Read on!

BPOV

I woke to the morning sun caressing my face through my wall window. I groggily opened and pulled my long mahogany hair out of my eyes and sat up on my queen sized blue/silver-ish bed, and stretched my arms while yawning. Today was September 13, my sixteenth birthday. It Friday, but I was home schooled by my family…or should say, vampire family.

The three of them had taken me in when I was only a few months old. They told me when I had turned 12 what they were and that they had been hunting at the time, and they had found me in the woods beside my mother and father who had been mauled by a bear. At first I hadn't believed them, but then they had "showed" me what the could do, and told me what I had to know. After a few days of thinking it through, I had agreed to stay with them.

After all, they had been taking care of me my whole life, plus they were the nicest thing I had ever met. There was Esme, my other figure. She had wavy light brown hair, and a nice heart shaped face, along with a great figure. She was so nice and warm to everyone that you swore she was your real mother and that you had been separated at birth from her. But she could be just as protective and mean when it came to someone threatening our family.

Then there was my sister, Rosalie, who at first hadn't really been the most thrilled of having me in her family, but soon enough she came around, and now we were best friends, if not close sisters. She had long majestic blond hair, a slim but well proportioned figure, and she could make any boy or man do whatever she wanted at the snap of her well manicured fingers. Although she may seem like your average sassy and stuck up shopaholic, she actually was very sweet and caring, as well had a passion for vehicles…

I couldn't say the same for Alice.

My little evil pixie of a sister always was up to something from playing Bella Barbie makeover doll, to long hours of shopping, to the most annoying one, hooking me up with guys she thought were my type.

Oh yes, guys who groped me and tried to take advantage of me really were a turn on…not.

But apart from her annoying scheming, she was my bestest friend. She had always been there for me, and I couldn't ask for anyone else. She also had these strange future visions, that helped out a lot when they consisted of me falling down an escalator or out of a 50 story window building…nice. My lack of balance was really irritating, especially when it came to those blind dates Alice always set up for me, and then forced me to wear high heels. I had always wondered how someone so small could be that scary when she was insistent.

Well, threatening to burn my beloved books kinda didn't give me a choice.

I sighed quietly. Then there was plain old me. Although there skin was paler than mine, I could tell mine was unnaturally pale, I had a slim and simple figure, long brown curly mahogany hair, brown eyes and death trapped feet. I swear, one of these days, I was gonna die just walking and then tripping over air. Nice, right?

Just then, Esme, Rosalie and Alice busted through my door with a huge chocolate cake with sixteen candles.

"Surprise!" They yelled in unison. I smiled gratefully and gave them each a big warm hug. Before I blew out the candles, Alice stopped me.

"Make sure to make a wish. Sixteenth birthday wishes are always suppose to come true." She told me seriously, and then motioned for me to continue. I stopped for a moment, thinking about what I wanted.

They told me they would change me when I turned 18 after hours and days of arguing, so that was out. I couldn't wish for any items, since I always had what I wanted and more, even after objecting a few times. Then something hit me.

I wish…that the most wonderful thing would happen to all of us this year. That we could all find the thing we wanted the most.

And with that, I blew out my candles in one shot, while the applause broke out. I thanked them once again and smiled gratefully at each one. I didn't know what I had done to deserve them, but I was sure as hell glad I had them.

Without warning, Alice picked me up and threw me over her shoulder, and dashed out of the room ignoring my screaming protests. Once she was wherever she wanted to go, she set me down on the kitchen stool while Esme put the cake in front of me, along with three presents next to it. Before I could protest against the present, which I had made it clear I hadn't wanted any, Alice covered my mouth.

"No arguing. I know you didn't want any, but for us, suck it up and just opened them." Rosalie told me, but smiled at the end, taking the brutal ness out of her words. Alice removed her hand from my mouth, and I sighed.

"Fine. But that doesn't mean I'll enjoy them." I told them sternly. They all smirked at me, and encourage I start opening the 3 packages. I took the one closest to me, which was the one in red, and read the little card.

From Rosalie.

Better enjoy it, or else!: P

I smiled at her, and then started to take off the rich red paper. What was inside made me smile widely. It was the book series I had been looking at, the House of night series (A/N: yo, if you liked the twilight series, you should definitely check this one out.). How did they know I had wanted it? I shook my head, smiling, and gave Rosalie a big hug. She whispered in my ear before I pulled away: "About time you enjoy a gift." I chuckled and went to the next one, which was a flashy yellow with a bright pink bow.

I didn't need to read the card to know it was from Alice.

I carefully opened the wrapped box, and sighed quietly when I caught site of an expensive label. Typical evil fashion pixie. I forced a smile on my face when I looked back at her. She had bought me a large case of makeup with a note saying:

Wear it, or else I will burn every book you own.

Yikes. And she never went back on her word. They were all nice sets, but I didn't see the importance in them.

"Thanks Ali. But I'm only wearing this on occasions. Not every day, got it?" I eyed her menacingly, but it only made her laugh.

"That's not all. Look under the case." She had a mischievous glint in her eye when she said this, so I could tell it was something that would either make me blush, or have me running for the hills.

That I should know by now.

I slowly lifted the box and peeked under, but as soon as I caught site of the gift certificate, I quickly put the case down and looked away while blushing ten shades redder.

"No arguing. Your going to buy yourself some of those sets whether you like it or not."

"Aww common! Why the hell do I need lingerie?" I seriously didn't see the point of going to Victoria's secret to buy things I was never going to use. I wasn't planning on showing anything to any guy any time soon. Why Alice, Why!?

"Because you need to step out of your shell soon. You haven't even kissed a guy yet!"

"Okay, okay! Fine. But I'm not buying anything over the top. Got it?" I glared angrily at her while she was obviously enjoying every second of this. She nodded slightly rolling her eyes. I sighed loudly, and took the last present and tore the paper off. What I saw made me catch my breath.

It was a beautiful black rose with diamonds studded on the rimes of each petal, hung on a sliver chain. It was obviously expensive, but I could find any will to complain. It was too beautiful. Esme walked around the island to me, and hugged while smiling smugly. She took the necklace out of my hands and clasped it around my neck. I marveled at it while the started to cut my cake and place it on a plate. I let go of my necklace for a minute, and started to eat it like I hadn't eaten in weeks…boy, it was the best cake ever!

As soon as I was done, I caught them staring at me and holding back there laughter at the same time. I blushed furiously and started to clean up, but Esme quickly took over.

"No way. It's your birthday, and you're going to enjoy it, and not clean anything for the day. That's my job." I sighed and hugged her before I took my presents and headed upstairs to change. But before I reached my room, Alice called up to me:

"Make sure to wear something comfortable, cause were going to be at the mall all day. And by comfortable, I mean that outfit I bought you last week." I groaned loudly, and she chuckled. That outfit was no where near comfortable!

I walked in my room, closing the door a tad too hard behind me, and set my gifts on my bed. I walked over regretfully to my closet and rummaged through it until I found what Alice had bought me. I groaned once again when I saw it.

She had bought me a blue, diamond studded tank top, a pair of dark colored skinny jeans and a tight fitted leather jacket…oh yes, very comfortable, I thought sarcastically. I put it all on, forcefully, and went to straighten my hair, by Alice's rules, and applied a tad of lip gloss, nude color, to my lips.

I went to my mirror and examined my work. Good enough. I was about to put on my converse, but then Alice barged in my room and threw a pair of silver high heels on my bed. Aw, crap. Just walking in my converse's for hours hurt! Now, heels!?

But before I could complain, she was out of the room. I grimaced and put them on, knowing I couldn't win against her. Like I said, evil little pixie.

As I came down the stairs, they were all there to appraise me, and probably make sure I didn't fall, but I made it down the dreadful stairs in one piece…that was a miracle.

"Ready to go?" Rosalie asked me excitedly. I nodded slightly, forcing a smile on my face. We took Alice's yellow 911 turbo Porsche, and drove at their usual over-the-limit-by-a-hundred-miles speed, and we arrived at the mall within minutes.

* * *

I dropped myself onto my bed, exhausted beyond belief, and took off the death traps. While we were shopping I had tripped at least ten times, all of them ending with me on my face, and once into a cloths rack.

God I hated shopping!

I managed to convince Alice to allow me at least to buy a few hoodies and loose fitting jeans, but it came with a price. I had 2 bags of cloths I had picked out, while their was 10 more bags full of disturbing lingerie. I had to admit the dark blue lace set was pretty cute, but the rest made me gag of embarrassment.

I was just about to fall asleep, but then they all came through my door. I sat up, rubbing my eyes tiredly while they sat beside me on my bed.

"Bella, listen…As you know, we've been here for fifteen years…which is over our limit. And…well, we've been talking about moving to a small town in Washington, and we wanted to check if you were okay with this." Esme started while taking my hand.

I looked at her dumbfounded. Why were they asking if I was okay with it? It's not like I had any friends here or other things holding me back. They were the only thing that mattered to me. If they wanted to move, then I was definitely up for it if it meant keeping up there cover.

"Of course I'm okay with this. Why wouldn't I be? If you guys want to leave, I'm all in." I told them, making sure I sounded convincing. They all let out a big breath of air in relief and smiled gratefully at me. I smiled back then yawned involuntary.

"We should let you get some sleep. We leave first thing in the morning. When you wake up, everything will be gone, so don't worry that we got robbed or something ok? The movers are just going to bring our stuff to our new house in that town…I believe it's called, Forks? Anyways, good night." They each gave me a goodnight hug and left my room.

I dressed in my pajamas and climbed under the covers, snuggling onto my side. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I went out quicker than a light.

I was running through woods at night, from something or someone, I didn't know.

I kept hearing my name getting called, but I just kept running. All of a sudden, a shape in the distance came into view, and I could tell it was a person…or so I thought.

Next thing I knew, the person was in front of me, and I could tell it was a vampire from his crimson glowing eyes.

"No! Don't you dare touch her!" a velvety voice said from behind me. I was about to turn around, but whoever was in front of me had other plans.

He placed his hand on my neck. And next thing I knew, everything went black.

I woke up sweating out of fright, and I was panting hard. Why was I this affected by the dream? I had had horrible dreams before, but I never had this kind of reaction…

What the hell?

I bent over my night table and opened my night stand lamp. There was no way I could go back to sleep, so I took out the first book of my new series, Marked, and read until my eyes started to droop involuntary.

I placed the book back on my night table and closed my light, but I didn't fall back asleep.

Instead, I thought about the strange dream. Where had that come from? Who was the one trying to stop the vampire who was about to kill me?

…And why did I feel so drawn to him?

I shook my head, irritated.

It was only a dream…so quit worrying about it! I chastised myself mentally.

Even if I tried to convince myself otherwise, I knew deep down it wasn't just a dream.

It was some sort of warning.

Before I could think about it anymore, I fell asleep.

XD If you have read my other story, you probably know by now that I'm a cliffhanging person. LOL, anyways, tell me if it's good, or not. If not, I'll take it down. I'm just testing this other idea I've been having. anyway, REVIEW!:D
