Chayton's POV

It was the morning of the wedding, and everything was extremely hectic. I didn't know why Alice even cared for the place to look like a damn castle, since the only guests had been here before, I don't think it mattered much to them.

Half of the guests were in the wedding party anyways.

Except me, of course, I had lived here for a while now. The vampire stench didn't hurt my nose anymore, it really wasn't that bad once you got used to it.

I would have left years ago if it wasn't for her. Elle was the center of my universe, and I couldn't imagine being away from her for even a day. Even this morning was running long since she was off doing all this getting-ready sort of stuff. She didn't need any of it, I knew. She would have looked just as cute if she walked down with her hair all snarled and dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.

"This tux makes me look like a working stiff," I heard Embry grown a few feet away from me. He was looking in the mirror, and I had to agree, he did look weird all dressed up.

"Well, at least yours doesn't make you look like you gained thirty pounds," Quil fake-whined from beside him. Embry broke in to a smile and punched him in the arm.

"Cut it out," Sam said, walking up to them and placing one hand on each of their shoulders, "You two know you love these tux's."

They all chuckled and split apart to do their own things.

I heard faint little steps from outside the doorway, and then a few quick knocks.

"Can I come in?" Her sweet, angelic voice asked in an innocent way. My smile must have touched my eyes as I realized who it was.

"No, we're naked!" Quil called out, and then chuckled a bit more.

I rolled my eyes, "You can come in, Elle," I said lightly as I stood up.

She entered the room, closing the door gently behind her. I swear, everything about her was perfect and frail, she never made much noise. I supposed it was how everyone could hear her every move in this house. Her brother was the same.

She had her hair in curlers, and was dressed in a button down white shirt and jeans. She could have walked down like that, throwing flowers, and would have looked absolutely amazing.

"Aunt Alice is stressing me out," she folded her hands in front of her and looked down like she was ashamed to admit it, and then looked up, "I was wondering if any of you needed anything. Like something to drink or something."

She looked at me first, and I shook my head, "No, but thank you Elle," I told her calmly. I wasn't really thirsty and I didn't want to have her do anything for me.

"I'll have a Diet Coke," Embry announced to her. She jumped a little at his booming voice.

I glared at him, but he pretended he didn't see me.

"How about you Quil? Or Sam?" They both smiled politely and shook their heads like I had. They both had imprints, they understood it.

She smiled slightly and giggled, "Good, I don't think I could carry more than one, I'm a klutz," she giggled once more and exited the room silently.

Then I remembered that she only acted that way when other people were around. The only people she ever let hear her talk loud and didn't act so damn calm around were me, her mother, and Jacy.

Embry laughed once he had heard she was a few steps away from the door, "Geez, where does she get all this calmness from? Nessie isn't calm in the least, and neither is Jake."

"Bella," I told him, as a reflex. I had observed her behavior over the last few years, and Bella was always calm. Well, whenever I saw her she was. Maybe she wasn't the same when she was around Edward; people always acted differently around their mates.

As I waited for her to come back, my ears were listening for her quiet foot steps.

There was a clunk, some splashing sound, and a scream. Elle's scream.

I ran out of the room, the walls blurring past me as I went into the kitchen. I stopped when I saw Jacy, who looked soaking wet, with his hands clenched around Elle's neck.

A growl ripped out of my throat and I pushed him to the ground, taking Elle's hand and putting her behind me. A small crowd entered.

"What the hell?" I hissed at the boy on the floor. He was now on his hands and knees, with his teeth bared and snarling.

He didn't answer me. The face of anger only lasted another five seconds. Then, it was gone. He now wore a face of shock and disgust. He stood up on his feet.

He stared at Elle, apologetically, with his hands put out in front of him, as if to show he was unarmed. I looked back at her and she was staring at him, with the same expression. No doubt they were talking it out through their mind.

Nessie had pushed her way in front of everyone to stand in front of Jacy, "Are you all right?" She asked him, extremely worried. I almost thought about attacking her, also, who cared if he was all right. What about the actual victim, my Elle?

Jacob, as if reading my thoughts, came to stand in front of her, his arms opened wide to hug her. "You all right, baby?" he asked, and I watched her face to see how she would answer.

I almost expected her to cry, she always cried if something slightly went wrong. It wasn't really her choice, her tears were always just a reflex. The only reason she wouldn't cry was because she knew everyone was watching her. She never showed her weakness to anyone but her mom, Jacy, and I.

"Everything's all right," Ness announced to the crowd. "Just a spill."

I snorted. Jake threw a death glare at me as everyone else dispersed from the room.

The only ones who remained were the 'happy' family of four and me.

Nobody spoke, we all looked around at one another.

Alice came in the room, "All right, come on, Nessie. Time to get in your dress," she clapped her hands. Then she squinted her eyes at Jake, "You," she pointed her finger at him, "You are not supposed to see her until she walks down the aisle." She threw her hands up in the air, "What's up with you two being so nontraditional? First, Ness wants both her of her parents to walk her down the aisle, and now you look at her before she's ready. Her hair is still in curlers for heavens sakes! Now, come! You too Elle, you have a lot to do! Only two hours people!" She took Ness's and Elle's wrist and lead them out of the room. I exited also, back to the room where I was before. The 'groomsmen' room.

I sat in a chair and dwindled my thumbs nervously, but I couldn't bring myself to leave the room. I knew she would be safe with Alice, and I knew she was away from Jacy.

Twenty, or maybe thirty minutes later, Jacy. entered the room, closing the door a bit harder than the usual person would. He was all dry and looked proper, like he had before. He looked at the floor as he took a chair on the other side of the room. He shoved his head into his hands and grunted.

I should have been able to just talk to him. To talk to him about what had just happened. But, as he sat across from me, I thought of him as an enemy.

After more minutes of silence, he slowly tilted his head up to look at me, "You imprinted on my sister," he said, rubbing his temples. He kept his eyes focused on the ground.

I jumped a little. He wasn't supposed to know about that. Not about the imprints. Not that some day he had a possibility of becoming a wolf himself and imprinting also.

"Where did you hear that?" I hissed at him in a whisper.

He smirked, "I'm not oblivious as Elle. Besides, I've been finding that my hearing has gotten a bit better. I can some conversations that I couldn't hear before."

"Oh," I sighed. "Well, then, yes. I imprinted on your sister when she was born."

He shook his head, "It's disgusting," he told me. "You're twice her age, physically."

This made me angry, but I knew it was only because he didn't know what it felt like to imprint, "It's not like that. I don't think about her that way."

"Not yet," he spat at me.

And in his eyes I could see no more innocence. He knew it all. Perhaps he knew that was his destiny too. The bags under his eyes concluded my statement, making him looking like a grown man. Only a grown man could express such anger.

I didn't know how long we sat there and stared at each other. It was a long time. Long enough to hear a tiny pixie voice call from outside the door, "It's time! Come on!"

He got up first, breaking the stare. Then I got up and followed him. We didn't speak at all as we walked out to the hallway.

"Okay," Alice whispered, at a human tone, so everyone could hear her. "Places everyone. You will walk down the stairs and descend into the family room. Once you get to the end of the aisle, you will split apart. Girls will stand on the left in a row, and the boys on the right. We'll send the flower girl and ring bearer down last, right before we bring Ness in with Edward and Bella. Then, when it's over, the bride and groom will go first, and then the wedding party will follow; at the same order as before."

As she said this, she took everyone and made sure they were standing next to their designated partner. I tried to catch a glimpse over at Elle, but everything was moving so fast.

I was to walk down with Leah, and we were going to be the second couple going down. In front of us was the best man, Sam, and the maid of honor, Emily. Then, behind us were Rachel and Embry. And behind them were Rebecca and Quil.

Behind them, there was Elle and Jacy. My shoulders shook as I thought about how close they would be; linked arms. I just couldn't feel one-hundred percent okay with it after this morning.

Light music began playing and Alice raced down the stairs to take her place in the audience. Sam pulled Emily forward, and they began down the stairs. When they hit the flat ground, I pulled Leah forward and we walked down. I almost stepped on her dress, and winced as I thought about how mad she'd be if I had.

There weren't many people in the crowd. Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Paul, Jared, Seth, Kim, Collin, Brady, Amanda, Stacy, Charlie, and Billy. There were only two faces I didn't know. A man and a woman. Their frowns stood out from the crowd full of smiles. Their extremely light hair was hard to miss also. The lady looked at me for a split second, and then away to a couple coming behind me.

By the time we got up to the end of the aisle, I was glad to depart from Leah. I took my stance next to Sam and folded my hands in front of me.

I had made it just in time to see Elle walk down the stairs. I couldn't remember the anger I felt this morning, as I stared at her. The dress was wonderful, but I saw past it. Her hair was curled and up away from her face, a way I had never seen it. All of her features in her face were shining. The make-up didn't do her any justice, she already had amazing skin. There was no fake make-up blush on her cheeks. Only the actual warm blood radiated off of her face. She met my eyes, and giggled. Jacy looked over at her, to watch where he eyes were; and a frown formed on his face for a slight second as he saw me.

Sadly, when the two departed at the end, Elle had to go to the left, by the rest of the women.

The light music stopped, and more prominent music played. The wedding march. I looked at the top of the stairs and saw Nessie, her father on her left, and her mother on her right. She did look really nice. I looked over at Jake, and he was having a hard time not running down the aisle and carrying her away.

I heard a faint, little sigh from Elle; as she stared at her own mother. Her eyes were mainly sweeping up and down the dress.

Maybe she would get to wear it some day. I tried imagining her in it; but I couldn't; not just yet.

The trio reached the end of the aisle and the ceremony went on. By the time it was over, Nessie was covered in tears of joy; and Elle was wiping away tears from her eyes also.

After we all walked back down the aisle, Alice ordered us to stand in a line. And one by one, people came up and hugged everyone in the wedding party. Except for the few who just shook hands. I noticed that the blonde couple was coming down the line too. I shook their hands politely, and was shocked by their skin temperature. It was of a human's temperature; yet they didn't look human in the slightest. They had pale skin, just like a vampire. But their eyes were bright blue, so I wasn't sure on what they were.

I tuned my ears in on the women as she approached the newlyweds. "Jakey!" She squealed and threw her arms around Jake's neck. Nessie looked uncomfortable. Jake pushed her off slightly, trying to be nice.

"Hey, uh, Love," he said, wavering. Like he was choosing a proper name to call her.

Love... that sounded familiar. Then I was reminded who she was when I saw the look on Nessie's face. That girl. I groaned, remembering how she annoyed Ness; which sort of annoyed me.

"Hey, Renesmee," she said nasally as she took herself away from Jake. "Oh, this is my brother Louis. I suppose you haven't met him yet."

That explained why they looked alike. They weren't a couple; the pale man was her sibling. Louis shook Jacob's hand and then Ness's hand.

Then they moved on to greet Elle. I kept my eyes and ears out for her. I didn't know if I could trust these people quite yet.

Elle shook Love's hand. Then, when she reached out to shake Louis's; he pulled her in for a hug instead. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. When I opened my eyes they had moved on to the next people in line.

I guess I just had to get used to people hugging Elle. Who wouldn't want to hug her? I asked myself. So damn perfect.
