Chapter 2 ~ Saying Goodbye to Home
Renesmee – 14 years old
After Alice's vision, my mom and dad stayed at the Cullen house longer than usual. Emmett, Rosalie, Esme, Carlisle, Alice, Jasper, mom, and dad talked for hours, devising a plan. We were going to leave as soon as the sun started to rise.
I was scared, knowing someone was going to try and kill me. Who wouldn't be? I was more than scared, I was terrified. I sat down on the couch and started to cry. Besides Jacob, I was the only one who actually could cry. Jacob sat on the couch next to me and pressed his lips to mine lightly. "It's going to be okay, Nessie," he said, trying and failing to sound reassuring. I looked up at him watery eyed and a tear fell down my face. He wiped it away.
"Renesmee Cullen. If you think I would ever let anyone who wanted to hurt you even put a foot in your direction, you're insane!" he said. This just made it worse.
"Oh, so I'm just supposed to sit here and watch you die to protect me?" I cried.
"Who said I'm going to die? I appreciate how much faith you have in me," he said, attempting a smile.
"Well, I don't care. I'm fighting. I'm going to go alone, no one is going to risk their life for me," I said.
"Oh Nessie, shut up," said Emmett rolling his eyes. "You're starting to sound like your mom. The pup's right for once. None of us are going to let them hurt you," he said. Emmett sounded whole-heartedly confident. He always loved a good fight.
I decided not to bother anymore. I was too tired. I walked home, Jake in his wolf form behind me, to my small cottage in the woods by the Cullen's house. I walked in and laid on my bed, thinking. Jake somehow managed to fit through the door after a few minutes of struggling and came into my room. He let out a whimper and cocked his head to the side. It was his way of saying, "Why are you worried?"
"Why am I worried? Oh, I don't know, the fact that my parents best vampire friends are going to try and kill me and my family wants to risk their lives to save me if we get found." Jake smiled his wolfy smile and snorted. His way of saying, "We can take em' Nes." I didn't argue. I was too tired. I quickly drifted into sleep, but my dreams were disturbed and I only slept lightly, not able to fully drift into unconsciousness. I heard Mom and Dad walk in after a long while. Mom poked her head in. "Jake, you should really head home now. It's late and I'm sure you're exhausted," she said, obviously exasperated. I heard him whine with protest.
"Jake, please. It'll make me feel better. Tomorrow's going to be a long day," she pleaded. I heard Jake get up and walk out. Mom walked out of the room. I heard bits and pieces of their conversation.
"—just have to tell Charlie its temporary—"
"—after we get there we'll disguise her scent—"
"—went over the plans 20 times already—"
I woke up and I felt as though I didn't fall asleep once. I was so tired. Sometimes I wished I didn't need to sleep like my parents. I walked into the living room and my parents had bags packed with necessities. My mom looked up. She looked overwhelmed. Dad was talking to someone on the phone. Alice. "Oh good you're up. Let's go hunting now," she said. Her eyes were every bit as cold as they were last night.
The three of us stalked off into the forest. I closed my eyes and let my senses take over. About a mile away there was a herd of deer. I ran fast, quenching the now burning thirst in my throat the only thought in my head. Then I saw them. I crouched low into my hunting position and lunged at the buck. He didn't realize what was happening before it was too late. His warm blood soothed my throat and I drank until the buck was empty of all blood. When we were all done we ran over to the Cullen house. They were all ready too.
I looked up at Emmett. You could always get a straight answer out of Emmett. "What's the first part of the plan?" I asked. Emmett smiled.
"Well, since your scent is so different from vampires, humans, and werewolves, the Denali's will most likely have remembered it. We're not going to disguise your scent with a vampire's, they know we'll be trying to hide you. We're not going to disguise your scent with a werewolf's either because they know that Jacob will be with you, and Jacob's pack is the only live pack of werewolves that we know of. So, that leaves disguising your scent with a human's."
"And how are you going to do that? Oh hi, I'm a vampire and I was wondering if you could disguise the scent of my half vampire, half human niece with your own," I said.
"Funny, but no. Seth is willing to help. He imprinted on some girl and she said she would disguise your scent," he said.
"That girl is HOT!" Jacob said under his breath. I crossed my arms and looked at him. "Well…not hot as in good-looking…you know, she just…got over a fever?" he said.
"Nice try," I said, smiling.
"Seth should be here with her in 2 minutes," Alice said, searching the future. She was right of course, because two minutes later, I met for the first time Katherine Melissa Geraghty. She was very pretty, Jake was right. She was tall with long, pin-straight, strawberry-blonde hair. She had big blue eyes and a sweet smile. She was also holding a big bag and I wondered briefly what was in it, until she spoke.
"Hi, I'm Katherine, but most people call me Katie," she said. She didn't seem at all afraid that she was standing in a group of vampires. Everyone said hi back and introduced themselves. Afterwards, I walked over to Seth and gave him a hug. Seth and I were always good friends. He was my favorite werewolf besides Jake.
"Okay, so how are we going to do this?" I asked.
"Well, the girls are going to change into a pair of Katie's clothes, and the boys are going to change into a pair of Katie's brother's clothes. He's away at college," my mom answered. We all walked into the house and Katie pulled a pair of clothes for everyone out of her big bag. The pants were a little too short for Edward, Jake, Seth and Jasper, and the shirt was tight against Emmett's big muscles, but it would have to do.
"Well, how do I smell?" I asked.
"Like a human," Jasper said stiffly. Alice gave him a warning look.
"Um, guys? Where are we hiding, though?" I questioned.
"We're going to Florida to meet some other vampires there who can hide us," he said, while Mom sniffed, "You're mom's upset because she can't say hello to her mom and Phil," Dad sighed. "Alright, let's get going then," he added.
Seth, Jake, and Katie got into a faded blue Mustang. Jake hit the gas pedal and we vampires ran as fast as we could. We all speeded off into the direction of the rising sun. I turned back and looked at the Cullen house and said my last goodbyes to the place I may never call home again.
Edward –
As the wind was ripping through my hair and the sun was rising over the trees, I thought. I thought about the last time we saw the Denali's. We invited them over again when Renesmee was five.
—flashback—
It was a rainy day in Forks. Most of the town was sleeping. We heard footsteps from outside and a knock on the door, which we opened to welcome our guests. Tanya and Kate looked stiff. I could hear their thoughts:
Tanya: This won't take long I hope…
Kate: There's the little brat who was the reason for Irina's death.
I painted on a fake smile and said hello. We talked for a little. That's when Renesmee got up and walked over to Tanya. She put her tiny hand on her neck and filled Tanya's head with a memory. I read Tanya's mind to see what memory it was, and was horror-filled to see it was the memory of Irina's death. I then saw Tanya and Kate struggling against the holds of their friends to get to Cauis. They were livid in that memory. By showing Tanya this memory, she was telling her she remembered her.
Tanya, however, became irate by this. The little brat! she thought. That's it! I am DONE with this family! She hated Renesmee before she showed her the memory, but this, in a way, sealed the deal. Tanya and Kate stormed out of the house and out of sight quicker than any human eye could even detect. Alice had expected it of course, but the rest of my shocked family didn't understand, so I had to explain to them what Renesmee had shown her.
—end flashback—
I knew they were terribly mad and we probably wouldn't talk to them for another century, but I never expected this.
