Breaking dawn.

Chapter 1- Bridal Shower. (Ill update if you like :D)

The enormous suite on the top floor of the hotel over looked all of downtown Seattle. My mother, Alice, Angela, Rosalie, and Esme were with me in this massive suite. I can only imagine how much Alice had spent on it. Alice sent me and my mother to an astonishing restaurant called Volterra just a few minutes outside of Seattle. Alice thought it would be humorous, and I have to admit even though I dreaded people spending money on me, the name of the restaurant made me laugh.

I was surrounded by a mind blowing amount of presents that I honestly didn't want to open. But I knew I had to, to make Alice happy.

"BELLA! Come on open the presents already you HAVE to see what I bought you!" Alice said loudly walking out of the suites kitchen, which was nicer than any kitchen I had ever seen.

"Alright" I agreed.

Alice had a big smile on. I could tell she knew the reactions I was going to get out of the presents. Which probably made it much easier for her to buy them actually knowing that I would like them.

The gifts from Alice were wrapped in red wrapping paper and white silk bows. The first one I picked up to open was a very petite compared to the others. As I lifted the top of the white box I was actually presently surprised.

"Alice, It's… beautiful!" It was a lacy, light blue garter. It had hundreds of tiny Swarovski crystals embedded in it. My eye's started to tear up; I was actually starting to realize how close the wedding was. Everything was starting to hit me, and for once I was completely excited for the wedding. "Really, it's amazing. I even have something blue now."



"Of course, no need to thank me. I didn't even spend one dime on it, I figured that would make you happier." Alice explained. Even though Alice didn't pay anything for it, I knew I couldn't expect that from the other gifts.

"That garter is simply gorgeous!" My mother said excitedly. She wasn't so happy I was getting married so young, I could see it in her eyes though she never actually complained that much. "Where did you find something as exquisite as that?" My mother questioned Alice.

"Actually, it was my grandma's, she wore it at her wedding. Her name was Alice also." Alice winked at me. It hit me then that it wasn't her grandmas at all, it was Alice's. Knowing it was hers made me a bit more emotional then I had expected. "I'm so glad you like it Bella, you're going to look beautiful next week."

Angela and Rosalie were getting along which made me happy, because I didn't want Angela feeling out of place since she didn't hangout around Alice and Rosalie that often. They were enjoying the gift Emmett and Jasper gave me, it was a new game system from Nintendo that I had no Idea how to use. They got me it so I wouldn't be bored out of my mind in Seattle for a weekend. They both were in a zombie like stage, moving the game controller around like they were playing a real tennis match. Alice threw a pillow at Rosalie's head to grab her attention.

"You suck. you just made me miss the ball." Rosalie said irritated to Alice, She picked up the pillow and threw it back at Alice as hard as she could.

"Wow," my mom said "You might want to talk to Phil. you have quite a good throw if I must say." I'm sure if my mom knew the truth, that they were super strengthen vampires, she wouldn't be saying that.

Rosalie nodded and smiled cracked a smile. She and Angela made their way over to the couch where the rest of us were all gathered around. Angela mouthed the words sorry to me. I nodded. I really wasn't bothered that they were playing the games. I was glad someone was putting in the game to use, because I know I defiantly wasn't going to.

After an hour of opening presents from Alice and Rosalie, I finished up opening them. Of course they really did out do themselves. I received a cell phone that was only a screen, clothes, lingerie that I am too modest to wear, makeup, books on how to be a newlywed, and gift cards.

Angela had given me my bridal gift the week before. She bought me plates and house utensils because I told her me and Edward would be moving soon after the wedding so we could go to college and be together.



I lifted up the last present, it was from my mother. As I opened it I had no idea what it was going to be. I tried to open the present without ruining the wrapping paper. I opened the silver box and my mouth dropped, I was in awe. I recognized exactly what it was. It was the same necklace my mom had worn at her wedding. The necklace was simple and that's what I loved about it. It had three pearls with small diamonds in the middle of each one.

"Mom!" I threw my arms over her and hugged her. "I love it! Thank you" I said still clinging to my mom.

"Your welcome sweetie. I love you, Bella." My mom said softly in my ear.

"I love you too." I said back.

A camera flashed in the background. Esme was snapping pictures. She had a plan to create a photo album of the whole experience of the wedding, From Alice working on inventions, all up to the day of the wedding. I made her promise me not to buy me a gift, so we compromised and we decided on this being my gift.

I turned around to Esme and the rest of the girls and smiled.

"Thank you all for coming, you mean so much to me, every one of you." I said and smiled.

"Everyone get together!" Esme said with excitement. She set up the camera and put it on self timer. We all stood in front of the window that over looked the water, and smiled. I could hear the sound of the TV in background. The news vaster was talking about a massacre that happened in a neighborhood in Merville, Canada. The flash of the camera was peculiarly bright and made me a little dizzy.

"Ahh" I said putting my hands in front of my eye.

"Are you alright?"My mother said letting her motherly instincts take over.

"Yes mom, I'm fine. I just need something to drink that's all" I assured her. I looked over at Alice and Rosalie. Rosalie had immediately started watching the news. I examined Alice's face a bit better. I could tell she was seeing something, something bad.

I made my way into the kitchen cautious not to trip over any boxes. I grabbed a bottle of water out of the refrigerator. Angela had followed me into the small kitchen.

"Wow, I never realized the Cullen's were this... Rich, you know? I mean this suite is massive, it's bigger then my house." Even though I had gotten use to the fact that my boyfriend and his family were extremely wealthy, and they didn't hide it. I had to agree with Angela, the suite was MASSIVE. I didn't even realize they could fit something like this into a hotel.



"Hah, Yeah" I said agreeing. "So, how are you and Ben doing? Is he going to be coming to the wedding?"

"Were good, but I don't think he will be coming. Him and his dad and in California for a fishing trip" She said sounding a bit disappointed.

"Well, I promise you that you will be fine without him." I tried to re assure her "Let's go onto the balcony.

Rosalie and Alice were talking. The look on their faces didn't seem pleasant. I recognized it.

"Why don't you just meet me out there? I have to talk to Alice." I asked Angela. She nodded and headed out the door, my mother and Esme followed her.

"What's wrong, I know that look." I demanded to know. I hated the fact that they were being sneaky, especially after what had just happened in the past month with Victoria and the new-born vampires.

"It's really nothing," Rosalie tried to assure me "It's just that..." I could tell she didn't want to say what she was about to say. Her phone began to ring, "Oh Emmet's calling me!" She answered the phone then sped off into the other room.

"So if she's telling me, you are." My mind was going a million different ways; I didn't want another vampire after me AGAIN. At 18 I think I have my fair with vampires, I'm sure no other teenage girl can say that a mob a newborn vampires and 3 raging adults vampires wanted her killed.

"It's the Volturi's." She said trying to find the right words. "They know about the wedding. I think they're going to come."

"That means…." I said with little excitement.

"It means you have to be turned soon after it." She said.

"Well, that's not as bad as I thought." I said, "Why was Rosalie worried about that massacre in Canada?" I asked.

"We always need to be careful, that was just a false alarm." She explained to me. "The was a human, not a vampire." She told me, "You know, not all vampires are bad! Just because there's a massacre doesn't mean it's some vampire! But, you know you do smell very good tonight" She said jokingly.

Rosalie walked into the room, still talking on the phone to Emmett.



"I love you too, I'll give her to phone." Rosalie said into the phone. "Bella, Edward wanted to talk to you!"

Ah, Edward I thought to myself. This was one of the few times we were actually apart. I hated being away from him. Even though I knew I was protected I felt as if I wasn't.
