The Brandon Mate-Edward Cullen

Fifteen

The day for Bella's birthday came, but Alice was the one excited about it. Clara on the other hand had a bad feeling, but she didn't see anything either. Edward walked in to see the dress she had picked out and walked over to her. He moved her long hair and kissed her cheek. "You know that it's not nice to come in here without telling me you are in here."

"Where's the fun in that?" He said as he turned her around. "What's bothering you, my love?"

"Something about today doesn't seem right." She tells him.

Edward pulled her closer to him and moved her hair out of the way. "Don't worry about it. Just think of this day as a wonderful day."

"Okay."

At school, Clara walked out of class with Edward coming up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. The two walked to her locker to see Bella and Alexis talking. "I don't think she's happy about today."

"She's not." Clara replies as she looked at Edward. "Bella was hoping to be turned, but instead, Alexis suck the venom out keeping her human."

"She wanted to be 17."

Clara nodded as she looked at Edward. "I don't see what her obsession is with turning. It's quite annoying."

Edward kissed her head. "It's the idea of being seventeen like Alexis." He tells her. "Let's not worry about it. We have to think about what's coming up."

Clara looked at him smiling. Their anniversary was coming up and she had something in mind. It wasn't a vision, but it was something she's been wanting to do with Edward. Something that she hopes they can do. Edward looked at Clara as he knew what she's been wanting thanks to Alice. The two watched Bella give Jasper a look causing them to shake their heads and go to class. "What's wrong with Clara?"

"She's not liking you asking me to turn you. It's something no human should want, but you are the first in a very long time that wants to turn." Alexis says.

Bella sighed as she only wants to be with Alexis. Clara froze in her spot causing Edward to grab her. She looked at Edward with a sad smile. "She's going to be like us."

"But Alexis is happy." He tells her causing her to look up at him.

"Yeah.'

After school, Edward held Clara in his arms as they looked at the mirror. "Clara, don't worry about this party." He tells her. "Just be happy that your sister accomplished something."

Clara laughed. "Bella is stubborn, but she used Jasper to get her to agree." She sighed. "I haven't seen anything."

"Maybe nothing won't happen." He tells her. "Relax, baby."

Clara turned around smiling. "I think I know how to relax, but we'll have to wait till this is all over." She tells him making him growl under his breath. "Oops."

"Tease."

Edward followed Clara as she headed downstairs. He grabbed her causing her to scream out as they got down to the others. He kissed her as Bella and Alexis walked down with Alice. Edward put Clara down and kissed her head as they started to watch. So far everything was okay, but Clara couldn't help, but worry.

"Clara, is something wrong?" Alexis asked.

"No." She tells her. "It's nothing."

Alexis nodded as she looked at Bella. To Clara, time stood still when Bella cut her finger. Edward moved her out of the way and over to Jasper. Clara looked to see Bella being thrown. She didn't know what to say. Edward looked at Clara as she looked at him. "I didn't see this." She tells him as he walked over to her. "I..."

"Come on." He said as he walked with her. "Let's go somewhere. You need to calm down."

Clara nodded as she walked away leaving behind a bleeding Bella and an upset Alexis.
