New York, here we come

The whole family was standing in the airport of Alaska, waiting for our flight to take us to New York. Max and Damien where arguing about so video game, Irina and Laurent were talking quietly off to my right. Brittany and Clara were sitting down flipping through some fashion magazine debating which outfits and designers where good and which ones weren't. I was sitting down with my laptop in front of me, booking us in at school, and making sure I had covered everything.

Victoria leaned over my shoulder to see what I was doing.

You know, this is the third time you've checking over everything. Stop worrying, you've done everything. – Victoria

Being the leader, its sort of my job to worry. – Bella

Oh, everything will be fine. By the way, I think Clara's as into fashion as Alice is. – Victoria

I looked over to were Clara was sitting, and sure enough, she was giving Brittany a lecture on this season's style, while Brittany couldn't care less.

At least she'll be playing Brittany Barbie, not Bella Barbie, all though I'll probably end up getting Brittany out of having to play Barbie. – Bella

You probably will. - Victoria

'Flight 767 to New York boarding at gate 4. Repeat, flight 767 to New York boarding at gate 4.' Came a female voice over the loud speakers.

"That's us," I said putting my laptop in its bag and flinging it over my shoulder, "Let's go."

Everyone got up and came over to the flight attendant at gate 4.

"For first class seats head down that tunnel and make a right you will directed to your seats from there," cut me off a slice of that meat, I mean, I know they're like 15 years younger than me but come on, no human can look that beautiful, I wonder if they'd go for me I mean, no snap out of it… - flight attendant

"Thankyou," I said walking past her as quickly as possible. "Uh, that was disgusting," I said as we walked.

"What was?" Brittany asked as she came up next to me.

"That flight attendant thinking very inappropriate things about Max and Damien," I said shuddering.

A chorus of 'ewww' could be her behind me.

There was a middle aged woman waiting for us at the door of the plain with much more pleasant thoughts to listen to.

"You will be seated in the first 8 seats you see to your left and right," she said kindly pointing us in the right direction.

The first class cabin was defiantly something. There a row of three big white leather chairs on the right and a row of three big white leather chairs on the left. With a walkway down the middle and two more rows of chairs behind.

"Lets sit down," Irina said. Victoria sat down on the first seat on the right, me next to her and Brittany on my other side. Laurent sat in the first seat to the left Irina next to him and max next to the isle. We were the only people flying first class. After everyone had entered flight attendants stated pointing out exits and what to do in the event of an emergency. Half way through this I started talking to Brittany and Victoria in my head.

Hey Brittany – Bella

Yeah? – Brittany

Bella and I thought we'd better warn you about Calra planing on making you her personal Barbie doll. – Victoria

How do you know that's what she's planing? – Brittany

In my human life I had a friend who was a vampire who was obsessed with shopping. She and her family left me though. – Bella

You Ok? – Brittany

Yeah, I'm fine – Bella

How come you've never told us about your past? – Brittany

Her past isn't exactly the prettiest. I know, I part of the reason why it isn't. – Victoria

Brittany put a comforting hand on my check and all of a sudden wasn't seeing the cabin in front of her.

I was walking into the cafeteria talking to Jessica on my first day of high school. Edward was looking at curiously and I was starring at the Cullen family. Edward was sitting next to me with coal black eyes starring me down. A group of us were sitting around a bond fire at La Push beach. Me and Jacob talking and him telling me about vampires. Me being followed down the side alleys of Port Angeles and Edward saving me. Edward admitting he was a vampire. Me meeting the Cullen family. The baseball game, were James, Laurent and Victoria showed up. Me, Alice and Jasper running away to Phoenix. Me and James in the ballet studio, James bitting me, and Edward sucking the venom out. Me waking in the hospital in Phoenix. Edward and I dancing at prom. My 18 birthday and Jasper taking a snap at me. Edward telling me he didn't love me and leaving me in the forest. Victoria finding me, and finally, me being bitten.

"Oh my God," Brittany said bringing her hand up to her mouth.

"Told you my past wasn't the prettiest," I said. "And we just found your power, the power to see peoples pasts."

"Nice power," Victoria said from next to me.

"Thanks," Brittany said, "Now I see why didn't tell us about your past."

"What's in the past is in the past. And its supposed to stay there," I said to her.

"I guess your right," she said as we rambled on for the rest of the trip.

'Attention passengers, please fasten your seatbelts as we begin our decent into New York. Thankyou for flying American Airlines.'

We all fastened our seatbelts as we prepared for our decent into New York.

As soon as the seatbelt sign was off my family was walking of the plane. We went straight to the baggage collection section and got our bag. We hadn't packed much considering we were going to shop for close today.

As we walked to the door we saw a man standing there with a sign that said Hunter.

"Hello sir," the man said shaking Laurent's. "I will driving you to your building were your cars will be awaiting you in your personal garage and a key for each of you at the front door." He said leading us out to a sleek black limo parked out the front of the airport. Laurent, Max and Damien went to the boot to load all our bags. Once we were all seated the driver took off through the streets of New York.

After about 15 minutes we arrived at one of the most stylish and modern building I had ever seen. It was 81 stories high with glass doors everywhere. The limo parked under a huge car shelter that lead to the front door of the building. 4 bellboys in black suits came out to assist with our luggage. One opened the door and held out there hand to me.

As Victoria and I stepped out the bellboys seemed momentarily stunned. The holding my hand started working out a way to me and Victoria his number, even though we clearly looked at least 6 years younger than him.

"Lets go get our keys," I said before he could form an actual plan.

All of us walked in together, attracting a lot of attention form staff and public. We walked up to the reception desk to stand before a lady who was rather shocked to see so many beautiful people in designer close standing in front of her.

"I am Laurent Hunter and this is my wife Irina," Laurent said putting his hand on Irina's back.

"Of course sir," the lady said checking something on the computer.

After a minute she handed us 8 plastic cards, "these are your room keys, you have to put the in the card slot in the elevator to be able to get to your room because its on a whole floor," she said handing the keys to Laurent who distributed them to all of us. "I hope you enjoy living at the Peninsula."

Laurent nodded and we walked to the elevator. I pushed the up button and waited. 5 seconds later there was a ding sound and the elevator arrived.

We all stepped in to the spotless mirrored elevator and Laurent put the key in the slot as the doors closed. The elevator started moving quickly upwards. There was another ding sound as the doors opened to reveille of pent house.

The first living room was straight in front of us with a huge plasma screen mounted on the wall, a huge curving black leather couch, a white shaggy rug and a black wooden coffee table. The kitchen was forward a bit and off to the right with a modern black and white design. Across the room there was another door that probably lead to the second lounge room. There was a hallway going down the right side of the room with doors only on the outer side curving around to fit the shape of the building and the same thing on the left.

"First in, best dressed!" I yelled as we all scrambled out of the elevator.

Victoria, Brittany and I went right while everyone else went left. We scrambled to the first door and pulled it open.

"I call this one!" Brittany said running into the room. It had a polished white floor, white wall with huge windows and silver curtains. There was a white bed head with a gold set of draws in front of it with a bed next to it and a reading lamp. The bed was made with a silver duvet with gold floral embroidery and gold sheets. There was a soft mat of white and gold swirls under the bed. There was also a full-length stand-alone mirror across the room. Off to the right there were two doors, which was obviously the closet and bathroom.

"The room suits you," I said as Victoria and I continued down the hall.

Victoria opened the next door and immediately called it as hers. It had white thick carpet, and black walls with some white panels. There was a stand-alone bed in the middle that had a black set of draws on one side with a blood red lamp on top, and a coffee table on the other. The bed was made with a black duvet, that had red star shapes evenly spaced out on it, with big matching pillows and some smaller red ones. There was a white glass sliding door that obviously lead to the bathroom. This room was perfect for her.

Where's your closet? – Bella

Over here. – Victoria

She led me behind the black wall with white panels so we were standing in a closet that would put Alice's to shame.

Want to come with me to mine? – Bella

Sure. – Victoria

We walked out of her room to the next door in the hall. I opened the door and knew it was the one. It had polished white floor, with soft silver walls. There was a bed pressed up against the wall with a metallic blue duvet and pillow set with a baby purple blanket lying across the end of the bed. There was a big baby purple shaggy rug under the right hand corner of the bed. There were white square and rectangular boxes on the wall for putting books in. there was a white sliding glass door on the right hand side and a matching one on the left. I was pretty sure the bathroom was on the right because it had a lock on it.

We better go check the others haven't burnt the building down. – Victoria

Yeah, lets go. – Bella

We saw Brittany in the hall way as they were walking to the door at the end of the hall. As the opened the door to the second lounge room the door across the room opened revealing the rest of your family.

"Everyone got their room?" I asked as I walked into the room.

"Yep," they said in union.

"Can we see them?" I asked.

"Not now, we need to look the part of full blown rich New Yorker's, and you know what that means," Clara said with a glint in her eyes.

Please no.

"SHOPPING!!!"

HELP!
