office, Esme went to clean the kitchen, Rosalie and Ness went to give eachother make-overs, and soon it was only Edward, Alice and myself left.
"What's up with you guys?" Alice asked abruptly.
"What do you mean?" I knew exactly what she meant and yet didn't want to be the one to admit it.
"You've been all awkward ever since you got here, and neither of you have spoken a word to each other." she pointed out.
"Look, Alice, could you maybe give us a little privacy then? I need to talk to Bella alone for once." Edward snapped at her.
Alice looked slightly taken aback by his harsh tone, but left the room quickly after shooting me a bewildered look. I tried to smile reassuringly at her before she left but I was sure there was at least a little negativity in it. When it was only Edward and I left, he got up and took my hand.
"I'd rather if we retreated to our house, for that way we'll have more privacy." he murmured in my ear.
I nodded woodenly before following him to our house, hidden in the woods beyond the mansion. Even though there was no need for us to live seperately anymore, Esme had built us another house when we moved here. It could hardly compare to the cottage but it was still amazing, as well as larger and a true family home for Edward, Ness, Jake and I to live in. When we got there, Edward raced through to the loungeroom, lifting me off my feet and placing me on the couch.
"We need to talk," he ordered as he sat on the chair opposite.
