CHAPTER 1
School life is boring, there is no fun there, no adventure at least not like the ones I have with my sister. Renesmee – my sister is older than me as my mother says but she looks exactly the same since uh, forever, but so does the rest of my family. Pale – beautiful – young and perfect; also perfectly still. Oh and I am not just talking about their physical appearance that seems to be frozen I am also talking about their movements. I was sitting on the last bench of the class in the corner like always waiting for the last period to get over so that I could run back home and back up my stuff and leave for Alaska.
That's where my father's cousin's stayed. My family sends me off to Alaska in every few months when the bad guys came to check in. Renesmee never made trips with me to Denali, it was always Tanya or Carmen who came to take me to Denali for a few days and drop me off to Forks when the bad guys left, nothing more was told to me and I was not curious to know anything more. I liked the Denalis, they were good and caring much like my own family, but I loved my mother the most and she loved me equally. We were similar in many ways one of which was that Uncle Edward – Renesmee's dad always said that we both are narcissistic, not that it bothers me or mom. Mom loves to dress me up and I love to get dressed and just like my mom I loved being appreciated. To my relief the bell rang and I was finally free from school for at least a week! I jumped out of my seat and made my way out of the class.
"Hey" I greeted Renesmee who was standing outside, waiting for me. "Hey" she replied back not in a very happy mood. She never liked when the bad guys paid visit, dad says it is because she has some horrible memories with them – all of them have horrible memories with them. I guess that's why they are the bad guys. "Cheer up Nessie" I said lightly punching her shoulder, "you know I can't" she replied dragging her feet through the corridor. "Why don't you come with me to Denali?" I asked her biting my lower lip after I did. "Well, the people are coming to see me" she said. "Why does Uncle Edward let them see you when they are the bad people? You are not getting married to one of them are you?" I asked knitting my eyebrows together. "What?! No!" Renesmee replied with a fit of laughter followed with it. "Yeah, Jake would kill the guy if he even thinks about marrying you" I mumbled and Renesmee blushed.
Renesmee and Jacob were like a thing – they never admitted that they liked each other at least not to each other but everyone knew that they are totally into each other. "Renesmee you gotta let the poor guy know that you like him!" I said like for the millionth time. "What if he doesn't like me that way?" Renesmee asked – again like a millionth time. "Even the blind can see he is in love with you!" I almost shouted. "Yeah – maybe not" she replied looking at the ground.
We got into Renesmee's car and she pulled out of the parking lot. "So you have packed yet?" she asked, "We were talking about you and Jake" I tried to bring her back onto the topic, "There is nothing left to talk about" she replied, "Oh! There is plenty" I defended. "Like what?" she asked, "Like why wouldn't you just admit that you like him?" I almost shouted once again, "Okay, Yeah, I like him!" she said, "to him" I said mentally face palming myself. "Because he doesn't like me!" she replied, "Renesmee, that guy has known you for your entire life, he has practically changed your diapers and still stuck around!" I said trying to knock some sense into her. "For the exact same reason I think he just looks at me as a sister or a friend" she said, "that doesn't make sense" I said lifting one eyebrow. "Have you ever changed diapers?" she asked me raising one of her eyebrows. "No, have you?" I asked and immediately regretted, she nodded and said, "Yeah that's why I am saying what I am saying" She has changed my diapers.
"But he asked you out?!" I shouted this time. "He said 'let's go for a movie'" Renesmee imitated Jake. "Yeah, that's called asking out" I replied. "It wouldn't be a date" she defended. "Okay Ness whatever, just give the poor lad a chance, would you?" I asked, "I'll have to ask dad" Renesmee said chewing her lower lip. "Will Uncle Edward say yes?" I asked knitting my eyebrows together and she shrugged. "Do you want to go out with him?" I asked with a grin. "What are you going to do?" she asked, "Just answer" I said impatiently. "Yes" she replied with a blush and I grinned.
"Now can we talk about your trip?" she asked. "Of course" I replied. "You'll leave tonight" she said in a low voice, "and come back by next Friday morning" I said, "1 week without school!" she said dramatically. "Well, Yeah!" I said happily. "Have you packed?" she asked. "You didn't help so I didn't pack" I replied shrugging my shoulders. "I will help you now" she said pulling up in the driveway of our home. She cut off the engine and we got out. "Now let me talk about your date" I told her before we entered the living room. We both sat on the couch of the empty living room. "We are home!" I shouted, slowly my mom, Aunt Bella, Aunt Alice, My grandmother Esme although it seemed odd calling her grandmother when she looked like a model and Uncle Edward descended the stairs.
"I will get you something to eat" Esme said, "Uncle Edward, I wanted to ask you something" I said getting up from the couch and walking towards him, "Sure" he said with a smile, I was thinking of random stuff like babies, unicorns and rainbows because Renesmee said that uncle Edward was like a mentalist. "I and Renesmee want to go out for a movie before I leave for Denali" I said in a soft voice, "What's there to ask about? You both can go" he said, "With Jacob" I announced immediately after he let out the last word of his sentence, and he groaned not trying to mask it in anyway.
"Eleanor" Mom said, "Please mom, please" I begged. "We'll stay together" Renesmee begged joining me. "Okay, but be back before 9" Mom said, "8:30" Uncle Edward injected, "Edward" Aunt Bella stopped him, "Fine, 9pm sharp" Uncle Edward said in a very low voice. "Thank you!" I and Renesmee said in unison. We both rushed upstairs giggling all the way till we reached my room and the door was shut. "You are coming on my date?" Renesmee asked raising her eyebrows. "I want to see yours and Jacob's first kiss" I teased and she turned all red. "We are not going to kiss" she defended. "Oh you are going to kiss" I announced followed with a kissing sound, "Stop" she said giggling and blushing. "But I will get bored" I said shrugging. "I will call Seth for you" she said winking at me. "Oh please, I had a crush on him when I was a kid" I said rolling my eyes. "And what are you now?" she asked smiling, "sixteen" I replied sticking my tongue out.
"What did you like in Seth?" she asked as we settled on the bed. "I don't know"I said lying down. "Why don't you like him now?" she asked, "It's not like I don't like him, he's cool" I said shrugging my shoulders. "But you don't have a crush on him now, why?" She asked, "I like bad guys now" I said in a joking way, "I can be a bad guy" said a voice and I turned to see Seth standing near the door. "Creepy" I said under my breath, "heard that" he said and I giggled. "You all are going out without me?" he asked taking his seat between me and Renesmee. "Jake and Ness are going to kiss" I said with a grin, "Who told you that?" he said his mouth hanging wide open, "that's just a guess" I said sitting up straight. "Wanna bet?" he asked, "sure" I said. "Jake will not kiss Ness" Seth said, "Oh he will" I replied, "20 dollars?" he said, "done" I replied thinking for a while.
"You both are crazy" Renesmee said looking away trying to hide her blush again. "Can I come with you all?" Seth asked, "Sure" Renesmee replied, "by the way, who will tell Jake about the movie plan?" I asked, "Will do" Seth said before running out of the room, "now let's get dressed" I said pulling Renesmee up from the bed. "I will bring my clothes" she said dragging herself out of the room as Esme entered. She put a plate on my study table, "I made you some pasta, your favourite" she said with a smile. "Thank you" I replied with an identical smile and she walked out. I sat down on my study table and looked at the pasta, it looked delicious. Esme was an amazing cook. I stuffed a fork full of pasta in my mouth and chewed it slowly while playing with the rest of the food. I kept repeating the process until the pasta was finished and then I drank a glass of water and began to get up when the door of my room opened. "Okay I have got some dresses you tell me what to wear" Renesmee said shutting the door with her foot as her hands had a whole lot of dresses, shoes and bags. "Let me see" I said helping her but her stuff on bed.
Finally after a lot of hard work of an hour we were able to get Renesmee ready for her first date! She wanted to wear something simple nothing too tacky – something that would say 'you are special I dressed up for you' but not 'I am creepily obsessed with you'. She wore a light blue pencil jean, white v neck top with laced cut sleeves and black ballet flat shoes. Her beautiful curls were tied in a half ponytail with no makeup required because she was beyond beautiful like that. She then decided to dress me up, which in my opinion was not necessary.
I wore a black sweetheart top with quarter sleeves which was figure hugging unlike Renesmee's shirt, with a dark blue pencil jeans and sneakers. I wasn't big on heels. As there was no more time left I just brushed my hair straight and put on a gloss and mascara and we both grabbed our phones and rushed out. Our mothers kissed us goodbyes and our fathers told us to stick together and take care of each other and we drove off to the movie hall. Jake and Seth were waiting for us outside the movie hall with tickets in their hands. "Hey" Seth said with a grin "Hey" I and Renesmee said in unison. "You look beautiful" Jacob told Renesmee and I could tell he was drooling over her. "You are going to lose the bet" I whispered to Seth. "Maybe" he whispered back. "We'll get some popcorn" I said pulling away Seth with me but Renesmee and Jacob were lost into their own world. "Can I take my money back from the bet?" Seth asked jokingly "No" I told him with a smile.
"She does look beautiful" Seth commented, "I dressed her up" I said with pride. "You look beautiful yourself" Seth told me, "Thank you" I replied politely. That's when I noticed he was wearing a black too, a black hood. The hood might make other's look lean and thin but Seth looks just as muscular as he looked shirtless. Did I just think that?! Yeah I have seen him shirtless and none of the Jacob's group seems to mind that because most of the time they are shirtless. I constantly teased Renesmee after the day she hugged shirtless Jacob. Uncle Edward wasn't happy about it at all but everyone else had a good laugh.
When we got to the hall with popcorn we saw Renesmee and Jacob sitting like a couple holding hands. "Kiss.. Kiss.. Kiss" I whispered to myself. Seth erupted into a fit of laughter, "You are so crazy" he said from between his laughter, I just laughed with him. The whole movie I kept looking at Renesmee and Jacob who never took their eyes off each other and Seth kept giggling like a small girl. I bet none of us even had the idea about the name of the movie but we had a real good time. Like I predicted Jacob kissed Renesmee goodbye outside the movie hall and I literally danced when I got my 20 dollars. Renesmee blushed all the way to the car and I kept asking her about her first kiss and she just couldn't let the words get out of her mouth. I was so happy for Renesmee!
But our day turned gloomy when Renesmee received a worried call from her dad just a few minutes away from home as to where we were exactly? Apparently the bad guys were about to reach the same time when we were going to reach. The Denalis were nowhere near the place and obviously I couldn't stay out this late alone so the plan was to get me in the house as soon as possible and hide me. When I asked Renesmee why I couldn't just come in front of them she replied "It's complicated". When we were about to get in the house, another call was received but now it was of no use. Carlisle opened the door for us and said "They are here" "Okay, don't let go of my hand" Renesmee said holding my and taking me in the living room where there stood three guys in black cloaks of different shades. A very tall guy whose built was identical to my dad's a shorter guy with curly hair who looked like a gentleman and then the shortest guy of them all in the darkest cloak of them all.
"Hello" the curly haired gentleman greeted us "Hello Demetri" Renesmee replied, "Felix" She said nodding towards the tallest guy and then to the shortest one and addressed him as "Alec" "Who is this?" Alec asked, "Hello to you too" I replied in a mumble. "She is with us" Carlisle said. Mom came near me acting as a shield between me and those three guys. "We are not going to hurt her" Felix replied. Hurt me? What did they have pistols. "Hurt me… have you seen my dad" I said under my breath but of course everyone heard that. My family smiled and Dad grinned while the strangers tensed. "Sharp tongue" Alec commented looking at me in an intimidating way, "I don't know for how long" he continued. Mother hissed at him, "Cut it Blondie" he replied, really?! "What's your name?" Felix asked, "Eleanor" I replied making my name clear. "Who gave you that name?" Alec asked as if making fun of my name. At least I had a better name than his – Alec. I let go of Renesmee's hand and walked towards the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of red wine and poured out three glasses of it and took them in a tray to the living room walking with my head high up in the air. "Now where are my manners" I said walking towards them. "Eleanor" Mom said in a low but ordering voice but I assured her with a smile. Demetri was the first to take the glass followed by Felix, I took the third glass and poured it all over the big headed Alec and smiled at him, "Enjoy your drink" I said before rolling my eyes at him, keeping the tray on the coffee table and walking upstairs. I could hear giggles of Renesmee and I could feel Alec's eyes trying to dig into my back like sharp knives but I walked away coolly. Although I felt bad that Carlisle would have to apologize for me, but Alec totally asked for it and hey, I am a giver! I smirked.
