Prologue
Kody knocked on the door. "Nessie, may I come in?" She whispered, she had to tell somebody and Nessie seemed like the perfect candidate. Nessie opened the door with a weary expression. "I'm not here to bug you, I just need you to understand, why I have to...leave everybody. Why I can't let you guys become attached more than you already are, why I can't get attached. She nodded at me to go on. "Nessie, I see things." That's not so bad, Renesmee thought to herself. "Really Kody, is that the best you can do, Alice does that too?" Kody nodded sadly.
"You don't understand. Nobody would I guess, I'm not really a vampire or a werewolf." She ran her fingers through her hair once...twice. "I see things, unpleasant things. Things that can get you killed..."She trailed off feeling naseous. "Things to get everybody in this house killed. I hear things like your father. Then, whenever I touch something, or something touches me, I can see everything." She touched Renesmee for an example, and decided to keep that part for a later date. "Like when Emmett found me in the forest, I knew the past, present, and future. Everything was so clear. I saw him when he was human and as a vampire. Even your mom...and, I can't take it anymore, Nessie. I'm scared." Nessie looked at her friend in astonishment.
"What do you mean Kody? You of all people are never scared of anything."
"Becuase there's only one thing that can hurt me now. Everybody that I know has bailed on me. I'm just scared you guys will someday make up your minds, decide I'm a freak and leave, go to Denali or something."
"What about...the other part, you said that we'd die. How?" Riley gnawed on her lip, this is why she had to go. She couldn't do it.
"Renesmee," She said anxiety clearly in her voice, "You have to understand that right now, while I'm sane, I won't snap. But, you never know with me. Alice can't get a good read on me, and I'm just getting frustrated. Please, I don't want you to hate me, but I have to leave."
"How do we die?" Nessie asked again.
"I get quite a tem-"
"How?"
"I kill you."
Crazy People
Everything was wrong, messed up in its own sick way. My dad bailed, my sister bailed, and my mom bailed. Everybody that I was ever close with bailed on me. It's weird how lonely you can feel, especially in a crowded area like Miami. What made it worse though, was that Carmen and my dad both said goodbye, but my mom, the only one I had, the only one that cared enough to stay with me (or, so I thought at the time) didn't even leave me with an explanation. Actually, she left while I was at school. I ran away from countless foster homes, they knew nothing about me, what could they do to help? Plus, they only wanted me for my money, what good was that? I was no good anyway. After awhile, I got tired of running. I had to plan this perfectly, so, I went to one of those rich houses a little way from the beach. I made myself dehydrated, not drinking anything in the last day, and asked them for some help. They offered me a place to stay (really surprised me, thought everybody was a stuck up ass), and a ride to the hospital. There names were Elliot and Ashley.
"No, that's okay. I just need a place to lie down and rest, just for the night." The elderly couple looked at me warily. "I won't steal anything, I promise."
"No, no, it's not that. We're just trying to see what else you might need." Ashley said. Her name reminded me of a happy little girl, and not the elderly lady that was in front of me.
"Rach still has her clothes in the closet upstairs, love. You think that would fit her?" Elliot asked, Ashley nodded.
"Come on, let's get you into a shower." That night, they took good care of me. Ashley helped me into the shower, gave me some pajamas and even brushed my hair. "Your hair's so beautiful." She cooed. "So red and curly, almost wild." I smiled shyly, I didn't know what it was like to recieve a compliment that wasn't about my body. "You have dimples to, that's cute." I felt the heat rush up to my cheeks. She kept brushing through my hair. She gave me a detour throughout the house when I spotted it. It was a black baby grand piano. I gasped. The room looked perfect.
"Do you play?" Ashley asked interrupting my reverie.
"A little." I said with a dreamy sigh, when was the last time I even played the piano, especially a baby grand?
"Play something for me. Go on." She said in that compelling way of hers. I sat down and started to play Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. I stopped suddenly when I was half way done, feeling the tears. I now remembered why I hadn't played in so long. It hurt too much. Too much to play, too much too think, and too much to feel.
"I'm a little tired." I smiled at her. "I'll be out of your hair in no time." They were being so nice to me, I forgot the sole reason I was there. I forgot that people were after me. I forgot what they could and inevitably do to anybody that was associated with me. That night, I was contemplating whether or not I could still rob them blind, when I heard footsteps. I peeped through the door, and saw Jack and Rony with a gun, scilencers on each end. That's when I heard them, the nice elderly couple, they were arguing with the men. I knew it was over when their screams came to abrupt end. By that time, I was already down stairs with my backpack and the couple's jewlery, a wallet and a pair of keys left on the alcove, my backpack that was in the kitchen, and the lady's purse that was on the coat rack.
It surprised me when the Mercedes made no more than a ghost would when I started the car, revved and drove off. I sped to Miami International airport, weaving in and out of the going cars. It's was only 2 a.m., there shouldn't be a lot of cars out here, but there was. Everybody coming from clubs, bars, "work." I made it just in time, sneaking my way into the terminal. I was headed towards Portland, I always wanted to go there. You don't see much snow down here, in South Florida. Mostly rain and beaches. It was a one non-stop flight. I fell asleep, thinking about the out crys from the couple. Their money burned like an open fire in my back pocket. It was the right thing to do...If you didn't take it those goons would and then 'Of with your head!' I rationalized. "You have pretty eyes, pretty hair, you're quite fair." I heard the lady mention to me once more. It was like a mantra. "This is your fault!" At the same time I heard, "Save yourself!" I jolted with a fright.
"Sorry, miss." Somebody said to me. They came to sit next to me. My green eyes were probably full of fright. Soon, the guy started to hum. It was so soothing that I fell into a more peaceful, dreamless sleep.
Emmett *Few Days Later*
"Hmm, somebody new's coming to school," Alice said.
"Woopie..." I mumbled. Everything was depressing to me. Cheer up Uncle Emmett. Nessie said, her hands on my cheeks, while her eyes never left her book. "Your right squirt." She stuck her toungue out at me. Jasper had me feeling like this, do to a prank I made him do. He wasn't too happy about it. "Jasper is a very mean person. I wouldn't be surprised if you wanted to place me above him on your favorite uncle list...No, knock him off completly." This idea cheered me up, then made me depressed again. I was going to put tear him up so much, it'll take him months to find all the pieces.
"Emmett." Alice said curtly.
"Yeah, yeah." Edward and Bella walked in just then.
"Hm." Edward thought.
"Would you mind telling the rest of us what that was about?" I asked. Why was everybody coming at me today? "You guys are planning to come at me aren't you?" I looked down at my niece, there was something there in her eyes...I gasped. "You even have my little niece in on it too. Nessie, you really wouldn't do that to your dear old Uncle Emmett, would you? Come on Bella, control your husband...Not you too Bells."
"This is getting rediculous." Jacob said. I gasped in horror, I've seen this in the movies. The Red Queen get's upset and then, 'of with their head!'
"No! Please Edward, if you love me at all, please, please, let me keep my head. Please." Everybody burst out laughing, even little Nessie, and worst of all, my wife!
"Rosalie!" I gasped in horror.
"Oh shut-up Emmett." She said.
I sulked upstairs giving Nessie and Esme a kiss goodnight. I pulled on my superman pjs, and laid in bed with a warm glass of milk by my head. I closed my eyes, expecting it to come easily. Ugh, how do humans do this thing? I wondered if I remembered it correctly, but I know I did. Humans stomped off and fell right asleep or, they were over come with emotion, and they just dropped on the floor. Even vampires, for crying out loud! They just went in those coffin things and fall right asleep. Light Bulb! I went into the basement and got the extra pieces of wood that was from building the house. I dashed back upstairs with a mission.
"Nessie, I need to borrow your crayons." I grabbed them before she could object. I heard her start to cry. What a BABY! I thought to myself, but it didn't matter anymore, I was already done. Everything was perfect. "Crayon shower!" I yelled as I threw the crayons in the air towards Nessie. I grabbed my colorful coffin and made my way back to my room. It looked so beautiful, I placed a couple of Nessie's comfortable blankets at the bottom, and one of my feather pillows. Perfect, I thought in delight. I laid my head down, when I heard Esme's approach.
"Hey mom." I said as she opened the door to reveal her face.
"Emmett...are you okay?" Her voice was unsteady.
"Have you been crying again? Come, you need to rest." I said, her shoulders started shaking some more. Something's wrong! My mind screamed at me. "Mom, it's okay." I said. "I really didn't mean to break that window last week with the football. Just horseplayin." She came near me, patted my head.
"I wonder what's going on inside there."
"Ask Edward." I said, I was starting to feel tired, what a long day. She leaned in, and gave me a kiss on the forehead.
"Don't let the bed bugs bite." She quickly left the room.
After she left, I tossed and turned in my bed, I didn't remember how to do this, I haven't slept in almost a hundred years. I lifted my hand, to put under my chin, when I saw it. IT was big black and ugly with eight eyes staring right at me. I lept from my coffin and screamed. I screamed and tried to kill it by stomping on the spider. I screamed all the way down the stairs, I didn't stop screaming until I realized that everybody was laughing. I turned questionly to my mom.
"That wasn't very nice, mom!" I yelled.
"Oh, shut up Emmett!" Everybody yelled back.
"Come on, Rosalie and I have to pick up you guys clothes. Somebody new is coming." Alice got a vision just then and looked at me, so did Edward.
"Well, on that note, I'm going to go to bed now." I walked back up stairs muttering to myself. "Creepy vampires." I ducked before the pillow could hit me, but not before I got a kick on my butt. "Rude people, how did I get stuck with a bunch of crazy people?"
