"These were one of the moments where I wish he could read my mind"

Well, you're lucky.

To be seen and yet not touched, it was hard for me. I seemed to be here, sitting all alone, everybody fawning over me. I could touch them, give them an insight into my mind, but sometimes it was hard. So here I was, sitting in Emmet's truck, Aunt Rose was fumbling with my hair and I seemed to be glowing older and older every day. There was a burning thirst in my throat but there was nothing I could about it, my mother and father were out hunting, they'd be back in no time. I smiled as I looked out of the window, spotting just the shadow of the person that was following us, my Jacob Black. I smiled and giggled out of the window, not being able to hold in my excitement. He was following us, releasing himself from his boundaries, my Jacob. I looked up when Aunt Rose hissed, they still didn't seem to get along, unless they were somewhat speaking of me.

"The mutt should've stayed; he has no place with us." As usual her voice was venomous, yet somewhat beautiful. So I stared at her, her soft blond locks that twisted and smiled. She seemed to mirror what I had done, more astonishment in her voice as I placed my hand on her cheek, letting her see into my mind. I showed her that I didn't want Jacob to be upset, and I told her to live with it. I never really liked speaking. Then I looked forward, the booming laughter of Uncle Emmett, startling me just a bit. I looked towards him, slightly grimacing over the sudden boom of his voice, slowly he began to speak.

"Sorry Nessie, just saw your Mum and Dad, they're outside, look." So I did so, hearing my Mum's wind-chime like laugh. I smiled to myself, clapping my hands together and laughing softly. I saw that they were racing, obviously looking forward to coming home, our new home. But then something caught my eye, my reflection in the mirror, here I was, my smile not deafening, my eyes seemed a shade so beautiful they had to belong to my mother and my locks, they had yet to stop growing as Aunt Alice wouldn't let me get a haircut. And these clothes I had on, rooted from all sorts of French brands, I didn't like them, as didn't my mother, yet I had to wear them, we all didn't like hurting Alice's feelings. I sighed softly, my eyes quickly fluttering towards the house, my new home, my new life. I could now be Renesme Carlie Cullen. I smiled softly at the sudden rush which seemed to rush through me, leaving my already fast beating heart to beat even faster, which was quiet, a surprise. I let out an exasperated sigh as I looked out of the window, seeing my future, seeing my new school, then I saw myself, catching it in my reflection. I sighed; I looked so grown up, about seventeen. It seemed I was growing too fast so I tried capturing my memories, it surprised them how my knowledge seemed to catch up just as fast as my growth. I chuckled softly to myself, my voice shrill and musical as Aunt Rose and Uncle Emmett turned towards me, expecting me to say something. But before I could say it all I let out a sharp breath, here it was our new home. Welcome to Virginia. I stared in awe at what seemed to be a capturing photo, it was dark and there wasn't enough sun to give us away. Mother and Father had enrolled me in the local high-school and Jacob was enrolling with me. It was fun and I couldn't wait, but I'd have to pretend to 'meet' my Jacob. He'd gone to school two weeks before me, to get that sense of surprise but he often went home during breaks just to see me. It was true; we couldn't live apart, what made it more special was that I was imprinted upon and that I was born into this world with a love that would last forever. I sighed as I stared out the window, Jacob was probably phasing back into human form so I stepped out, opening the door and staring into the car in which Uncle Emmett and Aunty Rosalie sat. They both turned to me, smiling softly as Uncle Emmett began to speak.

"Nessie, be good, okay? I don't want any guys tripping over you or else Uncle Emmett will have to give them a visit." I rolled my eyes; he could sound so typical, as I turned towards my laughing Aunt Rose, smiling as she began speaking.

"Monkey Man, please don't bother Nessie, she can take care of herself, besides, she's one of us." I smiled thankfully, booming into my own chorus of laughter as I smirked smugly towards my Uncle Emmett, looking to make fun of his nickname. He challenged me, looking at me and furrowing his eyebrows as I sighed, realizing I was in school grounds and that I couldn't cause trouble. I gasped in a startled way as I turned to my sides; here stood my mother and father, looking so elegant and beautiful. It seemed I was meant for this family, even if we all stayed the same age. I sighed again as my Aunt and Uncle swiftly handed me my backpack and I strapped it onto my bag. Smiling I touched my mothers and fathers face, showing them not to worry and telling them Jacob would take care of me. They both nodded once, mother and father giving me kisses on my forehead as I turned towards Uncle Emmett and Aunt Rose, waving before stepping into the boundaries of my new school. I smugly smiled to myself, trying not to look too fleetingly obvious as I pretended to peer around, sighing to myself and beginning to walk towards the office, I closed my eyes at the people trying to stare at me. So slowly, I walked into the office, trying not to get my speed to play out as I stared up towards the lady in the front desk. She looked up at me, her eyes suddenly bulging of course as I began to speak, trying to deepen my somewhat shrill voice.

"Hello, I'm new here, my name's Vanessa Cullen." Vanessa I always thought why they named me that and I never really got to a conclusion, I knew it was easy because Vanessa could have a nickname called 'Nessie'. I sighed, obviously I didn't want this but I looked up expectantly at the lady who took out a piece of paper, handing it to me and smiling as she began to give me instructions. Of course Aunt Alice had already informed me of everything so I nodded my head continuously pretending to listen as my eyes darted all around the room. Then I saw his reflection, making me get a smug smile of my face as the woman beside me stopped speaking. Slowly, I turned towards her, smiling thankfully before grabbing the piece of paper and walking out, my eyes landing vaguely on Jacob before I smiled, walking straight past him. We would speak later, during first period. Then, as predicted, the bell rang and I made my way to the building clearly marked 'A'. Thankfully my teacher was gawking at me too much to ask me to introduce myself as I quickly fleeted my way to the backseat, smugly sitting next to Jacob with a smile on my face. I could feel his warmth right next to me as I looked to the front, listening to the teacher, but not at all intently. I had learnt this before. I sighed softly as Jacob's eyes pierced into mine and he began to speak, holding his hand out to me.

"Hey, nice to meet you, I'm Jacob, Jacob Black." I smiled softly, reaching for his hand and enveloping it in mine, his heat calming my muscles as I began to speak, the beauty in my voice so recognizable.

"I'm Vanessa, Vanessa Cullen, nice to meet you Jacob." The other people in my class stared at us, obviously listening to our conversation as I released his hand. Obviously they saw what were in our eyes, as if we've known each other for a long time. But that was true, we just wouldn't admit it. Time seemed to travel fast when I was with him, and I thought it was great, but I couldn't help but notice the peers from the corners of the room. I sighed as second period passed quickly and I chuckled softly. Finally, lunch time. I looked around in the cafeteria, waiting for Jacob to appear somehow, so I stalled, pretending to look lost until I felt a tap on my shoulder. Slowly, I swiveled around, being taken aback as the person in-front of me smiled. It was not my Jacob. I sighed softly, another shiver going through my veins as I smiled up at my Uncle Jasper. He was apparently supposed to be some cousin, smiling fleetingly towards him then pointing towards Jacob who I spotted on another table I began to walk, seeing the people watch in awe after us. Then it was their turn, Aunt Alice's, my mother's and my fathers. So we were supposed to be siblings, me of course being the youngest.

"Oh, here they come." I heard Jacob say thickly behind me as I shook my head, a smug smile coming over my features. It was always fun to watch their reactions. Slowly, I turned towards the doors of the cafeteria that seemed to burst open. Then, there she was, talking to my father and clinging onto his hand as Alice skipped freely behind them, smiling to herself as they quickly walked to us. I waved softly, remembering our little charade and beginning to speak.

"Oh, Alice, Jasper, Edward and Bella, I'd like you to meet Jacob." I motioned towards Jacob. "Jacob, this is Alice, Jasper, Edward and Bella, I'd introduce you to Emmett and Rosalie but they're not here at the moment." I smiled softly, letting Jacob shake each of their hands and smirking all to myself. I then sat down, looking down at the plate of food which was in-front of me. I sighed, as I looked at the pizza, grabbing a piece of topping and beginning to gnaw on it. It was terrible, like eating dirt, but it was digestible, so I continued to eat, pretending there was nothing at all wrong. My family did the same of course, except Jacob who seemed to thoroughly enjoy his food. Alice then laughed to herself, and I knew exactly what she'd seen. Slowly, I heard the slight snarl of my Aunt Rose as she looked down at Jake's and mine intertwined fingers.

"Hello, mutt. Everyone else." She smiled to herself as Jacob looked towards her, waving softly with a sheepish smile as she glared. I laughed to myself, rolling my eyes slightly as I looked towards Uncle Emmett, waving as the two began to sit on the table. We seemed crowded yet to comfortable, it was cozy, but obviously not for everyone else. I could feel their digging holes, I was too caught in my own world, but I knew that they were staring, they always did. So tiredly, I yawned, my eyes darting around the room in a quick second as I saw somebody peering at my mother. I clenched my jaw; I hated people staring at my mother like that, like she was some object of affection. Shaking my head, I touched my father's hands, letting him see what I had seen as he quickly drifted his eyes to mine, shaking his head just once, a reaction no human would've seen. He'd seen it now and he'd warn mother soon enough. I smiled softly once more as we all fluidly ate our food, my eyes drifting to Jacob who stared at me, dropping what he was eating as if to stare in my presence. I could feel them, the needle-like eyes, staring at us as if we were the main subject of interest. It was interesting in a way, but interest wasn't going to clear out my growing thirst for human blood. Noisily I gulped, my throat stretching out slightly much to my dissatisfaction and I knew that soon enough I'd have to take a breath. And so I did, letting the various smells intoxicate my airways as I closed my eyes, looking towards Jacob. As I stared I began to remember his face, paint a clear picture. I stared at his short hair and at the way his skin seemed to glow around mine, the way his body was so warm I could feel the heat prickling my skin, and the way his eyes seemed never to leave mine, like he'd studied me ever since he'd imprinted. I'd never been in this state before and it bought me great pleasure to find that my love could be my best friend, one that would know me for a long time. But I sighed, the ringing in my ears immediately signaling a start to a new class as our family dissembled, Jacob trailing softly behind me as we walked to our next class. Now people seemed to have gathered up the courage to speak to me; even one boy did as I made my way into class, he seemed pretty cool, in a puppy love kind of way, his brown hair just fringed his eyes and his smile would knock any normal human off their feet. But that was the key-word, human, and I was definitely none of that. But yet he seemed interested, thinking prominently that my beauty was perfectly matched to his. Being one to show his attitude, Jacob walked past, brushing his shoulder against the much smaller man as he bustled his way to his seat. As the guy in-front of me began to speak, Jacob's eyes never seemed to leave us, the way they slit made it look like they were bullets, pushing through the brain of the guy before me.

"Hey, you're new here, right? Well, my name's Ryan, welcome to Virginia, how're you?" He smiled cutely, looking at me up and down as I sighed softly, beginning to speak with the charm which always seemed to engage in my voice.

"Hello, nice to meet you, my name's Vanessa, Vanessa Cullen." The lie I had told about my name almost seemed convincing, at least I had gotten rid of the curiosity within my voice. His eyes seemed to bulge out at my voice as he seemed to love the way it sounded, but before he could retort the teacher bustled in, Jacob chuckling under his breath as Ryan turned to me once more, beginning to speak as he made his way to his desk.

"I'll just see you later, okay Ness, if I can call you that?" I nodded once, and then elegantly made my way to Jacob's desk, holding his warm hand tightly with mine as I began to show him what I was thinking. I showed that he didn't matter and that I loved him, this wasn't a lie at all. But he still continued to grumble and I caught a few snips of his sentences.

"And he calls you 'Ness'…like he thinks he's all that I swear.." The state of jealousy in his voice made me chuckle, but the intensity made me shiver softly. I didn't want him to hurt anybody and he knew that. So I continued on listening to the lesson, hearing him speak just beyond human ears as I laughed, letting the day pass by.

Before I knew it, it was home time again and I smiled as I walked happily into the school parking lot, it was then when I opened my car keys which Aunt Alice had told me were placed in my left pocket. I smiled as I pressed the button to my new Aston Martin Vanquish. I stared intently at its features, hearing Jacob speak in a hushed tone behind me, shaking his head in disbelief. I smiled and turned around swiftly, throwing the keys towards him as he caught it, looking at me with a question as I nodded, proceeding towards the passenger side. We both smiled as we got into the car, making no hesitation as we pulled away from the parking lot. From the corner of my eye I swear I saw Ryan wave. I smiled smugly to myself this time as we pulled to the side, Jacob turning towards me and raising his eyebrows suggestively as he leaned towards me, his warmth making me crave for more as I gently pulled his head towards me, pressing my lips to his and feeling the slow surge of heat pull through me. It was like a war between Jacob and I, our lips seemed to compliment each other, moving in almost the same direction, my body giving him cold while his gave me warmth. I didn't even notice the smell anymore, it had completely blended in. Though I couldn't help but roll my eyes when Aunt Rose and Aunt Alice complained about my revolting smell. I smiled softly as I pulled away from Jacob, laying my head against the headrest breathlessly as he smiled at me, and then began speaking as he drove the car.

"You know, Nessie, I really don't like that Ryan guy, he looks like a woman, that piece of scum." He scowled as I laughed softly, like a bunch of wind-chimes as I turned towards him, beginning to speak with a hinted piece of joy in my voice.

"Jake, be nice. I mean he was trying to make friends, poor dude probably has heaps of people tripping over him." Jacob scoffed as I chuckled silently; he looked over to me and then flickered his eyes back onto the road as he began to speak.

"Nessie, be reasonable, you seriously thinks he wants more of you than adding another notch onto his list?" I hated it when he made sense so I let out a defeated sigh, shaking my head as I began to look out the window.

"Alright, sure, you win. But I'm telling you, just, be nice." He seemed to like the fact that he won as he looked at me suggestively, beginning to speak in an alluring tone.

"So, what's my prize?" I laughed softly, shaking my head as I looked up into his eyes, being tempted right there and then to kiss him.

"Hold your thoughts there, Romeo, my father may just read what you're thinking." I laughed to myself sheepishly, lying feebly and telling myself that he probably wouldn't be listening. Jacob seemed to laugh, speaking with a reason that made me doubt my nerves.

"Your dad's too busy with your mother to read anything." Evidently, I knew what he meant so I shook my head, letting a small giggle escape from my lips as he looked towards me, and we drifted our attention towards our home, our new home.
