Chapter 1 (Bella): Immortality & Perfection

Why Edward hated being a vampire is beyond me. I look beautiful. I never sleep. I get to be with Edward twenty-four seven.

Being Mrs. Cullen is great. Better than great, perfect. We haven't heard from the Volturi in a year now. I'm 18, forever. I love that word. Forever, forever, forever.

Renesmee is 16, now. It used to seem weird how fast she aged, but now it seems natural. I've long since gotten used to the idea of her and Jacob together for the rest of eternity.

Quill joined Jacob's pack last month. Now, all of the old pack (excluding Sam) is with his.

Sam's only way of keeping up is by recruiting the rash outbreak of new shapeshifters. Not just wolves anymore. He has one werefalcon, two werepythons, and a weretiger. I thought dogs hated cats. In my opinion, I like the wolves better.

Edward seems to like them more, as well. He seems to agree with everything I say or think. He is loving my ability to let him read my mind.

My day was lost in thoughts of the past until Alice foresaw something. We knew it was inevitable; that we couldn't stay in Forks for much longer, it's just we hoped no one would notice our non-aging skin.

Alice has been searching the future for someone accusing us of immortality, while Edward has searched the minds of the present. If someone even suspected us, we'd know.

"Alice, you saw something," I asked. It wasn't a question, I knew the look she had when she had her visions.

Alice confirmed my paraniod thoughts with a mellow tone. "I saw a vision of Mike and Jessica Newton coming to the house unnanounced, and discovering the difference in you, and the arrival of your teenage daughter."

The room was suddenly filled with our family, Jacob included. Everyone had been awaiting this day. Renesmee's eyes filled with joy. She was the only one excited about leaving.

"You mean I finally get to start high school?" She was obviously in no worry of losing connection with Charlie. Charlie's been a great part of her life ever since he married Susan.

I knew I had to relieve the tension of the room. "We can move to Alaska," I suggested. I knew Edward had been waiting for me to agree to move there. There is no way I'm going to college, though.

All of the other Cullens have gone to high school countless times. How they put up with is out of my grasp. School was bad enough once.

The only reason Renesmee wants to go to high school is because she wants real friends. She has Jacob and her family. I can't blame her for being bored.

My flashbacks were yet again interupted by Emmett's conformational question, "So we're moving to Alaska?"

"I guess so," I responded.

"YAY!" Renesmee was overjoyed. She rushed upstairs to pack most of my old clothes that I refuse to wear. Alice disaproves of hand-me-downs, but I've never worn them so she'll get over it.

We made the plans and went to bed despite the fact that only two residents of our house that actually sleep. Beds are useful in other ways, though...

Author's notes: I know it's a little short and kinda slow, but I wanted you readers to be caught up with where my story takes place. Chapter 2 is coming out soon! |^_^|
