A/N: How many times do you think I can thank you before you get annoyed? Hmm . . . well, I don't care! Thank you! Thank you for wonderful comments and support! You are amazing! Thanks again! :D
Okay, so now we're getting into Breaking Dawn. I've tried my best to do the book justice (as in, not altering very many details), but there will be times where I need to slip some things in or slightly change one or two details on a minuscule level. Nothing huge, nothing too painful (I hope). Nothing about the story or plot of Breaking Dawn will change whatsoever, though, I promise!
"Can I do anything to help?" I asked, watching Alice putting up the hundreds of flowers she had ordered. She smiled at me when I spoke.
"Yeah, you can start on that side. See? Just like this," she showed me what she had already done. I watched for a moment, picked up a box of flowers, and walked to the other side of the room. I picked up a single flower and it fell apart in my hands. The second one followed suit.
"Alice?"
"Yes?"
"I think you bought faulty flowers," I told her, going through a third freesia. She giggled.
"No, you just have to be really gentle. You're still a newborn, so you don't really recognize your own strength yet. Just pretend they're soap bubbles," she instructed, returning to her work.
"Soap bubbles. Right," I muttered under my breath, even though I knew she could hear me. I bent down to pick up another flower and slid my hand underneath it as gently and softly as I could. It felt like air on my palm as I lifted the rest of the garland. I began pinning it to the wall, and I was done sooner than I realized.
"Bree! Would you like to come help outside?" I heard Esme call from outside. I glanced at Alice who nodded in her direction, telling me to go. I left the flowers and darted outside, hoping to be rid of them. . . of course, I was all too mistaken.
There must have been ten thousand more boxed flowers out here, too. I sighed and set to work, helping Esme as best as I could.
The sun was just starting to come up when we finished the flowers. My still heart sunk when I was informed that there were still twinkle lights that needed installing, along with a dance floor.
"But the boys will take care of that," Esme insisted, wrapping her arm around me and leading me inside. "You must be thirsty. Rosalie is going to take you hunting in a few minutes, just as a precaution." I nodded. That was smart.
:
"Are you just about ready?" Rosalie asked, knocking on my door. The Cullens had been kind enough to give me my very own bedroom, and Alice had even gone shopping for furniture that "fit my persona" the day after I was accepted into the family.
I opened the door and nodded at the gorgeous blonde before me. Usually, I would be completely jealous of her were I not equally beautiful. I followed her down the hall, down the stairs, and out the back door.
"Follow me, and try to stay as alert as you can," she instructed, and I nodded obediently. I was surprised at how kind Rosalie was to me. I had seen the way she had given Bella the cold shoulder and had expected the worst from her, but she was miraculously kindhearted toward me. I could already tell I was going to have fun as the youngest child of five (almost six).
I followed her deep into the forest, staying as attentive as I could. All of a sudden, she stopped, smelling the air.
"Tell me, Bree: in which direction did they go?" she asked me, giving a curious smile. A breeze came, as did the odd smell of animal blood from the west. I pointed.
"That way." She smiled and motioned for me to lead. I took off in that direction, even using my hands to propel me forward. I could hear water flowing, and soon we came upon a small stream, where two elk were drinking.
I went mad. I leapt forward and had them both down in less than three seconds; the smell was so strong. I glanced at Rosalie proudly before helping myself to the larger of the two.
A/N: Thanks again for reading! You rock for spending your valuable time to read this when you could probably be doing something else with it. Be sure to tune in within the next couple of days (or tomorrow??) for the next chapter.
*Confession* - I have about the first 20 or so chapters already done (holy cow), but I'm still going with this story (holy cow), but I don't want this story to end up with 235 chapters (because who wants to read that??). So I'm thinking about creating a new story (a sequel) to add on and keep going with this story. Not too pressing an issue now (since this is only the 6th chapter), but I want to make a decision early. Any thoughts? Help me! ~Munkin93
