December 30th
"Don't you think it's weird not having mom and dad here for New Year's? We never have been separated like this on such a special holiday!"
"I know Alice the house feels so…empty." This was true. I'm use to waking up in the morning to seeing mother in the kitchen making breakfast for us.
"Hey Bella do you think their okay?'' I didn't know how to answer that. All I could do was nod my head as in yes. I didn't want to think any negative thoughts. Our parents are strong and with that I finally spoke up.
"Alice they'll be fine are parents are strong and they're going to America. Its known as the land of the free, they'll be fine." With those words she finally smiled.
"Okay! Let's go get us something nice to wear for New Year's." What? I'm confused.
"Alice why would we have to go and get dressed up? It's only going to be me and you this year."
"Mom and dad didn't tell you?" what on earth is she talking about?
"Tell me what?"
"We are having dinner with Jacob and his family for the new year." I completely froze.
"Sorry Bella I thought they told you. I don't understand why they wouldn't tell you. I'm so sorry I thought you knew." I just gapped at her. This could not be happening. Jacob is out of town. What is todays date? I rushed over to the nearest calendar, to see that its January 30th crap he'll be back in town tonight. I turn to see Alice still rambling on.
"Alice what all did mom and dad say?"
"That since Jacob will be your future husband it is important for you to get acquainted with his family due to your marriage date is next week." How could they not tell me? I need time I can't do this!
"Bella breathe, it's just dinner." I nearly jumped out of my skin, as I didn't realize Alice was now standing behind me. I can do this just grin and bear it. I will do this for my parents.
"Okay Alice." I said in all but a whisper.
"Let's go get you a dress, don't worry I'll be reasonable. I don't want to go to the New Year's dinner either but it was an order from mom and dad. Sorry." And with that we went out to the local markets to get ready for dinner tomorrow night.
December 31st
"Bella are you ready we have to leave in 5mintues." I didn't even respond. All I could do was stare at my reflection. Don't get me wrong I looked great, but to great. I didn't want them to get the impression that I tried hard to get ready for this event. I was in and beautiful fall colored dressed. It was brown mixed with a little crème coloring in.
"Alright missy you want me to come up there?" and being the over dramatic pixie she was she barged in my room.
"Alice I was about to come down." I rolled my eyes at her and her dramatics. I turned around to see my sister dress similar to my just a few shades darker. My sister Alice Brandon Swan who is 19 is a few inches shorter than me. We look alike but her features are less defined, and she cut her hair short to the nape of her neck.
"Alice you look beautiful! Paul will be staring at you all night." She hates Paul. It's something about the blacks, that makes me and my sister skin crawl.
"Bella I would like to eat dinner, okay. So with that said shut up." Ahh, my little sister.
"Okay, okay lets go and get this thing over with." And with that we headed to the blacks.
"Hey, Alice. Where did the French soldiers go?" I got a bad feeling about this. The soldiers were outside two hours prior to this.
"I don't know maybe the war is over and they were finally relieved."
"Yeah I guess." But something was telling me otherwise.
We finally made it to the black's residence and were greeted by their maid Maria.
"Hello, Maria'' Alice and I greeted her.
"Hello ladies I'm here to escort you ladies to dinner." Me and Alice exchanged a look, but complied.
"Ahh Bella, Alice it is a pleasure to see you ladies again. And might I say how beautiful you ladies look this evening." Said Billy Black Jacobs's father, as we entered the dining hall.
"Why thank you. And don't you look dashing." Alice being the bold one returned his greeting while I just did an awkward wave of my hand.
"Ha-ha Sue honey I think she's flirting with me." With that everyone laughed.
"Why don't you ladies come take a seat the boys will be down in a few." Said Sue.
So we all chatted about the up in coming wedding. Well Alice did all the talking there and I just nodded and faked a smile.
The boys finally came down and dinner was served. I sat next to Jacob across from Alice and sue. At the head of the table were Sue and Billy.
Dinner was respectively quite while we ate. When the plates were cleared from the table Billy and sue attempted to make conversation with us. It was a slight tension in the air. But that didn't deter them.
"So Isabella your mother and father are out of town?" questioned Billy.
"Yes our grandmother is sick and she needs someone to look after her."
"Not to be rude, but why didn't you ladies go as well?" asked sue
"My parents were only able to get two tickets."
"Oh well-'' but sue didn't get to finish her question due to an explosion in the air.
"Why are they starting the fire works so early" but I didn't think those were fireworks. And to prove that 6 German soldiers barged in with guns. I ran over to Alice and grabbed her hand and squeezing it in a jester saying that I loved her, she squeezed right back.
"Listen Jews, you have been placed under arrest by the government of Germany."
With that I knew we were all going to die.
