Chapter 18

Alec pulled me into a long hug before we went downstairs to the ball. He knew i was very nervous about seeing all of the Cullens again. I had my hair softly curled to my waist and a short silver dress that hugged my body and had dark silver beads on the bodice with ruffled roses on the bottom ending at midtheigh. I had carefullydone my make up with a tiny bit of mascara and a smoky eye look to brighten my red eyes.

"You ready love?" He asked me looking at me to make sure i wasnt lying to him about being ready. I smiled at him and kissed him on the lips.

"Now i am" He took my hand firmly and together we flew down the steps and began to greet our guest.

Everything had been going perfectly and there was no sign of 'them'. Untill the double doors opened grandly and in stepped eight vampires along with a disgusting smelling wherwolve. Carlisle and Esme entered first flanked by Alice and Edward whom where holding hands beside Jenny and Jasper whom where also holding hands, Emmet and Rosalie followed soon after along with a sheepish looking Lizzie whom was holding hands with none other than Jacob Black.

I was next to Jacob in less than a second, unlike the others Jacob had always been there for me even when things got tough for him and i hadnt seen him in about four years now.

"Jacob!" I squealed flinging myself at him.

"BELLA?" He yelled pulling me up into a bear hug we stayed hugging for several minutes untill the gasps died down. I pulled back and he froze looking at me in horror my blood red eyes must be scaring him a bit. I gigled and changed my eyes back to the natural brown he was used too then the blue that they had turned when i found my powers and finally back to blood red how i liked to keep them.

"Oh, so you dont drink from err...humans then?" He asked scratching his neck.

"No, I would never, Jacob Black!" I said punching him playfully on the arm.

"Oh, sure sure, iv missed you Bells." He kissed my forehead and i faced forward looking at the Cullens.

"Hey" I said simply with a smal curtsy. Alice was looking at me with a lonley look on her face and Edward was holding her hand, he smiled at me lightly and i nodded in return. Jenny and Jasper where also holding hands. Jasper looked me up and down and licked his lips projecting his lust, i grimanced and smiled at Jenny. Esme and Carlilse smiled at me waving and Lizzie gave me a small hug.
