No Need to Say Goodbye

~Chapter #1~

The sun had barely risen, but the Cullens were up and out. Hunting was what they were doing at the early morning hours before Alice, Edward, Bella, Jasper and Renesmee Cullen would start school again.

The last time they'd occupied the damp area of Forks, Washington had been approximately seventy years ago. So it was safe to say that none of the earlier occupants would be here… let alone alive. Expect the werewolves of La Push. The Cullens were quite excited about seeing the werewolves. After the great trial for Renesmee, both werewolves and vampires had created quite an alliance. But before long, the Cullens knew they had to leave. And so they did that, leaving the werewolves behind. But Edward and Alice had been keeping tabs on them. So they knew that by the time they came back, the pack would still be a pack. Alice knew this by constantly looking for them. If they disappeared, they were still werewolves, and when Alice looked… Nothing was to be seen.

But now, the sun was starting to arise. Such was Renesmee Carlie Cullen. She had been somewhat conscious for a few thirty minutes before, but only now had she been actually able to force open her eyes. Oh what an effort. Shivering slightly through her thin cameo top, she sat up and slid sullenly out of bed. Then, she jumped up. Nessie suddenly remembered the deed she'd needed and wanting to do since the day Jacob told her he loved her. That was yesterday. It'd freaked her out. She was ready to love, but no… not Jacob! Jacob was like her best friend. That would feel so weird to her. Yes, she knew and thought Jacob was hers, but definitely not in that sense. Not the actual love sense. He was her best friend, and to her, that's all he'd ever be and remain. Nessie quickly rubbed her tired eyes, making an effort not to think about her sudden leaving. Her bag were already all packed and shoved under her bed. All she needed to do was leave. Not exactly bothering to shower, Nessie hurriedly pulled a brush a through her red curls, stopping for a half moment, actually pondering to leave or not. Could she really leave her family? Yes. She could, she needed time to think. And that was what she was going to do and get. She had to do this quickly, before Dad heard her thoughts. She wasn't worried about Aunty Alice, for some uncanny reason, Aunty Alice couldn't see her. It was all to do with a theory that Alice could only see things that she was, or once was. Werewolf and Half-breed didn't make the list. Picking up her bags, she hurried down the door, catching a glance at the woods and seeing the large russet shape of a wolf.

Oh no, they're back already! She panicked. Hoisting her bag higher, she ran towards a cab she'd pre-called. The driver helped her shove her bag in the boot and she grabbed her shoulder bag from the very small pile of luggage. Where was she going? When you needed a holiday, preferably one full of Sun and foreign people, where was one of the best places to go? Italy.

Volterra in fact.

Though she wouldn't admit it out loud, Nessie remembered just who lived in Volterra; she was actually hoping that they would provide a safe haven for her, keep her hidden and away from her family for the time she needed.

The cab drove away, towards the small quaint airport of Forks. And before she realized it, she was on the plane to Italy. Relaxing back into her first class comfy seat, Renesmee closed her eyes for a sleep she knew was eventually going to overcome her. Flashes of her family went through her mind and of Jacob. Yes, he was handsome… very. And he was willing to love and protect her. He was everything a girl could and would ever want. But for some reason that Renesmee couldn't explain herself, she just knew he wasn't the right person for her. There was someone else. She knew there was and she'd constantly have dreams of finding this person, but she could never place the face that she knew belongs to the tall body of this figure. So in her mind, his face remained a pale blank.

~00oo00oo00~

"Miss, wake up. You're here." A faint voice interrupted Nessie's dreams.

Nessie shook her head and looked up to see the friendly face of the airplane stewardess. She sat up straighter to see that almost everyone had gone, already boarded out of the plane. She ran an exhausted hand through her hair and nodded in thanks to the stewardess. Then, grabbing her bag, she slung it over her shoulder and sleepily stepped off the plane. After finding her way through the large Italian airport, she checked out her bags and then went off, in search of a taxi.

"Taxi?" Nessie called out from the sideway, sweetly putting her hand up at the same time. Due to the fact that she was half vampire she possessed the qualities of being extremely flawless and beautiful. The only things that weren't vampire about her was the fact that she was half human, meaning she wasn't unbreakable, though it did take some effort for her to break… she could eat human food, though it didn't fully sustain her… she slept, like a good little girl… and her vampire qualities weren't as strong, such was the fact she couldn't run just as fast as her mother or father, hear just a well, smell just as well, taste just as well and feel just as well. Her senses were far, far more potent than that of a normal human's, but compared to a full vampire, her senses were just one ounce of a fraction off. But so was her beauty that when she delicately lifted her hand, a tumble of cars squealed deafeningly to a stop. Grimacing to herself, but slightly delighting in it, Renesmee picked the closest taxi and pushed her one bag of luggage into the seat.

"Dove, signorina?" The driver asked.

She grinned to herself, mentally thanking Carlisle for urging her to learn Italian.

"A Volterra per favore." She nimbly replied.

The driver nodded and then started the car forward. After a few silent moments of driving, Nessie took a small map out of her shoulder bag and glanced at it. Then, after a quick look up, she did a double take as a beautiful city loomed over head. It was glittering in the Sun on the hill. Much like a crown on a head. It was so beautiful. She wondered why she didn't even think of visiting this place before.

"Turn Right." She murmured, but loud enough for the driver to hear. The driver frowned at her and it took her a moment to realize that this driver probably didn't understand English, so she pointed right and he nodded. The car swiftly turned right after entering the large gateway of the city of Volterra. Then, after a few more turns, Renesmee ended up in front of a quaint stack of apartments. A thin woman was waiting out the front with a bottle of champagne. She smiled and hurried over as soon as Nessie took the smallest step of the cab.
"Why hello," She bumbled, her Italian accent coveting every word, "I'm Natasha, you're land lord. So glad you could make it. Anyway, here's your key and a bottle as a welcoming present. I do hope you like it here."

Nessie forced out a smile, "Yeah, I think I will."

The driver helped her unload the baggage and Nessie handed him as small wade of cash which he grandly accepted before waving and driving away. The landlord helped Nessie up to her room, giving a twenty second tour before promptly leaving. Renesmee put her luggage bag by the bed in the bedroom and then collapsed on the bed in question.

"Finally." She muttered, closing her eyes and letting the consequence of flying from USA to Italy. Jet-lag sponged her mind into a blissful sleep.
