Chapter 1

It was Tuesday night and we were in the car driving home from school when Edward said, "Bella dear would you mind coming around my house tonight, Alice has something she would like to show you?"

I was shocked that he even had to ask. "Of course Edward I would love to come around your house." "Ok I'll see you at 7 round my house."

I was puzzled. He normally came to pick me up or he would stay. I leant over and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "Bye Edward, I'll see you later."

I climbed out the car and walked quickly over to my door. When I reached it I turned and gave Edward a quick wave, then I headed indoors.

I went through the house turning on the lights until I reached the kitchen where I began to make Charlie's dinner. I decided on an easy spaghetti bolognaise as I was leaving later. I

had just finished making it when I heard Charlie's car pull up. When I heard the door open I shouted out, "Dad, I'm in the kitchen." "Ok! Bells I'll be there in a minute."

He walked into the kitchen hiding his hands behind his back. "Dad what is behind your back?" He blushed and looked guilty. "Ummm. I have a surprise for you!" I groaned and said "ok what is it?"

he handed me a small blue box cautiously I slowly opened it only to find inside it was the most beautiful necklace I have ever seen.

It was on a sliver chain and had two charms the first was a sliver crescent moon with a diamond star on the end and the second charm was a topaz 3D heart. "Dad." I gushed. "You shouldn't have!"

"Do you like it?" "Of course I do. It is beautiful. But whats the occasion?" "Oh so I need an occasion to give my baby girl a present. I was just driving by the jewellery store when it caught my eye and reminded me of you." I stared at the topaz heart and couldn't help but notice that the heart was the same colour of Edwards's eyes right now.

I put on the necklace, took a deep breath and said "Dad, Alice invited me around her house tonight. Do you mind if I go? (Dad still doesn't like Edward. You know cause of the whole James, runaway thingie mabobie.)

"Of course Bells you go have fun. I'll be ok for one night." I sighed in relief. "What time you going?" "Umm ten to seven?"

"Well you better go and get ready then it is already half six." I jumped and ran upstairs. From my closet I grabbed my black jeans and a black jumper.

From my draws I grabbed my white short sleeved T-shirt and then I rushed to put it all on. When I was dressed I walked over to my mirror and looked at my hair it was a mess. I grabbed my brush and was pulling the bristles through it until it was all smooth and straight. I pulled it up into a messy bun then I gave myself a last look in the mirror. I didn't bother with perfume I knew my blood was sweet enough. I ran downstairs and put on my new necklace.

"Ok dad I'm leaving!" "See ya Bells. Have fun!" "I will. Bye dad."

At five to seven I pulled up outside Edwards house and casually walked up to the door. As usual before I could reach the door it opened but instead of revealing Edward I saw Emmett standing in the doorway.

"Hey sister!" I rolled my eyes at him but inside it felt good to be accepted. "Where's Edward?" "He is in the woods with Alice."

"Why does Alice want me here?" "Umm I am sorry but I am not allowed to say." He had the decency to look ashamed. "You do realise that Alice is a very small vampire?" "Yes, but I also know firsthand that it is better to let Alice do as Alice pleases or it can get very ugly and very painful."

"Come on sis. Climb on my back." "Where are we going?" "We are meeting the rest of the family at a clearing in the woods." "Why didn't Edward meet me?" "Alice wanted him for something." Uh oh I thought. This is not going to be good.

"Ok, I'm ready." I said when I was comfortably on his back. He took off running and within a few minutes we were at a clearing. When we were at a stop I jumped off his back and started running over to Edward but I was stopped by Alice because she suddenly appeared in front of me.

She grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the middle of the clearing. "Why am I here?" I asked Alice worried now. "We are having a give Bella presents night and I saw that here would be a good place to have it as there is nowhere for you to run.

I gasped and turned my glare on Edward. He looked apologetic as my gaze turned pleading. "Sorry." He mouthed. Then I just glared at Alice.

Until she said "Rosalie you go first." Rosalie glided over to me with a bored expression on her face. "Here." She said and handed me a gold parcel about the size of an A4 sheet of paper. Inside was a chocolate brown notebook.

I opened it and it was lined. "I thought you could use it for school or something." "Umm thanks Rosalie its umm really pretty." "I also thought it matched your eyes." And with that she walked back over to her spot in the circle around me. Then Emmett stepped forward with a big grin on his face as he handed me a large squishy package.

"Alice picked it out for you." I unwrapped it and inside was a clutch bag. It was burnt orange in colour with sliver sequins sown on in the shape of an eye. I stared down at it and smiled. I looked up with a small smile on my face. "Thanks." I mumbled. The Esme and Carlisle stepped forward and gave me a bright blue box about 25cm squared.

I opened it and inside was a pair of topaz earrings in the shape of a heart. They matched my necklace. "Oh thanks I love them." And I put them in my new bag. The Alice skipped forwards and shoved three parcels at me.

The first was sliver and inside was a top. The top was orange and a strap top but long it would come halfway down my thigh I was wearing it.

The second parcel contained a pair of blue normal jeans and the final parcel contained a pair of silver sandals, a pair of sunglasses and an orange bag with a white horse on it.

I stared soundlessly at the clothes. "Bella do you like them. I picked them out because I see us going to a club on Saturday." I just nodded. "Bella do you like them. Please say something?"

Her voice was strained and worried. In the end I just couldn't keep quiet anymore. But I was still stunned. So I just whispered "oh Alice." And threw myself at her.

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you." "Ok, ok I get it calm down. They are from Jasper as well you know?"

"Oh!" I turned to face Jasper as Alice bounded away towards her spot.

"Thank you Jasper." Jasper nodded and smiled at me.

Then Edward walked over to me and I frowned but all he said was "bare with me." Then he handed me a black present.

I slowly opened it and inside was a charm bracelet with, a shopping bag, a sword, a smiley face, a question mark, a boxing glove, a small mirror, a heart and a freesia. I was puzzled for a moment until I realized that that the charms represented each member of my vampiric family. Alice, Jasper, Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, Rosalie, Edward and the flower represented me.

I was smiling at everyone that is until we heard a high pitched noise. "Oh My God! What is that noise?" then I smelt it. BLOOD! I turned around and saw that a deer had slipped on a rock at the end of the clearing and had a large gash up the side of its leg.

"No!" I heard Edward shout and turned just in time to see Rosalie lung at me. Edward was instantly in front of me and Alice was shoving me back.

Carlisle grabbed me and began running away with me in his arms.

In moments we were at their house but I wasn't put down until we reached the living room. Where I was put on the couch.

Esme was suddenly next to me holding my hand. Carlisle turned on the tv and we all pretended to watch it.

I couldn't concentrte though and I kept glancing at the clock.

5 minutes.

15 minutes.

20 minutes.

Until finally at 9 they walked in. Edward was first closely followed by Alice then Jasper. There was no sign of Emmett or Rosalie.

"Where is Rosalie?" I asked Edward.

"Ummm, she is somewhere calming down." Said Edward reluctantly after a pause. Then he continued. "It is time for you to go home now Bella."

"Ok bye everyone." I said as I left the room.

I waved and walked over to my truck. "you can drive today." Edward told me.

We drove home in silence. When we pulled up in front of my house I took a deep breath and asked. "Will you stay?"

"Not tonight." Edward said then he was gone. Running off into the night.

This is my first chapter and I won't write any more until I get a review and I know this is a lot like Stephanie Meyers book but it will be different I swear, so if you want to know more read and review.
