84Emmett Claus Comes To Town
It was Christmas Eve and Alice had us rushing around the House making sure everything was organized and perfect. The whole entire house was decorated, even all the trees coming up to the Driveway, were decorated in lights.
Tanya was already here helping us out. She said there was nothing else for her to do. Nessie, Jacob, and Seth arrived last night. Zafrina, Senna, and Kachiri came up this morning. Maggie, Siobham, and Liam arrived a little after the Amazons had. Everyone was getting along pretty well too. They were all happy to see Nessie without the big circumstance as last time. Although, not everyone came. Amun was still as stubborn as ever, which meant his mate wasn't going to come either. But, Benjamin being Benjamin was going to come whether Amun liked it or not, therefore Amun, his mate, and Tia should arrive shortly. We were still awaiting Eleazar, Carmen, Kate, and Garrett. Stephan and Vladimir should be coming too. But, I didn't put my hopes up for the two Romanian vampires.
Yesterday, Alice had all of us put up Christmas Decorations on the Danvers Mansion. Caleb was probably at Nicky's, while Mrs. Danvers was at a tea with the rest of the Mothers. It was a perfect time for Alice to do her magic. She already had a vision, therefore she just pointed her little hand where she wanted it to go and it was done. We finished in about 10 minutes with our vampire speed, strength, many hands, and Alice's vision sure did come in handy.
Reid P.O.V
It was around 3:00 when we all packed and squeezed into Tyler's Hummer. It was a little crammed with Tyler, Myself, Pogue, Caleb, and Mrs. D, but we all fit. We were heading to Skylar's house and were following the directions Alice gave Caleb. I didn't recognize the area, and I lived here my whole life!
"That's it! Pixie girl is trying to get us lost." I commented tired of the drive already.
"She said to turn here. Be patient, Reid." Caleb commented. Patient? Ha! We turned on what looked like a private road filled with trees, tress, and did I forget to mention more trees.
"So, who do you think decorated your house, Mrs. D?" Pogue asked. Oh, yeah! I forget about that! Last night, when Caleb went back home his Mother said when she arrived back the house was decorated. She at first thought we did it to surprise her. But, we told her it wasn't us, so we have a mysterious house decorator on our hands.
"I don't have a clue, but who ever did was mighty considerate." Mrs. D smiled. We soon started seeing trees decorated in lights. There was even what looked like large colored bulbs hanging down from the branches. I heard Mrs. D, gasp in surprise.
"Told ya to be patient, Reid." Caleb said grinning. I just ignored him, which made everyone else chuckle.
We followed the road and ended at a home that was filled with decorations. The home, I must say was beautiful. It had large windows, that made it seem very open and light. Of course, the sky was gray today, but still. It had what looked like 3 stories, but I couldn't be sure. Yep, this was the Cullen home. The garage door opened when we got closer to it, we parked inside.
It was packed with expensive cars. I saw a yellow Porsche, red jeep, the familiar silver Volvo, 2 Ferraris, Mercedes, Aston Martin Vanquish, amongst a bunch of other cars. In the opposite end I saw four Motorcycles. Pogue was gaping at the Bikes-they put his to shame. We found that the door that lead to the house was locked so we went around to the front.
We knocked on the door and it opened to reveal a very large boy or should I saw man. He had long black hair, very big, and resembled a wolf.
"Hey! Who are you?" The wolf man asked.
"Jake, be nice." Skylar squeezed beside the wolf man supposedly named Jake and smiled when she saw us. I was happy to see her.
"I am being nice." Jake grinned widely. Yep, resembled a wolf.
"Reid, Pogue, Tyler, Caleb, you came! Oh, hey Mrs. D!" Take that Pogue! She said my name first. Wait…why the hell should I care? I heard Mrs. D telling Skylar how beautiful she was and how much she had changed from the last time she saw her. Well, she sure did metamorphosis. Very finely, too.
I finally got a chance to see what she was wearing. Dark wash skinny jeans, a red strapless dress that went a little below her waist, and was wearing black high heels. She also had her hair down in curls. She looked gorgeous. I was interrupted in my thoughts when Skylar's beautiful voice spoke.
"Well, let's get you inside. I don't want you to freeze out here." She smiled at us. I couldn't help, but smirk back.
"It's not cold." Jake protested as Skylar shut the door.
"Not everyone can be as hot as a space heater, Jake." I heard her mutter.
"I knew it! You think I'm hot!" Jake grinned at her. What?!
"Yeah, I want you so bad, Jake." She rolled her eyes, "Sorry, but you're not my type." Ha ha! Take that wolf man!
"Sure, sure." He said waving her off. She rolled her eyes again.
"Let's go introduce you to everybody, shall we?" Skylar walked us through the house until she got to the living room. I was frozen in shock.
The whole entire room was filled with people who were all absolutely beautiful. Three of them scared the crap out of me though. They seemed so wild. They wore animal skins. Where the hell were they from?!
"Okay, Pogue, Caleb, Reid, Tyler, Evelyn, these are some of our friends. First off, this is Tanya, she is from Alaska. Maggie, Siobham, and Liam-they are from Ireland. Kachiri, Senna, and Zafrina-they are from the Amazon. And this is Jacob and Seth-they are from our home back in Washington. Everyone, this is Pogue, Caleb, Reid, Tyler, and Evelyn." Everyone gave us smiles and greetings. So those wild chicks were from the Amazon. That kind of explained the clothing, but wasn't there clothing stores in the Amazon?
"Guys, and Evelyn." Skylar smiled at Mrs. D, "I would like you to meet my family. This is my mom and dad: Esme and Carlisle. And these are my brothers and sisters."
"Hi! I'm Alice! Did you like the decorations on your house?!" She grinned at Caleb and Mrs. D. Whoa, she was a little too cheery.
"That was you?" Mrs. D asked in shock, but still happy.
"Mmm hmm. Everyone helped. I hope you liked it." The rest of the Cullens laughed. Was there an inside joke or something?
"Okay, Alice. You can talk about decorations later." Skylar told her.
"Oh, okay fine, but we are continuing our discussion later." We continued on with introductions. We already knew Edward, Jasper, Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie. It was the first time I met the parents, but who were the other two girls?
"This is my new sister, and Edward's mate: Bella." She politely smiled at us. Her eyes were different from the others though. They looked fake, like contacts. I just let it slide.
"It is a pleasure to meet you." She told us.
"This is Edward's little sister: Nessie." Bella looked sharply at Skylar. Huh?, "Oh, I mean Renesmee, sorry." Nessie or Rennesmee looked to be only sixteen years old, but she looked different then all the others. She had pale skin, yes, but not as pale. She also had beautiful chocolate brown eyes. Least to say, she was gorgeous. Edward glared at me. Why was he glaring? Oh, right-little sister. But, wait. I thought they were all adopted. As if he read my mind he answered the unspoken question.
"Nessie and I were separated from each other when we were younger. When I found out I had a little sister, I searched for her. She has been living with us since." Edward grinned at Nessie. She grinned back.
Later on, more people had arrived. A, well what looked like a family of four. I found out they were from Egypt. Why would you come here if you were from Egypt? I had no clue. Bella's Father and his girlfriend, Sue arrived after. Four other people arrived after that, apparently they are Tanya's family from Alaska. Then two others arrived. They reminded me of 2 versions of Dracula. Ha!
When they first arrived one of them greeted Skylar, as an "Hello, my little Darling." Their darling?! Skylar was my Darling! What is up with me today?! There must be something in this egg nog.
"Well, my beautiful Skylar," I heard the Dracula tell Skylar, I believe his name was Stephan. I decided to listen to their little conversation, "I believe you promised to show us your musical voice, am I correct?"
"Don't give them any ideas." I heard her mutter, but apparently I wasn't the only person listening.
"Why, Skylar. That is a wonderful idea!" the Red-headed Irish woman said. Her name was Maggie. After that, there was a chorus of yeses.
"Skylar, I didn't know you could sing? I knew you learned how to play the guitar, but not sing." Evelyn said. I saw that the rest of my brothers didn't know either. I heard Emmett snicker.
"Guitar?! That's it! She knows a bunch of things!" Emmett laughed. Skylar gave him a sharp look.
"We have taught her how to play the piano, violin, and drums; courtesy of Emmett." Alice piped up, "Rosalie and I taught her how to sing, while she already knew the guitar."
Evelyn, I, and my brothers were in shock. We didn't know any of that. Nobody else in the room seemed fazed though. Except Charlie and Sue.
"Oh, alright. But only if you go with me." Skylar sighed looking at Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, and Alice.
We all walked through the house and stopped outside a large glass window, that on the opposite side had drums, guitars, piano, violin, amongst other instruments. In the very front was a microphone. Skylar, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice entered through a side door and looked like they were discussing what song to choose.
"She never told me she could sing." Pogue told the four of us quietly, so the others would not hear, but it looked like they heard anyway, "When we were younger she never sang. Non the less in front of everybody. She had stage fright."
It looked while Pogue was talking they chose a song. Everyone quieted down from their conversations. Jasper started the beginning then, Skylar began to sing.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you.
What the-? Where did she learn that?!
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
(So brightly everywhere)
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
(Laughter fills the air)
And everyone is singing
(oh yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
(all i'm asking for)
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby.
Oh. My. Beautiful, God. She had such a beautiful voice. And the lyrics were so deep and truthful. Whoever she was singing about I wanted to beat the crap out of them for making her feel so sad. Did anyone else beside me listen to that song?!
I first looked at Caleb-eyes wide, mouth slightly open; it was kind of disturbing. Tyler-eyes wide, what the hell?! Baby-boy better stop giving Skylar googley eyes! Pogue-eyes wide, mouth hanging down to the ground, I bet if a fly flew down his throat he wouldn't even notice. Least to say, we were all shocked. I looked around at everyone else. Some had huge smiles, some were clapping appropriately, and…Dracula better stop staring at Skylar! Pale freak with the red eyes better BACK. THE. HELL. OFF!
Everyone started to move back to the Sitting area, but I saw Skylar stay behind and move back into the Music Room. Tanya went in after her. I broke away from the group and moved by the door to listen in to their conversation, but to still not be seen.
"Nice Song." Tanya commented.
"Thanks."
"Who was it about?" Skylar froze from what she was doing, "I knew it."
"Then, why ask?"
"Because I just wanted to be sure." Who was she talking about?
"You still haven't given up hope have you?" Tanya said after a moments pause. Skylar ignored her.
"I'm just asking you a question. But, I'm sorry to say, he is not coming back. He can't comeback, you know that." Skylar remand silent in her thoughts. Why can't he? Who the hell is this person?!
"What if he could? Then, what? I'm sure there must be some type of way." She seemed so desperate and vulnerable. I just wanted to pull her into my arms.
"Sweetie, there is no way. And, even if there was, it would be near to impossible."
"Near, being the key word."
"Okay, so maybe there was. If there was a way, do you know how many of us would have been saved. And, if there was a way, the Volturi would most likely know about it already. And if they knew, they sure as hell are doing a good job at keeping it to themselves. If word got out, there would be a huge uproar. So many of us already hate the Volturi, now if word got out…" Tanya's voice trailed. Who the hell was the Volturi? Word to what? Damn, I hate being left in the dark.
"Okay, you have a point." Skylar said defeated.
"Thank you." I heard Skylar sigh.
"Let's get back out there, before anybody notices we were gone."
"Yeah, then I can see Tyler again." Whoa. Tanya likes Tyler?! Go Baby-Boy!
Skylar laughed, "Okay, so you could see Tyler too." They hooked arms and started to move closer to the door. Time to bolt.
Skylar P.O.V
After I was finished being attached with compliments and praise on my singing-which I didn't see why? I mean, I just sung. What's the big deal?-But, I was told otherwise. Later on in the Evening we all sat down in the Living Room because Alice said she had a "surprise". And let me tell you, surprises from Alice, can be very scary. I looked around. Where's Emmett?
"Okay, well we have a…special guest and I hope you enjoy him, very much." Alice smiled and moved to the side revealing Emmett (in a Santa suit and white beard) come out of the Kitchen.
"Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas!" Emmett said in a booming voice while carrying a large white sack or his shoulder. He really did resemble Santa Clause. It was hilarious seeing Emmett in that. Everyone was laughing.
He sat down on the large unoccupied chair and patted his knee for Nessie to sit there. I thought it was really sweet for Emmett to do that. Even though Nessie looked sixteen she was only 6 years old.
"I'm Emmett Clause. Now what is your name little girl?" Emmett, no excuse me Emmett Clause asked. I could tell she was trying to hold back a laugh.
"Renesme." She giggled. I heard Evelyn go "Aww."
"Well, I have a present for you, Renesme. Now, Merry Christmas." He handed Nessie a present from the large sack.
"Thank you, Emmett." She couldn't hold back the laugh and smile any longer. She moved off his lap and sat down next to Jake.
"Now, 'Present Time'!" Emmett announced, "Here's one for you, you, and you." He started handing out presents to everyone in the room. By the time he finished his bag was empty and he sat down.
"Now, where's Emmett Clause's presents?" he started rubbing his hands together. I smirked.
"Didn't you know, Em? Emmett Clause doesn't receive presents he gives them out. He's supposed to be generous, not get any in return." I stated. Everyone laughed at Emmett's wide eyed expression.
"I don't get any presents?" He asked in disbelief.
"Nope."
"Well, screw Emmett Clause! I'm taking my gifts back!" He stole the gift from Nessie's hands. (She was the closest)
"Hey!" Nessie whined, "That is mine!"
"Not anymore." Emmett protested. Nessie began to sniffle. Uh oh. Emmett made the baby cry. No one makes the baby cry. He's in some deep **** now.
"Emmett, give it back!"
"Don't be such a jerk!"
"Look, you're making her cry!"
"You're getting coal, next Christmas!" We all turned to look at Alice, "What?"
"Fine." Emmett sighed dramatically, "Here." He held the gift out to Nessie, but when she went to grab it back he wouldn't let go.
"Emmett." I said, "Emmett, let go!" He finally let go.
"We were jus kidding anyways." Benjamin spoke.
"Yeah, here's your gift." Carmen said holding it out to Emmett, "But, only if you don't make her cry again." she warned.
"I won't" He promised, "Now gimme!"
"Oh my gosh. He's worst then the kids." I heard Rosalie say. How could I marry someone who acts like such a little kid?
"Because you love him." I muttered too lowly for the human ears to hear, but loud enough for her to hear. She smiled. I know. And it also helps that he is so good in-
"Okay, thank you. Too much information." I cut her off. I love Emmett and all, but I don't want to know that much about him. Rosalie smirked.
"Now, I want to open mine." Jake said. This should be fun. I turned sharply at Rosalie, but she blocked all thoughts of Jake's gift out of her mind. When he unwrapped it, it revealed a dog bowl.
"Thank you, Rosalie. It was very considerate of you." Jake said sarcastically.
"Oh, your welcome. I thought it was appropriate" Jake "humped". But, then he got an idea. Hey! This can be such a better object to throw at the Blonde Psychopath's head then that other bowl! Ha ha! Edward and I both saw a replay of when Jake threw the bowl at Rosalie's head and broke a part of the banister when it head her head. We both started laughing hysterically. Finally, something must have clicked in Rosalie's head because she became wide-eyed.
"You know what, Jake? I think I should return that and get you something else." She smiled sweetly at him.
"Nope. I like this one. It brings pure enjoyment." He pretended to practice throws to her head. She growled.
After the gifts were finished, the Sons and Evelyn decided it was late and they better get home. Charlie and Sue left later to their hotel room. It left all the rest of us. (Irish Coven, Egyptian, Romanian, Amazon, Jacon, Seth, Cullens, Nessie) Carlisle decided to have a toast. He filled champagne glasses with animal blood. Now the animal blood might not be as appetizing as human blood to all of the human-drinkers, but it still had that same sweet taste.
"I would like to have a toast to everyone who helped us keep our Nessie. Even if not everyone could join us today, we all thank you for your generousity and we are all eternally grateful." Everyone clanked glasses and devoured them in one gulp. Except Jacob and Seth. (They had red dyed Coca Cola; courtesy of Alice)
This was one Christmas to remember. It should go down in the books. A house filled with 21 Blood-sucking Vampires, 7 Humans (4, I think are witches), and 2 werevolves. It should go down in History!
