Dreaming Wide Awake
Chapter 3: Getting to know you
Renesmee's P.O.V.
I woke up to the sound of my phone going off. (I love rock n roll) SHIT! IT'S MOM.
I jumped off the bed and ran to my bag. I got out my phone just in time. "Hello?"
"RENESMEE CARLIE CULLEN! I HAVE THE RIGHT MIND TO COME OUT THERE AND BRING YOU HOME!" My mom screamed in to the phone. "NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN EDWARD….JASPER DON'T YOU….." She stopped talking for a minute. "Alright." She sighed, "you can stay but you have to call every day. I don't care who just as long as it's in the family"
I smiled "Yes momma."
"So how's Volterra, what about the people?"
Volterra is the most beautiful place I've ever seen and the people are cool most of all Alec…yeah I'd really tell my mom that.
"It's cool, and the people seem nice so far." I said.
There was a knock at my door. "Hey mom, I'll call you tonight. I love you." I hung up before she could say anything else.
I walked to the door opening it to see Alec standing there. "Hi." he said, and it takes everything in me not to smile.
"What's up?" I ask all cool thank god….wait why do I care. He and his whole family wanted to kill me.
"Aro wants to speak with you." His voice was lifeless.
"Um.. Okay. Let me get dressed and then you can show me where to go."
He nodded. "Alright."
I closed the door and grabbed a red tank top with skinny jeans and black ballet flats. I walked back to the door and opened it to see Alec sitting on the floor across from my door.
He stood up when I walked out. "Ready?"
I nodded, he started walking down the hall and I followed him.
Alec's P.O.V.
I walked at a human pace for the hybrid. I looked over my shoulder. She looked so…beautiful... I still can't believe this is the same kid we tried to kill 16 years ago.
Flashback
I was standing across from the Cullen's. I was holding on to Jane making sure she stayed put... I keep trying to find a weak spot in the shield Bella has up but nothing. I look at the reason we were all here, that little kid and a little girl, she looked harmless. I don't see what the big deal is…Aro was talking with Edward Cullen, little girl in hand, I was too lost in thought to hear or understand anything. Jane was mumbling something.
"What is it sister?" I whispered just low enough so only she would hear.
"Were you not listening!" Jane hissed, I could tell she was angry,
"No I was not, what was said, sister?"
"It's a half breed!"
I looked at her confused "What do you mean?"
If she could turn red she would be right now "It's the Cullen's daughter. Bella had her before she was changed. Aro is going to let it live"
Good!
"Why?"
She looked even angrier than before.
"I don't know" she walked ahead of me. I gave one last look back at the little girl to see her sleeping. I started walking back thinking of the Cullen girl the whole time.
End of flashback
I looked back at Renesmee again…her name is too long. Renesmee Carlie Cullen, she needs a nickname, maybe…May…I like it. We got to the door of Aro's study.
"Here we are." I said as I knocked on the door.
"Come in."
I opened the door with May right behind me. Aro looked up from the book he was holding.
"Renesmee, so good to see you up and awake!"
I leaned back on the wall by the door while May was sitting in a chair across from Aro.
"So Alec said you wanted to talk with me?" May asked shyly. "Yes, it's about your diet, do you eat human food or do you drink blood?" Aro asked
"I eat human food but I drink blood too" Wow.
Aro nodded "Well, are you hungry or thirsty?"
She nodded "Yes sir."
Aro laughed. "Call me Aro sweetheart!"
She smiled "Alright, Aro."
Aro looked back at me. "Alec, why don't you take Renesmee to get something to eat?"
I nodded "Would you like to go into the city, or just find something here?" I asked.
She looked back at me. "Can we go in to the city? I would love to see more than just the little I did the night I came in."
I nodded "That's fine."
She got up and Aro stood behind his desk.
"You two go eat, I will see you later Renesmee."
She nodded. "Alright Aro."
We walked out.
"I need to change into something more human. I'll come get you in 20 minutes" I said looking down at my black dress pants and black button down shirt and cloak "That alright?"
She smiled. "Yeah, that's fine."
We had made it back to her room and as she walked she looked over her shoulder and said, "Just so you know I like what you are wearing." she said as she closed the door.
I left with a smile on my face.
Renesmee's P.O.V.
I can't believe I just said that! I walked to my closet and looked for something nice to where. I pulled out a black dress with a gold sash and got dressed. I was sitting on the end of my bed when I heard a knock on the door, I walked over and opened the door. Alec was dressed in nice jeans and a black pull over shirt and a blue and black jacket. He looked me up and down.
"You look nice." He said with a small smile.
I looked down. "Thanks. And you look good yourself."
He nodded "Thank you." I smiled.
"Ready?" He asked, and I nodded we walked down halls, out of the castle and into the city. We walked though the moon lit city streets.
"It's so amazing!"
Alec smiled. "Yeah, the city is pretty great."
He smiled down at me. We stopped in front of a café.
"This is the best place in all of Volterra. Well that's what all the humans say." He chuckled and opened the door for me.
We found a couple seats outside, it was so nice sitting under the stars. "Here we are." our food was put on the table.
"This is really nice. Thank you for bringing me." I smiled at Alec. "You're welcome."
We ate in silence, not awkward silence, though. It was nice not feeling like I had to keep talking.
Once I was done eating, Alec looked at me from across the table. "I want to show you something, sound good?" I nodded, he stood up and walked over to my side of the table. He put his hand out for me to take, which I did. We walked for a long time. He stopped in front of a beautiful garden, and we started walking through the roses.
"Alec, this is amazing."
He smiled. "I was hoping you would like it. This is my favorite place in all of Volterra."
I could see that what he was saying was true.
I smiled at him, he looked back at me. "It's getting late. We should be getting back, you must be sleepy." Now that he said it, I was.
I nodded and he walked me back to the castle and to my room.
At my door I looked at Alec and said, "Thank you. Tonight was wonderful."
He smiled. "I'm happy you had a good time." He grabbed my hand and kissed it. "Good night, Renesmee." He let go of my hand and walked away, I walked into my room in shock.
I changed into a tank top and a pair of sleep shorts crawled in to bed and fell asleep dreaming of the dark angel.
