To most it is a comforting thought to be considered unique and one of a kind, something special. Special is never how I would describe my situation. To live between two worlds yet never belong fully to one is a burden which I carried since birth. To be one of a kind is one thing, to be the only one of your species is something I would not wish on anyone.

"Nessie! The Porshe is running and I saw detention if you're not down the stairs in three minutes."

Alice had jumped excitedly into my room and was now throwing different items of clothing at me as I stood still in my dressing ground. Her gold eyes bore at me puzzling at my thoughtful expression.

"What's up kid? I know you don't move as fast as us but I swear Emmett is quicker than this!"

A disgruntled "Hey!" could be heard from downstairs. Before I could respond Alice's eyes grew quiet and she quickly hopped out of the room without explanation. I'd just finished zipping my faded denim jeans (which I had crept under Alice's nose) when my mother walked in. Tall and beautiful she made everyone around her (even sometimes Rosalie when she was being honest) take a little hit at their self esteem. Her skin ageless, her features perfected she sat down on my bed quietly waiting for me to spill. This was our usual way, even though dad could hear what I was thinking Bella didn't need his help. This was one of the many footfalls of a vampire family. Sure my own abilities made up for it but still, to have your mother look barely a year older than you was something any adolescent could do without.

"It's not as bad as you think you know. Starting school and everything, it'll be easier the next time around, I promise."

I sat down on my quilted bed and Bella slung an arm around my shoulders. She brushed a bronze tendril from my forehead and lifted her gaze to me.

"I know it's hard for you sweetheart, but just think how many other seven year olds get to start high school? You could still be swinging from the monkey bars?"

I had to laugh at this. Although my aging had basically hit its peak, it still amused the family how old and mature I was for my age. I guess one of the positives was that I missed the whole primary school stage of my life. I was growing too quickly at the time to be enrolled in school for any length of time and besides I was reading and communicating (the normal way) before my first birthday. Primary school, as dad put it, would only bring out the "mischief" in me. A lump rose in my throat, the largest obstacle still lay ahead of me. Bella examined my expression and realised what was really on my mind.

"Oh! Honey, I don't think you'll attack anyone, you've been exposed to Charlie and Jacob for years, you won't have a problem. And all the times Alice dragged us shopping? Those crowded malls? We all have to maintain our control."

She was too perceptive for her own good sometimes.

"Yeah but mom, Anchorage people may be different, we haven't lived here that long."

It was true our move to Alaska had only incurred a few months ago. Carlisle felt the need to move necessary because as much as we loved Forks, Carlisle was too suspicious at work and all of the Cullen kids but me had graduated, even Jacob. The move had been hardest on him. He had to leave his pack and family behind. The only positive for Jacob was that he got to leave his house. After Billy had died of cancer a year ago, Jacob's home had become more like a prison. While we lived in Forks he refused to come live with us, despite my offer. He felt he owed it to Billy, even though it tortured him to walk by his father's empty room each day. It was only when we decided to move that he was forced to move with us. The positive of Jacob imprinting on me was that he would follow me to the ends of the earth, as I would for him although I was given choice in the matter. He fitted me perfectly, although at first a big brother figure, our relationship developed as we, well I got older and began to see him as more than Jacob.

"Renesmee"

Mom snapped me back to reality.

"We really need to go hon, but remember we're going to be with you the whole time."

I groaned.

"Mooomm!"

"Well not the whole, time I mean we'll be in an older grade, but we'll see you at lunch and you can come to me or your dad anytime you need."

I groaned, as much as I loved my parents dearly it was sometimes a little daggy to be hanging out with your mom even if no one knew you were related. Bella smiled. She then wrapped her arms around me tightly before I yelped at her.

"Ok, ok I get it no smothering!"

"Yeah I thought I was the only one who got to do that now."

Jacob was leaning against my doorway, his smell less repulsive after the intolerance I had built over our years together. Still, the wet dog smell was one thing I could live without. Bella let out a frustrated growl in the back of her throat.

"For goodness sake's Jacob! Mother, daughter moment in progress! You never did have a sense for timing."

They looked at each other with mock ferocity but both knew the true natures of their hearts. Thankfully my mother and my boyfriend were the best of friends, so I avoided the meet the parents scenario. Well my dad and Jacob still growled at each other on occasion, although I couldn't fathom why. The rest of the family, besides their cheap puppy cracks, had accepted Jacob in the best way that they could. Rosalie and Jacob were always up for a good exchange of banter. But for some unexplained reason my father and Jacob disliked each other. My parents had explained very little of my mom's life before she changed as it was still foggy to her. I'd always felt like there was a piece I was missing.

"Nessie!"

Both Jacob and Bella were staring at me now. I blushed, a feature both my father and Jacob approved of greatly. Alice called from downstairs.

"Congratulations you guys detention on Nessie's first day! So much for a perfect record."

Jacob, Bella and I had all moved downstairs by this point and were watching Alice flit across the room, much to the amusement of Jasper, Rosalie, Emmet and my dad who all wore amused expressions across their devastatingly beautiful features. Emmett saw me approach and picked me up lightly and carried me to the car followed by the procession of vampires.

"With Edward you stood a chance of staying straight, but with Bella as your mom, you never had a chance squirt."

He whispered into my ear as he dropped me ungracefully next to the Porsche.

"I heard that!"

Bella smacked Emmett across the head as she climbed into the front seat of the Porsche. Esme came running out from the house just as I was about to climb in. I didn't know any other grandmothers that looked like that in heels. She ran at me and encased me in her icy hug.

"Carlisle wanted to wish you luck but he picked up an early shift at the hospital this morning. I would have woken you but you're such a sleepy head."

"That's ok Esme, he said good luck last night before I went to bed."

She kissed my forehead before crossing the yard to her shiny Mercedes and driving off to her interior design office. Her thirst was now controlled enough, thanks in large part to her exposure of me, that she was ready to start doing what she loved.

Jacob shook his long black hair at me and shoved me into the backseat of the Porsche alongside Rosalie.

"Aww does the mutt have to ride with us? Now I'm going to be stinking like dog all day!"

Jacob glared at Rosalie across me.

"Bite me blondie."

"Gladly puppy."

I smirked and pushed their heads back to their headrests.

"Quiet children, don't distract the driver."

The whole car burst into laughter, the irony of the statement not lost on them. Alice turned the ignition on and I heaved in a deep breath, something that my physical capabilities required me to do. I let it all out in one long breath trying to clear my head for the first of many stresses. Jacob's nose nuzzled my cheek and his warm hand blazed in mine. My eyes wandered over to him and his cheeky grin numbed my worries reminding me what I had, even though I was the in between.
