Chapter Four
"Alice, when is she going to wake up?" I heard Seth ask frantically in my unconscious state, "What if she doesn't wake up?"
I wanted to wake up and tell Seth I was alright but I couldn't. I couldn't move, my body wouldn't let me.
"I can't see," Alice said, "it's because you guys are here."
"Carlisle," Seth said worriedly, "are you sure she's alright?"
"Yes Seth," Carlisle responded, "her mind is just protecting itself, she will wake up when she's ready."
"Okay," Seth responded hesitantly.
I felt a throbbing on the back of my head. I remembered the wolves in the woods attacking the harmless couple who were sparkling in the sunlight. I felt a scream form on my lips as I bolted upwards.
Everyone in the room jumped out of their skins and rushed over to me as I babbled nonsense about the giant horse-sized wolves and the poor couple. I saw everyone exchange a careful glance as Seth pulled me into his arms and stroked my hair as I shook uncontrollably.
"Shhh," Seth whispered soothingly into my ear, "you're safe now, everything's alright."
"Yes," I repeated, "everything's alright."
He smiled and sighed with relief as I stopped shaking and calmed down. I pulled away from him slightly and he frowned. The temperature had increased greatly outside and he ran pretty warm... I looked down and noticed I was wearing a pale faded purple sundress with white lace on the bottom over a pale, faded indigo long-sleeve shirt with a pair of black transparent leggings with criss-crosses on them. Around my neck was a couple of bronze necklaces. I was wearing a pair of bronze flats as well.
I must've looked confused because Alice said, "I changed your clothes because your other clothes were all wet and dirty."
"Oh, thanks." I responded and then frowned worriedly, "What about the wolves in the woods?"
They all exchanged another guarded glance and then Jacob said slowly, "You hit your head pretty hard, Melanie."
"But I know what I saw!" I protested and Seth put his hand on my shoulder. I pushed his hand away and said, "I saw ten giant wolves in the woods attacking two sparkling people!"
They all looked uneasy and Sam said, "Melanie, we saw you hit your head. You were taking pictures and then you tripped and hit your head on a rock."
"But!" I started to protest again but Seth cut me off.
"You did hit your head hard," he said.
They didn't believe me. They thought I was crazy and delusional. They thought I just dreamed the whole thing but I know what I saw. And I saw giant wolves and sparkling people.
I stood up abruptly and wobbled slightly. Seth's hand shot out to steady me but I pulled away and said, "I need to use the bathroom."
I could feel their stares on my back as I walked away. I looked in the mirror and saw how pale I was. The face staring back at me looked frightened and crazy. I sighed and splashed my face with water. Maybe they were right, I just dreamed the whole thing. I mean, how else could you explain the size of the wolves and the sparkling people? I did have a crazy imagination.
I shut off the water and heard them silently arguing. "Seth, you should just tell her already!" Jacob said aggravated.
"But what if she runs away and doesn't want to speak to me again?" Seth protested, "You saw how she reacted today!"
"Austin," Jacob said, "what do you think?"
"I have no idea how she will react," Austin said truthfully. React to what?
I heard Seth groan as I opened the bathroom door and walked back to the living room. Everyone raised their eyebrows meaningfully at Seth but he shook his head.
I plopped down on the couch staring at nothing. How did Seth and the others know where I was? No one even knew I was going into the woods to take pictures. How on earth do wolves grow that big? Why was the couple sparkling? Why did the wolves attack them?
Now that I was thinking clearly I remembered what the couple looked like. They were both unbelievably beautiful with pale, pale white skin. And they had darkish bags under their eyes. They looked lean and strong. Now that I think of it they looked a lot like the Cullens. Except the eyes, the Cullens had golden-honey eyes that were sometimes black while that couple had blood red eyes. It was creepy.
Then I remembered back to English class in sixth grade. We were reading old Italian legends. That talked about something that looked like the Cullens... What was it? Ugh, I couldn't remember and all this thinking was making my brain hurt.
Just then Alice shrieked which made everyone's hands fly to their ears in pain. "Oh my god! The school dance is tomorrow night!"
"Whaat?" I asked and then remembered, "WHAT?"
"That's right," Bella said, "school was canceled both Thursday and Friday because of the hail storm."
"We are going shopping right now!" Alice said. Seth just stared at me like he was expecting something.
"Ehh," I whined, "do I have to? I don't want to go to the dance."
"Sorry honey but you have to go to the dance," Alice said as she strapped herself into some pumps. I shot her a quizzical look and she sighed saying, "Remember? You agreed to go with Eric?"
I stared at her. I remember no such thing. She must have seen my confusion because she then said, "When you left the house cause everyone needed to talk and you ran into Mike and then came to the Pizza Parlor."
It took me a few seconds but then I figured it out. I swear, you could have heard the click in my head and saw the light bulb go on. "Right..." I said remembering and then groaned.
"You're going with someone?" Seth asked looking almost hurt.
"Yeah, some dude from school asked me like the second or so day I moved here." I responded trying to remember who Eric was.
"He's the Chinese one," Edward responded smiling slightly.
"Right, gotcha." I responded as Alice grabbed, my hand, Bella's hand and Rosalie's hand and dragged us out of the house to her yellow Porsche.
Alice drove like a crazy woman to Port Angeles. Bella and I held onto our seats for dear life as Alice sped down the highway nearly reaching ninety miles per hour. Alice wasn't even looking where she was driving. She kept talking to us in the back and chatting animatedly about what type of dresses we should get.
Bella and I exchanged a look and we both screamed, "Keep your eyes on the road woman!"
Alice huffed at us but turned around in her seat to face the road. We made it to Port Angeles in ten minutes. Normally it would take at least twenty minutes to get there if you were driving fast... Yeah, Alice drives really fast.
When she parked Bella and I leapt out of the car. I leaned against a tree trying to get my heart rate back to normal while Bella leaned near a trashcan trying not to puke. Alice and Rosalie rolled their eyes at us and dragged us into the nearest dress store.
"What are we supposed to wear to this?" I asked Alice, "A long or short dress?"
"Short," Alice responded, "you wear a long one to the prom."
"Prom?" Bella and I said echoing Alice.
Alice rolled her eyes at us again. This had to be some sort of record for the number of eye rolled one could get within a matter of minutes. Bella and I basically just stood there like dolls as Alice and Rosalie dressed us up in uncountable combinations of shoes, dresses, jewelry, hair styles and etc...
Finally Alice picked out a white creamy colored dress for me. It was strapless and had a three tiered skirt and a heart shaped neckline. Pink gems rimmed the neckline and the bottom of each tier. With it she had paired pink diamond drop earrings, a silver choker necklace with a pink heart shaped diamond and a pair of satin pink heels.
"Alice," I said suspicion filling my voice, "are these real diamonds?"
Alice just shrugged as she paid for everything. I insisted on paying for my stuff but Alice glared at me and when that pixie girl was glaring, boy, was she scary. Anyways, I suspected that they were real diamonds and when I went to argue with Alice about it Bella stopped me saying that there was no way I would win. I groaned.
Bella had gotten a pretty violet colored dress that had an empire waist and was pair with a pair of black flat sandals. How come she got to wear flats? I glared at Alice and Bella. Alice told me to deal with it while Bella grinned. Bella also had jewelry to go with it that I suspected was real onyx gems or real black pearls. The Cullens were crazy rich. I still felt bad about letting them pay for my dress and stuff...
Anyways, Rosalie had picked out a flashy but stunning red dress and Alice had picked a beautiful, flowing blue dress. Alice did have good fashion sense and I trusted her with my wardrobe but some times she could go a little overboard... Well to be honest, more than a little...
We headed off to a cute little restaurant for dinner. Alice and Rosalie didn't eat anything saying that they had eaten while I was passed out. I shrugged. I was famished from all the shopping so I got cheese raviolis and a chef salad. Bella got the same thing as me. It was delicious.
I heard small pattering on the window and noticed it was raining out... Again... That was the only thing I didn't like about Forks, the rain and lack of sun. I needed sunlight to survive. Well I didn't need it but it was important if I wanted to be relaxed and happy. Maybe that's why I've been seeing things...
I made a mental note to check out colleges where it was sunny 24/7.
"Ready to go?" Alice asked after Bella and I insisted on paying for the check since they didn't eat anything and they bought our dresses.
Bella and I exchanged looks. I was ready to go home and get some good sleep but no way in hell was I ready to get back in that car with them. If I kept driving with them I was going to seriously lose my life some day.
