"Sunrise, Sunset, Swiftly go the days."-Sunrise, Sunset by Bright Eyes (I know, again with the Bright Eyes quotes! I'll try to find a different one next time I update.)
I kinda hated writing this chapter because I had to kill like 7 animals (I'm a vegetarian by the way haha) and because my boyfriend broke up with me (it was a while ago but) I kinda hate relationships (at least when I'm in one). I know it makes no sense for me to be writing a love fanfic but I had a dream about it and had to write it so whatever. Okay, disregard my mindless babbling, as most of you probably skipped it anyway. On to the story! :
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own Bright Eyes, Etta James, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Physco, Twilight or any characters/ song affiliated with them.
That night, as I packed, my mind raced with everything that could go wrong.
"Lacey, chill, everything will be okay. Alice told me." Edward handed me a bag to put in the Jeep. I threw it in the back and sighed. "Why so down, little Lacey?" a soothing voice asked. I whipped around. There before me, in my own front yard, stood Kade. I smiled and stuttered as I said hi. He laughed. "Hello Kade!" Alice yelled as she danced over to us. "Hello." Kade greeted Alice, Rosalie, and Jasper. They nodded. I smiled dreamily at the sound of his voice. Kade, Rosalie, and I climbed into the back of the jeep as Alice and Jasper climbed into the front, Jasper in the drivers seat. The whole 15 minute drive, Rosalie played with my hair and picked at my nails, perfecting my all ready perfect appearance. "Uhhhh, now were gonna set up then get some rabbits to hold us until tomorrow." Jasper announced. "Kay Jazz." I said as we unpacked and set up within 2 seconds. "There's 2 over there." Rosalie pointed to a bush. "Got it." I said as I dragged Kade over to the bush. "Its like hunting humans, but you have to chase more and its not as good"
"Okay." Kade said. I ran off into the bushed with Kade in tow. I quickly snagged a rabbit, as did Kade. "Your pretty good." I complimented. "Thanks" he replied as he stood over the drained carcass. We walked back into our campsite. We always had to set up tents and gear we didn't even use, just to blend in. I hated it. When we returned, everyone had drank and was hanging around the fire. "I'm going to the rock." I said as I pulled Kade with me to the rock I always sat at and stargazed, thinking about my soul mate and when he would come. Now he was here, laying with me. It seemed almost by instinct, he put his arm around me. Though he was cold, he seemed warmed. In his arms, I felt as if nothing could ever hurt me. I moved closer. He took my hand. "Your skin is so soft. I mean for a vampire." he remarked. I laughed. As a human, I had always had baby soft skin.
"So, do you have any power like your brothers and sisters?" He asked.
"Hmmn. I have the ability to make people fall in love. I guess I'm kinda like cupid, but not a naked little baby with a bow and arrow." I replied. He laughed.
"So that's why I'm falling in love with you." His tone became sweet.
"I cant make people fall in love with me. Only make other fall in love with each other." I laughed. I closed my eyes to take in the moment. As I had my eyes closed, I felt a pair of cold yet warm lips pressed against mine. I melted into his embrace.
'Oh my god, is this really happening?' I asked myself. I heard a faint squeal. I knew Alice had seen that he would kiss me. Kade pulled away and I opened my eyes and smiled.
"Sorry, I shouldnt have done that. I should have asked first." He lowered his head. I laughed. Such a gentleman.
"Its okay. If you would have waited any longer, I would have done it myself." I said as I pulled him closer and kiss him. This kiss lasted longer than the first. Neither of us were breathing. I giggled.
"What?" He laughed himself.
"Nothing, I just...like it." I said in a giggly voice. I wanted to smack myself. I am so stupid! Now hes going to think I'm some lame, giggly, brainless girl!
"Your so cute." He laughed, then kissed my forehead. I buried my face into his side. He kissed the top of my head. Any minute I would wake from this all-to-realistic daydream. No guy like Kade could really be this amazing. He was everything I could ever ask for. I guess an eternity isn't so bad when you have someone with you. I smiled at the thought of Kade being with me forever. "I think your fantastic." I looked up at him. He laughed and kissed my temple.
"Think your pretty fantastic yourself." He smiled. "What were you like when you were human"
I sighed. I was the worse possible human.
"I was a terrible person." I simply replied.
"I want to know. Every detail and I'll tell you mine." He pushed on.
I sighed "I never stayed in one place much. You could always count on me to split. I always kept secrets and people always told me there, but its not like it mattered. I was very loving, until I left. I always left. I broke so many hearts by my antics. I guess I fixed some too. Like I said, I'm cupid. I always played match maker. I drank and I stole. I was very lonely, even though I got so much attention. I was my own best friend." I sighed. "Then I got to know a vampire named Echo. He fell in love with me. We had a fling, then of course, I left. Before I could go, he bit me. It was the worst feeling ever. On my 3rd day, Carlise found me. He invited me to stay with him and Edward"
"Have you ever left?" He asked.
"No. I became a whole new person. What about you? What were you like"
"Mischievous." He said with a devilish grin. "But a gentleman"
"Hmm, you still are." I said with a smile. He ran his finger across my arm. Goosebumps arose at his touch. "Who bit you?" I asked out of curiosity.
"I don't know." He replied staring out into the sky.
"Hmmmmn." I replied.
"So, how old are you?" He asked.
"106. You"
"108. Whats your favorite movie"
"Breakfast at Tiffany's. You"
"Physco. Favorite song"
"At Last by Etta James. You"
"Cleanse Song by Bright Eyes"
"I love Bright Eyes!" I excited said.
"How could you not?" He laughed. "Whats you favorite song"
"First Day of my Life"
"What was your favorite food"
"Peanut Butter and Jelly" I laughed. Such a childish food. "You"
"Ice Cream Sundae. I always had a sweet tooth." He chuckled.
"Whats your favorite color"
"Ummmm blue. You"
"I have 4. Rasta colors"
"Hmmn. Whats the worst thing that ever happened to you"
I was silent. He looked down at me. I looked into his eyes with my dry, dark brown eyes.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that." "No, its okay"
"You don't have to answer it." He ran his hand along my arm, over my shoulder, across my cheek, and into my hair. He twirled my straightened hair around his finger. I gently wiggled my hand into his.I softly slid my cheek along his, feeling his unusual warmth. I looked into the sky and saw the sun beginning to peak above the mountains. I closed my eyes and hoped it wouldn't be sunny. I opened them and looked at Kade. He was sparkling. I silently sighed. I hated the sun. Even more so since Bella had come along. Don't get me wrong, I love Bella, but ever since she showed up, I never went to the meadow with just Edward like we used to on sunny days. He always spent his time with Bella. I looked back at Kade. He wasn't sparkling anymore. I looked at the sun. It was covered by clouds. Somewhere near, I heard the roar of a grizzly bear.
"I get it!" I yelled as I raced towards it. Jasper had already gotten it.
"Too late!" He laughed.
"Ugh!" I wanted that. I really just wanted to show off. My head snapped to the left at the sound of another grizzly.
"I get it!" I repeated in an almost inaudible tone. I made sure Kade was watching before I lunged at the bear, quickly wounding it and draining it.
"Your turn." I said as I gracefully danced over to Kade. "Theres a deer over there." I pointed to a pair of ears sticking out over the bushes. He quickly attacked and drained, slower than us, but still pretty fast.
"You should get another." I recommended. Kade quickly tracked another and drained it.
"Now, lets go swimming!" I exclaimed.
"I don't have a bathing suit." I heard him say as I ran towards the river.
"Neither do I!" I laughed as I stripped off my clothes and ran into the water.
"Er..." He hesitated. "Don't be a baby!" I splashed him. "What happened to mischievous"
His devilish grin returned as he quickly stripped and dove into the water. It was cold, even for us, but I didnt mind. I dove under and came up behind Kade. I wrapped my arms around him. I laughed as I saw his embarrassed expression as I swam to face him.
"Oh shit, fishers!" I turned to the bank to see Kade pulling his shirt on and Alice standing there with dry clothes (mine had gotten wet from the splashing) and a blanket. Kade went ahead to the campsite as I got out of the water. I shook off and put the dry clothes on. Alice wrapped the blanket around me.
"Wait till Rosalie sees you." She laughed. Rosalie gasped as I came into view. My hair was now in its natural messy curls (Rosalie straightens it everyday) and my eyeliner was smudged. I laughed as she ran over to fix my appearance. She wiped my makeup off and finger combed my hair.
"Ugh, you know your hair gets like this in water!" She fussed. Alice, Jasper, and I laughed.
"Its okay." Kade appeared by my side and stroked my cheek. "I think she looks beautiful." Alice, Rosalie, and I smiled. "I'm full." Jasper, being my big brother, interrupted the intimate moment. Kade pulled his hand away.
"Yeah, me too." Alice laughed, knowing he would do that. Rosalie nodded in agreement. I frowned. We quickly put away and loaded are unused gear and took are places in the jeep. The whole ride back, Rosalie fussed over my hair and Kade held my hand. This trip seemed way to short.
The picture I used for Lacey with curly hair, topaz eyes, and smudged eyes was this: i305./albums/nn202/muffincakesXD/alice1.png
Okay, Im super excited because I'm going to Borders at 12:01 am to get Breaking Dawn and I'm going to be dressed like Alice and my 2 best friend dressed as Rosalie and Victoria and another girl as Bella. :
