I watched as Elle walked out to her car. I couldn't help but notice Mike was telling Tyler Crowley about how something apparently shocked him today. It was probably just static electricity. Mike wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, so I didn't expect him to know about that kind of thing. I saw Elle drive off with a smile on her face as I walked over to my family. It was a long standing tradition that I rode with Naomi. Emmett once again stood on the back of the Jeep which I'm pretty sure in illegal everywhere.
"So did you make plans?" Naomi asked.
"You know you can easily find out if I did." I replied.
"I could but I would prefer hearing you say it." She said
"Fine the plan is for me to go and get something to eat so I don't have to leave early again." I explained.
"Come on you know I'm your favorite sister." Naomi pleaded. Sometimes it was hard to tell that we were the same age. "What are you gonna do?"
" If you must know I'm taking her to see Beastly." I relented. "She's actually incredibly fascinating. I'm not sure if she's ever seen a movie before. Her dad apparently did let her have any sort of a social life."
"So then why is she starting school now, in the middle of the second semester?" My sister asked as we pulled into the house. Okay so I wouldn't really call it a house. It was a little bit of a castle but a modern-day castle with actually windows and it didn't feel like a castle. I mean there aren't swimming pools or hot tubs in castles. I got out of the car and began to run. I didn't really want to make her wait that long. Sure it wasn't exactly a date but after yesterday, I owe her some courtesy. I found a moose and sunk my teeth into it.
After I was done eating, I returned home and took a shower. Emmett was in the hallway when I walked out of the bathroom wearing a towel.
"You getting ready for your date?" He asked.
"It's not a date, it's just a movie." I told him as I entered my room and closed my door.
"Then can I come? I'd love to meet your future mate." Emmett replied through my door. It's hard to ignore someone when you have super hearing.
"No you can't go." Rose replied. "This human probably isn't even her mate."
"Need I remind you that Emmett was human when you found him Rose?" I pointed out to my younger sister.
"He was also half dead." She responded as she proceeded to drag Emmett away. That actually was pretty much a recurring theme in the family. Carlisle had changed everyone but me and Jasper after they were all dying of various causes. Rosalie was raped, beaten, and left for dead, Naomi dying of Spanish Flu, Emmett mauled by a bear (he likes to get even), and Esme attempted suicide. As for Jasper, he was a Confederate soldier tricked by a beautiful Mexican vampire. I don't know who or why I was changed. I've been a vampire as long as I can remember and don't remember being anything else.
I then realized that I should probably put some clothes on. I still don't want to keep her waiting. As I began to look through my closet, I began to think about her and her idiosyncrasies. Why was she afraid of water? How did she know how to play the game of high school when her only experience was watching television? Where was she from?
Since I was such a genius and creating original yet stylish looks, I decided to combine a white blouse with a red dress. It was casual enough for a place like the movies yet good enough to get me noticed. As I was dressing, I had a vision of Elle was wearing a blue blouse and a gray knit miniskirt. She has the ability to look good without really trying.
I finished putting on my clothes on and skipped down the stairs to find Esme waiting for me.
"Have fun on your date." She told me.
"Ugh it's not a date, it's just a movie. Yes she probably is my mate since I've been having visions of her but I haven't actually seen us together." I confessed.
"Okay then…have fun at your movie." She corrected. "And be careful."
"That's why I made sure to eat beforehand so nothing happens again." I replied. "Oh I need to borrow your car."
"Why my car?" She questioned.
"Because you know Naomi gets really upset when people try to drive hers, I don't wanna drive Emmett's Jeep and Carlisle isn't here." I explained.
She gave me her keys from her purse. "I would appreciate it if you brought it back in one piece. I don't want to have to get the mirror replaced again." She reminded me.
"Come on that was a few years ago and that was Emmett's fault, not mine." I pointed out before giving her and a hug and taking the keys. I went out to Esme's car and drove it to the address that she had given me. I knew it was correct because it was definitely the house from my vision. Chief Swan was currently away, I noted from the lack of the squad car. I rang the doorbell and waited for her.
She answered the door wearing the outfit that I had seen. Her legs looked great in a skirt.
"Are you ready to go?" I asked.
"Yeah." She responded as she walked out the door.
"You might want to lock that." I instructed her. She went back and locked the door with a frown on her face. "So you look nice. You smell nice too."
I believe her shampoo was pomegranate scented. She wasn't wearing makeup but I'm not quite sure that she knows how.
"Thank you." She replied as she walked over to the Lexus. "So is this your car?"
"It's my mom's actually." I answered but I know how to drive it. I opened the door to let her in.
So apparently, Elle did not have a problem with me speeding. I would think that most humans would but it was nice to not have to worry about it. We arrived at the movie theatre in a short amount of time. I got a vision of us going inside, with the movie not being sold out. Yes sometimes I get pointless visions.
So I'm pretty sure that my assumption that Elle had never seen a movie was true because she looked confused by the trailers.
"This is one strange movie." She commented.
"Those are just the trailers. They're previews of other movies that aren't out yet." I explained.
"Why do they do that?" She asked.
"It's so they can get you to come back and pay for their movie." I told her. "Now you're really not supposed to talk during the movie because they say that disrupts other customers."
"But we're like the only ones here." She pointed out.
"Well that won't always be the case so it's a good idea to develop the habit." I replied. "Just watch and listen. Or at least whisper."
Whispering was something that she did often. Some of the things that she said included: "He's cute", "That girl looks like that Ke$ha", and "oh that's sweet." I had to admit the last one was accurate. I'm a sucker for romance, even when the movie isn't really that good. I've actually written a few romances novels and gotten them published under a secret alias. I noticed that Jessica Stanley was actually reading one of them the other day but said nothing.
Elle also seemed to love the romance aspect of the movie.
"So does stuff like that happen in real life?" She asked.
"No as far as I know witches aren't real." I answered.
"I mean more the hot guy falling for the ugly guy." She clarified.
"Well most people can find true love with anybody." I said. I remembered back to a time when Naomi told me that the guys at Forks wondered how Emmett could get a girl like Rosalie. "It doesn't really matter what they look like, just who they are underneath."
"I could really go for something cold and sweet right now." Elle remarked.
"Is that your way of telling me that you wanna get ice cream?" I asked.
"I never said ice cream yeah but I would like that." She replied. I walked with her to the ice cream that was just down the street. I ended up buying her a cone.
"Aren't you gonna get anything?" She asked as she licked her cone. You know I didn't have to see the future to see this question coming.
"I'm on a very strict diet." I lied. Well it was exactly a lie but I wouldn't call drinking only the blood of animals a diet. "It doesn't let me have ice cream."
"Oh that sucks because this is pretty good." She said opting to take a big bite. "We should do something else."
"What do you want to do?" I asked.
"How about we go over to your house and hang out for a while." She suggested.
"You why don't we go to your house instead." I countered "I mean your uncle already knows me a little bit and I don't think he would really have a problem with it."
"Fine we can go over to my house." She agreed. "I'm just gonna say right now that it's really not that exciting."
"You live there so that's good enough for me." I replied. Okay now that would have been really cheesy if we were on a date but since we were just friends at the moment, it was okay.
I drove to her house and we got out of the car. There was a squad car in the driveway meaning Chief Swan was home. She took her key and opened the door and I followed in close behind her.
"I'm home." She called.
So this is another chapter in Alice's POV. Ity shows us what life at the Cullen home is like. Also because Tyler was busy talking to Mike, he didn't have the opportunity to almost run over. Elle is absolutely adorable witrh not knowing what trailers are. Please don't forget to review.
