Chapter 9 Nessie's POV

Wait, did Aunt Alice just nod at Caitlyn? Ok yeah so a nod isn't that much of a big deal, normally. With Aunt Alice it could be anything, oh god this is gonna be bad. My dad just chuckled at my thoughts from across the room where he was sat with Mom on his knee.

"Nessie, what do you want for breakfast sweetie?" Oh how I loved my grandma, that didn't mean I wanted food though.

"Urrrrgggg, do I HAVE to eat human food, it's horrible why can't I have blood?" My Grandma bit her lip before looking towards Grandpa.

"Fine Ness but only because it's your birthday, your back to eating normal food tomorrow though, yes?" Yay Grandpa watched me nod at him before running upstairs to get some blood, they no longer let me have the donated human blood I had when I was a baby, they now gave me animal blood, I don't know how or where they got it from but it was good, not as good as human blood of course but better than Human food any day. My grandpa came back into the kitchen and handed Grandma the blood giving a quick peck on the cheek before leaving the room. My grandma turned to face me then, a cup of Blood in one hand and a bowl of cereal she had done for Cait in the other hand. She set the bowl down in front of my cousin who dug in hungrily.

"Do you want this warming up today or not Ness?" she asked, I deliberated for a minute before deciding.

"I'll take it cold today." Grandma put it in front of me and then turned away.

"Thanks Grandma" I said before taking a sip, well more like a gulp of the refreshing drink. I turned to face my cousin next.

"So Cait, what do you wanna do next?" I asked her, she chewed on her cereal then swallowed and answered me.

"Well, we could go chill in your room for a while, check out your new things?" I nodded at her suggestion and drank my blood while she ate her Cereal. Someone- probably my dad- had already taken my things to my room for me so we just went straight up. I love my room here, its pale pink with Dark wooded furniture and a huge double bed. I even had my own bathroom.

Me and Cait just messed about with my new presents for a few hours before My mom, and Aunts came up into my room.

"Ok Ness, go get your dress that you got for your birthday out of your closet and hang it on your door, then go take a shower and hurry up, me your Mom and Rose are gonna do your hair and stuff and then you're gonna put your new dress on and show us what it looks like. 'Kay?" I rolled my eyes at my Aunt Alice but did what she said any way. I got in the shower; the warm water was nice against my skin. I didn't realise I had been in here so long when there was a banging on the door.

"Ness, what are you doing in there? You've been in there 20minutes, Aunt Alice is getting bored and says she's gonna drag you out herself if you don't get out soon and your Moms wondering if you've drowned." God my mom worried to much but I really didn't want Aunt Alice coming in because I knew she would, I turned off the water and stepped out of the cubicle and grabbed a towel before shouting back at Cait

"Ok I'm coming; I'm coming just give me one minute I wrapped the towel tightly around me and stepped out of my bathroom and into my room.

"Well finally, Come on get changed. Hurry up." God my aunt was so pushy. After I was changed in my beautiful purple dress my aunt pushed me into a chair and put a towel around me so my wet hair- which now reached my bum- didn't get the back of my dress wet, My aunt and mom dried my hair then straightened my fringe but curled the rest of my hair in natural looking ringlets, when they finished with my hair I thought they were done but then my Aunt Rosalie came at me with some make-up.

"Rose, not too much please, she's may look older but she's still only a baby." God my mom is so strange and over-protective at times, but I really wouldn't have her any other way, really she was the most normal one here, the rest of my family were just as messed up as me.

"Hey I heard that Ness." Opps, I forgot my dad could hear me.

"Sorry Daddy." I said in my little-innocent- in-so sorry- girl voice. It was then I realised my mom, Aunt Alice and Cait were no longer here, I asked Aunt Rose where they were but she just answered

"Urm, I'm not sure, they will be somewhere." Oh yeah big help Aunt Rose, thanks so much. I heard my dad laugh at that. Aunt Rose kept me prisoner for another twenty minutes before she pronounced me done and presentable. I still didn't know what they were planning and truthfully, I was quite scared. My family were capable of anything.

"Ok then Ness, you ready?" Aunt Rose smiled hugely showing off all her pearly white teeth, some people wouldn't be worried about her huge grin, others would be terrified. I am one of those terrified people.

"Ready for what Aunt Rose, what's going on?" I was getting more scared every second.

"Come with me and you'll find out." Aunt Rose grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room and to the top of the stairs, we started going down the stair case then we turned the corner.

Caitlyn's POV

We finished setting up the rest of the things in the garden for Nessie's party just minutes before she started stumbling down the stairs being pulled by Mom. She turned the corner and then.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY NESSIE" we all screamed, she then screamed and ran down the rest of the stairs grabbing the first two people she saw and hugging them, they just so happened to be her parents. She just kept repeating.

"Oh my god thank-you so much" It was so funny, just then someone hit play on the music and suddenly everyone was dancing. I was stood dancing with Nessie when two more people walked through the front door. Nessie let go of my hands and ran to them.

"Seth, Leah. I can't believe you came." She said pulling them each into a hug.

"Yeah well we couldn't miss our step-niece's (Charlie and Sue got married after the end of breaking dawn and before the start of thee story) Birthday now could we?" Leah said wrapping her arms around Nessie, she never used to like Ness that much apparently but now she does. It's weird.

"Yeah, happy birthday kid." Seth said bringing out a present from behind his back and handing it to Ness. Nessie thanked him before waving over to me, beckoning me forward.

"Seth, Leah, this is Caitlyn, Aunt Rose and Uncle Em adopted her. Cait this is Seth and Leah." I mumbled a hello, before lifting my head as Leah spoke to me.

"So your Blondie's adopted kid. I feel sorry for you." I could tell Leah was joking so I didn't care about what she called Mom or what she said about feeling sorry for me.

"Leah, you no Rosalie isn't bad. You even said yourself you actually kinda like her." Seth said I didn't get chance to look at him before Leah spoke again.

"I was joking Seth, god." I turned to see Seth grinning at his sister before he turned his eyes to me, our eyes locked and I felt like I never wanted to look away, the look on his face was pure Awe, love and excitement.
