Chapter 1: Our History

Renesmee's POV

Beep! Beep! Beep! I rolled over and groaned loudly and the sound of my alarm. I really didn't want to get up today, especially today. Nobody would ever think it's possible to hate a date so much, but it is possible, at least for me it is anyways. Today was October 13th, my birthday. Yes, I hated my own birthday. I hated it with a passion that cannot be described in words. Exactly 20 years ago I was born, but it cost my own mother her life, and I hated myself for that.

Let me explain. My full name is Renesmee Carlie Swan. I'm half human and half vampire. I chewed and clawed my way out of my mother's stomach. It was the only way that I could be born, so I had just acted on pure instinct. I could hear my mother screaming in pain in the whole time. I remember her face as she held me for the first time. Her face, which showed that she must have been in unimaginable pain, still showed love, pure love. She still loved me, no matter what I had done to her. Just thinking of that made me want to cry.

"Renesmee Carlie Swan" she had somehow managed to say; despite the suffering that she must have been going through. She had also told me her name, and that was the last thing she ever said. Her arms felt feeble as she held me close to her. In an attempt to save her I bit her. The result was a crescent shaped mark on her chest. But it was too late, she had already lost too much blood.

I had laid next to her for a long time just hoping that she would wake up. When I realized that would never happen I started crying. I taught myself how to crawl and I left. I never saw my mother again.

I grew up alone, very alone. I had been found an orphanage not long after; however people noticed that I was different and they avoided me and shipped me to different orphanages. I grew fast, way too fast, and apparently that wasn't normal. When I was a year old I ran away and lived in the forest for a long time. I was a nomad always going place to place. I had reached full maturity by the time I was seven years old, by then I could pass for a 17 year old human.

When I was 10 years old my life changed forever. I was out hunting in the forest, I only hunted animals. I had been stalking a mountain lion for some time when I finally attacked. Unfortunately someone else had been hunting that same lion and decided to attack at the same time. We collided in midair.

I was mesmerized by him. He was about six feet tall, had beautiful blond hair, and the most beautiful blue eyes that I had ever seen. What fascinated me the most was that he was like me, half human and half vampire that is. His name was Carlisle Cullen Jr.

Carlisle Cullen Jr. was born in London in the early 1680s he believes, time wasn't marked as accurately back then, not for the common people anyway. Like me, he had never met his father, but unlike me, he was raised by a family member. His aunt on his mother's side raised him. His mother's name was Allyson. She had been in love with a vampire named Carlisle Cullen and he was in love with her. Apparently he was different than most vampires, he preferred to hunt only animals and as a result he had gold eyes instead of the usual red. His aunt described him as having unparalled compassion for others, which I truly believed his son inherited.

His mother had run away as soon as she realized that she was pregnant, so his dad never knew of his existence.

Over time we added more members to our coven. First to join was Jennifer, she was the daughter of a man named Joham, but she hated her father because of his experiments with hybrids. Then were joined by Katherine and her twin brother Austin. Then a few years ago we found Jeremy and he decided to join us. We were a coven that consisted only of hybrids. I guess you can say we banded together. There aren't many hybrids in existence, and most vampires are completely shocked to discover we exist in the first place. so it's nice to have a family that consisted of your own species. That's what we considered ourselves, a family.

"Nessie"!" I heard Carlisle Jr. call.

I saw him waiting for me at the foot of the stairs. Time had not made me immune to him. I still melted like butter on pancakes when I saw him. Not that he knew that of course. I didn't want to ruin our friendship by telling him that I like him in that way, it's not like he felt the same way about me.

"Are you almost ready? I swear you girls take forever getting ready" he said.

"I'm almost ready, give me five more minutes" I said.

"Okay, but hurry up or we'll miss our plane" he said.

He had decided a while ago that it was time for us to move because people were beginning to notice that we weren't ageing. Carlisle Jr. was our coven leader and made most of the decisions around here. There was no doubt from the very beginning that he should be the leader. He had great leadership skills as well as being kind, caring, and smart.

I took one last look around the place before we left.

We had decided to go to Seattle Washington. I was excited, I had a feeling that something huge was about to happen.

So what do you guys think? This is an idea that I've had in my head for awhile. I really needed a break from school work so I decided to start writing it sooner than I had origninally planned. Also, I changed Renesmee's birthday on purpose, you'll find out why later on. In the mean time please review and be on the look out for the next update.
