Hey guys I'm sorry it took so long to update:( here is chapter two! please review it and tell me what you think! thanx ~ Nessie-Bella-Edward
I knew that there was no point trying to persuade my dad into letting me go, so I started listening to the sounds around me to fill in the time. As I listened carefully I noticed that since this was a park, I could hear that nobody except for me, my dad and my mom were here. I only heard my parents' footstep pressing on the grass and pinning it to the ground. I knew that other than that it was really quiet, besides the grasshoppers buzzing and a slightly cold breeze that was refreshing on my face and hands. A faint ringing sound ran through my ears as I tried to listen more intently. A gush of wind hit us as we (my parents) were walking and that ringing sound happened to be the wind howling. I now noticed that we were going through the trees as the leaves and branches started to brush me against my body. Suddenly I heard the howling of the wind again. This time it was getting a little louder. I now realized that it was not the wind but a wolf pack howling. It must have been Sam's pack. Sam, Paul and Jared. Ever since before I was born, Sam and Jacob have had their own packs. Jacob didn't think about it that way. He thought of it as more of a defense group that had protected my family from Sam's pack and the Volturi attacking us. After I was born they became a group of friends and not a pack. Sam didn't really like that idea and since then his anger hasn't died down yet. I realized that my dad was starting to go a little faster as the brushing of the leaves and branches became swifter.
"Were here Nessie"
His voice suddenly stopped my thought and I forgot about the anxiety. I would find out at last! What all that secrecy was for! Why my family acted so strange! I was going to find out and now I was getting impatient!
"Quickly put me down dad! I want to see what's going on!" I said in an excited and thrilled voice.
My dad let me down gently and undid my blind fold. As soon as my dad slipped the fold from my eyes and I could see again, I looked around to see where I was. I was shocked and really surprised by what I saw. There was a circle of trees with sparkles like stars stuck to them, surrounding us. If it weren't for the lights, it would have been as good as trying to see with your eyes closed! In the middle was a beautiful glass house with a pathway from where I stood to the front porch. On the sides of the pathway, there were pink and white flower candles. The amazing thing about it was that the flames of the white flower candles were all pink, and the pink flower candles, white. They were so beautiful. Me and my parents walked up to the porch. I looked at the railings which were covered in pink and white flower garlands. They looked amazing. There were three steps in front of the porch and there were the same pink and white flower candles on the sides. The order went from white to pink and then white again. Since the house was made of glass, I tried to get a peak of what was going on inside. To my surprise, it was the type of glass where you could only see from the inside and see your reflection from the outside. Aunt Alice was super clever. I felt a little worried and anxious as to what waited inside for me. I slowly placed my hand on the doorknob and turned it. The door opened to a room full of darkness.
"It's so dark!"
I whispered to myself. My parents and I went inside and suddenly the lights went on and all of my family shouted in unison.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY NESSIE!!"
Mixed emotions shot through me and I was speechless. My body started to warm up and I could feel the tears coming out from the corners of my eyes. I felt so happy that I forgot about why I was angry in the first place. I also forgot that today was my birthday. I ran straight up to Aunt Alice and hugged her around the waist.
"I love you so much Aunt Alice. Thank you so much!"
"Glad you like it nessie."
The rest of my family came to wish me. First were Uncle Emmett and Aunt Rosalie. Uncle Em picked me up off the floor and gave me a really tight hug and wished me happy birthday. Aunt Rose hugged me gently and kissed me on my forehead. She whispered I love you in my ear.
"Love you too." I whispered back."
Next were my parents. They both hugged me and kissed me on my forehead. Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper. Aunt Alice kissed me on my cheeks and Uncle Jazz gave me a gentle hug. Grandpa Carlisle hugged me and Grandma Esme kissed me on my fore head. Last but not least, Grandpa Charlie gave me a very soft and gentle hug as he kissed me on my forehead. After everyone had greeted me, I started to notice the wonderfully beautiful decorations Aunt Alice had put up. There were lovely paper lanterns that were orange and yellow as the lighting for the roof. There was one beautiful and big banner at the top of the doorway that said "Happy Birthday". There were more flower candles on the dining table and around the furniture. This time the candles were orange and yellow. The orange candles had a yellow flame and the yellow ones had orange flames. The candles were amazing. I have to ask Aunt Alice how she did that! There were a few balloons here and there. There were amazing bonsai trees in orange and red colors near the furniture and the windows. The decorations were amazing. As I was looking at the decorations, a pair of warm lips pressed gently against the side of my neck and whispered.
"Happy birthday Nessie"
I turned around and saw that Jacobs face was so close to mine that I almost jumped. He wrapped his arms around my waist and wished me again loud enough for everyone to hear. He took me into the dining room. It was beautiful. I looked around the room and then to the small red bonsai tree on the window. From the corner of my eye I saw something move. I thought I saw the trees with the sparkles on them move. I swear I saw them move! While I was distracted, Aunt Alice put a five layered cake on the dining table. I started paying attention again. Before I could ask her what the cake was for, the doorbell rang. My mom went to get it. In through the door came at least sixteen to eighteen teenagers who were Jacobs friends. I recognized some of them. The ones I knew were Seth, Leah, Quill and Embry. I knew them because they often came to visit me and they hanged around us a lot. The others, I had no idea what their names were. They all came into the dining room and wished me happy birthday. Some of the girls came and gave me hugs and kisses and some of the boys gave me hugs and handshakes.
"That's a lot of dogs for one house to hold. There should be a limitation."
Aunt Rosalie whispered to herself.
"Be nice Rose, its Nessie's birthday." Grandma Esme said with a stern voice.
As soon as everyone was gathered and settled around the dining table, I saw Aunt Alice get a five layered birthday cake, I gasped with disbelief! It was fit more for a wedding than for a birthday. Before I could complain, they all sang the happy birthday song. After the voices went down an octave, Aunt Alice gave me a knife, signaling me to cut the cake. Since none of my family can eat human food, I cut the cake and gave the first bite to Jacob. He then gave me a piece in return. I swallowed it for two reasons. One, because it would be rude to turn down someone like that. Especially when it's Jacob. Two, because it was Jacob I couldn't refuse. However, it wasn't that bad. Aunt Alice knew how to set everything so perfectly because in thirty minutes, the cake was almost vanished. Most of Jacobs' werewolf friends had big appetite, so nothing was wasted. After the party died down a bit, Jacob twisted his fingers into mine as he led me outside. It was nice. The outside was very Serene. A slight wind brushed up against our faces. I was glad the wind refreshed me. Jacob slowly put his hand around my waist and whispered into my ear.
"You look so gorgeous tonight."
His breath tickled my ear and the sides if my neck. I hugged him back and whispered.
"I love you Jacob. I'm so glad you came tonight."
"Are you kidding? I wouldn't miss your birthday for the world!"
I felt the right side of his body go a bit rigid as he dug his hand into his left pocket. He then closed his hand and put it behind his back.
"Nessie, do you still have the bracelet I gave you when you were just a few days old?"
"Yeah, it's always with me, I never take it off. Why?"
"Well, I know it's not much but I made this for you. Happy Birthday nessie."
He pulled his left hand in front of me and opened his fist. In the middle of his palm was a small, wooden heart shaped charm with the initial "R.J" for the bracelet he made me. I was so happy right now, that small tears started to escape from my eyes.
"Thank you so much Jacob. It's the best gift anyone has ever given me! I love you so much Jacob."
I hugged him tightly as he slowly loosened my hands around his neck. He pulled me closer as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I slowly moved my hands up to his chest as his warm, gentle lips started moving with mine. I thought that no moment would be any sweeter than this. I gently broke away from the kiss and lay my head against his chest. He tightened his arms around my waist and whispered in my ear.
"I love you Nessie"
"I love you too Jacob. I want to stay like this with you forever"
As I was enjoying my sweet moment, a familiar voice interrupted it.
"Nessie you need to come inside right now!" it was Aunt Alice
What is so important that they needed me for? And now!
"We want you to open your present's sweetie, that's what for."
I didn't need to know whose voice that was when I had a mind reading dad around!
"Alright I'm coming!"
Jacob let me go and gently put one hand around my waist as we went into the house. We went into the living room and saw five presents on the glass table that was in the middle of the room.
Aunt Alice was jumping up and with excitement. I really thought that she might explode with happiness. She had a thin rectangular purple box with a dark purple ribbon on it. She gave it to me and waited anxiously to see the surprise on my face. I opened the box carefully. There was a lot of white sheeting. I removed it to see what was inside. There was a beautiful cream colored dress with matching laces and a head band. On top of the clothes there was a black and white card that had my name and initials printed on it. On top of that, there was numbers that were etched into the card.
"Thanks Aunt Alice, I like it very much."
"Open ours next, we hope you like it." Uncle Emmett and Aunt Rosalie gave me smaller box than Aunt Alice's. It was a red box with a white ribbon on it. I opened it and to my surprise, it was a GPS navigation system. The only reason I was surprised was for why I needed one? Besides, I dint even have a car! I wasn't going to be rude so I thanked them.
"Thanks aunt rose and uncle Em…It was…really thoughtful of you."
My mum and dad came next. They had the smallest box of the five. It was a blue box with a purple ribbon.
"It was all your dads' idea. I told him not to but…hope you like it anyway"
I opened it and again, to my surprise, there was a pair of car keys in it. I was so thrilled. I had my on car now and I have a use for the navigation system.
"Thanks mom, thanks dad, I really love it. Thank you so much."
"its back at home. I'll show you when we get back." I'm pretty sure my dad must have put it in our garage when me and Jacob were outside. After them it was my grandparents Esme, Carlisle and Charlie. They had all gotten a present for me together. The box they gave me was exactly the same one as my parents had given me. I wondered if it was another car. I opened it and it was a beautiful golden heart shaped locket. The one that you get to open and keep photos in it. It had matching golden earrings too.
"It's beautiful! Thank you so much! I love it."
Last but not least. There was the present Jacob and his friends from La Push bought me. It was a birthday card and it read:
"To dear Renesmee,
Happy 16th Birthday! We hope you have an enjoyable birthday!
P.S when you come and visit La Push tomorrow, we'll show you your present!
With lots of love,
The La Push gang."
"Thank you so much you guys, I love it." Once the present commotion was over, we all went outside, where Aunt Alice had set up the back yard as a dance floor. Everyone had partners and danced to the music that was playing! Me and Jacob were in the middle of the dance floor surrounded by our dancing family and friends. Jacob wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer as we swayed to the light music. I put my hand on his chest and lay my head on his shoulder.
"What have you got planned for me tomorrow Jake?"
"It's a surprise! You'll just have to wait and see!"
"Aww! C'mon Jake, just a little hint? Please!"
Just as Jacob was about to answer, I noticed that some of the lighting around the trees was missing. That was strange. I made me and Jacob slowly sway away from the dance and to the trees.
"Where are we going nessie?"
I didn't answer Jacobs question and I slowly broke free of him. I started walking closer to the trees as Jacob started shouting at me.
"Nessie, where are you going?"
"Wait!" he stopped following me and just stood there.
I saw something move behind the trees, so I went closer. I heard a growl from behind the trees. Something was wrong. I reached one of the trees. I touched the bark and took a closer look at the trees. It wasn't very visible but there were scratch markings from some sort of animal. I traced the bark with the markings. I suddenly heard my mum's voice shouting at me as I heard her running towards me.
"Nessie, get away from there!"
I heard the rest of my family running towards me. I turned around and saw their worried faces. Jacob almost stumbles as he came running towards me. I was about to move my feet when a huge black paw was wrapped around my waist and pulled me behind the trees. Suddenly, everything went black.
