Prelude
I ran through the woods, hoping to be able to lose them. I didn't know who or what they were but I knew they were dangerous. I heard them laughing all around me, but I kept running. I knew, when I saw one of them in front of me it was too late, that running was useless. My heart sped up when I saw his red eyes. What had happened to him? His short black hair was parted and looked very neat, but those red eyes. He looked like a young super model, very pale though with dark circles under his eyes. "Where ya going Renee?" He asked me with a smirk.
I turned and started to run a different way but another one was there too. Her long blonde hair waving slightly with the wind. She giggled quietly and said "Hey Max I think she's scared." Then she said "Listen to her heart race." She then licked her lips slightly.
"Amy she's mine. Go find your own food." He said on a snarl.
Food? Surely they aren't talking about me! I said to myself. They couldn't be talking about me, but I knew deep down that they were. Max stepped closer to me but I stepped back trying to keep my distance from him. He chuckled, then was right in front of me. "Boo!" He said then hit me in the chest, knocking me across the little field we were now in. That's when everything started to fade. He walked up to me with an evil grin on his face. I knew there was nothing I could do. Why did I have to run away from my foster parents? Surely they were better than this? He stepped on my leg breaking it so I couldn't run again. I heard a scream as it got darker. I would later realize that the scream had come from me.
He reached down and grabbed my hair, pulling my head back to expose my neck. "You sure do smell good." He said quietly. I was about to lose it though.
"Hey!" I heard someone yell. It was a beautiful voice that rang like bells. A small woman came into view, followed by a beautiful young man. They also looked like super models. The woman had long curly mahogany hair and the young man had short unruly hair that was an unusual copper color. I had seen them before.
"This is my prey! Go find your own!" The little boy Max yelled.
"Get away from her." The woman said, she was closer now.
"No I caught her all by myself!" He said.
That was all I heard or saw. Everything faded. I was surrounded by blackness. It was silent and dark and somewhat peaceful.
Chapter 1
Bella's POV
We pulled up into our new home. We had to move from Forks. I was depressed cause I didn't want to leave Charlie, but he was ok with it and he has Sue now. It's been five years since the fight in the meadow. And a lot can happen in five years. We met some other vegetarians that were really nice. The male vampire was working on a formula that would allow us to be out in the sun. They lived in New York now and said they would send us some of the finished product. Two weeks before we decided it was time to move we received some in the mail.
After we tested it in Forks on a sunny day and found out it worked wonders we decided where we were going to move. We are now in front of our very large house in Benton, Tennessee. A wonderfully sunny place during the summer. It was spring right now, yet still sunny. They were in a drought.
I stepped out of the car and lifted my head towards the sun. It felt amazing. I heard Edward chuckle and I turned to look at him. He was wearing that crooked grin I loved so much, as he looked into my eyes. I still couldn't believe he was mine. I lifted my shield and asked him what was so funny.
He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Nothing, Love. Just thanking God that you're mine."
"Ugh. Mom, Dad, get a room!" our daughter Renesmee said as she climbed out of the back seat. She looked like she was fifteen, acted like she was fifteen. But in years she wasn't nearly that old. Her ageing had slowed down considerably. She was going to be allowed to start a real school this year and she was thrilled about it. We still had several months until school started back so we could get adjusted with how much sun screen we needed to put on and how often.
Jake stepped out then and laughed. He towered over all of us now. Well except Emmett. "Nessie you should be used to it by now." He said as he ruffled her hair. The look on her face was priceless and had us all laughing.
Carlisle and Esme pulled in after that, followed by Alice, Jasper, and then Rose and Emmett. Esme got out a looked over the house. All the furniture was already hear along with most of our clothing. Which I didn't understand why we brought the clothing. Alice was sure to go on a shopping spree and buy new ones. Edward and I looked at Rose, then Alice. We starred at one another for a brief second then took off inside to get the best bedroom. Edward beat them all of course and when I entered what was going to be our bedroom I smiled. He was standing by the large picture window with the sun shinning on him. Alice and Rose met at the door and pouted. I couldn't help but laugh. They then took off trying to get the next best bedroom. I heard Alice jumping and clapping her hands when she found the one with the largest closet.
I shook my head then turned to Edward. "So Mr. Cullen. What is our story hear?" I asked as I walked to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. He smiled and kissed me on the head.
"Carlisle will explain after we're all unpacked." Edwards said.
I nodded and walked over to our radio and put in one of our new favorite bands HIM. Then walked over to our bags and quickly unpacked the rest of our clothing. "Well We are done packing. Wanna go hunting?" I asked with a wide grin. He chuckled ad reached out to take my hand.
We jumped out our window and ran through the woods. We had to be careful because our property bordered the Cherokee National Forest. We caught the sent of a heard of deer and ran towards them. Slowing down when we got closer. We both caught a buck and drank until we were reasonably full. After disposing of the carcasses we ran back to the house. Everyone was getting seated at the table when we walked in.
" Perfect timing you two." Carlisle said as he sat at his usual spot at the table. The chair on the end. We all sat around in our designated spots and turned to Carlisle. "I'm Dr. Cullen. I will be working at Erlanger in Chattanooga. It's normally a long drive for humans but not as long for me. Esme is, of course, my wife. Alice and Bella are sisters. The could easily pass off as twins but Alice is a year older than Bella. Your last names are Swan. You two were adopted by me and Esme when you're parents, good friends of ours, passed away in a car accident. Edward, you are Esme's nephew. Your parents died when you were still a child and Esme and I took you in, your last name is Cullen. Rose and Jasper. Your last names are Hale, again. You're twins, and have just recently been placed in our care as foster kids. Emmett you will have your real last name. McCarty. You were placed in our care when you were ten. You're other foster parents were not the best in the world so you were placed in our care and we adopted you, but you chose to keep you last name." He looked around at all of us then passed out envelopes for us all. The envelopes contained our new birth certificates, social security cards and so on. "Now as for Renesmee. You could pass off as Bella's sister but you look more like your father. So you are also a Cullen, which shouldn't be too hard for you." He said with a smile. "Edward is your older brother. You were a baby when your parents died, so you don't remember much about them. And Jake. You're just a friend. You won't be attending high school. You look to old for high school." Carlisle said on a chuckle. Jake just grinned.
"That's cool. That'll give me a chance to sniff around the property." Jake said on a grin. We all knew he would be following Renesmee around the school. In the wood line of course.
After that we all separated. Me and Edward went to the sunroom where his piano waited. He sat down on the stool and waited for me to sit next to him. He was teaching me to play, but mostly I sang when he played. This time he played my lullaby. I smiled and laid my head on his shoulder as he played. Renesmee soon joined us. She loved watching her father play.
After he finished my lullaby he began playing a familiar song. My Immortal. I immediately began singing:
I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me
After I finished singing Renesmee had the tears that I would have if I had them to shed. I had wrote that song, more as a poem, when Edward left me so many years ago. He had wrote the music himself after he had read it and we turned it into a song. I turned to him then and kissed him gently. The song no longer hurt me as it had before, and it only reminded me we were together now and always.
It was now dark and Renesmee yawned. She was exhausted from the long drive. "I think I'm going to go crash." She said in the middle of another yawn. She then stood and walked over to me and Edward.
I stood and hugged her close. "Good night baby girl." I whispered.
"Good night mom." She said then hugged Edward. "Night Dad." She said as she hugged him then headed up stairs.
We all knew Jake would be at her window in wolf form. He had done that since she was a baby. It was part of the imprinting. "I'm going to go tell Jake to come in or take the blasted cover." I said as I reached up and pulled Edwards face to mine, kissing him deeply. When I pulled away I said with a mischievous grin "Then I will meet you upstairs"
Edward nodded then was upstairs in a flash. I chuckled as I grabbed the cover for Jake and walked out side. He was there just like I knew he would be. He whined in greeting as I walked over to him. "Hi Jake. You could come in you know." I said and saw him shake his head telling me no. I laughed quietly. "I thought that would be your answer. Then at least take this cover. It's still a little chilly out here. Lay down and I'll cover you up." I told him and he did as I said, which made me giggle. I didn't tell him what I thought though, I didn't want to upset him. I placed the cover around him and kissed his head. "Good night Jake." I said then quickly went upstairs. I opened our bedroom door and grinned when I saw Edward on the bed, music playing softly n the background. I closed the door quietly and went to the bed. We didn't come back out till the next morning.
