Book 4: Tiffany

Alicia and I just got back from our hunting trip. She still wasn't talking to me. We had traveled together in silence. She had eventually run a separate way and I left her be.

"Hurry up and get ready. We'll be late for school," Edward was saying. Everyone was ready as we were just getting ready.

I had quickly pulled together and outfit. I was wearing a pair of faded jeans and a baby blue tank top. I pulled a jacket onto my shoulders to hide the straps. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail but let my bangs hang loose. I halfway zipped up my black jacket and turned to the door.

My eyes widened.

Alicia was standing there. She was beautiful. She had on a pair of jeans with the most beautiful shirt. It was completely black and had ruffles on the bottom. It was slanted. The left side was at her hip and it traveled down till it hit her right knee. It was spaghetti strapped, but on the straps were little bands of faux diamonds where the straps collided with the start of the shirt. She spun around in a circle causing the shirt to flow beautifully around her. The back came down to her middle back. The straps made a diamond pattern on her back the way they crossed. Beautiful.

That was just her outfit. It was her face that topped it off. She had silver eye shadow, black eyeliner, and a little bit of black mascara to lengthen her already beautiful was wearing good sized silver hoops. Her hair was in a high ponytail and she let a little hair hang out on the right side.

"Okay, does it look that bad? And close your mouth, you're gonna catch flies," she said.

"No, no. You look pretty. Why so dressy? Hey you're talking to me! I'm so sorry. Alice and Jasper told me everything. I won't wear it if it makes you-" I babbled.

"Tiff. It's fine. You can wear it. It doesn't bother me. I'm dressing this way because I want to show people I'm not boring. I want people to think I'm beautiful," Alicia said.

"Most of them do," Edward said from behind her. "But you know you can't have a human boyfriend. You're just taunting them."

"I know. It just...it just makes me feel better. Besides, mom loved it when I would put on dressy things and eye shadow." Alicia put her head down but smiled.

Suddenly, looking at Alicia, I felt pain. I sighed. Oh well.

"Ready now?" Edward asked.

"Yep," I said as I appeared at Alicia's side.

"Yes," Alicia said.

I grabbed my sister's hand and we walked out to the cars. Before we left, I waved to Seth and gave him a quick kiss. Alicia's smile didn't falter a bit. She was totally relaxed. Jasper and Alice did a nice job.

"Okay, let's go," Alice said as she started up her Porsche.

Jasper was in the passenger seat. My sister and I were in the back. Edward, Bella, Rosalie, and Emmett all settled into Edward's Volvo. We pulled out of the garage.

Alice pulled the canary yellow car into a spot. Everyone stared at the expensive car. I thought, Ohmygod. People are staring. Oh well. At least Alicia will look like she's supposed to step out of the car.

As I looked at Alice and Jasper, I noticed that we all looked like that.

We stepped out of the car. I heard whistles from a couple of guys as they took in my sister's appearance. She smiled and walked over to me. We walked into the building and all the while behind us, boys were cheering at her, at all of us. Alicia was emanating happiness and forcing it on us all. I didn't mind.

Alice and Jasper didn't seem to mind either. They held each others' hand and walked, smiling.

We were sitting in class when he walked in. He had shoulder length black hair that was brushed towards his dace. He was wearing awesome clothes. He had the whole big t-shirt over the long sleeved, tight fitting, shirt thing going on. He had faded jeans.

Then I noticed something off about him. He was very pale with dark lips. I looked at his eyes and gasped. My eyes widened.

Yellow.

I stared into the bottomless yellow eyes of the male vampire standing before us. I looked away from him to my sister. She was smiling at him.

You know he's a vampire, right? I thought to her.

Yep. And he's sooo hot, she thought back.

I rolled my eyes.

"Ah, yes," Mr. Barton said. "Mr. Davis. Nice to finally meet you. Yes."

The boy handed Mr. Barton the slip that new kids got.

"Alright. Well, you can take a seat by Miss Cullen."

We had gotten our last names changed to Cullen. We had told them our mom had died and we were staying with the Cullens. They had adopted us. None of that was a lie.

The boy went over to the desk next to my sister. He placed his books under his desk and looked to my sister with a smile.

"Hi," he said.

"Hi," she said back.

"Alright. Today we will be reviewing for the test on Friday," Mr. Barton said.

"Oh God," I said.

"What test?" Alicia said, talking across the isle.

Mr. Barton laughed. "It's okay girls. You two won't have to take it. I will give you a week to go over the material on the test and you can take it then. That goes for you too, Mr. Davis."

The boy nodded with a smile.

I sat down heavily at the lunch table next to Bella and sighed.

"What's wrong, Tiffany?" Edward asked.

"Nothing. I'm just wondering when I'll get a word in with my sister," I said.

"Where is she anyways?" Jasper asked.

"Yeah, it's not like her to be wandering around," Rosalie said. She looked to Emmett and he gave an agreeing nod.

"With the new kid," I said. "Speaking of. Have any of you seen the new kid?"

"Nope," Edward said.

"Not at all," Bella said.

"No," Alice said.

Rosalie shook her head.

"No." Jasper had one eyebrow up.

"I didn't even know there was a new kid," Emmett said.

"Well there is. And get this. He's like us," I said.

"Quiet?" Emmett asked.

"No, you idiot, a vampire," Alice clarified.

"No, kidding," Jasper said. He was looking at the doors. We all turned to follow his gaze.

Alicia and the boy were walking together. She would occasionally point at something and her mouth would move.

"Stay here," I saw her mouth to him. She skipped over to us. He watched her the whole time.

"Hey guys," she said.

The "hi's" and "hey's" were muttered.

"Hey, um, can Jackson sit with us?" she asked.

We all looked at each other.

"He is one of us. So I guess, no harm could be done," Edward said.

"Sure," Jasper said.

Everyone else chimed in with an "okay" or a "why not."

Alicia squeaked in pleasure. "Cool. Be right back." She skipped back over to him and he followed her to our table.

"Hi," he said.

We welcomed him with warm smiled and "hello's." He pulled out a chair and sat next to my sister.

"So you guys are twins?" Jackson asked.

"Yep," Alicia and I replied.

"You sure don't look it," he said.

"We're biological twins. We don't look alike but we were born from the same person at the same time," Alicia said.

I hit her arm. "Shut up." We laughed.

I heard a ringing in my mind. I looked at Edward and raised an eyebrow. He nodded.

What's up? I thought.

Is there anyway I can read Alicia's mind? he thought back.

Sure. Hold on.

I concentrated and pulled back my link with Alicia. This is allowed Edward to read her mind. I could hear her thoughts too through Edward. Apparently she didn't notice.

Hmm. He's so cute. I wonder if he could come over. I like him a lot. From the first time I saw him. It was like something clicked. Quite literally, she was thinking.

"Oh god!" Edward said.

I lost my control and my link slipped back, cutting off Edward.

"What's wrong?" Bella said, touching Edward's arm.

"The wolves were wrong. Big time. It. Is. Not. Rare!"

Everyone was staring at him. Jackson was looking at him like he was mental.

"What is going on?" Alice asked.

I laughed. "Alicia. She-she-"

"She what?" Jasper asked.

"She. Wolf thing." I laughed.

They all looked at Alicia. "You imprinted on Jackson!"

She was staring like she was embarrassed. She looked at me and slapped my cheek. Not hard enough to draw attention, but still hard enough to sting a little. "You idiot!"

"What's going on?" Jackson asked.

Alicia chuckled humorlessly. "Long story. Uh do you want to come over after school so we can explain?"

"Uh, sure. Can you explain some now?"

"Well..." Just then the bell rang. Alicia sighed in relief. "Saved by the bell. C'mon. What do you have next?"

Jackson pulled out a wrinkled piece of paper out of his jean pocket. "Uh. It says Chemistry."

Alicia squeaked. "Cool! Me too! C'mon, I'll show you where that is. There's an open seat next to me in that class as well."

She grabbed his hand and they walked out of the doors. The rest of us were sitting there staring at where they left.

"Well she sure seems happy," Emmett said.

"Yep," Alice agreed.

Jasper wrapped his arm around Alice's shoulder and smiled. "Good for her."

A teacher walked by and knocked Jasper's arm off of Alice. "No public display of affection."

Jasper cleared his throat. "Sorry."

We all laughed and walked to class.

At the house, after school, Jackson was sitting in the living room with the rest of the family.

"So, Jackson. Where did you come from?" Carlisle was asking.

"I came from North Dakota. I had to move from there because people were starting to notice I wasn't changing," Jackson said.

"Yeah. We recently moved from Forks, Washington for the very same reason," Bella said.

"Well I'm glad I found you all. I've been very lonely."

"Do you have any friends of our kind?" I asked.

"Nope. I have passed a few nomads but never made any lasting friendships," he said.

My sister placed her hand on top of his. He looked up and smiled at her. She smiled back.

"So what's the deal with this whole 'You imprinted on Jackson!' stuff?" he asked.

Alicia sighed. "Well. Let's see I'm a-"

The radio cut her off by saying, "She wolf!"

I looked over and Emmett had turned the radio suddenly on and then suddenly off. We all laughed as we got what had just happened. Except for Jackson and Alicia.

"Yeah that," Alicia said.

"Explain," Jackson said.

"Well I was bitten by a werewolf and some weird reaction thing happened and boom! I'm a werevamp.

He laughed. "That doesn't seem like such a long story."

"That doesn't answer your question either. About the whole imprint thing. Imprinting is where, uh, a werewolf finds her, uh..." Alicia stuttered and looked at me for help.

"Soul mate," I suggested.

"Yeah that," Alicia said to Jackson.

"Oh. So that means I'm your..." Jackson trailed off.

"Soul mate? Yeah. But you have a choice. It's not like you have to stay around me. I can be whatever you need. A friend, a girlfriend, someone to talk to, someone to beat up, whatever."

I like the second one." Jackson smiled.

"G-girlfriend?"

Jackson nodded.

"Are you asking her out?" I asked excitedly.

"It was a weird way to do it but yeah, I asked her out," Jackson said to me. He looked back to Alicia. "What do you say?"

"Well. You're super nice and really cut. And you're not a human. So... yes!"

Jackson wrapped his arms around my sister's shoulders and held her in a tight hug. After a couple of seconds they seemed to have remembered the rest of us and let go of each other.

"So now what?" I asked.

"That's right!" Alicia said.

"What?"

"You and Alice have some planning to do."

"Oh yeah!" Alice squeaked. "Alicia we still need your help with the whole drawing the gown thing."

"You draw?" Jackson asked Alicia.

"Yes. Quite well, so my sister says," she replied.

"Can I come watch?" He turned to Alice.

"Sure. The more the merrier!" Alice said smiling. She got up and grabbed my wrist and my sister's wrist. Alicia held onto Jackson's hand. Alice dragged us all out of the room and up the stairs.

We were in Carlisle's office. It looked the same as when we had come in there the first time. Alicia and I sat in two chairs on one side of the desk. Alice sat by herself of the other side. Jackson perched himself on the arm of Alicia's chair.

Alice threw a sketch pad and a pencil at Alicia.

"Okay, so Tiffany start explaining your dress. And Alicia, you listen and sketch it out to the best of your ability," Alice said.

"Okay," Alicia and I said.

"And Jackson, you can just watch."

"Thanks for keeping me in the loop," Jackson said.

We all smiled.

"Okay. So my dress is going to come down to cover my feet and it's strapless. It had a ribbon that goes around my waist and ties in a bow at my lower back. It has a small tail. And there's a veil. It's solid white with that mesh see-through stuff. The cloth is white, the mesh is blue. The dress, I mean. The veil is pure white. There is a pair of white shoes that have small heels. Did you get all of that?" I said.

Alicia nodded. She had part of her tongue sticking out and her pencil was fast at work. "Yep." A few minutes later, "And-" she dragged out the word. "Done."

My sister turned the sketch pad around and there was the exact dress I had envisioned. It was absolutely beautiful.

"Ohmygod! I love it!" I grabbed the pad and hugged it. "I love you! You're the best!" I got up and hugged my sister.

"I know," she said smugly.

"Let me see," Alice said.

I handed Alice the pad.

"Oh my gosh! Alicia this is amazing."

"Sure is," Jackson said.

"Thank you," Alicia said.

"So now, we need to figure out who you're going to dance with and in what order." Alice sounded business-like. She pulled the drawing of the dress off and picked up a pencil. She wrote something on the new sheet of paper.

"Hmm. Well after people get married, the bride usually dances with her father so I would probably dance with Edward first. Then I will dance with Carlisle, then Emmett, then Jacob, and then Jasper." Each time I said a name she wrote it down.

"Why is Jasper last?" Alicia asked.

"Yeah, why is Jasper last?" Jasper said from the doorway.

Everyone jumped-except Alice-at the sound of his voice. I had no idea he was there.

"Uh... I don't know?" I said in the form of a question."

We all chuckled.

"And then I'll dance with Alicia, then Alice. I saved the special onces for last," I said.

"Hey, I'm special," Emmett said from behind Jasper.

"Yeah, you're special."

"Special Ed," Alicia muttered.

We all laughed except Emmett.

"Wait, who's Ed?" Emmett asked.

We all laughed.

Emmett walked out of the room. We all stopped laughing and Alicia turned to Jasper.

"Hey, what did you come up here for?" Alicia asked.

"Maria's back," he said. He sounded a little wary.

"What's wrong?" I asked, worried.

"Nothing. It's just... Something is wrong."

"You sense it too?" Alicia said.

"I first noticed it when you started growling at her. It makes my skin crawl, whatever it is. I felt the need to be up here with Alice."

"Yeah. But she-"

Alice cut her off with a gasp. We all looked over and she was completely blank.

Jasper walked over to her and grabbed her shoulders. "Alice. What did you see?"

"Be quiet. Maria will be coming up very soon," Alice said.

Sure enough, about a minute later, we heard Maria ascending the stairs. She appeared in the doorway.

"Hola, everyone," she said. "How's the whole wedding thing going?"

"Great," Alice said to break the mood. "The dress it done." She walked over with the drawing to show Maria. Jasper stiffened. "Well the design anyway."

"Hmm. Pretty."

Alicia turned from her. Her face was contorted in anger. I felt her buzzing to talk to me.

Yeah? I thought to her.

Your dress is not merely pretty. It's beautiful, she thought to me.

Aww.

I then realized that Jasper had been watching her. His eyes moved back to Maria. Alicia was at my side now.

Just then, a black blur jumped through the window and tackled me. I screamed and fell to the floor. Then I laughed as I realized what it was.

"Hello, Willow," I said laughing.

Everyone backed out of their crouches.

"Guys, this is Willow, our vampire cat," I said.

Another blur jumped in. It tackled my sister. She fell to the floor with a harder thud than mine. Rontu was licking Alicia.

Alicia was laughing. "Hey c'mon, get off! Hey, quit it! Cut it out!"

Rontu got off and looked around. His eyes zeroed in on Jasper.

Jasper noticed and his eyes widened. "No do-"

Rontu tackled Jasper and it cause him to cut off mid-sentence. Jasper landed on the floor, louder than both me and my sister. Rontu was licking Jasper.

"Rontu." Alicia walked over to Jasper and pulled Rontu off.

Jasper sat up and rubbed the back of his head. "Ow. Damn that hurt." Alice came over and bent down next to him, placing her hand on his head.

"I'm surprised you didn't go through the floor. You guys hit hard enough," Emmett said.

"Shut up," Jasper snapped. He stood up. "So this is Rontu?"

"Yep. He's especially fond of me. I guess he likes you too Jasper," Alicia said.

"I would guess so."

"So, Tiffany," Alice said, causing everyone to focus on her. "Got your play list ready for the dances?" She picked up the sketch pad and pencil again.

"Yes actually. When I dance with Seth, I want Our Song by Taylor Swift. Then when I dance with Edward I want Far Away by Nickelback. Then Carlisle with Remember Me by Carrie Underwood. Then Stand in the Rain by Superchick for Emmett. A Little Too Not Over You by David Archuletta for Jacob. Then for Jasper a very pretty song called Beauty From Pain by Superchick. Then I'll dance to Perfect Day by Superchick with Alice. And finally, I'll dance with my sister to So Beautiful by Superchick," I announced.

Alice turned around to the computer that was sitting by Carlisle's desk. She pulled up YouTube and started typing in the first song. "I want to hear these."

She typed in Our Song by Taylor Swift. A lot of results came up but she clicked the first one. It started to play.

Alicia and I looked at each other and smiled. We began to sing together. "I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car. He had a one hand feel on the steering wheel, the other on my... heart." Our voices blended perfectly.

After that we listened to all the songs in order.

"Good choices. Well we have a lot of planning to do," Alice said. "So anyone's who's not helping, get out."

Maria and Emmett walked out the door and down the stairs. Jasper lingered.

"You're going to help?" Alice asked.

"I don't think I could be of much help but if I can you know I'm always here," Jasper said.

She laughed. "You're always a big help in this kind of stuff, Jasper. You helped me with Bella's wedding, remember?"

"How?"

"You stood there and looked the way you do. Why do you think it was so beautiful?"

Jasper smiled. "You think too highly of me."

Alice rolled her eyes. "No I don't. Tiffany, what colors do you want for your wedding?"

"Black, blue, and white."

"Bride's maids outfits?" Alice looked at Alicia. Alicia lifted her pad and put the pencil to it.

"They are solid black and they go down to the knees. It's strapless. There a thick ribbon at the top of blue and one at the bottom as well."

"Got it?"

Alicia nodded. "Yep." She turned the book around. Again, there was the exact thing I imagined.

"Well done," Jasper said.

"Wow," Jackson said.

Alicia smiled. "Thanks."

"Um, Alice," I said.

She turned to me. "Yes?"

"If there is enough time, can you make a dress for Renesmee too?"

"Of course!"

"Cool."

"Go ahead and describe it."

Alicia ripped the picture off and placed it with the other drawing. She put her pencil to the paper and looked up at me.

"Okay. Since she's a kid it won't be strapless. The sleeves are really short. They are a little thicker than spaghetti straps. You know what I'm talking about, right?" I said.

Alicia nodded. "Yeah. Go on."

"The main part of the dress is white. It's sort of like a smaller version of mine but instead of the blue, it has black and instead of strapless it has the straps I mentioned a minute ago. Take off the see through type material and make the belt around the waist black."

Alicia's pencil scribbled very fast. She hit the pencil in a dot. She smiled and turned it around. It was colored too. Now that I looked back they were all colored. I looked on the desk beside her and there were some colored pencils. When did they get there? Oh God. Blonde moment.

"What's wrong?" Jasper and Alicia said. They looked at each other and continued speaking together. "Oh God. Hey, quit it. Ugh. We really got to stop this."

We all laughed. Rontu got up off the floor and jumped up on Alicia's lap. I felt something on my shoulder and looked over. Willow.

"So now what?" I asked.

"Hmm. Jackson, Alicia, and Tiffany," Alice said. "Get out. Jasper come here."

Jasper looked as confused as I felt. I looked around and saw that everyone was confused.

"I'm confused," I said.

"No kidding," Alicia and Jasper said.

"Get out," Alice said. She stood up and pushed me, Jackson, and my sister out the door. She closed the door and I heard Jasper chuckling.

"Like a door could stop anyone in this house?" I said.

Alice and Jasper laughed.

"Good point. Oh well. Go away. I need concentration," Alice said.

"Why is Jasper in there then?"

"Let it drop, Tiffany," Alicia said. "It isn't worth it."

I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked over and Edward was standing there.

He cleared his throat and said, "I believe there is an 'I told you so' in order here."

"Shut up, Edward," I heard Alice call. I heard Jasper laugh.

"Ugh," I said.

"Don't worry about it. Alice knows what she's doing," Edward said.

"Yeah, Tiff," Alicia said. "Calm down."

"But-but-" I stuttered.

"Hey. Take your buts and go downstairs."

I obeyed my sister. They all followed me.

Jackson had gone home. Alicia seems a lot happier now that she has found Jackson. I'm happy for her.

Alice is planning my wedding and it's turning out fabulous. Every once in a while she would call me up to where her and Jasper were working to look at fabric, beads, or candles for the decor and dress. She had me pick out flowers. For my main flower I picked roses. Black, blue, and white roses.

It has been two week since Alicia drew the dresses. Alice is almost done. Right now, Alice, Alicia, Jasper, and Jackson are upstairs. Alice is having Alicia draw the wedding scene. Seth and I are not allowed to see it. That is making me mad.
