After Nikki dropped me of and away I ran to the house, dropped my bags on the floor and grabbed the phone. "Come on…Come on…Pick up,"
"Hi!"
"Grandma I have to talk to you!"
"Leave a message and I'll talk to you soon." I put the phone down and then dialed Charlie's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey Charlie I'm back. I have to talk to you about something."
"I Ness sorry I have to go there's a lot I have to do at the station and I have an early start tomorrow. So make yourself dinner and go to bed and get to school okay. I have to talk to you later okay. Bye."
"Bye?" I put the phone down and sighed punching in the number of the last person who could help me. Michael. "Ring…Ring…Ring…Ring…" Nothing. In fury I slammed the phone down on the receiver and stormed up into my room. I flopped on my bed and began to cry. I've never felt so alone or confused. I recognized Jasper and Alice and Rosalie and Emmett. Who could forget Emmett?!? Oh yeah, I did. But something was missing. Something wasn't right. I needed help. I cried myself to self stressing over the fact I was the missing piece.
Michael was not at school the next day. I walked through the halls like a zombie, burnt out and scary. I didn't talk to Nikki or anyone else today. Bethany wasn't in science either. I dragged myself to the cafeteria and bought a grilled cheese sandwich and some fruit. I dropped down into a chair next to Vesa and listen to Emma pleading with Nikki to tell her what she and Chase did in Rio.
"Tell me!"
"No."
"Please!"
"No it's a secret."
"Please please please please PLEASE! with cherries on top?"
"NO! It's a secret!"
"I have a secret."
"What is it?"
"Secret."
"I'll tell you mine! We went to the beach a lot and he kisses me and we went out to eat at a fancy restaurant and… he's great at pedicures!" Nikki held out her perfect French manicured toes complete with little pink flowers.
"He said if the basketball career doesn't work out he's thinking about opening a spa! I don't blame him for wanting to. He has the healthiest and softest hair! But I'm hoping for the basketball. Now tell me your secret!"
"Well… today when I was you know driving to school… I looked out the window and…. I saw…"
"YOU SAW WHAT?!?"
"I don't know Nessie should we tell her?"
Nikki had a wild look in her eye and I swear I saw her twitch. I nodded quickly.
"I saw… Nessie driving in front of me! I honked at her like beep beep beepy beppy beep beeepp beep beep! And she was all like honk…" Emma smile. Nikki playful smacked her hand on the back of Emma's head. She gave me an annoyed look. I giggled.
"So," she changed the subject, "Ness are you coming to me and Vesa's volleyball game today at 8."
"Probably, depends on the homework load. Do we get homework in English or Math or Science?"
"No." the chorus at our table sang.
"Well I guess I'll see you there! Were playing the "Not so mighty after we beat them last time" Cougars for the state finals."
"Cool I'll be there." The bell rang and I strolled to my locker. I was given extra time today because I forgot my book for study hall. I walked to the abandoned long hall were my locker was. There were no classrooms and the stairs were far away. Students disappeared and I was all alone. Or so I thought.
Suddenly I was struck by something heavy on the back of my head. I fell into my knees. Another on came to my head and I was forced to fall onto my hands. Blood filled my nose and gagged unable to properly breathe. I received a blow to the chest and a rib cracked. I opened my mouth to scream but two icy hands squeezed around my neck, cutting off all oxygen. I foot pinned me down to the cold marble floor. I was roughly flipped over and saw Bethany standing above me.
"You know, humans are so fragile and breakable. One false move…" She moved her high heeled shoe to my throat and pressed hard and once again I was unable to breath.
"And you might not take another breath of air again." She seized my new jacket and I heard the green stitches breaking. Bethany slammed me into a locker forcefully and twisted my arm.
"Do everything I say." she hissed into my ear. Oh crap…
Bethany dragged me by the hair to the parking lot and stuffed me into her car. She sped of towards the highway.
"Michael was my first and only love! He was mine! And YOU stole him away from me!" She made a sharp turn and stomped on the gas pedal. "You are a worthless mortal! You are nothing compared to me! She speeds towards the La Zoona Beach thirty miles away from La Push. It was recently closed because of the number of…deaths.
"He kissed you. He loved you!" She slammed hard on the brakes and I hit my head on the dash board. "Bethany I'm sorry!"
"Oh you're going to be sorry! I figured on a simple answer. Michael + Bethany = happy couple. Michael + Renesmee = a couple who thinks they're happy but they're really miserable and the world is sad and ends in an explosion of hatred. Michael + Bethany – Renesmee = happy world!!!"
"What about Renesmee?"
"Get out of the car." I did what she said and for the first time realized where we were. The car was parked on a cliff and only a foot separated me from the edge.
"Renesmee, do you know anything from your past. How you parents are? Were you came from? How you almost and should have died." I opened my mouth but she continued.
"Yeah you heard me right. A vampire group called the Volturi tried to kill you. Renesmee you shouldn't be breathing right now! The Volturi have the power to kill anyone they want. I thought I'd finish the deed." She placed her hands on my chest and pushed. I began to plummet to my grave. The waves swirled high and I doubted I'd live. I hit the freezing water hard and sank. This is when it all came back.
My name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen and my parents are Edward and Bella Cullen. My father changed my mother and the Volturi feared me. They attempted to kill me but failed. I remember I have a special power, I can tell people what I'm thinking by touch. My best friend is Jacob Black. He was a werewolf. He played with me and gave me rides on his back. I remember Rosalie doing my hair in a French Braid and Alice taking me on a shopping spree for the first time. I remember Jasper reading me every book on my book shelf aloud and Emmett dancing with me in my room wearing a tutu and a pink cowboy hat. I remember Carlisle doing tests on me and Esme getting me ice cream is I was brave. I remember listening to Daddy play piano and Mommy taking me out hunting. I drink thick blood out of a cup and a bottle growing up. I remember my parents tucking me in on night in my crib and finding me the next morning in the living room watching T.V. Turns out I bit a hole through the bars of my crib. I remember falling asleep to the sound of Jacob's loud snores the night before I almost died. I knew Jacob was dead and it was the Volturi's fault. I remember Aro staring me straight in the face. I remembered Bethany's face as she pushed me and Michael's soft lips as he kissed my cheek for the first time. Had I really screwed everything up? I remember the Volturi lived in Italy. I remember… I remember it all.
I awoke on a sandy shore. Someone was shaking my shoulder and calling my name. I rolled onto my back. Seth smiled and hugged me.
"How'd you…" he began. I sat up and climbed to my feet. I began running towards the now familiar road towards the city. Seth caught up to me easily and stopped me. "Were to you think you're going?"
"I have to go. I have to fix everything!" I proceeded to run but he picked me up so I couldn't.
"But where?" he pleaded.
"Michael's house, there's so much I need to tell him." Seth dropped me, spun me around and grabbed my shoulders shaking them violently.
"His ex-girlfriend tries to murder you and you go to his house! Are you out of your mind?" I looked around and noticed a red and black motorcycle under trees.
"Sometimes love makes you go out of your mind." I smiled and he gave me a strange look. I got an idea. "Seth! Bethany's over by those rocks by the cliff. She's on the wrong territory!" Seth growled and sprinted towards the cliffs turning into a large wolf. I darted to the bikes and started the red one. I remembered Jake teaching me one day. The engine roared to life and I put on the helmet that was next to the bike. I directed the bike to the road and saw out of the corner of my eye Seth turn around a run after me. I just need to make it onto the highway.
Bella's Point of View
I sat with my head on Edward's shoulder. We were in Alaska with the Denali Coven and lived in a house by Tanya. Edward played my lullaby on the small keyboard he purchased not wanting to the large black piano with him. I think it sounds better with the grand piano.
Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie have been talking none stop since they've gotten back from Isle Esme. They rave on and on about Renesmee and her friends. She also has a boyfriend that Alice knew about weeks in advance. Actually we left the house to the Jetmin's because they were good and trusted friends of Zafrina.
I sighed regretting that Edward and I didn't go with them, but Carlisle said it would be best. I missed her so much. Edward kissed me slightly, not stopping playing and we could heard Emmett and Jasper playing wrestling outside over the game last night. Alice was chatting with Carmen and Rosalie was hunting. Carlisle found a job at another hospital and Esme became a nurse.
Alice suddenly burst in our little house. She was paler than normal and I could sense her fear. "Renesmee," she breathed.
Renesmee Point of View
I arrived to the Jetmin's house. Before I got inside I gasped astonished. This was my house. Or at least it was. I set the bike down on the grass and took of the helmet fixing my hair.
I walked up the steps and opened the door with out bothering to knock. Bethany and Michael were kissing passionately on the stairs. A few of Michael's buttons were undone, revealing his muscular white chest. His hands were inter-locked in her hair and her hands ran up and down this torso.
I felt like I was shot. I felt a hole in my heart. My tears watered up. "Michael," I breathed so softly I couldn't hear myself. "Michael," I tried a little louder. Tears began to fall down my face. "Michael… Goodbye Michael." I said. They hadn't even noticed me.
I turned and slammed the door. I ran to the bike and tripped. I lay in the gravel and I took everything I had to get back up. I started my bike a sped as fast as I could towards my house. Tears flooding my face.
I collapsed in the driveway and ran to my room. I grabbed a suit case and uncaringly tosses some clothes int. I grabbed my toiletries and passport. Then the wade of cash I hadn't bothered to spend. I wrote a goodbye note to Charlie. I darted outside and moved towards the school and changed cars. I sped as fast as I could to the airport.
Next stop: Italy
