A/N- I hope you like this. It is my first piece of writing for this site.
Summary-Basically, this is what I want to happen in Breaking Dawn. It takes place right where Eclipse left off. Enjoy!!
Disclaimer: Ya, unfortunently, I don't own anything. I have to give credit for the ideas and characters and everything to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer.
Chapter 1- Ambushed
I woke. The sun was streaming through his windows. It couldn't have been much later than 8:00.
"Good morning, my love." His velvet voice swirled around me. I tried to open my eyes. His cold marble chest on my cheek and the warm morning sun on the other had me in a dream-like state.
"Mmm…" I tried to stretch but was interrupted when he kissed my forehead. I reached up to pull his face down to kiss him, but again, my plans were foiled. A slight knock on the door surprised me into my semi-awake mode.
"What, Alice?" Edward said somewhat rudely. His plans must have been foiled, too.
"Finally! Jeeze, Bella, I don't think it is humanely possible to sleep that long!" Alice complained. "Anyway, we have a long day ahead of us. Lot's of things to do so…Wake up! Bella come on. You're killing me. Let's go!"
"Alice…" Edward growled, "Let her sleep."
"Alice, it is impossible to kill you, but I might find a way!" I said still drowsy but I was making progress in the waking department. Edward and I had gone to bed early but had talked for most of the night. To Alice, it would seem like I had slept thirteen hours, but in reality I only had seven. "Besides, what is so important that I need to get out of bed, its probably not even 8:00!"
Alice gave me a ghastly look. Edward chuckled and pulled me up so that I was sitting upright with his arm around me. "DO NOT TELL ME YOU FORGOT. God, sometimes Bella you are such a stupid HUMAN!"
It was hard sometimes being the only human. Edward and his family, the Cullens, were vampires. But not the murderous, scary, vicious ones of the myths, they were so called "vegetarians". But from my experience, I had seen some pretty scary vampires, like James, Laurent, Victoria, and the Volturi. I had bad experiences with each of these vampires, so I couldn't help but shudder. "Come on, Alice. Clue me in. What am I missing?"
"Bella, your mom and all the other guests are coming to day." Alice, my maid-of-honor, was planning Edward's and my wedding. I really had just wanted something simple, like a trip to Las Vegas, but Alice had seemed utterly disappointed and depressed. So, I did what any person would do. Well, I normally wouldn't do it but I couldn't help to look at Alice and deprive her of a party. So, I let Alice plan my wedding, but I gave her a limit. August 13th was the latest the wedding could be. Edward was forever going to be 17 due to his being a vampire. My birthday, in September, would leave me to be 19. I had plans to spend eternity with Edward and his family as a vampire. The only problem was that before Edward was going to stop my heart with his venom, he required that we be married. Carlisle, his adopted father, had promised to turn me anytime after my graduation, but for some reason, I wanted Edward to be the one. The one that would give me an eternity to spend with him.
"Oh! Jeeze! Well you could have told me that a little earlier then!" I could not believe I had forgotten. Well, ok, to be perfectly honest, I wasn't surprised. I was trying to forget anything having to do with the wedding. It wasn't one of my finest moments. " I'm sorry, Alice, what do you need me to do?"
"Well, Edward, can start by setting up downstairs for the Engagement party. Actually, never mind, Emmett!" Alice screamed for her adopted brother, he was the best man in the wedding.
A thunderous boom came from downstairs, "What, Alice, I'm doing something downstairs."
"Well, come upstairs then, I have another something for you!" Emmett ran up the stairs at a blinding speed and came through the door. Edward and I were still in our pajamas and still under the covers.
"What time is it?" I remembered that I was kind of confused on the time.
Emmett's booming laugh, made me smile, "It is 10:30 sleepy head!"
"Holy… Oh my, I need to… I need… Oh, Boy!" The time had totally taken me by surprise. Even more than Alice's plans for the day had, which reminded me. "Alice hurry up and tell me what is going on.
Edward, Alice, and Emmett were amused by my reaction. "Anyway, Emmett, take Edward and go do whatever you 'need' to do. I think you know exactly what I mean." Alice gave Emmett a very intense look.
"Oh… gotcha. Let's go Edward!"
"Come on guys. I don't want to do that. No. I will not move." Edward could read peoples minds, so it didn't surprise me when Alice just ignored his complaints.
"Edward you knew this was coming. Emmett has been thinking about this for weeks. You can't have been totally in the dark. So suck it up and quit being a baby." Alice said in an all-knowing voice. "So, Bella, get up and get dressed. Meet me in my room in 10 minutes."
Then Alice and Emmett left Edward and me sitting smiling in bed. We both laid back down, not quite ready to face the challenges of the day, and certainly what the week entailed.
I buried my face in his chest and said, "I am starting to really rethink giving Alice the reigns."
"I know you do, but if it helps any, I love you." He replied. I could almost hear the smile in his voice.
I rolled my eyes and said, "I already know that. UGH… this day is going to be so long."
"Even more reason to get up." Edward jumped out of the bed and carefully picked me up. I don't think his beauty or any of his other qualities would ever become normal to me. I put my hand to his face to hold his gaze. His eyes were a little darker than usual. Which meaned he needed to go hunting, but they still held a certain fire in them. He held me in one arm and reached for my left hand with his other. He stared at the ring that my third finger held. I never let it leave my body. It was his mother's ring and sometimes he caught me staring at it when it was just us. It was perfect. Perfect for me. Perfect for him. It was in an odd sense, perfect.
"I love you with every ounce of my heart," I murmured into his neck. His head was bent over kissing my hand.
"I love you with every ounce of my existence," he replied lovingly. He set me down and went to find Emmett and left me in his room staring out the window. I only had a week until the wedding. It seemed to sneak up on me. Just like my graduation had.
I changed and made my way to Alice's room. I was surprised when I walked in. Her orderly room was in shambles. Books and magazines were strewn everywhere. "Alice?" I called a little worried about her sanity.
She had been standing in her closet with Jasper, her one and only love. I had no idea what they had been doing but my sense of wonder, was replaced by excitement. No doubt, Alice had warned Jasper of my difficulty being excited about today. There was no question towards anyone that I wasn't totally excited for the wedding. Jasper had a way of controlling people's
emotions. Like Alice who could see the future they were the only two who could use their gifts on me. Edward could not read my mind and the Volturi's guard's gifts had no effect on me.
"Okay let's get busy. I will see you later, Jasper" Alice said. She seemed extra happy. I couldn't tell if it was because she had just been with Jasper in the closet or if she was just excited to be planning the wedding.
"Okay, so what do you want to do first?" I asked.
"Well everybody will be arriving later this afternoon, so I want to just finalize some things and then you and Edward can have a couple of hours." She gave me a wink, which I didn't quite understand, "And then at 3:00 we are meeting everyone here."
"Okay that sounds… bearable." I said laughing.
Alice pulled out books on hairstyles, table landscapes, menu choices, and honeymoon spots. I braced myself for a long two hours.
When we finally had everything planned out and finalized Alice jokingly said, "I now release you from your bonds." It had been longer than two hours, but I didn't care. I got to go see Edward now.
I smiled and replied, "Thank you, Alice. You really are doing a great job. I couldn't have ever picked a better maid-of-honor." I really did mean it. I loved Alice, she was basically my sister. It was wonderful to see her so happy. But after being stuck in a room with her for more than two hours I couldn't help but be happy to be released. "I will see you at 3:00!" I jumped up and walked down stairs. Before I could turn the corner, I was ambushed.
I had expected it to be Edward, but was extremely surprised to find that it was Jessica and Angela.
"Oh my goodness, Bella, I am so happy I could fly!" Jessica had always been prone to the excessive sides of emotions. "This is just going to be great!"
I produced a smile and said, "I know isn't it wonderful. Alice can fill you in on everything. She is upstairs, Alice? Can you come downstairs?"
She replied in her musical, soprano voice, "Yes of course, one second."
She came barreling down the stairs and stopped at my side. She must have seen that we would have visitors. "Ahh, yes. Hello Jessica, Angela. Why don't you come upstairs and see all the plans… oh and of course, see your bridesmaid dresses." I had wanted a small wedding but Alice had insisted on at least some bridesmaids.
Edward came slinking around the corner. It looked like he had escaped from Emmett's grasp too. "Let's go somewhere," he said pulling me up to kiss him. "I don't care where, let's just go.
I smiled and whispered in his ear, "I know just the place."
Riding on his back was always exhilarating; as long as I kept my eyes firmly closed and held on for dear life. We have traveled this way many times and I was getting used to it but sometimes I still got sick. When we got to the meadow, it was amazingly beautiful as usual. He set me down and we walked out into the middle and laid down. The summer sun felt wonderful on my skin.
It was a rare day in Forks. The sun was shining and everything was normal. Well besides the fact that I was lying next to an insanely beautiful vampire in a meadow and his skin
was sparkling like the charm bracelet and the ring on my left hand. And the fact that I wasn't in some kind of trouble.
I had spent the last two years in Edward's company, well for the most part. But with his company came many dangers. James had tracked me to Phoenix and almost killed me. My scar still shimmered from where he bit me. I turned to look at it. It was glimmering just like Edward. I thought of the day when I would be completely covered in shimmering skin just like the scar and Edward. And I would be invincible.
James's mate Victoria had been hunting me last year. Edward had killed James, so Victoria thought that it was suitable that Edward's mate enjoy the same fate. That had been the latest controversy. But as always Edward and his family had taken care of that problem. And in between these problems had been the most depressing stage of my life. When Edward had left me…
It had been a horrible time for me. But Jacob Black, an old family friend, had helped me through that period. I was still missing Edward with every minute scrap of my existence. I had jumped off a cliff in an attempt to hear Edward's voice. Alice seeing this in the future, told Edward. Edward thinking I was dead then traveled to Italy to commit suicide at the hands of the Volturi. Thankfully, Alice and I had stopped him in time. But the time I spent with Jacob never left my heart.
Jacob turned out to be a werewolf. Crazy, huh? Well it seems that I'm attracted to all things fantasy. Anyway Jacob and his pack of wolves helped save me from Victoria's plan too. There was another problem. And not a small one either.
Jacob loved me. And in a way, I loved him too. But nowhere near how I loved Edward. That had proved to be a problem, but since the fight in June and since I had left him in his room, I hadn't spoken to him. Sometimes the silence between us bugged me. But I tried not to think about it. Besides, I had promised myself that Edward would never see me cry another tear for Jacob.
"What are you thinking about?" Edward asked?
"You know the usual." I replied with a grin. "How many times my life has been threatened. It's really what any girl thinks about when her wedding is a week away."
He laughed and kissed my neck right below my jaw. I rolled over on top of him and said, "I wish this moment could last forever."
He was silent for awhile and then he seriously replied, "Isn't that a song, you know, you could be sued for plagiarism.
"Oh, really?" I started tickling him.
"Bella, knock it off," he held me a foot above him. With a look of, 'you know I can't do that' on his face.
"Oh shoot," I had suddenly remembered that Charlie had asked me to come by before we went to the Cullen's for the party. I really didn't want to leave Edward, but I couldn't put it off. "What time is it?"
Edward pulled out his cell phone with a slight look of confusion on his face. "It is 2:30, why?"
"I promised Charlie I would come by before the party."
"What time did you promise to be there?" He had a kind of depressed look on his face, again, like he had plans of his own.
"I told him like 2:30, but I can be late. We don't have to be back to your house exactly at 3:00."
"Bella, I hate to burst your bubble, but Charlie would be… is going to be extremely disappointed that you couldn't be on time. And if you want to see Alice happy again we'd better leave."
In that one moment, Edward's phone rang. "Hello? Yes, Alice. No. Yes, we are still coming. It was just a little thought by Bella. Yes. Of course. Bye, Alice."
I had to laugh a little to myself. I was kind of funny listening to Edward's side of a phone call when Alice was mad. He picked me up and gently tossed me on his back and we were off towards my house. Well, I guess it was just Charlie's now. I had spent so much time at the Cullen's that most of my stuff was already there. That and Edward and I were probably going to move out soon anyway.
We got to Charlie's and Edward kissed me goodbye. "I will see you soon, love?"
I reached up and kissed him again. "Okay." I wandered up the front steps and into the house. Charlie was waiting there on the couch.
"Hey, how are you?" I asked as I slumped onto the couch beside him, giving him a hug.
"I'm okay, how about you?"
"Well, I'm alright. So what's up?"
"I still feel bad that I didn't get you a gift for your graduation, so I got you and engagement gift. Out of his left hand he pulled a little box.
"Oh, you shouldn't have!"
"Go ahead and open it sweetie."
I took the box from his hand and slowly opened it. It was a necklace and it was extremely beautiful. It was circular and gold. In a way it kind of resembled the ring that I wore on my left hand. Edward's ring. My ring.
"Dad, I absolutely love it."
"I am glad, honey. It took a long time for me to figure out what to get you. I was going to get you a charm for your bracelet, but I wanted something that would be just from me and not something that would take away the glory of Jacob's bracelet. So, I got you this. I thought it kind of looked like your ring, so I knew you would love it." He put the necklace on around my neck. It was a perfect fit. Of course.
I was amazed at his thoughtfulness. Out of the two years I had lived with Charlie, I hadn't really ever had this much thoughtfulness put into a gift, or anything else really. I gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I know you really don't like parties Dad, but I guess we should get this over with."
"Okay, sweetheart." We piled into the cruiser and went off to the party.
A/N- I hope you liked it. I have the next chapters written, but I would love to have some reviews!!
