Chapter 8 Time
It had been two months since I disappeared. The wolves had given us three months to get our new lives started somewhere far away from here. I think they gave us so much time because of Jacob. He had imprinted on Renesmee, a three year old (who looked ten thanks to her rapid growth). The whole idea still freaks me out a little, and I guess that is why they didn't want to tell me. I only found out because I could tell that they were really close and I kept wonder why one day Edward just let it slip. It all sounded fine till they got to the part that when she was old enough that they would fall in love. I still cringe thinking about it. How can you watch a kid grow up, protect them and love them then when they are old enough date them, the whole thing sound wrong. It only got weirder when Alice told me Bella and Jacob used to be in love.
I spent most of the first month of my new life grieving my own death. I watch the news all the time see if the police had any news on my disappearance. I kept hoping that they would find the truth and put my killers to justice but pray that that they wouldn't so I could talk to my family someday. Bella's father Charlie was the local sheriff so when ever he and his wife Sue came to visit I would have to hide out in case he recognized me. As I watch the news I saw less and less about my story. America was forgetting me but my family wasn't. Whenever I saw my mother on TV she looked more and more tried like she hadn't sleep since I was gone. If I ever found a way to get Clay and his hitman in jail without them confessing to my murder, if I could find someway to communicate with them so they wouldn't think it was sick joke (I could only write them an email or regular mail. Not telephone and no face to face) how could I explain putting them through all this pain?
Whenever I wasn't worrying about my family I was trying to find out if I had an ability. I couldn't run the fastest, and I couldn't read mind or see the future or any of the power that they did but I kept trying. One day I jumped off the roof to see if I could fly, I couldn't.
I was really starting to like some of the Cullens. Alice really was a lot like Cam they both loved fashion, were really bubble, and super annoying. Emmett was cool to he was really funny, he had a weird kind of humor like I noticed before. Esme was really great too, she was so sweet to me, and she always watch the news with me and held my hand when ever I need her. When I finally got to meet Renesmee after 3 weeks and pasting the Jacob test (I had to be able to smell him with out trying to eat him)I found that I really like her. She would show me memories of life before I got here. It put picture to the stories I had all ready hear. Stories about the big almost battle that help the wolves and the Cullens get even closer then they where. Everyone kept say that they where natural enemies but the relation ship seemed pretty civil to me. More then civil in some case friend and even family. Bella and her step brother Seth seemed really close to me even thought he was a wolf. I didn't have any prejudice against the wolves so Carlisle said that it must be a learned behavior not inherited.
All of the Cullen where couples, Alice and Jasper, Bella and Edward, Rosalie and Emmet, Esme and Carlisle. I was alone a lot. I tried hanging out with Nesse and Jacob but I couldn't be near them for too long, Whenever I felt like I may be loss control I would leave and it happened a lot. Even when I did try to hang with them Jacob would be so annoying. He always sat between me and Nesse and he never really let his guard down. He was always kind of tense. It wouldn't have bothered me so much but I was the only one he treated like that, the only one he didn't trust. Nesse was so sweet to me and she never seemed scared . When Seth came over he was really nice to me too, he would ask me about my old life. I spent a lot of time testing my new abilities seeing how fast I could run, which was really fast I beat everyone but Edward. I would see how much stuff I could carry and never found any thing that felt even a little heavy. One day I try to pick up a car and it was like nothing then I had Emmett sit on the car still nothing.
I spent most of my day in my room, Edwards's old room. He moved most of his thing out just leave a black love seat, a huge white and gold bed and an expensive stereo. After my first two days with the Cullen Alice and Bella went shopping for me, when they left Emmett told me Bella went to keep Alice in check. I still wasn't ready to be near humans so they asked me for my sized and to name so book and movie and music I like so I could fill me new room with things I liked. I thought that they would just get me a few top and some jeans (because I NEVER left the house except to hunt) but when they came back I saw what Emmett meant they bought me a whole new wardrobe and then some. Everything was designer and they didn't just get shirt and jeans Alice came back with what I could only assume was an entire department store. She had so many shoe maybe 12 pairs of shoes all heels. There were a few dress that look like the kind someone would wear on a red carpet, I didn't know much about Forks but from what I have heard even if I can ever go out in public I didn't think I would blend in very well wearing them . Some of the dress where more appropriate, they were more like cock tail dresses. There were some really nice tops and pants, not many jeans. They also got me jewelry really expensive jewelry, there were diamonds and gold and silver everywhere, I knew I would never wear any of them. One necklace did stand out to me it was a little gold heart on a thin chain, it look like the one I used to have when I was human me and my sister all had one it was from our parents. Our were not real gold like this one and did have the little diamonds around it outline but I was close enough. I took the necklace and put it on right away, I wasn't wearing mine when I was killed so I asked them how they knew. Bella told me that Edward saw me thinking about it. I didn't know what to do but tell him thank you. After they finished showing me all my new clothes, shoes, handbags, and accessories, Bella showed me the books and movie from my list everyone plus one I had never hear of that she thought I'd like. Just when I thought that there couldn't be any more Alice pulled out a new laptop, IPod, and IPhone (the people at Apple must have been very happy). All my music was on it and again more things I had never hear of but soon loved. The bill for their little shopping must have been well into the ten thousands. I wonder if they where tying to buy my love.
I tried to keep my mind off of Clay but it was hard I felt so angry every time I thought of him that I had to act out physically. I would literally get up from whatever I was doing and run to try and find him, every part of me want him dead. They would always stop me and Jasper would calm me down. I didn't understand why I could control my own anger but Carlisle explain that it was because I was "still so young". I couldn't wait to get pass this whole newborn thing.
