I stood on the front porch, staring into the sunset that was casting its final pinkish glow of the day. The color beautifully outlined the hundreds of treetops as far as I could see, and the light shining around the mountains that lay in its background completed the masterpiece that sit before me. I could feel the suns warmth blast onto my face, but with the cool wind rushing past, it seemed that it was almost trying to portray me. I would feel all warm from the sun one second then slightly cold the next, it was a good feeling. For Grand Forks the weather was pretty good today. The wind pushed one of my curly locks of russet hair across my face. I gently grabbed the curl and tucked it back behind my ear. I inhaled the air surrounding me and found it full with the smells of pine, sweet grass, animals not too far off in the forest, the vampires that had come and gone within the last couple days and many more smells that the wind had brought along with it. I sighed. Couldn't it last like this forever?

I could then hear light footsteps coming closer to the door behind me. I turned around in time to see the door open and Alice step through it, with a rather plain expression on her face. Slowly, (for a vampire) she walked over to stand beside me to stare out over the sea of trees. She looked over at me and smiled. I had come to think of Alice almost like my sister, rather than an Aunt; she was always there for me, and in so many different scenarios might I add.

"Twilight" she murmured. I grabbed her hand in mine. Just like always, I started to feel a piece of my mind almost disconnect it's self, focusing on sending the message through my body to their mind. I felt it radiate outwards almost pulsing with strong bursts of energy. I know. I told her. It's simply the most beautiful time of day. I then sent a replay of what we were staring at to her, and she smiled. But it didn't fully get into her eyes.

What's wrong? I asked her in a tiny whisper.

"Your future, it bothers me, the clarity of it keeps altering. Certainly, it's become more and more clear since you were born, see I hadn't experienced anything like you before in my existence. But now since I've become more accustomed to you, it's easier to see you. I must say it also helps that you are half vampire, maybe that's what is helping bring out…" Alice started to mumble off to herself. "It's just different, how it changes. At least your becoming clearer." she finished with a smile that was truly Alice. She quickly gave me a hug around the waist and nearly danced back into the house. A moment later, I heard her speaking with Jasper in the living room.

"It's alright Alice, and you know it"

"Suppose you're right, but, she's my niece and I worry for her, how it changes."

"Her future is coming clearer though" Jasper reminded her.

"You're right. I needn't worry. I need to hunt; will you join me?"

"Certainly" he assured her. There was then utter quiet in the room for a moment then the sound of them quickly breezing out of the room. Then the front door opened swiftly and both Alice and Jasper practically glided out side by side.

"Hi Nessie" Jasper greeted me as he passed. I rolled my eyes, but only Alice saw. She smiled at my reaction. They continued on and walked (vampire speed) off the porch towards the edge of the lawn. Jasper put a confronting arm around Alice and pulled her closer to his side; she leaned into him, clearly happy to be there.

How on earth did they get "Nessie" out of "Renesmee" any way? I just didn't get it. Everyone had called me that for as long as I could remember, so I had gotten pretty used to it. It was just irritating sometimes, besides I loved my name; Renesmee. It was unique, one of a kind, just like me.

I watched as Alice and Jasper disappeared into the sweet smelling forest in the south. I tuned me attention back towards the west where the sun was fading away for the day.

I had to go back to school tomorrow. Ugh. What was the point? I knew it all already, besides, everyone stared at me all the time it was horribly annoying. I had been at school for about two years now, shouldn't they be used to seeing me by now?

I went to school in Forks too, but not for very long at all. At that point I was still changing to rapidly for any mere human. That certainly wasn't the case with me. We then decided to move to Grand Forks in Canada for various reasons. First, the weather was still pretty dreary and therefore easy to cover up my family's secret. Second, it still seemed like home, not just because of the similar name but it was located a few rivers and plenty of trees. The ocean wasn't that far away either. To everyone it still seemed like home. And occasionally we could go back and visit Forks, very carefully though, just to see how everything was going. And to see Grandpa Charlie too.

I loved him, he was so honest about everything, but it seemed like he always had his suspicions about things. Mom loved him too, just like me, we didn't want to let him go. I saw Grandma Renee even less, but missed her and loved her just as much. Mom seemed almost hurt sometimes when we went to go see her. We had to tell her that I was adopted and not actually biologically her Granddaughter. At first she didn't really think so because of the resemblance, just like Grandpa, but she did the math in her head and it didn't add up, so she then believed the lie.

I sniffed the air once again, taking in all of the beautiful radiant aromas in the air. But this time it was different. There was something else there in the air that I smelled now and not before. I could hear it too. It wasn't much more than the sound of the air swirling around the object moving at unormal speeds, about a mile and a half off coming straight in my direction. To make this assessment it took me all of a fraction of a second. And then I heard thumping on the ground still coming in fast. Then I heard it, a faint howl, about a mile and a half away, I knew that howl. It was calling. Calling for me.
