9. RENEESME CARLIE CULLEN
I woke up in the morning, with Jacob still by my side, snoring silently. I smiled seeing him asleep like that. I guess all that love we made last night really took a toll on him. I stood and walked slowly so that I didn't wake him up. I placed the blanket gently over his body so that he wouldn't catch a cold. We were both sweating; after all, our body heat is higher than most human.
Putting my shirt from yesterday on, I walked to my room to take a shower. I heard a phone ring from the living room. Jacob's phone is ringing; I couldn't help my curiosity and looked who it is.
CULLENS
That is all written from the name. It keeps on ringing. I picked the phone up, and waited for someone to answer.
"Nessie?" A velvet voice came through the speaker and hit me. I was so surprised at how familiar the voice sounded, and yet, I didn't know whom it is. I gulped down my watering mouth. "Nessie, love, I know it is you."
"Yes." I answered. I felt a very calm wave flowing through my body when I heard the velvet voice. I then remember my dream, of the forest. Of the man that cared for me and said he will protect me, and meet again with me someday. "Daddy?" I broke in tears, realizing how I missed him.
"Yes. I am so glad to hear your voice. I missed you so much." He then said. "Your mother is here with me, and she wanted to speak to you."
I nodded, knowing he will not see it, but then the voice changed into another familiar voice. This time, it is more soothing, and very, very gentle. "Reneesme," She said, and I knew that is my name "I missed you so much, sweetheart." I couldn't help but to sob. Hearing my parent's voice after 7 years is truly giving me an emotional time. "Reneesme, is Jacob there? I know we have a lot to talk about, but this is important. Will you take the phone to Jacob, please?"
I sobbed, "H—He's… He's still as—asleep." Choking every word.
"I'm up." Jacob then came to the living room, half dressed wearing his stretched pants. He came to sit by my side, kissed my forehead, and gestured for the phone.
"I missed you, mom. I missed you, dad. So much." Then I gave the phone to Jacob, as he brings it to his room, and closed the door. I sobbed quietly in the living room. After a few good sob, I went to my bathroom and washed myself with hot water. Hot water always calms me down.
I remember now. Everything. The voices of my parents were all it needs to bring back everything I've forgotten for the last 7 years.
I am Reneesme Carlie Cullen.
The name in my head rings like a bell. Remembering what had happened to me, taking it all in like breathing oxygen through my lungs.
I am the daughter of Bellan and Edward Cullen.
I knew whom I belong to now. Who I really am. This is me. The hybrid daughter. The one that the Volturi wants. I remembered about my first encounter of the Volturi. They were there to kill me. 7 years ago, they tried to take me away from my family. That is why I ended up forgetting my memory to a man in South America, and lived human with Jacob.
He is Jacob Black.
I dried my self and put on some clothes. Jacob wasn't finished with them; I really wanted to talk to my parents. To hear their voices again. I knew after this I would finally meet them. Me, back to where I belong. I would go back to my family and lived with them again. Aunt Alice must have seen the Volturi surrender or something. Otherwise, they wouldn't risk calling me, and invoke my past memories.
I got dressed and went to he kitchen to cook breakfast for us both. I can't stop smiling, thinking that it is not going to be long until the day we met again. I couldn't wait to hug my mother and father, also my aunts and uncles, also my grandparents. There is so much to talk about when we meet.
How soon is it until we meet?
Then Jacob stepped out of his room and walked to hug me and kissed me as I chopped some fruits, mostly apples. I am thinking about making an apple pie, since I will have most of the day to my self.
"You seemed pretty happy?" Jacob teased, whispering in my ear.
"You think? Who wouldn't be happy? I finally knew who I was. I knew there is something more to my life than this."
"I'm glad you're happy Nessie." He sighed and kissed my hair, which now smelled like some tropical fruit, my favorite shampoo. "We need to go tonight. To Forks." He said.
"Tonight?" I was soft of surprised. I thought we would meet soon, but not this soon. "Why tonight?" I asked.
"Because I need to attend my father's funeral." He said sadly. Jacob's father had died before I can properly introduce my self. It was a shame, I think my mom told me about him, and saw him a couple of times. He is a very nice man, always protective. Just like Jacob now. Protecting me, in anyway he can. "Reneesme?"
"Mmm?"
He laughed a little. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing. It's just that… It's been a long time since you answered to that name." He half smiled and starts to help me with cutting the apples, as I proceed to the crust. "Do you notice?"
"Notice what?" A bit confused.
"I've been calling you… I mean, by your real name. While you sleep. Hoping you would come back and see me not as your brother anymore."
That's why! My name has been ringing in my head so often when I was still in my amnesia. Jacob's been calling me. "Well… you do know that if we are leaving tonight, we need to do some paperwork. Also, I need to say goodbye to some of my friends."
"Well… I think we can manage some goodbyes. The paperwork can wait. I'm sure Edward's going to have some plan to keep your grades up. But the goodbye has to be on a down low." He said.
"Okay. After I finished the pie okay?"
He smiled at me and we continued to make our apple pie. It is sort of remarkable. Jacob and I have been bonding for so long, and now, we finally realize that we love each other since the first time we bonded. Eating the pie together is a bittersweet moment. Sweet because I was with Jacob and we love each other. Bitter because this is a goodbye to my human life. I will need to go back to my mythical life, as a vampire.
As Reneesme Carlie Cullen.
