Chapter 2: Birthday
Abigail's POV
"Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday dear Abigail! Happy Birthday To You!" everyone sang to me before urging me to blow out my candles. Today was my birthday. My 10th birthday to be exact. I have been living my second life for exactly ten years. Which means that I am really 27 years old, but to the people of this world, I'm only 10. Kinda annoying to pretend that this is my first time being alive. Or whatever it is that I am. I guess I am alive, even though I technically died, it was all really confusing sometimes.
It's been a very interesting and very hard 10 years to say the least. Apparently my second chance at life was in some sort of alternate universe. The Twilight universe to be exact. It was freaky weird. I was now Charlie's and Renee's daughter as well as Bella's younger sister. Bella was only a year older than I was. On the other hand, my second life has been an extreme pain in the butt. First there was the whole baby thing. I absolutely hated it! I mean, I could not do a single thing for myself! I was totally dependent on someone else for everything that I needed! For goodness sakes I was already driving when I died and suddenly I had to rely on someone else just for a diaper change?! Talk about annoying! I learned to walk and talk as fast as I could so that I could gain some independence. The one thing I was not looking forward to at all was puberty. I mean, come on! I already went through puberty once! Who the hell wants to go through puberty again! Not me! But oh well, I did not have a choice! I guess...
Obviously I'm also very smart from my supposed age. Right before I had started school my parents had my intelligence tested because I had shown levels of advanced intelligence and, of course, I tested at near college level. I say near college because I was taking AP classes in Chemistry, English, Spanish, and History. Rather than skip school entirely I chose to only skip a single grade that way Bella could be in all of my classes with me. At least I would know someone, and I would have someone to protect me from all of the bullies that loved to go after me. Bella took it upon herself to protect me from everything and everyone. Sometimes it could be a bit annoying, but other times I greatly appreciated it. Bella really was the best big sister that anyone could have. I loved her dearly and sometimes I wish she was there for me in my first life. I could have used a sister like her then.
Now Bella and I are both in 5th grade. We are both very shy and we don't have too many friends around school. But we didn't mind. It was the quality of friends that you had, not the quantity that really mattered.
Jacob is the only guy friend that we have. We love to play with him and hang out with him when Bella and I visit dad in Forks. His father was a friend of dad's, so that meant that we got to visit Jacob a lot. I think Jacob has a crush on Bella, Bella just doesn't realize it though.
"Come on Abigail, it's time to open your presents!" mom shouted to get my attention.
"Okay, I'm coming" I said excitedly. I loved opening presents. That was always fun.
My dad had sent me 100 dollars for my birthday. My mom got me a lot of clothes. My best friend got me a movie that she knew I wanted. Then that was it.
"Wait Abby, there is one more thing" Bella said before leaving. Abby was a nickname that Bella had given to me when we were younger. She came back in with what looked like a crate that had been wrapped up. "This one is from me"
I opened it up and saw a small, white German Shepherd puppy inside.
"You mean he's mine!" I said excitedly.
"Yeah he's all yours. Lizzy's two German Sherpherds mated and had a litter of puppies eight weeks ago. I knew you wanted a dog badly so, with mom's permission, I got him for you"
I took out the small, innocent puppy and held him tightly. "Thank you Bella!" I said happily.
"But Abigail. There is one more thing" mom said.
"Okay, sure, what is it?" I asked her, not even bothering to contain the excitement that I felt.
"He is your responsibility. You have got to walk him, train him, and feed him"
"Don't worry. I will" I promised.
So that is how I got to where I am now. Glaring at the 'innocent' puppy that was smirking at me. Yes, my new puppy can smirk. Why you may ask? I just found out that the dog is really Archie, my guardian angel who is supposed to watch over me. Stupid Archie. Stupid, annoying, stupid, and absolutely irritating..
"I can hear you, you know!" he says to me.
"You can hear my thoughts!" I scream in my head and begin to panic.
"I sure can" he grins evilly.
I grit my teeth in absolute annoyance.
"Well why don't you read my thoughts now!" I started to think about a stream of cuss words.
"Hey!" he yips "Don't you use that sort of language. Not only is it unbiblical and ungodly, but a girl your age should not even know these words" he growls for emphasis.
"In case you are forgetting Archie I'm really 27 years old. I'm not a kid" He just bares his teeth at me in annoyance and I shove him away from me.
