A/N Ok so as we all know I am not the original writer of this story. I am simply taking over because she feels she can't continue the story. Props to call me your partner in crime for starting this awesome fanfics and letting me continue it. Hopefully you all like the story so I'll stop rambling now…Onward with the story

*Previously*

"Thank You!" Alice threw her arms around my waist. I laughed, and kissed her hair.

Outside, I was laughing. Inside, I was screaming.

This couldn't be good.

*Bella POV*

This past week has gone by in such a rush I can barely recall the events. School was the same. Facing Lauren the schools most annoying girl with her ever-so-faithful-followers. Mike being the same annoying stalker, only it's become worse, seeing as he tries to follow me to every class possible. My family is in an uproar about my birthday, which I a m reluctant to say is today. Alice, Esme, and Rosalie have all been going off about my party and how it will be big and full of people. I was putting up a brave face and going along with whatever Alice wanted, but truthfully I was dreading the whole event. Worst of all Alice had me making a grand entrance down the stairs, and I couldn't even walk properly with my cast so Edward was going to escort me down "To ensure I don't do a face plant and mess up my makeup" as Alice so kindly put it one day.

Now the day has arrived. It is 5:30 A.M. and I was in the hot shower rinsing the strawberry shampoo from my hair, while being held up by Alice, do to my blue cast.. Hurriedly I turned off the water and stepped out. Quickly I pulled on my warm fluffy blue robe Alice grabbed me and ran to her room…then the torture began. I sat in my usual chair and tried to fall asleep. It must have worked because I started awake and blinked my eyes open rapidly, causing Alice to whine.

"Bellaaaaaa! I was almost done! You smudged your mascara. I have to fix that now!" Alice huffed and whined irritatedly.

"Sorry." I mumbled as I tried to catch a peek in the mirror.

"Sorry sweetie you can't look." Rose said with a laugh as she stepped in front of me.

"Mooom!" I complained as I rolled my eyes, earning a laugh from her.

"Now it's time for the dress." Alice said with a squeal as she raced out of the room and back with a midnight blue dress in her hands within seconds. Of course I've gotten used to it, living with them for so long, and being different myself.

"Lift your arms up Bella." Rose said as she helped me stand up.

"Oh by the way I invited the Denali Coven to come…all of them… sorry." Alice said as she worked the dress down my body, fixing it so that it fit my body just right.

"Does that mean…she is coming?" I asked bitterly.

"Yes." Alice whispered.

"Sweetie don't let that thing ruin your party. I'll keep her away from Edward." Rose told me, giving me a knowing look that I didn't understand.

"Tanya will be on her best behavior as will Irina. You know the rest of them will be fine. I already saw things will go better than perfect." Alice explained with a mischievous grin.

"Okaaaay… I still don't like the spotlight…but…okay." I said warily as Alice finished dressing me up. She then did something that shocked me; she placed a delicate silver tiara on my head.

"You look beautiful." Mom (Rose) said.

"Thank you…now can I look?" I asked trying to lighten up the mood.

"Yes." Alice said excitedly as she turned me around carefully to look in the full length mirror.

"What do you think?" Mom asked me softly.

"Wow. Is it…is it really me?" I asked stunned.

"Yes it really is." Alice answered surprisingly softly.

I was wearing a midnight blue spaghetti strap dress that ended just above my knees. I wore a blue ballet flat on one foot seeing as I had a midnight blue cast on the other. I slowly looked up and saw my silver eyes. So different, so inhuman that my parents hadn't wanted me. Then the Cullen's came and gave me a home. I looked up and touched the silver tiara on my head; it matched my eyes, brightening the look of my eyes.

"Thank you" I whispered as my eyes began to tear up.

"Hey! No crying I don't need your makeup running." Alice said loudly as I blinked away the tears.

"Oh wow I can hear the guests arriving already." Mom said quickly.

"It's alright, Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle, and Esme are greeting them." Alice explained quickly.

"Wait where's Edward?" I asked as my heartbeat picked up a bit.

"In your room waiting for you." Mom explained with a smirk as my heartbeat went into double time.

"Oh." Was all I could say

"Oh! Rose you and me have to go downstairs and prep some things. Bella you go and wait in your room with Edward" Alice said with a slight grin as she said the last part.

"Okay." I said as I began to hobble to my room, only to find Edward leaning at the doorframe with a grin.

"I'll carry you or else we won't arrive at the party for 2 more days." Edward mocked as he scooped me up and ran right to my room within seconds.

"Edward!" I hissed angrily. Someone could have seen you.

"Nope!" I was moving too fast, he said with a laugh that had me melting…wait! Control yourself Bella.

"What has you thinking?" Edward chuckled as I snapped out of my mental argument.

"Hmmm…Nothing" I answer in a dazed thoughtful voice.

"Bellaaaa!" Edward groaned. I smirked, I knew it bothered him, not being able to read my mind, and then I had a bunch of powers that could whip his sorry butt any day.

"Yes?" I answered innocently.

"What were you thinking?" Edward asked again

"Oh nothing Edward." I answered with a sly smirk.

"Tell me." He barked, trying to force me into telling him.

"You did not just use that tone! I will raise up the dead and send them upon you! Ok you had better not make me mad. You should know what I am capable of!" I said quickly in an irritated tone.

Send her down- Alice thought towards Edward.

"Oh! Its time already? Edward! Please I'm begging! Don't let me fall!" I pleaded, eyes shining with worry.

"I've got you. I'm not leaving you at any point tonight. It's your party. I want you to be happy." Edward explained as he carefully lifted me towards the stairs.

"Don't let me fall." I said nervously. Pleadingly. This attitude was a change for me. I was usually the prankster, always joking and now I was nearly shaking with the fear of falling.

"I won't. I promise, I love you Bella." Edward whispered so quickly I nearly missed it.

"Now presenting Bella Cullen!" Alice said excitedly as everyone turned to the stairs to watch my entrance.

"Show time." Edward mumbled.

"Please." I whispered as Edward wrapped his arm around my waist.

Slowly I began to descend the stairs, Edward always at my side, supporting most of my weight. I heard all the thoughts from my guests. The thoughts ranged from jealousy, to being turned on, to happiness, to pure anger and hatred? Ah Tanya has arrived I thought as Edward hissed at Tanya's thoughts about me. Finally I reached the bottom of the steps and looked around me. Everyone I could imagine was here, watching me, everyone but my parents. I shook off the thought as Alice brought around the cake.

"Happy birthday Bella!" she chimed.

"Thank you." I murmured. Knowing she would hear me.

"Haaaaaaaaappy Birthday to you…" Alice began as everyone joined in singing to me, Emmett and Jasper the loudest of all.

"Edward! Jasper! Emmett! Stop singing so loudly." I hissed at them as they began singing louder.

"Make a wish Bella!" Alice said excitedly.

"Ok." I said as I closed my eyes and made a wish.

"Now it's cake time!" Alice said as she helped me cut the first slice, and she began handing them out. Now was my time for revenge. Who knew cake could be such a good idea to use as payback?
