Chapter 8: Christmas

Nessie's POV

After seeing my Jakey I went back to sleep. It seemed like only minutes later that I as being shaken awake violently.

"Nessie! Nessie! Wake up!" Ashley yelled into my sensitive half vampire hearing.

"Why?" I asked her.

"It's Christmas and Santa came! There is even a present for you!"

I smiled happily. I knew that it wasn't Santa. After I went back to sleep I woke up once to go to the bathroom. When I was walking back I saw Amber put some more presents under the tree. My momma and daddy had told me about Santa and how delivered presents to all the good kids in the world. It didn't make any sense to me how a fat man could fly around the world in one night to deliver presents. It didn't seem logical although I never told momma and daddy about my doubts. Last night only told me that my suspicions were true.

I didn't say anything to Ashley though. It made her happy and I loved seeing her happy. She ran to the tree and I followed her.

"Hey girls wait!" I heard Amber yell. "I want to get pictures of you two! Let me get my camera first!"

"Awww! I don't want to wait!" Ashley complained. She had her arms folded across her chest and she pouted. It was kind of funny. She only laughed when Bruno went and licked her.

Ashley opened her present as quickly as possible. It was a baby doll. She loved it. The smile on her face said it all. I opened my gift and saw a stuffed killer whale like the one that strange man had gotten me at SeaWorld. I loved it. I loved it. I loved them. It had only been two weeks since I met them and I already loved them and I was sure they at least cared about me.

After taking pictures of us, and Bruno who wanted to get in all of our pictures for some reason, Amber went to make us breakfast. Meanwhile we played with our new toys. Then I thought of momma and daddy again. I thought of grandma and grandpa. I thought of my whole family. I got sad because I really missed them and I wanted to see them again.

"Girls breakfast is ready!"

"Yayyy!" Ashley yelled. She ran to the kitchen with her new doll. Amber gave us pancakes cut into the shapes of Christmas trees.

"How did you make them into Christmas trees?" I asked her.

"My mom taught me" she said with a small sad smile on her face. "She used to make them like this for us every Christmas. It was a tradition"

"You miss her don't you?" She didn't have to answer. I knew she did. She had started to cry.

"You have no idea Nessie. I miss them so much. They'r my-ouch!" she shouted suddenly rubbing her stomach.

"Are you okay?" I asked her. I was worried.

"I'm okay. It's nothing. The baby probably just kicked extra hard"

Something didn't seem right to me. The baby kicked 'extra hard' a lot throughout the day. It also looked like it was getting more and more painful but she kept saying that she was fine. At lunch we ate leftovers that we still had from yesterday. Then we watched a movie.

At 6:00 we decided to go to Carl's Jr. for dinner. This was the first time that I ever had a cheeseburger and it was delicious. After we ate Ashley really wanted to play in the indoor play area with me. I had never gone down the slide before and it looked fun so I went with her. There were also a lot of other kids playing too.

I looked back and saw Amber holding her stomach. She looked like she was in pain again. When she saw me she stopped and gave me a smile. I just shrugged and started playing. I kept going on the slide because it was a lot of fun.

When I was about to go down the slide again for the millionth time I looked out and saw something that made my half vampire heart stop beating. I even rubbed my eyes to make sure that I wasn't dreaming. It was my family! Momma and daddy were at the front. They were looking inside the building as if they were looking for something.

"Momma" I whispered.

Then they all looked at me. Momma and daddy looked like they were going to cry. Especially my momma.

"Nessie go down the slide already" Ashley said impatiently.

"Stupid girls go down already!" An older boy behind us yelled. He pushed Ashley and I down in anger. He actually scared me.

Ashley fell on top of me when we went down. Then suddenly that same boy that pushed us started kicking and hitting us and hurting both of us.

"Stupid girls!" he yelled as he kept hurting us.

I was to scared to do anything.
