Ok this was supposed to be a one shot but then it got too long so I'm changing it to a two-shot, it's in Nessie's point of view and it's basically how she tries to make her fairytale ending come true. Oh and the SethxNessie-you can blame HM Grayson's story She Hates Me for that! That story is amazing, if you haven't read it yet-what is wrong with you? I'm am extremely sorry if that sounded rude :D Oh and I don't own Twilight.
Fairytale Ending
When I was five my mother decided it was time for me to enjoy some old story book classics-fairytales. Fairytales like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. That was the first time I ever thought about having a fairytale ending, and making it come true.
"…and they all lived happily ever after. The end," Mommy had just finished reading Cinderella to me before bedtime, "Well Renessme, did you enjoy it?"
I nodded, but, "But what about the step sisters and step mother, they didn't get a happy ending, so it's hardly fair to say that they all lived happily ever after."
"Well they were evil so they don't deserve a happily ever after don't you think?"
"Mommy when you got your happily ever after were there some people that didn't get theirs?" I asked eager to know what she thought.
"Of course not, everybody got a happily ever after, you made that possible-everybody loves you!" As much as I loved knowing that my family would always love me, that wasn't the answer I wanted to hear.
"What about Leah Clearwater?"
"What about her?"
"She didn't get her happy ending did she?"
Mother frowned at this, according to Daddy they weren't on the best of terms, which was funny because they were practically step sisters what with Grandpa dating Leah's mom. Still I could understand why Mommy was a bit afraid of Leah, she was scary sometimes. I've met her quite often because Jacob and Seth are always around.
"Well Renesmee, you have to look at it this way, Leah got to be the Beta. That's a big step up for her, so yes I would say that even she got her happy ending when I got mine."
"Well she'll get a better happy ending in my fairytale," I declared.
"Oh really? And why is that sweetie?"
"Because my fairytale ending will be perfect for everyone!"
"Oh and what is your fairytale ending? Are you going to marry Jacob?" Mommy asked while tucking me under the bed covers. I could tell that she was hopeful about it, what with Jacob being my imprint, and it would only add to her happiness. But it wouldn't make Leah happy.
"Silly Mommy, I'm not going to marry Jacob! Leah is. And I am going to marry Seth, that's my fairytale ending." My mother frowned at this again while stepping out of my room.
"Well Mommy? Isn't it perfect?"
"Yes Renesmee, it's perfect." I could tell by her tone that she didn't like it too much, but either way that day I decided that I would make my fairytale ending come true.
When I was seven I decided to put my plan into action. First thing was first though; I had to find out how Jacob and Leah really felt about each other. Luckily they were both coming over today with Seth, so I could ask them then.
I was playing dolls with Jacob when I finally had the courage to ask.
"Jacob, are you in love with Leah?" Leah snorted on the couch next to her brother, who along with the rest of the room seemed stunned by my question.
"Look Nessie," Leah started-she hated using my real name, "Jacob is your imprint, which means he will love only you. Yes I know it's a tragedy that you're stuck with Jake, but hey life goes on so I guess you have to deal with it."
"Thanks Leah," Jacob responded sarcastically, "Look Nessie, despite Leah's wonderful words about me" "nothing but the truth Jake" Leah interrupted, at which Jacob glared. "She's right; you are my imprint so I can only love you." He finished smiling.
"You make it sound like an obligation," I responded.
"It's not! I just meant that, well, okay look at it this way, I may not love you now as a wife or girlfriend or whatever, but some day I will."
"You don't know that for sure."
"Yes we do," Leah interrupted that conversation again.
"No you don't, but I'm ignoring that. Say you didn't imprint on me, would you love Leah then?"
"Of course not- she's well she's Leah."
"Fine. How about you Leah? If it weren't for the imprint would you love Jacob?"
"Ha love Jacob! That's a good one, as if!"
They seemed to have the final word in the conversation as everyone resumed their business, but I couldn't help but notice how they both avoided looking at me when they said they didn't love the other.
By the time I was eight I couldn't help but be more curious about what an imprint was, so I asked.
"I still don't understand it," I blurted out one day when the wolf pack was at the main house for lunch.
"Understand what Nessie?" Jacob asked.
"Why do you imprint?"
"We imprint to find our soul mates," he answered, with Quil and Embry nodding eagerly as they inhaled the food Esme had made.
"But then why would Quil imprint on a two year old and you on a new born?"
"Well it's not like we'll be dating the babies, we'll be whatever they need, a brother, protector, best friend and eventually boyfriend."
"What if I don't need a boyfriend?"
"Then we will all be very happy Renesmee, trust me," my father answered. I giggled at my father's over protectiveness.
"But seriously, what happens if I don't want Jacob like that? I mean I don't now and I doubt I ever will."
"You say that now, but your mind will change later on," Leah answered, a certain bitterness to it at which Jacob shot her a look.
"But still…" I persisted.
"Then you and Jake will stay great friends, don't worry Ness, nothing bad can happen if you decide you're not in love with Jake," Seth spoke this time. Once again my father agreed.
"It's true Nessie, no matter what nothing bad can happen."
I looked to Jacob who immediately wrapped me in is arms because it was what I needed, "Don't worry Nessie," he whispered in my ear, not that it made a difference since everyone could still hear-Leah was proof of that.
"Yeah don't worry Nessie; sure you don't like him now-not that I could blame you, I mean look at him! You'll feel something for him later on."
I couldn't help but think what would happen if Leah was wrong.
At age eleven I decided to take a break from Leah and Jacob's fairytale ending and focus on my own. The one where I end up marrying Seth. I got my chance to put that part into action when he was babysitting one day.
Technically speaking Emmett was supposed to be babysitting me while my parents and family were away hunting and Jacob and Leah were at a council meeting. But Seth came over and Emmett took that as an excuse to whisk Rosalie away upstairs, fortunately I liked spending time with Seth.
He was twirling me around in the backyard until he couldn't any more and we ended up falling to the ground with me beside him, both of us still laughing. Once the laughter died down I stared at him.
"What?" he asked.
"Nothing."
"Nessie, I know you better than that, what're you thinking about?"
"Leah and Jacob," I lied quickly.
"What about them?"
"They're in love with each other aren't they?"
"I don't know Nessie," he sighed.
"Well they would be in love if Jacob hadn't imprinted on me, now he has to love me," I said bitterly.
He stared at me for good little while until speaking again, "Not necessarily. Nobody actually knows what an imprint means."
"But then why would Jacob say that it means finding a soul mate?"
"That was what Sam told us, but I don't necessarily believe it."
"Then what do you believe?"
"Don't know, but part of me thinks that Sam only said that because he felt bad about leaving Leah when Emily came around. Not all of the imprints work out perfectly, but when you look at it most have a good result."
"Like?"
"Well, Kim was in love with Jared forever and she was finally happy when he imprinted on her, and Paul imprinting on Rachel got her to stay and that made Billy happy, Quil imprinted on Claire so her family moved down to La Push like Emily had been begging them to do forever and Jake imprinting on you stopped the pack from killing your family"
"What about Sam?"
"I don't really have a reason for that but I guess it helped Leah turn into a wolf."
"Sounds to me like that's the reason why she's so depressed all the time," I had often heard her and Rosalie talking about not being able to have kids, it was Rosalie loved me as her own, "What good did it do turning her into a wolf?"
"I don't know, Jacob got an amazing Beta out of it?" I laughed at that.
"Glad I can make you so happy, now why don't you tell me what you were really thinking?"
"How did you know I was lying?"
"One you're a terrible liar, two-I can read people easily, now what were you thinking about?"
"Well…I'm getting older and I was just thinking about, you…"
"Me?" I nodded, "What about?"
"Seth you're a really good friend, so when I'm older," I took a deep breath and blurted it out, "I want you to be my first kiss." He sat there shocked, or at least that's what I thought the way he was looking with his eyes twice the size they normally were.
"Nessie, you know that can't happen."
"Why not?"
"Because for one you're too young-"
"I said when I was older, not right now!" I glared.
"Fine, but even then, you're still my best friend's daughter and my Alpha's imprint, and besides I doubt I could ever look at you in that way, you're just…besides shouldn't you be getting your first kiss from Jake? He is your imprint after all."
"If I were to kiss Jacob how on earth would he and Leah end up together? And didn't you just say that we didn't have to be soulmates?"
"I don't know Nessie, but I can't give you your first kiss, it should be with some one special."
"You are special," I muttered, then at a regular sound level I replied, "Forget I even asked" With that I made my way towards my family that was walking towards us and I couldn't help but feel hurt by Seth's answer to my proposition.
I never realized how hurt I was until I was thirteen. I was over at the Clearwater's house; Jake had dragged me over there because Leah needed help fixing the car. I didn't mind really, it gave them time to realize their feelings for each other. Besides I was more then content staying with Seth-I was never really good with cars-and despite what happened a while back we still remained friends, however that day was never brought up again.
Until I walked into the kitchen and saw him kissing some blonde girl.
Apparently they saw me too, because they broke apart from what seemed like a very passionate kiss and soon Seth was herding her out the door-I guess she had her own car.
"Sorry about that Nessie," he said closing the kitchen door behind him, "You hungry?"
"Not after seeing that, no."
"Come on; at least have some ice cream. I can't finish it all be myself you know," he said smiling. I almost laughed-werewolves could eat a whole entire thanksgiving dinner by themselves-but I didn't, he was trying to make me feel better and my stomach felt queasy and I was mad at him for some reason.
Instead of trying to decipher my feelings I took him up on his offer and sat on the counter so that I could be eye level with him.
"What's the matter?'
"I don't know," I said truthfully, "I don't feel good."
"Show me." I did. I replayed the last few seconds of his kiss, and let my feelings rush towards him. Hurt. Anger. And for some reason a sense of betrayal. Soon he moved my hand off his cheek and held it in his hand for a long time before he spoke.
"You're jealous."
"Of what?"
"From what I can tell, the fact that I have a girlfriend" It didn't surprise me.
"Don't worry," he assured me, "It's just a crush, it'll go away soon."
"And if it doesn't?
"It will," he said like it was definite.
"How do you know?"
"Because, it's a crush."
"What if it isn't?" He looked at me the same way he did when I asked him for a kiss, like he didn't want to hurt me but knew he was going to.
"Nessie-" he started.
"Don't, just forget it," I said repeating the words again.
"I'm sorry. I just don't feel the same way."
"I said don't." I moved off the counter top just as Leah and Jacob were walking back inside bantering back and forth.
"I can't believe it took you that long to fix a stupid car! I have no idea why everyone wants you to fix everything! You probably end up breaking it a hundred times!"
"Well Leah, if it's such a stupid car then why did you want it fixed? And besides if I was so bad at fixing things you wouldn't have asked me in the first place anyways! And oh yeah Queen of Bitterness, I only broke the car three times thank you very much!" Sighing he turned to me and greeted me as normally as he could and promised to take me out soon.
I put on as big a smile I could even though my eyes were burning from holding back tears. Fine, if Seth didn't want me it was time to get back to Plan A of making my fairytale ending come true, getting Jacob and Leah together, and by the hurt look on Leah's face as she stared at Jacob hugging me, the sooner the better.
Ok there's half the story, I'll try to post soon, please review! Oh and if you want check out my other story A Life For a Life. And also I don't really like Bella that much so that's why I probably didn't portray her correctly-sorry! However I do kind of agree with her that Leah did get her happy ending when she became the Beta, just not the happy ending I wanted her to have-the one where she ends up with Jacob! :D
Ok I'm done really, please review if you like it and I'll update faster! :D
