Okay, so here goes chapter 2! I wrote it in the endless 2 day wait they give to new users. Oh, and I know so much about Pennsylvania, because I live there. I don't live in Columbia County nor do I attend Southern Columbia, but I pass everytime I go to Knoebels! Yes, I've been there. Go Tigers! (Southern Columbia's Mascot).
Bella's POVIt was a sunny Saturday and Edward and I were applying Carlisle's concoction to our skin. We still haven't found a good name for it yet.
"Carlisle, is this stuff waterproof?" I asked him. Suddenly he was at the door of the bathroom.
"Yes, unless you use soap," he paused, "Why?"
"Because, we are going to the Amusement Park today!" I replied like he asked the silliest question in the world. I sounded like Alice.
"Your point?" Has he ever been to an amusement park before?
"We're planning to go on the log ride…" I said in a cocky tone.
"And does that involve water?" Carlisle really needs to get out more.
"Yes, Carlisle, it involves water," Edward said, hopelessly. He leaned his head down and let it rest in his hand.
"I see…" he pondered that for a minute, "Have fun!" Carlisle sprinted out of the room.
"Where's he off to?" I asked Edward.
"He's going to research Log Flumes," he chuckled.
I turned to my daughter, "So, Rensemee are you ready to go to the Amusement Park?" rhetorical question, obviously, what 6 year old wouldn't?
"Yes Mommy!" she sang with delight, "But what's it like?"
"I told you, they have rides, were you can fly in the air, or go around in circles."
Rensemee looked confused. "You've got the wrong idea Nessie," Edward told her.
"Let me see." Nessie placed her hand on my arm.
"No, not like that," I stifled a laugh, "You'll just have to wait and see."
Knoebel's Family Amusement Resort was just a few miles away. Little Nessie bounced with excitement as I pointed out the sign to her.
"Knoebels Amusement Park...Straight Ahead!" she read with confidence.
Soon, we approached the rides and Nessie leaned her head to the window and squealed with delight.
"I want to go on that, and that, and that." She pointed to everything that moved.
First, we went to the Kiddie Ride area. Renesmee had a blast driving firetrucks, piloting helicopters, and riding on the back of a zebra.
Soon, we approached a roller coaster, in search of ice cream for Nessie to try.
"If Renesmee were tall enough, we could go on that," I suggested. As a human, even I liked roller coasters.
"Too, bad." Edward shook his head.
"I have an idea!" Suddenly my phone rang. It was Alice, and she saw what I wanted her to see.
"I saw that," she said.
"Yeah, so you want to come down?" I asked.
"Of coarse, this will be HILARIOUS." I was confused, but I trusted Alice.
She was at the park in 5 minutes.
"Okay, I'll go take Rensemee to see the Bald Eagles, and you and Edward can go on the rollercoaster." Alice then burst out laughing.
"Umm, love, must we go on the rollercoaster? I think Alice would enjoy it more, and I like bald eagles."
Oh, Edward didn't like rollercoasters. This would be fun.
The rest of the day was spend without anymore discomfort for Edward. If Edward had been human we would have definately thrown up.
"You can run through the woods at 100 miles and hour, and climb up trees 200 feet tall, but you can't handle a rollercoaster."
"No.." he said, susprisingly looking a bit green.
When we got home Alice and Rensemee were estactic and ready to tell everyone about thier day. Alice had rounded everyone up in the living room. We were just waiting for Carlisle. The door slammed closed.
"What is it,Carlisle?" Edward was naturally the first to know that Carlisle was puzzled. Jasper also looked uncomfortable, obviously affected by Carlisle's emotions.
"Hmmm," he said for awhile. Then he finally muttered, "It seems I've received a letter from Aro,"
"Aro?" we all said in unison, obviously puzzled as well.
"Let me open it," Carlisle sat down at the couch and we all crowded around him. He opened it and began to read out loud.
"Dearest Carlisle, I regret bothering you, as you've recently been very busy moving. I've had a visitor for the past few months. Her name is Grace, and she has many things in common with your little Renesmee. She too, is a half breed. She comes from Northern Italy, and she knows little about her heritage. Most of her life she has been with a small coven. She came to my attention, for she has many special abilities. She can appear to be invisible to to most people, though it is only an illusion. She also has the power to force people to retreat, or surrender. She is very fast, I'd say faster than your Edward. She is important to our guard, but she objects to the drinking of human blood, though she's lived on it most of her life. Ever since I have introduced her to human food, she refuses to drink blood anymore." Carlisle paused.
"Furthurmore, I have decided to send her to you, so she can try your ways. Perhaps, I can eventually wean her back to human blood. If not, she said she would appreciate the experience anyway. We are in no immediate threat, so it would not be important for her to stay. I hope you do not mind another addition to your family. I have also sent a photograph of her. Please repsond. Yours Truly, Aro."
None of us really knew what to say.
"Well, here's the picture." He finally said. He held up a picture of a beautiful girl,almost as beautiful as Rosalie. She had long, dark, burgandy hair with loose curls. Her eyes were deep blue and her skin pale with a blush, like Renesmee.
"So, is she coming?" Esme smiled at the idea of another member of the family.
"I don't see why not," Carlisle replied, "I guess I better starting writing a letter back," he ran off to his office.
