It was fun writing it, it just came to me..haha.
Don't forget the polls, and please leave a review to the story, i love reading your questions, or how much you might love it, or even if it is crass and mean, i still like to hear about it. :) Bye.
Bella
Our forearms were criss-crossed together when we arrived into the crowded atmosphere that was the party, and also of which i still didn't know was even for, but then again, even humans has silly parties for no point of anything too. But i had a feeling there was a reason behind this one. I stupidly happened to have gotten clumsy, when i got distracted, and tripped, and almost fell, and also almost took Victoria down with me, right when out of nowhere, this dirty blonde-haired, yellow-eyed man had caught me, before i hit the floor.
He didn't blink, or take his bright eyes off of me, except for when he had to, when Victoria disturbed the moment we were sharing, with a annoyed-like cough. She reached for my hand, and sprang me back to eye-level. He brushed off his suit, even though there was no dust, until i looked closer, and did see some particles, but it still wasn't much. He seemed like a gentleman, but he was just another idiot, as soon as he spoke.
"Hello...ummm...-", Victoria helped him out.
Helped him out? Woah, she was changing.
"It's Bella, Brother."
"Bella, that's a unique name. I'm Riley." He was actually trying to flirt.
"It's not really, but thanks anyway." I huffed out. I was obviously still not used to this not-breathing thing.
"Bella, don't be rude. Now, go with Riley here, and have a quick dance, or something. This is all for you."
"What do you mean it's for me?", i questioned her.
"The purpose of the party, is your new life. It is a 'welcome to the family' type of get-together that i planned for you. Now go on, and enjoy the fruits of my labor."
Wow. Who would throw a party, at all, this size, there had to be at least 200 people here, well 200 vampires, and at least 30 humans, including one real close to me.
"Hmmm...this could be fun, you're right, Victoria, and thanks for throwing this."
"Oh, you're welcome, we all deserve one, but some aren't so lucky, unfortunately." She grimanced, with a type a frown, though it was more of a sad straight line, where her usual smile was. I wanted to go and hug her, or something, but i was pulled back, by another familiar voice. Riley's.
"Well...Bella, how about that dance?
"...Alright"
15 minutes later....
We danced for awhile, slow dances to even the waltz, i don't know how, but i was always on my feet, didn't have a trip, or fall, at all. Maybe he had the magic touch. He must have a gift, or something. I wish i did, but all i knew about vampires was they were stronger, smarter, or more clever, and wise, and also pretty speedy, they could super-fast. I wish i knew how, but i was hoping Victoria would teach me everything i needed to know, to live this life soon, i hope, and especially after i will have all the time in the world now, since i am immortal.
Riley and i slowed it down, we stopped right when the last song did, that was "Sex and Candy", i liked it, it was a equally slow and fast dancing too! We went over to a table to mingle, and when we almost got their, i got a 'whiff' of something floral, and sweet. I tried to find the aroma, with my eyes, following the scent with my nose, though. The scent was that of a young woman, like me, who was so short, but was practially screaming excitement, even from her petite, little body.
She had short black hair, and it was cropped in all different areas, in a spiky fashion. She was wearing a black high-necked sleeve-less mod-type dress. She had on a pair of black ankle boots, and also a pair of deep ruby earrings on. I internally wondered where she got rubies from for a second, until she looked my way.
I shyly looked away, and i tried to walk away, from both the group, and evading her too, but it was no use, she got to me, before i could exit the large ballroom. (A/N: Yes, it was a ballroom, like a grand staircase, but it is Victoria's 'house'.) She right up and hugged me out of nowhere, and the scent came back, and i was so thirsty..again, but i knew had to fight the urge to kill another person, at least not so soon, it's not even been a hour, i thought. Then again, she was right in front of me, with her hands gripping my shoulders, kinda shaking me out of thought-mode. Then i looked into her eyes, and she was not scared.
Did she not know what i was? What Victoria was?
Was she one of those rare types of humans, that was oblivious to the danger of Vampires, and who actually converse, and even work for them, as like henchmen?
It is a crazy world, and this girl probably didn't know what she has gotten herself into. I was thinking things off the charts, but something strange happened. I believe i heard a voice. I thought i heard a voice and-....
"Yes, you heard a voice. It was mine."
"What did you just say?"
"I said that voice, you know that one in your head a minute ago, was mine. And also, i am sorry. How silly it is not to 'formally' introduce myself, I'm Alice."
"...I'm ugh, Isa-..no, Bella Swan."
"That's a real unique name."
"Yeah, that's what Riley sai-"
I looked around, and remembering that i sauntered off, blindly forgetting that riley was at my side, though i remembered him at the table, he wasn't now...
"Oh, him. You should really stay away from him. And Victoria, even though she is your maker, and all. But she is not one to be challenged ever, but i see that you already learned that lesson today, didn't you?"
"Yes, i did, how did you know that?"
"Oh, i know all sorts of things, but we can talk about that some other time. I wanna get to know you more, but i am being called away, so if you ever want to know anything, or need to talk, or need help with anything especially, just call me." She handed me a card. It said, 'Cullen Clan' on it. Strange. The phone number was short, not 7 digits, like normal, it was 5 numbers, and they were displayed like this....

She gave me a kiss on the cheek, and waved goodbye. I saw her disappear into the numerous groups of people, and she stopped, ending up with a strange one. They were so classic-looking.
There were two couples, and 4 others. It looked as if they were a family, and a big one at that. I wanted to be a part of a family once again, but they looked pretty full, and probably would never want someone, or a 'newborn' like me. And they were odd, they didn't smell anything like blood, at least not human...
The italic is bella's private/personal thoughts, or words, like her dialouge. And again i know i said i would answer questions but if you have any questions at all, no matter how little or long, leave a review containing them. Leave a review anyway, if you don't mind. I love them, thanks alot if you do. And Bye, til next time. :)
