Chapter 1: Running Away
Nessie's POV
I was sweating bullets. If my heart was beating it most likely would've been beating a million times a minute. Never had I been so thankful that my heart was the one organ in my body that lay dormant because it would've betrayed me a long time ago.
I had been planning my getaway for days. Knowing that my mom would be away hunting for the day made today the best time for me to runaway because with mom around it would've been impossible.
Still that didn't make it any easier. Part of me was scared that she would come home early unannounced and catch me in the act. I quick finished packing some clothes and the credit card mom had given me for emergencies.
"Nessie what're you doing?"
I screamed and jumped when I heard my brother EJ's voice.
"Jesus Christ EJ you're going to give me a heart attack!"
"You can't have a heart attack when your heart doesn't even beat," he rebutted. "Now answer the question what are you doing?"
"Packing,"
"I see that Nessie. I mean why are you packing? Where are you going?"
"Does it matter?" I huffed. "It's not like you're going to approve anyway,"
"It does matter when it concerns my little sister,"
I rolled my eyes dramatically. Just because he was a whole minute older than me he felt felt entitled to calling me his 'little' sister which also meant that he was the boss of me in his eyes.
I tried to push my way past him but he stopped me of course. "You're not leaving until you tell me what you're up to,"
"EJ let me go!" I shouted angrily.
"Not until you tell me what you're up to,"
"Okay fine," I stomped my foot angrily like a little kid. "I'm going to go find dad,"
He looked taken aback. Clearly not the answer he was expecting at all. "What? No you're not. What kind of nonsense is this?"
"Look just because you're not interested in knowing anything about our father doesn't mean that I'm not-"
"Renesmee are you crazy? You know how mom feels-"
"So you don't think we have the right to know about our father? Mom always gets mad when I ask about him-"
"So you should stop asking," EJ said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Which maybe it was to everyone else but not me. "Mom already told us that he dumped her the day after her eighteenth birthday. Left her because he 'didn't want her anymore'. I mean who does that the day after consummating a relationship? I'm sorry Nessie but that's all I need to know about our so-called father and that should be enough for you too,"
"Well it's not," I replied with anger in my voice. "I want to know who my father is and not you or anyone is going to stop me from trying and if he doesn't want anything to do with me than fine but at least I'll know for sure,"
I could feel tears forming in my eyes and I tried my hardest to fight them. Crying was something I tended to do when I was angry and I hated
that.
I sighed. The curse of being half human meant I had human weaknesses like crying. My brother EJ and I were both half human and half vampire. Twins born from a human mother and vampire father. Our species so extremely rare that most vampires didn't even know creatures like us could exist.
My mother, Isabella Swan, was pregnant with us for only a moment when she gave birth to us. Our birth was so bloody and violent that mom nearly died. Luckily I was venomous and was able to bite my mom and kick start the transformation process just in time.
Seven years later here we were. EJ and I grew so fast that we resembled eighteen year old teenagers now. In our seven years of life we've lived in five different places. Mom said we couldn't stay in one place too long because people would notice we were different. As of now we'd been living in Southern California for a year and a half.
We've lived in mostly sunny places to avoid other vampires but still we've ran into them from time to time. Most know we're different just by our scents but when we tell them what we are they never believe us at first.
Mom has told us a lot about vampires and the supernatural world. The only subject she's refused to touch on was our father and his family. She'd get angry every time I asked about him. That's why I've decided to run away and find out on my own.
I know she met him in a place called Forks, Washington so that was where I planned to start my journey. See what I could find out there.
I heard EJ sigh. "Fine I guess I can't stop you," he said. "So I'll go with what you,"
"What?" I asked, dumbfounded.
"Someone has to keep you safe and out of trouble. Since I can't stop you from leaving than I'll just go with you,"
"But EJ-"
"No buts Renesmee. Just like I can't stop you from leaving you can't stop me from coming with you. What kind of brother would I be if I let my sister go unprotected?"
I shook my head. My brother was just like me. Once he got an idea in his head there was no stopping him.
So I booked us two plane tickets to Seattle. All the while wondering how mom would react when she came home and found both of her kids gone.
