Chapter 25
Something was going on but nobody would tell me what it was.
I was currently sitting in the passenger seat of my car, while Alice drove. Anna was happily singing along to the music, sitting contently in her car seat. We had gone shoe shopping. The occasion was still a mystery to me, and it would appear that it was going to stay that way. From the secretive smiles and glances I saw Anna give Alice while we were shopping, I knew Anna had to know what was going on. Sadly the little tyke wasn't going to tell me anything.
"I'm not going to tell you." Alice sang, seeing that I was going to ask her once again to tell me what was going on.
Anna laughed in the backseat and I turned and glared at her. "You really shouldn't keep secrets from me Anna."
Alice shook her head. "I can't believe you haven't figured it out yet, Bella."
I racked my brain for anything that could tell me what the special occasion that required me to wear dangerous and possibly deadly high heeled shoes, was. I could only imagine what type of outfit Alice would attempt to get me in when we got back to her house.
Alice's soft tinkling laugh brought me up short.
"Silly Bella, Rose and I will get you into the dress," she said knowingly.
Dress? Danger, warning. All my instincts were telling me to run, to get as far away as I could from Alice, and as fast as I could.
Alice laughed again, shaking her head.
"How do you even know Rose will help you?"
Alice just smiled at me.
Rose, as I had started calling her after the situation down in Phoenix, had been spending most of her time with the little girls. While we had gone shopping she had been taking care of Cissy. I doubt she'd be willing to leave Cissy to help Alice get me to wear a dress.
Cissy had been trying to crawl for a few days now. We were all excited to see this new accomplishment in her life. Some of us like Rose and Emmett were excited. Then there was me, I was still nervous seeing as how she liked connecting her powers to one of the vampires in the family to make herself fast. Grandpa Ray figures she is connecting to Rose, but we can't really be sure.
Grandpa Ray stayed two weeks with us. He couldn't stay any longer than the two weeks, to keep himself hidden from his own troubles, but he promised to come back repeatedly through the rest of the year; as long as it was safe. We've been staying in contact with him, to get help with Cissy.
Her powers are amazing for someone who is only six months old. And lucky for us, her powers are easy enough to train. Most of her ability is instinctual, so it comes naturally to her; because of this we'll be able to hold off actual training until she's a little older. For the most part we just have to monitor what she tries to connect to. We haven't really had any trouble, but that might change once she becomes mobile. According to Carlisle that could be any day now.
We finally pulled up beside the house and Alice hurried us inside.
Anna went off to go find Esme. Her connection with Esme had grown thanks to the whole fiasco with the Undermining. The girls now stayed over at the Cullens' house while I was at school. It was so nice not to have the girls with me. They shouldn't have to sit through high school with me, and now they didn't have to. They could spend the day with Esme, playing and getting the much needed attention children their age usually got.
I was pulled from my thoughts by an over excited pixie. Alice picked me up and ran up the stairs to her room, flying through the door to her bathroom, which was larger than my room at Charlie's house.
Rose was standing behind a chair, waiting for us. "Did you find some shoes?"
"Yes, they are perfect." Alice set me in the chair and Rose started brushing through my hair.
I glanced at Rose in the mirror. "I don't suppose you'll tell me?"
Rose gave me a disbelieving look before turning to Alice. "She still hasn't figured it out?"
Alice shook her head.
Rose laughed and continued with my hair.
The two of them tag teamed to wash my hair. After using some sort of detangler to make brushing the wet hair easier, they both aimed hairdryers at my head.
It was nice to know that some things couldn't be sped up by vampire speed. Rose and Alice were shooting each other nervous glances as they found sections of wet hair that appeared to be hiding from the blow dryers.
"Esme, we need some help, bring Anna," Alice called.
Esme appeared a moment later with Anna. "What's wrong Alice?"
Alice gestured to my hair which still wasn't dry. "We need more blow dryers."
Esme dashed out of the room and returned a few seconds later with two more dryers. She handed one to Anna, and the two of them got to work on my hair.
My hair was completely dry a few minutes later.
Esme and Anna left, and Rose got to work putting my hair in hot curlers. She put some sort of cream like thing in my hair before rolling it in the curlers.
"What do you think about make up?" Alice asked.
"It's a pain," I offered.
They ignored me.
"She doesn't need a lot, her skin looks better bare."
Alice nodded before holding up a tube of lipstick. "Lipstick?"
"And mascara and eyeliner," Rose added, "just a little."
I groaned, causing them to laugh.
"Just be patient Bella, we're almost done." Alice quickly and carefully added the little bit of makeup. "Besides this is fun."
"Oh, well as long as you're having fun."
The two of them just laughed and continued their work.
"Okay, let's go get her in her dress so we can finish her hair." Alice swept me into her arms again and ran me into Rose and Emmett's room.
Laying on their bed was the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. It was a deep blue color, frilly, and off the shoulders. I knew exactly how it was going to fit me just by looking at it.
The shock of how much I actually liked the dress, gave Alice and Rose enough time to get me in it before I could protest, and I was going to. There was no way I could wear the dress that had French tags that I couldn't even read. The dress looked like it should belong on a runway, definitely not in Forks.
Alice didn't give me a chance to look in a mirror until after she and Rose had taken my hair out of the curlers and put my hair into an elaborate curly half up half down style.
The girl in the mirror facing me, was startlingly different than the girl I normal saw. I wasn't entirely sure that I was really seeing myself.
"Okay, Bella, you sit there until we come back for you." Alice carefully helped me back into the chair. "Understood?"
I nodded and the two of them disappeared. As I waited for the two of them to return I thought about what sort of occasion we would be going to. Was there anything fancy enough that required a dress like mine? Before I could come to a reasonable conclusion Alice and Rose walked in looking like two runway models, fit for the dresses they were wearing. Alice had on a black satin dress, while Rose's was scarlet.
"Come on Bella, everyone is waiting down stairs for us." Alice offered a hand and helped me to my feet.
The shoes that we had bought were only held on by satin ribbons, and they certainly would make walking difficult, to say the least.
Rose gently took hold of my elbow. "Don't worry Bella we won't let you fall."
Alice nodded her agreement as she took hold of my other elbow.
The three of us made our way down the hall and towards the stairs. Just the thought of having to walk down those stairs in these shoes made me queasy.
"The three of you better have your eyes closed, and stay out of our heads Edward!" Alice demanded before we could walk into view of the people down stairs.
I heard Emmett grumble and Jasper laughed.
"Alright Alice, their eyes are closed." Esme called up to us.
The three of us walked to the top of the stairs. I gawked at what I saw. Edward, Jasper, and Emmett were dressed in Tuxedos. The dark color against their pale skin made the three of them look even more beautiful. Edward of course was by far the best looking of the three, but I had to admit I was being biased.
I pulled my eyes away from Edward and his beauty, to see everyone else who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
Esme was standing beside Carlisle, holding an extremely expensive looking camera, while he held Cissy. Charlie was holding Anna and she was pointing her small camera at us, snapping pictures repeatedly.
"There is no way I'm walking down the stairs while they're snapping pictures. I'm sure to fall, and I don't want any evidence."
Emmett roared with laughter, completely blocking out the sounds of the others'. I could see Jasper shaking from his laughter and I could feel Alice and Rose shaking. It was obvious that Charlie and Anna were laughing. Edward's lips twitched as he tried to conceal his laughter. Carlisle and Esme managed to stop with an amused smile, but I could tell they were laughing on the inside.
Alice sighed, once all the laughing had stopped. "Okay, the three of you can open your eyes."
The three guys opened their eyes and I was able to tell they were all staring in wonder, before Edward's face pulled away all of my attention. The look of surprise and excitement that was clear on his face threatened to take my breath away. My cheeks flushed red almost instantly, making him smile widely.
His smile dazzled me, and I knew that there was absolutely no way I could possible make it down the stairs now.
I heard soft bells of laughter near me but I didn't care enough to find out who was laughing now, my attention was entirely on Edward.
The next second I was down the stairs, and in front of him. I forced my gaze away from his to see Alice and Rose smiling at me as they took the arm offered to them by their husbands. I grinned sheepishly at them before turning back to my Love.
Anna finally broke the silence that had settled while the three couples had been in awe of each other. "Are we getting pictures or what?" She asked, waving her camera in our directions.
We laughed, but the six of us lined up for pictures.
Esme and Anna got there pictures and after what felt like hours, we finally got in the cars. Rose, Emmett, Alice and Jasper, were taking Rose's BMW. I was surprised to be led to Edward's Vanquish. I should have known, if I was dressed like I was, that the occasion was special enough for the Vanquish.
Ever the gentleman, Edward helped me into the car before appearing in his seat not even a full second later.
"When exactly are you going to tell me where we are going?" I really hated surprises, I had a good reason to.
"I'm shocked that you haven't figured it out yet?" He threw a mocking smile in my direction.
I had to remind myself to breath. "You know I don't like surprises."
He smiled but he refused to tell me where we were going. Oh well, I'd find out soon enough.
It didn't hit me until we pulled into the school parking lot. No, he wouldn't. Surely he would have known better.
"You're taking me to prom!" I turned to him in horror.
It was embarrassingly obvious now. If I'd been paying any attention at all, I'm sure I would have noticed the date on the posters that decorated the school buildings. But I had never dreamed he was thinking of subjecting me to this. Didn't he know me at all?
He wasn't expecting the force of my reaction, that was clear. He pressed his lips together and his eyes narrowed. "Don't be difficult."
I groaned. "Why are you doing this to me?"
He rolled his eyes and gestured to his tuxedo. "Honestly, Bella, what did you think we were doing?"
I had come up with a few different ideas but none of them had anything to do with me being dressed up like I was, while staying in Forks. "I don't know, some sort of dance but outside of Forks. Away from the people I know, and away from anyone who could torment me for being clumsy. I already know I'm going to fall, look at these shoes, they're a death trap."
I moved the leg closest to him so he would be able to see the shoe.
"Hmmm." He stared at my leg longer than was necessary. "Remind me to thank Alice for that tonight."
I shook my head, crossing my arms over my chest stubbornly. I had a bad feeling about tonight, it was not going to be a good night.
He got out of the car and came around to help me. He offered his hand but I refused to take it.
He sighed. "Bella I won't let anything hurt you. I won't let go of you once, I promise."
I thought about that for a moment. I knew he wouldn't let me hurt myself. I never would have freely gone to any school dances, let alone prom, but clearly Edward hadn't thought about that. I might have gone to dances, if my balance was better. But if Edward wouldn't let me hurt myself, he wouldn't let me embarrass myself either.
He most have seen the resolve on my face. "There now, it won't be so bad." He lifted me out of the car and carefully set me down. He waited for my awkward balance to stabilize before offering his arm and leading us towards the gym.
When we got inside, I giggled. There were actual balloon arches and twisted garlands of pastel crepe paper festooning the walls.
"This looks like a horror movie waiting to happen," I snickered.
Edward led us towards the ticket table, leaning down slightly to whisper in my ear. "There are more than enough vampires present."
"Aren't you forgetting someone?" I asked playfully.
He laughed gently. "I didn't think enough people here knew what a transitional was."
I let out an exaggerated sigh. "Oh well, at least I'm with the vampires."
We laughed together as he paid for the tickets.
When Edward started to head towards the dance floor, I started dragging my feet. My nerves backs with a force ten times as strong.
"I have all night, Bella," He warned.
Seeing everyone dancing brought me back to the fact I couldn't. "Edward, I really can't dance."
"Don't worry, silly," he whispered. "I can, it's all in the leading." He effortlessly started whirling us around the floor. Dancing a waltz that was totally unsuitable to the present time and music; and yet, I found myself loving it.
"Okay, this isn't half bad," I admitted.
But Edward was staring towards the doors, and his face was worried.
"What is it?" I wondered aloud. I followed his gaze, disoriented by the spinning, but finally I could see what was bothering him.
Jacob Black, not in a tux, but in a long-sleeved white shirt and tie, his hair smoothed back into his usual ponytail, was crossing the floor towards us.
Edward snarled very quietly, startling me. Before I could ask him what was wrong, Emmett and Jasper stepped up beside us. Rosalie and Alice beside them.
Jacob stepped up to our little group, nodding nervously in our direction.
"Why don't we go outside?" Alice said politely. Her nose scrunched up for a quick second before she controlled herself. It made me wonder what horse sized wolf shape shifters smelled like.
Jacob nodded, the seven of us made our way outside, as casually as we could. Once outside we headed to the parking lot where no one would be at that moment.
"What's going on Jacob?" I asked, unable to handle the tense silence any longer.
Jacob glanced at the five vampires before settling his eyes on me. "My dad paid me to come talk with you. He wanted me to deliver some kind of message."
Emmett crossed his arms over his chest. "Well, go on then."
Jacob sighed, taking a deep breath. "I don't understand any of this but, here it goes. My dad wants you to meet where it all began, somethings happened and he wants to make some changes." He shrugged. "Sorry that's all I know. It sounds crazy, but he said just in case you don't believe him, to tell you he didn't think Sam would have been able to crash your prom."
Edward nodded, no doubt getting any missing information from Jacob's thoughts. "When did your dad want to meet us?"
Jacob seemed to realize he had forgotten to tell us that. His already dark skin darkened slightly. "Sorry, he wants to meet in a week, he needs time to talk with the other elders of our tribe. He says to bring his friend and his family, come at twilight."
Edward glanced at his siblings, he nodded subtly, answering one or more of their thoughts.
"Well," Jacob glanced around, unsure of what he should do, or say, "I'm going to leave now." He nodded towards me before heading to a car on the other side of the parking lot.
I glanced up at Edward. I had known tonight wasn't going to be good, but I hadn't expected that.
Edward gently brushed my cheek with the back of his hand. "It's alright Bella, we don't have to worry about it till next week." He brushed his lips quickly against my forehead. "Come on, let's go back to the dance."
The six of us went back to gym. I didn't feel like dancing but Emmett insisted that I had to at least dance once with him. He spun me around the dance floor while a fast song played. I had a suspicious feeling that he might be trying to make me sick. I also had a feeling he was trying to distract me so Edward could tell them what he had gotten from Jacob's thoughts.
Edward had to have known me well enough to know I wouldn't try to focus solely on my hearing while in Emmett's arms. Emmett would figure out what I was doing and let go of me, at the worst time.
The song changed, and Jasper tapped Emmett's shoulder. "May I cut in?"
Emmett laughed and bowed before going to grab his dance with Alice.
Calm enveloped me, and I laughed. "Thanks Jasper."
He laughed with me. "You're welcome Bella. You know that you don't have to worry, just relax."
His words and his powers for that matter worked, I felt myself relax, and all the tension left.
The two of us danced around the floor until the song ended. Then we swapped dance partners again, the pairs back to normal.
We danced the night away, and I had to admit that I enjoyed every minute of it. The dancing was alright, it was the fact that I got to be in Edward's arms the whole time, that made the night perfect.
As the dance started to wind down, Edward expertly danced us out the back doors. Once we were alone, he pulled me into his arms and carried me over to bench that was hardly ever used.
"Thank you for coming tonight," He whispered, his lips brushing against my neck. "I had a wonderful time."
I sighed, enjoying just sitting on his lap. "I had a good time too."
He laughed softly. "So you would let Alice dress you up again?"
I leaned away from him so I could look at his face. He laughed out loud at my look of horror.
"Don't worry Bella, it won't be any time soon." His voice faded at the last word and he stilled. I got a feeling that someone had gotten his attention. I waited patiently for his attention to return to me.
He shook his head. "I guess not as long as I thought."
I rolled my eyes, figuring I knew who had sent her thoughts to him. "Oh well, let's just enjoy, right now."
"To right now." He lightly tapped his lips to mine. He pulled away when I needed to breathe.
My eyes narrowed when he pulled away. "Excuse me, but I was not done kissing you."
He laughed gently, and his lips trapped mine, making the evening better than what I had already considered a perfect night.
