Chapter 2: Carlisle Cullen

Nessie's POV

I still couldn't quite believe that I had a shot of taking over as the next Santa. It had always been a dream of mine to become the next Santa Clause. There was nothing that I loved more then giving and helping others. But I never thought that I'd actually have the chance to take over my father's job for two reasons. Number one my brother was my father's biological son and number two only men have ever filmed the shoes of Santa.

I went back to my room and started to get ready and pack some of the things that I would need. I was also excited that I would be going on this trip. It wasn't very often that I got to leave the North Pole which made this trip all the more exciting.

Most of my birthday was spent getting ready for the trip, but I didn't mind in the least. In all honesty this was the best present I had ever received.

I went to bed that night feeling more excited then I had in a long time. It felt like only minutes after I had fallen asleep that I was waking up again.

When I went to the stables to get Comet he started to put up a fuss. You see, much like my father, I can understand what the reindeer are saying, it's all part of the Christmas magic. Everybody else just hears a bunch of reindeer noises.

"But I do I have to go? Why don't you take Prancer instead?" he asked as I led him out of the stables.

"Because I don't want to take Prancer. You're my best buddy. I want to take a trip with you. Besides last night Prancer ate way to many apples at dinner and we both know what that means"

He sighed.

"Besides did I forget to mention that we are going to go see Charlie and Lucy?" that did it. Just mentioning Charlie and Lucy always made him happy. He loved those two as much as he loved me.

I went to the take off area where my brother was already. It wasn't long before my mother and father appeared.

"Now you be careful you two" mom said. "take care of yourselves" My mother looked like she was about to cry. I went over to her and gave her a hug and kiss.

"We'll been fine mom. I promise" I said.

"Yeah mom we'll be okay" Buddy said.

"Aren't you kids going to give your old man a hug?" my dad was pretending to be offended.

"I'll miss you dad" I said as I gave him a hug.

"Me to" Buddy said.

"and your mother and I will miss you both" dad said. "Oh and don't forget what we told you"

"Don't let our magic get to zero. Oh, and we can't reveal who we are" I said.

"Good. Now you two better get going" I said.

I got on Comet and made myself comfortable. "Okay Comet let's go" I said.

I held onto the reins tightly as Comet took off. I pulled on the reins and steered him toward the hole. I looked back and saw my brother behind me.

I loved flying. I really did. It was quite often that I took rides on the reindeer and many times my father takes me for a ride in his sleigh on Christmas Eve.

I think the hardest part about flying is choosing the altitude to fly at. You don't want to run into airplanes, but you don't want to be seen from the ground earlier.

Once I was sure I was getting close to Chicago I began to descend through the clouds. The city lights contrasted agains the night sky beautifully. I saw a forest just outside of the city that was the perfect place to land.

"Okay Comet we're going to land in the woods over there" I said.

"Okay"

As soon as we landed I jumped off of him.

"Comet you're going to have to stay here for now" I said.

"What? Why?"

"Because it would be a little suspicious to walk into town with a reindeer. Don't you think? Don't worry Charlie and Lucy will come see you. A lot I might add. I'll be around a lot to"

"Okay" I knew he wasn't happy with the arrangement but he agreed to it any way. I would come visit him all the time. I wasn't worried about anything happening to him either. Santa's reindeer are magical and therefore can evade any predators no matter how fast or strong they are.

I gave him a kiss on the snout and began my walk through the woods. I was surprised when I came across a large and clear house. It was so light and open. I had never seen anything like it before.

"Hello there" a voice behind me said. I jumped and then clutched my chest as it began to beat really fast.

It was a young blond man. He looked about 23 years old. He was also extremely pale and he had the oddest gold eyes.

"Are you okay young lady? What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I'm okay. I just got lost" I said.

"Did you happen to see a horse running around here?" he asked. Oh crap! He must have heard when Comet was landing! When reindeer fly their hooves make the same noise that a horse's does when running.

"No" I said. "Why?"

"My family and I thought we heard one. Any way maybe I can help you. I'm Carlisle Cullen. Who are you?"

"I'm Renesmee Cla- Calvin" I wanted to slap myself for almost slipping up. Number one rule is to never say that my last name is Clause.

"Well Ms. Calvin it's nice to meet you" he said.

"It's nice to meet you to" I said as I shook his hand. Whoa was his hand freezing!

"I'm actually looking for my brother Charlie Calvin. Do you know where he lives by any chance?" I asked.

"I think so. Does he have a sister named Lucy?"

"Yes" I said.

"Then I know exactly where he lives. I can take you to him if you'd like" he offered. I can already see that he was a kind, good man. I liked him already.

"I would love that" I said with a smile.
