Chapter 1: Presents

I wish my mom wouldn't make my family wake me up so early each morning. I love her and my dad. And Aunt Alice. She is my dad's adoptive sister. She is perfect. She is a lot like me as well. We both absolutely adore shopping and comparing outfits. The differences between us are that she is a vampire. You may think I would be scared to death of a vampire but not if you knew that my mom and dad were both vampires too. The rest of the Cullen's (my family) are vampires. I am half vampire and half human. My dad was vampire and my mom was human when they did it. My mom nearly died having me. I was too strong. Anyway back to reality for now. This is my life and I love it. As I ran downstairs at inhuman speed, I was thinking about Alice. The reason that I was thinking about her was because she is the person that organises my clothes every morning. Every day, when I go to school, I look stunning. All the boys look at me but I'm not interested in any of them. It's too dangerous. Whenever this subject comes up I immediately think of my dad. My dad dated my mom when she was human. The Volturi got involved and forced either dad or Alice to change mom. Dad didn't want it but Alice promised. Anyway after mom married dad, he changed her. I am 6 years old now and the best thing about it is that I can already drive.

How many 6 year olds do you see driving? It helps that I look about 18. I grow amazingly fast. Soon I will stop growing. No humans know about vampires. As I said earlier it's too dangerous.

As I got downstairs Alice shoved my coat on and pulled me out of the second storey window. This isn't at all dangerous as it may seem because our senses are a lot better than a humans. Our family hunts animals instead of humans. A lot of the myths that Hollywood makes up about vampires really is made-up. We don't burn in the sun. Carlisle started the 'animal instead of humans' diet. I love him very much but I wish I could be an exception to that rule. Not that I like killing people but human blood tastes so much better.

"Ness, you there. You look a bit out of it this morning" Alice remarked.

She can see the future. Well, sometimes. She can see vampires' futures' best because she is one. She can see humans' futures' alright because she was one but she can't see me or my best-friend, Jacob because she has never been one of us.

Jacob is a werewolf. I love him so much. Whenever I need something, he is always there for me.

I need to concentrate on hunting now so I can get ready for school.

I looked down from the tree I was sitting on. I saw a mountain lion below me searching for breakfast himself. I leapt down from where I was sitting and pounced. His screams abruptly shut off. I hid his dry carcass in the middle of a bush, just so I didn't scare a hiker if they came off the trail. I jumped down and sniffed. Alice was hunting south-east I guessed from the path her scent was on. I followed it and as I came past a group of trees, there she was sitting down, waiting for me. I wondered why.

"Come on Alice" I said to her. She jumped up and led me home. When I got home she sprinted ahead of me to put my clothes out. Usually my mom or Emmett would take me hunting but Mom, Dad and Emmett were on a hunting trip themselves. I sprinted up the stairs after her and there she was lying on my bed with my outfit next to her. She was over the 'depression' of earlier. I wondered what it was all about but she was grinning like a Cheshire cat now. I pulled my clothes on as fast as I could and sat next to her.

"Bella and Edward are back now, what shall I do next?" She muttered. I thought she was talking to me.

"Um.. What Alice?" I asked confused.

She looked up and I saw a small black device in her hands. A phone. Obviously. I was so dumb sometimes. I wondered what Aunt Alice was looking at me so weirdly for. She put the phone down and gestured for me to follow her. I went. She lead me out to the garage, which was shut. I was surprised. Uncle Emmett or Aunt Rosalie are normally there under a car. I was even more surprised to see my mom's Ferrari parked outside the garage.

"There is a present for you in the garage Nessie" Alice told me. I opened the garage door and saw my mom, my dad, grandpa Carlisle, Granny Esme, Aunt Rose, Uncle Em and Uncle Jazz (Jasper) standing beside a pink Aston Martin Vanquish.

"What's this?" I asked in astonishment

"It's your 7th Birthday present" My dad said. My mom laughed.

"I think your going to be the only 7-year-old who will drive" Mom told me.

I laughed. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was standing just a few feet away form the car of my dreams.

"You had better be off to school now Nessie" My dad said. I wondered whether he would let me drive it to school.

"Of course you can drive it to school. Why would we give it to you just in time for school if you couldn't drive it immediately?" He replied laughing. I touched his face and gave him the biggest, warmest, thank-you I could. I went round all my family members showing them this vision and giving them a kiss.

"Jake will be here when you come home from school" My mom told me with a hint of pleasure in her eyes. She and Jacob were best-friends as well. They always would be. He was mine to although sometimes I felt I loved him more than just a friend. I got in my new car, waved to my family and drove down the 3 mile drive before turning off onto the highway. It may of ben my imagination but I swear I saw a wolf version (black wolf) of Sam Uley behind a bush. It looked like he was nodding a good-morning to me.

Weird….
