A/N: Chapter three is here! I'm spoiling you guys with these updates though, sooner or later the chapters will run out and you'll have to wait a week or two before you get the next one.
(Emma's POV)
It had been about a week since I came to live in Forks, and I never wanted to leave. The weather suited me perfectly. I loved rainy or cloudy days they were perfect for reading. Rain was like extra walls, something protecting me from humanity. I'm not really a people person. More of a shut-up-and-let-me-read-so-I-can-escape-being-human-for-ten-minutes person. Yay for vampires!
Bella turned out to be a good companion. Since I wasn't going to school for two months this was good. She got me a book light too, though I think it was less of a present then she said. She was a bad liar. Seriously, she was terrible at it. Bella was so bad at it; I don't even think she was lying. More like bad not-truth speaking or something. I would have to teach her sometime. For now, I would stick with cheats for any game. The first and best cheat was when you're picking someone with bubble gum bubble gum it was always going to land on the person after. It wasn't going to help her much, but it was cool.
Edward Cullen, the hottest person on the planet, also happened to be her boyfriend. I could find things wrong with him though. He looked at me oddly, like he knew what I was thinking, his eyes changed color, his entire foster family had the same pale skin as he did, and he always disappeared on sunny days. Bella said it was to go camping, I thought differently. Though I was always too observant and thought that things were what they weren't so I backed off.
This dude was seriously hot though. It was unnatural. He was creepily pale, and I suggested tanning more than once. He just laughed. I knew that people lost their tans or any color in their skin quickly in Forks, but this was as if he had never even had color in his skin. Every feature in his face was perfect. That was also weird. It was a plus, but it was weird. I could go on and on for four hundred and ninety-eight pages on how hot and perfect he was, but that would get annoying.
Even though his foster family had many of the same odd traits, they were also awesome. Alice rocked at giving makeovers and donated me some clothes. Emmett was fun to beat at video games. Rosalie, well, she was-in a nice way, um, how do I put this… her. The rest of the Cullen's were interesting too. I just don't feel like talking about it.
It was weird. Almost every night I dreamed about Edward coming through the window of Bella and I's bedroom. Then I woke myself up and there was nothing there. I was going to ask about it to Bella, but I was not about to tell her-or her best friend, Alice-that I was dreaming about her boyfriend excessively.
My birthday got interesting. July 13th, my second favorite day of the year. My first favorite is Halloween, get out late and you get to have the rest of the candy that the smaller kids didn't already take. Bella (with much help from Alice I suspected) threw me a surprise party at the huge white house in the woods. My cake was enormous, fudge frosting, devil's food cake, chocolate chunks and marshmallows baked in and green marshmallow fondant with the coolest decorations ever on top. I ended up eating half of it, making me way too sick to the stomach to feel guilty about it.
Emmett and I had a-no, the-huge video game tournament which consisted of Wii Sports, Lego Star wars, Lego Indiana Jones, Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and countless others. He ended up winning-because I let him mind you-to his relief. The decision to never let him win again was made right then and there, as he started gloating. Well, I didn't let him win. I hit myself in the eye with the Wii remote. That had even Rosalie laughing. Mario Kart Wii is now cursed by yours truly.
My presents got even better. Alice got me the coolest clothes designing kit. Jasper got me a mood necklace. Carlisle and Esme got me all of the Jane Austen books. The last, and funniest, ones were from Emmett and Bella. Emmett got me Defeating Blinky: A guide to Pac-Man and Bella got me sleeping pills. We all had a good laugh. Though something told me, just this little nagging doubt in the back of my head, ever so small and annoying, Bella was serious about her gift.
All too soon it was time to go back to have another smaller party with Charlie. He got me a disposable camera, not as cool as the Cullen's gifts but I appreciated the gesture. The fact that he couldn't cook at all was the greatest gift of all though. I was so full from cake I could hardly eat my dinner two hours later, much less another cake right then.
My birthday was soon over. The day after it the sun was shining, birds were calling, and children were playing wholesome activities outside; all bad signs. I was telling the truth when I said I'm not a people person. If I said I was plotting to destroy large franchise company's I meant it. Of course, I didn't listen to the bad signs I'm just that idiotic.
One cloudy, but unfortunately not rainy, day Bella drove us down to La Push, an Indian reservation or something just outside of Forks. Once there we met up with a sixteen-year-old named Jacob Black who seemed a little too happy to see my cousin.
We went down to the beach, where I started skipping the endless supply of rocks while they sat down on a overturned tree and started talking, occasionally bursting out in laughter. Overall, it was a good day. Bella showed me the tide pools, and Jacob caught her whenever she started to fall in. Following those incidents was her trademark blush and then we would promptly move on to the next miniature world.
Regular visits to the Cullens house were mandatory, and Alice loved playing dress up and stuff into girly dresses Emma. I didn't mind the makeovers so much, but I really hated it when she expected me to put on something pink with ruffles. The pixie that was two inches taller than me was also too strong when she pulled me up the stairs the minute I walked in the door. I didn't know how she could keep going for three hours and not even look tired when she pulled me into her massive closet (in which she gave me clothes that were actually modest in some way-something I didn't think was possible in her style) that was way bigger then Narnia and had a better entrance then a wardrobe.
Emmett was still wondering how I kicked his butt at video games. But the cuddly grizzly bear-sized dude never got an answer. I didn't cheat though! Much….
I never was able to know Jasper too well. He and Alice were most likely going to get married they were so close. They just seemed to make each other whole. It was cute, and they didn't kiss excessively like Emmett and Rosalie-who were probably not virgins and made me shudder to think what they did when they were alone. Whenever I was around Jasper though I got calm. Annoyingly calm. 'Course being annoyed wasn't an option 'till afterward. How he did it though escaped me.
Everything was going great. I was adjusting to Forks well. August came and the weather got even warmer, but certainly not sunny in the slightest. I prepared myself to go back to school, Forks High in fact. Singapore math books had taught me well and Charlie decided to try to get me into there. It worked, I was in and now all I had to do was prepare myself for using lockers and having classes with a bunch of tall people.
So on August 16 Charlie took me to get supplies. It went well, now stocked with things I would need (and a laptop bought from my own personal savings, woohoo!) I thought I was on top of the world, the bad signs the day after my birthday gone from my mind. As I said before, I really should have listened. Instead, I went about everything happily thinking everything would turn out great somehow. I was wrong. I was being damned to hell forever. Not that I'm complaining, but still.
I have no memory of the incident. I don't know what happened. I don't know who did it. All I know is that I thought I had died and gone to hell. I don't know how long I was missing. I don't know if I will ever know who did it.
August 18th I died.
A/N: So how did you like it? Tell me! Or die! Well... Tell me or be threatened with an empty threat! Try to guess what happened to Emma! If you prove you're like Alice and tell me exactly what happened win an invisible pie!
Reviews are the air that vampires don't need!
