"Mom please tell me the story of how you met Dad."
I ask my Mom, Bella Cullen for the 10th time today. It was another boring day at home and everyone was out doing something. Mom and I were left alone in the cottage and she was making me something to eat. I was sitting on the kitchen counter with my feet dangling off, even though I was technically only 2 years old I was mentally a 15 year old girl and was still less than 4 feet.
"Renesmee I told you, we met in school and things just clicked." She answered annoyed at me, for begging her again.
"I know that, but how did it happen? What was the first thing he said to you? What did you think of when you first saw him?"
"I don't know I can't remember" Mom answered simply and handed me my sandwich.
I knew she was lying to me, I could s see it in her eyes. Something happened and she didn't want me to know about it, but what? From what I knew, Mom and Dad's relationship was perfect, with no bumps at all. In my two years of life I never one saw them fight, or get angry with each other. So what could be so terrible they couldn't even tell their own daughter?
"Mom-"
"Renesmee, I don't want to hear it. Go to your room and do something" She said annoyed and walked out into the living room grabbing her Wuthering Heights book.
I sighed knowing I wasn't going to get anything out of her tonight and went to my room. I jumped on my bed and looked up into my purple ceiling thinking about how Mom and Dad met. I didn't realize how tired I was until my eyes drooped and I was overcome by a bright white light…..
I woke up the next morning with the next morning to my beeping alarm clock on my nightstand. I looked over to see that I only had 15 minutes before school started. I shot out of bed and went straight to my closet to get ready.
"Hey Mom? What's for breakfast?" I asked knowing my mom could hear me from the other room but to my surprise, everything was quite. No sound of the oven, or the TV was on.
"Mom? Dad?" I asked again but like the time before, no response.
Don't worry they just went hunting I told myself and then grabbed an apple from the kitchen and ran to school.
Walking through the hallways of Forks High School was natural to me. All of the trees were green everywhere, and the small student body, was all so familiar and normal. I have been attending the high school for my "education" as Daddy would say it but in all honestly I was only here because I wanted to be somewhat normal. The grades were never a problem with 8 vampires all teaching me so much since I was 1. I think knew more than any high school student ever would.
Today was no different, except for the fact that everything seemed...off. I didn't know a single person in this school, everyone looked new to me. Any time I turned a hall I would see a new face that just continued to look odd and unfamiliar. Everything seemed to get stranger when I started going to my classes. All my teachers were absent and had subs in all of my classes and anytime I had a question, no one answered. It was as if I was invisible.
Then lunch came around and to make things even stranger all my aunts and uncles were here "Eating" at the far corner. They all were hunched over and talking to their spouses. None of them have been to high school since I was born because they wanted to give space and let me spend more time with people close to my age. I tried to wave to them and even shout their names, but no one noticed.
Just then, my father Edward Cullen walked into the cafeteria and if I didn't know any better, I would not recognize him at all.
He looked different somehow, like not himself. He seemed drained and depressed. He walked with a casual ease and like he didn't have a purpose in life. Then once he sat down, he hunched over and started "eating". I knew better than that, he was just telling everyone what he was hearing.
Then he turned his head and looked over at another table, no, he glared at a table. I turned my head to see what he was looking at and then I gasped.
It was my Mom. Her pale completion was a shade pinker and her hair wasn't as long as it was since I saw her this morning. But what shocked me the most were the eyes; the exact eyes that I have heard about in so many stories, the eyes I have inherited.
My mother was very much human.
I couldn't help but keep staring at her, she didn't even look like my own mother, and she looked like a completely different person. I started to freak out. How did this happen? How did Mom become human again and how come Dad glared at her? I went over to her and just wanted to hug her, but when I put my hand on her shoulder, my hand just slipped through, as if I was a ghost.
"Mom?" My voice was barely audible, but she couldn't hear me, in fact she was smiling to the girl across from her who was talking to her about their English teacher.
I started to tear up, and panic, a trait I got from my Mom.
It all started to make sense, how no one was answering my questions; it was because I was invisible to the world. No one could even see me or hear me. My breathing was becoming rapidly faster and I wanted nothing but to be home in my bed and wake up from this nightmare; but I couldn't.
I just stood next to Mom the rest of the lunch period staring at her but feeling someone staring at me, like I was crazy. I looked over to see it was my father, he was looking at me.
And I knew it was to me because his eyes were looking right into mine, like he does when he's trying really hard to find out if I'm lying to him or not. Could he see me?
Then the bell rang and everyone started to walk out until it was just me in silence. I knew this much; no one could see me and no one could hear my voice. My own mother and father couldn't hear or see me and everyone I cared deeply about. It was like I was dead, but to me I look just the same and very much alive.
After 15 minutes of sulking, I got up and started to walk around the school and went straight into my biology class that I would be normally having. Once I walked in I saw that it was the same biology teacher I had but he looked much younger. Then I walked in and there was my Mom and Dad assigned to sit right next to each other.
They never told me they had bio together! Or wait…did they?
I remember when I got my schedule and came home from the first day of school and showed everyone my class schedule…..
Everyone (including Jacob) was gathered around the living room anxiously waiting for me to tell them all about my first day of school.
"Renesmee, so how was school?" Dad asked.
"Good" I answered simply. They all gave me glares; obviously my answer wasn't satisfying enough.
"Let me see the schedule!!" Aunt Alice squealed with excitement.
I handed her the schedule and within moments she was in hysterical laughter. Everyone stared at her wondering what was so funny.
"What is it?" Mom asked
"Look who and when has biology.." Alice stated in a sing songy voice and handed her my schedule.
Mom looked at me and then Alice as she took the schedule. She looked through each of my classes and then her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Oh My Goodness…"
"What is it?" Now my father was intrigued at my schedule. He walked over to my mother and looked over her shoulder to read. His reaction was the same as Moms except him laughed.
"What's so funny!?" Jacob and I asked at the same time. Jacob was annoyed and ripped it out of my Moms hands and looked to see what the commotion was all about. He then, like my father broke into laughter.
"WHAT IS IT?!" I screamed.
"Renesmee, please tell me you don't sit next to a boy in bio." Jacob asked while placing his fingers between his temples.
"JACOB!" Mom and Dad screamed at the same time
Now I know what they mean. My parents were in the same bio class and teacher as me; this is where they met.
I sat down in the teacher's chair which was directly in front of my parents table and watched them the whole period. I always wanted to know what their first interaction was but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine my own father glaring with hatred at my mother; the woman he so desperately loves and cares about.
He sat there, looked at mom as if she was a meal, glaring at her with wild eyes. I looked closer to see his own eyes were black and then I knew, he was hungry and wanted Mom as his snack.
Then, to make matters worse, Mom look very uncomfortable at the sight of the strange boy next to her giving her weird looks. If I were her, I would have screamed "WHATS YOUR PROBLEM?!" but I knew that would do no good in a situation like this.
Once the bell rang, Dad was the first one to pop out of his seat and move on to his next class. I decided this time to just not go to my Spanish like I would normally, but to just go into the parking lot to clear my head. I went out into the parking lot and just sat there, soaking everything in for real, for the first time.
Somehow, my parent's first encounter was nothing like I thought it would be. I thought the reason they wouldn't tell me anything was because it was too embarrassing! But this, this was much worse than I could ever have imagined. There was no love at first sight, it was more hate.
Before I knew it, everyone was out of the parking lot and going into their cars.
Mom was the first person I saw. She looked exhausted and upset as she walked to a beaten up red truck. I never knew mom owned a red truck, I guess this is what she drove before she met dad. I sat at the steps of the school and watched her get into the car and drive away home. She was probably still thinking about biology with dad and trying to figure out his reaction.
Once she left, I got up and started heading home until I realized I didn't have a home, because I didn't exist yet. This thought made me crumble back into the ground and cry. Just at that moment it started to rain, perfect I thought. Here I was all alone, in therain and no one knew I was here. Everyone I loved couldn't see me or hear me.
I looked out into the parking lot and saw the only car left was a shiny silver Volvo in the corner, Dads car. What was his car still doing here?
"Who are you?"
I turned around to see the first person I laid eyes on when I was born and the last person I wanted to talk to.
Review! and tell me what you think! Give me ideas on what Edward should say to her, or how Renesmee should react to Edward!! REVIEW!!!!!
