A.N. I am reworking my old story. Hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything Twilight related.


Prologue

CPOV

My name is Carling. Well that's not my given name. Technically it's a variation of my middle name. My given name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen.

All I can remember since I was little was living in Italy. It's beautiful here, with all of the green trees and the friendly people. I live in Italy with the Volturi and I consider them my family. They have taken care of me and my younger brother since we were little. Aro and Sulpicia have adopted us as their own. Caius and Marcus have been uncles to us.

Of course we realized that these people aren't our birth family but they have been more of a family to us than any other people we have met. They had taken us in when we needed help the most and for that they would always have our allegiance.

My brother Zane and I were told the story of out adoption when I was around 7 years old. Zane and I sat around the warm crackling fireplace and listened to Aro tell the story that changed our lives forever.

*Flashback*

"Carling, Zane, when your father was enrolled at Forks High School he met a human girl named Bella." I felt my eyes widen; I'd never known that mom was a human when they had met. "He fell head over heels in love with her and soon they started dating. Soon she found out what he was endangering her life, for nobody could know that vampires existed and simply knowing was punishable by death"

I inhaled sharply in fear but tried to hide my feelings from Aro. Aro looked at me and grabbed my hand, smiling down at me. "It's alright little one, I didn't mean to scare you" I shook my head and grabbed Zane's hand with the hand Aro wasn't holding. Sulpicia who was sitting beside Aro sat down onto the floor and pulled Zane who was about 4 years old into her lap. "Soon your mother Bella and your father Edward got married. A little while after that, Bella became pregnant with you Carling."

"Daddy Aro, how did a vampire get a human pregnant?" I asked while staring into his eyes waiting for an answer.

"Honey no one knows how. It was a miracle. You are our little miracle vampire." Aro kissed my forehead.

"So does that make me half human, half vampire daddy?" Aro nodded his head. I stared at the ground and messed with the carpet strings.

"Dear" I looked up at the sound of my adoptive mother's voice. "That doesn't mean that we love you any less. It just means your extra special." Sulpicia pulled me into her lap with Zane.

"So to keep going with the story" Aro said growing impatient with all the interruptions. "Bella had you sweetheart but it almost killed her, so your father Edward had to turn Bella into a vampire." I nodded my head in understanding. "Then one day, we went to Washington to welcome the newest arrival to the Cullen Clan. When we arrived, Bella handed you over to us and told us to take you with us, because she didn't want you anymore."

Tears started leaking out of my eyes as Sulpicia squeezed me tighter. "So they didn't want me. They didn't love me? Was I a bad girl? Did I cause them too much trouble? Why didn't they want me daddy?"

"I don't know sweetheart, but one thing is for sure: your mother and I love you. We will always love you." Daddy Aro pulled me up into his lap as he continued the story.

"Then we came back to Italy and raised you as our own. Then, three years later, we got a letter letting us know that Zane was on his way here because they didn't want him either. He was too much of a hassle for them. So of course, your mother and I graciously took him in."

"Does that make Zane a full vampire?" Zane was making funny faces at our mother while she ticked his sides.

"Sort of, honey. He is full vampire, but he will age at a faster rate than humans till he turns 21 then he will stop again. Just like you" I nodded my head. "Don't you worry; you and Zane are destined to do great things, my little Carling!"

*End Flashback*

Now present day I have the appearance of a twenty-one year old human female, but I am really only ten years old. Zane has the appearance of a nineteen year old, though he is actually seven years old. We have lived in Italy for our entire lives.

Zane figured out his power a couple of years ago. He developed the power to stun people with his eyes, making them unable to move. My power after working with Aro also was evolving. Without touching someone I can put a picture into their minds of what I want them to do and they automatically do it. It's pretty much like mind control.

Aro also taught Zane and I hand-to-hand combat, so when we were old enough we could join the guard to help protect those we love. Zane was currently in the lead for best hand-to-hand fighter but with my power, no one stood a chance of getting close enough to hit me.

I also got engaged a few months ago to Alec. Alec was tall with black short cropped hair. He didnt smile often but when he does smile it took up most of his face and you could tell that his smile was genuine. He was serious most of the time and pretty closed off around people he didnt know but when we were alone it was like he let down a wall and he let me see the real him. When we were together we were without worries and it seemed like we could take on the world.

He is truly the love of my life. He makes me smile just by looking at him, or thinking about him. He makes me laugh and most of all he treats me with respect and makes me feel loved.

This is where the story begins.


Hope you all liked the prologue. Review and the next chapter will be up hopefully later today or tomorrow. Thanks so much to my beta reader Kay Marie 558 you are a life saver!
