Hey there!
This is my first fanfiction ever, so please let me know what you think. Good and bad ;-)

I have had this in my head for a while and finally sat down to write it. I'm way tired and should be asleep by now, but I wanted to upload this, so please bear with me if there are some mistakes. Ill fix them tomorrow. My grammar might not be too good but hey? I'm not from an English speaking country so I just do my best.

Some basic knowledge - it's an AU where Jacob never imprinted because he wasn't there throughout Bella's pregnancy, he didn't know. Everything else is basically acording to canon, the volturi still showed up cause they thought Renesmee was an immortal child and Nahuel, The denali, Egyptian coven was there etc. That hasn't changed, but later the Cullen's moved, Charlie and the wolf pack never finding out about Nessie's existence or hearing from the Cullens again. Years after all that - our favorite hybrid and shapeshifter finally meets.

Prologue:


It was a harsh night; rain had fallen since early sunrise and had yet to stop. That combined with the uncontrollable blustery wind made it very cold, even for a town as this, which was known for its rainy days, with little to no sun making an appearance. Not many would be found outside, and those who were wore warm clothing. That being said most would be asleep. Yet deep in the forest, where few people even at daylight walked, a figure was moving through, not slowing down even as the rain soaked the expensive and fashionable clothing, that clung to the skin, exhaustion kept fighting to make an appearance, but was somehow still being pushed away, not allowing the many days of sleepiness to take over, the female continued. Moving at a fast pace, the girl didn't even acknowledge her surroundings anymore, the cold that would bother most, as usually didn't faze her. She had no idea about her whereabouts, and at this point didn't even care.

Some would find it unsettling that a girl, no less a beautiful one at that, was out at night in a place like this all alone, with dangerous animals lurking everywhere. But said girl was different than most, it wasn't in her instincts to be afraid of such creatures, quite the contrary actually.

Having no intention of stopping anytime soon, the trees blurred by her, as she moved forward. Not far from there, surprisingly others had also decided to defy the weather. They were however used to the forest and nightly walked through it. Today though, their appearance was different than usually. Instead of thick paw prints appearing in the mud, human footprints could be seen leaving a trace. There were three of them and it appeared, an argument had broken out "Look we have been looking for hours! It's obvious we aren't going to find it" A voice sneered, coming from the girl, who gave the smallest guy, her little brother, a glare.

A whine like sound escaped him "But Leah.. Mom is going to kill me if we don't" he looked at the other guy for help and support, but was only giving a shrug; no one dared cross his sister. He gulped and considered just agreeing to stop looking, but decided that he'd rather face his sister's anger than his mothers. He was after all used to her in this mood.

"Not my fault you lost the thing" Was her reply, having no sympathy for him.

"It was an accident. Honestly I didn't mean to" He said, and shoved some leaves and branches away with his foot, pointing the flashlight towards the ground, though he really had no need for the extra light. Sighing when there still was no sight of what was lost, a brief thought of just buying a damn new one crept up in his mind, but disappeared again as soon as it came, there was no way he had enough money, besides he honestly couldn't remember what it looked like, or if it had anything caved into it. Nah that would never work. Shaking his head, he asked with a somewhat resignedly tone "Do you think she will be mad?"

"Maybe. But probably more sad"

That was worse, he and Leah both new it. After their father's death, she had been heartbroken for a while and now even though, she had moved on with Charlie, she still carried her wedding ring, although she recently had begun wearing it in a necklace, instead of on her finger. Seth having been in a hurry, had accidently grabbed it on the table, where it had laid besides his keys, and as luck would have it, he had put it in his pocket and when he had phased, ruining his clothes the ring was lost, nowhere to be seen. Which explained their current situation.

The other guy with them finally spoke up "Yeah it really wasn't smart of you to lose it dude" his opinion however caused the siblings to let a "Oh shut up Embry" out.

Lifting his hands up in defense, he grumbled "Geez calm down. It's not like I'm out here wasting my time, helping you guys, when I should be sleeping. I have a life too you know!"

A snort slipped through Leah's lips "Og yeah? Since when?" followed by a humorless laugh.

No answer was given and they continued in silence, and were soon father away from their reservation than the town itself. It was unusually quit and they couldn't help wonder why, only a few animals could be heard, though that might be the heavy raining's fault.

Finally having had enough, of the searching and the weather, Leah spoke again "I'm gonna go back, we can look again tomorrow" turning around she didn't wait for a reply and was about to phase, when Embry called out "Wait! Do you guys smell that?"

Both siblings looked at him weirdly, but soon enough they too could smell it. It was sweet scent, but not the sickly kind like a vampires, no it was a perfect mix in some way, different from animals, werewolf's and vampires which meant that it was most likely a human, but yet there was something off about it.

"That's weird" Seth frowned. The others silently agreed. Trying to find out where the scent came from, the three stood unmoving, scanning their surroundings for the source.

Embry's patience though, was only short lived and he soon burst out, what they were all thinking "What the hell is a human doing so far into the woods, especially at night in this weather?"

"Be quit! I think I hear something" Leah shushed him. They all listened closely. Yup someone was definitely moving, not too far away, without saying anything, they moved towards the noise. The closer they got the more they could hear, and it became clear, that the persons walking, was slowly but surely, beginning to turn into more of a stumbling. The boys laid sight on the person, before Leah and both sucked a deep breath in, Embry even let a "Shit man.. She's wow" out, thinking that she wouldn't be able to hear it.

Rolling her eyes, Leah reached them, and understood their reaction. Well at least somewhat. The girl was beautiful, no question about it, even with her soaked clothes and obvious tiredness, she looked inhumanly perfect. Looking at Embry and Seth, she found them still frozen in awe, sighing having no other choice, she took a step towards the stranger and asked "Are you okay? What are you doing out here in this weather?"

The girl however only stopped short stuck in fear, how had she not sensed their presence? She considered making a run from it, but the tiredness was making her dizzy, nearly a whole week without sleep was beginning, to take its toll on her, so she just hissed "None of your business" and kept moving forward, but Leah stopped her, shocking not only the girl, but herself too, normally she would have let someone who spoke to her like that leave, but both she and the guys, had felt a strange surge of protectiveness over her, as soon as they had laid eyes on her.

"We can't let you leave in this weather. Besides the forest is a dangerous place, you really shouldn't be wandering around here" Seth said moving towards his sister, who had a firm grip on the girls arm.

Ripping her arm free, she replied hostilely "I can take care of myself" she tried to walk away once again, but was this time stopped, by the black dots that clouded her sight, her feet wouldn't move and she found herself slipping further into the darkness, not being able to fight it anymore, she let sleep overcome her and horrible dreams or more correct a recent memory began to haunt her.

'I ran out last night, I'm going out tonight again, anything to capture you attention' She hummed along with the tones. Sitting in her bed reading an old romance book, tsk typical Tuesday night for me she thought. She had the sound on her Ipod turned up as high as it would go, trying to block the sound of her family out. Sure her hearing came in handy sometimes, but not tonight when she craved some peace and quit.

As the lyrics filled her head, she somewhere along the line, had stopped reading, and let her mind begin to slip into a dreamless state. She wasn't asleep yet, but pretty close when she was oh so rudely ripped from her happiness, opening one eye she looked at her mother, who had plucked her headphones, out from her ears, closing her eye again she groaned "Mooom! I was sleeping" it was supposed to be an accusation, but she couldn't stop the smile forming on her lips anyway, ha what can she say? She loved her family. Expecting her mom to laugh, answer or well at least acknowledge her, in any way she was very surprised, when that wasn't the case.

Renesmee's eyes shot open and she froze, she had never seen that look on her mom's face before, well okay once maybe, but that was years ago "What's wrong?" her mom didn't react right away and in the mean time Renesmee had time to access two things, one her whole family was unsettled, they were running around, somewhat screaming at each other, of course humans would see it as talking, but for vampires it was definitely considered a form of screaming, she couldn't make anything out though; Two, her mom held a backpack in one hand and in the other her fake passport. Were they going away? Vacation? No definitely not. But maybe moving again? Not being able to take it anymore she asked "Mom!?" she had a bad feeling about this.

"Renesmee" she finally spoke, but her voice cracked at the end. Something was wrong. Very very wrong. Before Renesmee could ask once again, her whole family had joined them. Their faces held the same grim look as her mothers. Still no one talked, having had enough, she screamed at them "What the hell is going on?" and was for once, not surprised when her father, didn't scold her, for her language as he usually would. She looked at her aunt Rose, expecting her to explain, when no one else answered. When she was growing up, Rose was always ready to help her, her daddy used to tell her, that she was like the child, Rosalie would never get, so she loved spending time and spoiling her niece. Though she suppose everyone was like that.

Grandma Esme helped her learn to cook, and they always spent many hours talking about everything between heaven and earth, when Renesmee had a problem, Esme was the first one she came to for help, she was her rock, the whole family's actually.

Grandpa Carlisle was the one she came to when she needed knowledge; he knew everything and his calm and collected self could make anyone fell welcomed and safe.

Uncle Jasper used to teach her history lessons and what not, and then there was his mood control thingy, it came in handy but it sure could be annoying at times. He and Emmet had also taught her self-defense much to her father's displeasure.

Uncle Em? Hmm well she was the only one, who actually found some of his indecent jokes and pranks funny, and they both loved beating each other at games and watching football matches. He was her teddy bear uncle.

Aunt Rose was like a second mother to her. Renesmee had actually inherited her sarcasm and snappy attitude. Just kidding she was actually very sweet, but she didn't let anyone, talk down to her or others, she had no problem with putting people in their place, just like her aunt didn't. They were both very outspoken.

Aunt Alice and her? Well much to her mom's horror they both loved shopping, and Renesmee had her girly, perky attitude from Alice.

Daddy used to teach her piano lessons, and keep her safe, sure he was way overprotective but Renesmee loved him anyway.

Her mom? Renesmee had inherited her love for books, though not her personality, well not most of it anyway, only her stubbornness, hers and her dad's that is. Her moms grace sure and her beauty, but the clumsiness that she had had as a human, luckily hadn't stuck around with Renesmee, though that might have something to do with her vampire senses. In some ways they were much alike and in others completely different, but she was still the best mom ever in Renesmee's opinion.

Her whole family loved her, and would do anything for her, especially when it came to her safety. They were overprotective, her uncles and dad specifically.

But they were her family and she couldn't live without them, she loved them, just as much as they did her.

That was why their response, had scared her more than anything else. NO! Renesme was in shock, close to panicking, but they all kept speaking quickly, everybody had jumped into action now, hurrying her along. Desperate for her to listen. Their words however, kept replaying in her head

Volturi. Coming for us. No Me. Again. Only this time to have me join them. You have to run Renesmee. We can't come. Fight. Keep me safe. Go to your cousins Denali for help. Nahuel and Hulien maybe. Or Benjamin and his coven, or Zafrina and hers. They will keep you safe. We love you. Have to hurry. They are coming.

Huh? Renesmee's mom's screaming brought her out of her daze "You have to run honey! Now. There's no time". What? No! No! Just no. She couldn't let them do this. They were her family and they meant the world to her. How could they expect her to run, when it was her entire fault? She wouldn't leave them, no couldn't.

"You have to Renesmee" Came her dad's voice, it was firm yet gentle "It's to keep you safe"

Renesmee was crying full on now, her face stained with tears "No! Daddy please.. I.. I can't" they had moved outside, her parents now the only ones present.

"You can and you will! We all love you so much" her mom would be sobbing too if she could, she hugged Renesmee close, her dad soon joining in, kissing Renesmee's forehead.

After that she was pushed forward by her mom, it was like it was happening in slow-motion "Run Renesmee! And don't look back. Go find the Denali's or some of the others. Now go!"

She hesitated slightly, before she did as asked of her, using her vampire speed and she was soon far away, only briefly catching the "Be safe" from her family. Be safe!? How? She had no idea what would happen to them, because of her. What the Volturi would do. Alice and her mom would surely be kept alive. But the rest of them would they be killed?

And why was the volturi doing this? Yeah they had been after her, when she was only a few months old, 4 years in looks, but that was to kill her, because they thought she was an immortal child. Their friends and allies however, the ones Renesmee's family wanted her to seek refuge with now, had helped them; convinced the volturi of the truth, Nahuel especially had been a big help. But what did they want whit her now? There were others like her. It made no sense.

Renesmee made a move to head north, but stopped short. No. She would not go to Alaska to her cousins, or Egypt. Actually she wouldn't seek any of her family friends out. It wasn't that they wouldn't help her, she knew they would. Just like her family, most of them would gladly, risk their lives to keep her safe. They had already done it five years prior, back when Renesmee wasn't even one year old yet. But she couldn't agree to that now, couldn't put others that she cared deeply about at risk. Her family was enough, them being put in danger was her fault. Forcing herself to calm down, she stopped the flow of tears, drying them from her face.

Renesme turned around moving in the opposite direction having no intent of stopping whatsoever. She had no idea where she was heading towards, yet it was like her feet had a direction, like she was being pulled somewhere.

Mom, Dad, Aunt Alice and Rose, Uncle Emmet and Jasper, Grandpa and Grandma
please be okay. Please survive. I can't forgive myself if something happened to you because of me.

Renesmee was ripped from the memory, returning to the present, waking up in an unknown room, light streaming through the curtains signaling she had been out all night.
