Dear Diary,

I don't know why I am starting a diary, because I never forget things, but I'm doing it. Maybe it would be smart if I document my life so that if I ever got killed for not being as pretty as my whole family is, someone would know it wasn't my fault for being ugly. Or maybe I will get amnesia for being a total unique creature. I'm sure it will do some good sometime.

So, it's me, Dawn Black! Named after the rising sun. My Quileute name is Hupaki Glake, (which means 'Bat' in Quileute; I think my parents must have had fun with all the vampire myths around) but you probably understand why I prefer my 'human-proof' name.

My parents are Renesmee Cullen-Black, a half vampire, half human and the wife of Jacob Black. He's a werewolf. So yes, that means that I'm all mixed up.

I'm a one-of-a-kind being, which has its pros and cons. I can, as half werewolf, shift in any animal I want. I heal and grow in an unhuman speed. As quarter human, I can eat normal food. I can have children, however I don't think I will ever want them. As quarter vampire I'm very strong, can run very fast, glow in the sunlight and feed on blood. Of course, that will be animal blood, but as well as the good vampire side, I have the bad too. I can't be near bloody human scenes. I've never tasted human blood in my life, but it smells like heaven.

Ever since I was born, my family has been afraid. The Volturi, a sort of royal vampire clan in Italy, doesn't know I exist. They don't like experimental creatures like me. So as soon as they will know I was born, we will be summoned. And that could be any day, whether it was tomorrow or in a year.

Yesterday, a spy from the Volturi came to check our area. I haven't seen him, but he has seen me. I was hunting with Grandpa Edward and Dad. I was just taking off my shoes (silver stiletto's, thanks to Alice) to change, and suddenly Edward stopped running and closed his eyes to listen. He said we needed to go home immediately and so we left the woods. Home; he said he'd listened to the mind of a Volturi spy and heard that he'd seen me. The Cullens had some problems with them before, so this was definitely bad news.

But I have to stop writing now, because Mom's calling. I heard some noises downstairs, so I think there might be some news about our Volturi accident…

Love, Dawn
