1. Denali
Alaska was not that far away, the run took me about half a day or so. Tanya's coven lived in the middle of nowhere, the only reason I found it was because of their scent. I stopped at the door panting; I did not usually run this long.
I heard footsteps near the door and I composed myself. Tanya appeared in front of me.
"Nessie" Tanya hollered
"Hi" I panted
"Come in"
I walked into the most beautiful living room in the world. It was very light, just like my parents house. The walls were a light shade of green, and the floors were wooden. They had some white leather couches in the center of the leaving room, a green carpet in the middle, and a TV close to the door.
Carmen, Kate, and Eleezar sat motionless on the couch, staring at the TV. Carmen's eyes darted to mine, and her face light up with joy.
"Nessie" she screamed with joy
"Hi, Carmen"
"Are you ok, what brings you to our home" Kate spoke quickly
"I needed to get away from the cottage, I need to think, will it be too much if I stayed here for some time" I questioned
"You can stay here for eternity, come let's get you a room" Tanya said
We went up a large amount of stairs before we got to the room I would be sleeping in. It was as beautiful as the living room. It had a light shade of pink for the walls, the floor was wooden, and there was a queen sized bed in the back of the room, next to some drawers. In the front of the room were a TV, a closet, and a bathroom.
"Thank you Tanya, you are so good to me" I sobbed
"It's ok, don't, and don't cry" she hugged me softly
She left me to sleep; it was about two in the morning. I fell asleep after about two hours of thinking and worrying about my family and Eric.
"Nessie, wake up Nessie" Kate tugged my shoulder
"Hmmm" I waved my hand to the door to tell her to go away
"We are going hunting want to come" she said enthusiastically
My eyes snapped open, as soon as hunting was mentioned my throat burst into flames.
"Let's go" I croaked
We went to a forest in another direction than Forks, leading us somewhere further up Alaska. I tracked down a mountain lion, I was surprised that I was able to find one, and quickly killed it, lunging at its throat.
When I was done hunting, I sat on a rock and waited, bored to death wanting my family.
I should have never left; I should have stayed and explained to Eric about me, not leaving him like that. I didn't know him that much, but I felt a big amount of guilty that I treated him so harshly.
"Ness, what's wrong?" Carmen appeared next to me
"I did a bad thing" I muttered
"What is it" she was puzzled
"I left my family, and a person I didn't even know with such bad behavior. I was so rude to them, I feel so guilty"
"Why" she questioned, a little bit of harshness in her tone, but I deserved it
"Alice and Jasper they are alive, but when they came they brought someone. His name is Eric and I treated him so harshly"
"Alice and Jasper are alive" she hollered
"I know I was shocked to" I mumbled
"Don't be sad, people make mistakes all the time"
"But I am not a person, I am a monster"
Carmen's eyes widen, as she had sunken in my words.
"Nessie, don't ever say that, you know that you are as good and kind hearted as a human could be, how dare you speak like that"
"But"
"No buts"
She sounded like a mom, all protective of her child; I wished my mom was here.
We ran to the cottage, I was quiet the whole way.
"I am going to sleep"
"Ok" they all said in harmony
I ran up the stairs, slamming my door, and crying myself to sleep, how could I put someone in such bad standards, when I did not even know the person. I knew that every day that passed by, that I stayed here in Alaska, without my family and friends I would be as depressed as I am now.
A month had passed by and Tanya and I went to go shopping at the nearest department store. I bought like a billion clothes, shopping was something I loved to do; I got that gene from Alice. Tanya was not the least bit bored all day. We ran back to the house around five o'clock pm. I flew the door open and I saw a tall dark figure standing in the middle of the living room, my bags dropped to the floor. Eric.
"What are you doing here?" I screeched
"Be nice to him Nessie" Kate said
"Sorry" I hissed
"We need to talk" Eric whispered at me
"Why should we" the guilt that had almost gone away was returning
He glared at me furiously and grabbed my hand; he took me outside where no one could hear us. When he stopped I looked at him with anger.
"What do you want Eric" I hissed
"I am sorry that I made you mad like that I had no idea it was because of you, but no one wants to tell me what you are, no one, it's aggravating Nessie"
"You do not know what I am?" I questioned in hysteria, he did not notice the blood running through my veins and the heart that beat faster than a normal human's would
"I was going to ask you about that" he looked like he was concentrating on something very hard
"It might be confusing at first but it should have not taken you this long" I hollered, he was concentrating on it I bet
A couple of minutes past, this was so stupid, why couldn't I just tell him, but what was more stupider was why I was going to tell him in the first place, why this stranger should know any of this.
"I give up" he said ignoring my thoughts "you're not a human that is obvious, but you're not a vampire" he came closer to me taking my hand and playing with it.
"It is very easy" I muttered
"I must be very stupid then" he snickered
"I'm half- immortal half-mortal" I spat out, I hated saying what I was, the feeling of being a freak rushed through me
He looked at my face, curiosity in his eyes. Then, he went back at playing with my hand looking as relaxed and calm as before.
"Your half- immortal half-mortal, how does it work?" he puzzled
My heart beat faster than normal as he looked in my eyes, I did not notice before but we were very close together, and a voice in the back of my head told me that it was wrong and dangerous, but why dangerous. I saw him smile, and I forget he could read my mind.
"You think I am dangerous" he asked
"No" I lied
"You know more than you should" he said under his breath
"So do you" I said with both disgust and nervousness. Who was he?
"How stupid of me to forget, I know everything about you, but you know nothing about me" he said
I half smiled at his words. He was actually introducing himself to me for some odd reason, and now that I looked at his face more clearly, it was like I never seen a face anything close to his. His face was beyond perfect, but I did not want to fall for a guy that I didn't even know.
" My name is Eric Castel, I was born in Montreal, Canada in 1965 when I was seventeen I was changed, you know I never tasted human blood before"
How ironic, the memories of my family came out of where I thought I had locked it up for good. I remember Carlisle and his wisdom, and how he never tasted human blood before, and how my dad was also seventeen when he was changed.
I shuddered, and looked at him. He was staring at me, with apologetic eyes.
"I am sorry that I reminded you of them, I didn't mean to" he mumbled
"No, its ok, you actually remind me of them, in a good way" I said respectfully
His lips turned into a large grin that knocked the breath out of me, it was so beautiful it could not possibly be real. How ironic could this get, that was the same thing my mother thought of my dad, I chuckled in silence.
"There you are" I heard Alice say, as she slowed her pace with the rest of the family
Everyone looked up to see me and Eric close to each other, to close to each other. I stepped back a few steps away from him, so they wouldn't assume anything was going on, Eric was nice, but I don't know if I liked him, not yet. I saw him smile at my thoughts, and I blushed scarlet.
Alice's eyebrow went up as she took in what she just saw; I hope she wasn't already thinking we were together.
"Nessie, um, sorry but we were looking for you" Jane mumbled
"We didn't mean to interrupt anything" Alice smirked
"No, it's ok" I ran to the door of the Denali's and gestured for them to follow, they ran quickly.
"Kate, Carmen, Tanya, and Eleezar" I hollered
"Yes" they said in harmony
"We have some visitors" I said
"More" Tanya said playfully as her eyes met Alice's
"Tanya" Alice hollered
"Alice" she hollered back
"I never knew you were alive"
"We just got back I am sorry we kept you worried" Alice apologized
"Hello, Jasper" Tanya greeted him
"Hello" he greeted back
"Who have we here" Kate got up now
"Jane and Gabriel" I pointed out
They greeted each other quietly.
"I think we already know this young man" Carmen pointed to Eric
Eric was introduced to the Denali coven and Eric introduced himself to the Denali coven.
"We need to go its getting very late" Jasper said
"All right, visits soon" Kate hollered
I was surprised that Eleezar had not said one word to anyone the whole time we were there. He nodded occasionally, but from the beginning he was very quiet.
We darted out of the house, with all the clothes I had bought, hardly weighing anything. When we got to the house Alice's face turned furious.
"What were you thinking Renesmee" Alice screeched, I never knew so much anger could be put in such a small person
"I am sorry, but I couldn't stay here it was too much" I muttered
"I am sorry Nessie" she understood what I was talking about, my parents
"It's ok" I forgave her
"Nessie" Jane called out
"Yes" I muttered
"Sorry, if I am intruding in your conversation, but we are going hunting want to come" she asked
I thought of the burning in my throat, and I darted to the door.
"Come on" I hollered
