Renesmee POV

I was searching for two AA batteries in the hall closet when Charlie came up. I was living with him now, since I had no clue where my biological parents were. I hadn't seen them since I was six months.

The drawer in my mind that held every memory of them was shut tight. But now, it threatened to open. I shut it mentally, very hard.

"Nessie! I'm leaving now. Have fun at school." Grandpa Charlie said.

"Kay!" I yelled back and I heard the front door slam.

Searching, searching, searching….What's this? It was an album of some sort. The cover was red vinyl. Walking into my room, I began to examine the cover.

You could tell it was old. The red was a rusted color. It was probably before a brilliant red. Sitting on my bed cross-legged, I opened the front cover. I stared in shock. On the inside, the first picture was one of two people. One I recognized to be Edward, my Dad. The other one I couldn't tell. She had long, brown hair. Her eyes were my color.

I gasped.

My Mom.

It took me a minute to grasp that she was human in this picture. I only saw her human once….all covered in her own blood, dying. I shuddered and threw the memory away.

I turned to look at the clock. 7:00 a.m.. I got up, grabbed my backpack and turned to leave.

When I got outside I turned to lock the front door. My hockey sweatshirt and sweatpants billowed in the mild-medium wind that blew.

I was proud of the name that sat on the back of my sweatshirt. Cullen was boldly announced. I will never get rid of that name. No matter how many eternities I live.

My clothes were black with green lettering, and my bronze curly hair was tied back into a messy high bun. I pulled the side hairs into a "bump" on my head.

I walked down to school. Turning onto Main Street I could see the kids at my school. Like most things in the rainy small town in Oregon, school was on Main Street.

I missed Forks. I loved it there. I was born there. My Mom was born there. My parents married there. And met there. Stop! I can't think about this anymore.

As I walked up the parking lot to go inside, Meagan and Rebecca ambushed me.

"Hey Renesmee!!" They both exclaimed.

"Hi." my answer wasn't so enthusiastic. They rolled their eyes.

"Guess what?" Meagan said.

"What?"

"We get a whole bunch of new kids here tomorrow!" she exclaimed.

Meagan's mom was the main office secretary, of course she knew this.

School passed very quickly. Lunch dragged on as I got scolded for not eating. Finally the last bell rang. I started home.

When I got home, Jacob was leaning against my Altima.

"Hey Nessie!" he yelled.

"Quiet down Jake, the entire neighborhood can hear you," I complained," Hey, do you know about a red vinyl photo album?"

"Yes," he said-cautious.

I motioned him to follow me. We walked upstairs. I gave him the photo album. He laughed.

"This picture is your Mom's wedding picture." he told me. My Mom was in a white dress, my Dad was in a tux.

"What about these pictures?" I asked, pointing to some pictures of random kids.

"Those are your Mom's friends. Mike Newton, Angela Weber, Jessica Stanley." He told me, pointing to indicate who was who.

We walked back outside.

I walked straight to my Altima and opened the hood. I decided to tune it. But, like always, it was perfectly in tune. Charlie drove up then.

"Hey Nessie! Can you check out the cruiser? I think something's wrong," Charlie asked.

"Sure, Chief!" I said. After making a thorough inspection I figured out his radiator sprung a leak.

"Jacob, could you hand me a wrench?" I asked.

"You would think that after all my years of being a mechanic I would know what tool is what by the name….But, no, I learned shapes!" He complained. He held the wrench up," Is this it?"

I nodded. After I fixed the cruiser, Charlie said he had to leave to go fishing since it was kind of sunny out. I didn't notice until Jake then pointed to my arm and it was glowing faintly. Stupid vampire skin.

My skin sparkled in the sunlight now, just like my parents.

I walked back inside and sat down at the piano in the living room. It was on the back wall. I started playing Clair de Lune.

"You know, you inherited the 'being a natural at music' from your Dad." Jacob mentioned after a minute. I stopped.

"You inherited a lot, you know. Your Aunt Rosalie loved to work on cars. Your Uncle Emmett loved sports. Your Mom hated fashion and loved to read the classics. And your Dad loved his music. He played a wicked piano…." Jake trailed off remembering.

I ran upstairs with inhuman speed and grabbed a CD. I popped it in. Sweet music rang through the air.

"It was in my Mom's stuff. The cover says 'Happy 18th Birthday, Bella'. I listen to it every night before I go to bed." I explained.

"Your Dad made the c.d. for your Mom. The first one is 'Bella's Lullaby' the next one is Esme's Favorite, I believe."

A memory slipped out of it's drawer. My Dad humming this lullaby to her when she was transforming. '

"They loved each other so much," I whispered.

"They loved you too."

"It's all my fault," I groaned.

"NO! It's not! Your parents would not want you to say that." He growled at me.

I walked over to put the sheet music away. I came across another photo album and a wooden box. I set them on the table. I flipped through the white photo album. It must be Charlie's. It had pictures of my Mom. All the way through her wedding and my first Christmas.

The same wedding pictures were there. The one with only my parents, then one with them and their parents, then the bridal party, then last one with my Mom and Charlie and Renee. I turned the page, not expecting to find anything. But I did.

The very last picture was one of all of the Cullen's. My drawer opened. Grandpa Carlisle, Grandma Esme, Uncle Emmett, Aunt Rosalie, Uncle Jasper, Aunty Alice, Mom and Dad. I shut the album.

Next I opened the box. It had my Mom's school pictures in them. All framed and everything. I looked at my Mom through out the years. She was beautiful. Even for a human. I found a DVD, and popped it in the DVD player. My first Christmas.

It showed me running into Jake's arms. Then my parents came in.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Mom asked.

"Hey kids, recording Nessie's first Christmas." My parents smiled.

I shut it off. I couldn't take the ripping pain. I put my arm over my chest.

"Guess you inherited that, too."

I turned to Jacob.

"What?"

"Your Mom used to do that when well, there was a period when your Dad left because he thought she'd be better off without her vamp. He was gone for 6 months, your Mom did that whenever she thought of him or the Cullen's. She said it helped her hold herself together."

I gaped at him.

"I'm going to bed!" I announced.

When I got up there, I popped in the CD and listened. I felt calm, and I fell asleep.

I woke up with a start. My dream was too real. It was me, looking in a mirror, and my Mom zoomed by, kissed me cheek, and left. My Dad, however, walked right up to me and put his hands on my shoulders.

"I love you." He said.

I probably was screaming. It felt like it. My clock said 6:00 so I got up and showered. Then got changed. I threw on a green long sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and my caramel colored UGG's. I threw the straighten-er threw my hair. I was tired of having to deal with wet curls.

It was finally time for school.

Renesmee, drive to school. It's raining. A note from Charlie said. I did.

When I pulled into the parking lot, I remembered we were going to get new students today. But, my attention was divided.

A red BMW sat in the parking lot. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about a five hundred thousand dollar, top-of-the-line, convertible in red. A silver Volvo sat next to it. I felt the urge to check out the engine.

"OMG! Why do you just stand in the rain?" Meagan asked me.

"Hello? From the rainiest place on the continental United States, here."

"Oh, yah. Check out those cars. The new kids cars."

I faintly recognized those cars. They were Cullen cars. No! Stop! I ordered myself.

"I'd love to see the engine."

"I had a feeling you would say that."

The first four periods past quickly. I didn't have any of the new kids in my classes. Maybe after lunch…But, I was positive I would see them at lunch.

When lunch came, I sat down.

"Spill on the new kids." I ordered Becca. She smiled.

"They're Dr. and Mrs. Cullen's foster kids," I froze," There's six of them. The girls are Alice, the short black haired one, Rosalie, the blonde, and Bella, the brunette."

Bella Cullen? No coincidence.

"The boys are Emmett, the big black haired one, Jasper, the blonde one, and Edward, the unbelievably beautiful bronze haired one."

Edward Cullen? No! This cannot be my parents.

"You have the same color hair as Edward." Rebecca commented.

I remembered my Dad could read minds.

Dad, Edward, if that's you, look at me.

Edward Cullen turned to look at me.

Remember me?

He shook his head no. His eyes were wide.

I'm your daughter.

He still shook his head no.

My name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen. I was born on September 10th. I'm half human, half vampire. I live with Chief Charlie Swan and Jacob Black.

He gasped. Renesmee? he mouthed. I nodded. He poked Bella in the ribs. She turned and he pointed to me.

"It's Nessie." hearing his voice, it was like I never left.

"Nessie?" My Mom asked. Her voice was like music, how much I missed it.

My parents stared at me long enough for my Aunt's and Uncle's to notice.

"What? A threat?" Uncle Emmett asked.

"No, not a threat, a daughter." My Father was still gaping.

"A daughter?" Aunt Rose asked.

Mom nodded, "Renesmee," she whispered.

"Yes!" Aunty Alice said, her face going blank," I can see her now that she's fully matured."

"Your saying that's her?" Uncle Jasper asked.

Aunty Alice nodded. My family gaped.

Follow me home. I drove to school to school today. Follow me home, please.

Dad nodded.

School passed quickly. It turns out I have Mom and Aunty Alice and Dad and Uncle Jasper in my last period. I sat in the front, and they sat in the back, so they couldn't talk to me.

Finally I drove home. The Volvo and Convertible followed me. I knew I recognized those cars.
