|THE THREE FEMALES AND THE|
|SHOPS|

"Her curls were what created her look, her personality, her everything, but once straightened, she seemed to be different."

•°•°•

"You're serious?" Daniella glanced up at Rosalie warily, watching as the goddess-like woman plugged in her straightener. "There's a lot of hair to go through." Rosalie shook her head, a small smile growing on her lips. She knew it would take some time to rake through the teen's hair as she had hundreds of curly strands that were begging to be straightened, but she was up to the challenge. It was a dream that came up immediately after she met the girl to play around with her lion's main. It was thick, large, and beautiful. Her hands were shaking with anticipation.

Clicking her tongue, she dismissed Daniella's concerned questions for the woman. "Dear," she began, "as you've learned recently, we vampires are something unique in nature." Badly, she wanted to also let out the word horrifying or grim, or even vile, but for the sake of Daniella, she chose unique. The word could have so much meaning to it. "We don't get tired like humans or get lazy and slack off, well, actually, Edward does that a lot. Damn him" Daniella stifled a giggle at this. "So this will go by fast, maybe, I just recommend for once Alice realizes what we're doing, she'll make you her own personalized doll."

Furrowing her brows, Daniella sent a worrying look to the blond through the mirror. "I wish you and possible us the best of luck." Then Rosalie got to work. Making sure the straightener was ready with a quick spray of water, she took one piece and took a comb and brushed through, dragging the straightener in her hair. Daniella watched, humming softly as she felt she was being fancied up, like when she went to Homecoming just a few years ago. But now, it was a different feeling; a different taste, almost. It was processed to go through and as she saw a sneak peek of her hair, her mouth fell agape and she wanted to squeal when she saw how glowing she looked.

"You look beautiful, Dani." Rosalie complimented as she finished, putting the magical hair device pack on the counter before twirling Daniella's straightened locks. "Absolutely beautiful." Thanking her with a look of pure joy, the teenager bounced out of her seat to find the pixie-like Cullen entering the room with a haunting grin. Daniella physically gulped.

"We're going shopping!" Alice screeched before walking over to Daniella, her eyes sparkling as she played with her blond looks. "And my, my, do you look stunning. Oh, Emmett is going to be blown away!" Rosalie forced a smile as Alice went on about Daniella and Emmett. Sure, the girl loved Emmett still and he loved her, but that love is different now. They've broken up and moved on. He belongs to Daniella and well, Rosalie belongs to her own very special person.

Blushing lightly, Daniella stood up along the ladies. "A-A shopping trip sounds wonderful, actually. I just need to stop by my home and get-"

"We are paying for you, woman." Alice shook her head in disappointment for even the idea of Daniella paying for herself being brought up. This was her treat and if she dares see a wad of cash escape from Daniella's hands, she would toss it in the other direction. She wanted to make the girl look Devine for her love, well Alice made Emmett labeled as her love. In her vision, she knew the two would fall in love one day. "Now, go downstairs, grab your coat and mittens and hat, and sit your butt on that darn couch."

Like a mother's stern orders, Daniella nodded quickly and exited the room, leaving a Rosalie with a confused look and an Alice with a proud smirk. "As long as I've known you, I still get so confused by your actions."

"I was just born that way," Alice stuck her tongue out before dashing out of the room, this time using her vampire speed freely. The last immortal in the room sighed as she packed her things away, making sure everything was in its place before she followed Alice's actions. Once she arrived at the final step, she stopped as she watched Emmett stare at Daniella from the corner of the room, his eyes wide. But Daniella didn't notice as she tugging her mittens on.

"Now, someone looks like he's seen a fine piece of meat." Edward suddenly commented from behind Rose, earning a quick slap to his arm from Esme. "Edward, stop that," the mother of them scolded, before correcting his words. "He sees her like she's a fine piece of art."

Rosalie pulled on a small smile. "Yeah, he really does see her that way." Then she let her feet touch the floor as she made her way to Alice and Daniella. As she stood by them, Alice handing her winter coat to the girl, she watched from the corner of her eye as Emmett neared them. Once he was there by their side, he grew a nervous smile as Daniella focused her attention on him.

"Howdy," she greeted earning a roll of the eyes from Jasper Hale and a chuckle from Emmett. She watched as he took his finger, slowly bringing it up to poke at her head. "I like this look," Emmett said. Blushing once more that day, she thanked him through a whisper while everyone watched in silent joy, even Rosalie enjoyed the small moment. "You having curly or straight hair makes you still wild, Miss. Morgan. The straight hair, though, it shows a different side of you."

Daniella furrowed her brows. "How?"

Shrugging, Emmett decided on saying, "It makes you look dangerous." From the other side of the room, Jasper Hale snorted, "Jas?"

"Daniella may have a tough heart, but she could never be dangerous." Her heart fell at this and her lips fell into a pout. "But, with that hair, I have to say that it brings a different taste to you, miss. A more, fierce taste."

•°•°•

The sound of music filled the small shop as Daniella walked down the aisle, looking for something that stood out for her. Her hands made work as she skimmed through the clothes, seeing if she could finally find something as nothing drawled her attention to just grab it and sling it over her arm. "You haven't found one thing?" Alice peaked her head over the rack to stare into Daniella's blue eyes. "We've been in here for almost an hour!"

"Fashion takes time, actually, shopping overall takes time," Rosalie called out from a few feet away, sparring a glance at the two ladies. "Leave her be." With a shake of her head, Alice followed her words and continued on quietly and it wasn't until Daniella froze, that she lifted her head, wiping away her bangs.

"I think I actually finally found something." Pulling out the hanger, it was revealed that she found a skirt that had overalls connected to it and Alice beamed at the sight. "This will be amazing for once spring comes up!" Rosalie smirked as Alice dragged Daniella into the dressing room to try on her first find.

The girls were in there for minutes, their giggles echoing in the quiet shop along with the music that played softly. Grinning, Rosalie listened to them as she pulled out a pair of pants, slinging them on her arm. However, the bell ringing above the door made her amber eyes snap towards the person who entered the store, but her eyes widened in terror. She heard about him through school and later, Carlisle. There standing, looking around frantically with blown up, red eyes, was Andrew Raven.

"I suppose Carlisle spoke with you?" She whispered, glancing warily at the boy and making sure the cashier was out of sight. "We know things, Raven, we know lots of things." Through his nervousment, the green-haired boy cracked a quivering grin. "That sounds like something straight out of a movie, blondie." Rosalie hummed at this, her feet kicked in and soon she stood before the man, her boots making her almost as tall as him. She noticed how his red eyes pierced through her soul, the way his nose stood out a bit from his pale face, he would fumble with his lip ring, while his hand covered in various tattoos would play with the loops of his jeans. She studied him like an open book. "Yeah, I suppose so, but vampires also seem to be common in movies." Rearing back, his eyes widened slightly. "It's easy to tell, besides, carrying around a pair of those blood-red eyes will attract lots of people."

A small laugh escaped his throat before he eyed the woman, a peculiar look being sent towards her. "So, you're a vamp' too?" Like him, she let out a small laugh, but her's was colder; more disgusted. "Yeah, I am exactly that and it's a tough life." Twisting her lips into a frown and fixing the clothes that were laid across her sweater-clad arm, she questioned him. "Do you remember who turned you? Who changed you?"

Andrew really couldn't remember that night with everything that he had in him. All he could remember was a wall of raven hair, fangs that glistened under the moon's light, and his screams; the ones that echoed off the walls as Vernon slowly killed his body. Tearing his body into bits and pieces until suddenly he felt numb and he realized something was wrong. The things around him became more clear and magical-like. It couldn't be explained with words for how he saw the world, but as much as he admired it, he was terrified of it.

"I don't know who exactly changed me, but honestly whoever did, I don't know what to feel about them. They changed me into this thing that I had no clue existed." Raven explained, playing with the racks of clothes as the memories floated into his mind and the mind of Rosalie too. She tilted her head to the side like a young pup before shaking her head. "Our kind is hidden pretty well..." As she said that, Daniella exited the dressing room with a large grin, twirling on her feet as her skirt flared out. "Kind of, actually."

"She knows?" He mused, narrowing his eyes on the mortal before directing his attention to the Cullen. "About us? Vampires? She knows about vampires?" Laughing softly, Rosalie nodded her head. "Jesus..."

"It's a fun tale." Rosalie sang, holding her clothes tight her chest as her golden eyes landed on Andrew. "But I suppose it should be told another time, so-" walking closer to him, she slipped a piece of paper into his pocket. "-give me and my family a visit and not only will we tell you about the lovely Daniella Morgan, but we'll tell you how to live a different lifestyle." She looked back towards the changing room to find Daniella and Alice leaving with the skirt held in her hands. "I can tell you don't enjoy living the way you do with humans to see how we live and see what you think."

Then swiftly she turned on her heal and strutted towards the cash register where she was ready to check out and hopefully find the man in her home, seeing exactly how they lived their insane lives.
