Update on reviews:
Thanks for your advice.
And to answer Kaylee1038, I know that Mall of America isn't near Alaska. Alice and Bella were hunting somewhere in Canada and Alice dragged Bella back to Minnesota to the mall before heading to Alaska. The family is moving there while Alice and Bella are gone.
And sorry about the first chapter being a little fast, I just wanted to get a lot of information in. I'm slowing down now. Promise.
"Lets go Bella." She practically screamed at me. This was going to be a really long day.
I sighed, as I looked up at the humongous mall, it really was going to be a long day. I trudged after Alice, who was skipping ahead of me. She was way too hyper sometimes it was almost sickening, but I loved her and she wasn't too bad most of the time. We got to the doors just as they were opening and the crowd that surrounded them pushed their way in. I laughed to myself as I watched a mother wrangle her five children, whom were running around in circles around her. I almost felt bad for her, but she has something I never will, children, and a family of her own. I loved my family, I did, but I'll never be able to have children. Though I think Emmett is enough of a kid to be everybody's child. I laughed to myself and Alice cocked her head at me. I just shook my head, telling her not to ask. She smiled, taking my hand and pulled me along behind her.
"First we have to go over here," she said, pulling me into the store. We spent about an hour in the store and walked out with about half the store. I don't see how she could do it. She just walked around grabbing things off the racks adding it to the pile in her arms. That little girl had almost every store employee following her around with arms full of clothes. Some of the clerks would ask her if she wanted them to put the clothes in a dressing room and she would just shake her heard, saying she knew they'd fit. I didn't even want to look as they rung up the clothes. I knew the price would outrageously high without even having to look, so I didn't. I just busied myself looking at some clothes. They were pretty cute clothes, but I knew Alice had the perfect clothes picked out for me. She always knew what she was doing. We shuffled out of the store and were forced to take our bags to the car. Then she told me we were far from done, and by the time we were done here, I would have a closet like hers. I shuddered involuntarily. I loved my sister and if I stopped her now it would just break her heart. So I would keep up the charades, just for her.
"BELLA!" She screamed at me impatiently "Lets go. We don't have all day!" She was making a B-line for the mall and going a little more than human pace. I laughed and ran, at a human pace, to catch up to her. She kept saying that if I was going to be a Cullen, I had to dress like a Cullen. This statement was quite scary coming from a little pixy looking girl. The thing was, she wasn't kidding, and that was what scared me the most about it. She pulled on my hand, grabbing my attention. We had entered the mall and she proceeded to pull me through the crowd of people. "We have to go to my favorite store, Bloomingdale's." was all she said. We stopped in front of one of the biggest stores I had seen in my life. I looked around, amazed. I had never really been to a decent-sized mall, so this was like major overload for me. The walls and floors were filled with racks of colorful clothing. Then, something caught my eye. There it was, the most beautifully simple dress I had ever seen. It was a deep green and flowed to the floor with grace. It cinched right below the bust line and flowed out. Alice saw me gawking at the dress and nodded. "Wow Bella," she paused, amazed "that dress would look absolutely amazing on you. Lets get it." She started to walk over to the dresses.
"But where am I going to wear it to Alice? I don't need that dress." I said, following her.
"Bella, Bella, Bella. Every girl needs a formal dress in her closet. Now don't argue, you won't win." She smiled, beaming. I shrugged, oh well, maybe she was right. Alice decided that she would get a dress for Rose and herself. Her dress was about knee length and it flowed from yellow to a pretty pink color. It would most definitely look amazing on her. Rose's dress had to be the prettiest though. It was empire waist and would flow to her feet. It was a crème color with blue and pink flowers on it.
After, Alice went around the store grabbing things she claimed I needed in my wardrobe. I followed in suit and actually picked out some really cute clothes too. I picked out this one outfit; it was a dark blue, v-neck tunic and some dark skinny jeans. She saw my choice and with a sniffle, said I was growing up so fast. Then, I decided I wanted to play a prank on Alice.
"Whatever you are planning on doing, don't." She called over her shoulder while she was looking at some painfully high, high heels. I hope she wasn't planning on getting those for me. I hate the fact she is psychic; there is no point in surprises with her. So I went along with my plans, contrary to Alice's warning. I decided that I was going to pay a sales clerk to tell Alice to leave the store immediately because they don't get stock until next week and she needs to save some of the clothes for everybody else. That poor sales clerk, I probably shouldn't have done it. But it was too irresistible not to. Alice went ballistic on the girl. Then I felt really bad. I had never seen her that angry before and I don't want to see it again. Alice stopped dead in her tracks and headed towards the cash register. She only had about three bags worth of clothes, including the three dresses. She then proceeded to yell something about losing a very important costumer as she stomped out of the store, dragging me behind he. When we passed the sales clerk I slipped her another hundred, hoping Alice wouldn't catch it. I'd tell her later, when there are not so many witnesses to my murder.
"Oh, the nerve of them!" Alice huffed when were out of the store. "How dare they!" This was becoming quite funny, but I had to hold my composer. I couldn't lose my cool, or she'd find out about my prank. "I will never shop there again. Ha. That's what they deserve. I was the one keeping their store alive! Oh well, their loss."
After that Alice dragged me in and out of store after store, that I actually felt tired. I had never walked so much in my life. It was nearly eight o'clock at night and Alice didn't look like she was stopping anytime soon. It really got bad when she decided that she wanted to drag me in and out of dressing rooms. What happened to knowing everything would fit? Alice just simply said that is more fun to make me model the clothes. I think; if ever saw a dressing room again, it would be too soon. She'd laugh as I groaned every time she made me try something on. Then, suddenly, after we stepped out of a store, she stopped with a wide grin on her face.
"Bella?" She asked wickedly.
"Yes…?" I was terrified now.
"Oh Bella! Don't look so terrified. I'm not going to bite." She paused, laughing at her joke. "We only have one more store to go to, and then we'll be done and we can leave."
"Finally", I sighed. "What store is it?"
"Oh you'll see." She said in a singsong voice. I just raised my eyebrows at her and she laughed. "Come on, let's go!" She chirped pulling me after her.
After today I wouldn't be surprised, if I were human, she would of pulled my arm out of socket several times. I was deep in thought when yet another pull on my arm forced my attention up. I saw the sign above the door and my eyes got wide. We were going into Victoria's Secrets. I had never gone in here before. Alice turned to see my face and laughed hysterically. I narrowed my eyes at her, which made her laugh even harder. I stopped and stood my ground
"Oh Bella!" Alice whined, pulling on my arm. "It's not going to be that bad. I promise, if you come in, I won't make you try anything on. Okay?" She pleaded with wide, puppy dog eyes. I hunched over and gave in. She jumped up and down, clapping her hands. "Thank you Bella!" She squealed at me, taking my hand and skipping into the store.
We looked around for a while. To be honest, if I were human, I would have been about as red as a tomato. There were some things that were just too much. But Alice managed not to make it worst like she said she wouldn't. There was some really cute stuff there too. But then I remembered, I had no one to wear these things for. I didn't know why Alice brought me in here in the first place. But apparently I needed cute bras and underwear for myself.
"Hey Bella, go pick out some underwear over there in the bins, get about 10 or so. I have some things I have to get while I'm here." She said with a wink. I laughed nervously. I did not want to know about my siblings' private affairs. I made my way over to the underwear bins and started picking through them. There were some really cute ones in there. I settled on two pairs of sporty hipster shorts, one was lime green and the other had the PINK logo on it. Then I saw these turquoise lace boy shorts that were too cute. I also picked out three pairs of hip-huggers in different colors. I went conservative and got two blue and yellow no-shows panties. Then, I did something I never thought I would. I picked out three really cute lace thongs. When Alice came back she saw my choices and approved. Then she pulled out something for me. It was a bra and boy short set and it was really cute. It was zebra print with red silk lining.
"Hey, I got some pajamas for you too," she paused, noticing my confusion. She leaned in to explain, "They aren't to sleep in, just something for lounging around the house in. I got some really cute boxer shorts and tank tops and a couple sleepers. You know. But I bought them already, because we really should be going. Oh! I got some really hot bathing suits and bras for you too. But you will have to wait to see those when we get home though. Here, lets go ring these up so we can go. Carlisle called and it sounded urgent, I don't know what it could be, he won't tell me and I didn't see anything." She rushed over to the register to pay for the underwear and hurried out of the stores. I wonder what could be wrong. Was some one hurt? No, vampires can't get hurt.
We made it back to the car and successfully shoved all the bags in the car with little room left. I decided not to tell Alice of my little prank, I knew it wasn't a good time. The ride home was very quiet. It was almost weary, if not for when ever I looked over Alice, she had this huge grin on her face. It looked more like a fake smile though, like she was trying not to worry me. She knew about as much as I did, I was sure, because she looked really uneasy. The silence was broke with a loud sigh from Alice.
"I'm sorry it's so quiet Bella." She said quietly, looking at me.
"It's okay Alice, really."
"It's just," she paused, looking back out the window, a distant look on her face. "It is just really weird not knowing what is going on. I must be having a vision problem. I don't know what is wrong with me. The only thing it could be is…" Her eyes got wide. "No…" she whispered the last part.
"What is it Alice?"
"Nothing. It's nothing Bella." She shook her head and kept driving. After that, I noticed the car speed up. She was hurrying, she knew something and I don't think I really wanted to know, the way she was keeping it quiet.
With going at about twice the speed limit, we arrived at this huge mansion. I assumed that this was our house. I saw Carlisle's Mercedes, Rose's BMW convertible, and Emmett's Jeep. Then, I saw a car that I had never seen before. I wonder whose car it is. When I looked over at Alice her eyes were wide. She didn't say anything as she climbed out of the car and walked slowly to the front door. I was worried about her, I had never seen her so, so quiet. I followed, as she opened the door. We entered the living room and there were seven pairs of eyes on us, five I recognized and two that I did not.
A gasp escaped Alice's lips. "No…" was all she could say before she turned and ran out the door.
Dun. Dun. Dun. Who could it be? You guys probably already figured it out. Hahaha. It's obvious. I know. I am SO, SO, SO, sorry for such a late update. Things have just come up lately. I hope this chapter was a little slower. Leave me more reviews and I'll try to get the next chapter up.
