Twilight rocks! But I hated the way that Breaking Dawn ended. Oooh happily ever after! Great! But what happens to Renesmee? That's what I've wanted to know for how long. I've thought about what happened after Renesmee stopped aging when she was like six years old. So here it is! This is eight years after Renesmee was born, she's like a teenager, looks like she's sixteen maybe seventeen years old. She and the Cullen's are living in a small town in Canada called Rockwell, but it looks like she might have to be leaving Canada and go back to the states soon in the story. Heehee! Here's her story…
I watched the water flow down the creek. It was peaceful, watching and hearing the naturalness of the water. I was amazed at how human I felt right now, and I didn't even have to worry about the big things like trying to behave like either a vamp or a human. I could just be whatever here. There was no one else in this world. I was one of the few that could actually sleep, and dream like this. Half of my kind—the vampire half—couldn't sleep, because there was no need for sleep. They were immortal. They could live forever and now have to worry about the little things. The other half—my human half—required sleep. The slept in order to gain strength, which vamps already had enough of. They lived and died with having no choice but to sometimes worry about the little things. Eating, going to the bathroom, sleeping, watching their weight, keeping themselves healthy and safe. Half my world only required some of those things. I was half human, and half vampire. Not impossible, but not popular.
As far as I knew there were only a few of my kind out in the world. You were either human, or you were a vampire, but rarely both. Human and vampire love wasn't a common thing. In stories and movies you hear about, yes there are always talk of vampires and human falling in love, but in the real world…I was one of the rare ones created by that uncommon combination. My parents were completely in love, even though they were completely different races. She was human, he was the vamp. I was made by that. I was the rare breed. The hybrid. The freak…
Now I sit in this dream, that I was able to create with sleep. Staring at the beautiful scenery. Able to escape reality for a while. While I was also able to do whatever I wanted, and I could control my dreams. They rarely ran wild like a human's dream would. I was strong enough to control my mind, even in slumber. Humans would come up with the wildest things to think about when asleep. So I hear. My mother—who I have to call Bella around the pale faces—would tell me about her human memories. And most of them would be about the little things that their kind can do. Like control their thoughts.
And even though I'm half of them, I'm still stronger than them. I'm even stronger than most vampires too. I'm like a new born—a newly created vampire—and I will always remain like a new born, in strength like anyway. Blood did and always will run through my veins. It gave me the strength vampires needed. I didn't need to hunt as often as the others did. I already had the all the blood I needed.
I didn't hunt in my dreams. Even though I could if I'd like, though it would do anything for me when I woke up. Most of my dreams revolved around animals and nature, but it was when I was just admiring them. I'd sit cross legged on a rock, like I was now. And imagine different things that humans never really thought about. I'd seen things that humans couldn't see with the naked eye. It was what I loved about being a vampire.
"So what don't you like about being a vampire, Renesmee?" My human self asked me. She was the only thing I couldn't control when I was asleep. She visited me often, along with my vampire me. I turned to see her walking up along the creek toward me. She had my same appearance, but she looked more restless, and valuable. She was weak and more gullible. She's what I feared about my human side. I was half weak and naïve. I was half of her.
"I don't know…many things." I replied. I uncrossed my legs and stared at myself. "I don't like being a monster."
"A monster!" That would be my vampire self coming out to play. She appeared right beside me in speed that was shocking to most humans, but normal to me. She looked just like human Renesmee, except that was shockingly beautiful. She had the hard beautiful skin that all vampires had, the skin that was made out of diamonds, and glittered in the sun. The reason vampires couldn't go out in the sun in public. It would attract the human eye. She looked so strong too. She looked smart and powerful. Though she also looked scary, and somewhat evil…and monstrous. I was also half of that.
"There's nothing wrong with participating in a few hunting activities and acting like your natural self. This is the hand you were given. There's no need for bargaining." She hopped up on the rock that was sitting on and leaned in to whisper in my ear. "Why be a weak fragile thing like her when you can own it all…like me." She chuckled and glared at the human. I scooted away from her and looked at human me. She looked so scared. She did look fragile. She looked away from the vampires glare. I felt so bad for her. I wanted to comfort her and tell her everything would be okay. But what good would that do. I would just be talking to myself. And even I didn't know if everything would be okay. What good would telling myself that I didn't need to be scared, when the truth was…I was terrified of myself.
I glared at the vampire. "Why take a bad hand when you can always trade it in to become better?" I asked getting up from the rock. I started toward human Renesmee. "I've learned better then to take what wasn't offered to me."
Vampire Renesmee followed me. "But you were offered a chance at a better life. Stop obsessing over those pests and hunt the way you were made to."
"I am half of those so called 'pests'" I shot back.
"You could get rid of that weak part of you." I looked back at me.
"What do you mean?"
"You could become a full vamp."
"Don't listen to her!" My human self begged. She walked the rest of the way over to me. "She's a monster. She's blood crazed parasite that—"
"Shut up you little vermin!" The vampire grabbed the human by the throat. The weaker me looked so frightened that I had no choice but to help her.
"Let go of her." The vampire didn't listen to me. "Let go of her…or I'll destroy the vampire part of me." That got her attention.
"And how do you prepare to do that."
I lifted my chin. "Well if there's a way to destroy my human soul, I'm sure there'll be a way to destroy my vampire soul."
She chuckled. "Vampires don't have souls. You wouldn't be able to destroy a soul you didn't have." She let go of the human and turned back to me. Human me feel to the ground with a little gasp and cry slipping from her lips. "You'd have to kill yourself. But that'd just be killing all of us." She looked down at the human, who was now curled up in a little ball on the ground.
"It'd be a risk I'd be willing to take." Vampire me scowled.
"That's just you're pathetic human head thinking." She turned and headed toward the creek. I watched her jump over the twenty foot wide creek—but of course even I could that—and make her way into the forest that I had put there. She disappeared into the darkness. I was glad she was gone. I looked down at the human. She looked up at me. I knelt down and took her arm to lift her up. I held her in my arms.
"Are you okay?" She nodded and asked for me to put her back on the ground. Confused, I layed her back down. I watched her breath, her chest rising and falling. She was still sacred, I could tell.
"I won't destroy you," I told her. Hoping that would comfort her some.
"I know."
"Then why are you still scared." She looked up at me, just as a tear ran down her cheek.
"Because she is right."
"Like hell she is!"
"No Renesmee. I don't mean about the rights to kills humans." My brows bushed together.
"Then what is she right about?" She looked hesitant about answering. Then she said, "She's right about you're—our soul." About my human and vampire souls. That I could destroy the rest of my human soul, but I could never destroy my vampire one. I could never have the choice of becoming a regular human. I couldn't become a human. Half my soul was already gone.
"You'll never be able to have a human life."
I nodded. "I know."
"You can become a full vampire, but I'm always going to be just a small part of your life that doesn't even matter."
I shook my head. "You're wrong."
"You might as well destroy me now."
"No. I said I wouldn't, and I intend to go by my words."
"But why?" Why? Why wouldn't I destroy her? That was a good question. And I had the perfect answer.
"Because you're the controlling part of me. You're the part of me that I can still rely on that wont get me killed."
She nodded. Probably still feeling that whole monster-calling-my-name feeling. "I get that." Then she looked around, I could see what she was watching. Everything was fading. I was waking up.
"You're leaving me?"
"I'll be back," I promised. I gave her a gifted smile and saw that she nodded and smiled back before she and everything else disappeared…
Next thing I knew, I was back in my dark bedroom. I sat up in bed and looked around. I rubbed my eyes. I had left her when she needed me most. I had betrayed a part of myself. I was still disoriented from the dream. It would've been so much better if I could've stayed there to talk to her, to get to know my human self, to assure her that I wasn't planning to give up my human life. What little human life I had.
I sighed. Then my door opened and light spilled into my room. It shined right on me. I squinted and tried to make out the figure standing in my doorway.
"I thought I heard you waking up." It was a male's voice. It was my dad's voice. Of course in front of the pale faces, he was what I called my brother Edward. He had heard me with his super vamp hearing that I had waken up from sleeping. Or maybe he saw that I was waking up when he was reading my mind and my dream was vanishing before.
"Uh…yeah. I…"
"Had a bad dream…I know." I hated the fact that he could read my mind when I didn't want him to.
Could you for like once not read my mind?
He chuckled. "Well then I wouldn't have been able to hear you ask me that."
You know what I mean.
"Yes. I know what you mean." He came to sit on my bed. His expression suddenly not amused anymore. "And I saw what you were dreaming about."
Of course you did. That statement wasn't really meant for him, but I knew he had picked it up.
"Would you like to talk about it?"
Not really. He sighed.
"They're still bothering you?" He was only one who knew about the visits from my half selves.
They're just dreams. He nodded.
The vampire still gives me problems, but I'm starting to like that human. Why is that?
"I'm not sure." I shrugged at his answer.
Where's mom?
"Downstairs with the others. They're talking about a few things, that…now that you're awake, you're going to want to hear." He got up and went to the door in one swift movement. Then he turned back to me. "Come on." I got up and went to the door.
What are they talking about?
"You'll find out when we get down there." We started down the stairs.
Helpful. I threw at him. He shrugged as we made it downstairs. Then, right when we entered the room where the rest of vampire family was, everyone else abruptly stopped talking about whatever they were talking about before I came down and looked at me.
What's going on? I tried asking my dad. He didn't say anything…so I took it as not a good sign.
Dun dun duuuuuun! What's going on? That was that last thing Nessie was thinking before I threw in the big cliff hanger. Aren't I just greatest person? Lmao. Okay so I'll try to update and put in Chpt two as soon as I can, but I'm working on another story for a different book series and that one is going really great so far so it maybe a little bit before I work on this story…considering back to school is in just two more days for me, it's going to be even harder. Srry.
But please review!
