Chapter ten
Preparations
Zoe
The rock I held must've been twice my size, and at least 100 times my weight. Alice had insisted that rocks like this one should mark the seating area. Personally, I thought she was acting more like a bridezilla than they actual bride. Bree and Seth agreed with me. I'm pretty sure Rose wants to ring her neck, even though it wouldn't really hurt Alice. When I finally reached the area Alice wanted this rock, I set it down, and made sure it was placed like the others. Seth smiled at me from where he was helping. The wedding was in three days. In three days, I would be around humans for the first time. Seth promised to be nearby, just in case. Bree wasn't nearly as nervous as I was. Then again, she had three months of vampire experience over my head.
"Do you really think they'll believe were sisters?" Bree asked.
"You have the same pale skin!" Leah yelled. I shrugged.
"Maybe half," I said with a shrug.
"Zoe, what did you do to your shirt?" Alice practically screeched as she raced over.
"Boulder, white," I said, pointed to the rock, and then the white sweater she'd insisted I wear. She sighed and dusted me off. Bree was behind her. Laughing. I stuck my tongue out at her. When Alice was satisfied, she ran off to boss Seth and Leah.
"Zoe, Bree, do you want to come look at dresses?" Rose asked from inside. I turned to her and nodded. I liked dress quite a bit. They were so much fun. Rose began to look through several websites that linked to dress shops in Port Angeles. I've never seen so many dresses in my life. Eventually, Bree and I each found ones that we liked. Rose nodded, and set out to get them. Having nothing else to do for an hour, Bree and I hunted. We were almost pros at getting them, and not making a mess. According to Bree, humans tasted better, but hunting animals was much more fun. I didn't know how humans tasted, and I planned to keep it that way. We got back around the same time Rose did, and she let us try on our dresses. I went to my room, and slipped it on. Perfect fit. The dress was white and baby blue stripped, and it hugged my chest. However, it flared out at my stomach, and stopped just above my knees. It looked really good on me. I'd never worn anything like it before. When I was with Lokar, I'd only worn dark colors. Rose came in, and looked at me in awe.
"You look beautiful Zoe," she said. I smiled at her. Rose's eyes shined with tears, even though they'd never fall.
"You're sad?" I asked. She shook her head.
"No baby, I'm so happy we found you," she whispered. I smiled and gave her a hug. Even though I was the living dead, and Zair was nowhere to be found, sometimes, everything seemed like it was going to be okay.
