We got out of our cars and looked at the new house in amazement. It was so beautiful. When we walked in there was a foyer and most of the furniture had already been set up for us.

I ran up the staircase and looked at the hallway. There were nine bedrooms for our choosing. Carslie and Esme shared a room. Emmett and Rosalie shared a room. Jasper and Alice shared a room. Edward and Isabella also shared a room. The rest of us got our own room. The couples had first pick. I then let everyone else pick what room what they wanted and I took the last one.

My bedroom was between Renesmee's and Jacob's. It had a beautiful window seat that I could sit and read my books all day long. It, of course, had nothing in it that was personal to me, but Alice had already looked at a bedroom set for me and had bought it. It had a black bed and dresser. On either side of the bed there were two glass end tables. It also had a black bookshelf because I had expressed my interest in books.

I opened the closet door and it was HUGE! Alice had already filled it with some dresses and jeans and shirts. When I saw the dresses, I groaned. Until I got a good look at them. They were Victorian looking dresses. There were black and had lots of lace just how I liked them.

Alice could obviously tell that she wasn't going to be able to shove me into girly things like she did with Isabella because there were plenty of jeans and band t-shirts in there. There was the occasional professional looking piece of clothing so I guessed that was for going out for something important.

I took one of the dresses off of the hanger and put it on. I also put on a pair of combat boots that were in the closet.

"Rowena, come down stairs. Alice and Renesmee want to go shopping. They think this will be the perfect time to test your restraint to human blood on an empty stomach." I heard Edward's voice say.

"Ok. I'm on my way down."

I ran down the stairs and met Renesmee and Alice in the foyer.

"Ready to go?," Renesmee asked.

I nodded.

We went outside and got into Alice's Porsche. I saw flashes of two stores in Alice's head. One was Hot Topic and the other was Barnes and Noble, my two favorite stores of all time.

"Alice, can you please decide on a store?"

Alice gave a small smile.

"Alright, Barnes and Noble, but only because you decided it."

When we got to the mall, it was packed. We got out and head to the part that had Barnes and Noble in it. The three of us automatically spilt in to different sections. Renesmee to the mystery section, Alice to the magazine section to see the latest trend, and myself to the teen section.

I automatically piled up my favorite books I had at home. I grabbed The Vampire Academy, Cirque du Freak, Harry Potter, Night World, and House of Night series. I then grabbed some other books I thought I might enjoy.

With my vampire strength it was no problem holding all of the books, but Alice, having seen what my intentions were, had reminded me in the car to look as it I was having a hard time holding the tower of books. So I did.

I had to wave off at least three guys who wanted to help. After I waved off the third, Alice and Renesmee resurfaced. Alice had a stack of magazines in her hand and Renesmee had two or three books in her hand.

"You should have let them carry your books for you Rowena. They were pretty cute." Alice said.

I rolled my eyes.

We went to check out. Alice paid first. Then Renesmee. When it was my turn, the cashier's eyes widened. He rang up all of my books with a word. Would you believe it was only $200.23? I pulled out the black debt card Carslie had given me earlier.

The casher bagged my books and threw in a membership card in for free. I thanked him and grabbed my bags. I didn't have the urge to bite him at all the whole time.

We then went to Hot Topic and bought me some more shoes. We also got accessories while we were there. At my protest, Alice bought me make-up, but she promised to show me how to put it on in the way I would like it.

After we purchased our items we went to the food court because Renesmee, being only half vampire, was hungry. We sat there and talked while she ate.

After she finished, we went to the beauty salon. Alice talked me into getting my hair cut. It is usually waist length, but we got it cut to the middle of my back. Since vampires don't grow, that would be the length that my hair would be unless I cut it shorter.

Alice wanted me to get neon green streaks in my hair, that she said would go perfect with my midnight black hair, but I talked her out of it.

Since Renesmee was getting tired, we decided to head back. Before we could leave, two very hot guys came up to us. One looked Goth like me and the other looked like a surfer. They decided that out of everyone in the mall, Renesmee and I looked perfect for them. The surfer started hitting on Renesmee and the Goth on me.

"Hi. My name is Jace." The Goth said.

"And this is Tristan." He said pointing to the surfer.

We shook their hands.

"So what…."

That's all I heard. I had the sudden buzzing in my ears. I saw red. I was thirsty.

I touched Renesmee and used her gift to show her what I wanted to do to the surfer and Goth. It involved lots and lots of blood...theirs.

She gasped and showed Alice my images. Alice grabbed me and dragged me toward the exit with her vampire strength. I faintly heard Renesmee explain to the guys that I wasn't feeling well.

Renesmee caught up to use and jumped in the passenger side. Alice threw our bags in the trunk. She then helped me into the back seat.

Alice then took off toward the house. I heard Alice muttering to herself. She was saying something like 'too early. I should have known it was too early.'

Alice picked up her cell phone and called Edward. I heard parts of the conversation, but I was focused on the buzzing in my throat trying to make it go away.

I focused on my sister and it died down a little.

Next thing I know we were pulling up to the house. Edward and Isabella were waiting outside for us. Edward ran to the side of the car and helped me out. He got me to start running toward the woods and Isabella followed.

We found a bear quickly and I leaped on it. I heard Isabella cry out, but Edward comforted her. He knew I need to concentrate on the task at hand.

I snapped its neck quickly and opened up a vein. I drank and drank until my thirst was sufficed. By then the bear was drained. I had planned on saving some for Edward and Isabella.

Edward read my thoughts.

"Don't worry. We already went hunting. Besides, you need every drop."

We walked back to the house at human speed. They asked me how our shopping trip was and what had caused the thirst. I told them about what all we bought and then I told them about Jace and Tristan.

Edward listened to it and said, "It was probably this Jace person. He was probably like you in ways you didn't even know. It was those factors that probably attracted you to him."

When we got back to the house, it was 9:00. I went up to my room and put my books on the shelf and my accessories away. I then went down stairs to see what everyone else was doing.

Jasper and Jacob were playing video games. Rosalie was reading a car magazine. Edward was playing the piano in the other room for Isabella. Emmett was cheering on Jasper. Renesmee was talking to Jacob. Alice was reading a magazine. Seth and Leah were listening to their I-Pods. Carslie and Esme went hunting.

I plopped on the couch with one of my new books.

I got about half way through the book when I heard Edward say "Renesmee, time for bed. We've got school tomorrow. Jacob you might want to go to bed too."

Renesmee nodded and headed up stairs. Jacob followed suit. Leah got up and headed up stairs. Seth was asleep on the couch.

I picked up Seth and took him up stairs and put him on his bed and covered him up. When I turned to walk back to the living room, Leah was standing in the doorway. She stared at me for a minute and then turned around to walk back to her room.

I walked back down stairs to try to finish reading my book before everyone had to go to school… without me.
