Okay so this is a sequel to my story, Sunrise, so if you get confused it's probably because you might need to read Sunrise before you read this story. It's not essential to read the 1st story since I explain most of it in this 1st chapter, but there are a lot of new characters and things that I mentioned in Sunrise, so you might need the background info. Anyway, let's get onto the 1st chapter of Noon Sun!


Chapter One

Renesmee's POV

I smile as I look at the photo of my family on my nightstand. It was taken right after my fourth birthday. I looked to be around the age of a middle schooler, possibly thirteen. Masen and Lizzy, my younger siblings, were both underneath my arms as I pulled them close to me.

Masen looked to be around the age of elven years old at the time while Lizzy was the size of a small four year old. Poor kid was still pretty mad at Masen since he already looked older than her, but I know the feeling. I used to tower over Masen, but now he towers over me.

My parents were on either side of my siblings, smiling at the camera as well. It happens to be my favorite family photo of all. That's why it's right on my dresser. Masen said I should just get a new one already, but I like it. Even though I don't look thirteen anymore. Now I look more about fifteen or sixteen.

I have only a year left until my seventh birthday. Well almost a year, I would be turning six in a week.

We had just celebrated Lily and Aidan's fourth birthday and it was pretty grand. Aidan didn't care much about it, but Lily on the other hand had to have everything perfect.

Lily and Aidan, my cousin's and Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Emmett's adopted hybrid twins, look to be around fourteen or fifteen now. Well Aidan has always been smaller than Lily. He just looks younger than her for some reason. Well he did act younger than Lily. Aidan is immature while Lily is mature, or tries to be mature.

Lizzy looks about eight or nine now and Masen looks older than me at the age of sixteen. Even though he still isn't four yet, the guy looks pretty old. Well he does have a few months until his fifth birthday, so I guess that's why.

Lizzy and Masen are my two siblings that aren't hybrids nor vampires. They are something called Lux Lamia's, or Light Vampires in Latin, since their kind is created using the most powerful source of energy to magic, light.

My parents conceived the two on Isle Esme when we went there to hide from Lorenzo, an evil man who was part vampire, warlock, human, and werewolf. He wanted to kill my whole entire family off for being a threat, so we ran from Forks to Isle Esme to hide for awhile.

Lizzy was conceived first, and was born sometime in November. Then came along Masen, our little surprise on New Years. The Lux Lamia's always have some sort of 'twin' born at a different time, but the funny thins is that Lizzy and Masen can't pass off as twins considering Masen grows much faster than Lizzy does.

I decide to get dressed in a white tang top and jean shorts as I make my way down to the first floor. I notice my parents are outside talking about mom's private tutoring. Dad thinks that it's almost time to relocate so mom could go to real college.

I'll miss these islands, after all it's where I spent the last four years of my life at. But, I know how much this meant to mom, and I didn't want to discourage her dreams. We weren't kids anymore, well except for Lizzy, and I think we were old enough to go to new places and act like normal teenagers. I wanted to be around other kids. After four years of being isolated on an island, I want to go back to school and make human friends. I wanted to graduate high school, go to my very own prom, and maybe go to college.

Today is Sunday, so no school today. It was just a nice relaxing day on the islands.

We've been home schooled for the past few years. For the most part it's my dad teaching us, but some of my other relatives love teach us as well. Dad covers everything from math, science, language, and he's taught us about the human and vampire worlds. Grandpa loves to step in when it's Biology or Chemistry, or he'll retell stories about things back in the olden days. My mom teaches us about English, Aunt Rosalie teaches us about mechanics, Uncle Jasper teaches history, and Uncle Emmett has his own form of gym class. Grandma Esme even has her own version of economics with Aunt Alice.

If I were to go to a human school I'd be advanced in everything.

I decide to head down to the kitchen for some breakfast. I go to grab a yogurt from the fridge and head to the island to devour it. I didn't even take me a second to see something was up. There, right behind the French doors in our kitchen, stacking up a bucket filled with water balloons, was none other than Lizzy. She was in a camouflaged suit and had her hair tied back.

I frown at her and go to make my way over. "Liz, what the heck are you doing?"

"What does it look like," she remarked, motioning to the water balloons. "I'm gonna knock Aidan right off his butt with these babies. Uncle Jazz is going to help me win this time. Uncle Em is on Aidan's team. The two got into a fight because Uncle Emmett broke Uncle Jasper's jet ski or something, I don't know. You know our uncles," Lizzy said as she flipped her bright bronze hair out of her face, revealing her emerald eyes.

Lizzy is my intelligent sister who honestly is like the next Einstein or something. She isn't someone to mess to because she can outsmart you in a heartbeat. Or in cases like my dear cousin, Aidan, who loves to annoy Lizzy, always has to pay the price of her genius pranks and payback schemes. The two are best friends though. He's the closest person to Lizzy besides Seth. They all do act like the youngest in our family. Even though Aidan gets on Lizzy's nerves, he's right up there with my sister. He is genius when it comes to building things and honestly Lizzy and Aidan are the perfect dynamo duo when it comes to making schemes. But I shouldn't forget Seth because he's just as bad as the two.

"In other words, Uncle Jazz and I are having war with Aidan and Uncle Emmett. Care to join?" Lizzy asked as she held up the balloons.

"No, I'm good," I tell her as I ruffled her hair. "Thanks though."

"Sure... Hey! Uncle Jasper! Time for war!" Lizzy yelled out. Uncle Jasper came in a nano second later with the same outfit.

"Hey, Nessie," he said noticing me as Lizzy skipped over to him with the bucket of water balloons. "Let's go get them munchkin," He said to her. Lizzy nodded as she hoped on his back and they were off.

Did I mention we also had tree houses on all of the islands along with secret hiding spots we made as children. Normally that's where we use to play war games like what Lizzy was playing now, but most of us got older and outgrew those games.

I go to head outside to see that Lily is here sun bathing on our beach while Masen and Ethan are wind surfing.

Ethan is my adopted elder brother, or everyone's brother basically. Esme and Carlisle kind of took him in as their own. He's just like Masen and Lizzy, a Lux Lamia, and he became a big part of this family about four years ago. He lost his family to this evil man, Lorenzo, when he was younger. We met up years after their death when we wanted to learn more about my sister and brother. We were also both being harassed by Lorenzo, just like Ethan's family, so we all teamed up to defeat him.

Thinking of Lorenzo caused a shiver up my spine as I touched the faded scar of a bite mark on my arm. No human eye could see it well, but I could. It was still there to remind me I almost died that day four years ago.

I sigh, shaking the thought out of my head, as I walk over to Lily. She has her sun glasses on so I knew she was admiring the 'view' or in other words, Ethan. She had like this secret big crush on Ethan. She has since the beginning. As kids she even told me when Ethan wasn't around that she thought he was cute. I guess that simple little silly crush soon grew into an even bigger one.

"Hey, Lil," I said to my cousin. She was more like my sister and one of my best friends. She was the only one I could talk to, that doesn't live with me, about girly things and stuff. I could talk to Lizzy about that stuff, but the thing is she is eight. She may have the mentality of a genius, but that didn't stop her from being a regular eight year old. Sometimes her maturity can fool you.

"Hey, Ness," Lily said as she leaned back against the lawn chair to soak up some sun.

"So how's the eye candy?" I asked her through my power as I went to touch her forearm. I could practically see the eye roll behind her shades.

"It's still um cute," Lily squeaked out as she watched Ethan get splashed by the waves. I turn to see Masen as he splashed through the waves. He grew up so much. He had the shortest childhood out of anyone here. He really grew up to be just like dad. Masen loves music, and he's very into sports.

If I had to describe my siblings personality wise, which parent seemed we seem the most like, Masen is the most like dad, Lizzy is like mom, and I'm like both of them. Maybe that's because I was the only child to be evenly mixed in looks, even though my hair did get a little darker, it still was bronze. Lizzy looks the most like dad and Masen like mom, except for his face. He had my dad's chin and nose, but overall he looked like mom. I had my mother's brown eyes and my father's hair, meanwhile Lizzy looked like dad with her bronze hair and green eyes, but she has a similar face to mine. When we were little our faces were almost identical, but as we got older they both became a bit different.

My brothers are very close. Since Masen grew up faster than us he didn't always want to be hanging around us. He began to bond with Ethan when he was about two and since then the two have been like two peas in a pod. I guess Masen needed a guy friend or brother like that since Aidan is always off with Lizzy. He still loved Aidan like a brother, but he was closer to Ethan.

Masen became the little brother Ethan lost. Ethan does have a biological brother, Lucas, who went missing after the death of their parents. He just disappeared. No one, not even Ethan, knows where he is, but Ethan has some gut feeling he's alive. The weird thing is Lizzy and Masen both get the same feelings.

My Grandpa and Ethan predicted that since they were all conceived in the same magic pool, they were all connected like siblings somehow. Even though Ethan and Masen may not seem to close to Lizzy, the three of them understand one another in ways we will never be able to understand. They all have some sort of bond.

"So," Lily began as she took off her sun glasses and faced towards me. "Any word from Jake?"

I blushed thinking about Jacob. My imprinter. He has always been my protect and my best friend. I haven't seen him since the beginning of August when he had to head back to La Push to help Sam since the guy is now a father to an energetic toddler and a husband to Emily. Jacob and Leah have been trying to take care of their own pack and Sam's, so they both had to leave early when they came here for vacation. Seth was able to stay here a bit longer with Grandpa Charlie and Nanna Sue though.

I really do miss Jake. As I've gotten older I've missed him even more so compared to when I was a child. When we first moved here I did miss him, and he was on my mind a lot, but as I got older the more I thought about him. I began to feel like a part of me left as well.

Sometimes I wonder if this just meant Jake and I are destined for each other. I don't really want to think about that now, not until I was ready. I still have time to date other boys as I please, well that is if my dad and brother will let me, and I know one day I'll have to make a choice whether Jake is the one who holds my heart or my heart always belonged to someone else. And when that day comes I'll be ready. Right now, I was not.

"He's good," I replied. I leaned against the lawn chair next to her and felt the sun warm my already heated skin.

I just got a call from Jake the other day. He said he was going to be coming up with my grandparents and Seth for my sixth birthday, and honestly I was excited.

"He's coming for my birthday," I said to Lily. She nods as she looks back out to watch Ethan surf the waves with my brother.

"That's good...You know I overhead my parents talking last night," She said softly as she went to push up her glasses closer to her face. "They were talking about a possible move. My parents want to either go to work or go to college with your mom. They want a change."

"So? Is it such a bad thing is we move?" I questioned as I flipped my hair towards my backside.

"No...but between you and me.. well Mas, Lizzy, Uncle Edward, and Uncle Jazz probably know already- that's not the point. Look, I'm scared," She told me, getting to the point.

"You're scared of school?" I repeated, incredulously. I always pictured Lily someone to be on board with a topic like this. She was always a social little butterfly when it came to meeting new people.

"Why?" I asked her. She shrugged.

"I guess it's because I never went to a school before," she told me as she went to fold up her glasses and place them besides her. "I've always been with you guys."

"Lily, it'll be fine. You're getting worried over nothing," I said to her. "Is there a real reason you don't want to go?"

She snorted as she rolled on her side so her blue eyes were looking into my brown. Her eyes looked a lot like Gwen's piercing blue.

I sigh mentally. Gwen. I don't like to think about her. She was such a good friend to me when I was a small child, but she died giving birth to the twins. I never blamed the twins for the death of my friend, and I don't blame myself either for my mother's 'death'. I know I never killed my mother, but I almost did. That is a thought always in the back of my mind. I feel a bit monstrous for doing what I did to her, but I know my parents love me. They don't want me to think this way.

Lily sighs, turning to me. "Okay..maybe it has to do with the fact we haven't left this island in like four or five years. We only go for hunting. Aunt Alice always takes care of the shopping and so does Grandma, plus we have basically everything delivered to our doorstep...What if we come in contact with someone like Lorenzo again? Or the Volturi?" I shivered at the thought of both. Both had a lot in common. Both are cold hearted murders and both wanted our family dead.

Well the Volturi still want us dead, but we haven't heard from them in four years.

"We are a powerful family, Lily," I said as I take her hands in mine. "Nothing bad like Lorenzo will happen to our family again. And if it does we'll all be here to protect one each other."

She smiled at me and went to go give me a hug. "Oh Ness, you are a great sister. You know that?"

I chuckled at I patted her back. "Thanks Lily."

"What's going on here?" I heard a voice say. I look up to see Masen, grinning like a fool with Ethan. I roll my eyes as Lily as I pull away from each other.

"Just some bonding. You know, heart to heart. Stuff like that," I tell him.

"Well that's lovely," Masen said as he shook his head, getting us wet with the droplets form his thick messy hair.

"Ak! Masen Anthony watch it!" Lily scolded at him as she hit him on the bicep. He let out a laugh as he went to pat her head.

"Sorry Lillian Gwen! Hey, I'm going to go take a shower," he announced as he dashed away.

I shake my head at my brother. I have a feeling someone is going to be a hit with the ladies. He may be a lot like dad personality wise, but he is way more outgoing.

"I'm gonna go too. See ya ladies," Ethan said as he went over to our outdoor shower to rinse off before heading to his apartment on Isle Cullen. I giggle seeing Lily look over at him with a pair of googley eyes.

"You are so in love with him," I tease with her. She huffs as she went to lean back against the lounge chair.

"Just keep your mouth shut Renesmee Carlie. I may seem not like a person who would get down and dirty, but if I have to I will...plus I know people," She warns me. I just snorted.

"Who? Lizzy and Aidan? Because those two will just make your plan backfire on not just me but you as well," I said. She rolled her eyes at me, but that's when a big red water balloon smacked her right in the head. She let out a piercing screech and turned to see Aidan with a balloon in hand.

"Oh, hey sis," he said innocently, waving a hand at her. She growled and went charging at him. I laughed as the two began to chase each other around our island.

I looked to see Lizzy come over followed by Masen.

"So the Hale twins are fighting again, what else is new?" Masen mused. I chuckled as we just watched them chase one another for the next couple of minutes until Uncle Emmett had to break up.

Later that night after dinner I head out to my spot on the little swing my dad set up a few years ago. It was one of those handmade swings my parents thought would be a good idea for our front yard. It hangs by one of the larger tree's here and it's one of my favorite places to sit.

I was alone right now and all was at peace on the island. Lizzy was back in the home reading her book, Masen was playing video games with Ethan probably, and my parents were probably cuddling in their room upstairs.

I do this every night, say goodnight to the island. I'll stay there from sunset until it's dusk is out and the only light is the light from the stars and moon.

I look up at the sky from my spot on the swing and smile seeing all the stars beginning to light up the Brazilian sky. I felt the warm wind brush gently against my face. I loved the peaceful nights on the island to the quiet serenity you get from just standing on the beach.

I sat out there for about a couple of more minutes before I headed back into the house to go to sleep.

And this, has been just another normal day on the Isles de Cullen.
