The Curse She Bears.
Disclaimer: Not mine, Stephanie Meyers.
Summary: Nessie says she doesn't remember her parents. She lies. Character death.
Your name is Nessie.
You're twenty years old today. Or, that's what Jake tells you. You don't really know, and you can't remember a lot, you tell him.
But it's a lie you tell yourself because it's the only way you sleep at night.
Because you remember everything.
You remember your Mother's scream, then the eerie quiet once she fell silent. And Mommy's face has cracks on it, and the mean man's lips are red like blood….
Daddy screams and it's worse than Mommy's and you want to reach out and hug him, but-
"Jacob, run!"
Jacob is running fast and the wind is whipping through your hair, making it hit your face and it's only when you can't see snow anymore that you realize what has happened. And nothing will ever be okay, because Mommy is dead.
You both wait for the call once you're 'safe'. Daddy is supposed to call, to say it's safe to come home and that Mommy is okay, because that's what Aunt Alice saw, right? Jacob tells you that he's going shopping and that he'll be back and he's sure Edward will call. You nod and wait for the phone to ring because Aunt Alice is never wrong. The phone never rings.
You're 20 years old today. Your name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen. You are the last of the Cullen Clan. You are the spitting image of Isabella Swan, down to the brown color of your eyes (Mommy had red eyes, but they once were brown. Someday, you think, my eyes will change too.). You remember bronze hair and yellow eyes. You remember sparkling skin and russet colored fur as you gripped it tight. You remember your Mother's death and your Father's scream. It is your curse to remember.
