hi everyone i appreciate all the reviews and i would love to know what you all think and what you would like to see happen in the next few chapters.


DARK SUNLIGHT

Empty

I've been feeling sad for a while. Empty inside. Like there was something missing. But I didn't know what it could be, or who it could be. I kept this feeling a secret from my family and friends. I knew if they found out they would try and think of a way to fix it. I hate so much how they meddle in my personal life, especially when I have no idea what's going on. I lay here in my large bed meant for two, thinking to myself what could be wrong. I know it's not a money problem. My parents are very wealthy. I also know it's not loneliness. I have many friends here in Seattle, I also have a very handsome and popular boyfriend his names Eric. He's not what most girls think. He treats me great out in public but when we're alone he treats me like I owe him my life. Maybe that could be the problem. Maybe I should just break up with him. Even though I've tried before and when I did he almost broke my arm… I think I'll just bare through the pain. If he's the problem that's causing this feeling then I'd gladly allow him to hurt me once so I won't have to live with all this pain for the rest of my life. I sure hope he's the problem and not something else. I turn to look at my night stand where my alarm clock sits.
2 hours left until school starts. I get up to look for my outfit of the day. I find some old jeans and a dark grey t-shirt. I decide on some worn out converse for shoes. I use to dress like this all the time but my over controlling boyfriend didn't want to be seen with a tomboy and has been forcing me to dress like a spoiled little white girl. Since I'm planning on leaving him so I don't bother to dress in what he wants. I look into my mirror to see the face of a pale freckled girl with long curly auburn hair and chocolate brown eyes. I turn to my alarm clock and see I still have more than an hour and a half till school. I jump into the shower and let the cold water hit my body. I don't mind the cold I'm use to it. As I get out of the shower I notice I have a txt from my friend Kat. "Rene r u awake?" I laugh at her question because I've been up all night thinking. I quickly reply to her. "Yea I've been awake for a while, why? Wats wrong?" as I hit send I sit on my bed putting on my socks and shoes. Literally 10 seconds later I get a reply. "U better get to school quick, I just saw Eric with Melissa." I feel my face

clench up in anger then I tell myself not to worry because I don't need him. "I don't need him anymore. I'm going to break up with him as soon as I see him today. I'll tell u about it later" I hit send and fall to bed. "Ughh!"I can't wait to leave him" I say to myself. As I finish getting ready for school I hear my parents talking. It's odd because at this time of day they are usually already at work. I run down stairs and listen in on their conversation. "I really think Reneseme needs to go visit Charlie, she needs to know her other grandfather like she knows Carlisle." Says Bella. "But Charlie doesn't know about our secret yet. It's going to be really strange when he sees a fully grown teenager when he was expecting to see a 10 year old little girl." Edward shouts. He walks over to the window and stares out at the sun. His skin shimmers and shines like a diamond as the sun's rays hit his face. Rene looks over to Bella and sees her tear up. Edward then walks back over to her and hugs her tightly. "I'm sorry Bella, I didn't mean to shout. We really need to find a better way to tell Charlie about us." He leans in and kisses her cheek. "I know but I don't want him having a heart attack and dying just because he finds outs his only daughter was turned into a vampire while she gave birth to his hybrid granddaughter. This is all just so much I don't think he'll be able to take it. Maybe we should just let him in on some of the secrets. Maybe just Renesmee first." Bella tells Edward. "Okay sure why not. But I think we need to tell Rene about this first before we send her off to Forks." Edward lets go of Bella and walks over near the stairs. Rene quickly and quietly runs back up the stairs to make it seem like she wasn't spying. "I know u were listening young lady." He smiles as he sees her come down. "Sorry daddy but I didn't know you were talking about me." she says as she walks to the fridge. "Well I'm pretty sure u heard what we were going to tell you. So how do u feel about going to Forks to meet Grandpa Charlie?" says Edward. I start to think about the question and feel like maybe a trip to Forks would be a good idea. Maybe it'll make things better and so I won't have to see Eric for while. I smile and look at my parents "Yes! I'd love to go meet Grandpa Charlie" I run over and hug them tight. "How long would I be able to stay with him?" I ask knowing it might not be for more than a few days. "Well since your summer vacation is coming up we were thinking of letting you spend it there with him. We'll drive you over there on your last day of school. Your uncle Jasper and aunt Alice will be staying back at the old house there so if u ever decide you've had enough you can just go be with them for a bit." Edward says as he wraps his arms around Bella's waist. I realize there's only 2 weeks left of school and that these last week's don't really matter since all the testing was finished last month. Maybe I can convince them to let me go to Forks this weekend. "How about we talk about this some more after school you're going to be late." Says Bella. I look at the clock.
7:55 "damn." I say to myself realizing I have only 10 mins to get to school before classes start. I run out the door with my back pack in hand and my keys to my Honda civic in my pocket. I jump into my car and race to school. I get there in less than 4 mins. I guess u can say I have a pretty fast car, my uncle Emmett has been working on it for a long time. He's been getting into cars ever since Aunt Rosalie was killed by the volturi for having killed all those men in her past. They've been real strict about this since I was born they have turned vegetarian like the rest of my family and have been punishing all who disobey the rules.
I get to the parking lot of the school when I see Eric with his arm around that skank Melissa. I get out of the car and he sees me and quickly lets go of Melissa and runs over to me. "Baby it's not what it looks like I was just resting my arm on her shoulder." He says. I roll my eyes at him and walk off. "Hey wait I wasn't done talking to you!" he grabs my arm and pulls me over behind a tree. Sometimes I wish I was as strong as my parents, I think to myself. I look at him as he tries to kiss my neck, I push him off and he swings at me and misses. "Listen Eric I think it's time things ended between us." I say with a tense serious voice. "Why? I'm a good boyfriend to you and everyone knows it. You're the unfaithful one who treats me like shit!" I raise my hand to slap him but before my hand gets near him he grabs it and twists it. "Ahhh! Stop!" I yell. "Shut up bitch before someone hears you!" he covers my mouth with his other hand. "Listen you aren't leaving me we're staying together until I say so." I try to scream for help but I hear nothing come out. Then I bite his hand as hard as I can. "FUCKK! You bitch why the hell did u bite me?!" he yells. I hear someone run over near us. It's Kat and her bother Scout. "What's going on? What did u do to Rene!?" says Kat. "Nothing I did nothing she bit my hand!" Eric says. "Well what did u do to make her bite u?" asks Scout. "I bit him because he had twisted my arm and I screamed so he covered my mouth so no one would hear." I say. "Wtf man why were u trying to hurt her?" scout asks him. I look at Scout and tell him all that I happened and what I said to him. Eric then runs off.
"I'm in so much pain." I say to Kat as we walk to the school building. "Want to go to the nurse's office?" she asks. "Sure I don't feel like going to class anyways." So we walk to the nurse's office and tell her all that happened earlier. She called the principal in the room and then he called Eric to his office. They quickly suspended him and called my parents to the school to pick me up.
My parents quickly race to the school and demand Eric be expelled. The principal then agrees to it and expels him from the school. It's like the best day ever. Even though I got hurt it was still a pretty good day. I broke up with my abusing boyfriend and I got to leave school early. On our way home I asked my parents if they'd let me leave to Forks this weekend. "Now Rene are you sure u want to go to Forks with that cast on your arm?" asks Edward. I start to remember how a few years back I broke my leg and it healed 2 days later. Grandpa Carlisle said that since I'm a hybrid I heal quicker than humans but yet much slower than vampires. So I just take the cast off knowing I'm probably almost healed since my arm wasn't really broken. "Yea dad I think I'll be ok by then." "Okay if you're sure than u can start packing as soon as we get to the house." He says back to Rene. They get home mins later. I run up to my room and grab all of my suitcases out of the closet and start to pack my things. So I grab all my best clothes and pack them into my suitcases. I'm at my last suitcase when I remember I should probably pack a swim suit or two cause mom told me about how her and some of her friends went to some beach nearby on a reserve. "Rene! Come down stairs." I hear my mom call for me. I run down to the living room as quick as I can. "Yeah mom?" I look at her with excitement knowing it might be good news. "We've called Charlie and he knows we're going over there to drop u off for the summer. He sounded very excited. He's looking forward to seeing you." I jump up and down with excitement about getting to meet my grandpa Charlie for the first time. My mom has told me so many stories about him and how she spent a few summers there and how she met my father when she started school there.
Later that night I laid in bed wide awake thinking about how it's going to be meeting my grandpa. Also how he's going to react to me being a hybrid human vampire. He still doesn't know about mom being a full vampire and how I'm 17 when I should be 10. Since I'm kind of short and thin he might just think I have precocious puberty or something. I know I'm going to have to be to the one to tell him the news. I just hope he doesn't over react and pass out. I later fall asleep around 12:30 but don't sleep too long. I don't need as much sleep as a human either. I can last on 4 hours of sleep for just a week. I choose to sleep more just in case I need it. I wake up around 3:00 and start to think about how I was feeling the day before. How I was feeling empty and sad. For some reason I feel the same. I don't feel any better. I thought leaving Eric would make everything better. Yet I still feel this emptiness inside. Hopefully my trip to Forks will make things better. Maybe I'll find my soul mate there like mom found hers. Maybe I'll be happier being away from here. Or maybe it'll just make things worse. I feel myself fall back asleep. I wake up and its 8:30 in the morning. "Ughh!" I say to feels like it's only been 15 mins. I get up out of bed and run down stairs to see my parents loading my dad's Volvo with my things. "Hey sweetie I thought you'd never wake up." Says my dad. "Sorry I had a lot on my mind last night and couldn't sleep." I say. "That's alright honey, just go get ready we're leaving in an hour. It's going to be a three and a half hour drive from here to Forks." I run back up to my room and get dressed in something comfortable like some sweats and a long sleeve shirt. I decide to wear these new Ugg shoes my aunt Alice sent me for my birthday last year. I hadn't worn them before because I thought there were a bit hideous but I think it wouldn't hurt to wear them for the trip to Forks.
I lay in the back seat of the car trying to get some more rest. It's unusual for me to actually be this tired. I wake up to what seems to feel like hours later to find we are stuck in traffic. Its only 11:00 and we're still so far from Forks. "I bet I could get to Forks faster than this by running." I say to myself. Even though I'm only half vampire I can still run pretty fast. Not as fast as anyone in my family but fast enough for it to seem inhuman. "We'll be there soon don't you worry." My mom says. I completely forgot how sensitive their hearing is and they can hear all I say to myself and that my dad can also read my mind. I've learned to use my special gift to block him from reading my mind when I wanted. I inherited some of my mom's special ability just a few years ago. I'm the only one in the known vampire world to have more than one gift. My grandpa Carlisle says it's because I'm a hybrid and that much of what I can and can't do is because of it. Sometimes I wish I were all human. That way I wouldn't have to deal with having to keep secrets from my human family. I feel bad at times not getting to know my mother's family as well as I know my dad's. I sigh and then look up and realized we've started to move again. "Thank god!" I say. "It feels like we've been here forever I'm so glad we're moving now." "What are you talking about? You've been asleep almost the entire time we've been in traffic." dad says. "Sorry dad I'm just so ready to get to Forks and see Grandpa Charlie." The ride from there went by pretty quick we were in Forks in like an hour and a half. I was so excited.
