It was about 6 1\2 years ago that I was born into this world. I came from the two most loving parents and family that I have ever known. We're a big family; there is mom, dad; my Aunt Alice, Uncle Jasper, Aunt Rosalie, Uncle Emmet, Grandma Esme, Grandpa Carslile; Grandma Renne, and Grandpa Charlie.
Technically I am six and a half years old; but to human eyes I am the ripe old age of 17, and will be forever. When I was born I grew at a very fast pace. No one knew if I would survive. It was a relief in more ways than one when we found out I would survive. There was another like me, and we write each other a lot. He tells me about his experiences. While I ask questions about what is in store for me. It has been helpful finding someone who is just like me.
The other side of my family; Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Renne don't really know what we all are. They have just accepted that I'm different and so is my family. They don't ask questions, although I know it makes them uncomfortable. They often ask why everyone always looks so young and hasn't changed in 6 years, maybe one day we'll be able to inform them. For now, it's a secret.
If you don't know my name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen, Nessie for short. My parents are both vampire's. Me on the other hand, well I am a little bit of both. Mortal… yet immortal. I was born not made. My heart beats, I am warm; but I have a craving for blood. I have gotten used to animal blood. Most people think of vampires as killers, but my family are vegetarians. We only eat the blood of animals, not humans. However; most all of my family members have one time or another in their past have killed humans for blood. They are no longer that way, it happens; especially as a newborn.
I have my mom's brown eyes from her human days. That is right! I almost forgot to mention, my mom was human when she had me. My father had to think quick while I was being born, and turned her into a vampire.
I am also strong like my dad, and well I have many other abilities, too many to name right now.
My parents story is romantic to me. They met in High School, my mom a human, my father well the vampire. They fell in love and got married. Not even a month after their wedding, I surprised everyone in our world. Up until then from what my family knew, it was impossible for a human to get pregnant from a vampire. I was born just short of my mom's 19th birthday.
My parents and I have been living behind Grandma and Grandpa Cullen (Esmee and Carslile) in Forks Washington since I've been born. My family talks about moving one day, we should have moved long ago. People started getting suspicious, so for now we just keep a low profile. We live in a small cottage, I think it's too small but mom and dad love it. I would much rather live in Grandpa Carslile's house. It's like a mansion, and 1000x the size of this shack.
We did leave Forks for a few years, to the east coast so that my parents could go to school at Dartmouth. My boyfriend Jacob he followed us to make sure we were okay. He is kind of like a guard dog, scratch that… it sounds mean; he's my guardian my protector. Once in love with my mother, but ended up imprinting on me. I have always loved him, but it was not until recently that it became more. Imprinting it's a wolf thing. Yes, Jacob is a werewolf. Once they imprint on someone it is like they dedicate themselves to take care of that person. They can love the person on so many different levels. We act like brother and sister around the family, but well we're seeing each other. It was hard for him to admit that he loved me more than a sister, but he did and now we have to explain to my parents this new situation.
Chapter 1
"Nessie, get in here and clean up your books please" it was mom her beautiful voice rang in my ear. My head lifted from my notebook and I looked around my room. I had my father put down a grey carpet over the ugly bare floor, the walls of my room were grey stone mosaic, with a wooden border on the bottom, I wasn't aloud to hang anything in my room.
My furniture was white, my bed was up against the wall directly across from the door. Next to my bed was a long window from my ceiling to the floor. My closet was to the left of my bed, and my dresser on the right, I also had about 3 book cases lined up next to the closet I read a lot. When I was technically a teenager Aunt Alice forced my Dad to make me a closet like they had. He didn't like the fact that I was only 6 1\2 dressing in teenage clothes.
"NESSIE NOW!" she hissed.
"I am coming, I am Coming" I moaned as I hoped off the bed.
I was too excited about my day tomorrow to clean up my books. It was going to be my first day of school. My parents enrolled me in Forks High School, this would be my first year going to a real school. I have been home schooled by Grandpa Carsisle since I was able to read. I wanted to make friends and be normal and experience what my mom had experienced. I ended up getting my way and was able to go to normal school.
I walked into the main room of the house, it had stone walls too, and a low ceiling. We also had a beautiful fire place, where when I was little… well.. Younger, he would read my stories. He still does sometimes.
"Could you please clean this up before your father comes home", there she was my mom, she's beautiful isn't she? Her pretty brown hair, pale complexion, and beautiful golden eyes.
"I'm sorry mom I was so excited about school tomorrow I almost forgot" I told her.
"It's alright, just take these to your room" she quickly turned back to what she was doing. It was habit every day she would dust, vacuum, and clean. I looked at the coffee table that was in front of the couch facing the fire place, which was roaring. It was cold a lot here in Forks. I picked up the books I had bought for school and then my backpack.
"Mom I need to go see Aunt Alice, she's picking out an outfit for me for school tomorrow"
"I guess we know where you got your fashion and beauty from, and it definitely isn't me" my mom laughed.
She had told me stories of her as a human, she was never graceful, she didn't like to wear nice clothes just jeans and a t-shirt did it for her. We didn't really ever go shopping together. Aunt Alice always took me.
Just as quickly as I had grabbed my books I was back in my room, I placed the books on my bed. I heard a howl outside my window as I began to walk out. I turned back to see him; my man Jacob. His russet colored fur blew in the wind. I went to open my window, as I did he phased back to a human with me standing right there. Jacob stood about 6'7, a few inches taller than me. I took my hands and placed them over my eyes. My window was now open and I felt the breeze blow through.
"Is that really necessary, I already know you have an excellent body, perfectly tan, 6 pack; but come on, can't you phase behind a tree" I moaned. I heard him giggle as I felt his warm body come closer to me. His hand touched mine and mine was pulled away from my face.
"Better?" he questioned me. He was wearing khaki shorts and no shirt, or shoes. His beautiful dark eye's stared into mine as our lips met. I pushed him away slightly not wanting to but knowing the consequences for having a half naked werewolf in my room.
"Jacob, my mom is in the other room, hello she can smell you, can't you at least bring a shirt," I looked at him and a smirk came across my face. I couldn't be serious around him.
"It's not that bad Ness, besides your mom loves me" he smirked. His hand touched my cheek, just as I heard my mom in the other room swiftly move for my room. I grabbed Jacob's arm, I was pretty strong I might add and turned towards the door.
"Jacob can I ask why you are in my daughters room half naked?" mom stood in the doorway with a yelled dust rag her hair was now tied back in a low pony tail.
"Can't I come visit Bella? I use to climb into your window. I can't come in through the front your house is to small" he noted. Every time he had come in through the front he would hit his head on the ceiling, although my room had a low ceiling too, it was a little easier for him.
"You two aren't up to anything now are you?" she looked at me then at Jacob, seconds later my father appeared at her side. He had a serious look on his face. His hair was light and stiff looking like always. His skin pale, and his eye's were as golden as my moms; except right now they were pretty black, he must have known Jacob was around.
"Bella what's going on?" he looked at my mother.
"Edward," Jacob nodded trying to be respectful. Those two didn't have a very good friendship when they first met form what I was told.
"Jacob…" he looked at him then me and continued "Nessie, Aunt Alice wants to see you she's been waiting for you I suggest you go" I looked at them, then at Jacob. I could see him concentrating, he had to make sure he controlled his thoughts around my father; he was able to read minds. He especially kept tabs on Jacob. Luckily Aunt Alice can't see Jacob or me in her visions, so we were in the clear. Well for now.
"Right I'm sorry, I'll see you later Jacob?" I turned to him and he smiled.
"Nessie you know that you need your sleep. Afterwards please come straight back here and get ready for bed," dad said staring at Jacob with fierce eyes.
"Why can't I be like you guys and not sleep? Sorry Jacob, I guess I will see you tomorrow," I sighed and grabbed my black velour jacket.
I reached the big house just a few leaps away from mine. The glass windows shown in the very dim light as the rain drops poured down. Aunt Alice was waiting for me on the front step, her arms were crossed. She was so tiny yet looked so irritated. She had short brown hair spiked at the bottom, and was petite. She reminded me of a fairy.
"Hi Aunt Alice, sorry to keep you waiting" I said as I got up the steps, I saw Uncle Jasper in the glass door behind her. His blonde hair stiff and crazy like my dad's almost, and his eyes black and his face as pale as everyone else. He opened the door for us and smiled down at me.
"It's okay let's go try on some clothes" she said taking the serious look off of her face. I went up to her room, she had a closet ten times as big as mom's. I watched out the glass window and just below Jacob sat below in wolf form watching me. Aunt Alice cleared her throat. I turned my attention back to her.
"How's this?" she asked looking out the window. I looked at the outfit; a black and white polka dot spaghetti strap dress. In her other hand she had a black short sweater to go over it. She then grabbed a pair of black knee high boots and put them on the floor.
"Aunt Alice your amazing," I told her looking the outfit. My attention drifted back to Jake. I watched as the rain outside beat down on his fur.
"Alright sit."
She pointed toward the black sofa that I was standing next to. Her room was a rectangular shape, one side of the room was one giant window, while the other side was a normal wall, where her closet was. I kept my focus on the rain falling from the sky, then I felt her sit down next to me.
"What's with Jake, Why do you keep looking at him? I know something's up Nessie I can sense it. I can't see it but I feel something is up." she looked at me and ran her hand through my long wavy hair. I took a gulp and looked down. I sighed, and placed my hands on her cheeks. An ability I have had since birth.
He was waiting for me deep in the woods up against the river that divided the land. We had just returned home from back east. He was in his wolf form drinking the water. His head turned, he knew I was there. After seeing me he ran off and returned again in jean shorts and nothing else. I jumped as he grabbed my waist turning me to see him. We sat against the flowing water and had the usual conversation. Nothing major. It happened so quick, one thing led to another and his lips were set on mine. I backed away slowly at first before allowing him to continue. He smiled, grabbed my \face and I leaned in towards him. I had never felt anything so strong in all of my life.
I slowly removed my hands from her cheek. I put my head in my hands and waited for her response.
"Nessie….," her small arms wrapped around me.
"I'm sorry Aunt Alice, I know how mad my parents will be. You can't tell her or dad you have to keep your thoughts to yourself please."
I was now looking at her; my arms on her shoulders pleading with her. My father was able to read her mind, and it scared me now that I showed her the whole thing. I showed her that I was in love with him, with Jacob Black.
"Wow, I um.. they are going to find out sooner or later." She wasn't sure what to say.
"Please, I am not ready. Please don't I beg of you please Dad will kill Jacob if he knows."
Although I was now immortal, I still had every type of mortal ability. I let a few tears run down my cheeks. I heard Jacob cry below me he always knew when I was upset.
"I promise I will keep this a secret for now. I cannot say how long it will hold, but I will try. You have to tell them eventually promise me you will."
"I will I am just not ready."
I looked at her and I just knew she would not tell anyone. I knew that they had expected it, but Jacob had told them it was different with us.
"Go get some rest tomorrow is a big day for you. I will have the clothes here laid out for you on my sofa." She said with a smile.
"Thank you Aunt Alice you are the best." I hugged her and pulled away.
We weren't that far up, so I opened up one of her windows and hoped out near Jacob. I ran away from my house and into the darkness. I heard him panting behind me. By the time I stopped his bare chest was pressed against me, holding me in a bear tight hug. He kissed my head and I looked up at him.
"I showed her everything Jake." he looked at me, and wiped some of the tears falling from my eyes.
"I trust her to keep this secret safe for a while. Its not a good time to tell them it's just not." he held me tighter.
"I trust her too, but soon Nessie. I just can't keep it from them much longer. Your dad will have my head." I let out a slight laugh, and looked up at him. He leaned down and kissed me. First my lips, my neck, then back up to my lips.
"NESSIE WHERE ARE YOU?" my dad called. His voice seemed worried and a little annoyed.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" he looked down.
"I'll be outside your window all night," he promised.
"You don't have to its raining," I noted my hair was now extremely saturated.
"I want to" he told me. I smiled until I heard my father's voice again.
"NESSIE SWEETIE WHERE ARE YOU!" he sounded more concerned this time. I let go of Jake and ran toward my father's voice. It didn't take long for me to run into him. I plowed into him and gave him a hug.
"Woah! Nessie you are all wet. What were you doing outside I thought you were with Alice I'm going to kil…"
"No need for violence dad, I'm fine really." I reassured him. He hugged me tight, and then turned me so that we could head to the house.
"You smell like dog…" he looked down at me.
"Jacob wanted to say goodnight"
"In the rain? Doesn't that dog have any courtesy?" he questioned taking me under his arm, as we ran to our cottage. We opened the door, and tried to sneak in quietly so my worried mother wouldn't see me soaked.
"Edward is that… oh my Nessie." She ran to my side as Dad let go. I looked at her as she touched my wet hair and sniffed it.
"You were with Jacob when you were supposed to be with…"
"Mom," I almost yelled. I had to cut everyone off tonight didn't I?
"I saw Aunt Alice. Jake was just saying goodnight, and so am I. I need to dry up and get ready for school" I told her.
"Your right goodnight." She kissed me forehead.
"We love you Ness, just worried," he told me. I looked at the two of them.
"I am fine. Just nervous for tomorrow; goodnight," I told them.
I quickly vanished to my room closing the door behind me. After putting on some dry sweats and a black t-shirt I fell on my bed. I hard a small tap at my window. I picked my head up and looked over to see Jacob. I smiled and walked toward the window. Then opened it a bit ,but not enough to let the rain through.
"Goodnight my Jacob," I said petting him. As I tried to stand back up he licked my face.
"Ugh dog breath your gross do you know that?" I questioned him. He just smirked, and made a whining sound.
"Goodnight really for real this time," I told him.
I saw his cute grin underneath all that fur and shut the window I watched as he curled up into a ball outside my window. I went back to my bed and got myself tucked in and fell fast asleep, tomorrow would be a big day.
