Chapter 26: An Engagement Gift
By 6:45 am, I was dressed, had eaten breakfast, kissed Jacob passionately several times, and was preparing myself for a Vampire Speed day of wedding planning when I had an idea of how I could give Jacob an engagement gift which he would really enjoy. I was going to need my Dad's, Uncle Emmett's, and Uncle Jasper's help in order to get this to work. Except for keeping him locked up in the fortress with me, I figured that an afternoon with three overprotective vampires was the second safest way for him to spend his day.
When Jacob left the kitchen to take his shower, I whispered to my Dad, "Could you help me do something nice for Jacob today?"
"What do you have in mind Nessie," Dad replied.
"Well, I know that Aunt Alice is going to torture both of us today, but really, Jacob doesn't really care about all the details of the wedding. I thought that maybe you, Uncle Em, and Uncle Jaz could take him out hunting or something so he doesn't have to be subjected to her all day. Do you think you could come up with something," I asked.
"Leave it to me," Dad said, "We'll take care of everything."
"You promise to be nice to him, right," I asked.
"Of course, he will soon be my son-in-law. You know I have considered Jake a member of the family for years now," he replied sincerely. "I've been thinking of replacing my Volvo. At this point all of our cars are over 10 years old. I think I can talk your Uncles and Jake into going car shopping this afternoon, does that sound like a good cover?"
"That sounds perfect Dad, Thank you," I said. "I'll go break the news to Aunt Alice, and have her do any measurements or anything else she needs Jake for first thing so you guys can make a break for it."
"I'll, do it sweetheart," Dad said, "I'll tell her that I want Jacob's mechanical expertise since she will be monopolizing Rosalie all day. She should believe that."
"Thanks Dad," I said as I pecked him on the cheek and ran to find Jacob.
I went running out of the kitchen and back upstairs to my parent's room. I walked in on Jacob getting dressed. He looked so delectable. His black hair dripping down his russet skin and his dark brown eyes peering out from behind his thick lashes were irresistible. His bulging muscles, including his perfect pecks, his six pack abs, and the perfect V that his torso makes where it connects to his strong thighs. I couldn't help myself; I slammed the door behind me. House full of Vampires or not, I tackled him to the bed and straddled him. I grabbed him everywhere; my hands had minds of their own, as I kissed him passionately.
"Good Morning to you too," Jacob gasped between kisses, and then added, "Your Aunt will be in here in exactly two minutes, you better let me get dressed. "
"I have an engagement gift for you," I said coyly.
"Nessie, I don't want you to spend money buying me gifts," he replied.
"This one cost nothing actually, but not only is it free, it gives you a little bit of freedom," I replied.
"Dad and my Uncles are going car shopping today. You are going to be their mechanic/ expert since Aunt Rose is going to be stuck here helping us plan the wedding," I replied with a big grin on my face.
"You mean that I am free from the wedding planning," he said incredulously.
"This afternoon yes. This morning, she will be attacking you in about 90 seconds now so you better get dressed because she is going to need to get everything done with you measurements and stuff before you go."
I rolled off him and let him stand up. He quickly pulled his shorts on, and just missed having Aunt Alice walk in on him while he was totally naked.
"Come on Jacob," he hissed. "I only have until noon to get all of your measurements done, your tuxedo fitted, etc. Very convenient the whole car shopping thing, I am pretty sure that I know where this plan came from," she said and looked at me as if she had daggers in her eyes.
I went with Jacob into Aunt Alice's room as she slipped a Tuxedo on to him, which she had sewn last night for him, and began to pin it, to adjust the fit so that it was perfect. He looked very dapper in his tuxedo. It was somewhat old fashioned, with an ascot instead of a bowtie to go with the princess theme.
At about noon, good to her word, Aunt Alice was finished with Jacob, and kicked him out for his afternoon with my Dad and Uncles.
"Now we have to head down to your parent's cabin," Aunt Alice said, "I am hiding the dress there until the day of the wedding so that Jacob won't see it."
"I thought that you ordered 3 dresses Aunt Alice," I replied.
"Yes, but I already re-worked them into one dress which meets all the favorite parts you had from each dress. It really will look beautiful if I do say so myself," she said grinning.
"I know you have Vampire speed, but how did you get a Tuxedo and a Wedding Dress done so quickly," I asked, stunned with all she had already accomplished.
"Well lots of money for one," she said, and then continued, "Any designer will hand deliver a gown themselves for the right amount of money and second, I want to make this as perfect as I can for you, even if it can't be as perfect as it would have been if we had more time."
"I love you Aunt Alice," I said, "You and Aunt Rose are the best Aunts that anyone could ever have."
"I love you two Nessie," my aunt said, and she looked as though she would be crying if she could.
Aunt Alice and I quickly made our way to my parent's cabin. I stepped inside my room, and hanging from a hook on the front of my closet door was the most beautiful wedding gown that I had ever seen in my life. It had Swarovski crystal beads along the sweetheart neckline. The neckline gently flowed off the shoulders; it had long sleeves, which were intricately embroidered with bugle beads, just as the bodice was. At the waistline, the gown puffed out like a ball gown. It was the type of gown that you would expect Cinderella or Snow White would wear. It was perfect for me to marry my Jacob in.
Choking back tears of joy, I said to my Aunt, "It's beautiful and perfect, thank you so much."
"It's my pleasure Nessie," she said then added, "slip it over your head so I can check the fit."
The gown fit me perfectly, well to be at least, but Aunt Alice did some more pinning and adjusting before she helped me slide it off.
As we headed back to the house, I heard the buzzing of a helicopter overhead. It was very unusual for a helicopter to be flying over the Cullen property. I initially thought that it was just part of the forestry service, and that it must be looking for some missing hikers, but then I noticed that it was coming lower, and lower as it approached my aunt and I walking back from the cabin.
Finally, when the copter was close enough, I noticed that the pilot was being piloted by Aro. My Aunt Alice and I turned to make run back to the cabin, but it was too late. As we turned, Felix, Demetri, and Nahuel jumped from the helicopter, attached to some type of tether that resembled bungee cord. I immediately remembered the bracelet that Sam had given me. I held my arm close to my body and immediately set off the panic alarm on my bracelet.
It all happened so fast that it was a blur. Felix flew down from the copter, kicking my Aunt Alice so hard that she went flying 100 feet into a tree and broke the tree in two, while Nahuel and Demetri grabbed me by my shoulders. I tried to fight them off, but for each one of my arms, there were two of theirs. As I was being pulled into the copter, I saw my mother and Aunt Rose come running from the house. I tried to jump from the helicopter, but Demetri flung me into the center seat between him and Nahuel in the back and the both of them restrained me as, Felix climbed back into the passenger seat in the front.
I looked down from the helicopter at my family home, at the life that I was loosing, and most of all, with sorrow that Jake and I had decided to wait for our wedding night. I knew all too well what Nahuel's plan was for me, and that was to rape me. The only man that I ever wanted to touch me intimately, may never even see me again, and I was flying off against my will to become this monster's sex slave.
