Please Enjoy and Review! (Be nice, it's my first one)
Chapter 1: Coming Home
Back at Forks. Again. We used to live here about 3 decades ago but we had to move so that people wouldn't get suspicious of our ageless appearance, and we've moved many times since then. I've missed Forks, kinda, it meant my family could come out in the day with me. I wasn't troubled by the sun, I was only half vampire. Lucky little half breed is what Uncle Em used to say and I'd always beat him up.
"Don't worry about it Nes." My mum would always say, "You've got the best of both worlds."
I didn't believe that. I was a freak, but I enjoyed being a half vampire. It meant I had the speed, the senses, the pulse, the strength, the brown eyes (courtesy of my mother) and of course, my gift. My gift was to show my thoughts to other people by touching their cheek. I loved my gift. It made me feel closer to my family, in a way. Even though I couldn't talk like that to humans, stupid humans, always ruining my fun. I couldn't show them stuff, I couldn't move really fast around them and I couldn't even hit the ones that annoyed me because they'd get 'suspicious'. Stupid humans.
"Nessie, stop that. You shouldn't think about people like that," Dad said in a stern but amused voice as he caught the drift of my thoughts.
Everyone looked at him slightly puzzled. So I told them what I was thinking, and they laughed at me.
Tomorrow we were all starting school again. I was going to be a freshman, unfortunately, but I was with Alice and Jasper so it was okay. Mum, Dad, Rosalie and Emmett were all sophomores. But for now Carlisle was explaining our story for this year, again. After all we hadn't been back at school for a long time, we ran out of sunless places.
"Okay, so this time around we have a new recruit to your schooling lives, Jacob is joining you at school this time," Carlisle began.
I was absolutely ecstatic, this was going to be awesome. I've been wanting Jacob to come to school with us for 2 decades, but Carlisle always said no because he didn't trust that Jacob could keep total control of himself, he always said he might hurt someone.
"He is going to be a junior, he's just too big to pass as anything less," he added as he looked at the shocked expression on my face. "Sorry Nessie, but look at him."
I sighed, he was right.
"Anyway, we are going to have Rosalie, Emmett, Edward and Bella as sophomores, Renesme, Alice and Jasper are going to be freshman. Edward, Emmett and Renesme you are the Cullens, you were my sisters children and they died so you were passed along to me and I have cared for you all since. Jasper and Rosalie, you are the Hales again, we adopted you at the same time that we adopted Alice and Bella, who are our Swans. We saw all four of you and thought that you were all beautiful children and wanted all of you. Jacob is going to school as Jacob Black, not as our adopted son, just Jacob Black." Carlisle finished.
This was confusing, I thought, how am I ever going to remember all of this.
"It's going to be fine Nes," my father answered my thoughts, as if I had said them aloud. He always did that to everyone, except mum, she was a shield. My dad thinks that my gift is the opposite of both their gifts mixed together, because she blocks out all attempts at going to the mind, and he gets into everyones mind and sees what they do. I, on the other hand, show everyone what I see and can get into anyone's mind at all, even my mother's.
I was excited about school tomorrow, a chance to be normal, in a way. A chance to go back to an almost familiar environment, something I've been doing for decades. But it made me nervous anyway, this time was a little different, this time Jacob was joining he party.
I always felt like a weirdo when I went into school, my whole family is pale and beautiful. I'm pale but I really don't think I'm beautiful. Everyone in my family seemed to think I was, and always seemed to get a fair bit of attention from all the guys that I went to school with but I never really thought I was as beautiful as everyone else in my family, even Emmett was beautiful, in a way.
My Dad laughed out loud at the thoughts running through my head. Everyone turned to look at him. And before he could say anything embarrassing I cut in.
"I was just thinking that it will be a bit odd, you know, that I'll be going out with a junior when I'm only a freshman. Can't I at least by a sophomore?" I improvised quickly.
"Well, we want to stay here as long as possible, so it seems more logical to have you as a freshman, and we can't have most of our children all sophomore's," Carlisle answered, but then looked like he was thinking over what I had said. "No, not possible, sorry."
"Oh well, it's okay, I just hoped, but oh well," I would just have to get used to it, he was just too big to be any younger.
"I'm tired, can I go to bed now, I want to be able to be all ready for school tomorrow," I said as it got closer to 11 o'clock.
"Okay, goodnight Nes, I'll wake you up nice and early 'kay," my mother replied as I was heading to my room in our little cottage.
Tomorrow will be good, tomorrow will be good, tomorrow will be good I started chanting in my head. I lost count after 30 times and soon after I fell asleep.
I was suddenly awoken by warm lips pressing against my forehead. I knew who it was and very instantly woke up, even though it felt like I'd been asleep for about 5 seconds.
"Good morning. Ready for school today?" my Jacob whispered in my ear.
I jumped out of bed suddenly and hugged him. "Ready as I can be at this hour in the morning," I said through giggles.
