Chapter 1: Invitation (Renesmee)
I was sitting with Emily, and her baby Evelyn, Leah, Claire, and Kim at the beach. It wasn't sunny or raining, and there are no people. Leah was being a total drama queen by talking about how she can't find a "boyfriend". Seriously I'm tired of hearing this discussion or what I should say drama. Oh yeah the treaty line is history… well only to good vampires that Jacob can approve before passing the line. Lucky me I don't need his approval because I'm his girlfriend, my family can pass through too since I asked him too. But the Volturi can't since they tired to kill me when I was a baby. I love Jacob more than ever for protecting me and trusting my vampire family through La Push beach. Oh yeah he's the Alpha now since Sam and Emily have a baby named Dawn. I'm lucky to have two amazing families in my life, and lucky to have Jacob and no one can ever touch him… I mean no one! Not even a huge celebrity, or any girl! Then Leah's annoying voice disturbed my daydreaming.
"Renesmee! Earth to Renesmee Carlie Cullen! Are you listening to me? Are you alive?" She was waving her hand on my face, and staring at me.
"Huh… what? Sorry just thinking of Jacob. What were you talking about?" Trying my best to stick to the conversation, but obviously failed. She sighed, and glared at me making me feel guilty for not listening.
"I'm talking about my guy problems here. Can you at least help me, since you have a boyfriend and all?" I sighed. Being with her is a big pain in the ass.
I rather be with Embry, and the pack cliff diving by now, or helping Jacob fix our bikes, but no Leah pulled me away to help her. See she had a relationship with Sam before he married Emily. And, she can't let that go up to now. I feel sorry for her and all, but she has to move on.
"Leah… you can't be like this forever. You need to socialize more, be more open, and have fun! Then you might actually find someone to be in a relationship with." I insisted. I realize my voice was tensed, but they didn't comment on that. So I'm good.
"Yeah! We can go to a night club, and help you find Mr. Right! Hmm… what do you think? We can get Alice and Rosalie to go." Kim said daring, and has a naughty look in her eyes.
"I second that motion! Leah you need it. And I'm not taking no for an answer. It will be fun!" Emily said. She was stilling holding Evelyn in her arms, she was sleeping very quietly. She is a very cute baby.
"Plus you need a girl's night out! You're always serious, and tensed. No wonder you don't have a boyfriend. You're always down right serious!" in a teasing truthful way.
"Hey—I can be fun!" We looked at her and she blushed instantly.
"So… I'm not fun or hip. But I can try." Leah being innocent, and convincing.
"Really Leah… that's hard to believe. I don't think you can handle it." Jacob said. He sat beside and kissed me on the lips.
"Ok ewww! Honestly get a room you two. No need to make me feel nauseous." We all laughed, Jacob was lying on my lap and playing with my hair like always.
"Hey honey. What are you girls talking about?" Still playing with my hair, and admiring me.
"Talking about Leah's boyfriend problems or should I say "boy" problems." I air quoted the guy part. It made him laugh so hard.
"Are you talking about Leah's guy problems? Can we join?" Seth said. The rest of the pack was with him, including Sam.
"Shut up Seth! Why the f*** did you bring them here? And heck no you can't join!" She yelled furiously.
"Whoa! Language sis, should I make an appointment for anger management class? Besides we have nothing to do now."
"Well I know you won't be dating anyone, when I'm done with you." She threatened.
"Is that so…I'm sorry to break your heart, but I have a date. Her name is Sheila; she's amazing, and attractive. We're going to see a movie tonight." Seth bragged with joy. I swear he was enjoying this; this might be his lucky day.
"Why are you doing this to me? I hate you Seth." She cried. Ugh… ok I was about to say something but Seth had something to add. So I quickly shut my mouth, and let Seth finish.
"Don't hate me. She said, her friend Ashton came to town last week; about your age, and his single. She wants to double, so Ashton can move on from his ex. So what do you say Leah?" He asked. Leah blushed, and was uncomfortable about this. Then Emily and Kim smiled happily and they said.
"Go Leah this is your chance!"
"No! I'm not going on a date with a random stranger. He might not be my type." She said being a drama queen again.
"Ok…fine Leah don't go. But don't turn to us, and complain about your love life, or being single forever. Just saying."I said nonchalantly, and tapped Jacob to sit up, my legs were numb and I don't know if I can stand.
"Are you saying I'm afraid of commitment, or a blind date? Are you saying I can't handle it Renesmee?" Being tensed, and defensive. She was so close to strangling me, but I'm ready if she is.
"I don't know… yes Leah. Since you're very nervous, blushing red, and ruining your one and only chance. Does that answer your question?" I looked at her hard like a detective, and crossed my arms. It didn't take long for her to look away and finding the right words to say.
"Ohhh… she has a point Leah." Seth and Embry mocked together. They were giving each other high fives, and howling very loud.
"Not to mention, your chances are one in a million and counting." Jacob said putting his arm on my waist, and kissed my cheek.
"Ok! Fine I'll go to this double date, and prove to you all that I can have a relationship, and prove you all that you are wrong! You'll see." She said bravely and with pride.
"Ok its settle then. Seth call your girlfriend, and tell her your double date is set. And I'm going home before my dad kills me for being late for family game night." I said very embarrassed and sad to leave soon.
"Do you have to leave now Nessie? We haven't spend even spent an hour together." Jacob said sadly. He sighed heavily and stared at the sunset.
"Come to my room later when my family is asleep. Will that make it better Jake? I know dad and Rosalie will be pissed but I don't care." Being innocent and flashing my best puppy dog eyes he loves. I even kissed on the lips to convince him that I'm not lying.
"Not—sure I'm convinced yet Nessie. I am on night shift for the whole night." I laughed very hard, I kissed him again and then he gave in.
"Ok…I'll see you later Nessie. Keep your window open for me ok?" He said cockily. He kissed my cheek and walked me to my car.
I opened my car and started the engine. I turned on my radio to play my favorite song "Tiktok" by Kesha. Jacob grinned and closed my door. I put on my sunglasses and backed up. Jake waved good-bye and gave his cocky bad boy smile. I smiled and drove away. While I was driving I got my I phone and called dad.
"Hello! Dad are you there? Hello?" Glad that he picked up. He said.
"Renesmee. Where are you? Did you have fun at La Push?" Very calm and a bit worried. I wish he can trust Jacob being my boyfriend and all. Not to mention he spoils me a lot even if I don't want him too. I'm his princess and there's nothing I can do about it. I love him and mom.
"I'm on my way dad. Are you all waiting for me? Because, you can all start without me. Besides Emmett can't hold his temper not to mention his patience."
"Don't worry about it. Emmett and Jasper are having an arm wrestling match. I think Jasper's winning."
"Hey tell her to hurry up! I'm burning here waiting for her!" Emmett yelled in the background. "Oh shit! That was close. Jasper you're finished!" He added. He's so competitive.
"I'm hurrying…I'm hurrying! Don't rush! Go uncle Jasper! Go! I'm betting on you to win!" I yelled back with joy.
"Hey you're supposed to be on my side! F***, Jasper that was a cheap shot! Rematch now!" Emmett being frustrated and defeated.
"Now you owe me, Edward, Alice, Carlisle, and Nessie 100 bucks each! Ha! Take that Emmett! Thanks Renesmee, you're my good luck charm!" Jasper said with victory.
"Renesmee, we won! Alright, $100 here we come! We're a good team! See you later!"
You too dad! I'm almost there; I'm just going to check the mail. Bye!" I hang up the phone. I went to the mailbox.
Of course it was separated, good thing we duplicate all the keys. By keys all of them not just here in Forks, but other countries too. I know there are many, but sometimes I go to Hawaii all by myself without anyone knowing. I brought my friends Drake, Nicole, Jesse, Rachel and Allie with me. It was fun till my parents came there and took us home. Anyway back to reality, I got Carlisle and Esme's mail they have the most so I put it in the car first. Then came Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and Alice's mail there just bills and more bills from online shopping and video games. Then Bella and Edward's mail nothing much just letters from work and grandma. Then finally me, I have my phone bill which is no problem, and a strange Manila envelope sent by some school. It says.
To: Renesmee Carlie Cullen, Forks Washington
Fr: The House of Night Staff, Oklahoma, Tulsa
House of Night? Weird I checked the back it was sealed with red ink. Fancy I thought some rich school. I've only heard this from Louise who recently turned into vampire without short notice. She said it was an amazing school full of vampires. Only thing is she has an affinity for Earth, spirit and water. Her mentor is Lenobia, her principal or shall I say High Priestess is Neferet. She is currently a third former along with her friends.
Well one thing is for sure, I'm not going to some vampire school I don't know of. No one can make me go there. Not even this school or its staff. I'll avoid anything at all cost. So I took all the mail and drove only a few more kilometers. I got home and put all the mail in the office. If anyone ask I'll get them myself and hide my letter.
Everyone greeted me and gave me snacks. Emmett being over confident challenged me to play Tekken 6 using his X-box. They already wager their bets. Of course I won I always beat Emmett at this game. It became really boring, and too easy. Next I played with my dad with chess. He beats me every time, but not this time I won for the first time ever. This must be my lucky day
Then I suddenly looked at Bella my mom. Who has all the mail in her hands and passing it? All I can think about is…wait for it. Shit! I quickly went to her and hopefully get my letter without surprising her. But I failed, because she said.
"Renesmee, this special letter is sent to you." She gave it to me and everyone faced me. I swear I was about to faint.
"Thanks mom! I'm just going to take this home and come back." I was walking fast till Emmett lifted me and brought me back.
"Emmett! Put me down! Put me down now! This isn't a good time! Put. Me. Down. Now! Argh!" I yelled furiously. I even slapped his back and was kicking uncontrolled like a little girl.
"Jeesh kid! Calm down, we just want to know what that letter is?" Still not putting me down. He was holding me too tight.
"It's not really important. Honest, it's just a letter from Louise again only she has more to say." Of course I lied I don't want them to know about this letter. But this time dad gave me a hard look and took the letter from my hands.
I sighed in defeat and said. "Ok. It's a letter from the House of Night. They want me to go there and study. But I'm not going. Satisfied. Can Emmett put me down now?"
"That's better. Now Renesmee is that so hard, telling the truth?" Dad giving me his lecture tone which is annoying.
"I'm only doing it, because I love you Renesmee. Emmett you can put her down now." Relieved that he said that. Emmett putted me down; I stumbled but got into balance. Bella was disappointed, but I didn't care all I wanted is that letter to be buried or burned right now.
"You're not going to burned this till we read. Understand Renesmee?" I mumbled something under my breath that my dad didn't understand. So I looked at him and nodded. So he ripped the envelope and read it out loud.
Dear Renesmee Carlie Cullen,
We are pleased to inform you that you are accepted and here by asked to join the House of Night. We are sending someone to give you a special mark on your forehead. We asked you to go to our school as soon as you get it. As a new fledgling we attached one plane ticket to Tulsa. No… never mind that we will pick you up ourselves. We wish your presence here at our school. Merry meet. Merry part. And Merry meet again Renesmee.
High Priestess,
Neferet.
P.S. You new room mate is Renesella Van Force a.k.a. Louise Vander. Your new mentor is Professor Lenobia. Your going to be a third former student.
Then Edward stopped. A weird greeting? Mentor? Mark? WTH is this? I got the letter from dad and read once, twice, three times to sink in. I felt my stomach clenched and swear I was going vomit. Luckily Esme got me a glass of water to drink. I drank the water, and breathe calmly. Alice and Jasper looked inside the envelope for more papers or whatnot. Then Alice found something.
"Hey I found this video letter from your friend." She said happily and gave it to me. I looked at it first, then went to the living room and put it on.
Ok. Louise—I mean Renesella is obsessed with technology and creativity. Whenever she sends me letter and such it is always fancy or expensive. Not to mention Jasper found another letter from her again only this time hand written and has a friendship bracelet she made herself. Now that's better, so I put on the bracelet and press play.
"Is it on? Stupid tripod stand still! Everyone please be quiet, ok! Thank you." It was nice to hear her voice again I miss her very much.
"Hey sis! I guess you finally got the letter huh? You must be like WTH! And probably like "I'll never go to this school" or "No one can make go" or "I'll just have to avoid this tracker at whatever cost." Right? Well I don't blame you Renesmee. Because I've been there and done that process. Trust me they can easily convince you to come-." Then she got interrupted by a spoiled rich girl.
"We're welcoming your new nerd herd of a friend Renesella. Not pushing her away. So stop with comforting, because she's coming here whether she likes it or not. Oh… I'm Aphrodite by the way. I'm the normal one around here and very popular. I have visions that is my gift. Everyone wants to be me." She was grinning and was playing with her hair. Gosh that annoys me with girls.
"Nice and fun isn't she Renesmee! Just ignore her like we do and you'll be fine trust me. She a plastic spoiled Barbie doll." She laughed.
"Not to mention a total bitch queen! Right twin." One girl said.
"Of course twin. Your always correct." Another girl said and played with her hair. Renesella rolled her eyes and sighed.
"People! I'm trying to tell Renesmee something important here! So can all of you shut up now! Gosh no wonder we're not getting along! Ok. The two twin girls here are Erin and Shaunee." She pointed to the two girls waving happily. As weird as it is they may not be related or look alike, but they have the same interest.
"Hey Renesmee! I'm Erin; I live around here in Tulsa. I love fashion it's basically my whole entire life! Hope you can come here and I'll give you some fashion tips!" She winked and smiled.
"Twin your not the only one who knows fashion. I'm Shaunee by the way, I'm actually the expert of fashion here Erin's just a rookie." Erin gave her an offended look.
"Sorry Erin but it's the truth. Anyways I transferred from Connecticut to Tulsa. And just like my twin said we'll give you tips on fashion girl. Trust me." I can tell Louise a.k.a Renesella is starting to be pissed off, it made me laugh watching her lose her patience.
"OMG! Shut the damn up guys! Your not helping Renesella here, now please let her talk or wait for her to ask you to speak. We're welcoming a new friend not scaring the heck out of her." Two girls said together. Everyone was quiet only Louise was happy and kept her cool.
"Finally! Thank you Zoey and Stevie-Rae I owe you both so much right now. I appreciate it gratefully. Now what am I suppose to say." She twirled her hair then her eyes wondered like an anime character. Ok I watch anime here and there random times, but not always.
"Right…Zoey, me, Damien, and Stevie-Rae we're all third formers! Hey Z wave!" The camera went to Zoey and she waved shyly and directed the camera at Louise again.
"Don't worry she isn't this shy, trust me. She lived in Broken Arrow before coming here. She's really amazing!" Then Zoey covered her mouth and pulled her out for awhile. I heard something broke and rough play. Hope they're alright, but then again Louise deserved it.
"Sorry about that. Technically I'm the only one here who is normal, and so is Jack my boyfriend. Those two won't hurt each other; they'll eventually stop in 5 minutes I know all these things. Oh… I'm Damien by the way.
Damien was right in 5 minutes Zoey and Louise stopped fighting and were just laughed the head off. Of course Louise got some bruises, but hey it would heal up easily. They remind me of Jacob and Embry's fights rough at first, and then friends after like nothing bad happened. Do I really want to go? No! No Renesmee you're not going to this school. Even if your best friend in the whole wide world is there. I got to stop this inner babble habit its getting on my freaking nerves.
Finally Louise is in control again. So looking at the camera she said.
"Ok Renesmee. I think we scared you by our weirdness, and crazy stunts. We just want to say "Hi" and hope you can come. Guess what? Lenobia will be our mentor! Isn't that great! She's amazing and very nice. She teaches Equestrian studies, best subject ever!"
"Hey! It isn't only her in this school ya know. There are also other great teachers in the house of Night! I'm Stevie-Rae by the way. I'm actually not this crazy just these guys and girls are. Sorry there is one other guy who is suppose to come. His name is Erik Night a sixth former like Aphrodite here. Great she left don't worry she hates us all." She said sadly, but had a slight smile on her face.
"You see my friends, and got some info. So we can't wait for you to come, if not we don't blame you. But seriously I hate saying this, but you no choice once your marked Nessie. You'll have to come here if you don't want to die. And I'm dead serious about this. Just warning you here sis, no joke and don't hate me." She said sadly, and then added. "Sorry 'bout that, but it's the truth, so see you later Nessie! Bye…love you!" Then it ended to the credits.
I was crying not about what I heard, but the pain of Louise and I imagine the same thing for me. So I really have no choice, but it won't stop me from avoiding that tracker. Right now I saw different selection of the DVD to give me info about my new school. It was nice and brilliant not to mention like a castle who would dream to live in. Aunt Rosalie sat beside me and gave me a smile.
"So Renesmee… are you going to go to this school?" Knowing her completely she wants me to say "yes". I get it this is her way to separate Jacob and me. Great! More to add the drama in my life. Ah crap!
"Aunt Rosalie. I'm not going and no one can make me go! Not even this damn school! Does that answer your question?" I feel so pissed off right now that I can punch someone on the face for no f***king reason!
"What's with that attitude young lady? This is a great opportunity for you. A school full of vampires can't say no to that." Trying to convince me to go. Honestly she failed since I gave her a cold stare.
"Well… Forks is my life! I'm not throwing it away for some all vampire school! Besides Jacob could kill himself or run away if I'm gone! Do you think I want this! I don't Rosalie, and you can't make me!" I yelled very angry I stand up walking to the side glass door, but Rosalie grabbed my arm tight restraining me.
"Who cares? Renesmee… you spend all your time with him. Now you need some time to be alone or with other people! You rarely spend time with us! Please just think about Nessie." She loosen my arm slowly. I rubbed it and said.
"I care a lot! Who knows what Jacob would do! If I found out I caused all his depression I'll be responsible for it. His part of my life Rosalie! Case closed no more questions. And just what I said before. You. Can't. Make. Me!" With that I ran into the forest and went home. All I could see is my whole family speechless and disappointed.
