Chapter One

I took in all the air my lungs could absorb. This was my last day in Forks, Washington. Mother said that we had to move; so as not to risk being exposed to the humans. Apparently some people had started to realize that I was their birth daughter and not their adopted one, they also started realizing my rapid growth spurt which exceeded any humans'.

Father said that we could return once my aging stopped, so that I would always be frozen in my eighteen-year-Old's body. This place had so much sentimental value to me that it literally hurt to just leave it and not know when to come back. And what hurt me the most is the thought of the people whom I would lose once I move.

Now, I guess I was physically fifteen, so I at least had an entire year of hasty aging ahead of me. I sighed as I packed the last t-shirt. Jacob and I had bought that on our last trip to one of the amusement parks here, sure it was small, but we had a lot of fun.

Jacob was my best friend, and we were practically family. He was there since the first moment I was born, and he was the only one who gave me hope, when the Volturi came. Mother said that she has actually planned for me and Jacob to run away together in case a fight emerged.

I smiled when I remembered that. Not many Vampires would actually trust a Werewolf –their natural enemy- with their child's life. And yet, Jacob was not like the others of his kind. He actually liked my family, although he once told me that they 'smelled'. But when I checked, they didn't at all. I assumed that it was just a Vampire/Werewolf thing.

That day, nearly everybody lost hope. And that started to influence me. I started losing hope too, but Jacob always gave it to me, he was my best friend after all. "Renesmee." Called mother from downstairs. We were in our little cottage –which reminded me very much of Snow-white- but yet it felt warmer than the 'main house'- as I liked to call it.

I hurriedly closed my suitcase and headed downstairs. Father and she were standing next to each other, in front of the door, trying to cover whatever was behind it. "What is it, mother?" I asked, trying to peek at what was behind them, but had no luck. She gave me a hopeful grin, and they both stepped aside. "You have a visitor." I looked around them to see Jacob-whom I hadn't seen in an eternity.

Grinning, I went and gave him a hug. "Jake!" I almost squealed in a non-ladylike manner. I heard father clear his throat, so I immediately released him. This saddened me because of two things: One, I didn't want to let him go, we were going to be separated soon, and I wasn't sure if I could survive without a best friend. Nobody would measure up to Jacob. Two, it mystified me why father had been on edge ever since I was (physically) thirteen, he wouldn't even let me give Jacob the simplest of hugs.

He glared at me, and I hated the curse of having a mind reader as your father. "Nessie." Jacob replied in his usual husky tone. It looked like he was relieved for some reason. Father noticed my curiosity. "All will be explained now, Renesmee." I hated it when my parents would call me by my original birth name; it was a 'mouthful' as Jacob had put it.

We all sat all over the living room: father and mother cuddled together on the sofa, but Jake and I sat on separate chairs. "So, Renesmee. As Carlisle had previously informed you, we are moving to Alaska." I nodded, not sure what his intentions were. Jacob kept grinning the whole time, so I took this as a good sign. It didn't bother me that my parents had told him something which I hadn't known about.

"Well, we just want you to know that Jacob will be accompanying us." He cheerfully said, and now I knew why Jacob was so ecstatic. I almost screamed. All of my sorrow for having to leave Forks instantaneously vanished! I had a sudden urge to rise from my seat and give Jacob the tightest hug I was capable of, but I ended up blushing instead.

Jacob was still grinning as I carefully absorbed the news. Finally, I would have someone whom I would enjoy his company. Yet, in the depths of my heart, I was confused. Why would my parents allow Jacob to move with us? Why wouldn't they? I was having inner conflicts.

I then recalled that tonight was our last night in Forks, and I had to say goodbye to some people, or places in that matter. "Jake," I called from the other side of the room. "I want to go to La Push." He looked at dad for reassurance, and to my surprise, he nodded.

Relief or confusion? My father had scarcely allowed me to go to La Push; I thought that it was because he was afraid of the fact that some of the wolves were unstable and might even hurt me. Mother told me that he did the same with her and it actually bugged me a little to know how much control he had in her life.

"Go get your jacket, and I'll be waiting here." Said Jacob. I did as I was told without further hesitation. I searched through my massive closet for one jacket, and even with my half vampire speed, it took me five minutes. And I finally came down to see Jacob discussing something with my parents.

"She has to know Edward." Indicated mother. Jacob and father exchanged glances and both shook their heads at the same time. It actually looked a bit facetious. "No, Bella. We need to give her time. I don't need her to feel bound to this for the rest of her life." Jacob looked tense in his facial expression.

Father silenced both of them when he noticed my presence. "There you go Renesmee." He gave me his 'crooked grin' and Jacob opened the door. "Shall we?" He smiled, and I giggled. We both got out of the door, and I could easily tell that my parents were glancing at us. We got to his 'ancient rabbit' and drove away.

AN: well, that's the end of the first chapter. I know that it is a short one but there will be alot more if I get enough reviews. I am twelve, so alot of gramatical mistakes are to be expected, but don't make them stop you from reading.
