Candice – Blake Lively (Actress from Gossip Girl)
Chapter 14
Welcome Fellow YorkEdward rushes to the window and stares as Helena throws the flailing Renesmee in her Pagani Zonda.
" I can still save her!" Jasper cries as he watches Nessie struggle.
" There's nothing we can do," says Bella simply.
" Oh have some damn heart Bella! Don't you at least want to try?" Alice asks, frowning.
Bella continues to stare out the window. The Cullens watch as the Zonda races out, Renesmee no longer visible.
All of the Yorks have their own cars, each York getting in theirs in synchronization. Candice gets in her white Mercedes CLS, Leo in his yellow Porsche Carrera GT, Justin in his charcoal gray Jaguar XK, and then finally Ricci in her stunning red Ferrari California.
" They have some dang smoking cars. Why can't we have stuff like that, Carlisle?" asks Emmet, whistling.
Carlisle bristles and shouts back," Can't you think of something else more important Emmet? Renesmee is gone and I have no plan. No freaking plan. As for the cars, we're not as spoiled and rotten as them. We don't steal treasures and money from major banks… like them. And we certainly do not just take other members of other covens."
Emmet hangs his head and everyone looks down.
-------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Renesmee wakes up, drowsy, and takes a look around. She jolts as she remembers being taken away with Helena York in the Zonda.
Her eyes open wide and she stares into the striking eyes of the most beautiful man she has ever seen.
" She's awake!" calls Justin, staring at the terrified girl's eyes.
" Oh yah, whoopee," mutters Candice from beside Nessie. " The hybrid is awake. Just great. So excited."
Leo bends down next to Nessie. " Why did we have to take her, Helena? She's not really joining the gang?"
Helena doesn't answer but continues to stare at the tree in front of her. Nessie takes a peek around and sees they are in the forest, darkness cowering around the corners of the light cast by the bonfire in the middle of the ring. Nessie tries to move but she finds her hands bounded with ropes behind her.
" Is she?" asks Leo, now worried.
Helena spins around. " Yes she is. Until the Cullens demand her back in exchange for our conquering of Forks. I never really thought about it actually."
" About what?"
" The rule about taking something they love the most. It's the most perfect plan ever."
" Huh."
Candice pips in, " So now what do we do to the hybrid?"
Nessie, anger and frustration boiling inside her, seethes, " Don't call me 'hybrid'. My name is Renesmee. Ms. Cullen to you."
" Ooooh!" Justin jokes. " Did you just hear that?"
" Sounds like someone's got the case of the mondaaayyysss."
Laughter.
Nessie continues, " Just wait. My boyfriend Jacob'll come for me and kick all of you in the butts. Then you'll have to hop all the way back to New York City."
The Yorks burts out in manic laughing.
Candice manages to blurt out between gasps, " Watch out! Little girl's boyfriend gonna come! Oh Justin, I'm so scared! What shall we ever do?" Justin elbows Candice playfully in the ribs and she collapses in laughter on the forest ground.
Leo is the only one not laughing but just stares solemnly at Renesmee, obviously feeling bad.
Helena says to Nessie, entertained, " You're clearly underestimating our power Ms. Cullen." She pauses. " Wait, wait, wait…you're not Ms. Cullen any more are you? You're Renesmee York!!!"
Everyone stops laughing and glares at the new member.
Nessie squeaks out, worried now, " I…a-am..not Renesmee York. I will never be in your coven. Never."
" That's good," says Candice dryly.
" But you are," contemplates Helena. " Until we trade you for Forks."
Silence.
" Where's Rick, or Rilla –," asks Candice randomly.
" Ricci?"
" Yeah."
Justin answers, getting up, " She's with her friends up in Vancouver. We don't need her right now."
Renesmee scowls and tries unsuccessfully to untie the ropes on her hands.
" You hungry?" asks Leo, trying to be helpful. Nessie stares at him in hidden shock. Leo actually seemed like he wanted to be considerate and maybe nice to her, unlike Candice.
" Yeah," admits Renesmee.
" Your kind gets hungry?!" inquires Justin, eyes widening.
" Yeah, I'm a 'hybrid'."
Helena questions, " You want any restaurant food? We got a What-a-burger down the road. Or how about Burger King?"
Nessie says, " Wait. Why are you giving me food? Aren't you suppose to be…torturing me or something?"
" You're part of our coven, sweetie."
Nessie winces. " No restaurant food. Blood, please."
" Do you prefer people from Forks or what?"
Nessie gasps in horror. " Not human blood! Animal, I mean."
Candice wrinkles her nose. " Diiissscccuuussstttiiinnnggg."
Nessie glowers at her. " Shut up. I guess human food."
" From where?"
Nessie shrugs. " I don't know."
The Yorks stare at each other.
Justin very quickly unties the ropes and grabs Nessie's hands in his.
" What the –."
He pulls her to into the forest, the other Yorks following them.
Nessie complains, " Where are we going?"
" To a restaurant."
------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
At ten o clock, the York cars all pull into the Pizza Hut parking lot.
" Pizza hut? Are you kidding me?" asks Nessie, stunned.
" Yeah," says Justin in the driver's seat of the Ferrari California.
The California, with the top down, parks to the side of the other York cars. Renesmee opens the metal door and it swings upward. She uncomfortably gets out, Justin immediately grabbing her hand in his, his iron grasp tightening.
" Tonight, under a human alias, you will be my girlfriend, Ms. York," Justin smiles.
Renesmee yells, " No, I will not be!" but secretly inside she feels a spark of excitement, being "girlfriend" to this fine-looking man.
Candice scowls from behind, apparently mad at her Justin flirting with another undead.
Behind them are the shape shifters, hiding in the shadows, Jacob, Quil, and Embry.
