Bewitching hour chapter 1-2

I don't own Twilight, Stephenie Meyer does. My first Fan-Fiction

Chapter 1: It

I was running away from It. I didn't know what it was but I knew I was terrified.

I stopped briefly and took in my surroundings: tall oak trees towered over me, it's branches stretched long and high over the midnight sky so there was only darkness. I realised I was in our usual forest, the one where my family and I hunt. I suddenly started running again because I heard It behind me. I was running at top speed, the way my father had taught me, but It was still gaining on me.
What kind of creature is able to nearly outrun the daughter of the fastest vampire out there? Unless It was a vampire too?

I shivered at the idea. But if it was a vampire then why was it coming me? I was half-vampire after all. I lost my train of thought when I heard It start growling at me. I didn't turn around but kept running, the forest racing past my eyes. I must have been going over 100mph but yet It was still behind me. All of a sudden I didn't hear It's rapid footsteps behind me. The creature had leapt off the wet grass and was flying past my head, ready to pounce like a cheetah on its prey. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to begin-

"Good morning sleepy head!" my mother's voice rang like bells. I forced myself to open my eyes.
The scenery had changed, I was in my bedroom that was bright with light shining from the window above my bed. My mother Bella was sitting at the edge of my bed beaming.

"Are you going to stay in bed all day or celebrate your birthday?" she asked teasing me.
I quickly sat up in bed. I glanced at the calender on the left side of my wall. It was true! It was the 10th of September. I then looked at the clock: 6am.

"Why didn't you wake me at midnight?" I demanded. "I just lost 6 hours to celebrate!" And maybe I wouldn't have had that dream too, I thought.
Bella suddenly looked like she was going to cry. I felt so upset of doing that to my mother, watching her beautiful pale face turn into a a frown, her golden eyes looked guilty. Hadn't I caused enough trouble already when she conceived me, or rather me conceiving myself?

I pressed my hand against her cool cheek. My talent was that I could show anyone (werewolves, vampires, humans) what I was thinking by putting my hand to their face (I had now learned to project it to their arms) . I showed my mother how sorry I felt for being rude.

"I'm sorry, too, sweetie," Bella apologised. "Jacob wanted to celebrate with you and you wouldn't want him not to get his sleep, would you?"
I sighed. I'd forgotten about Jacob and that he needed to sleep. How could I have forgotten about someone I loved so much?

"Is dad here?" I asked, remembering my nightmare.

"No, sweetie, he just went hunting for a while with Uncle Emmett and Uncle Jasper," Bella answered. "Now why don't you get dressed then come down for breakfast." She left the room smiling at me and winked before she left.

I let out a deep breathe in relief. If my father Edward had been here he would have heard my thoughts and known about my dream. He tries to respect my privacy but he's still just a overprotective dad.

Although, he was very sweet and was even going to allow me to go to school. I grinned at the memory. My grandfather, Dr Carlisle Cullen, had found a medicine that could slow down my growing. I had to take the medicine 5 times a day to grow at the average rate of a human. It was very odd that yet I was only 6 I looked 16 years old. But thankfully this meant I got to start 10th grade tomorrow - Monday 11th of September. I would be a sophomore. and the oldest in my class.

Quickly, I showered and changed. I nearly burst into song when I opened my closet. The first thing I saw was a casual red dress that looked amazing. And it came with matching designer shoes and accessories. Obviously Aunt Alice had been here and this was my present (or just a part of it). I put it on and curled my hair quickly, burning myself in the process - but being half-vampire it didn't hurt - and darted downstairs to the kitchen.
As soon as I stepped foot in the kitchen Bella rushed over and covered my eyes.

"Mom!" I moaned. She just laughed and said, "What do you smell?"
I sighed and played along. I inhaled deeply through my nose and noticed the delicious scents. They weren't the kind of smell you get from flowers or candles, what I smelt was human food.

"Um... pancakes with a lot of... chocolate syrup. And whipped cream?" I asked. Bella said yes. "And eggs, all different types. Scrambled, sunny-side up, boiled... and omelets. Banana muffins, blueberry muffins...." I wrinkled my nose. "Is that dog I smell?"
Bella giggled again and released me. Sure enough everything I had smelt was there on the dining table, and more. I recognised the dog smell belonging to Jacob who sat grinning ear to ear at the table.

"Jacob!" I jumped for joy and ran over to hug him.

"Happy Birthday Nessie!" Jacob replied squeezing me into a tight embrace. Though he was sitting he was still much taller than me and had to lean down to peck me on the cheek. Blood ran to my pale cheeks making me blush out of embarrassment.

"Careful, Nessie, you'll crush me," he teased me as I let go of him. "So I got your present-"

"But you can't see it yet," Bella interrupted. She raised an eyebrow at Jake. "We agreed she'd open it at the party."

"Awww. Come on mom!" I complained. She laughed, "If you see it now then you'll want to use it and then you won't have time to go shopping..."

"We're going shopping?" I interrupted, very eager. "Where?"

"Depends on your Aunt Alice."

As if by magic Alice danced in, her pixie face smiling at me, her cropped hair flying all over the place.
"Someone call?" she giggled. "We will go where I say so. It could be New York or Chicago or Boston. Maybe even Europe."

"Not Italy," both Bella and Jacob said. I shivered at the thought of being even that close to Volterra or "Them".

"Of course not," Alice reassured. "Try to persuade your mom to come along, will you? She's already worn that outfit before." She jerked at my mother wearing her normal outfit of jeans and a t-shirt. I laughed. Alice tried to never let us wear the same thing twice; that's why my closet was huge and full of clothes I haven't even touched I looked like my mom I didn't have much of her personality. I absolutely adored all my clothes and loved dressing-up. Bella, on the other hand, tried not to dress-up whenever possible.

"Aren't you going to eat Renesmee?" Bella said changing the subject. "Or Jacob will end up eating it all."
Sure enough Jacob had started wolfing (as he is one) down his plate. I rolled my eyes and started eating breakfast too. It deeply satisfied my half-human side. My family tried very hard to make me like human food rather than blood. They had succeeded for a while until Bella made me try broccoli.

Alice and Bella started chatting in the kitchen, whilst I ate, about maybe taking me to Paris. Alice, being the fastest swimmer, said she would help me travel past the French border. Good thing vampires didn't need to breath. Jacob locked my hand with his, his warm touch making me swoon. I grinned at him; today was going to be a good day.

Chapter 2: Presents

I lay exhausted in the back of the silver Volvo, my dad speeding through the town Forks. The shopping trip had been amazing. Alice had gotten my grandma Esme and Aunt Rosalie to come, along with my mother!

Alice had taken advantage of this opportunity by making Bella try on nearly every item in every store (as many as you can fit into 6 hours) and buying everything that fit.
She had also gotten me thousands of outfits for school. She was going to buy me more from New York but I told her that I would look a little too spoiled if I wore all that to school.

I had changed in another dress. This one was pink and fitted perfectly and everyone had complemented on my make-up that Aunt Rosalie had done for me.

I gazed out of the window at the town whizzing by. Edward like to drive very fast, as in over 80mph (which he considered very slow.

I felt the car slowing and recognised the red brick house and the familiar tall gentleman. Before Edward could stop the brake I jumped out of the car and into Jacob's waiting arms.
"I've missed you," I mumbled into his chest as I hugged him tight.

"You've only been gone around 6 hours. How are you going to survive your first day of school?" Jacob joked.

"Whatever."

"Renesmee?" Bella interrupted. I jumped away from Jake. My parents may approve of Jacob but that didn't mean I wasn't embarrassed whenever he hugged me in front of them.
"Next time please wait until I stop the car to get out?" Edward said. "I'll see you two down at La Push." He and Bella walked hand in hand down to the beach.

"Do you want to see your present now?" Jacob asked.
I nodded eagerly. He took my hand and took me into his red-bricked house. I had been to his house many times for dinner with him and the two packs. Jacob was the Alpha of one of the packs and Leah Clearwater was second-in-command. Her little brother Seth was third-in-command because he was very loyal to Jacob. Sam Uley is the Alpha of the other pack. He at first terrified me when I found out he wanted to kill me and my mother and my dad's whole family because they thought I was some kind of monster. Jacob then left his pack to protect Bella because they were best friends. Seth and Leah joined him. Since I found out I always looked up to Jacob for protecting me and mom. Of course Sam had apologised when he found out that Jacob had imprinted me and I was defiantly not dangerous. Jacob lead me past the kitchen and dining room to the living room. There on the old grey sofa was a gleaming guitar.

"Well?" Jacob asked expectantly.

I couldn't speak, I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I'd seen. I had always wanted my own instrument. Edward was amazing at playing the piano and I always wanted to harmonise with with.

"Nessie?"

"I....Iove it!" I said overjoyed. "I love you." I locked my arms around him (having to tiptoe and stretch) in a tight embrace.

"I love you too," he whispered and picked me up and swung me around. I wanted this moment to last forever but eventually he put me down.

"They'll be waiting for us at the party," he told me. I sighed, picked up my guitar and went down to the beach.

Everyone was there, Jacob' father Billy, the packs, Sam's wife Emily, Seth and Leah's mother Sue, Edward's adoptive father Carlisle and mother Esme, Aunt Rosalie wrinkling her nose at the stink of wet dog, her husband Uncle Emmett, Aunt Alice cheerful as ever, her husband Uncle Jasper, and of course my mom Bella looking dazzling and my dad Edward grinning at me.

Charlie was there too of course. My grandfather from my mom's side. He was a human so he couldn't know about vampires or else he would be in grave danger so Carlisle had told him I suffer from a rare disease that makes me age faster than others but they are close to stopping it. Charlie had believed it. He was suspicious of how his daughter Bella and her husband's family never seemed to age so Carlisle had lied again and said we caught the disease but they aged very slowly. Charlie had believed it again as Carlisle was a successful doctor and was upset to find out that they had been quarantined and it could no longer spread. He mumbled saying he wished he didn't have to age too.

Sue and Charlie were holding hands happy as ever. They had recently gotten married. The mother of a werewolf and father of a vampire. Who would have thought?

They all hugged me and sang happy birthday to me as the cake was brought out. It had been made out of delicious chocolate and was covered in thick icing. Made personally by Edward. He had made two more for everyone as the wolves like to eat a lot.

As I blew out my candles I thought to myself how lucky I was to be there with my family.

After we had eaten every single piece of cake and lunch (the wolves kept going back for more) it was 5pm and they had started a bonfire that lit up the dark sky. It reminded me a little of my dream but the stars were out, the moon was shining and I was on cloud nine. "Present time!" Edward told me rushing me over to the huge picnic table covered with wrapped presents.

"Where's your one?" I asked him looking over the labels.

"You can't exactly wrap our one sweetie," Bella told me. "Now be glad I helped him pick it. At first he wanted to give you my 'before' car I had to use while we were engaged."

"You got me a car?" I squeaked. My very own car; I would be the first one in the sophomore year to get one. I was grateful Bella had helped. I remembered seeing her 'before' car years back. Edward had given it to her because he was really worried something might happen to her because it seemed trouble was drawn to her. The 'before' car had missle-proof windows and heavy body armour.
"You're 'legal' now, right? And you need a way to get to school," Edward grinned. I hugged him and mom tight.

"Thank you soooooo much!" I said joyfully. Bella kissed me on the forehead in return.

I opened the rest of my presents: I had gotten a laptop from Esme, A collection of books from Carlisle, an entertainment unit from Emmett and Rosalie (already plugged into my room), another gift from Alice and Jasper - a cellphone, an ipod from Charlie and Sue and a book on myths from Sam's pack.

I started to drift of whilst holding Jacb's hand and 'showing' him what I was thinking. Next thing I knew I was back in the silver Volvo, Mom and Dad at the front driving home.

"Go back to sleep, sweetie," Bella said in a sooth tone. "You've got a big day ahead of you."
