My Family

I smelled the woodsy scent of my Jacob that everyone else seemed to hate. I could tell from the heat that my Jacob was stroking his fingers across my cheeks. Sadly it was a dream. My Jacob was in Washington. The seven-foot bed was perfectly fit for Jacob but it swallowed me and my five-foot-six body.

I got up to get dressed for school. I stepped in to my 625 square-foot closet that was full of designer clothes thanks to Alice. I pulled on my favorite jeans that actually fit because I had stopped growing. I had grown two inches every day since I was born but it slowed a few days after my birth.

My family had refused to let me down for one second. I would bite Jacob when they wouldn't get food for me fast enough. My Jacob. He was the one that made up my nickname Nessie. I shuddered. I remembered the time that Bella, my mom, had lunged for his throat because of my nickname. I knew I had about five minutes before Edward, my dad, would get me for school so; I headed for the main house. I held my head high because I knew what was coming for me.

As I slowed to make sure I didn't run through the wall I heard Emmett's booming laugh. "Hey little sis, I hear your house smells like dog. Is that true?" Responding to the comment, I clenched my fist because I knew I wouldn't win in a battle though I knew Rosalie would stand by me and Edward. Bella. Esme.

Bella would have been able to take Emmett when she was a newborn but she lost it because she was older now.

I hugged Esme said my good-byes and headed for the garage. Normally, when someone says garage you think of a two or three car garage but for my family it is not. We have twelve cars not including my favorite vehicle a motorcycle. They were all too nice for the little towns that moved to. We had decided to live among humans but we had to move around before they could notice we weren't aging As Bella and Edward stepped into the garage, I pulled on my helmet, hopped on the bike and rode it out the door. I caught a glimpse of my mom with a wide open mouth. I knew she was upset. I clung to my Louis Vinton purse that had the value of about the yearly income of an average work person. The wind should have stung my face but it had a velvet touch. I checked the speedometer it was just past 200 miles per hour. I slowed my motorcycle as I got a block away from school. People would start freaking out if they saw it. Edward was right behind me giving me the "disapproving" look. I was too scared to look at Bella, to scared of her look. I parked three spaces away. I hopped off and walked three spaces to my family. I was pretending to be a sophomore.

Though I already knew everything in those subjects, thanks to Edward, I was safe. Time passed by slowly I wanted to know when I would get to see Jacob. He had left to go to Forks yesterday morning to see his father. Then right on cue I got a text message.

From Edward of course, he was a talented vampire. He can read minds. Although not my mom's she had some type of shield, that she thought was a glitch in her mind that didn't let people into head -like my father- or if, she projected it, it would shield others. I got my iPhone out of my purse and read

Edward: you will see him soon don't worry he will be fine.

Sure. How can I trust you? I know that you are my father and all but you have lied before.

Edward: because I know how it hurts you to be away from him

Whatever. We didn't have to worry about getting caught because we all could text one message that was 100 words in about five seconds.

"Rrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn gggg" Saved by the bell for once I skipped down the hallway. I was meeting a girl named Hope I had met in Science. I promised I would sit with her. I knew Rosalie would be disappointed. Hope was an oval-faced girl with her eyes a sky blue. She had brown curls that were like pipe cleaners that were wrapped around a pencil. She had a tan body and was cheerleader type but she was shy. She was so quiet that no one really knew her.

"Hey Hope, how was band?" I asked curiously as I approached her table. I didn't look at the Cullen table because I knew what Rosalie would think.

"Good but slow"-yeah. I know. Same for me, I wanted my Jacob-"but I squeak on my clarinet and the teacher like almost killed me," she said sarcastically "I felt like his eyes were going to burn my skin off. I just didn't play for the rest of the time."

"What do you have for lunch?" she asked. I was the only one that could eat human food since my mom was human when she gave birth to me. I preferred to hunt for my food like my family though. I always go with Jacob and he makes it fun for me by making it a contest.

"The usual turkey sandwich and chips," I replied I had been too lazy to make anything else for me since I was the one that had to make the prop lunches for my family.

I glanced over and saw Alice's face with a blank expression. `I knew what it meant. Alice could see the future; she was talented in her own way. When her expression was back she looked frantically at me and then Edward. I would have to ask him what that was about later.

Once lunch was over I was headed for English the one class that bored me to death if I could ever die so, I decided to text Edward to see if I could get what Alice saw out of him but I doubted it.

Me: What did Alice see?

Edward: Nothing you need to worry about

Me: yes it is I saw her look over at me looking worried

Edward: Fine she saw the Volturi come to make sure you weren't a threat

Me but I'm not and that was big I needed to know

"Ms. Cullen?" my teacher said like she had caught me. "Help me, Edward," I thought frantically.

Edward: A

"Yes? The answer is A make no change." I replied. "Thank you, Dad" I thought sincerely. The classes went by so slowly. I couldn't wait to see Jacob.

'Rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnnngggg gg" Finally school was over I walked to my motorcycle slowly in no rush at all. I overheard one of the cheerleaders talking to her friend, "…He has to be a plastic surgeon they are all so gorgeous."-I knew they were talking about my grandpa, well technically not my grandpa but that's just what I call him when we are at our house. You don't know what we are though-"at least the guys I mean. I wonder if any of them are single." "I doubt it they only have a girl that is single and I doubt it. I bet her boyfriend is just skipping, but have you seen their cars? I mean. They all have a car and they are so nice. The cars all drive really fast to. They have to be filthy rich. I heard one of them has a Mercedes Guardian. Those are like not even sold in a major town of the United States" I hurried up my pace to get away from them and to my family. I hugged my dad when they got to the car I had the closest 7th period class in relationship to the car. As they started the car Alice was talking about throwing a party for Jacob and me when he got home. It made me more homesick

I hurried to my motorcycle, tucked my hair under my helmet, and sped off. I wasn't going home; I was going to the airport to get Jacob. When he stepped out of the door he had a huge smile on his face and he ran to pick me up and hug me in one of his bear tight hugs that I loved. "I missed you. I love you." I whispered into his ear. "So did I and I love you to," he whispered back. I stretched up to kiss him. He and I swung our hands as we walked to the motorcycle he put my helmet on me and I put his sleek shiny red one on him of course I was on my tiptoes and he had to bend down, like he was receiving a medal. We rode home in silence thinking. After I finished my homework in ten minutes and Edward had checked it in five minutes I decided I would plan a hunting trip. Bella, Edward, and Jacob were going to come thanks to my dad I would have only gone with Jacob but he just so happened to be listening at the right time to my mind.

We were going to a state park with a mountain lion problem. Mountain lions were Edward's favorite so if he had heard through our conversation of where to go he would have gone. Plus, it was a stretch for all of us. We hadn't gone hunting in four weeks so Jasper and Bella were a little edgy. Jasper was more worried about my mom because she was a little less experienced with controlling her thirst but she had been able to control it around Charlie and Sue but that was only two. She was okay but Alice was watching her every move and decision along with Jasper's. She was the only one that could get to my mom along with Jasper. Jasper was able to control people's emotion. Calm them down if they were antsy which helped with the fact that my mom needed to control her thirst.

"Mom you should stay you always start hyperventilating when I hunt worrying over if I get hurt. Just stay here or go with Jasper and Alice. They are going to this weekend so go with them, dad is going with us I'll be fine. Plus Jacob probably won't let me out of his sight if you think about it," I assured her.

"Your right I should go with Alice," finally I got her to agree with me.

"I know it hurts you to be away from dad but I want to spend some father-daughter time with him. I love you. I'll see you tomorrow." I said as I hugged her.

We sprinted towards the state park and Jacob started to change into his wolf form. I loved to ride on his russet color fur because it was warm and the rest of my family was so cold.

The taste of the mountain lion was wrong it was like drinking spoiled milk it didn't taste right but it muted the thirst. I didn't really care for this diet but my family wouldn't let me "slip", though I didn't need to because I could live on human food. Jasper didn't like the diet either but he was with Alice and Alice didn't want to eat humans so, he was stuck here with our freaky family. If I were to suck a human's blood I wouldn't kill them because I am not venomous like my family but, humans did need at least a 48 hour recovery depending on how much blood I were to suck. I knew Edward would be listening so I stopped thinking it all together.

When we got back the next day I read my mail I was invited to be on the prom committee. I knew what my family would say so I sent a message saying I can't be on it because I had a conflict the day they met and a suggestion that the prom should be themed as 1899 and for me centered around the Cullens except me and Bella of course.

I had to miss out on so many things thanks to what I was, I hated it. Just like Rosalie, we both wanted to be human instead of vampire. I was already half way there. I wish that I could do some popular things. Like trying out for cheerleader

"Oh Esme I am going to try out to be a cheerleader and I need you to sign these and go to a meeting tomorrow." I informed her.

"Um Renesmee I don't think it's a good idea for you to try out because you might get too popular," Esme replied.

"Why not? I would be happy and plus I am already making friends so there is no point in not letting me." I argued. I hated arguing with Esme she had lost her first born and jumped off a cliff so she never had kids I was like her first child. Bella was my mom but if I had her sign it then people would find out our secret so, Esme was my mom in the stories that I had to tell people.. Edward's face was pursed and his eyes were cold.

"Making friends is ok but if you go to college and then get popular there then more and more people know you and so our secret would be out and then the Volturi will have to come and kill us all. Plus I don't want to die." Esme replied sarcastically but I knew she was serious.

Fine, I won't try out but you will owe me Edward. His face softened along with his midnight sun eyes. He was my father so I had a temper like him I could have a perfect day and then get mad in two seconds. "Well I will talk to you later I have to go do homework.

"Bye," Esme said sweetly. I knew she had forgiven me for my tantrum. She had nearly lost Edward before I was born because Edward thought that my mom had tried to kill herself by jumping off a cliff in La Push. Alice saw it and got to her house and then they had to rush to the Volturi's town. Luckily they got there in time otherwise I would not be alive today.

There were three quick knocks on the door though I wasn't expecting anyone. As I walked to the door I realized the smell it was my dad. I found his smell sometimes overwhelming it was too sweet like a cake with too much sugar in it. Right now that was how it smelled to me. I didn't want him here either with his mind reading, my mind wasn't safe and I needed alone time.

I opened the door enough for him to walk in. "You can be on the prom committee that is fine and I love your idea for the theme, Bella and Alice do to." He commented.

"Little late I already said I couldn't but I'll try to get back on it." I replied, "Do you mind if I take a ride to the meadow you showed Bella? Please."

"Okay just be back by dawn and Jacob can't come." Edward answered sternly.

"But…" I started to protest but my father cut me off by saying "I don't want to hear it he can't come… and that is that"

"Fine" I muttered under my breath, knowing that he could hear it.

The wind blew my hair as I rode to the meadow. I was shocked at how beautiful the stars looked.

As I stared up at the dark sky I decided I would start coming up with ideas. I scribbled notes on a pad with a pen that I had brought for no apparent reason.

1901

Starry night (not the painting)

Casino

I picked up my Marc Jacobs purse and headed for my parents home. I wanted to sleep there in my room. Plus my mom needed to see the list I came up with, though Edward probably already told her.

As I entered to the sweet smell of freesia and rose my mom picked me up in a bear hug though it cut off my air supply. She easily forgot that I needed air more frequently than she did. I made a choking noise and that made her stop and say "Oops" Edward chuckled but I didn't know why. Probably one of their inside jokes from Bella's human days.

"Geez mom, are you trying to suffocate me." I asked sarcastically. She had a look on her face, that looked apologetic almost sheepish as though she was waiting for criticism. "It's okay mom I was kidding." I said realizing she wanted me to yell at her. I didn't know why because I never wanted any one to yell at me, but then again she is really weird in that way.

As I got ready for bed I saw out the window Emmett running then I saw Rosalie chasing him. I had no idea why, but I had a clue.

I put on my navy, green, and silver plaid pajama shorts and a grey cami. As I got in bed my mom came in and said "Honey, when you make friends you can't tell them about what we are."

"Why would I tell anyone mom?" I asked.

"I know you wouldn't it's just that I was told to give you this speech, because we don't want the Volturi stepping in and taking you." Bella said.

"I know what you mean mom will you please just give me a break, please Edward beat you to the punch like, five years ago." I countered with her.

"Okay I'll give you a break." She finally agreed with me.

"Finally," I muttered under my breath. Big mistake.

"I give you a break so much," she screamed 3 octaves higher than her normal voice. "I could make you stay with us all the time or not go to school and home school you. I give you a break so, stop with the attitude and deal with what you have." She pauses and then she says "Oh and you are grounded from seeing Jacob for one month." "Fine." I whispered and closed my eyes.
