"Hey Perce! Over here!" Bryan yelled from a couch in the mall food court.
"Hey love," Percy replied, kissing Bryan lightly as she sat down next to him. "Hey guys." She finished as she looked at the rest of her friends.
"Percy? What's up with your eyes?" Percy's best friend Dahlia asked curiously.
"I really have no idea. They were their normal color last night, but this morning they were like this. It's so weird." She answered.
"Well whatever, HAPPY BIRTHDAY PERCY!" Dahlia screamed along with the others sitting there. "Come on! Present time! But first, tell us what you got from your parents yesterday on the actual day."
"Well, I got this Coach purse, some new makeup, lots of money, and a SIDEKICK!" Percy practically screamed that brand of her new cell phone.
"Oh my god! That's amazing. Here, open mine first." Dahlia said handing her a box wrapped in hot pink paper.
"Awe! Thank you Dahl. It's great!" Percy said while admiring the two t-shirts from Delia's. After Percy opened about five different presents and thanked everyone for what they had given her, she finally got to open the presents she wanted to most.
"Your turn Bryan." Percy smiled over to her boyfriend.
"This is true. Here's the first one, for your birthday." Bryan smiled back handing her a large bag with a card sticking out. Percy took the card out first and read it silently to herself.
My dearest Percy,
These two presents are for two very important occasions. The first one, for your 15th birthday, which was yesterday, and the second for our one-year anniversary, which is today.
I love you with all my heart beautiful,
Bryan
Percy placed the card down next to her with a large smile on her face and reached into the bag. After digging through the layers to tissue paper, she pulled out a blanket that was obviously made by someone who had never used a sewing machine before.
"Bryan, did you make this yourself?" Percy asked.
"Yeah. Do you like it?" Bryan answered with a slight laugh.
"Yes! I love it! Next please," Percy said while reaching her hands out. Bryan reached behind his back and pulled out a small box with a small red bow on top. Percy took it carefully and untied the bow. She slowly opened the box and her jaw dropped. "Oh my god. Bryan it…it's beautiful." Percy's face couldn't of gotten any brighter as she pulled an engraved Tiffany necklace out of the box.
"Happy anniversary baby. I love you." Bryan said after kissing Percy lightly on her perfectly shaped lips.
"I love you too." Percy replied.
"Do you see her anywhere Alice?" Edward asked his sister.
"Yeah, calm down, she just walked into Abercrombie with her friends. Her eyes have changed colors already." Alice answered without even turning to look at him.
"Okay. You wait here. I'll go in the store and follow." Edward said walking briskly across the way and into the store.
"Oh my god. Perce, look at the hottie that just walked in." Dahlia whispered as Percy held up a pair of jeans to her body.
"Wow. Where'd did he come from? I've never seen him before and you think someone like him would be noticed." Percy whispered back after looking at the beautiful god-like boy that had just walked in.
"He's walking this way. Eep!" Dahlia was grinning with delight as Edward walked over to where they were standing.
"Shhh, down girl, he might hear you." Percy laughed has he walked by.
After walking through a few more stores and buying more clothes than imaginable, Percy ditched her friends to sit at Starbucks while they all went where they wanted to go. 'Oh my god, he's here too.' Percy thought to herself when she saw Edward walk into Starbucks. All of the sudden he was standing next to the table Percy was sitting at.
"I'm sorry, but you look really familiar. Have we met before?" Edward asked with a slight grin on his face.
"Uh, no. But I saw you in Abercrombie earlier. What's your name?" Percy asked.
"Edward, Edward Cullen. What's yours?" Edward asked, of course already knowing her name.
"Percy, Percy Livingston. Nice to meet you."
"Likewise. May I sit down?" Edward asked.
"Um, sure, I guess." Percy answered cautiously.
"I know why you're changing Persephone. Would you like answers? Oh and happy belated 15th brithday." Edward knew this would freak her out, for he could read her mind and knew she wanted answers.
"I…I never told you my full name or when my birthday was. Who are you? How do you know me?" Percy was starting to get freaked out now; she had no idea who this guy was.
"I've known you since you were born. You aren't the person you think you are. The people you live with aren't your real parents. You really are Persephone Cullen. You are a vampire.
"There's no such thing as vampires, you freak. Get away from me." Percy started to get up when she felt an ice-cold hand gripping to her elbow.
"Just sit down, and let me explain okay?" Edward's eyes pleaded and finally tricked Percy into staying where she was.
