Authors note: I'm really sad. Not even one person left a comment on my story. Maybe this second chapter will change your minds and lead you to reviewing this story!! Reviews for me are like giving me my fix. And I have a total of like⦠none so I'm not doing too well. I will be trying to write more soon but you're lucky I got at least this chapter in. I have so much to do for band and school it's not even funny. So I hope you like this chapter it's going to be a little short for the fact that it's just to give you some foreshadowing and a better understanding of Serena.
DISCLAIMER: SM owns all. That just made me even sadder. *Edward sits down next to me* ok that gives me the courage to write some. ;) Ha-ha. I only own Serena! Hope you enjoy.
Ch.2 shopping with Alice and Bella
"Truthfully Serena, she always gets what she wants." Bella whispered in my ear as we were heading to Alice's yellow Porsche 911 turbo. "I've just learned to just go along with it; she always tricks you into doing it." I giggled. It was really sad that a little pixie could control Bella and me. Alice wanted to go shopping and told me I had to. Not ask, TOLD me to go. At least I didn't have to suffer alone; Bella had been roped into doing it too. I was afraid of being around humans. Knowing that I hadn't been around them much but Alice had told me that she didn't seem worried. I still made her bring Jasper just in case.
It was Monday morning, about 9. All of the kids in town had gone to school. Most adults were either at work or at home in bed, so that helped my nerves a little. We were going to Seattle to shop; Alice said she had one of her favorite stores there. As we entered the store I was hit with a little bit of blood lust, instantly jasper had my hands behind me and holding me in place. I hadn't planned on moving but I was glad to have him there just in case my instincts take over. I closed my eyes and stopped breathing. I looked up finally to see Alice smiling at me. She told Jasper to let me go that I would be ok. He trusted his wife but he knew I was still close to a new born so I was very unpredictable.
Alice led me to the back of the store and pushed me into a dressing room. With a little bit of air I said, "What are you doing?" I was supposed to just tag along. Alice giggled and started handing me clothes.
"When you're with me you have to try on clothes. Just try them on and pick two of everything so I can see your taste in clothes." Alice said as she dashed away to grab more clothes. I tried on all of the clothes in lightning fast speed. I had picked out two graphic tees two pairs of jeans two pairs of shoes and 2 dresses like she told me. Most of it was either green blue or black, except for one silver dress that I absolutely fell in love with. I came out of the dressing room and showed Alice what I had picked out. She looked at me and looked at the clothes. I went to go put the clothes back when both Alice and Bella stopped me. "What are you doing?" they asked at the same time. They looked at me like I was crazy.
"I don't have the money to buy this you guys and I am not letting you buy me this." I said as I was putting the clothes on the clothing rack.
Jasper and Bella laughed when they heard Alice sigh. "You have much to learn young grasshopper." I started to laugh so hard hearing her say that. I walked away from the clothes to join them. Alice had already purchased 4 bags of clothes. Bella and I had begged Alice enough to let us go look at a book store just for a couple of minutes while she looked at lingerie.
"I really do hate when she makes me go into those kinds of stores." Bella laughed. We were looking through the fiction section, looking for nothing particularly. "Serena I know how you feel coming here with nothing and my family try to give you it all. It's very weird. I can tell you will make a big contribution to the family in the long run." Bella smiled at me. I gave her a small hug. I still wasn't going to let them but me stuff but I could tell she would be the one to understand.
Out of nowhere Jasper popped out from behind a bookshelf. "Alice said she is ready if you two are. She pulled the car around to a shady area; it's getting to be a little sunny." Bella and I were definitely ready to leave. Before I could move though, I was hit with a sense of bloodlust. Jasper held my hands behind my back and Bella blocked me from the front. Again I closed my eyes and stopped breathing. Bella was repeating to me that we were going home and that everything would be ok. She said home like I was meant to be there. That made me relax and the bloodlust simmered. We hurried out of the store and went straight for Alice's car.
As we were driving to their house Alice said, "See now it wasn't that bad now was it?"
I laughed a nervous laugh, "yeah, except for the fact I felt like going on a killing spree twice but thanks to you three I was able to stop. Thank you." I smiled at them.
Jasper then said, "Serena that was all you. I just held you long enough to let you make a decision of what to do. We couldn't have stopped you if we wanted. Once a new born has that scent, they normally can't stop. You were able to stop. Yes with a little help but it was all you." I was shocked. I had never seen it this way. I guess this is one step in the learning process; Making your own decision.
The rest of the way home we filled the car with idle chatter. The whole family was there when we got back. Jasper and Alice had gone upstairs to put away the clothes. She had bought something for everyone. Apparently it was a surprise too because she made jasper stand watch at the stairs and dared anyone to come upstairs.
I was thinking about how I had handled myself today when Edward had this shocked expression on his face. "You felt bloodlust today and were able to stop?" that got everyone's attention. I told them (the ones who didn't come today) about how I had to held back twice. Of course everyone agreed that what Jasper had told was correct. I still didn't believe it.
The next thing I knew Alice was sitting beside me with a purplish colored bag in her hand. "Ok guys I have a plan for today. First we are all going to go on a hunt and make sure we get our fill. Be back here by 9ish and get dressed with the surprises I got you because we are going to be holding a party." My eyes got really big when she said the word party. 1st off I hate parties and 2nd don't parties mean people? Alice saw the shock on my face. "Don't worry Serena. Once you are full of animal blood the thirst will be subsided. We have faith in you." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Not many people and there will be a couple of werewolves there to cover up a lot of smell." I gave a small sigh of relief.
I was ready to tackle anything head on. We all decided we would get into 2 groups. The first group was to make sure they had everything for the party and the 2nd group was there to help me. Carlisle, Esme, Bella, Edward, and Renesmee were there to help. I was really hoping that Alice was right because right now a party sounds like a great distraction from everything. I hoped for the best tonight.
A/N: so what do you think? Yes I know that's a lot of trust for a some-what newborn vampire but its Alice, she knows what she is talking about. Any questions just email me or ask me about them. I'm super duper tired now. I think since I wrote this for my readers I think you should definitely leave me a review!
*hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves THE IMPOSSIBLE*
