Chapter 1

BELLA

The dawn broke out from the horizon almost as soon as I had opened the curtains. I stared at it for a minute taking in the scene of the coming morning. My eyes neither squinted nor hurt looking into the strong light. Not as they should. I wasn't exactly human after all and, like any human, I would have been completely blind by now. Vampires like me were fortunate of avoiding such inconveniences.

It was hard to believe that I had only been a vampire for little more then a year now. I figure, after everything that had taken place after my transformation, it made it hard to really take in the deep aspect of it all. When the Volturi left that day, when me and my family had been so close to death and had missed it only by a small margin, things became quiet, almost peaceful.

I let out a deep sigh. Not out of stress, but out of content. A happy sigh. I wondered how many of those I had ever let out in my life time as a human. I realize not nearly as many as I did now.

I drew away from the curtain and headed to my daughters room. Renesmee (still couldn't get use to calling her by her so-called nickname, "Nessi") was curled up in a ball in the middle of her bed, a blanket wrapped around her.

"Renesmee," I cooed softly, nudging at her shoulder to get her to wake up. Renesmee fidgeted in her sleep then opened her eyes slowly. She gave me one of her beautiful full toothed smiles and stretched out her arms towards me. I pulled her into my arms along with the blanket still wrapped around her.

"Where is father?" She mumbled, sleep still in her eyes.

"He's already at the house, we're going to meet him there," I told her as we walked out into the living area. Without saying anything Renesmee stretch out her left hand and put it on the side of my face. I smiled. Visions of last night started to flow there way through my mind. Me, Renesmee and Edward here at the cottage, our safe little haven, curled up together on the couch listening to the rain that had fallen last night, Edward singing my lullaby to us both. Even though I knew we had forever, every single moment with them was a moment I would never take for granted.

As soon as I closed the door to the cottage, I raced off, Renesmee in my arms. We flew through the forest dodging the trees left and right. I could tell Renesmee was excited to go to the house. It had been awhile since we had made a visit to our nearby relatives. Ever since the day the Volturi left us alone, me and Edward had been, for the most part, taking advantage of our family time with only the three of us at the cottage. We phoned the other Cullens from time to time, to update on Renesmee's growth and of course Jacob visited regularly to see her. It was Alice, however who had asked us to come by the house today. For whatever reason, we didn't ask. There was never an excuse not to see them and I suddenly realized how much I had began to miss them. I sped up a little faster in my anticipation.

As the house grew closer I could see a throng of people waiting for me by the river side. I recognized them all at once. Alice grinned happily, waving at me, Jasper by her side. Rosalie smiled lightly my way, with an enthusiastic Emmett beside her. Esme and Carlisle stood nearby smiling at me as well. Behind them stood Jacob, as tall as ever, his arms crossed smiling as well, possibly more for Renesmee than for me.

My heart gave its usual jolt as my eyes finally landed on my husband. Edward stood tall and proud as he saw me come closer. His beautiful face never ceased to enchant and amaze me. His smile was the one I looked for the most and as I drew near I smiled back.

"Morning beautiful" He said coming to me and kissing me. He looked down at Renesmee and kissed her on the forehead.

"Sleep well love?" He combed back her hair to better see her face. Renesmee smiled and nodded than placed her palm on the side of his face. Edward did not look surprised when she did this; it had become very natural to us both now. He smiled and chuckled softly when Renesmee showed him her dreams. Most likely about both of us, a very common theme in most of the ones she had.

Everyone came near than. I hugged and greeted them all. Warm embracing hugs from Rosalie, Esme and Carlisle and more excited, harder hugs from Alice and Emmett. Jacob gave a short one sided hug to me and than took Renesmee from within my arms. This didn't really bother me, it was his normal greeting now that he had been imprinted on Renesmee. Something I was still trying to get use to.

"So how's the secluded life treating you Bella?' Emmett said with a smirk as we made our way into the house. I grimaced, knowing where he was getting at. He still wasn't letting it go with me and Edward yet.

"The same" I said playing with him a little. Emmett chuckled. I didn't have to say any more for him to get the hint. With Renesmee spending time with Jacob, It was me and Edward alone in the house. The times we spent alone were exactly how Emmett and Rosalie had been the first time they met. Things sometimes got a little out of hand, but unlike Emmett and Rosalie we tried our hardest not to ruin the house Esme gave us.

"Ah, The same old, same old huh? Is it that bad already?" He joked. I growled. Edward smirked and pulled me into the living area. We both knew it never would be.

"I'm so glad that you're getting comfortable in your new home Bella." Esme said as we all settled in, Edward pulling me into his arms to sit on the couch, Jacob sitting next to me with Renesmee in his lap, the rest sitting around us.

"Its like I've always lived there, it's absolutely wonderful, I can't thank you enough." I said in response. "How have things been here?"

"Ah you know… the same." Emmett smiled. Rosalie elbowed him in the ribs.

"So I heard you talked to Nahuel again Alice." Edward stated. Nahuel was a half human half vampire like Renesmee. If it wasn't for him and Hulien's story we might all be dead now by the Volturi's hand. Nahuel had stayed with us for a little while after, but soon left for home, leaving contact information for Alice if we ever needed help. We told them that for there help in saving us we would stand by them for anything. We liked to see it as if they are under our protection.

" Yes, Nahuel and his aunt are doing well," Alice said lightly, but then paused. "however… they told me that recently, a couple of months after their return home, they got a visit from someone that was closely linked to Nahuel's father, perhaps apart of his coven if he has one. They told me this stranger told them that Nahuel's father had been wondering if Nahuel would change his mind and join him," Alice stated. I glanced at Edward. His eyes narrowed.

"Nahuel said he would not join him, do you think he would change his mind?" Edward said.

"He told me he had said no and he was sticking to it. He sounded truthful in his voice, plus I highly doubt he ever would. You know how disgusted he looked by the idea when he told us his story." Alice than shook her head. "I am however curious as to why his Father would send someone to ask him this again and it not even being the father himself."

"Perhaps Joham is being cautious." Carlisle stated from across the room. My eyes narrowed at the sound of Nahuel's father's name. From the story we were given a year ago by Nahuel, his father was a fiend. Joham was considered a scientist with a very bad reputation for experimenting on humans to make half borns like Renesmee. It was him the Volturi have been looking for now and, although I know nothing on whether they know his whereabouts, I knew he had to be stopped. What he was doing was wrong. Everyone else seemed to agree.

"You think he knows the Volturi are after him?" Edward said.

"Possibly, otherwise why would he have sent someone else? Nahuel said he would visit once in awhile. What makes this time different?"

We all seemed to ponder this for a moment. Jacob some how didn't seem interested. he continued to hold Renesmee in his arms while she showed him images of this morning. I didn't blame him. Why did it matter? It had nothing to do with us. I know we had said we would help Nahuel with anything after what he did for us, but it wasn't like he was in danger now. So his father decided not to visit. So what? I figured that would have been a blessing. And although it was strange for one of Joham's coven to come and ask Nahuel again to join him, we should have figured he'd say no.

Before I could ask what Alice's true intentions were for us to come here, Edward answered for me.

"Who is this visitor coming Alice?" He looked at her with sudden concern. Everyone looked at her as well with curiosity. Alice glanced at us all, but her face gave nothing away.

"Someone is coming that wants to see Renesmee. Just like the others a year ago they are curious about this new half human half vampire. Nothing in my vision shows me that they're dangerous." Although we knew Alice must be saying the truth her tone may have suggested otherwise. It was, after all, an unknown vampire she was talking about.

"This person seems to be alone. Might just be a nomad. I figured there's no need to be over protective about it, but I knew I had to let you know. We'll just go through the same procedure we did a year ago with everyone else and things should be fine."

I looked at Alice curiously and then at Edward who also looked the same. I didn't see any problem in it. In fact the more vampires who knew about her and accepted her, the more protected she'd be.

"When are they coming?" Carlisle asked.

"In less than a week." we looked at her in shock. "I know, I'm sorry for the short notice. Strangely I didn't get this vision until last night."

I thought for a moment then looked at Renesmee who now sat beside me. She seemed excited by the thought of a new visitor that wanted to see her. It probably made her think of when all the others had come and her interaction with them. I looked to Edward who nodded. We both trusted Alice's judgment.

"Alright will bring Renesmee here," I proclaimed. "Is there anything more you know about them Alice?"

"I believe the Nomad is a girl, not much older looking then you or Edward. Otherwise there really isn't much else to say. As usual we will tell her to hunt away from this area; otherwise she shouldn't be a problem. She may stay for a couple of days and then leave." Alice shrugged. "Nothing you can't handle, but as always will stay cautious at first just in case. If she's here to see Renesmee for herself she shouldn't pose as a threat of trying to harm her, I would of course see something if she did."

Edward and I nodded in agreement. We stayed with the family a little while longer and then we headed back home. I thought nothing much of our plans after that, but anxiously awaited to get home and have my two loved ones to myself once again.
