I do not own Twilight nor the characters.

Chapter 10- New York

Bella's POV

When we finally saw the lights of the city, the tense mood died down. "Finally, we're here." I said, attempting to break the silence.

"Yeah, about time!" Rose said as she looked out the window.

"I don't think it's a good idea that we go out tonight, girls. It's not that I don't want to, but you know, any place where Victoria could be there, we should stay away from." Esme said. I had normally forgotten that she was only a few years older than us; her maturity showed different.
"Urgh, fine. You guys are such party-poopers." Rose blurted as she slumped back in the seat.

I sighed deeply and opened my window for some fresh air. Maybe tomorrow would be a better day.

"We could rent some movies, and do facials and have a fun girl's night, so in the morning we can SHOP!" Alice said as she clapped her hands at the word.

"Okay, well you girls said that in your, it was dark, right?" Esme asked with a serious tone.

"Yeah, but there was a lot of colored lights flashing everywhere." I said as the memory made me shiver.

"Well that was probably the night club we were going to go to tonight. We shouldn't have too much to worry about. But this does mean that Victoria is close; too close. So watch out, I don't want any mishaps for Bella's wedding." She said with a beaming smile towards me.

"Thanks, Esme." I smiled back at her noticing that my new smile was full of beautifully shaped, vibrant white teeth.

Ahh, yet another one getting married. I'm so glad that my Edward has found someone. I love Bella; she is such a sweet girl. I wonder what movies are out…

It was hard for me to hear her thinking, but I finally started to see Esme as a mother. Her approval suddenly made me think again of Edward and I's wedding; I couldn't wait.

Alice's POV

We pulled up to the large hotel as a valet man in a funny suit took the car.

"This looks nice!" Bella said with beaming eyes. I had forgotten that she wasn't used to expensive things.

"Yeah, not far from downtown." Rose said looking high up to the top of the enormous building.

The glowing "Hilton" sign stood high above my head and the rest of the neon light all around it shined, lighting up the busy city.

When we got inside a huge grand lobby seemed to amaze even me. Everything I saw was so spacious as I walked along the decorated tile floor. When we walked to the front desk a pretty bleach-blonde women talked fakely to us as she welcomed us, "Hi, and welcome to the Hilton New York. How are you folks doing today?"

"We're great!" Bella said with smiling eyes.

"That's fantastic. So how can I help you today?" She said as she typed something on her hidden computer below the desk.

"We'll have a suite for the four of us. Something very nice please." Esme said as she flipped her hair back.

"Great. So I'll check you into our exclusive suite, is that alright?"

"Yes, perfect."

"Alright so here are your door keys and is there anything else?"

"No thank-you."

"So that comes to one thousand three-hundred and sixteen dollars please." She said with a forced smile

Esme pulled out her credit card and handed to the woman.

Bella had a strange look on her face like she had seen a ghost. I chuckled to myself at the fact that she was going to be so amazed by our incredible shopping problems tomorrow.

Bella's POV

It was the best night I had ever had. In my life, the girliest person I knew was Renee. Alice, Rosalie and Esme all put together didn't come anywhere close to comparing. We did facials and manicures and had music playing. When 7:00 a.m. finally came, it felt like we had merely just started. It was so much fun.

"Taxi!" Rose yelled as she swung her arm in the air. Four different taxis stopped for us; no surprise.

We went to what seemed like a million stores when we came upon a small but elegant boutique. We stepped inside the bright room that was full of wedding dresses. They were all so beautiful; I couldn't really remember what the dress in my vision was like, and then within a second, the vivid picture re-appeared in my head.

It was a champagne colored halter dress that flowed along my new curves into a perfectly-lengthed train.

"So which one is it?" Alice said knowing I had just seen it. I gazed around the small room until I saw it. It was on a Manequin that stood about the same height as me. Its breath-taking features made me drop my jaw in awe. "This is it." I said simply.

"Okay. Go try it on and let's keep going." Alice said looking at her hands which were full of crammed bags.

"It's a Vera Wang. Very chic. It's a one of a kind. Originally made for a celebrity but the engagement didn't work out." Big surprise.

"Oh, that's good, now try it on, we have more to see!" Alice said lightly pushing me behind the curtain.

As I slipped the dress over my head, it seemed to fit perfectly. The silky fabric slid along my skin and made me shiver with delight.

"Rose, can you tie this up for me please?" I asked Rosalie because Alice obviously had her hands fuller.

"Sure." She said as she pulled the silk ribbons tighter and tied it into a perfect bow at the bottom.

Perfect.

Just like my Edward; he would love it.

"I love it." I said looking in the full-length three-way mirror.

Esme, Alice, Rose and the shop-keeper all had their mouths open in astonishment.

"It's…it's beautiful." The lady managed to get out.

I blushed again.

"Well that's an understatement." Esme said as she rubbed her long fingers along the fabric.

Alice suddenly ran off and came back with an astonishing tiara that sparkled in the bright lights of the shop.

She lightly placed it on my head and smiled with approval.

"Get it." She whispered.

With that I sped into the dressing room and put back on my clothes.

When I took out my new purse I found a credit card with the name Isabella Cullen on the front. My eyes grew wide and I pushed it into Alice's chest.

"No way. I can't accept this from you guys." I said still dazed by the thought of my own credit card.

"Too late." She said and handed it to the woman with a smile.

Alice was always taking care of me.

We had gone into a handful of stores and I now had my hands full of bags. I bought some new clothes for everyday with my new body and a few bags of jewelry.

Rose had bought me a diamond Tiffany's necklace for me; unwillingly. When suddenly, the bright-pink neon sign attracted me towards the store. It was moderately dark inside and crammed full of people but the trendy display of clothes in the dark window had me curious to go inside. There was loud techno music and a large disco ball sending lights every which way in the store. We walked inside when suddenly I inhaled the delicious smell of human blood.

I've got you now Bella. You took my James away from me and now you must pay.

I dropped my many bags on the floor beside me as her fiery red hair flew past me.
