Hello! This is my first ever try at writing and "publishing" something. I love to write, but I'm not sure if I'm any good. I hope you like it :]
Disclaimer: I own nothing unfortunately ;)
Bronze and Brown
Renesmee - 14 years old
I was skipping happily, hand-in-hand with Jacob Black, on First Beach, my long bronze curls bouncing by my waist. It was one of those rare nice days on the reserve, and in Forks, Washington, where I lived since I was born. Jacob sat on the bone-white tree trunk that he and my mother had sat on so long ago, and that he and I now sat on very often. I sat down next to him and smiled. He smiled back, his bright white teeth gleaming. I looked out at sea; the sun painted the sky a bloody red over the dark, dancing water. We sat silently for a few minutes. That's what I loved about being with Jacob; we could enjoy ourselves by not talking at all, each others' presence was enough.
My phone vibrated in my pocket suddenly. I recognized the number as my mother's and flipped it open. "Hi, Mom," I said.
"It's going to be dark soon, you might want to think about getting home now," said Bella Cullen's musical voice. She didn't need to ask where I was, who I was with, or if I was okay. She knew the answer to those questions without asking. I was with Jacob, I was always with Jacob. She knew I was okay, and she didn't need to ask where we were because she trusted me with Jacob. Bella trusted Jacob with her life and more. Jacob and I had a connection, a deep bond. He was my soul mate. My werewolf soul mate. He was not a threat to my well-being, though, by being a werewolf. I knew he would never do anything to hurt me. Jacob imprinted on me. His life revolves around me, and mine around him. We were always together. Jake didn't need to ask what Bella said, he heard her. After I told Bella we were on our way home, he grabbed my hand again and we walked to his car together. He squeezed it lightly before he let go to drive.
"How was school today, Nes?" he asked. I go to a private school in Forks.
"It was fine, I guess," I answered. Jacob laughed his husky laugh. He knew I hated school. Everyone there ignored me. They could tell I was different. I sat alone everyday. The boys thought I was beautiful, but are too scared to go anywhere near me. I am beautiful. I'm half human and half vampire. I got my rosy cheeks and chocolate brown eyes from my mother, who was human when she gave birth to me, and I got my beauty from my father, Edward Cullen, because vampires are supposed to be beautiful. It's one of their ways of inviting human prey in. I'm a "vegetarian" though. I only drink animal blood. At school, I nibble on human food, like a tiny bite of pizza, but I really don't like it.
Jacob turned into the driveway of the Cullen house, the long winding path with trees on either side. I heard my aunt Alice having an animated discussion with Bella and Jasper and Emmett were having a heated debate over who could jump the farthest.
Edward was silent, I could only hear his low breathing. I knew he was watching Bella. It made my heart swell to see my dad looking at my mom with such love, care, and tenderness in his eyes. They loved each other so much. It reminded me of the way Jacob looked at me.
Jacob and I walked into the house. We were greeted with smiles and happy faces. Bella waved us over. All of a sudden Edward became very stiff and tense. I could he was focusing very hard on the thoughts of someone else. Alice's eyes became wide and she stared unseeingly out the back window. When her eyes came back into focus, her mouth dropped into a perfect "O" and Edward looked frightened. Everyone in the room was looking from Edward to Alice. Alice sat down and looked up at me, fear displayed plainly in her dark gold eyes.
Something was wrong. Something was very wrong.
Alice closed her eyes and seemed to be searching the future again while rubbing her temples. Edward was paying very close attention to her thoughts. Bella was in a panic. As soon as Alice's eyes snapped open, Bella yelled, "What's wrong?!"
"It's Tanya and her coven. They...they want to avenge Irina's death," Edward answered.
"Please tell me they are not thinking of fighting the Volturri!" Bella screeched, turning paler than usual.
"No....they want to fight us. They want to...they want to--" Edward couldn't seem to finish his sentence..apparently it was too horrible to voice.
"Edward, please! They want to what?" yelled Bella. The others were staring, waiting.
"They want to fight us to get to Nessie and...and...and kill her," Edward said. Bella turned, if possible, paler still.
"Well we can't let them. We'll fight them. They're outnumbered," Bella said, trying and failing to sound confident.
"Bella," Carlisle interjected, "would you feel right if you killed Tanya? Or Carmen? Or any of them?"
"No! But this is my daughter we're talking about!" Bella yelled, slightly shocked at Carlisle's response.
"I'm not saying we won't all fight if we have to, Bella, but if we can, we shall try to avoid it," Carlisle answered calmly.
"So what are we going to do? Hide?" asked Rosalie.
"It seems like we'll have to do exactly that," sighed Carlisle. "We'll find somewhere I'm sure."
I sat there in shock. I didn't ask Aro to kill Irina! Why was this my fault? The Denali's really wanted to fight the Volturri but since they had no chance in Hell of winning that fight, they were passing the blame of Irina's death to me. I almost forgot Jacob was with us until he moved next to me. Jacob was about as pale as Bella and Edward. I could hear his heart racing, he was terrified. "I'm going to help," Jake said, his voice steady despite his shaking frame. He was fighting back the urge to transform.
"I didn't think you wouldn't, Jake," Bella said. Her golden eyes were hard and cold.
"We'll leave first thing tomorrow night, then," said Carlisle dismissively. And it was settled. Tomorrow night I would be saying goodbye to my life in Fork's for who knew how long? Maybe forever.
WELL I hope you liked it. Reviews would be very niceee - loved it, hated it, thought it was okay? Please review :D
