"I refuse to let that woman around my daughter!" Edward screamed.
Emmett had his arms around the copper haired vampire. Despite Jasper's powers Edward refused to stay calm for long, bursting with rage whenever he got the chance.
Carlisle moved them outside to try and have a private conversation, but Edwards' yelling worked against them.
"If Edward doesn't trust her then I certainly won't allow her around Renesmee," Bella stated taking her place by her husband.
Rosalie put a hand on her hip and pointed a finger at Carlisle. "I say she stays after all she was one of us before and is still my best friend."
"You haven't spoken to her in ages!" Edward retorted.
"Doesn't matter Edward," the blonde said boldly. "Besides, when I thought Bella was a threat no one listened to me and we allowed her our home simply because he loved her. Well now it's my turn. I care about her and I want her to stay. I believe her when she says that she means no harm."
"I think Rosalie has a point, Edward," Esme said. "After all the Volturi and us have an agreement. They won't start anything with us."
"I don't give a damn!" Edward screamed. "I refuse to allow my daughter to be corrupted by her!"
"What is with you?" Rosalie asked taking a step towards her brother. "The two of you got along fine before she left."
Edward was quiet and his hands balled into fists. Bella watched his nostril's flare. It was scary that he was this angry over some woman.
"Fine," he hissed. "Let her teach Renesmee, but I won't have anything to do with her."
"I'm sure that'll work out for everyone," Rosalie said coldly.
"Quiet!" Emmett said raising his hand in the air for silence. "She's here. Renesmee is here."
Vanessa was walking around the house taking in the changes that had occurred since she'd left. There were more graduation caps on the wall and everything was modernized from the televisions to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and saw that it was filled with food.
What is the point of having a fully loaded kitchen, when you don't eat normal food? She thought with an eye roll.
"The lives of the nouveau riche," she scoffed as she closed the fridge door.
Footsteps rang out through the hallway and Vanessa turned to see a teenage girl looking at her. It only took one glance to see that it was Renesmee Cullen since the girl looked almost exactly like her father. Her copper curls were tied back from her face and she was dressed in faded jeans and a tan t-shirt.
"You must be Renesmee," Vanessa commented as she leaned against the kitchen counter.
The teen girl looked at the blonde vampire carefully and kept a distance between them. "Where is my family?"
Well at least she has common sense Vanessa thought with approval.
"Don't worry they are out back talking," Vanessa said pointing to the back yard. "I'm sure they'll be inside soon enough."
"Renesmee!" Bella yelled out.
"See," Vanessa said with a sassy smirk.
Bella ran from the back and embraced her daughter tightly. Renesmee smiled and squeezed her mother lightly.
"I missed you mother. La Push was lovely though and Jacob sends his regards."
"Well I'm glad that your home," the brunette said softly giving her a light peck on the forehead. "However there is something we need to talk about."
Bella looked at Vanessa coldly as she took her daughter by the shoulder and lead Renesmee into the living room to explain the situation.
After explaining to the hybrid vampire about her Vanessa, the young vamp was not thrilled to learn that she was going to have a private teacher.
"I don't understand why grandpa can't just teach me what he knows," she said stubbornly.
Renesmee sat on the sofa with her mother and Edward stood behind Bella his eyes never leaving Vanessa. The blonde vampire was leaning against the bookshelf and growing more and more irritated with child. The girl had this annoying sense of superiority that was extremely unattractive.
"It's just to see if there is anything special about you other than your powers," Vanessa explained, trying to move things along.
Renesmee's head tilted upwards proudly. "I already am special. Mom told me so."
At that Vanessa snorted and pushed herself of the bookshelf. "Oh really?" she asked crossing her arms. "How many languages do you speak?"
The teen raised a copper eyebrow. "Only one, English. Why?"
Vanessa laughed and shook her head. "When I was five-years-old I, along with many other children, was already bilingual in English and Hebrew. At seven I could speak French and by fourteen Latin. You're a five years only, supposedly special and you only speak English?" Vanessa let out a snort. "Have you ever left Forks?"
"No, but…"
"I was on boats to France by three. Can you play an instrument?"
The teen looked like she was on the verge of tears. "N-n-n-o, but I was going to start piano in a few…"
"So you don't speak any other languages, have no musical talents, you're not culturally away. So please tell me how you are special?" Vanessa asked her voice getting very sardonic.
Edward growled and he was suddenly right in-front of Vanessa. The blonde almost flinched, but managed to keep still.
"Don't talk to my daughter like that," he hissed.
"Then don't fill her head with pompous nonsense," Vanessa snapped back. "I am not here to maker her feel good about herself. I am here to teach her since you obviously have not."
"Listen here you little…"
"Grab him Emmett," Jasper warned. "He's about to go mental."
"No, I'm okay," Edward said taking a small step away from Vanessa.
The blonde looked at Renesmee, the teenager looked more like a little girl at the moment. Her brown eyes were watery as she whipped her nose. The shame and embarrassment was obvious. Vanessa felt sorry for her.
She's probably had nothing but praise her entire life.
Sighing Vanessa walked passed Edward and kneeled in front of Renesmee. "I am sorry for being a tad mean, but I am just that way at times. You can ask your Aunt Rosalie. However, it is for your best interest. You need someone who is going to be honest with you and that's why I'm here, to be your governess."
Renesmee nodded and sniffled softly. "I-I-I understand."
"Good, then we will start tomorrow at twilight for a morning run into the forest. Be on time."
Vanessa rose and looked around at the family of Cullen's. "Thank you for allowing me to stay in your home. I will try and stay out of everyone's way. Good night."
"Thank goodness that's over," Vanessa groaned as sank into the bathtub. Trying to be strong was hard, especially when every nerve in your body was telling you otherwise. Yet, today she had made it after all.
She was staying in one of the extra rooms in the Cullen house. Fortunately, there were a few beds in the rooms because of the werewolves that often visited. It came as a nice surprise, since Vanessa was able to sleep and enjoyed the habit.
As the warm water washed over her body the blonde reached into her jeans pocket and pulled out her cell phone. She pressed 1 and listened to the rings.
There was a soft click as the call was answered. "How are you amata?" Aro asked, his voice giving her more comfort.
"I am fine actually," she said sinking into the water. "Better than I expected."
"Ah, so you didn't pass out like you thought you would?"
"I really have to stop letting read my thoughts."
"That would require me to stop touching you, which I'm sure neither of us is eager to do," he said with a small laugh in his voice. Vanessa practically see the smirk on the lips.
"Very funny," she cooed back. "I just wanted to call so you knew everything was going your way. As usual."
"Perfect, hopefully the girl is a quickly learner and you'll be back home soon."
"Hmm, do you miss me?"
"You belong here."
Vanessa pouted slightly. "That wasn't my question."
The phone clicked off suddenly leaving only the dial tone. Vanessa looked at the phone with a frown. She had wanted him to say that he missed her, as pathetic as it was.
After all he does have a wife and I'm just the mistress. She probably is getting in good with him while I'm away.
Submerging herself totally into the water Vanessa closed her eyes and shut off her senses. Allowing herself only to feel the water wash over her.
Unfortunately, due to this she failed to hear someone enter the bathroom.
Thus ends chapter four. Hope you are all enjoying yourselves so far.
