Prologue

"Renesmee! Come down here!" Alice yelled.

Alice gave me a dress that probably was expensive and wasn't from the United States. It had dark purple silf fabric and was sleeveless. I put on my black sandal heels and headed downstairs. The room was covered in lilies and white roses, silver bowls and vases were filled with flowers and crystal plates were stacked next to a cake. The cake was three tiers, to tiers were white with lilies covering them and one tier was purple with a white rose laying on top of it. Next to the cake was a small stack of presents (which was good because I dind't want a lot of stuff), I hope I wasn't getting any clothes, it was already hard enough keeping up with my excessive growing, I didn't want to rip any birthday clothes.

"Surprise!" They all yelled.

I looked back and smiled at them. They were dressed up as well, Alice must have picked out their cloths for them. Grandpa and grandma came to give me a hug first and then Jasper and Alice. Emmett gave me a big bear hug and then my parents finally gave me a hug. I didn't see Rosalie anywhere which was weird because I remembered she used to coddle me ever since I was born. It was suffocating in a way. Jacob told me he would be late so I didn't bother looking around for him. Esme passed me and grabbed a medium sized box from the stack. She handed it to me with ease but I had some trouble holding it up by myself.

She smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, sweetie, I forgot." She took the box from me and put it on the coffee table, I sat down on the couch and started to unwrap my present. Everyone took a seat around me, they seemed more enthusiastic than I was. I guess that comes from my mom. After I got the last of the wrapping paper off the present, a small, black chest sat infront of me. Calliography of my name was engraved in the top of the chest, it was white and designs surrounding it. The The chest also had two bells engraved in the corner and music notes in the opposite corner.

I was confused. "What does this mean?"

My mom smiled. "The bells is my nickname, Bells, and the music notes is of your father's piano skills. And, the chest is black because of Jacob's last name."

I looked down at the chest and smiled, it had an element of my family...well, my immediate family. There was a gold lock to infront of the chest, I unlocked the lock and opened the top. Inside the top of the chest were jewelry I had gotten from past birthdays, holidays, and Alice, of course. At the bottom was pictures of my family, Jacob, and of trips we had taken.

"Grandpa and grandma, thank you so much!" I went over and hugged each of them before returning to my seat. Next was Emmett's and Rosalie's present, Emmett handed me a small box that was wrapped in purple wrapping. There was tape covering the present so I knew Emmett had down it himself, his fingers were just too big. I took the present from him as he sat beside me, once the wrapping was off I opened the box and saw a pair of diamond earrings, and knowing this family...they were real.

"Thank you, Uncle Emmett!" He bear hugged me like he always did and knocked the breath out of me.

"Nessie! Open our present now!" Alice squeezed in between me and Emmett and handed me the box, it was big and thin...clothes. I tore off the wrapping to see clothing when instead was a beautiful rose that had been dipped in gold. "It's real." Alice pointed out.

"It's...beautiful. I've never seen anything like it before." I gave Alice and Jasper a hug before I went back to the table.

"And, our's is last." My father walked over to me and handed me a small box. I opened it and saw a silver chain with a crystal heart attached to it, inside the heart was a crimson red like liquid swirled inside the heart. It must of been a symbol of when my mom was human and my dad was a vampire. I looked back at my mom and saw how beautiful she was, just like the rest of my family. Her eyes were the liquid topaz and her skin was just as pale and was sparkly when she was in the sun but I liked her when she was human. She looked...normal, the way she should, but this is what she wanted. I looked over at my dad and saw his head lowered in shame, I held hins hand in mine and told him he did what was best and my mom would be dead if it wasn't for him. He made his crooked smile and I knew he felt better.

"Happy Birthday, Ness." I turned around and saw my Jacob. I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist, usually he hugged me back, but not today."Jake, what's wrong?"

"Ness, I have other obligations to attend to. I'm sorry, but I'm leaving."

I backed away from him. "What?"

"I'm sorry."

Tears fell down my cheek. "Get out."

"Ness, don't be like this."

"Get. Out."

He frowned. "Ness, quit it."

"Get out, you stupid dog! GET OUT!"

"Ness, let's talk about this."

I raised my hand and he thought I would show him my memories but instead I smacked my hand acrossed his face.

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen, you will apologize." My mother demanded.

"I will never apologize to this dog. EVER!"
