Annabella Cullen

~Chapter twenty-three~ part 2 Disneyland

Disneyland was probably one of the most epic places I have been to in all my hybrid life. The rides were amazing and it was only the third day we were here. Aunt Alice drags Nessie, Jake, Seth, and I on all the rides she can set her eyes on. It was fun all the same, everything seemed huge compared to me.

     At the moment Aunt Alice and Seth were trying to urged me to go on California Screamin'. It was intimidating and I was honestly afraid that I would die if I were to even get near it. "Come on, Annie. I promise it won't kill you," Seth said, rubbing my back. I glanced at it again and cringed as the screams erupted from the ride.

     "Baby," Uncle Emmett said to me as he and Aunt Rose got through with their fast passes. "You know you don't want Emmett to continually call you a baby, right, Annie?" questioned Aunt Alice raising her eyebrows. "No, but...grr. Fine if I die, it's your fault," I said, stomping my foot immaturely. We took our fast passes and made our way around until we met up with the fast pass line. A couple people in front of us was Uncle Emmett and Aunt Rose. Uncle Emmett looked back at me and gave me thumbs up.

      I shook my head and listened to the ride as it counted down the launch. I shrunk down as it hit 1 and I heard the screams of the people that were on the ride.  Aunt Alice rubbed my back, try to reassure me, just as Seth squeezed my hand. Bending down some Seth whispered in my ear, "It's okay, Annie, I'll be with you every step of the way."

      I shook my head and slumped into Seth's warm body. The line moved forward, until we were only two sets of people away from where they line us up to go the ride. My insides were clenched and I was dreading the decision to go on the ride. After the ride took off again we were ushered forward, Seth kept his grip on my hand and led me to a center car. We waited until a car came back and the people's expressions were kind of priceless.

     Some people were actually crying, while others were laughing, and some were just expressionless. After they got off, Seth gently pushed me into the car and sat down beside me. "Just close your eyes, it'll be over in second," he told me. I shook my head and said, "Closing my eyes makes me feel everything amplified," I say, my body slightly quivering. "Sh, sh," he instructed. I sigh and after they checked to make sure that the handle bars were secure the ride jerked forward.

     I swear there was pee trickling down my leg. We waited a moment until the ride began to count down. I gripped onto the car and waited for the voice to hit 1. The ride lurched forward and I swore if I had eaten anything I'd be screwed. Everything was thrown forward inside my body. I screamed the whole ride, to me it was kind of fun, but a very scary ride. I could barley move my paralyzed legs as the ride came back into the station.

      After we were released from the ride, I sprinted to go find mom and dad. I soon spotted dad, hand-in-hand with mom. I didn't care if I snuck up on them, ran and wrapped my arms around dad's waist. "Whoa, hey Annie," he said, taking me around into his arms. "What's up kiddo? You look like you just saw Uncle Emmett in his underwear." That made me laugh, but I shook my head, "Aunt Alice and Seth made me go on a very scary roller coaster."

     "You lived, didn't you," he pointed out. I crossed my arms and pouted. "As stubborn as your mother, gah. Sorry, do you want me to whip them?" he said. I smiled again and after ruffling my hair he set me on my feet. Seth was running through the crowd and I could see a relief spread across his face as he saw me. "Dang it, Annabella! Don't scare me like that," he said, taking me into a hug. "You're the one who made me go on that death trap," I told him and playfully pushed him.

     "If you two want lunch, you'd better come with Edward and I," mom said, as they began to walk off. We walked quickly and soon caught up with them. We ended up meeting with Renesmee and Jacob at a food cart. I got just a plain hot dog, as did Nessie. The boys got like five loaded hot dogs. We found a bench to sit at and eat. Watching Seth and Jacob eat was probably the highlight of my day. They made a total mess, even offering Renesmee and I some. We shook our heads, not really interested in their mess of hot dogs.
