Chapter Fifty One
Eddie's PoV
20th April 2008
When I look back on the first year of my life, I think of all the heart ache and terrible things that happen. It's only recently that everything seems to be falling into place, it's only recently that everything seems perfect. Too perfect.
Deep down I know that this perfect act cannot last, it's like treading on thin ice, sooner or later the façade will break and leave you with a whole damned mess to clean up.
I guess that things could be different this time, it has been calm for months, not a bad thing has happened, unless you count Madison refusing to go hunting or to drink blood. She thinks she can live of human food, and not the meat. The vegetables. She really is a vegetarian Vampire, a real one. Sometimes she caves and goes hunting, but she always manages to leave the Animal alive, taking only enough blood to make the animal still live.
Tara and Me seem to be drifting apart again, but I also have good news, it looks as though Mary will be with us for many years to come, and she will eventually catch up with us all in growth, witch genes are weird. But then, so are vampire witch blood children and half vampires, so I guess we all match really.
Today started like any other day, I woke up, had no breakfast (Human food is now too disgusting to eat.), got dressed into day time clothes and went out to Grandpa Carlisle's house to get Tara.
Sure, the morning started off normal.
As it got towards 11am, Tara came down the stairs dressed in a rather baggy top and shorts.
"Lets sneek out, Eddie, all us children should go to the beach!" She whispered quickly.
"No we can't, Tara." I said a little too sternly. Tears sprouted in her eyes.
"It was only an idea." She mumbled.
"Sorry…" I muttered quickly, I hated showing emotion, "Why don't you just ask Grandpa if you can go?" I asked her.
"He always says no." Tara said quietly.
"Grandpa!" I yelled, waiting for his response.
"Yes? Eddie?" He asked questioningly.
"Can we all go to the beach please?" I shouted again, quieter this time.
"If you watch the girls, yes!" He said.
I looked at Tara and couldn't help but smile a little sarcastically, "Told you he would let us."
"Shh." Was all she said before sticking her nose in the air and walking out of the door towards my house.
"Tara! Wait! Jeeze. I was only joking!" I said, exaggerating a huff.
Tara stopped, turned and started to giggle, her laugh was night, it was quiet but it twinkled around the trees echoing like a wind chime.
I laughed with her and I was supprised to see she stopped as soon as I had started, looking at me open mouthed. I stopped at her expression and frowned heavily.
"Whats wrong now?" I asked, self consciously.
"You laughed!" She exclaimed.
"What's your point?" I asked a little micked off.
"You never laugh!" Tara explained.
"I do!"
"No you don't!" she began to giggle again at my expression and I couldn't help but chuckle along with her. She seemed so happy and care free today, I couldn't help but feel like that. Everything seemed to be setting into place, everything was perfect.
Tara's PoV
Later we all strolled along the beach, all of us children I mean! Exept Mary, she was too young. Madison looked older now, about 5, and with us she was aloud out.
I liked Madison, she was unusual, even for a vampire, but so sweet. She never killed, not ever, she always managed to leave blood in the animals she drunk from so they could live. I never understood this, but she would always tell me that Animals had souls even if she didn't.
Madison looked more and more like Renesmee everyday, she has the same thickly arched brows, high cheekbones and plump lips. Her eyes were the same shape as Nessie's, but hers were gray-blue with hints of green and silver and hazel-brown in the centre with darker blue around the rim.
When she caught you with her gaze, you can't help but get lost in her eyes, I sware she could hypnotise you without using her power on you. That was the most amazing thing about Madison, she had any and every power possible because her power is to physically and mentally manifest powers. The bitch.
And I thought my power to make people see, hear, smell, taste and feel things was good! She could do that 10 times over and still beat me in a fight.
As we strolled, I saw Charlotte looking out at the sea, "What you looking at?" I asked.
"I was just wondering how wonderful it must be to live in the sea, how beautiful it must be under there." Charlotte turned to me and smiled warmly.
I smiled back, knowing what she meant, I had thoughts about things like that sometimes. Wondering wild thoughts that never really seemed to go away, they would just change over time into dreams or fantasies I had.
"Whats your dream?" I asked Charlotte.
"What do you mean?" She said confusingly.
"What do you want to do when you are older?" I asked.
"I want to live in New york and be in broadway!" She cried happily.
"What about you, Nessie? Eddie? Maddie?" I asked them all.
"I want to be a doctor like grandpa and live in a giant house with lots of children and my soul mate." Renesmee said.
"I guess that I would like to have a nice house, a family… but what I would love to do is be in a band and play music." Eddie said, grinning.
"I want to travel and help people and animals. I want to save the world." Maddie said.
"You can't save the world, Maddie!" Said Nessie to her little sister.
"Momma said you can save the world a little bit at a time." Madison said.
And the afternoon continued in complete and utter bliss….
