Setting Sun

Chapter 1

Imagine going to school with your parents who look more like your siblings. Imagine your aunts and uncles accompanying you. Plus, they're all vampires. And me… I'm half-vampire, half-human.

Welcome to the life of me, Renesmee Carlie Cullen.

Now we journey into 2108, where nothing has changed except more advanced technology, environment cautions, and fashion.

Wearing Converse and a simple white t-shirt and jeans, I fast-walked up the stairs to Forks High School. It was safe for me and my family to attend here now that everyone we knew was dead. My mom took Charlie and Renee's death hard, but she's slowly improving.

"Nessie," called a husky voice. I whipped around threw my arms around Jacob Black, my "boyfriend" who was immortal too as long as he changed into his wolf-form occasionally.

"Break it up, c'mon," yelled my uncle Emmett teasingly. I smirked but blushed as well.

"Sorry Unc—I mean, Emmett." Just the night before all of our first day of school, I was told to call everyone by their first name, including my parents. I thought this was hilarious.

"Renesmee," called the voice of Alice, my aunt who could glimpse the future. "Do you love me?"

"Yes, Alice," I said surprised.

"Then why didn't you let me dress you this morning?" she sniffled.

"Reminds me of when Alice said that to me," said my mom, Bella, and everyone but me laughed, including Jake.

"Let's go get our schedules," suggested Rosalie. We set off toward the office, my mind flooding with the "rules" I had to follow:

1. Do not betray the vampire secret.

2. Call all family by their first names.

3. Don't use my power.

Easy enough, right?

How very wrong I was.

"Class!" barked my crabby fourth period teacher. "We have some new students! Introduce yourselves!"

I stepped forward nervously. "Umm… hi. I'm Renesmee Cullen, but some people just call me Nessie."

"I'm Edward Cullen," said my dad.

"Bella Cullen," said my mom. What a joy to have your parents in your Biology class. Worse, my parents were holding hands like a married couple (even though they were) in front of everyone!

"Alright…Edward, Bella, take the seats in the far right corner. Renesmee, next to Farid, towards the middle," shouted the teacher to us. I hadn't bothered to learn her name when she told me. Who really cared about school anyways?

I slumped all the way to my seat, dragging myself forward. I sat down, but I perked up instantly in fear. I took a quiet sniff.

There was a vampire other than my parents in here, sitting behind me. I slowly turned around to get a good look at him.

Crimson, blood-red eyes met my gaze.

The class couldn't have been over sooner. As soon as the bell rang I darted over to my mom and dad. "Mom, Dad… I mean Bella, Edward, did you smell the other vampire in here?" I asked in a whispered tone. I knew before they answered they did.

"I did, and I also got to read his mind," growled Edward, looking angry as he clutched Bella's hand.

"What was he thinking?" Bella pondered aloud to Edward.

"He knows we are different, that we've befriended wolves (Jacob's smell on Nessie), our eyes are topaz, and he's also wondering what Renesmee is. He knows she's not full vampire," Edward recited at tip-top speed.

"His eyes are crimson," I added before I couldn't speak, "I turned around and red eyes met mine. He (of course) feeds on human blood, but why is he at a school—"

"—full of human children with blood?" finished Edward. I fell silent. Duh.

"You three, hurry up to lunch!" barked the teacher. What a female dog.

I felt that all eyes were on us at lunch. The guy I sit next to in Biology, Farid, and his friends were starring at us. No doubt looking at Aunt Rosalie, by far the most beautiful of us all. Farid caught my eyes briefly, blushed, and looked away. I was curious. Could he like me?

I think Jake sensed this, for he then put his arm around me and laughed loudly. Farid turned back around and glared at Jake. I barely acknowledged this because the crimson-eyed vampire whipped around and hissed lowly. Jake quickly turned his head in that direction and growled lowly in return. He tightened his grip around my shoulder. Edward heard this and sat still, trying to read the Red Eyes' mind I bet.

"Jacob, take Renesmee outside," my father hissed into Jake's ear. "He's going to come and talk to us."

"C'mon Nessie," ushered Jake, and I obliged. I was not in the mood to see this.
