3. EXPLANATIONS


I head near the river in the Westside. It was dark now but I know the sun is just setting up at the foggy dark clouds. Everytime I always think about that dark man I would stop at my tracks and shudder, it will take a moment before I could recover and continued to walk. I didn't remember much where the direction is but I can remember where I had buried the deer. The red flower will be my guide. I walked to the dark trees, hearing the owl and it just adds a little of nervousness inside me. For a few minutes I can see the red flower covered in snow ten metres away. I smiled a little but frowned when I remembered why I was here. A shudder passed through me again and I groaned. I continued to walk until I saw the frozen river, I smelled the atmosphere and my eyes widened when the scent was just behind my back. I whirled fast and yelped when the man was there.

"Are you alright?"He asked, concern in his voice. What does he think? It's freaking dark here and I could only see the moon and then he was just behind my back all the time and he won't think I'm alright?!

I took a deep breath as I close my eyes. "What you think? You could've given me a heart attack!" The man chuckled as he shook his head. I grimaced because it was not really funny.

"Forgive me, Renesmee. I have forgotten that I am meeting with a half-vampire, half-human." The man said. I gaped at him when he said my name. First, he knew mom's name and then he also knew mine.

I rolled my eyes. "You better start explaining." I said. "But wait, first---how do you know my mother's name and my name?" I demanded, crossing my arms. I shouldn't be act brave or act like he's just a human because he's a freaking vampire for goodness sake! He can easily threat me!

The man sighed. "How about we introduce ourselves in the orderly manner?" He suggested. I nodded and he continued. "My name is Laurent, I'm from the Denali Coven." Then I saw his eyes. They were a dark gold. Thank God he's a "vegetarian" vampire!

He waited for me to speak. "My-My name is Renesmee Masen, I'm from, well, the always-moving-coven." I giggled a little. Me and my mom don't have a coven name so I just made up my own.

The man---Laurent---nodded. I'm glad that I have patience because this man is just too slow! "The reason why I know your mother is because I was the one who changed her." I sucked a breath, absorbing the information. Laurent looked at my face. "Any questions?"He asked.

I blinked. "Oh... umm... how... I'm glad that you didn't eat her." The words escaped from my lips before I could ask permission for it in my thoughts. That wasn't I was about to say, oh man! I'm screwed!

I thought Laurent was going to glare at me but he didn't, he just laughed. "I was about to but then the wo---" He stopped, nervous. Then I saw him looked over my shoulder and around the forest.

"Why the reaction?" I demanded.

Laurent gulped. "It's not my story to share, anyway. It's a secret that I can't tell anyone."

"Why can't you tell anyone?" I asked. He grimaced.

"Because it's a secret." Laurent replied. I scowled at him, feeling so stupid that I didn't know that.

So I tried for another question."Okay---what do you mean by 'I was about to' when I said that I'm glad you didn't eat my mom?"

He pursed his lips before answering. "You won't get sad, or scared, okay?" I nodded. "You see, when I first met your mom---when she was human---at some clearing with seven vampires protecting her. One of my acquaintances was a tracker and he wanted your mother. Of course, you're father protected her and that made the tracker angry. Well, your father destroyed the tracker but then the tracker's mate named Victoria wanted to have revenge. She told me about her plan about killing your mother since... well, when you're father left her. Then I met her at a bad time---I was hunting. I was about to attack her when I heard two heartbeats and that made me confuse but there's another reason why I didn't kill her. A reason that I promised your mother that I won't tell anyone. Actually there are two reasons." I couldn't breathe for a moment because... did I just heard a story about my father? Well, technically not all centered around him. It's just... I don't really know my father and his details of history with my mother. All I know is that mom fell in love with a vampire, got her pregnant, broke her heart and left. Then that's it.

"I should have summarized it." Laurent muttered. My head snapped and glared at him.

"It's good that you didn't because I want to know everything about my Father because mom won't even start or even talk about a topic centering dad." I yelled. Easy now, Renesmee. You're face to face with a vampire stranger here. Don't be rude to him!

Laurent's eyes were wide and he panicked. I looked at him, confused. "You're mom didn't tell anything to you about your dad?"He basically demanded. I raised an eyebrow but nodded.

Laurent groaned. "This is wrong, Renesmee. I just broke a promise. I shouldn't be telling you things about your father. When they found out, they're going to---" He paced back and forth, panicking.

"Laurent, stop it. I don't care if you broke a promise that you swore to my mother. She didn't tell me anything about him. And I wanted to know." I said in a hard voice.

"You don't but I do." He snapped, stopping at his tracks. "And there's a reason why I kept that promise, Renesmee." He added, frowning. "Because they're going to destroy me."

"Who?" I whispered anxiously.

"I can't tell you." He said. "You're human. It's too dangerous. Just like your mom. When she was human she was always in danger. I wouldn't be surprise if she is still."

Then I remembered last night when mom told me at my room.

Mom shook her head and she looked unhappy. "I don't want you to be copying me Renesmee if that's what you're doing."

I almost snorted. "No Mom. Why?"I asked her.

She deliberated. "Nothing."

I rolled my eyes. "C'mon Mom. There must be a purpose why you said that."I insisted.

"Okay. I just don't want you to be like me. I make mistakes, sweetie."

"I make mistakes too."I argued. "And nobody's perfect."I added. Where are we getting anyway?

Mom narrowed her eyes. Before she could say anything I demanded, "What is your point anyway, Momma?"My voice soft so that it won't look that I'm angry or annoyed.

She sighed again. "I just want you to be careful, Renesmee. Please grasp that." She begged.

Even Laurent know that?! Is everyone gone psychic now?

"Can you just tell me who my father is?" I whispered, pleading.

Laurent frowned at me. "No, I cannot."

I had forgotten the time. I looked at my wristwatch and thankfully there was the moon so I can see it. It was almost eight. Why did time flies so fast? Mom would be wondering where am I now. I didn't even finish the list of questions in my head that I got to ask Laurent!

I sighed. "Sorry. Laurent but I gotta go. Mom would be wondering where I am." I said quickly. Laurent nodded, there was still panic in his eyes. "Oh and thank you for explaining it to me. I hope we could see eachother again." I said kindly.

Laurent pursed his lips. "Maybe very, very soon. I'm going away from my coven for a while after my head is cleared up about our conversations tonight."

"The mind reader?" I guessed.

Laurent nodded hesitantly. "He's not part of our coven because he belongs to another. My coven and his coven our very close and they're staying also here."

I nodded and waved at Laurent for goodbye.

When I was a extremely happy about what had just happened. I'm not nervous anymore because I know now. But suddenly became more nervous because I'm meeting my mom now and I smelled like I've just been with a vampire. Crap! What would I tell her? What would I tell her? Oh my God. This couldn't be happening!

I fidgeted a little when I went for the front door. Of course, Mom was there. She was sitting at the sofa with Wuthering Heights in her hands. She looked up at me and smiled.

"How was the walk? It was pretty long."She mused.

"Uhh... yeah. I wanted to be energetic first thing in the morning." I stated cheerfully as I could manage. Mom stood up from the sofa, leaving the book at the couch and walked up at me. There would be no doubt that she could smell me now. And... why didn't she smelled a vampire scent yesterday? It must've been washed thoroughly because of the shower. Okay now that's just plain stupid. It must be the animal blood or something. Or Laurent was just with me not long like five minutes...?

Mom walked up to me and hugged me. Then I just heard her sniff. Damn! She pulled away from me, keeping her hands on my shoulder's and holding me in arm's length. Her nose was flared and her eyes were closed. Then her eyes snapped I flinch.

"What's wrong Mom?" I asked innocently. I hope that I don't look like I'm acting.

"You have a vampire scent all over your body."She growled and that made me shake a little.

"What do you mean?" I demanded.

"Renesmee. Did you just walk or met someone on the way?" I tried my best to look confuse and won.

"No, mom. Why would you think that?"

"Because you have vampire scent all over your body!" She repeated but yelled this time.

"Calm down, Mom. I didsmell a vampire scent but there was no vampire there. The scent was on the snow and then I trip and landed at the area where the scent is so the scent might've spread all over me." I lied cooly. The words just escaped from my mouth suddenly and I felt proud of it when it turned out right. But she didn't look convince so I pressed my hand to her face. I tried to imagine that I was walking at the snow when I tripped at some rock and fell flat against the snow. After I showed her, I pulled away, waiting for her reaction.

Mom looked at me, narrowing her golden eyes. "No going to the woods again and from now on, you're hunting with me."

I nodded. No more freedom. Then I involuntarily yawn.

"Go to sleep now Renesmee. We'll discuss this tomorrow. You must've been tired from the walk." Mom murmured as she stroke my auburn hair.

I nodded again and kissed her cheek. This is going to be a long night.


I woke up and looked around and saw trees but not the ceiling of my room. I blinked and felt something mushy and hard behind my back. I gasped when I was lying at the green grass covered with dirt. I jumped and quickly brush off the mud behind my back. After brushing it all away I looked around and noticed that I'm in a forest. It was scary but beautiful. Beautiful than the woods in Alaska. But... where am I anyway?

"Mom?" I called. No answer, so I tried again. "Mom? Where are you?" My voice echoing through the trees. There was still no answer and I can't just stand here and not look for her. I have to find my mother. When I took a five steps forward that's when I heard this conversations.

"Bella, we're leaving." I heard a man's voice. It was velvety and soft and so beautiful. Where did that come from?

"Why now? Another year---" A females voice asked but was suddenly interrupted by the man.

"Bella, it's time. How much longer could we stay in Forks, after all? Carlisle can barely pass for thirty, and he's claiming thirty-three now. We'd have to start over soon regardless."

"When you say we---"

"I mean my family and myself." The man separated each word. I tried to find for the voices but I couldn't move. It's like someone had glued me. Then the conversation started again, I was busy trying to un-glue myself from this stupid area. That's when the words of familiarization hit me.

"I'm no good for you, Bella." The man said.

"Don't be ridiculous." The girl pleaded. "You're the very best part of my life."

"My world is not for you."

Then suddenly I started to walk again. Thank you! I started to walk and listen for the voices so that I could go to them. The girl started yelling and things like that and I could hear the pain in her voice. There was a brief pause when they started to talk again. I could guess that the man was breaking up with the girl. How dare he! I could hear the voices getting louder so I know that I'm getting closer. Then I peeked behind the tree and saw them.

Of course, it was blurry. I couldn't see their faces. And that made my dream one hundred percent that I'm really dreaming.

"You... don't... want me?" The girl asked.

"No."

Then realization hit me when I figured out that it was my mother and father. That's why the conversation was very familiar. I heard them when I was still on mom's stomach. I could hear things now in only a day. Weird again. I tried to stop the man from leaving her and when I jumped out of the tree he was gone. Leaving the girl stunned and hurt seeing him go.


I woke up from the weird dream. It was so strong and so familiar. Why would I be having dreams like the other dream I have last night? And my theory is that I started to have familiar dreams when I met Laurent and moved here at Alaska. But how could I hear them when I was only a day old inside mom's stomach. That conversation was not stronger than the other dream. It must've been because my senses were not that strong when I was a one day old fetus. That's just a theory, okay?

I was sweating hard and there was the sun. Shining brightly. Hmm. The weather must have changed for now.


I was very early because I want to be away from those skinny groupies for a while before they could fine me and drag me to boredom. The kids were smiling and all of them are having laughs at the parking lot. Some are sitting on their car's hoods enjoying the sun. I enjoyed the sun too. Yesterday, I found out who owns the silver Volvo and was not surprise it's from the Cullens. I think they're rich kids because of the looks and the clothes and even the things they own.

They are always early but I couldn't see the Volvo yet. They must be late. When I saw Amanda's car going inside the parking lot I ran inside the school and went quickly to English class. And when the first bell rang, students were filling up the class but there's no sign of Alice Cullen, anywhere. Then when the final bella rang, she was still not there. I was curious about Alice. Where did she go? Did she get sick or something? Well, we will find out in lunch.

The lunch crowd was going crazy today because the cafeteria is selling french fries and pizzas. I just go for a normal lunch and settle on to seat with---this is hell---Kathleen and her friends. They were chattering loudly and laughing at things that are not funny. I looked at the table where the Cullens are sitting but they were not there.

"Where are the Cullens?"I suddenly asked. I didn't notice that it was too loud.

"Whenever the sun is here the Cullens disappear." Kathleen answered.

"Why?" I asked.

Kathleen shrugged but Amanda answered for me this time. "'Dunno. I heard that they went camping with their relatives whenever the weather is nice."

"Oh, yeah!" Venice said. "Tanya's family. You know we met her a few days ago and she was extremely beautiful."

"Oh and for I know she is dating Edward Cullen." Vivien said, smirking at Amanda who was glaring at her.

"How do you even know?" Amanda demanded.

"Because we saw them at the mall a week ago. Tanya was holding Edward's arms while they walk. They do look awesome together." Venice replied.

"For me, I think Edward Cullen is better without a woman." Kathleen said, rolling her eyes.

"Oh, c'mon, Kat. You're just jealous because he wouldn't notice you." Amanda fired off. I just looked at them back and forth while they fight. Typical stupids! I tried not to groan or cover my ears because that will be totally rude and... I wanted to so rude to them!

"I think Edward Cullen is better with the woman he loves." I heard Vivien murmured. I'm sure she was not saying it out loud but I heard it. I looked at her a little smug. Vivien's right.

"Yeah. I think so too." I whispered to Vivien. Vivien looked up at me with curious eyes before smiling. She was not so bad after all.


(Guess who's Point Of View is this!)

I stared at the swaying trees through the balcony inside our room. There were two squirrels sitting at the branch near the balcony and was eating their nuts. I sighed. I'm so jealous of this two squirrels---they could go out into the sun. I stood up and went to my closet. I stared at the beautiful, designers clothes. Well... I designed it myself. I pursed my lips and looked for a dress that I need to share Rosalie with. I would really rather go to the sun instead of trap here at this mansion. I have some good reasons why I wanted to go to school now. First, I don't want to miss anything; Second, I wanted to see Renesmee Masen again; and third, I wanted to see Edward and Renesmee when they talk to each other. It's like when they talk to each other they already knew each other. But I know that my stupid brother will never talk to her again since the first day. Since the first day with Bella too. Only he talked to her a week after that.

Anyway, Renesmee Masen was beyond mysterious. She doesn't smell human or even a vampire. And the most strangest is, that I couldn't see anyone's future when they're near her. For example, when Edward was next to Renesmee at Biology, his future, too, disappears. AndI could still remember Jasper calling her Bella but controlled it and said Renesmee. Of course, Jasper would've notice that too. Renesmee's eyes were the same as Bella's. Those odd, beautiful brown orbs. And her name is Masen, and that was Edward's former surname. What is Renesmee? Then when I opened the switch to the whole big closet, images of something flickered through my mind.

It was Laurent talking to Tanya, and he was in a very hurry.

"Tanya," I saw Laurent said. "I need to be going for a few months. It's important."

"Of course, Laurent. But what about Irina? Should you be telling her that you're away for months instead of me?" Tanya asked, suspicious.

Laurent paused before continuing. "Where is Irina?"

Tanya smiled. "She's at the Cullens with Kate."

Laurent's eyes were wide. "Uhh... Tanya. I think you should just tell Irina that I'm leaving---"

Tanya narrowed her golden eyes at him. "Why, Laurent? Is there something that you're keeping?"

Laurent tensed and I could see his hands shake just a little. He noticed it and shoved his hands in his pockets. "No, Tanya. I'm not keeping anything. I'm visiting an old friend of mine..." I could see that Laurent was really lying. His voice broke. Where was he going, anyway?

Then when I was about to dig in some of their future it turned nothing. Again. Why is this happening? And is he really lying about seeing an old family friend? What does that mean? So... this means he's meeting up with someone. And the way he reacts when he found out that his mate was staying with us Cullens. He is really hiding something.

I need to find out.


Guess who was it? It's Alice! Please review guys! It makes me happy.
