DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. Not Twilight, not Disney Channel, not Wizards of Waverly Place, not ESPN. La duh. BTW: I have nothing against Disney Channel or Wizards of Waverly Place.
Part One
Chapter One
I hate my name. No other person in the world has my name. I don't mean that as in "My name is Deidre and no one in the world has my name!" I mean that as in it's physically impossible to have my name. My middle name is very common. My first name is a mixture of Renee and Esme, my mother's mother and my father's adopted mother.
Renesmee Carlie Cullen. That is my name. Gross, right. Most people call me Nessie. Wolf-Man gave me that nick-name because the name my mother gave me 'was a mouthful'.
My family is extremely protective of me. It's annoying. They're vampires, and I have blood pulsing through my veins, and more twice Jasper has attacked me. He's the newest 'vegetarian'.
Rosalie is very nice, but vain. Emmett annoys me to the core. Alice is extremely sweet and whimsical, and she understands my mood swings. Jasper... scares me, just a little bit. My father, Edward, is very musical. He taught me how to play the piano and it annoys him when I do piano solos to popular songs like 'Smile' by Lily Allen and 'Never Say Never' by the Fray.
My mother Bella is one of my best friends. Bella is kind and sweet and she loves me. She is so extremely pretty. I have her brown eyes, but they don't match my face. I have a too-big nose, lips that are un-even, and many, many freckles. I think she deserves better than me, but whenever Edward hears me thinking this, he goes and tells Bella, who comes to me and very lovingly tells me I'm 'the best'. Ugh, overused mom-talk.
Then there's Jacob. I wish everyday he would release me from his love. He claims we're "soul-mates" or he wouldn't have imprinted on me. I'm started to think the "soul-mate" thing is only one-way. I can tell the way he looks at me that he loves me. Every time I look back, I can see that he sees I'm not.
I go to Forks high. I am the only Cullen left. Bella, Edward, Alice and Jasper all graduated, Rosalie and Emmett the year before. The thing that's not so great is I have no friends. I scare people, and they stay away from me. Every morning Bella wishes me good luck at Forks high. I hate Forks.
Forks is the place where I'm vulnerable: everybody knows me. I want to move to Boston or even Maine or something where no one knows me and I can change my name to Carlie. I love my middle name. When we move, I'm going to politely ask them if I can go by Carlie instead of Nessie.
Zafrina is also one of my best friends, as is Kate. I love Zafrina and her "pretty pictures" as I called them. Kate is just nice, and she's one of my favorites.
After I was born, Rosalie found a fifteen year old girl dying in the street after she was a victim of a hit-and-run. She's still becoming a vegetarian, so it's going to be awhile until she goes to Forks high. Her name is Seraphena, but we all call her Sara.
So, that's my family: Bella, Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Sara, Carlisle and Esme. And Charlie Swan, my grandfather, and the wolf pack.
Seth is the nicest werewolf. Leah is the worst. Sam, Embry, Paul, and all of the others are somewhere in between.
"Nessie, where are you?" My mother calls. As if she didn't already know. She can hear my heart from miles away. Also, she can feel her thirst when she's with me.
"Mom, I'm right here." I prefer talking over touching people's face and showing them. She walks in, and her golden eyes showed excitement.
"Charlie's coming, so finish your homework and be waiting."
"I don't have any homework." She nodded.
"I was just checking, Nessie." I knew by the look she gave me, she's going to have Edward come and listen to my thoughts. I sighed and turned my iPod on. I plugged it into my iPod deck, and turned it to a song that made me happy.
"I wake up with a big smile on my face, and it never feels out of place..." I walked over to my desk, picked up two pens and drummed along to the song. I have a really good sense of rhythm. I have been begging Bella, Alice, Carlisle and Edward for a drum set. They shot me down quickly, so I'm just going to keep begging.
"Hi, Nessie." I looked over to my door, and there was Edward, staring at me with an amused look.
"Hi daddy. Is Charlie here yet?" He shook his head.
"Not yet, but he's coming." He walked over to me. "Still want that drum set?" I nodded and smiled.
"Yes, I still want a drum set." He sighed, and rolled his eyes.
"Are you ever going to give up?"
"Nope."
"Well then, I hope you enjoy disappointment." I stared at him.
"You told mom that when she asked you how you saved she from being smashed by a car! But you did tell her eventually, so you will cave! HA!" He hugged me.
"Nessie, Nessie, Nessie. You need to come up with better arguments." He walked out, and I turned off my iPod and followed him. I walked into our cute little living room. There were pictures of Edward and Bella, Edward, Bella, and me, and the Cullen family.
"Edward! Wait for me!" I screamed, and then ran into the forest. The leaves were turning yellow and red and orange. I love fall. Everything's so pretty and the sun goes down early so I don't have to be glowing at four o'clock in the afternoon. Then I did the most embarrassing thing: I tripped over a tree root. I hear my dad's musical laugh.
"Gosh Nessie, you take after your mother." I stuck my tongue out at him and got back up. I brushed the smashed leaves off of my jeans, and scowled. I smelled wet dog. That could only mean one thing: Jacob.
"Race you, dad!" I ran off and I knew he had already pulled ahead of me. I saw the Cullen's huge house and there was Alice, waving to me. I ran faster, and jumped on her.
"Alice!" She smiled and threw me off.
"Nessie, people would never believe you just saw me yesterday." I punched her arm. She sniffed. "I smell dog." I tried not to roll my eyes, but I did. I couldn't help it. She squinted at me. "Renesmee Carlie Cullen, are you upset Jacob is coming?" She gasped. He eyes glazed over, and she started to mutter.
"MOM; ALICE IS HAVING A VISION!" She was over here in a second.
"Alice, tell us what you saw." Bella stated calmly, while Alice blinked, and she was normal again.
"Nessie and Charlie are going to get into a fight about... Jacob." Her eyes cut to me, and then back to Bella. My mother nodded.
"Good to know. Thank you Alice." She turned to me. "Nessie, be nice to Charlie." I rolled my eyes.
"Also, blood is going to be spilled. Nessie is going to almost throw a glass cup at Charlie, then she doesn't, and she breaks it in her hand and she is going to bleed. Get Jasper out of here, please." I saw Jasper leave. Like they weren't listening to our conversation.
"Fine, no fighting, no glass cups." I said sarcastically. Bella nodded, and then she smiled.
"Kate and Zafrina are visiting tomorrow!" I jumped up and down.
"Oh my gosh, how could you not tell me these things until now?" I hugged my mom.
"It was a surprise." She laughed. "Oh my God, she doesn't even remember her own birthday." I tilted my head.
"Tomorrow's my birthday?" Oh. I didn't see that one coming. She nodded, and everyone laughed. I walked inside and threw a glass cup at the wall. I walked back out, and everyone was staring at me.
"Well, you didn't want me to throw it at Charlie." I love making what they say backfire. Rosalie spoke up first.
"Well, she got it out of her system." Emmett nodded.
"Yay Nessie!!" I rolled my eyes and went back inside. I threw off my shoes and plopped on the couch. I grabbed the remote and switched it on, absentmindedly changing the channels. I think I ended up on Disney Channel.
"The nerd store called, and they want your face back." I rolled my eyes. This was definitely Disney Channel. Wizards of Waverly Place, I'm pretty sure.
"Wow, Nessie. Your standards have gotten as low as Disney Channel? This is very sad." I rolled my eyes as Emmett strolled in.
"Yes. The things in my life are not of the highest standards, so I don't expect much." He smiled.
"Um, ouch?"
"Yes. I can tell that was painful for you." He snatched the remote out of my hand and changed it to ESPN. "Ugh. You are so predictable Em." He growled.
"Do not call me Em." I laughed. He hates my little nickname I gave him.
"I'll call you Emmett if you call me Carlie."
"I can't change your name."
"My mom got me a fake ID, and said my name was Vanessa Wolfe. So I already have changed my name."
"Nessie, you're a freak."
"Thank you, Em!"
"Shut up."
"No."
"Charlie's here!!" Alice yelled. I frowned.
"Em and I were having a perfectly good fight, Ali, and you just came in here, and RUINED it! Mean." Alice rolled her eyes.
"Everyone smile!" I plastered a smile on my face and quickly ran over to my mother and father. We opened our door, and there was Charlie, standing with a huge box wrapped in blue paper and a bright purple bow.
"Hi Bells." He gave my mom a hug. "Edward." He nodded to him. Charlie turned to me and smiled. "Happy birthday Ness." I smiled and took the present from him.
"Thanks Char-- I mean gramps. You didn't have to get me anything." I picked at the bow. I could practically sense his excitement.
"Open it." I rolled my eyes.
"My birthday's tomorrow." My mom gave me the 'evil eye'.
"Nessie, open it." I sighed.
"Fine." My mom walked over to me and muttered something everyone except Charlie could hear.
"Watch the attitude." I took off the bow, and then slowly picked at the wrapping paper. I heard Charlie sigh.
"Ness, you're the only person I know who picks at wrapping paper, other than Bella." Bella laughed.
"She got my best qualities."
"Stay in character, mom." I said quietly enough for her to hear. I finally had the present unwrapped. I laughed.
"Oh my God! A drum set! I love it!" I ran over to Charlie (slow enough so he wouldn't suspect anything) but fast enough to almost maul him down. I monster-hugged him "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He smiled.
"It was Rosalie and Emmett's idea." I squealed and ran over to Em and Rose.
"Thank you Rose, thank you Em." He smiled and hugged me, then handed me off to Rose.
"No problem. We knew Edward and Bella weren't going to get you one anytime soon, so we implied that you wanted a drum set." Rose said. I squealed again.
"Nessie, I haven't seen you this excited the whole time I've known you." There was one owner to that voice: Jacob. I put a fake smile on.
"Jacob, how... nice to see you!" He grinned at me.
"I know, I'm amazing. I've got a present for you." He handed me a medium sized box wrapped in aluminum foil. I took it from him, and again, picked at the paper. "My God Nessie, hurry up!"
"I'm sorry, I don't like presents!" I finally got to the box, I opened it and there was the one thing I didn't need: a framed picture of him.
"Wow." My voice cracked. "You shouldn't have." He really shouldn't have. I heard Edward snort. "This is great." My voice cracked at great. I rewrapped the picture and set it aside and walked over to my drum set.
"Hey Charlie, is this Yamaha?" He snorted.
"You expect me to know this?"
"You bought it, so yes, I do expect you to know this."
"Yes, I am pretty sure it's Yamaha." The drums were black, and very... me. I totally love them.
"Thank you so much Charlie!" I hugged him again, and then he came inside.
"Well, I gotta go." Jacob said. Most likely he had to go to an "official" wolf-pack meeting.
"Bye." He left, and Charlie walked over to me.
"Ness, that was very rude."
"What was rude?"
"How you treated Jacob."
"How was that rude."
"He got you a nice gift, and you blew him off."
"Jacob got me a framed picture of himself. I could have walked in my house and gotten one of those."
"It was still rude." I stared in shock at Charlie. What was he saying right now?
"Are you saying that because someone is cocky and arrogant and got me a picture of him, I need to thank him?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying." I whipped around and stormed off into the kitchen. I grabbed a glass cup. I walked back in and got ready to throw it at someone, but I squeezed it too hard, and it broke in my hand. Blood started to leak through the cuts, and I heard everyone except Charlie hold their breath.
"Goodbye Charlie." Bella said, shoving him out the door. I just stared at my hands.
"Ow." Was all I could say. Carlisle was here in an instant. He and Esme were upstairs the whole time.
"Nessie, don't move." He started to pick the glass out of my hands. It hurt. Not very much, but it was like a pinching feeling. "Renesmee Carlie Cullen, you have some major problems."
"Yeah. Please don't remind me, Carlisle." I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to stop.
It never did.
