Chapter 21: Homecoming

"Why is Edward scared to let me watch him hunt?" I questioned Alice as her and Rosalie pulled and prodded at my face and hair. "Ouch!" I squealed as the curling iron touched my cheek.

"Liar, that didn't hurt." Alice laughed and Rose and I joined in. Of course, she was right. The curling iron didn't actually burn me, but, seeing the silver barrel touch my pale, flawless cheek made me flinch.

"Answer my question, Alice." I scolded. I sounded much more official, my voice more stern.

"He's afraid that he will lose control." She mumbled. There was something I was missing here. Alice and Rosalie looked at each other, silently communicating with their eyes.

"What's going on?" My panicked voice was getting louder. "What aren't you telling me? Alice, what did you see?"

"It's nothing Bella, relax. I swear. You just need to give him time." Rosalie soothed. She was surprisingly nice, being very gentile as she pulled my hair into a twist.

"Fine." I pouted. "Why are you getting me all dressed up anyway?" I wondered, looking as the red dress hanging on the back of the bathroom door.

Ever since I walked in the door Alice swooped me up and started playing makeover. I could only complain, not able so say that she was hurting me because, well, I no longer felt physical pain like a human would.

"We're going to surprise Edward. He already knows to come inside and get cleaned up, but he doesn't know what's coming after that."

"He hasn't read your thoughts? I'm sure you've seen it." I giggled.

"We've been keeping our minds occupied on shoes and clothes. He tunes it out pretty quick." Rosalie laughed. I laughed along awkwardly.

"So what is this surprise anyway?" I asked.

Rosalie was the one to answer. "We have a little 'dance' planned for tonight. A Vampire Prom, I suppose you could call it."

I couldn't suppress a loud groan, which caused Alice and Rosalie to laugh hysterically.
