Chapter 11

Now, I'd like to thank wingedspirit for this idea. I was checking on my reviews when I saw hers. And I thought, hey why not? It sounds like fun. So I did it and it turned out to be a whole chapter. I hope you like it! And for my grammar mistakes, can you be specific? I want to know what I'm doing wrong.

Anna's POV

There she was. Sleeping, now. Bella talks in her sleep, but she still manages to snore. Knowing my cousin very, very well I know that she only snores when she's really tired. Exhausted. And last night she was so worn out that her eyelids were too tired to keep her eyes open; she fell asleep in the car! Well, for a second at least. And then we were at the house.Wow, Alice really knows how to drive! I mean from Seattle to Forks that quick?! It's impossible.

The thing that I've realized about the Cullen's in my short stay is that they are really pale. I mean they're all really pale. The palest people on the planet. Bella looks as dark as I do when she stands next to them! And their eyes! Man oh, man! Those are some killer eyes. I can't tell Bella this or else she'll think I'm crazy, but... They change colors! The eyes I mean. It's so weird! One minute they're like, yellow. The next there more of a dirty blond-ish hue.

I started to get impatient, sure her cousin should sleep, but she's been sleeping for so long! My stomach grumbled. That and I'm starving. Esme made pancakes; I can smell them from here! And to think, I thought they were some sort of weird monster that didn't eat.

So, as years of experience I know what can wake her up--fast. I jumped on her bed. Still jumping I started singing, I am completely aware of the fact I can't sing. Actually, no one in my family can sing well. We are a bunch of tone death wackos.

Bells turned around and mumbled something that sounded like,"Shut up, I'm sleeping."

I giggled. That's good, phase one is complete. I placed my face close to hers, so close I could feel her breathing on my face. Poking her nose with one finger, Bella turned around sharply. Her back was towards me and her side was poking out from her t-shirt. Perfect. I pinched.

"Bella!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. She tossed and turned in attempt to get away from me and stay in slumber land. Too bad it didn't work. Jumping on the bed I saw her stay in one place for a little too long.

She's going to wake up! I realized. I made a quick drop so, again, I was face to face with Bella. Her eyes fluttered open slowly. They, the eyes, widened in surprise and horror.

She screamed.

You'd think that since I've been doing this for twelve years she'd be used to it. Well, she's not. I cracked up laughing. Her cousin is so gullible! And such an easy target.

Her finance busted through the door. None of the bronze hairs on his head were out of place. His shirt nor his pants were wrinkled. Not even a slight trace of drool on his chin. What is with this boy?! He's so insanely perfect it's scary! And his face when he walked in the room, you'd think he was suspecting to find a murder or something. God, he has to just relax!

Edward's POV

She screamed.

I felt a rage and worry fill through me. Could it be the Vourtili? Had they finally decided to come and wreck havoc on my Bella? My sweet, innocent, fragile Bella? If they would hurt her or take her away from me, I'd--I'd track her down. Although, I've recently figured out that I'm not going to be in the running for 'all time best tracker' anytime soon.

I busted the door open, not caring about what damage I could do to the door, or anyone near the door. Baring my teeth slightly to intimidate whoever made Bella scream.

And to my surprise no one was in there, at least no one new. No one who wanted Bella dead. No one who wanted Bella to be a vampire and serve them for an eternity. Only thing I found was two girls laughing, at each other.

Damn that boy runs hella fast!

I heard. I whipped my face in Anna's direction. What a strange girl she is. All this time I've been with her there has been no vile thoughts of me in her head. This was a change of pace, and a good one at that. It's so annoying, human's self-absorbed devotion or ones yearning for those who are beautiful makes me sick. How can such a creature be so vain?

I sighed, out of the girls easy amusement and of my own stupidity. Who am I to talk about being vain and selfish? I want my Bella so desperately to be a vampire, but I cannot tell anyone about it. How can I do this to such a perfect being? She deserves so much, that those things she deserves to have I cannot possibly give her. But how can I just give her away or toss her aside? I tried that once and it didn't work out too well for the both of us.

What Bella doesn't realize is that I went crazy after I left her. Sure they told her and I've told her, but I can see in her eyes that she doesn't believe that I went insane. Without her presence I fell apart, emotionally and physically. And so, the only thing that didn't drive me over the edge was following Victoria. To picture her dying for wanting to cause Bella so much angst. To picture her cringing in the sight of me when her final hour is up...

I walked downstairs and met the others to prepare to have our pretend breakfast. The were all in their places--Esme at one of the long ends, Alice, then Jasper, then Rose, at the other end sat Emmett taking Carlise place, then I sat there with two empty chairs at my right. Foot-steps were heard down the stairs.

"And action!" Alice sang.

Alice's POV

Oooh! I can't wait for them to come down! We are playing human today, what fun! To not have to worry about worrying about accidentally eating someone! The joys of humanism.

Rose's POV

I can't believe I'm doing this. All for silly Bella who can't possibly see that being a human is so much better than a life as a vampire. The constant thirst, and the feeling of you cannot ever have a family of your own...

Emmett's POV

PANCAKES!!!! YAY!

Jasper's POV

My head is swirling from everyone over-whelming emotions. People, keep your emotions to yourself! I rubbed my aching head.

And the pancakes didn't help either. The smell was making my stomach do flops that I didn't realize it could do. How can someone eat this--this--ugh. I shuddered at the very thought of my lips touching the warm-too-sweet fluffy stuff the humans call food. To make matters worse they put fat on it. Fat, lard, the yellow stuff called butter.

This is going to be a long, long breakfast.

Anna's POV

I skipped down the steps, smelling the pancakes already. I haven't had pancakes in a long time. As a matter of fact, the only reason I ever ate pancakes was because Bella loved them so much. And now, she seems worried and scared. Is she scared of pancakes? I laughed, now that just dumb, no one is scared of pancakes.

I waited at the foot of the stairs. There was Bella being her usual Bella self. She stared at each and everyone of the steps before stepping on it. Each and every inch was carefully thought of before she pressed her foot down on the wooden stair. If I remember right, she fell and twisted her ankle when she was nine. At the time I was, five? Yeah, five. I remember I tried to write, "Get Well Soon!" But most of the letters turned out backwards or so illegible that no one could read it. But Bells told me she loved the little dog that looked more like a hot dog with sticks for legs.

I tapped my foot impatiently waiting for her to finish walking down the steps. I rolled my eyes melodramatically so she could see. She stuck her tongue at me as she reached the final step. I smirked, sure she was nineteen and getting married, but she acted like a kid. I think I'm the only one who she can do that with, act like a kid and be free I mean.

I sat in the free seat across from Alice. She smiled and I returned the favor. I saw that Emmett was the one eating the most and everyone else was barely touching their food. Were they all anorexic?

Rose's POV

I still can't believe I'm doing this. I stared at the weird fluffy stuff they called food on my plate. I took a little bite and swallowed quickly making sure it didn't touch my tongue. Too bad the horrible taste was still in my mouth.

What is she doing? I stared at Bella who was just sitting there staring at us. Her face was all scrunched up in thought. I can see that she's trying to use that tiny brain of hers.

Edward gave me a sharp quick growl, too fast for the humans to hear.

I smirked, he was so over protective. I imagined myself in numerous outfits, I felt Edward immediately out of my head. Ha, he thinks he's so smart!

Anyways, Bella just sit down and pretend that this is what we do everyday! I tried to mentally send to her. She's going to blow our cover. I have to do something at least.

"Well Bella or you going to sit down and eat, or what?" I said impatiently. That snapped her out of her trance. I poked and prodded this stupid meal they call pancakes. I still can't believe I agreed to this.

Emmett's POV

I looove pancakes! Maybe I should get Rose to make these? Or Esme, probably Esme. Rose can't cook to save her life. Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes...

Edward's POV

Bella sat down next to me. Her scent filling me up. She stared at each and everyone of us in curiosity and confusion.

"You're using the dinning table?" she whispered so only I could hear. Although the others heard because of our, as Bella puts it,"Super vampire hearing."

Her breath hit me hard, I gave her a smile. I put my fingers slowly to my lips, indicating to keep it quiet. She nodded, understanding.

I went back to the maneuver Alice showed us, stab and swallow, stab and swallow. Do it slow enough so Anna could see it happening, but fast enough so he couldn't taste much. It hit my stomach hard. How can they eat such things?

Stab, swallow, stab, swallow, stab, swallow, stab, swallow...

Jasper's POV

How can something so tiny and fragile eat something so vile? And so much of it?

Anna's been eating so much pancakes, drowning them in syrup and lathering each and everyone of them with butter.

"Emmett! Stop being a pig!" Rose slapped the back of his head. Her face was wrinkled up in disgust. Her disgust and Emmett's embarrassment hit me hard.

I shuddered at that display his brother was showing and the amount of emotion,"I don't know how you eat that crap."

Anna looked at me curiously,"You don't like pancakes?"

"Not at all," I poked at this pathetic excuse for a meal.

She just shrugged,"It's okay. I rather eat meat and rice for breakfast."

What?! Meat? She eats meat for breakfast like us? What a strange human. I wonder, does she cook her meat--ugh I don't know why they do that--or does she eat it raw. Hmmm... Raw, meat. Bloody warm fresh meat.

"Cooked meat!" Bella whispered harshly so that only we could hear her. Understanding, we all went back our meal.

Okay then, that answers my question, and everyone else's.

Rose's POV

It was time. Bella's going to have the surprise of her life.

"Bells come on!" Anna called to Bella.

What Bella doesn't know is that we're going to get her ready for her honeymoon. Maybe, through this experience she'll learn being a human is much more fun--at times--than being a vampire. Then, she'll run away and have the things that we can never have.

"Come on Bella," I said sweetly. I have to play along with this charade, who knows? It might be fun. She gave me an odd look like she suspected something. Although I doubt that much could go in her head. After all her wedding is soon and all she's probably be worried about that. I know I would be if I was her.

I lead her into our large bathroom that doesn't get used. Yes, we occasionally shower, but we give off a sweet scent so we really can't smell bad. We gave her the clothes she and Alice bought yesterday. I can't believe they bought stuff only for Bella, what about me? I haven't done anything wrong. After she changed we did her makeup quickly. Every single shade complimented Bella perfectly. She looked suitable for going out for once.

We started walking downstairs.

"Where are you taking me now?" she complained.

"You'll see," I sang teasingly. I gave she a smile that made Bella flinch. I giggled at her reaction. Bella is usually fearless. But over one tiny-weeny smile she turns into a chicken.

Her eyes grew wide when she saw the glint of the car. Her mouth dropped open.

Didn't expect this did you?

Edward's POV

"EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!"

I smiled. So she's discovered my present. I got it overnight. I think she likes it. I ran to my Love's side. I was there in no seconds flat, grinning.

"Yes, love?" I smirked at the look on her face. Surprise, slightly angry, and she was trying to hide it but she was happy and excited over her car. I knew I could buy love something she'd enjoy. I was swelling with pride.

"When did he get here?"

I ignored the little human.

"You don't like it?" I made my face fall in disappointment. I couldn't hold my grin anymore,"Do you want me to take it back?" I couldn't help but to tease her. I loved the way panic went across her face.

"NO!" she screamed.

"I thought so," I kissed her forehead softly. I knew she'd love it! Ha, I knew there was something in the world that she wanted that I could buy for her to show my appreciation. It just took a fourteen year old girl to feed me the information.

Alice's POV

Perfect, just like I saw in my vision. Every thing's going according to plan.

"So, Bella. Are you going to get in the car or what?" I popped at Bella's side. The sooner we leave the sooner vacation will start.

"Where am I supposed to go?" Bella whined. Poor Bella, she's not going to be happy about this. Although, I will...

"To your bachelorette party silly!" I giggled. Silly little Bella, you're mad now, but just wait!

"WHAT?!"

I couldn't stop giggling at Bella's surprise, she really thought that I'd plan a wedding, but not plan a bachelorette party? Ha! Silly human.
