Chapter Three
(Edward's POV)
I followed Reneesme and Jacob into the house and was greeted by Bella the love of my life and mother of my daughter. She smiled brightly as she greeted us in the main entrance hall of the house.
"So how was your first day of school," she asked, looking at Reneesme.
"Oh mom it was great I met a lot of nice people and another vampire, oh and there's this one teacher who was really nice and funny," said Reneesme excitedly and quickly. Her hands were waving in crazy motions as she tried to explain her day to Bella.
"Wait a minute, slow down kiddo I can barely understand you," said Bella, smiling softly and trying not to laugh at our daughter's eagerness. Reneesme took a deep breath then and smiled.
"Sorry mom, I was just really excited was all," she said. Bella smiled and nodded.
"That's alright sweetie why don't we all go in the living room and sit, you can then tell me all about your day. There are some cookies sitting out on a tray in the living room for you and Jake to eat. Esme and I baked them earlier today," said Bella. Reneesme nodded as her and Jake rushed off to the living room, they loved Bella's and Esme's cookies. Bella smiled happily as she walked over and greeted me then, I gave her a small kiss then laced my hand with hers as we walked towards the living room.
"So you and Esme baked cookies today?" I asked. She nodded.
"We figured it would be a good snack for Jacob and Reneesme when they got home from school." She said.
"Oh I see," I said, although maybe not entirely. After all only Jacob and Reneesme only ever ate anything so most of the time Esme and Bella just made enough for two people. We reached the living room then and sat down on the love seat since Jacob and Reneesme occupied the space on the couch while munching down on some chocolate chip cookies.
"So now that you're a little calmer," said Bella looking at Reneesme who was looking back at her. "Why don't you tell me about your day?" Reneesme nodded excitedly then and launched off into her story.
(Reneesme's POV)
I was excited when dad got us home. I couldn't wait to tell my mom all about my day. Now as we sat in the living room, while Jake and I ate moms and grandma Esme's delicious chocolate chip cookies, I told her about all the nice people and the classes I had.
"Oh and then I met this girl named Emerald Masen, well she says she prefers to be called Emery, but anyway she's a vampire can you believe it?" I asked looking over at my parents. Of Course I'd already told my dad about Emery on the way home but my mother was surprised.
"Another Vampire?" she asked. I nodded.
"Yeah Jake and I couldn't believe it either, She said she was a senior at the high school and she was really nice whenever I talked to her," I said. My mom just nodded still a little shocked the way I had been at news of another domestic vampire in the town.
"Does she know that you're a half vampire?" asked my mom. I shook my head; I didn't think Emery had known that. I certainly hadn't told her anyway.
"No, but do you want to know what was weird about her when I met her?" I asked.
"What's that?" said my mom.
"She had the exact same hair color as Daddy." I said, yes I still hadn't really gotten over that fact. I just had thought it was interesting to meet someone who had the same shade as dad's copper hair.
"Really," said my mom glancing over at my father. He shrugged as he looked at her.
"I was surprised to hear it too," he said. My mother frowned lightly then looked at me again and her expression turned back into a soft smile.
"Well she sounds like she might be nice, maybe if we talk about it with everyone else you could invite her over to the house sometime," said my mom. "I'm sure she'd like to know there are other domestics around here, just so she isn't taken by surprise." I nodded my head, that sounded like a cool idea, I had really liked Emery in the few times I had talked to her in the hallway that day I had noticed her personality kind of reminded me of Aunt Alice's a little crossed over with my father's calmer one.
"That'd be great," I said.
"Terrific, we'll talk about it with the others when they get home later," said my mom.
"Cool, hey speaking of everyone where are they all anyway," I asked.
"They went out hunting, the same thing we should be doing right now," said my mom. I nodded and realized then that my parents eyes were dark, the way they always got when they hadn't drank in a while. Unlike me, I could last longer only because I was half human and could eat human food.
"Alright, shall we go now?" I asked. My parents nodded and headed for the back door then to run out into the woods in the back of the house. I turned to look at Jacob who I remembered was still sitting there. "Will you be alright here for a while Jake?" I asked. He smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, I'll be fine as long as I've got these cookies, you go ahead and go do whatever it is a half vampire does on a blood hunt," he said. I smiled and nodded before walking towards the back door and running outside to catch up with my parents.
(Emery's POV)
"Thanks Damien," I said as he pulled up to my house and I got out of his car. He laughed then.
"Anytime Em, hey you coming to hang out with me and the guys later down at the park?" he asked. I shook my head, I really needed to go out hunting tonight, it'd been almost a month since my last feeding.
"Can't, I have a ton of homework to do," I lied, but I had become used to using the lies after all it seemed a whole lot better then saying, I can't cause I have to go slaughter some deer and drink their blood cause I'm a vampire and that's what I do, who'd want to admit that.
"Oh ok, catch you tomorrow then," he said.
"Yeah later Damien," I said turning to go inside as his car sped away from my house. I walked in and dropped my bag on the floor near the door heading straight for the back door leading out to the woods. On the way I passed the hall mirror and took a glance only to see how dark my eyes were getting. I made my way outside then and took off in a dead run my nose picking up on the scent of deer to the north. I set my course for that direction and kept running until I reached a small clearing. Crouching down into a ready position in the grass, I could see a small group of deer huddled together grazing on the grass. I counted steadily to three letting my instincts start to take over then pounced. The deer barely had anytime to react as I grabbed one and wrestled it to the ground; I sank my teeth into its neck and drank the warm rich liquid that was its blood. Behind me I could hear that the other deer had taken off running when I heard a thump like one had fallen followed by two more. I finished feeding and turned around to see what was going on only to be faced with the sight of two vampires, and the girl from school, Reneesme, feeding off some deer. They finished and as if sensing that I was there for the first time their eyes grew large as they examined me. I saw their eyes land to the corner of my mouth where I could feel a small drop of the deer's blood was running down. Their eyes then briefly grazed over the deer I'd taken down. Finally after what seemed like forever, Reneesme stepped forward and gave a small shy smile.
"Hey Emery," she said, "I see your out hunting too." I nodded a little surprised by her casual manner.
"Wait did you know I was a vampire?" I asked. She nodded.
"Well yeah I could tell I mean I am half of one," she said. I nodded.
"That would explain why I got the scent of one from you," I said. She seemed a little surprised by my response. Behind her I could hear someone clear there throat.
"Reneesme, aren't you going to introduce us to your friend," came a woman's voice. Reneesme looked behind her then.
"Sorry mom," she said. 'Mom,' I thought that's when I really paid attention as two people, a man and a woman, stepped forward. Reneesme spoke again then, "Mom this is Emery, the girl from school I was telling you about." The woman who I noticed had the same brown hair as Reneesme stepped forward and smiled.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Bella," she said. "We were surprised when Reneesme told us about another domestic vampire in the area." I nodded a little and smiled.
"Yeah I was kind of surprised when I could smell the vampire scent," I admitted. The woman, Bella, smiled again and nodded before stepping back.
"Oh and then also Emery this is my dad," said Reneesme, I turned to look at the man then who stepped forward then. I froze as I looked at him, it can't be, I thought. My eyes looking over his facial features and his copper colored hair, the exact same shade as mine, it's impossible, I thought yet there he was.
"Hello," he said, "I'm.."
"Edward." I said.
