Renesmee woke in a frenzy looking around for whatever had made the noise. She wasn't sure why but she had the sensation that she was in danger. She'd been getting those feelings since she'd left home. But what did she have to fear? She was a half vampire. She was stronger than any human and

faster too, the only thing she had to fear was...

Another vampire.

She shook her head this was sunny, sunny L.A. I t was hardly ever cloudy here too much sun for a full vampire to live. The sun would make a full vampire sparkle, and there was only five other half vampires. At least that she knew of. Her mother Isabella (A.k.a Bella) Had told her that she'd met only one of the other four. He was the youngest of three girls and his father had been making a half vampire army. They might be a problem...

but would they go anywhere without their father?

Renesmee sat up in bed, looking out the window she saw nothing but humid black streets. The tall older fashioned building glared down menacingly, through the small square window. She missed the sound of her parents in the next room. There wasn't one in her small one roomed apartment. She missed the room back home. She missed the forest and the big double pained window that looked down on the forest in forks. She missed the sound of rain on her roof and window. And she missed the sound of her parents 'playing' in the next room.

They always forgot that she had vampire senses and could hear them. The sounds had been comforting to her though. The sound of laughter and whispering, it was those sounds that she missed. She missed her vampire grandparents and her human ones two, her vampire aunts and uncles. But she really missed Jacob the sound of his laughter and his voice his smell, and...

Renesmee shook her head. She couldn't think of this not now. She needed to get through this, she wanted to prove that she could make it on her own. She couldn't return home empty handed with her tail tucked between her legs she needed to keep trying. She sighed, she had a few hours left to sleep before her classes started then she be up late tonight working at the coffee shop. She couldn't stand that Jasper, and Alice could go off and live outside the coven, Rosalie and Emmet also left home too. She was going to to live on her own too she didn't want to spend forever living off her family like a parasite. She didn't even need blood and she decided to be a vegetarian when she was younger. Not living off of another creatures death was nice for someone of her race.

Two hours later

Renesmee was up and dressed heading towards her first class at the university she was attending. She looked up at the formidable structures of the city. She wasn't happy in fact she was ready to cry at the slightest touch. She was hungry, the thirst she felt every now and then was bothering her and she missed her mother and Jacob. Fortunately she wasn't facing anyone who's blood really called to her or she would be in trouble. She thought about her misery as she trudged through the streets of L.A. it was still fairly if she was a human girl she'd call a cab of take a buss but she wasn't human so she took the only pleasure of her day and walked through the cooler slightly dark street.

She was turning a corner in the direction she needed to go in when it hit her. It was like a freight train and a bus and a whole lot of other heavy stuff fell from the top of the stratosphere. It almost knocked her over, but as she was falling backward she was pulled back up right by whatever it was that had hit her. She was standing face to face with a teenage boy about her height. He was human with dark brown hair and eyes and palely tanned skin. He looked at her in surprise at first and then let go of her arm as if her arm was fire. He backed away looking around subtly hiding the movement as much as he could. He looked nervous then the sound of something from behind him made him jump he looked back then at Renesmee. The next thing She knew he was dragging her in the opposite direction from where she needed to go. Back the way She'd came.

"Wait! leg go." Renesmee shrieked scratching at the teenagers arm. At first she'd thought he was human. He didn't smell like a vampire or a half-vampire. He didn't Smell like an animal either. He smelt good, like food good, human. "Let go," Renesmee said desperately. He wasn't weak like a normal human he had the same strength that Emmet had. He easily dragged her along at a quick pace he pushed her into an early opening shop and pulled her to the back where they stood looking at the cold drinks. He pulled her close uncomfortably close. Renesmee look twenty-four and this kid looked sixteen. he couldn't be sixteen the amount of strength he showed was too much for a sixteen year old human. "Let go," Renesmee whispered pleadingly.

"Shush!" the boy hissed looking at the glass intently Renesmee looked at the glass hopefully. In the glass she saw a very tall scary looking vampire. He radiated power, old power, dark power. Renesmee was sure that his power was intimidation or something worse. The boy looked at the man in the reflection like he wanted to gut him and then some other violent things that were worthy of that scream movie.

"Who's that?" Renesmee asked the boy.

"Shush," the boy said softer now, the man left the store as if he couldn't smell his quarry here. "Sorry," the boy said releasing her arm. "I just needed a cover sent." the boy said looking at her apologetically.

"Um- It's okay I guess," Renesmee said. She could understand. Then something hit her is this boy running from the volturi. Renesmee had never seen any of the volturi. But her mother had described them to her once what they looked like and their powers, but this man didn't seem like Dominic the volturi tracker. For one he missed his target by a mile. "So who was that?" Renesmee asked trying to act natural.

"That jerk?' the boy asked gesturing toward the vacant doorway of the early bird shop. "I don't think I know his name. I get a lot of jerks like that." he smiled at her. "Well see ya," he waved leaving her side. "Sorry I messed up your day." He waved as he left the store and then he was gone. leaving Renesmee alone wondering what that was all about.

Renesmee trekked through her usual day missing her home in the woods. She kept to the side out of the way of other people. She ended her classed struggling and went to the cafe that she worked at after classes. She was at the end of her shift when she saw him the boy from that morning. This time he was with two girls one his age and the other six or seven. She looked at the trio as the scuttled into the corner of the cafe close to the window but at an angle that made it impossible to see them from it. She knew she'd ducked in there to avoid someone she'd thought she'd known. They looked around as if they expected to get attacked at any moment. The little girl pulled something out of her pocket. The way she held it made it seem like some kind of weapon, at least Renesmee thought.

The older girl was pale, with dark straight brown hair that fell to her knees her eyes were an oddly bright color Renesmee couldn't put a name to it wasn't a green or a blue or red. Whenever Renesmee thought she figured it out she found that it didn't quiet match what she thought. She had small delicate features that seemed to scream breakable. She looked tired and her hair was a little matted and dirty along with her cloths.

The boy he looked the same as before, tired, haggard, restless and a little brooding. His brown hair was singed at some of it's ends like it had been burned and he hadn't bothered to clean it up. It was dirty as well as his cloths. He looked around fierce the most ready to fight of the three.

The little girl was small, had curly black hair and royal blue eyes with thick lashes. She was around six and very cute. Even though she was dirty and her dress looked a little torn. She only had one shoe the sock on her other foot stained black. She looked around innocently and twirled the object in her hand around and around, so fast that even Renesmee's eyes couldn't catch it. For a second Renesmee thought she might be a vampire child but the boy was human and upon approaching the table she found that she smelt very human. The other girl on the other hand smelt like Renesmee at least with the food and perfume smell.

The older girl looked up with large liquid, electric eyes that were almost purple but then weren't. Her eyes were wide as if she expected to be attacked but she moved deliberately slow normal, her eyes were to only thing that gave her away.

"Hello," The girl asked, her voice was slightly husky, but very pretty all the same almost like a song.

"May I take your order?" Renesmee asked looking at the three. Other patrons were giving them dirty looks and Renesmee couldn't fathom why. They were a pair of teenagers with their younger siblings or child they'd come in to order water after their game. Of course Renesmee knew that might not be true, but it also very well could be. The three at the table looked up at her, at each other at the other people in the cafe and then back at her.

"Water," said the little girl.

"Water," Said the young male.

"Water," Said the older girl.

"Three-water," Renesmee said smiling. "Anything else."

"Do you sell sandwiches?" asked the little girl. Renesmee nodded.

"How much are they?" asked the older girl.

"3.50 each," Renesmee answered. The two girls looked at the boy, who pulled out a bag from his pocket it had a little money in it. He nodded.

"Three sandwiches please," he asked politely.

"Three... sand...wiches," Renesmee pronounced as she wrote it down. "what kind of bread?" She asked.

"Not sour dough," the three said at once.

"Whatever fine," The boy elaborated.

"Wheat..." Renesmee pronounced the healthiest choice.

"Thank you," The three said at once.

"I'll be right back with your order." Renesmee answered.

The door opened again this time letting in a big man with dark greasy hair. He was big with large bulging muscles. He had Five o'clock shadow and some hairs on his chin, he wore a black suit with a button up white shirt under the dress coat these were all sloppily put of showing his hairy musculus arms. He looked ridiculous to Renesmee almost like an ape. The three kids at the table in front of her all looked away from him and subtly covered their faces hiding them from the man. He sat across form them and just looked at them angrily like he wanted to tear them limb from to limb. She didn't understand that look but she politely went over to take his order since she was the only one in at the moment.

He looked up at her with cold empty black eyes. No it was his pupils they were dilated so much that they had almost obliterated his irises. Renesmee tried not to shiver as she took the mans order. Then she went back to the place where she fixed the orders.

The night went on like that, the kids ordered two more sets of sandwiches and eat them slowly. The man ordered cup after cup of coffee glaring at the kids. It went through the last rush hour of the day and then there they were again, Renesmee ended up the last to leave she needed the extra pay and didn't have time in the rest of her day. The last customers besides the kids and the man slipped out into the night.

After an hour or two after the last patron lest the man finally stood up looking at the kids across the cafe. Renesmee thanked him for coming and said she wished he'd return even though she didn't. He creeped her out the way he watched the kids without blinking like they were his pray and with those eyes that were now nearly all pupil and almost nothing more.

It happened just before closing time.
