Chapter 1

Renesmee

I was running.

I was not running from something in particular. I was just running. I was running as fast as I could through a thick, green forest. I was free. A laugh that sounded like bells came from behind me. A girl caught up to me. She was beautiful, with long brown hair and golden eyes. She flashed me a smile and then took off ahead of me. "Come on Nes!" she called out to me. I ran as fast as I could trying to keep up with her.

"Nes, come on!"

I tried to keep up, but she was so fast.

"Nes! Come on! Let's go!"

She was too far away…I had lost her…

"NES! Wake up!"

My eyes fluttered open then to reveal the bedroom that I shared with my two sisters. I looked up to see my youngest sister, Melinda, hovering over my bed.

"Finally!" she exclaimed. "You're supposed to take me to practice this morning, remember? Mom has to go into the restaurant early. "

"Yeah, sorry Mel. I must have fallen asleep studying and forgot to set an alarm", I said while getting off of my still made bed to get in the shower.

"It's okay, just be ready to go in twenty minutes! My director will kill me if I'm late again", she replied while walking out of the door.

I got up and went into the restroom across the hall to shower. After showering I went into my room and picked out an outfit for the day, jeans and a cute tank top, then I sat in front of my vanity mirror to braid my hair and apply some mascara. I then reached into my drawer to pull out my locket and put it around my neck. I then grabbed my backpack and my keys and headed downstairs.

"Chris, leave some pancakes for Renesmee. You've already had five!" I heard my mom, Piper say from the kitchen. Once in the kitchen I found Piper making pancakes, my brother Chris sitting at the bar waiting for more food, and Melinda, my other sister, Lily, and my other brother, Wyatt, sitting at the table. I sat down in the fourth chair to join them.

"Morning sweetie, want some breakfast?" Piper asked when she saw me.

"No thanks, I'm not really hungry. I'll probably go out and get something later", I answered. And I wasn't lying. Human food was the last thing on my mind right now. I can survive on it but I go hunting every few weeks outside of the city to keep my thirst under control. I need to go hunting, I thought to her. Piper answered me with a sympathetic smile and nod. You would think growing up with humans would be hard for me, but I've never had a problem with my thirst around my family. I then turned my attention to Melinda whining about not having a car.

"I'm just saying, it's really not fair that I am the only one in the family with no means of transportation", she complained.

"You had a car and you crashed it", Piper answered. "Besides, neither of your brothers have a car of their own."

"Mom that is completely different. They can orb! They can go anywhere they want to in the blink of an eye, not really a fair comparison", she said with a roll of her eyes.

"So where's Dad?" Lily asked Piper, changing the subject. "Did he go to the school already?"

"No, he's at Phoebe's place. She called this morning, something about her sink being broken."

"You know, considering that Aunt Phoebe is physic, things sure do happen last minute to her", said Wyatt. "I mean you would think that she would for see that her sink was gonna break and then not break it."

"Personal gain", said Chris with a smirk.

"Yeah I know, but seriously life would be so much easier", Wyatt responded with a chuckle.

Just then, a bright pod of lights appeared in the middle of the kitchen and then half a second later my Aunt Paige stood in front of us.

"Hey, you're just in time. Want some breakfast?" Piper asked her sister.

"Nah I'm just here to check the book. I've got a charge in Texas that's being pursued by Scabber Demons", Paige answered. "Is it in the attic?"

"As far as I know", said Piper. Paige nodded and then went upstairs. When Melinda had brought up her discussion about the car again, I slipped out of the kitchen and headed up to the attic. When I got there Paige was looking through the Book of Shadows.

"Hey Nes, do you need something?" she asked me.

"Actually I was wondering if I could talk to you. Do you have a minute?"

I figured it was best to ask Paige about my dreams that I have been having considering that she is the most involved still with the magical world because she was now a full-time whitelighter.

"Yeah, what's going on?" she asked with concern.

"Well I've been having this reoccurring dream lately and I can't seem to figure it out."

"Show me", she said. I sighed and walked up to her, and placed my hand on her cheek and showed her my dream from the night before.

"Do you know who the girl is?" she asked.

"I think I do", I answered and paused. "I think that she is my birth mother. I recognize her from the picture in my locket. "

Paige nodded. "So what do you think it means?"

"I dunno", I responded. "I feel like she's trying to tell me something, to lead me somewhere. And sometimes it's not her. There are times when it's a man I'm running after, and I think he's my birth father. He looks like me. But I just don't understand what they're trying to tell me. I mean, they died when I was a child, do you think they could be trying to tell me something about their deaths?"

"Well, ghosts do sometimes stick around to get justice if they were wronged in death but It's usually soon after they die and not usually in a dream. Maybe this has nothing to do with your parents and something to do with you. Maybe you just want to know who you are. Lots of adopted kids feel that way at some point. I know I did, that's how I found my sisters", she explained with a smile.

"But that didn't mean I loved my adopted parents any less", she consoled me after she noticed my look of guilt.

"Yeah you're probably right, thanks Aunt Paige", I said.

"No problem hun. Now I'll see you later, I've got some Scabbers to vanquish", she said as she picked up a potion. I waved at her as she orbed out of the attic.

"Hey Nes, are you ready to go?" I heard Melinda from downstairs.

"Yeah I'm coming!" I yelled to her. As I left the attic, I turned to look back at the book, maybe there would be something in there that could help me. I would have felt content with what Paige had just said if it wasn't for one thing. It wasn't just my birth parents that I dreamt I was chasing in the forest.

Sometimes it was a russet colored wolf.
