31st October. . . .
Nessie's POV
Today was the day of the school Halloween party and I was nervous. Over the past three weeks, Alice has been preparing for this, buying decorations, music and costumes and finally it was all coming to life.
The front was covered with cobwebs and now, the bell was programmed to scream, when it was pressed. The lounge also had many cobwebs, skulls and was completely dark, apart from some luminous lights and pumpkin lanterns with candles in them. They had put in a dance floor and the music was ready to go. There were also a few skeletons hanging from the ceiling, which sometimes would brush the top of your head, sending chills down anyone's spine.
The food had also been modified with a green punch that looked like poison, but was in fact, a mixture of juice and green food dye. There was also a cake, made out of a skull, which looked very real and sandwiches cut and changed into fingers.
Next, Alice had been preparing costumes. I had no idea what to be so she had picked something out for me.
So now everyone, was in the lounge, performing last minute decorations, and Alice as usual, was decorating everything with some fairy lights. The fairy lights were different to normal, though, instead of normal ones, they were skull and pumpkin – shaped one, and glowed quite dimly, giving them an eerie effect. At this moment she was on Emmett's shoulders, hanging up the last of them.
'Aunt Alice?' I asked her
She looked down and saw me 'hey hun,'
'Uh, where's my costume?'
'Give me a sec' and she stood on Emmett's shoulders, balancing easily, before back flipping off him. I wasn't shocked, because, well, being around my family, nothing seemed to shock me at all.
She smiled at me and spoke to Emmett quickly 'Thanks Em, can't believe for once I felt really tall'
Emmett laughed and replied 'You're welcome, but don't get use to it, shortie'
She shook her head, took my hand and ran up the stairs,
'Ok, it's up here. Now don't yell at me, but I saw it and thought that you would look great. I'll leave you to get change, but tell me when you are ready as me and Rosalie are gonna be doing your hair' she skipped out of the room and I could hear her yelling
'LESS THAN TWO HOURS PEOPLE, TIME TO START GETTING READY IN COSTUME!!'
I pulled the outfit out of the bag and gasped.
Alice is so dead I thought to myself
It was a devil costume – with horns on a Alice band, a fitted red top, with ribbon at the front and back to do it up, and a just above the knee crimson skirt. I shook my head,
God help me. I'm going to look like a complete idiot.
I sighed but began to put it on, struggling with the top but finally managing to get it on. I looked at me feet – I had no shoes and I looked in the bag wondering if I had missed them. Just when I was hunting around the floor, Alice and Rosalie came in, both holding hair accessories in their hands. I was surprised to see that they hadn't got change yet.
'You look great' Alice told me, handing me a pair of shoes 'I forgot to give you these'
They were red sequined pumps and looked like something out of the 'Wizard of Oz'. I slipped them on and then sat in the chair.
'Right, let us work our magic' Rosalie told me, dropping all the items and started to brush my hair.
'I think they you should leave it down' Alice told me 'but we could curl the ends of the hair, that would look great'
'Yeah, I think so too' Rosalie agreed and plugged in some curling irons.
Alice went round to my face and started to put make up on me. I put my hands in front of my face,
'I thought you said, only hair'
'I lied, but come on, Nessie, you'll look great, you're almost 12, you gotta live, girl' she laughed and began to pull out some lipstick.
I closed my eyes and just prayed it would all end soon.
Luckily my wish came true and soon I didn't recognise myself. My hair was curled at the ends and my face looked completely different. My eyes were outlined in black, I had a smokey grey on my lids and my lips were blood red.
Rosalie and Alice seemed pleased 'Perfect, you definitely look like a devil, anyway we've got to go and get changed see you downstairs'
Then I was left alone and decided to go downstairs. It was completely empty, apart from a guy in a red and black jacket. He turned and I saw it was Jacob. He gasped when he saw me 'Nessie? Is that you?' he asked
'Erm, yeah, I have come to take your soul' I told him and laughed 'and who are you?'
'Michael Jackson'
I shook my head at him, confused
'You know Michael Jackson out of 'Thriller'' he said
'Oh.. nope still no clue'
'Don't worry it's before you're time'
'It's before you're time too isn't it, Jake?' my mom asked him. She looked, almost like me in a devil out fit but had white wings on her back. Rosalie went to her side and was dressed to match,
'And you are?' Jake inquired
'Hell's Angel's' she said
Then Emmett came into the room, dressed as a grizzly bear 'Aren't they a motorbike gang?'
'Yeah, it's supposed to be a joke' Rosalie told him and planted a kiss on his bear mouth. He laughed from underneath the suit and went off to prepare the music.
Esme and Carlisle came into the room and were dressed as a pair too. Carlisle was a mad scientist, with white overalls, red splodges and big, glasses, and Esme was his assistant, with a hump and crazy hair.
Next, Jasper and Alice came into the room. Jasper was dressed as a soldier, wearing his old army uniform from his days in the war and it looked really great. Alice, quite comically, had come as a fortuneteller. She was wearing an old shawl and a long colourful dress. She wore one gold hoop on her ear and was carrying a crystal ball. She spoke 'Now, if you think mine was funny, wait till you see Ed's outfit'
Sure enough through the door walked my dad and everyone burst out laughing. He had come as a vampire!. He was wearing a long, black cape and underneath a white shirt and black trousers, fangs in his mouth and was sprouting a Transylvanian accent, 'I've come to suck your blood' he told me,
'Well, that's original' my mom muttered, sarcastically,
My dad dropped the accent and spoke 'Nobody said it had to be original. Besides I wonder if people will make the connection' he laughed.
'That's some sick joke' Jacob said
'Ed, you have to admit..' Jasper began
'Would everyone lay off my outfit!' My dad yelled. Then Emmett started up the music and soon there was a scream from the doorbell.
I rushed over to the door and opened it, to see Tia, Jamie and Caitlyn outside.
'Come in' I told them
'That's a cool outfit' Jamie said to me
'Thank you and I love all of yours – they're great'
Jamie was dressed as an angel, all in white, with very neutral make-up as well. Caitlyn was dressed as a fairy – all pink and sparkly, she even had sparkling wings. The one outfit that intrigued me the most, was Tia's – she looked very much like a werewolf, apart from being on two feet. I looked toward Jake, who seemed as shocked as I was, put soon forgot about it.
'Oh my word the house looks soo spooky!' Caitlyn cried, looking around and up at the ceiling.
'Yeah, well, you can thank Alice for that' I told them pointing over at her, already she was dancing, her crystal ball in her hand, yet she was still as graceful as a ballerina. They ran off to thank her and I was alone again. I went to stand with Jasper and Jacob at the snack table.
Soon, the doorbell rang again and my dad went to answer the door, putting on his Dracula voice, 'Welcome, unsuspecting victims'. He frowned to see who it was.
It was Luke and some his friends. He had come as Van Helsing, the vampire slayer. He was wearing a long coat and trousers, with a Stetson and was carrying a cross and a string of Garlic.
Jasper burst out laughing 'Ooh, I'm so scared, the widdle vampy slayer is coming to get us, help, HELP!' Jaz said.
I couldn't help but giggle as well. I went over to Tia, Jamie and Caitlyn, who were still talking to Alice.
'Guys, Luke just turned up but look at his costume' I said pointing in his direction. They looked to where I was pointing and frowned,
'Where?' Jamie asked
'Yeah, I don't see him' Tia agreed
'Miaow, Nessie' a voice muttered behind me. I turned it was Luke and some of his friends. He continued 'If you're the Devil I want you to take me to hell now'
Jamie pushed past 'Luke leave her alone or I'll kick your butt'
'Woah, Jamie is that you? Forget about hell I wanna go to heaven'.
There was a cough behind us and we all turned to see – my dad, Jacob and Jasper, arms folded and looking at Luke and his groupies.
'You leave these girls alone or else' my dad warned him
'Or else what?' Luke asked
'Or else you'll wish you came better prepared' Jacob informed him
'Little slayer boy' Jasper told him
With that he went off to another part of the downstairs. I turned to the terffying trio,
'Thanks guys' I said to them
'No, probs, sweetie' they replied.
I looked at Tia, Jamie and Caitlyn, we all burst out laughing and began to dance. It was so fun, and soon they music changed to the song 'I wanna dance with somebody'. My mom, Alice and Rosalie were going crazy. Soon there was a tap on my shoulder, I turned to see a zombie in ragged clothes, I looked closer and saw a familiar smile – it was Reese!
I hugged and told him 'hi, I didn't think you were coming'
'Yeah, I'm sorry I'm late, my friends were also getting into their costumes' he told, pulling away from the hug and pointing over to other zombies and then taking a look at me. His mouth fell open, he shut it quickly,
'Whoa, Ness, you look…erm..great' he looked away, to the sound system.
'Do you wanna dance?' he asked, put out a hand, I took it and said
'Why not?'
And soon we were dancing madly on the dance floor. Then Jacob tapped him on the shoulder and whispered something is his ear, he nodded and followed Jake away. I was worried – please don't let Jake do anything to him.
Suddenly other music came on, it sounded very poppy with a big beat and Jacob came to the middle of the dance floor. Soon Reese and his other friends joined him. They all began dancing and were all in sync. I was surprised at this. I looked at Jamie 'It's the thriller dance – it's really well-known' she told me
Its close to midnight and something evils lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
Youre paralyzed
Reese's zombie clan was going crazy and trying to get Jacob, and when Jake turned around they began dancing again.. It was so funny to watch.
Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no ones gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know its thriller, thriller night
Youre fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
You hear the door slam and realize theres nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if youll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin up behind
Youre out of time
Soon others had got on the dancefloor, including my mom and dad, and were performing the Thriller dance. I just shook my head in embarassment.
Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There aint no second chance against the thing with forty eyes
You know its thriller, thriller night
Youre fighting for your life inside of killer, thriller tonight
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
Theres no escapin the jaws of the alien this time
(theyre open wide)
This is the end of your life
Then Tia, Caitlyn, and Jamie, joined them as well and were dancing too. Reese came over to me and pulled me onto the dance floor as well,
'I can't dance like this' I told him
'Don't worry follow my lead' and so I did and thankfully to my 'genes' I kept up very well.
Theyre out to get you, theres demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
All thru the night Ill save you from the terror on the screen,
Ill make you see
That this is thriller, thriller night
cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
Thriller here tonight…..Soon they party was over and everyone was going home. They all thanked me for a great time. Tia, Jamie and Caitlyn were invited to stay over and soon all the people were left were us and Reese. He was making a call to his mum to come pick him up.
'She's not picking up' he told me 'how am I gonna get home, my borther's away and my bikes in the garage'
I thought for a minute, I ran over to my mom and asked if he could stay the night too. She nodded and went upstairs to get more pillows and duvets.
'You can stay here if you want' I told him
He nodded and ended the call. 'If you're sure' he spoke quietly
'Sure'
Soon we were all downstairs and ready for bed, well as ready as we could I had forgotten to bring over some pyjamas and Reese didn't have any either, so we went to sleep as a zombie and devil. Alice, Jaz, Em, Rosalie, Esme and Carlisle went out hunting and mom and dad were upstairs to make it look like they were all upstairs asleep.
The party had made me tired and in a few minutes I was sound asleep. . . .
