Renesmee's POV.
"Renesmee, you have thirty seconds to be in my car, or else I will pick something out for you!" Alice threatened. That was something I did not need. I raced downstairs, and was in the Porsche in ten seconds. "Thank you." Alice smiled. This was going to be a long, but fun day. Shopping for my first dance dress, with my mom and aunties. I felt normal for once. I smiled to myself, being this happy wasn't usual for me, but I could definitely get used to it. Probably the biggest part was Jacob. He'd healed from our incident in the forest, with a few light pink scrapes on his back. Carlisle thinks that some venom was induced so they may stay permanently. Everything seemed so clear now, the fights and mistakes so stupid. I lay back against the leather, letting Jacob's image cloud my mind until finally, we arrived at Alice's destination: "the best mall in the world." I nodded along with her assumption.
We followed Alice, who walked briskly through the mall, ignoring the stares of all the males there. One attractive, cocky man came up to Rosalie and put his arm around her. She shrugged away, but he was persistent.
"Hey baby. Your body is like a temple." He grinned.
All of us suppressed the urge to laugh. "Sorry." Rosalie said. "There are no services today." He walked away, disgruntled, and greeted by a gang of laughing friends. Rosalie shook her head and muttered something. She linked arms with Mom and me and we entered the shop that Alice was already enjoying. I prowled round the racks, touching the light fabric of the dress, each so differently beautiful. Not watching where I was walking, I banged into what seemed to be a pile of walking clothes.
"Erh, sorry?" It was almost a question.
"Nessie, take the top seven dresses." Alice's bossy voice commanded. "Bella, the next four and yours, the next five are Rose's and the last four are mine. Thank heavens this dance is formal, gives you a better selection! " She sped off to the changing rooms. I went into a stall beside her, and began to try on the assortment of dresses. Finally, after about half an hour of twirling in the room, I slipped back into a light purple dress. It was strapless, and somehow managed to give me the appearance that I had a bust. It clung perfectly, and ruffled out just after my hips. A deeper purple bow was wrapped around the waist. Alice had amazing taste.
"Nessie, honey? You ready?" Mom's voice called.
"Yeah." I called back.
Mom, Alice and Rose walked in; each dressed in a dress of their choice. Mom gasped and put her hands over her mouth.
"You're so beautiful. Like your father." Her voice broke. I pulled her into a hug, and she dry sobbed into my shoulder. Both my aunts were looking very proud. Mom stepped back to look at me, and it almost broke my heart how beautiful she was. All of them. Mom's dress was blue, which I knew my dad loved on her, matching her skin and hair tone perfectly. It fell elegantly over her slender body. Rose had selected a beautiful shade of pink, with little silver diamonds and a split up her never-ending legs. Alice had a gorgeous red dress, shorter than ours, but because of her height it came right down to the same length mine came, nearly to the floor. I smiled and complimented them each. The shop assistant came to the door, asking did we need any help. She gawked when she looked at us; amazed by us.
"Wow," was all she could manage. I could almost feel the jealousy coming off her as she glanced at my mom. I felt a rush of pride. After we got changed back into our now seemingly boring clothes, Alice paid for the dresses with one of Carlisle's numerous cards; it was a treat from him, he'd said. Alice dragged us round the mall for several more hours, wanting to find the "perfect accessorises." I would see Jacob at six, we'd arranged. It was 4.48pm. I could wait. I breathed a little bit louder than necessary, impatiently watching Rose try on several pairs of sparkly heels. After what seemed like forever, we were back in the Porsche speeding home.
5.26pm.
"So Nessie, are you excited about your first big dance?" Mom asked.
"Yes! Jake and I will have so much fun! I can't wait; I can't even believe Jake is mine to go with. How did I deserve him mom? I was so terrible to him, yet he still loves me!"
"Sounds like a certain brunette I know," Alice chimed in, looking pointedly at mom. She looked out the window with a silly grin on her face.
5.28pm.
The clock could not be serious. That had to be at least half an hour! Two minutes! Does the torture ever end? I groaned aloud, closing my eyes wishing time would go faster.
Jacob's POV. (Simultaneously to Nessie's)
Nessie was gone today; it would be a long day. Out of sheer boredom, I decided I would go for a run. I hadn't phased in what felt like ages, and now I was well enough to change. I asked the Carlisle about it, he said okay as long as I didn't overdo it. The rest of the Cullen's were either shopping or hunting, so it felt nice to get away from the smell. I still wasn't completely used to it. Phasing was so natural for me, but it was a surprise when a scream came into my head. My immediate thought was Leah, but I didn't know why.
"Hello?" I thought.
"HELP!!" Screams took over my head, making it difficult to find the problem. "I'm crazy," the voice said. "Crazy." And there was another one, a female, who wasn't Leah. It was quieter, silent crying.
I racked my brains for a rational response to this. I had a flashback.
On the way to Sam's, Billy told us about the new twins who had moved to La Push, they were Colin's cousins. A boy and a girl, Billy told us. I wondered if they were Quileute, and would they transform.
"What age are they?" I asked.
"Fourteen. They wouldn't change for about a year or so probably." Billy replied knowing my thoughts.
Colin's cousins. So they changed, and were probably terrified at this moment. "Where are you?" I thought.
"At the forests in La Push. Who are you? What's wrong with me?"
Sympathy crushed me. "I'll be there in a minute. Stay still."
I took off at full speed rushing towards the woods. Leah would be pleased there was another female now, I thought. Deep in the forest, two wolves were growling as if in pain. One was a tiny brown one, I'm guessing the girl, and the other was larger, and black like Sam.
"Calm down. You won't be back to normal until you're calm." I ordered, my alpha voice taking control. They swayed at jumped, growling for nan hour while I restrained them from doing something terrible. I needed help, and was glad when Leah entered my mind. Within minutes, she was by my side. It all happened at once, strangely. The male wolf froze, and looked at Leah, and she done the same. Both transferred back into humans, and the staring continued. Leah's face lit up, she was glowing, as was the boy. I stood in shock, confused. They'd imprinted, on each other. I took in the boy's appearance, his skin was the same shade as mine, and his hair was a shiny black. He looked about eighteen, but from what Billy had said he could only be fifteen at the oldest. Those werewolf qualities sure come in handy when pulling girls.
"Hi." Leah said shyly, in a voice I've never heard her use before. It embarrassed me.
"Hey." He replied, looking at her in amazement.
I thought it would be appropriate to phase, but I tried to get the female to calm down first. She phased eventually, at curled up in a ball in the corner. When I was human, I want over and comforted her. I asked her name, and she answered timidly with "Katelyn." Her brother, she said, was called Keith. Leah and I sat down on a tree and began to explain some legends, explaining what had happened to them. The shock on their faces was unbelievable.
"You mean you've never heard the legends before?" I asked.
Keith stuttered. "I-I-yes, but they can't be- not a chance. Impossible!"
I smiled weakly. "Sorry kid. They're all true. How about we get you back home and Colin will be able to answer anymore questions, he's one too."
Katelyn was on the verge of tears, and Leah put her arm around her. "I know its hard sweetie; I've been the only girl for a while. You'll be okay, I promise. I'll answer any questions." Katelyn nodded silently. "C'mon, we'll walk back."
"No, wait. Leah, can I ask you something?" Keith said.
"Yeah sure," she blushed. He stood their uncomfortably, not knowing what to do. "Imprinting?" Leah finished. He nodded lamely. Sam entered the forests at that moment, looking directly at me.
"You okay Jake? I heard about these two. Their dad told me about their behaviour, I guessed."
Leah's face was ecstatic. It lit up and suddenly, she threw herself into Keith's arms. "Thank you," she whispered. He was dumbfounded. Sam looked confused for a moment, and then it clicked with him.
"Lee-Lee? You imprinted?" Her eyes filled with tears and she nodded. Sam hugged her too while Keith still looked confused.
"Can somebody tell me what's going on here?" He asked.
I checked my watch, and I had to meet Nessie soon. "Sam I have to go, can you get them home?"
"Sure. Go ahead." He smiled and went over to Katelyn, who still looked disturbed.
I ran back to the Cullen house and full speed and fell into the couch, tired. Nessie should be home anytime; at least I didn't have to spend the entire day waiting on her endlessly. I tapped my foot impatiently until finally she burst through the door.
"Jacob!" She screamed and threw herself into my arms.
"Hey beautiful, I missed you." I kissed her little nose. "Get a dress?"
"Yeah, but you can't see it until tomorrow night!" She smirked.
She turned away from me, and ran upstairs carrying a bunch of bags. I watched her beauty pass me, feeling my heartbeat increase, and waited for her to come down so we could have some time alone.
Sorry it's been a while. I have a hectic schedule these days, and this is a long chapter. It took me ages to find pictures of dresses; they're the closest I can get to what I'm imagining. Also, I really wanted Leah to have a happy ending, and some bonding time for Nessie. All their dresses will be available on my profile to see. I'll update sooner this time! Very nearly finished.
