Trapped in Twilight

Chapter 9 ~ Halloween

Mackenzie's POV

Yay! Two more days 'til Halloween! Boo yah!

"Guys!" I shout. "Someone's gotta take us shopping for clothes! We gotta dress like the Cullen's if we wanna pull this off!"

Everyone was upstairs at the moment, I wasn't; that spells "Left Out." Eventually, Maggie comes down, she's going to take me. I got into her car and she sped off onto the highway, which led to a very nice store.

"Alright, I think you know what the Cullen's wear and I know what the Denali's wear. The wolves usually wear normal stuff so that won't be a problem. Wanna go look for Denali or Cullen first?" Maggie asks me.

"Denali, it'll be faster, slower comes later."

"Well, makes sense. Let's go." She smiled.

We picked out nice tan fur coats for her and MyAnna with black fur boots. A nice light brown wool vest, a long sleeve black top and jeans for all of them; she got black fur boots as well.

For the Cullen's, we got a black leather jacket, brown top, skinny jeans and black leather boots for Kristen. A tan turtleneck, jeans and tan shoes for Rob. For Nikki, a black long sleeve shirt and a brown leather jacket with dark blue jeans with black leather boots. Kellen got a brown shirt with a loose black sweatshirt and jeans that hung over his tennis shoes. Elizabeth got tight black jeans (she'll flip) with a tan jean jacket, a black top and black leather boots. A black turtleneck, a black jacket, jeans and sneakers for Peter. A brown leather jacket, black top, (pretty much black for the rest of her outfit) for Ashley, and the same for Jackson; just more manly.

Lastly me (Booboo and Taylor are set, the wolves wear regular clothes. They got the easy part.) I got grey tights, a black mid-thigh skirt, a magenta top, a black leather jacket and boots and a purple scarf.

And, I guess I had to. I got Dakota a black cloak (custom by the way), a black tee, black jeans, and black ballet flats. She already had the necklace.

We also got the contacts for the adults and I.

"The Cullen's are going to die. Again." Maggie says, "You're outfit picking was spot on."

"Why thank you." I reply, a giggle also erupted from me.

When we got back home, everyone was bursting with excitement, well, expect Liz; not liking the the tight pants. The costume party at the high school will be fun!

•Skip to the party•

Kristen finished curling my hair, finishing my Renesmee look. Our contacts and makeup was perfect, thank you Lizzy.

We got into Rob's new Volvo and drove to the party which was pretty decent. Taylor signed us up for the contest while getting comments that he was 'Hot' and 'Totes Adorbs'. They got a pot of hurt courtesy of Nikki.

Ashley and Nikki (again) messed with their wigs, guessing they were uncomfortable? Elizabeth was downing some punch and the others were doing something else while I was standing around looking like an idiot.

"Um, Renesmee? Why aren't you in your costume."

I whirl around to find Rosalie looking at me, her eyes are darker shade of gold.

"Er.. Sorry Aunt Rose, I'll go change."

"Hurry, the contest is about to begin."

Rosalie walked off the way she came, chatting up her husband. Typical.... I think.

I stood there for a moment longer when the speakers let out an ear-piercing sound.

"Sorry." The principal said. "I thank you all for coming out here tonight, not many teens like Halloween anymore. So, without further ado, let's start the contest. First up, the Halls'."

They were dressed in extremely detailed Roman god outfits, the fake six-pack in one looked half broken through the fabric.

"Incredible! Next, the Johnson's."

This family looked nice to say the least, decked out in devils wear, horns and all. The little girl, probably in 1st grade, held a red trident type thing.

"Oh! One of my favorites. The Cullen's."

I had to see this. Like he read my mind, Rob lifted me on top of his shoulder to let me get a great view.

The Cullen's were dressed in what they died in, Nessie was wearing black, probably for a funeral. Alice had regular clothes on, explaining to the audience that this represented that you could die from natural things. Edward, dressed in a hospital dress, looked weary, exhausted, and wait for it ー sleepy. Best act ever! They walked off the stage, very confident.

"And the newbies. The Facinelli's."

We walked up the stage stairs, Rob holding me as if I was 5, and the crowd gasped; the Cullen's stiffened at the sight of Dakota, I could tell Emmett wanted to pounce. Kristen leaned onto Robert's free shoulder, my palm on her cheek. Nikki leaned away from Taylor and Booboo like they were a disease while Kellen held her in a bear hug. Ashley was had a pixie-like smile on her face, her arm high up with her hand touching Jackson's, whom twirled her around. Elizabeth had her arms crossed over her chest, Peter's hands intertwined with her own while glaring intensely at Dakota.

MyAnna, Casey and Maggie were away from the group, holding each other indicating they were sisters with an unbreakable bond. MyAnna looked at Robert longingly, and held back a glare for Kris.

Dakota on the other hand, was off by herself. Her chin held high, red eyes flashing in anger, her hair held in a bun and her face expressionless; no smile, no nothing. The necklace glimmered in the stage lights with her whole body hidden under the billowing black cloak.

"Wow, I must say, your costumes are impressive. Tell me, who thought up with this?"

"I did." I say proudly.

"And your name sweetheart?"

"Mackenzie."

"Well Miss Mackenzie, you sure do have an eye for the Cullen's fashion. Very well done."

And we were dismissed. The party began again, this time however, the suspense was killer; everyone needed to know who won! Everyone casted in their votes into the box.

About 30 minutes of drinking fruit punch, the principal spoke again.

"Ok! Everybody!" He shouted. "Thank you. The winners are...." Pause for suspense. "The Facinelli's! Come on up and take the trophy!"

I looked at my family (yes, family) and they nodded. Dakota walked up, her steps delicate and her voice now childlike.

"Thank you." The principal was taken back, yep, she was good.

"Er.. Your welcome."

"So, the party is over now?"

"Yes, it is."

"Pity." Dakota cocked her head slightly, a frown tugging on her lips. "And I thought I was going to have some fun tonight." With that, she walked off, the Cullen's jaws were tight and hatred burned into her; Dakota now had a slight curved mouth, which the Cullen's took as a shock; bet they now thought she was Jane, the real one.

We walked back to the car and Casey was the first to speak.

"That was brilliant D! You killed it!"

"Why thank you." Dakota took a small bow.

"Best. Halloween. Ever!" I shout. Everyone seemed to agree.
