Surprise guests
Today is my birthday and normally we wouldn't be celebrating but ten is a big step. Even though I'm turning ten today I look and feel like an eighteen year old. I can't believe it's been ten years since my family and friends confronted the Volturi to persuade them to let me live.
There was a knock on my bedroom door and in walked my parents.
"Happy Birthday!" my Dad shouted as he walked through the door. "Wow ten years old. I remember being ten and that was a long time ago."
"Come on and get dressed, we're going to Carlisle's."
"I thought we were just staying in today. You know a quiet day."
"So did we but you know what Alice gets like when there's a reason for a party." Said mum. I hated big, over the top parties. Alice's favourite.
"Do we have to go?"
"Alice has put a lot of effort into this party" Put the guilt on me why don't you?
My mum and dad left the room and I searched through my wardrobe and found a top and some jeans and went downstairs.
"Put something smarter on Renesmee."
"It's just a small party it's not like the president is going to turn up is it."
"Don't put it past Alice."
I went back up stairs and put one of my 'smarter' tops on that rarely come out of the wardrobe. These clothes have of course been supplied by Alice. I went back downstairs and together we left the house. As we ran to Carlisle's I saw the famous fairy lights that come out for every party. As we reached the house more and more lights appeared and I knew that this was not a small party.
Dad opened the door and as we walked upstairs I could hear music getting louder and louder. As we got to the top of the stairs I could see Carlisle and Esme standing at the door. We walked in and my dad was right when he said Alice could have invited the president. Everyone seemed to be there. Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie were in one corner. Jacob, Leah and Seth were in another corner while Charlie, Renée and Phil were talking amongst themselves in the middle of them.
They were the only people I would have invited but Alice had not stopped there. What seemed like all the vampires that had helped me ten years ago were there. Tanya, Carmen and Eleazar were there from the Denali coven. Tia, Benjamin, Amun and Kebi were there talking to Zafrina.
"Happy Birthday Nessie! Do you like what I've done to the place for you." Said Alice.
"I love it" I lied.
"I invited some friends and your human family and the dogs because Jacob insisted on coming because you what he's like. Drooling all over you like a dog."
In the corner there was a pile of presents that seem to go on forever. That was the only advantage of a big party, more presents. While circulating the room and making sure that I talked to everyone, the doorbell rang.
"Finally he's arrived" Alice screamed as she ran downstairs to the door. I heard the door open and close. Who was there left to come to the party? I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Finally at the top of the stairs emerged Alice and closely behind her came Nahuel the only other person in the world like me.
