Chapter 5

Sweet Revenge

The sun fluttered through my curtains and shone on my face waking me up a little bit too early, I than I hoped for. Stupid sun! Such a difference from last nights thunder storm. Talking about last nigh my head still feels sore from where I slipped and hit it on the only rock in a 3 mile radius! My brother Emmet thought it was hilarious and wont let me live that down for a long time. My other brother Jasper was more sympathetic but only because he literally feel my pain. Alice and Rose are used to my lack of balance, Edward tried to catch me but gravity wan. We always play sports when there's a storm and last night weren't no different, you see my family are vampire and when they hit a bat to a ball or even hit each other the sound is louder than thunder so when there's a storm its easier to camouflage it. I was adopted by them when I was 2, im 8 now and have loved every moment of bizarre family life, I can't even remember my birth parents and I don't ask. Esme and Carlisle are my mom and dad.

Today is Sunday June 20th, Edwards 97th birthday! And Alice being Alice would go all out and have presents and cake, which of course was just for me, and Edward would hate every minute of it. I loved Edwards birthday because hes the only one who hates attention as much as me and I could get revenge for all the over the top occasion celebrations in my honour hes been involved in! As I walked down the stairs to the living room Every surface was decorated in navy blue silk with banners and balloons neatly strung up! of course this wasn't all of it Alice was waiting for me to help go completely over the top.

"Morning sleeping beauty, Hows the head" Alice asked of course out of concern but it didnt help that Emmet was once again laughing uncontrolabliy from the kitchen.

"Erm, yeah its fine" Rubbing the lump that had made an appearance sometime in the night. "What you need me to do?" excited now. Oh sweet revenge, Edward, Jasper, Rose and Daddy had gone hunting due back at noonish so they would come home and get the full impact of the decorations! Alice knows my excitement on this day and takes advantage! She pulled out 2 huge boxes full of lights, ribbons, confetti and whatnot, really scary for someone like me who hates celebrations and has a sister who owns enough party items to make the festivals of brazil look like tea parties!

"Alice, promise me something" I said slightly nervous, looking at the party massacre that surrounds me.

"Yes" she was smiling at me, she can be very scarey sometimes.

"Promise me you won't use any of this -I picked up 10000 fairy lights- on me, ever for any occasion any time! in my life!"

"I promise I won't use any of those lights on you, ever for any occasion any time, in your life" Before i had chance to protest, she laughed smugly and dance to past me and up the already glitterimg spiral staircase. She's a very frightening kind of evil. I walked toward the kitchen where mom would be making my breakfast and putting finsihing touches to a undoubtly remarkable birthday cake.

"RAWR" Emmet jump out at me. Mom shot him a glare.

"ARGH, Emmet are you trying to kill me?" Emmet finds great amusement in anything human I do!

"That was'nt close to killing you" He arched his back and teeth and leaped at me and started growling. He had me a super tight grip and started to tickle me.

"Mom, mom get him -laugh- get -laugh- EMMET -laugh- off!!" With this my mom was pulling Emmets huge body off of me! unsuccessfully that's when Alice joined in and pulled me free.

"Thank you" I said to Alice and mom whilst straigtening myself out out.

Emmet did a stupid goofy grin and bolted out the door.

Edwards pov:

Dispute the day and Jaspers efforts to lighten my mood, I was feeling pretty low and old. Maybe its the old man in me but I just wanted to go home and have a quiet day, but with Alice as my sister and Bella as her accomplice I could give up any hope of the day passing by unoticed. Bellas sudden entheusasim came from being as she calls it 'betrayed' by me on her past birthdays. Her face on her first birthday as a Cullen was a picture I'l treasure till the end of my days. Alice truly scared for the rest of her life. My obvious distaste is very similar to hers so she tries to punish me with attension I just find it amusing, of course I don't tell her its my favourite part of the day being spoilt as revenge from Bella.

Todays hunting trip had been boring to say the least. We started heading back home around half 11ish and the thoughts of my family were annoying to say the least, all about the reception we were about to come home to. "how could Alice and Bella out do last year, very interesting to see. Poor Edward" Carlisle thought. True last year was extreme even in Alices terms so maybe this year won't be so bad."Alice insited on me going hunting, to stop me calming her down no doubt. Poor Edward" Jaspers thoughts didn't fill me with any confidence. We reached the front gates and I could already smell the confetti and glitter. "Good luck Edward"Rose though sarcastically. True we reached the front door which was draped in blue ribbons and coated in sparking fairy lights which stretched the whole length of the house. It didn't help that I could here everyone laughter in their minds, well execpt Bellas but I could hear her out loud instead.

Last year was nothing compared to the Disneyland perfection inside the walls of my house. Blue silk coated every surface and splashed with glitter sprinkles, balloons bounced wildly around the room, even more lights glowed around us and countless amount of banners covered walls. Next to my confetti coated piano was a table a table covered in neatly wrapped gifts and was housing a huge 2 tier birthday cake with a 97 shaped candle placed on top. My face was frozen in shock when the chorus of 'happy birthday' sang me out of my daze. First was my similarly shocked brother Jasper who congratulated me, followed by Alice who I politely thanked and whispered "dead pixie" in her ear, she giggled and danced to her husband, Next was Carlisle and Esme who respected my wished and just hugged me. Emmet bounded forward to punch me on the arm and laughed "Happy birthday old man", then Rose hugged me and chased after Emmet. Last but certainly not least Bella walked shyly forward to hug me tightly as she could although her head only reached my chest, she gave my an apologetic look and mouthed "im sorry". I just giggled and pulled her closer to me. Her scent as crushing as ever didn't deter me, I needed my Bella hugs.

Twilight quickly fell upon the house and the day was closing, As far as birthdays goes today wasn't actually that bad, the music was good, the presents were better and Bella hardly left my side. She fell asleep on my lap after demolishing most the cake, so I guess that was good. Bella talks in her sleep and now she started talking about "twinkling lights" and "please Alice no" much to everyones amusement! Alice skipped forward kiss her on her cheek and whispered "You'll see" giggled grabbed Jaspers hand and danced to the garden. I decided to take Bella to bed, shes had a long day and needed her rest, I lay her down on her bed and tucked her in, she was still mumbling to herself and then she said clearly "Edward". I smiled to myself and carried on with my sleepless night, waiting for my 8 year old friend to wake.
