"Why the hell are you guys fallowing me?" Renesmee hissed as she walked up to her one room apartment.
"We've never seen an half with such a normal life," said the only boy in the group. He sounded tired after their skirmish with the whatever that thing had been.
"What do you mean?" Renesmee hissed slowly opening her door and turning on them ready to send them away, she paused when she saw them. The little girl was still being carried by the half vampire. Her black hair some how looked messier than before her face was dirty and bruised and tires. The half vampire looked tired too, and well pathetic and young as she probably was. The boy no longer looked as human as he had before his skin was shiny not like he was sweating but like his skin was covered in a thin gloss he was bleeding in several places were spikes were growing from his flesh. His blood smelled completely human though. "What's wrong with you?" She asked trying to stay sharp without sounded disturbed or worried. He looked down at his hands were his flesh was changing from a darkened peach to a more red brown. His face showed a shock.
"I-I," He stammered then looked at his companions. The older girl was looking at him with concern the younger girl was out cold. Then Renesmee realized they were probably the same age. Half vampires aged differently from humans faster this girl was sixteen or seventeen but she was probably close to the younger looking girls age. And right now the half vampires eyes looked it. Scared and nervous and desperate and somehow Renesmee couldn't refuse them. She stepped aside looking around nervously.
"Hurry up and get inside," She growled. They looked at her in surprise then they hustled inside the one room apartment.
The next morning Renesmee woke in her bed. The younger girl who she learned was named Anya was laying next to her curled up in a little ball on the edge of the bed, the other two teens were sleeping on the floor next to the bed. The apartment somehow felt different with the three kids in the room. Her bedroom was in the kitchen and living room. There was an a-joining bathroom and but it was about the size of a shoe box but somehow it felt better crowded in with the two teens and the little girl.
Renesmee sat up looking around the room yawning and stretching. The alarm began blaring telling her that it was time to get up and start the day. The two teens stood up and were back to back before they were fully conscious they were looking around fierce fearful expressions on their faces. Renesmee stood and turned the alarm off. The younger looking girl, whom Renesmee learned was called Anya, sat up in the bed, and smiled sweetly.
"Yay for Renesmee!" She called arms raised in celebration. "Slayer of the alarm clock!"
"The alarm clock?" the boy, who was called James, asked looking tired again. His skin had lost the metallic shine and the spikes had retreated or fallen off as he'd slept. Now he just looked like a haggard high school boy. He looked around tiredly and then lay back down.
"You get some more sleep, James." The half vampire, who was called Kari whispered softly sitting down beside her companion and petting his head. Renesmee watched the scene with a bit of sorrow missing her own mate. While feeling sad for the young half vampire that would someday stop aging while the boy she clearly loved would die leaving her alone. Renesmee watched the scene trying not to cry. The girl suddenly sat up as if she realized where she was. She looked up at Renesmee. "Um would you like breakfast." She asked nervously.
"Um, yeah" she wasn't sure if this girl who was clearly still in the serious growth stage of her life would be old enough to cook. The girl clearly understood the look.
"I learned how to cook as soon as I could hold the utensils," She smiled and stood walking over to the "kitchen" portion of the room a small snack fridge and a hotplate. Soon the room was filled with the smell of eggs cooking. Renesmee had always loved eggs even in the womb she'd loved them. "How do you like your eggs." Kari asked Renesmee.
"I love my eggs," Renesmee said dreamily then blushed and looked away.
"So over easy good?" Kari asked softly. She had an excessively soft voice as if she was afraid to raise her voice it was soft and clear like music on a piano. Renesmee still couldn't put a color to her eyes like they kept changing color except they didn't or they did so very subtly like the shifting of a current, they were bright and dark, liquid and solid all at once. They were the type of eyes you got lost in even if you didn't normal get lost in other peoples eyes or you had a mate. They were just impossible not to look at.
"Yeah, sounds good." Renesmee said gently she'd learned that her loud easily excited voice was too much for this group and she wasn't sure how they'd react to her projecting her mind on them so she tried to keep a gentle tone. With the people around her she hadn't really spoken to many people in this city she tried to avoid it, so this was the first time she'd used her voice in a long time.
"can I have over easy too," James asked in a tired voice. It was gentle and hard at the same time but it had something wrong with it like it was hoarse maybe, like he'd spent a lot of time yelling or he'd been strangled a lot in his life.
"I want scrambled," said the Anya pouting. Her voice was high pitched and sweet like it was drowning in sugar. Seriously it was a little unnerving how sweet she sounded.
