Chapter 6:
"Night!" I called out to Bella and Edward.
"Night Ness!" Edwards voice yelled back.
"Night baby." Bella's melodic voice said back. I walked into my room and shut the door. After locking it I walked over to my closet with my school bag in hand. I threw in a couple pairs of clothes and some of my favorite items. And then I made sure to take a picture of Bella and Edward with me. I didn't know how long I would be gone for but that when my father asked me to do something there was no saying no. I stuffed my pillows under the covers of my bed in hopes that they would believe it was me for some time. I opened my window and closed my eyes letting the cold wind brush up against my face.
"Bye for now." I whispered into my dark room. I slipped out of the window and onto the tree branch touching the side of the house. Jumping down I stayed silent for a moment to make sure Bella and Edward hadn't heard the noise. And then I booked it down the street into the night.
I pulled my bag tightly to my body as I made my way up the stairs to the police station. I walked straight up to the counter standing on my toes to see over.
"Excuse me." I said loudly. A man with black hair, middle aged, and tallish walked over to greet me.
"Hello, little one." He smiled at me. I didn't smile back. I had to look older than I really was.
"I'm here to see my father." I said trying to look around him into the back room.
"Your father…." He started. I watched as he scratched the back of his head. "And who might that be."
"His name is Brian Rowe." I said still looking at the police man. "And he should be here."
"Can I ask how old you are little one?" He said again.
"I'm 9." I said. He was just trying to stall. Then his phone rang and he put it to his ear.
"Yeah, I have her right here, yeah Bells she fine don't worry." The police chief said. He shut his phone and walked around the corner to meet me on the other side.
"So Renesmee, you ran away from home." He said leading me over to the chairs.
"I came to see my father." I stated matter of factly. "And how did you know my name?" I turned to look at him. He ran his hand down his face.
"Because I know Bella and she just called here looking for you." He said.
"Damn, that was fast." I muttered under my breathe. I looked back at him. "How do you know Bella?" I asked.
"I'm her father, Charlie." He smiled at me.
"So then…" I trailed off.
"Yes, I'm your grandfather." He chuckled and rustled my curly hair.
"Cool." I smiled back at him. I never met my real grandparents before. My father always told me that they died.
"So why did you come to see your father?" Charlie asked.
"Because he wanted me to come see him." I said. "And when he says something I have to do it."
"Renesmee…" Charlie put his hands on my shoulder and bent down so that he was eye level with me. "You don't ever have to see that bad man again, he is put away for a long time. Don't worry about him." Charlie kissed me on the forehead before sitting back down in his seat. I was about to thank him when a frantic Bella came bursting in through the front doors.
"Oh my baby." She said when her eyes landed on me. She ran over to me and pulled me into her arms. "Don't ever do that to me again angel." Her tone was stern but I could tell that she was relieved.
"I'm sorry momma." I said as I wrapped my arms around her neck. She pulled back and ran her hand down my cheek.
"I was so scared." She cried. I reached out and whipped away her tears with my finger. She let out a small laugh. "I went to your room to check on you and when you weren't there I didn't know what to do." Edward was over talking to Charlie. Every now and then he would glance over at Bella and I.
"I just needed to see someone." I said and looked down at my lap. Bella put her hand under my chin and forced me to look into her eyes.
"Who Renesmee." She asked.
"Just someone." I said trying to look away. I was suddenly ashamed for trying to see my father and scaring Bella and Edward.
"Renemee who." She asked again. She kept her voice soft and soothing.
"My father." I said and felt a chill go down my back at the mention of him. Bella gasped.
"Why?" I could see the hurt in her eyes. The worst part was that I put it there all because I let my father tell me what to do again.
"He wanted me too." I said.
"How did he even get to you?" Her hands ran through my hair.
"He called my cell phone, I don't know how though." I stated. Imediently Bella stood up and walked over to her father leaving me alone in the chair.
"How did he call her dad!" Bella yelled. And the tears were back.
"Bella hunny, I'm trying to find that out now." Charlie said. Edward was rubbing her back trying to calm her down.
"Kill him for all I care. He will have nothing to do with my baby." Bella yelled out. And I watched as she fell back into Edwards arms sobbing. Edward was whispering words of comfort into Bella's ear as he lead her over to me. She sat down in his lap and rested her head on his chest. She beckoned me over to come sit on her lap. I did as she asked. We sat like that for a while, just listening to each others heartbeats until Charlie came back.
"It's been taken care of." He said to Edward. Edward nodded his head. Grandpa Charlie carried me to the car, while Edward carried Bella. I closed my eyes welcoming the darkness and when I reopened them I was in my own bed again and Edward was tucking me in.
"Go to sleep baby girl." He said softly and kissed my cheek.
"Love you daddy." I mumbled still half asleep.
"I love you too Renesmee. Forever."
