Since vampires didn't sleep, we were quite early for our 4 A.M. flight. Braxton told me not to breathe while we were on the plane unless I absolutely had to. it's quite a confined space full of delicious smelling humans, but the first class section was mostly empty, which was good. We landed in Seattle at noon, and immediatley Charles split us into two groups. Braxton, Aidan, Octavia, and I were to go to the Lincoln car dealership then to a Mercedes car dealership, then we would meet Brendan, Liberty, Charles, and Scarlett at the biggest mall we could find. They were going to the Mercedes dealership first then hunting, because they hadn't in a few weeks. When we got to the Lincoln dealership, I saw a large black Lincoln Navigator and fell in love.
"Braxton." I stated his name, and he looked at me then followed my gaze.
"Are you sure you want it in black?" he asked me. I looked at him like he was crazy.
"Do you know how much those cost?" I asked him skeptically. He laughed.
"Don't worry. When you have unlimited time on your hands and a sister who can sense changes in the stock market, the money kind of piles up. Don't worry, you can have whatever you want." He smiled at me. Having always been a compulsive shopper, I jumped on him and kissed him.
"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" I kissed him some more.
"Okay, lovebirds? Get the car you want, cause I wanna get a few fast cars that are NOT huge SUVs." Aidan growled.
Braxton paid for my Navigator in cash, and I drove us to the Mercedes dealership. Aidan is a moron, cause my Navigator topped 110 on the highway. Not a fast car my ass. At Mercedes/BMW/Cadillac dealership, Octavia bought a red M3 convertible, and then Aidan bought a black Cadillac Seville. They drove separatley when Braxton refused to part with me. I love his overprotectiveness. We all drove to the biggest mall we could find, and quickly found the others. Charles and Scarlett had bought a shiny blue porsche, and Brendan and Liberty bought a cadillac coupe de ville.
"Nice cars." We all said at the same time, and laughed. it was 2 o'clock.
"Okay, everyone. Meet here at five, and we'll drive to forks." Charles said, and we all set off into the mall.
"Okay, Braxton, Aidan, and Brendan, you go to the boy-stores. We're going to all the other ones." Octavia stated, and I linked arms with her and Liberty and we set off towards Neiman Marcus.
"Uhmm, Octavia, I have NO money." I told her. She gave Liberty a look, and Liberty handed me a credit card and an I'd card, and I inspected them. The card had my picture on it, but the name was Emily Caldwell.
"Now you do. You're a Snow now, Evie. You have all the money in the world." She said confidently, and I smiled and hugged her. We headed to the womans department of Neiman Marcus, and the rest is history.
Three hours and what seemed like thousands of stores later, Octavia, Libby, me, and the four willing valets carried our hundred bags to the Navigator.
"For heavens sake, girls! Think you got enough clothes?!" Charles started.
We all snorted. "no." we said at the same time, and we laughed. our boys took our bags from the valets, and loaded them into the car.
"We'll be needing to come back again soon." Liberty said, and I nodded vigorously.
"Definitley." I agreed, and Aidan cleared his throat.
"Okay, well, while you females were off spending all the money we have, Brax and I were thinking." he started. I looked at Braxton.
"Can we attach the seville to the hitch on the back of your Navigator so Octavia and Aidan can ride together?" he asked me.
"Yeah, sure! thats totally fine." I smiled at him, and he grabbed my hand and winked.
"Thanks, you guys. thats really considerate." Octavia smiled at me, and I smiled back.
"Okay, so, when do we get this show on the road?" I smiled at my new family. Charles looked at his watch. Five oh five. We should be going right now. "Oh okay." I murmured. He smiled shyly.
"So lets go then!" Octavia pulled Aidan towards the BMW and they climbed in. Charles and Scarlett climbed into their car, and Brendan and Liberty climbed into theirs.
"Lets go, Ev." Braxton tugged my hand towards the Navigator. I smiled at him and let him drag me towards the car.
"Uhmm, you think youre driving MY new car?" I asked him, jokingly outraged. He looked at me, shocked. Give me the keys, now. I planted it in his head. He unwillingly dropped the keys in my hand.
"That is NOT fair." He told me. I smiled and kissed him lightly.
"I love you." I sang, and he smiled and shook his head.
We drove 115 mph the entire way to forks, and we were there in no time. Our house was wonderful. it was exactly like the old house, except it was white and it was a little bit bigger.
"Uhmm, wow." I murmured as I slammed my car door shut.
"it's not as beautiful as you." Braxton appeared behind me, and he kissed my neck lightly. I rolled my head back onto his shoulder.
"Okay, kids. Scarlett and I get the master bedroom. Boys, go pick rooms for you and your ladies, and Evelyn, have fun beating the guys to the best room. 3, 2, 1, GO!" Charles yelled. The guys were off, but I ran to the biggest bedroom besides the master as fast as I possibly could, beating Aidan there by a millisecond. I stood in the doorway as he ran right into me, bodyslamming me right on to the floor. He landed on top of me, accidentally pinning me onto the floor.
"Well, this is interesting." He murmured. I grimaced and tried to push him off, but it turns out that he's a wee bit stronger than me. He kept me pinned.
"Get off of me!" I hissed. He just smirked.
"Hello, Aidan. I believe she asked you to get off of her?" Braxtons cool voice came from the doorway. Aidan turned, and I took advantage of the momentary distraction and kneed him in the crotch. He immediatley fell limp to the side, whimpering like a baby.
"Don't fuck with Evelyn Sla-" I began, but then I remembered. I smiled. "Evelyn Snow." Braxton beamed.
"Okay, I won't, I won't." he breathed, still in pain. Octavia appeared in the door.
"You ass." She said, and she kicked him in the shin. He grimaced and groaned, and Octavia and I exchanged smirks. She smiled. "I blame you. if you weren't so beautiful and perfect, my boyfriend wouldn't be hitting on you." She narrowed her eyes jokingly. I smiled.
"My room. Take your creature and go-go." I said to her, and she grabbed Aidans ankle and effortlessly pulled him to another room.
"Hmm...all alone." Braxton helped me up from the floor and took me into an embrace. He continued to hold me closely, and he trailed his fingers lightly down my spine. I shuddered and looked up into his eyes. He kissed me softly, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. Then I heard something. I pulled away.
"What's wrong?" He asked me quietly. I held up one finger, signaling for him to be quiet.
This is ludicrous. Rose needs to realize that hunting comes BEFORE shopping. She'll attack a human if she's not careful.
"Liberty!" I screeched. She was in the doorway in seconds. "Do you sense that?"
"Yes." She murmured. Charles appeared behind her. She turned to him. "it appears that there are already vampires in forks."
"Vampires in forks, are you joking? This is the tiniest town EVER!" Octavia exclaimed. By this time, we were all gathered in the dining room....or what was supposed to be the dining room. it was just an empty space at the moment. Scarlett says the furniture is being delivered tomorrow.
ANYWAYS.
"That would be the point, dear." Aidan smiled patiently at her.
"Don't talk. You're still in trouble." She snapped at him. He shut his mouth.
"How many?" Charles asked Liberty.
"Five." She murmured. She looked at me as if asking for reassurance.
"Yeah, five." I agreed with her.
"Well, we should meet them. Do they know we're here?" Scarlett asked me. I shook my head.
"No. I think my...talents...provide some kind of cloak or something, because they have no idea that we've arrived." I offered. She nodded.
"Well, shall we?" Liberty asked. I looked at Braxton, and he shrugged. Braxton looked at Charles.
"Should we go greet them?" He asked tentatively. Charles sighed.
"I suppose so. But I have to go to the hospital to get a job, and Scarlett is going to set up the new computer. So it'll just be you kids." He cautioned us. We looked at Octavia and Aidan, and they were just looking at each other, holding hands.
"Uhmm, we're actually just gonna go upstairs and...talk." Octavia murmured, and she and Aidan were gone.
"Oh, eww. Are you kidding me?" I said, and then I grinned as Braxton grimaced at his sisters horrid manners.
"So it's just Braxton, Libs, Brendan and I?" I asked quietly. Braxton was trying to hide something from me. "Spill." I raised my eyebrows.
"I need to hunt. Badly. And Brendan has offered to join me, if that's okay with you." He squeezed my hand. I smiled.
"Don't worry about it. You need to do what you need to do." I smiled again. "Okay, well, Liberty. You comin' with me?"
"Of course!" She exclaimed. I smiled.
"Okay, well, I'm gonna go ahead and change clothes real quick, and then I'll meet you at the door in twenty minutes, okay? We'll take the Navigator." She nodded, and I ran up the stairs and into my room. After I had shut the door, there was a soft knock. I was looking through my shopping bags, so I didn't even notice much.
"Come in!" I called softly. Braxton entered the room, and I looked up.
"What do you plan on wearing?" he asked me. Aww, he really wanted to know. What a sweetheart!
"I'm not sure. Something sophisticated and professional, but I don't quite know what." I murmured as I poured the contents of a Betsey Johnson bag out on the beige carpet. I pulled a plain white form-fitting button down shirt out of the bag, and held it up. "I think I'll wear this one." I muttered to myself. I stood up and began sliding off my red and white striped tank top, but stopped when I felt Braxtons hungry eyes on me. I looked at him and he was watching me, breathing heavily.
"Do you mind?" I asked him suspiciously. He covered his eyes with one hand, and I slid my shirt off. He uncovered his eyes immediatley, and I saw myself in his mind. "EXCUSE ME!" I turned around and glared at him. He smiled as I realized that I was wearing only a lacey white bra the same shade as my skin. I threw my hands over my chest and turned around. I felt his presence right behind me as he slowly pulled my arms down from my chest, exposing my bra again.
"Braxton....." I cautioned him.
"Shh," He softly pulled at my bra clasp and it immediatley came undone. I held it to my chest protectively. He ran his fingers over my skin, and on to my chest. I let my bra drop. He slowly ran his hands all over my exposed body, and I rolled my head back and turned around to throw my arms around his neck and draw him to me. I kissed him passionatley while he slowly moved his hands from my chest to my lower back, and he pulled me towards him. I let myself close all the space between his body and mine, and he pulled my jeans over my butt and down to my ankles. I kicked them off and slid his shirt off of him. I lightly scratched his chest with my fingernails and he shuddered. I stood with my back to the door wearing nothing but white boyshorts. I felt my wavy ebony hair tickling my lower back, and I smiled impishly into Braxtons lips.
"Hey, Evelyn, I...Oh, my." Liberty walked to the doorway and saw us...being there. Very non-clothed.
"Hey, Liberty! Wanna turn around NOW?!" I exclaimed, picking up my bra off the floor and putting it back on.
Slut. She mentally smirked.
HEY! I yelled.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it!" She paused, then laughed once. "Wow, you guys are feeling very sexual. it's a bit weird for me to be feeling this too."
"THEN DON'T BE." Me and Braxton yelled at the same time. He smiled and slid his shirt back on. I put the white button down shirt on, and slid on some black pants. I pushed my bangs out of my eyes, and unbuttoned the first few buttons of my shirt.
"Don't you flirt with any of those vampire boys." Braxton eyed me suspiciously. I winked royally and walked out.
"Come on Libs, lets go meet the neighbors!" I said with mock excitement. She smiled as we climbed into the Navigator and I started the engine.
"What do you think they're like?" Liberty asked me nervously.
"You've never met other vampires before?!" I asked her, shocked and scared.
"Well, sure I have. Hundreds." She said, as if it should be obvious. Oh god I'm so nervous. I hope she doesn't realize that I'm lying. I threw her an exhasperated glance. You're reading my mind arent you Evie? I nodded. "Sorry. But what do you think they are going to be like?"
"Oh god, Liberty! I don't know! I've been a vampire for twenty four hours! You've been one for...?" I trailed off suggestively.
"A long long time." She finished quietly. I smiled and shook my head.
"I bet they'll be just like us. Don't worry so much, libby." I soothed her. "do you need me to...you know." I asked her quietly. She nodded vigorously. Relax and realize that we are just as strong and dangerous as them. She breathed in deeply.
"Thank you. I really like that little gift of yours." She added. Seconds later, she gasped. I looked at her, immediatley comprehending.
"There's more than five." We said at the same time.
"Do they know we're coming?" Liberty asked me. I shook my head.
"No, they have no idea. Wait...." I trailed off. I turned onto an unmarked road, and we followed it slowly. it opened into a huge meadow type lawn thing.
"Wow." Liberty breathed as we saw the house.
it was almost exactly the same as ours.
"THEY ARE SUCH CHEATERS!" I yelled. Liberty clapped her hands over her ears.
"OW Evelyn! You are much louder as a vampire then as a human, PLEASE remember that!" She hissed. I smiled regretfully.
"Sorry..." I whispered. We climbed out of the car and slammed the doors, approaching the house slowly.
I heard five trains of thought coming from inside.
I looked so beautiful in that dress. I should wear it more often.
Who would be coming to the house to see us?
More vampires in forks? This is too much.
Rose needs to wear that dress more often, cause DAMN.
Why would there be more of our kind in this town?
And then I saw us in two peoples mind. Us walking up to the door. One of the others can see visions of the future? And one can read minds like I can?
Oh, lovely. We walked up to the door and knocked. We heard hushed conversation from inside, and I continued hearing confused thoughts.
I sighed and turned to Liberty as I heard the entire family approach the door.
"Are you ready?" I mouthed. She nodded. The door opened slowly, and a blonde haired male smiled at us.
"Trick or treat." I smiled confidently at the five pairs of shocked eyes.
