A Hunter's Claim: Born to Run

"I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun / Wait by the door and light a cigarette / If he wants a fight well now he's got one / And he ain't seen me crazy yet / … / … / I'm going to show him what a little girl's made of / Gunpowder and lead / … / His fist is big but my gun's bigger / He'll find out when I pull the trigger!"

~Miranda Lambert:: Gunpowder and Lead

Renesmee's POV

I pulled out of the parking garage as fast as I could, thanking whatever God there was that I couldn't, like stumble, or do something human. As a part vampire, I was blest- or curst, depending on my mood- with subdued vampire traits.

I was congratulating myself on escaping my home, all dressed up in my little outfit. It was the master plan. And the best part? No one would ever know. I was too fast for the cameras to get a clear picture of my face, too skilled to leave any possible DNA behind. The only evidence was sitting in the passenger seat with me. A very battered and chipped Louisville Slugger. In my dashboard, a pair of latex gloves.

"I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl, 'cause the next time that he cheats... Oh, you know it won't be on me!" I couldn't help the victory song that burst out from my lips as I zoomed out of the garage. Although I definitely gloated, I couldn't help the twinge of shock that I had from seeing the sun shining, clear and bright, when I had just committed a pretty serious act of vandalism. As I pulled up for a red light a couple blocks away from the garage, I rummaged through my dashboard for a pair of Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses when a couple guys on the street were examining my car- and me- a little too closely for my comfort.

The car wasn't anything special by the Cullen standards- a black Cadillac. With a kickass radio. I rolled my windows down, and turned on the radio, fiddling with it slightly. Rise Against had a new hit single, apparently.

Out of habit, I took a scattered way home, turning here and there, until I was convinced that any human tracking me would've surely gotten lost. After all, the Cullen's had supposedly moved to Maryland. It would not do to have a car to be pulling up to their driveway.

As soon as I got off the main roads, I stomped on the pedal. I guess the speed addiction is a vampire thing. My need for speed is because I like feeling in control. I don't get to do that as the baby of the family. I slowed down to 50 as I neared our house. If I didn't, all the… "werewolves" would think something was up. And then stupid Jacob would get involved.

I love Jacob. He's a piece of me. Makes me complete. But he's not my mate. I can't see him by my side for the rest of my existence. I just can't. As an older brother maybe. I don't even know anymore. I had only found out about the true nature of the imprinting last year. All I had known prior to that was that "Jacob [loved] [me] very much." I discovered how an imprintee plays the domestic housewife. How her imprinter controls every aspect of her, even when she can see her parents. My own mother found it romantic. I find it disgusting. Sometimes, I even dreamed of asking my father to turn me into a full vampire just to stop it. But I know he won't. He's too kind to cause Jacob so much pain, even at the sacrifice of his daughter. He always winces and withdraws to himself for hours when I think that.

I was so lost in my musing that it wasn't until I was parked in the garage that I smelled the unfamiliar scents. Cinnamon, cherry blossom, fennel, spearmint and new parchment. And then, almost overpowering it- wet dog. Oh, damn you Jacob, I thought to myself.

I looked at the bat next to me, wondering why. Then, I remembered that the Volturi were supposed to be coming. Shit! I could hear my father growl, and the slightly carrying sound of raised voices. Quickly, I grabbed the bat and stuck it in the trunk. I'd tell Uncle Em about it later.

It wasn't until I crossed the threshold of the door that I realized that-unfortunately- a fight wasn't going to break out. I planned on slinking up to my room, but curiosity got the better of me.

I stuck my head inside the sitting room.

"You're my wife." Jasper had said to Alice. No shit, Uncle Jazz. "What the hell is going on here?" I asked, directing my question to the surprisingly large group of Volturi guards. Three guys, two girls. Their names came zipping back to me as soon as I saw their faces without my glasses. Jane, Heidi, Alec, Felix and Demetri. Holy crap.

Italy makes their boys good.

My father let out a vicious sounding growl/snarl. I smiled serenely, added a comment to the conversation, and sat down next to Aunt Alice. Opposite side of the room from Jacob. Win. Now I was free to check out Italian guys and their hotness. Hmm… Uncle Jasper let out an awkward cough, and I couldn't resist the laughter that bubbled out.

I doubled over, clutching my sides. "I - am - so - sorry!" I wheezed, wiping my eyes. When I sat up, the Volturi had their eyes on me. "Umm… hey?" I waved, trying to defuse the tension. "You're crying…" Demetri murmured, making a strange movement. His hands, which had been folded so meticulously in his lap had been about to reach out, to touch the teardrop at the corner of my eye. He apparently thought better of it and simply unfolded his hands. And here we go again.

Those are some seriously long fingers…

And cue the strangled sound from my father. Daintily, I wiped my eyes with my ring finger and folded my own hands while crossing my feet. Several eyes flickered to my legs. I resisted the urge to smirk. Hey, I was a flighty bitch and I knew it.

"Where were you, Nessie?" My mother asked, innocently. I had a flashback to my rendezvous with my now ex-boyfriend's car.

"Oh, just driving through town." My father exhaled loudly at my blatant lie, while my mother looked slightly hurt. I pretended to bite down on a smirk and listened to Carlisle as he explained.

The guard was going to be with us for an unknown period of time, on Aro's orders. They were going to investigate me. They would hunt in Canada. Fantastic.

When he was done explaining, an awkward silence fell. My father, my uncles and Jacob were glaring at the guards, while my mother- the weak fool she was- stared at the ground. But you didn't hear the weak fool bit from me.

I stared at the guards with open curiosity, memorizing their features. Demetri was the most attractive, although Alec was a close second. Felix was kinda hot, but I had never been into the bulky, muscled guys- no thanks to you, Jacob. Oh, how I loved making my dad and Uncle Jasper fidget. It was fun, although by the looks of the Volturi homeboys, something, might be just a bit more fun… if you get my drift. Perhaps it was this thought, so naughty, so hormone-riddled and so much like a 16 year old that prompted my father into speech.

"Ground Rules." He bit out, as the Volturi raised their left eyebrows as one. "All doors open. One mile radius from all of us." Jacob, being the complete idiot that he is, interrupted. "You forgot about seduction." And my father- my father- actually agreed with him.

"No seduction." Jane snorted as I blushed furiously. How embarrassing!

"Isn't this cute? Everyone cares about you, baby Cullen." She sneered. My family was about to retaliate, but this was my fight. Finally, my father sighed.

"At least I'm not going to spend the rest of my existence looking like a six year old, Janey." I snapped back, tossing my hair, uncrossing my legs and smirking to prove my point. Heidi snickered, as Felix and Alec watched me with wide eyes.

"How dare you!" Jane snarled, already doing her legendary glare, but my mother already had her shield up.

"What, Janey? Going to use your torture powers on me? Gonna rip my head off? Why are you so incapable of engaging in a verbal duel? Get over yourself. You are so not the shit you think you are."

And with that, I exited to room in a typical, dramatic vampire fashion. It was Volturi worthy, especially when you added in my parting comment.

I was about to cross the threshold when I paused and tossed some words back to my family.

"Oh, and dad? Jacob? Seduction is a two-way street."

A/N: Ugh, I am never doing first person again. Maybe. Now, I know some people will go all "Where's the Reneslec?" I'll tell you right now. In most of the Reneslec fics that I've read, the two fall in love right away. That really irritates me because I don't believe in "love at first sight." Probably why I hated Twilight, too, now that I think about it. I think that this way, it's a lot more natural. Renesme (16ish, although she's really 7) doesn't notice Alec right away- she's distracted by Demetri and his hotness. Alec sees her as surprisingly grown up and kind of sexy. (He and Jane are frozen at 15/16ish. So, umm, hormones anyone?) Edward- and possibly Jasper- know about their daughter/niece's lust for Demetri. Alec, like Heidi, is just sort of there at the moment, and I didn't know how to do Felix. So, I'll just tell you. Felix is like your pervy friend who isn't attracted to you emotionally, but rather physically. He'll be buddies with baby Cullen, except, from time to time, he'll notice how pretty she is. I'm sorry, but I feel it's more realistic this way. I promise, there'll be some Alec in here soon. Just not in the second chapter.

Now, I'd just like to thank all my reviewers and favoriters. And respond to a few comments.

Thank you for all those that told me this was funny- I try my hardest. My humor is funnier in person. Believe me. CARRIE UNDERWOOD ALL THE WAY! SHE'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN TAYLOR SWIFT. And I-Hate-Reality's-Concept: Your writing isn't crap. I've read it, and it's a hell lot better than mine. And yes, Potterhead is one of the various terms we use to describe ourselves.

Now, I'm very well aware that I got a very unsatisfactory review from someone. And I absolutely hate authors who call the bad reviews out, however, I just felt that I couldn't ignore this. But I'm not gonna use any names. I've got that much respect for difference of opinion.

First of all, I'd like to thank you for not being a coward and actually logging in to… 'flame.' (For lack of a better term.) I do appreciate it. Now, on to my comebacks. You claim to be someone who 'doesn't have a problem with speaking [their] mind.' Am I not allowed to do the same? Am I not protected by the First Amendment to disagree with people and to do so openly via freedom of speech? Then again, why are you so angry with me for disagreeing with your opinion of Jacob when this is clearly a Reneslec fan fiction? You should know that Jacob will almost always be hated in Reneslec. And I warned you that this was not pro-Jacob material. Or did you simply look at my summary and hit the review button without reading anything? Because, forgive me if I'm wrong, but it sure as hell looks like that to me. Also, Reneslec is clearly AU. IT NEVER REALLY HAPPENED. So, does the number of lines that the characters say in SM's wacked up world really matter? You tell me to "shut [my] ass up." Do tell me how to do so since you appear to be speaking from yours. I have no issues with difference of opinion, however, I do have an issue with disrespect. I have done absolutely nothing to you, so therefore, your treatment of my is completely unacceptable. I could also go into detail of why I don't like Jacob, but I don't want my A/N to be longer than my fic. You could PM me and we could discuss Jacob like civilized human beings. I'm totally fine with that. But if you don't like Jacob-bashing, then don't read stories where he will obviously be bashed, or write your own massive pro-Jacob fic. If you wrote anything to begin with. It's evident you haven't because you don't even know your character positions. Jacob Black is not a main character in Twilight. Bella Swan is. Jacob is a major character, yes. But not main. The series doesn't revolve around his except for one part in BD and the whole love triangle thing he has. Alec isn't in Twilight all that much. No shit, Sherlock. That's why this is AU. And please, do elaborate on what you mean by "ALEC WACK ASS." You haven't made your point. Seriously. Also, grammar and punctuation help. And thank you for promising me to wait for my answer- it's nice to know that I have one reader out there. [PS: I love your profile pic! No joke, all seriousness.]

Anyway, read and review all! But please know that I have no problem with people who disagree with me or flame. Just be slightly polite about it and give me your reasoning. I don't bite!
