Chapter 8

BPOV

October 31st 2006

Today is my birthday, today; I turn 17 years old. I am not looking forward to it as I know that Alice will organise one of her insane parties. I tried to get her to back down, but she would have none of it. "Bella, I have no memory of my human life before I became a vampire. Please let me live it through you" Alice said to me.

After that I just seemed to give in to her.

However I made her promise that she would only get me one present, making sure that this rule applied to the rest of the family. She happily seemed to compromise with me; however I didn't expect her to invite a hundred people to the occasion. Alice can definitely be devious when she wants to be.

Alice to my utter horror had to decide that the theme of my party was going to be Halloween. It looked a little garish and tacky in my eyes; however the guests seemed to be enjoying themselves. Emmett thought that it would be funny for him, if he dressed up as the stereotypical vampire. I on the other hand just rolled my eyes; it was definitely something that Emmett would do. I could also see that Jasper didn't seem to be able to control his reactions as he was rolling about laughing at his brother.

Alice had also organised for a cake to be made, I didn't really like the colour, but I just plastered a smile on my face and quickly tried to move on to the next activity.

The party if you could call it that, as it seemed more of a timetabled event in my opinion; I think Alice had definitely found a love for camp movies recently. I would definitely have to make sure that I spoke to her about that.

When I finally counted how many gifts I had received were about 100, far more then I would ever need. After such a long and eventful day I really just wanted to go to sleep. Edward always the sweetheart had given me a diamond heart necklace, which he had explained had once belonged to his mother.

I climbed into my bed once I had got home, Alice had tried to persuade me to let her sleep over for the night, but I had quickly shot that idea down, and thankfully Edward had supported me on this. "I would like Bella for myself tonight" he said. For that I would always be grateful to him, he just laid with me wrapped in his arms all night.

November 2006

It had been a week since my birthday and Edward's family had now decided that I should be shown their version of baseball. Which I gratefully accepted their invitation? I knew that everyone was going to be safe as I would only be observing the game; I wanted to see what it was like playing it in the storm.

Little did I know that there was trouble coming?

Saturday, November 2006

Today was the day for the storm and the baseball game, I was really looking forward to it, it would allow Edward to show me just how good he was. It was just the fact that I would be able to spend the evening with everyone, while they played a sport that they loved.

When we got there it was a large clearing just off of the highway just outside of Forks, we had all decided that Emmett's jeep was going to be the best car to use. Edward had decided that he wanted to carry me; however I soon put a stop to that as I wanted to fly. He started running while I kept up with him so that he could show me the way there.

Within a few moments we had managed to get to where his family was, it seemed to come as a shock to them when they saw that I could fly.

"What it is just one of my many powers" I said. They all just seemed to stand there for a few minutes with their mouths open. "Can you teach me that...please...pretty please" Emmett said. I couldn't help the fact that I had started laughing; Emmett really is a big kid at heart. "Nope" I replied popping the p.

The game was soon underway, they were all very good and you could see that they had a lot of practise. After the 5th person had batted, Alice had called for the game to be stopped; you could see that something was up. I had a feeling that it would soon present itself, I just had to hope that everyone was going to be prepared for it.

An; I'm so sorry for taking so much time updating, I am not very good with using technology. So I do not have an Ipad or Iphone. All I have is a 3 year old computer, that is connected to the internet. The said room was under renovations for the passed 2 weeks, and this has delayed my updates. I hope that you all understand, so please leave me a review. I would also like to say a huge thank you to my beta reader '1918Edwardlover'.
