Chapter 1 – A Possibility

Renesmee's POV

As I looked around at my beautiful family, I thought of what we were going to do in the future. It was obvious that we had stayed in Forks for too long. Carlisle has stopped working at the local hospital, as people started to realise he was not changing or aging. No-one has been to school since before I was born, almost 5 years ago, and we seldom left the house in daylight hours.

I focused my attention on Grandpa Carlisle. He looked as if he didn't know how to say what he wanted to. "I think it is about time that we looked at moving. I know it has been on everyone's minds. So, does anyone have any suggestions?" He scanned the table.

"Alaska?" Aunt Rosalie said.

"We've been there before. I think it is too soon to return." I've always wanted to go to Alaska, but I didn't dare argue with Grandpa Carlisle.

"That's a wise choice, Renesmee. I promise I'll take you one day soon." My dad said in response to my thoughts.

"I was thinking of somewhere further away. My suggestion is Australia." Carlisle gazed around the table to gauge his family's reactions.

Rosalie gasped, but whether in shock, outrage or excitement, I couldn't tell. Alice just smiled; she could already see the outcome. Jasper flinched, probably due to the sudden change of emotions in the room.

Emmet roared, "Kangaroos!"

"What?" My mum asked with a look of confusion on her face. My dad just laughed. He already knew what Emmet was thinking, he knew what everyone here was thinking.

"Tell me you've never wanted to hunt a kangaroo. I've heard they are heaps fun to catch!" Emmet replied. "And emus!"

My Aunt Rose just shook her head at her husband's idiocy.

"In all seriousness," Carlisle attempted to regain the attention of the many talking vampires around him. "What do we all think?" He looked at Alice. "Alice?"

"Australia? I'm so up for it." She was almost glowing. "Think of all the new shopping districts! How could I say no?" Of course Alice was only thinking about shopping.

"Ok. That's one in favour of going. Jasper?" Carlisle now turned his attention to Uncle Jasper.

"As much as I hate to bring the topic up, especially since my wife is so keen to go," he glanced at Alice, "but I have one problem. What about the sun? I mean, isn't it always sunny in Australia?"

And with that, Emmet burst out laughing. "Yeah Jazz, Carlisle didn't think that it would be a problem. Doesn't everyone sparkle in Australia? We would just blend in." His last sentence was barely understandable through his booming laughs, but the mock was clear.

"No, no. I didn't mean that." He shot a glance at Carlisle to make sure he hadn't offended him. "It's just that when I think of Australia, I think of sun, and lots of it. Where can we go in Australia that will give us as many rainy and overcast days as we get in Forks? Surely we will be inside more than we are here."

Carlisle shook his head. "I have found a town that has almost as many gloomy days as we get where we currently are. It's called Mihleville. It's a great area, brilliant schools, near the beach, so we can swim at night." He added, looking jokingly at Jasper. "Just for Alice, one of the most popular shopping district in the country only ten minutes drive out of town. And I have already found quite a large block of land that we can build on, including room for little cottages for Bella and Edward, Rose and Emmet, and Alice and Jasper, if they want them. Also, plenty of forest, both on this land I have found, and in the local area."

I noticed that Grandpa Carlisle mentioned schools in the nearby area. Does that mean that everyone plans to return to school? No-one has been to school since I was born. I wonder if I will finally be allowed to attend proper school.

"No." My Dad said, in response to my thoughts, from across the table.

"No to what?" Mum asked him.

"Nothing. Just something Renesmee was thinking. But it doesn't matter; it's not going to happen anyway."

Why not? I'm sick of being homeschooled. If you all get to return to school, I should get the opportunity. It's only fair.

"No" he repeated.

You know that mum would want me too. I hear her bugging you about it all the time. She wants me to attend school.

"I said no. That is not going to happen. At least, not anytime soon." He looked determined.

Fine. But I want to at least ask everyone else what they think.

He growled in warning, but I ignored him. What harm is there in asking?

"A lot" Dad looked like he was going to burst. He really didn't want me to go to school.

"Are you going to tell us what you two are arguing about in your heads?" My mum asked, curious.

I touched her face. I want to attend high school in Australia. Dad won't let me, but I want to. Please?

"That's a great idea. Edward, surely you must agree." Mum was looking directly at dad in the eyes.

"No." He can be stubborn when he wants. "I think she is too young."

"She looks 17 for goodness sake!" My mum argued. This is going to be a long discussion.

"But she is only 5 years old!" Why doesn't my dad understand that my real age has nothing to do with how old I am?

"Renesmee. You know very well that it means everything." He said with a raised voice.

"Edward." Carlisle's stern voice interrupted out argument. "Either explain to us what you are talking about, or stop talking about it."

"Tonight. I will convince you." My mum said to Dad in such a low voice I barely heard it.

"Eww. Please don't talk about what you do in your spare time with us!" Emmet said, screwing up his face in mock disgust.

That Night

Back at our cottage, we were sitting around the fire.

"Nessie, darling," my mum broke the silence. "Could you please go into your room and complete the maths work your dad set for you yesterday?"

"OK." I had already completed the homework, but I walked of anyway. I knew my mum was about to bring up the topic of me going to school, so I didn't argue.

In my room, I sat on my bed, and waited for the conversation to begin in the other room. I heard nothing in the means of speaking, all I could hear, even with my perfect half-vampire hearing, was the sound of my parents breathing quickly increasing until they were racing.

My mum made me leave the room so she could talk to Dad. And I can't hear any talking. I realised why they weren't talking; their lips were busy.

Suddenly, "Edward"

"Yes, baby?" Dad sounded breathless. Eww.

"I need to talk to you about something."

"Can it wait, baby? I was happy where we were." Double eww.

"No. It can't. Why won't you agree with Nessie going to school? She really wants to go, and moving would give her the perfect chance to do it."

"I'll tell you why she can't go to school. Because I said 'No', that's why." Dad replied with quite a harsh tone in his voice. I hate it when he talks to mum like that.

"But it would be good for her. Mentally, she is 17, and she has no friends outside of this family."

"She doesn't need any friends out of this family." Dad argued.

"She is a child. She needs friends." Mum argued back.

They bickered on like that for another five minutes, until my dad decided to call me, and discuss the matter with me.

"Ness, tell me why you want to go to school." My dad asked me.

That caught me. Why do I want to go to school? I thought about that for a second.

"I guess that now I'm a vampire," I began,

"Half-vampire." My father corrected.

"Fine, now that I'm a half-vampire, I guess that I just want to start living my life the way that you have been for quite a while. I want to go to school, and have those sort of human experiences."

At this, my mum chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Dad asked her.

"It's just that, remember when I was human, and you were arguing that I have to have some human experiences. She reminds me a lot of myself."

"Oh." My dad said as he remembered.

"So, can I go?"

Both my mum and I looked at my dad with pleading eyes.

"OK."

"YAY!" I exclaimed! "I'm going to proper school."

No more homeschooling. I'm going to go to a public school with other kids my age. I'm going to make friends. It will be a whole new experience. I'm so excited.
