Sweet 15! Izellah's Quincenera
Izellah's PoV
Only a few more days before I am finally 15 or 6 if you count in human years. I am a hybrid and the daughter of Nahuel and Sarah Black, grandaughter fo Renesmee and Jacob Black and so on. I am living in Praia de Pipa, Brasil since I was born though most of the time, I stayed on a Island where my grandparents and great grandparents live. I have two best friends Elizabeth or Eliza and Alexandra or Lexi. Eliza is the biological daughter of my great grandparents Edward and Bella Cullen. They also adopted Lexi when she was around 10 years old because her mermaid family abondanded her. Yep Lexi was a mermaid, she's a pure human now.
Since my father Nahuel is South American, obvioulsy I am too and that meant I have the privlege of celebrating my Quincenera. It’s a kind of initation into the Latin America community. As a child I enjoyed every moment my dad talked to us in spanish, even my mom talked to us in spanish. I inherited her ability to memorize things pretty fast ,although I'm not sure if it's just a vampire thing or not. My main ability is persuasion which is pretty useful against enemys or when I was a child.
''Izellah? Let's go mom and dad are already waiting for us.'' I heard my brother Jay shout from the stairs.
''Yeah I'm nearly finished just let me find some shoes that fit.'' I groaned searching for some shoes in my stuffed walk-in closet. My brother sighed.
''You have 5 minutes until we leave.'' Jay said and I could hear him walking downstairs. There is no way I could find shoes in 5 minutes! Never mind putting them onn.
"How about you go eat something and meet me at the shop with Aunt Alice afterwards?" I said with a exaggeration of sweetness in my voice.
"Izellah Bianca Neve this is for you not for us and I hardly think someone would mind if your shoes don't match with the rest of your outfit. Plus don't try using your ability, it won't work now carina , Bella and Nessie are here." My father said as he entered my room. I saw him standing there with his arms crossed over his chest.
"I thought they were meeting us at the store? Are Lexi and Eliza also here? " I asked him with a grin as I finally found the perfect shoes. I fished them out of my tower of shoes and put them on while I stood.
"No they're meeting us at the store. Bella said they needed to do something before, but they'll definitely be there. And as for Bella and Nessie.. Nessie insisted to come earlier, you know how she is." Dad chuckeld and it made me smile.
I love my grandparents to the moon and back. I was always looking forward to see my grandparents when we visited them on the island and so was my brother Jay. They spoilt us in every possible moment and I enjoyed it. Renesmee and Jacob Black are definitely the best grandparents out there and I'm proud to call myself a Black.
"Alright daddy i'm finished." I said using my childhood name for him. I walked towards him and he embraced me into a tight hug.
"I can't believe you're turning 15 in a few days princess. It seems like yesterday when I first held you in my arms and you returned to give me your adorable smile." Dad whispered into my ear and I squeezed his back in response.
"I will always be your princess papà and I'm only 15." I reassured him with a chuckle in the end.
"You may be my princess forever but someday you'll find your king and you'll be his queen. And trust me if he doesn't treat you like one..." he trailled off.
I laughed. "Dad don't worry I'll be careful in choosing my king. Besides I don't think Bash and I are going to get married anytime soon." I sighed pulling apart from my father. I could see he pressed his lips together.
Ups. Sebastian or Bash isn't the best choice in my father's eyes and he disliked him since day number one. Bash is the son of the royal family of France. I met Bash when I travelled through Europe. The only shadow above their family lies on Bash and his mother Diane. Diane was and still is the affair of King Henry, Bash's father. King Henry is still together with his wife Catherine and they have two sons Francis and Charles. Bash is the so callled 'Bastard' in the family although I don't see him like that. King Henry and Diane are true lovers whereas Henry and Queen Catherine aren't. Between Queen Catherine and King Henry is only hate and sometimes I ask myself why they're still together. Aside from all that Bash and I are together for almost 2 years and my father has still not accepted him.
"Come on dad. You need to accept him sooner or later. I love him and if he's the one, which I think he is I'm going to marry him in the future." I told him.
''He's the son of a royal family. A human family. Don't you think it will draw attention when everyone notices you don't age? They'll think you're a witch or another supernatural creature. I don't want Europe to hunt down my daughter.'' Dad sighed.
''Bash won't be King Dad, Francis will. I could go and live somewhere else with Bash and they won't notice.'' I reassured him. He had a torn expression on his face.
''I'll be careful daddy I promise.''
"I know you will. I just don't want you to rush things. Take your time, I needed decades before I found your mother and believe me I thought one of my exes was the one and only but she clearly wasn't. I just want you to be happy princess." He said, kissed my forehead.
I knew he was talking about Connie his ex who took his virginity. It happened before he met my mother and Connie was one of the main reasons he wanted to wait until he's married to my mom to have sex. Most people would think that's way too old fashioned but I think it's kind of sweet. The man who you love is willing to wait until you're officially bonded.
''I won't dad you know I can look out for myself. Besides he is a human who dies in a few decades and I'm going to live forever.'' I murmured sadly.
''Who knows , if he truly loves you he may choose the vampire life with you'' Dad said and shrugged. I could see he didn't like the idea of Bash being a vampire. I told Bash about our secret a few month ago and surprisingly he took it pretty well.
''We'll see what happens. I don't want to think into the future too much, I have many things to care and worry about right now for example choosing my quincenera dress!'' I squealed bouncing in excitement. Today is the day where I can finally choose my dress.
My dad laughed at me and together we walked downstairs to see my mom, my brother, my grandmother and great grandmother waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. My mom was laughing at something my grandmother just said. They all looked up when they saw me. My grandmom Renesmee spread her arms out and smiled.
I chuckeld and went to hug her and my great grandmother.
"Come on let's go!!" I said and walked out of the house. The wind was blowing and I could breathe in the fresh air. Our house is on the beach so we could go to the sea whenever we want.
We arrived at the store and I immediately ran in to find my two best friends. I expected them to be the first to greet me but they were no where in sight. The only person I saw was Alice who was talking to a woman behind the counter. She looked annoyed and stressed out by Alice. I put a hand over my mouth to surpress my laughter. Alice turned around.
''There you are! Do you know how long I waited for you? Timing is everything Ella. There are only a few days left before your quincenera and here you are standing in front of me without a dress and the store is about to close in an hour!'' Alice groaned and covered her face with her hands. She sat down on a seat behind her. I walked to the woman behind the counter.
''Excuse me? Is there any chance you could give us more than one hour? You won't regret it I promise.'' I said with a smile, using my ability. I heard my family chuckle from behind me.
''Yes of course sweetheart. Take all the time you need.'' The woman smiled at me.
''Sometimes I really wonder where she got the ability from.'' Jay mumbled as I turned around.
''It's probably from my father Joham who was pretty good in seducing womans and I think she got a bit from Nessie. She always gets want she wants'' Dad said laughing at the last part. My grandmother stuck her tongue out at him.
''Hey! Not always.. I'd say occasionally.'' Nessie replied to him.
''You did sweetheart but it's okay.'' Bella smiled and kissed her forehead. I felt someone tug on my arm and turned around to see impatient Alice.
''Come on! There are so many dresses you need to try.'' Alice said. We walked into the big hall where all kind of dresses were hanging on clothes racks. No one was following us.
''Why are the others not coming? I thought they wanted to see me in the different dresses.'' I pouted and curled my lips.
''You don't have to try many dresses because this one will be your quincenera dress.'' I heard the voice of my best friend Eliza.
She was standing on a podium with Lexi on her right side. In her hands was the most beautiful dress I've ever seen in my life. The dress was a plain pink but a perfect pink. Not too light not too dark. The dress looked exactly like in my imagination: A true dress for a princess. Tight at my upper body and fluffy and big down my hip. It was decorated with a few diamonds but not too many. It was perfect my dream quincenera dress.
''Omg guys this dress is perfect!!! You're right it's going to be my quincenera dress!.'' I squealed running , no jumping towards them. I pulled them into a hug and bounced in excitement.
''Seriously? Izellah Bianca Neve Black loves a dress that she didn't pick without any comments?''Eliza chuckeld.
''You're right that seems too good to be true.'' Lexi grinned. I rolled my eyes at both.
''You know me better than I do myself so why are you so surprised?'' I smiled and reached for their hands.
''I really don't want to interrupt this heart breaking moment girls, but we have to go! So many things need to be planned! Plus your parents are waiting to see the dress Ella.'' Alice told us while she walked into the direction of the store's corridor where my family was waiting.
''They haven't seen it already?'' I laughed.
''No they didn't. Well except Dad who probaly saw it in our minds, but other than him no. We wanted you to see the dress first.'' Eliza grinned at me.
Sometimes I wonder how I've been blessed with such an amazing family. They never fail to make my day and I can always count on them. The Cullen family is the true definition of Family. No one is left out no matter how many more generations are born.
''Let's go! I bet Sarah, Nessie and Bella are already dying to see the dress!'' Alice said and rushed to the door. Oh right I totally forgot they were all waiting to see me in the dress.
''Err shouldn't I be wearing the dress to show them how I look?'' I called out for Alice. She froze in her spot and turned around.
''How could I forget it?! This quincenera is making my head so confused!.'' Alice groaned. Eliza, Lexi and I all giggeld.
''It's ok Aunt Alice, besides I thought Alice Cullen loves challenges and will happily accept them?'' Eliza chuckeld. A smile spread across Alice' face.
''You're right. I can't believe a choosing a dress took my nerves.'' Alice laughed. Lexi handed me the dress and I quickly put it onn, not caring that others were in the room. I'm not shy to show my body in front of them, they've seen me naked plenty of times and visa versa. I stroked over the dress to feel and realize that this stunnig dress is mine.
''You really are a princess Ella, just look at you!'' Lexi squealed.
''I agree you're breathtaking!'' Eliza gasped. I grinned at them.
''Well thank you , it's all because of you guys.'' I told them while I waved over my dress. I heard Alice cough.
''And of course because of you. I can't thank you enough Aunt Alice!!'' I said. I went over to Alice and gave her a hug.
''Aww you're welcome sweetheart. Let's go and show how stunning Izellah Bianca Neve is!'' Alice laughed. I took her hand and we made our way to the shop's corridor with Eliza and Lexi following.
My parents,brother, grandparents and great-grandma were talking and laughing with each other. I saw that my grandpa Jacob has joined them as well as my grandmother's brother Eddie. Lexi and Eliza immediately went to greet their mother Bella and siblings. The attention was now on me. Everyone took in a breath and my brother's mouth hung open. Alice was smiling at me. I laughed at the scene. My mother looked as if she was about to cry.
''Sweetheart you look absolutely beautiful.'' My mom said as she walked up to me with her arms open. She pulled me into a tight hug.
''I agree carina, I have no words to discribe how beautfiul you look.'' Dad said as he wrapped his arms around me. I grinned.
''Product of two beautiful parents.'' I smiled at them. They each gave me a kiss on my cheeck and I giggeld.
''That means I'm beautiful.'' Jay joked. We laughed at him and enjoyed the rest of the day as a family.
3 days later- Day of the Quincenera
"Happy Birthday to you sleepy head." Eliza laughed while she and Lexi tried to get me awake.
''Come on Ella get up! Today is the day!'' The voice of Lexi woke me up. I opened my eyes to see them sitting at the edge of my bed, grinning at me.
''You should get up before Aunt Alice hears you're still in bed.'' Eliza laughed.
I groaned and forced myself to get up from the most comfortable place ever, my dear bed. I know Eliza is not sleeping anymore and even Lexi won't be able to sleep if she chooses the vampire life which I'm a hundred percent sure she will. She's a part of the family since 7 years now and that’s longer than I am. Even though she is adopted my great grandparents think of her as a daughter. They love her as much as they love Eliza, Renesmee and Eddie.
"Omg I'm 15!!" I squelaed so loud that Lexi had to close her ears with her hands. I muttered an 'ups' and Eliza chuckeld.
"You're parents and everyone else are making last preparations on the island." Eliza told me as I stood up.
"They're not here to gratulate me?" I raised my eyebrows and couldn't hide the dissappointment.
"They wanted to, but you have another visitor who is waiting for you. So get dressed!" Lexi smiled and pushed me toward my closet. I sighed snd quickly pulled on some casual clothes.
"Since when do you dress so quickly and casual?" Eliza laughed looking at my outfit.
"I have to change in an hour anyway." I shrugged and opened the door of my room. I expected Eliza and Lexi to follow me, but they didn't. They sat on my mind and talked about my new bed covers.
"You're not coming?" I asked them. They shook their heads.
"No he wants to speak with you alone" Lexi told me.
"Lexi!" Eliza scolded her sister. Lexi muttered an 'ups' and held a hand over her mouth.
Bash. It must be him. My parents and family are on the island and both of them would come downstairs with me if it's someone from the family. I'm actually surprised that he made it, considering he lives thousands of miles away. Even if he's just the bastard son, King Henry favors him over Prince Francis.
A huge grin spread across my face. I didn't hesitate and ran down the stairs in my hybrid speed. He was walking around the kitchen with flowers in his hands. He didn't notice me at first and just looked around the room while whistling to a song. I coughed to get his attention. He turned around and smiled. He walked over to me and immediately wrapped me in his arms.
"Happy Birthday love" Bash said. I giggled.
"I didn't expect you to be here." I told him as we pulled apart.
"I thought to surprise you plus I didn't want to miss you're quincenera." Bash smiled while she stroke my cheeck.
"That's sweet of you." I replied. Bash leaned down and kissed me.
I replied the kiss, but it felt wrong. Normally I would feel all the butterflies in my stomach when we kiss. It was different this time. Maybe because we haven't seen each other for a long time. We pulled apart after a few seconds.
"So.. are you alone?" I asked him after awhile. He shook his head.
"No my whole family is here. Well my father and Queen Catherine are somewhere in North America and my mother, Francis and Charles are here with me. I wanted to ask you if they could come today. Just like me they've never been at a quincenera." Bash answered. He looked me straight in the eye.
"Yes of course they can. I'm excited to meet them." I smiled. I didn't get the chance to meet anyone of the Bash's family.
There was a silence. I had no idea if it was just me, but it was an awkward silence. What the hell happened? I never felt this way before. We used to talk all day long with no awkwardness. I heard my two best friends enter the kitchen and exhaled. Thank god.
"Hey Bash do you mind if we take Izellah for awhile? My aunt wants her to get dressed now. The family has arrived sooner than she thought." Eliza asked and I raised my eyebrows. She shook her head.
"Yes I need to go back to the hotel before the quincenera starts." Bash told us and gave me a quick kiss on my cheeck.
"I'll see you there Izellah." He said and walked out of the house.
"Wow he was quick to leave." Lexi chuckeld.
"Did they really arrive sooner?" I said furrowing my eyebrow.
"Yes and they all came." Eliza grinned at me. I gasped.
"Like everyone? Even Pancrazio, Chantelle, Matthew, Lidiya.."
"Yes Ella everyone. And it's not far anyway. If something happenes they'll be able to return to Chicago and be the Volturi again." Lexi interrupted me.
Zio has moved the Volturi from Italy to Chicago to be closer to the family. We all missed them terriblly and everyone seemed happier with them being in the area. We could visit and see them more often.
"What are waiting for? I need to get ready!" I laughed. We stood up and ran to my room.
Eliza, Lexi and I arrived at the Isle Isabella where my quincenera is set. I couldn't believe how beautfiul they all decorated the Island. Thousand of pink flowers where distributed across the ground and some where hanging off the trees. The decoartion, tables etc where modern and had a Latin American touch. The first person to greet me was my brother.
"Happy Birthday my dear sister." Jay grinned and pulled me into a hug. I chuckeld.
"Thanks dear brother." I joked back.
He didn't completely pull apart, his right arm was still wrapped around me. Next where my parents, grandparents and the rest of my family. I was excited to see them all again and so were they. Everyone enjoyed being as a a whole family. Even the other children of my generation were here.
"Happy 15th Birthday Ella." Isla, the daughter of my Aunt Lauren said coming up to me with her twin Lily. I pulled them into a hug.
"Thanks girls. I didn't know you where all coming too." I told them.
It was the truth. I expected my mom's siblings and the older generations of the Cullen family to come but not my Generation. Many of them where starting to have their own family so I didn't expect them to come. For example my cousins Phoebe and Ashton had their own children by now. I couldn't see them so I guess they stayed home with their other parent.
"Happy Birthday Ella." Uncle Zac smirked as he came up to me with his wife Leah.
I needed to blink twice before I noticed the change. Aunt Leah was pregnant. She looked huge!
"You're pregnant" I squealed. None of the Cullen's thought Zac and Leah would get children in the future. They seemed perfectly happy without them.
"Yes never thought it would happen." Aunt Leah chuckeld. Uncle Zac wrapped one of his arms around his wife.
"Do you know what it is?" I asked.
"They're actually two. A boy and a girl." Uncle Zac smiled proudly at me.
"Aww another grandniece and nephew." Eliza grinned.
"And more grandchildren for me!" Grandma Nessie squealed.
"I thought you got used to it Nessie." Eddie chuckled at his sister.
"Yes..and no. It’s always exciting when a new grandchild is born. And it's the first from Zac and Leah." Grandma grinned at her son.
"Congratulations. I almost thought we would never get grandchildren from you." Grandpa Jake said as he greeted Zac and Leah.
"You thought the same with Sarah Jake." Grandma Nessie rolled her eyes.
"I was actually just sure with Will and Sophia." Grandpa Jake chuckeld and grandma slapped his arm. Uncle William ginned in response.
"Well we weren't planned so who knows maybe my parents would be without children now." Lily winked to her parents. Aunt Lauren and Nick just rolled their eyes at their daughter.
"No we wouldn't. We'd still have children but you two were just a little too early." Uncle Nick answered.
"Ok we have enough time to talk later, the quincenera needs to start!" Alice informed everyone and pulled me away.
She brought me to a room and walked away again. I thought she comes but my mother came back instead with the most beautiful necklace I've ever seen. She walked up to me and handed me the necklace.
"This is for you sweetheart. Grandma Bella gave it to me as I hit maturity and I want to give it to you. I know you're still 15 , but today is your initation in your father's culture." She explained and had tears in her eyes.
"Oh mom you don't have to. It’s yours." I replied.
"But I want you to have it. You can give it to your daughter when she's having her quincenera and so on." Mom smiled at me. I wrapped my arms around my mom and hugged her tightly.
"Okay everyone is ready for the dance." Alice said with a smile as she watched us. I sighed and pulled apart from my mom.
"You're ready princess?" My dad asked me as he came walking towards us. He gave my mom a quick kiss on her forehead and took my hand.
"So you're going to dance with your dad first instead of Jay. You will dance with your brother afterwards." Alice explained to me. I nodded.
I heard the music play. That was the sign to go out. I squeezed my dad's hand and we walked outside where everyone was already sitting on their seats. God, i never realized how big the Cullen family is. My dad and I stepped on the dancefloor and started to dance to a latin american song. We danced a simple walzer and I enjoyed the time with dad. After the father daughter dance it was time to dance with my brother. Eliza danced with her brother Eddie and Lexi danced with Bash. I smiled when I saw him. After the dance I walked towards Bash's table where is mother Diane and his half brothers were sitting. Bash joined my side soon after the dance ended.
"Mother, Francis and Charles this is Izellah. Izellah this are my brothers and my mother." Bash said waving in between. I couldn't help but to do a curtsy.
"Pleasure to meet you." I said.
"The pleasure is ours. Bash talked so much about you." Diane smiled at me.
My eyes fell on Prince Francis who was staring at me. He had beautiful eyes. They were a mixture of green and blue. He looked so handsome and..
Izellah Bianca Neve you have a boyfriend!
I don't know what is was, but something was pulling me to him and I couldn't take my eyes off him.
"Brother do you mind if I take her to a dance?" Prince Francis asked Bash, his eyes still on me.
"I think you should ask her." Bash replied.
"Of course how impolite of me. Would you like to dance with me?" Prince Francis asked. His smile revealed his perfect shaped and white teeth. Gosh even his teeth are beautfiul!
"I'd love to." I smiled and placed my hand in his. He lead me to the dance floor. I could see Eliza and Lexi grinning like a fool to us. I just rolled my eyes.
"Happy Birthday." He told me. Our bodies were now inches away from each other.
A spark of electricity ran through my body as we touched. he took in a sharp breath so I guess he felt the same.
"Thank you." I replied shyly.
"Did anyone tell you how beautfiul you look tonight?" Prince Francis whispered in my ear. I blushed.
"N-o than-ks." I stuttered.
What is he doing to me?
"So what do you like to do in your free time?" He asked after a while.
It seemed odd that a Prince would ask such a simple question. He seemed like a typical 16 year old teenager not like a someone who would take the throne of France in a few years.
"I love to hang out with my family and my friends. My passion is probably fashion." I chuckeld.
"You all seem like such a huge but still pretty close family." He said with an undertone that I didn't get.
"Yes we all care for each other. There is no one you can't trust and we'll help each other in every possible situation." I said truthfully. It was so easy to talk to Francis.
"So what do you do in your free time?" I asked him. He chuckeld.
"I love to ride on horsebacks. I read most of my free time." Francis shrugged.
"Do you have a lot of free time?"
"Not much. My father wants me to be with him most of the time when he's making decisions so I'll learn. Sometimes he even let's me decide." Francis told me. Even though I just know him for a few minutes, I felt as if I could tell him everything. I already trusted him.
Our bodies were touching and I could feel his breath on my neck. I couldn't discribe the feeling I got as we were so close.
"Mind if we steal Ella for a minute?" I heard Eliza ask. Francis dropped my hand and took a step back.
"Yes of course. It was a pleasure to dance with you." He smiled and walked back to his table. I turned around to see my best friends raising their eyebrows.
"What are you doing Ella? He's your boyfriend's brother." Lexi told me.
"I know. I don't know what just happened. I just.. I don't know." I sighed.
"Izellah can I talk to you for second?" Bash asked. I nodded and he lead me at the edge of the woods.
"What is it that you can't tell me woth my family around?" I raised my eyebrows.
"I want you to stay away from Francis."
"Why?"
"He's not good for you. You'll be one of his short time girlfriends. Believe me he's hurted many feelings." Bash growled.
Strange.. I felt as if he's telling the truth but lies at the same time. Francis doesn't seem like the type of boy who would play with a girls feeling. But then again we're all not royals.
''Why are you telling me this?''
''It's not what you think Bash. I'm your girfriend and he knows that.'' I reassured him.
''And do you?'' He asked.
''What do you mean? Of course I do.''
''Just.. stay away from him.'' Bash said and walked aways without any more words. I walked back inside confused over what Bash just told me.
I looked to Francis and could see him staring at me. I instantly felt the butterflies in my stomach.
No no no no!! I can't fall for my boyfriend's brother and the next King of France!
