'Happy birthday Skye!'
My birthday has arrived. And as of now... I am a vampire. Last night, Friday night, my body froze and fell to the ground for the last time. The pain was as agonizing as ever, maybe even more so. To be honest it felt like all the previous times joined together in one big, scorching fire. But now it was all over, and I was as happy as I have ever been.
Emmett and I were sitting in my room talking when everybody, including Carlisle, his wife Esme, Alice, Jasper, Edward and Bella, barged into my room. They were all holding packages and smiling happily at me. This was the first time I saw them since last week, before my transformation had begun.
'Oh Skye you look great!' Alice cried, sitting on the other side of me. I don't know why she said this, I didn't look much different. My bronze hair had become a little darker and my eyes were brighter; but apart from that I looked the same.
'You guys are lucky Georgia and Gary are at work or they'll get suspicious.' I smiled.
When Georgia and Gary came back from their conference in Seattle, I told them about me and Emmett. They had both smirked and said, 'It's about time.'
'Oh forget about that, it's present time!' Bella said, pulling me off my bed, 'let's go into the lounge room. There's more room there, it's so cramped in here.'
We all migrated to the lounge room; I sat on the couch with Emmett on my right side. He had stayed reasonably quiet through all the chatter. He looked happy, nevertheless.
I looked around the lounge room, at my new... family you could say. Jasper was actually smiling, Alice looked like she was about to jump up and down with excitement and Bella and Edward both looked joyful, while Edward still continued to play with Bella's hair. I think it was an old habit. Between everybody there were three packages. But Emmett wasn't holding anything. I was currently holding the digital camera Georgia and Gary had bought for me.
'Open mine and Jaspers first!' Alice said eagerly, shoving the present in my lap. I laughed at her excitement; no matter how old she was I'll always consider her as a small child.
The package was light and bulky; it felt like it was made from fabric. A cushion maybe? I removed the wrapping from it, still smiling, and gasped when I saw what was inside.
It was a beautiful, short purple dress. It had spaghetti straps and the front was lined with black lace. I guessed the dress was made with satin, because it was reflecting the light and it almost slid down my lap onto the floor.
'Dyou like it?' Alice asked.
'It's beautiful!' I said happily, 'thanks Alice!'
'I'm glad you like it. I've always wanted to see you in a dress, and I thought this dress looked like you.'
'Hey I wear dresses!' I said, 'well... sometimes.'
'When was the last time you wore a dress?' Bella asked.
'Uhh... I think it was my year seven graduation.' I laughed. Everybody else laughed with me. Emmett still hadn't said anything yet. But again, he still looked happy.
'Our present now!' Bella said happily, handing a thin, square package to me. No doubt it was a CD. I removed the wrapping paper and revealed a CD I've been longing to have for as long as I can remember. A Slipknot CD. How did they know?
'Oh my god!' I said, 'how did you know I like Slipknot?'
'It went through your mind at one time last week.' Edward smiled. Oh right. Duh.
'I never thought I'd be able to ever find one of these. I mean, they were popular forty years ago. Thank you so much!' I said cheerfully.
'No problems.' Bella smiled.
'And here's our gift to you, Skye.' Esme said calmly, passing me a package.
It was quite small, and it was a box. I lifted the lid and found two silver hoop earrings, lined with small pieces of cubic zirconia. They were gorgeous.
'Wow, these are gorgeous!' I said, picking them up so everybody could see.
'I'm glad you like them.' Esme said, 'I picked them myself, since this guy here decided to work all week.' she motioned towards Carlisle, who smiled sheepishly.
'You're forgiven... for now.' I joked. I carefully put the earrings on, trying not to break them. I hadn't worn earrings in ages. I was surprised the holes hadn't closed up yet.
'They realty suit you.' Edward nodded. I smiled thanks.
'Go put the dress on!' Alice blurted. I smiled and rolled my eyes.
'Geeze you must be eager to see me in a dress.' I said.
'Who isn't? Now go!' Alice said, pointing towards my room. I sighed and picked up the dress. I gave Emmett a smile and walked up to my bedroom.
Before putting the dress on, I stayed silent to see what they were saying. What's wrong with a little eavesdropping? Okay, shutup.
'How cute is she?' Bella said, 'I think she's the only vampire who has ever blushed.'
I was blushing? I looked in my mirror. Yep, I was. Dammit.
'Yeah I know. Poor little thing, she's gone through so much this past week and she is still smiling.' Esme said. This made me blush more.
'She never stops smiling.' Jasper added.
'You're pretty quiet over there, Emmett. You okay?' Edward asked. I held my breath.
'I'm more than okay, Ed.' Emmett replied. Phew. He sounded very happy.
'Of course he is, Edward. It's about damn time you and Skye got together.' Alice said. So they were all waiting for it to happen, eh? Typical.
I stopped listening and got undressed. I looked at myself in the mirror for a second. Wow, even my body had changed this week. I was slimmer.
I put the dress on over my head. It fit perfectly, it wasn't too baggy or too tight. Although it could have been a little looser. That's Alice for you, though. Without bothering to look in the mirror again, I made my way back downstairs.
'Oh you look so sweet!' Bella said as soon as I entered the lounge room again. Alice, this time, did jump up and down from her seat. I think she was a little overexcited. Once again, that's Alice for you.
'She doesn't just look sweet! You look adorable!' she hollered, racing up to hug me. She's the only person who doesn't make me feel small.
'I do?' I asked.
'Of course you do.' Esme smiled. I smiled back.
'I never thought I'd see the day when Skye wore a dress.' Edward laughed to himself. I poked my tongue out at him. Had I really given them that impression?
I looked over at Emmett. He looked completely speechless. His eyes were wide and he was smirking.
'What dyou think, Emmett?' I asked, twirling around once for him to see. He didn't answer straight away.
'Oh I just remembered!' Alice said, 'we have to go to the... thing! Yeah... the thing with the... things!'
There was silence for a second. Then Bella said,
'Oh, yes right! That... thing. Come on everybody except Emmett. Let's go to the thing!'
Everybody joined in the act, saying 'Oh right!' and 'That's important!'
Within thirty seconds everybody had left through the front door. I laughed loudly.
'Those guys are legendary.' I said as somebody closed the front door. I didn't really see the point in them leaving, they were probably going to hear us anyway. Knowing them they'd probably sit at the front door to listen.
Emmett stayed silent, still looking at me with wide eyes. Why wasn't he talking?
'Emmett? You okay?' I asked, still standing up in front of him. This snapped him out of his trance. He nodded and smiled at me.
'I don't really know what to say.' he said, putting his arm around my shoulders.
'In a good way or a bad way?'
'What do you think?'
'Just making sure.' I grinned.
'You look amazing in that dress.' Emmett grinned, playing with the spaghetti straps.
'You think so?' I smiled back. I felt another blush coming on.
Emmett tilted my chin and kissed me softly. He paused and whispered against my lips,
'I know so.'
I giggled quietly and hugged his neck. When he put his arms around me I suddenly felt something around my neck. I paused and looked down.
'Oh, it's beautiful!' I cried.
A silver necklace had suddenly appeared around my neck. It was a thin chain, which sparkled in the light, and there was a small heart attached to the chain. I looked at it more closely and saw a word engraved upon the heart.
Forever...
If vampires could cry, I probably would have at that moment. I wasn't really the crying type as a human, so this was saying something. Emmett is so sweet! I love him!
'I wasn't sure what to get for you. Buying presents for the person you love most is pretty difficult.' Emmett smiled.
'I don't care what you get me, Emmett. As long as it's from you it's all that matters. But I think you got me the best present of all.' I said nicely, holding the heart with my thumb and index finger.
'I'm glad you like it.' Emmett grinned, leaning in to kiss me again. I let go of the Forever heart and played with Emmett's curly hair while he kissed me.
Emmett was perfect. Everything about him was just... perfect. The way his lips felt on mine, the way he joked with me, the presents he buys...
I wouldn't have cared if Emmett hadn't gotten me anything. All I want from him is... him. That's all I want. Because he was perfect.
'Question...' I said when we pulled away from our kiss, 'I took pictures of us before right...'
'Yeah...'
'Tell me... will they show up?' I joked.
Emmett laughed, 'That was so random,' he said, 'but yes, they will show up.'
'Good.' I pouted.
'Now I have a question...' Emmett started.
'Yah?'
'Do you promise to love me, forever?' he asked, taking my heart pendant in his hand.
I smiled at him, 'Of course I will, Emmett. I can't see myself with anybody else but you.'
'Good.' he pouted, mocking my previous pout. I playfully punched him in the arm.
'That's my Emmett.' I said, kissing him on the cheek.
Emmett took my hand and kissed me again. This time, more passionately. He then paused and whispered softly in my ear,
'That's my Skye.'
Did you like the ending? I haven't finished a story in a long, long time. I'll start the sequel soon. It's all over! *tear*
Until next time!
