I do not own anything from Twilight.
Rpov.
I was lying in my bed and staring at the ceiling. I was feeling very guilty of what I did to Misha. I had promised myself I would never use my powers on my own friends, and here I had broken it just...
I looked at the clock on my table, in big, bright, green numbers it showed 2 am.
I had broken my promise just 6 hours ago and I was still hitting myself for it. I had made her see Vin Diesel instead of Jacob. Vin Diesel was the first person that popped in my mind, because I had seen a movie this mor... yesterday morning.
And can you blame me, I got close to the shape shifter, he wanted to talk to me and I almost had a heart attack, because he was a you know what, and because he looked so stunning in that tux.
And I still hadn't called Seth, well I tried but his phone was turned off, and not like I'm going to bother poor Lilith.
Suddenly the bed felt too uncomfortable and fresh air seemed like the right thing, opening balcony I was hit with strong smell of pine trees and the sound of crickets playing the song of their people. Everybody was asleep, well almost. You could hear a bed creaking few houses away and somebody singing to a old Pink Floyd song, probably the drunk Frankie, at least that's how the people called him. And my neighbor Eva, who I could see perfectly from my room window, and whose face was glowing in the blue computer screen again like every other night. I swear she sleeps almost as much as I do, witch isn't often.
"Eva, go to sleep. I'm sure that what ever is on that screen has to sleep too, so go to bed," her mother suddenly showed up and said. Eva was four years younger than me, well technically four years older, but lets pretend that I'm eighteen. On weekends she usually keeps reading books till 6 in the morning, and then she sleeps till one o'clock, but on school days only till 1 am, and then with dark circles under her eyes, she goes to school.
"But war doesn't sleep," she said to her mother, and I smiled, reminded me when I played water wars with uncle Em and Jazz, then mom would say I have to go to bed, but I would answer that war doesn't sleep, of course uncle Jazz always made me sleepy with his power after an angry look from my mother. Thinking about them made me miss them, I had a very short experience of childhood, because of my fast growing. Although a lot of kids want to grow up faster, I never did.
"If I say it does then it does," her mother sounded more strict now," you have ten seconds to turn it off and give me all your reading devices, or I'll cut the power."
"Fine, fine," she said in a dramatical voice doing what her mother had asked for. After eight long minutes of twisting and turning Eva fell asleep and I decided to go in to the forest for a bit, not far, only like a human taking a walk, no hunting.
So I jumped out of my window landing on my feet almost at the forest when I heard a gasp. I slowly turned around thinking how stupid I was that I hadn't checked if there was anybody out there, good thing I could make the person think he just imagined it all...
It was Mr. Goldy with his daughter's dog, wide eyes staring at me, probably thinking how I could have made that jump.
"How did you do that?" I could hear him say, also his dog had started to growl at me, and since I saw that Mr. Goldy was half asleep, I decided not to use my power on him.
"I'm a fairy," I said smiling an angelic smile and not trying to laugh. Mr. Goldy squinted his eyes trying to see but then he smiled too.
"But were are your wings?" he asked with a big goofy grin, but stopped when the dog stated to bark. I quickly climbed a tree and jumped to another one.
"I don't need them," I laughed looking at him. Mr. Goldy picked up his small dog and closed it's mouth so it would stop barking.
"OK," he said, "I think I've been reading too many books to Alie."
"Bye," I said and jumped to another tree, listening as he fell asleep and started snoring. Huh! I wish my dreams were so interesting, with neighbors jumping high and saying their fairies
I got on the ground and started walking, my bare foot touching the wet grass and feeling the soft floor of the forest. It was peaceful and again like yesterday I lied down on the forest floor to take a brake. The sky wasn't visible because of the thick three branches, only a small rays of moonlight could be seen, making the forest mysterious, which I liked very much.
I thought about sleeping myself, but sleep wouldn't come. Some bugs would crawl over my leg or arm, but I would ignore them. A branch would poke in to my back and I would crush it with lying on it with a little more force.
I had thought I would find it peaceful but I couldn't. Tamia's party was tomorrow, and then it will be Monday the next morning, and I dint feel like doing my homework tonight.
I tried to calm myself and enjoy the forest once again, but my hearing picked up a loud music blasting few miles away, it came from other side of the forest, near the beach and Dixie's home probably.
Before I had noticed it I was already running full speed there, took me only a minute to get there, but I stopped right at the edge of the forest to see what was there.
There really was a party going on, and like I suspected from the towns rich folk, Dixie, Jhonny, Alisha, Monika... bunch of other idiots who liked to spent their parent hard earned money.
Since I didn't have anything better to do, I decided to go in further. Little dancing couldn't do me any harm now could it?
I inspected what I was wearing. The nice summer dress and bare feet wouldn't stand out because of the sand, I looked like I had dressed for the party perfectly.
I easily got in with the crowd, boys offering me a drink, dancing, only thing I didn't agree to was "getting out of here," or "somewhere more private to talk". I told them politely I came to have fun, not shake the bushes. And after a while they gave up and started looking for another prey.
"Having fun?" I immediately turned around to face Jacob, where is my mind these days? why didn't I think that he could be here? but somehow I had come to see him here knowing he was here.
"Hey," I said smiling but continuing to dance with the rest. For a moment he seemed stunned.
"I thought you were avoiding me," he said over the loud music, and now I wanted to say "lets go somewhere more private".
"Where's your girlfriend?" I said instead of the previous thoughts.
"Went home," he sounded unsure. Suddenly the boy I was dancing to squeezed my hand and whispered in my ear.
"Let's go," alcohol dripping from his breath making him smell unappealing, he started to drag me away from the crowd. In those two seconds I made my decision. The boy was called Leo, and he was one of Medusa's close friends, he was too drunk to address me as Dixie's enemy only thinking about pretty looking girl in front of him. I punched him in the stomach not feeling sorry even for a bit. This guy was the one who broke my car three weeks ago, I had been able to tell from his smell, and also he once tripped me in the gym making me brake another boy's nose, and taking all my control not to suck him dry.
"Next time ask a lady," I said as he was clutching his stomach with his face red, I turned and started walking to the forest to go back home.
"I thought I was going to need to step in," Jacob said jogging next to me," but then I remembered you had a black belt in something."
I laughed, because that was a total lie. I had taken self defense study with uncle Em, but I said I had a black belt, so I could explain my good reflexes and strength.
"Where are you going?" Jacob asked as I was nearing the forest.
"Home," I simply answered.
"Through the forest?" he suddenly sounded angry and I had the urge to calm him down.
"Relax, how do you think I got here?" I rose and eyebrow looking at him.
"Do you even know what could lurk in there, what kinda beast are in the forest," he was trembling a bit and THAT was starting to scare me. But silly Jake, only beast in the forest are you and me.
"Look Jake, I promise I won't go in to the forest alone anymore okay," I said rising my hand," scouts honor."
He actually smiled and I was happy that he had stopped his little shaking no matter how small it had been.
"I don't believe a word you said," he became serious,"Let me at least take you home."
My heart sped up thinking about bad scenarios, all ending with him shredding me to pieces and me burning in to a purple smoke.
He noticed my sudden reaction because he quickly rushed out: "I swear to god I'm not gonna do anything to you."
I looked in this eyes and slowly nodded, he sounded like telling the truth, but I wasn't going to let my guard down, who knows what you can expect from a shape shifter.
"OK," I said and started walking knowing the way perfectly.
"So quickly?" he asked stunned by my sudden calmness.
"Yeah, your eyes didn't look like lying," we were quiet for a while, only the snapping of twigs and heartbeats were making noise.
"Where are your shoes?" he halted to a stop.
"At home," I kept on walking.
"You're really weird," he stated and I had to laugh.
"I'll take that as a compliment," after that it was quiet again, and I wondered what time it could be, maybe already 5 in the morning, I had been out for a long time and the sky was stating to get lighter.
"You lied about the scout thing too didn't you," Jakob asked, and I was guessing he was making a small talk just to make it comfortable walking few miles back.
"Actually, that part was true," I looked back to see his reply, he just shrugged.
"Do I get a story here?" he smiled.
"Sure, why not," I slowed down so we could be side by side while I talked, about this I didn't have to lie.
"My uncle is a personal trainer, and when I was little he used to make these kids camps for fun," I said which was true.
"And," he pushed on.
"And he made sometimes these scout missions where we would have to earn our dinner or sleeping bags. I'm sure he was enjoying it more than us." I laughed remembering the funny things he made us do.
"What about other family members," he asked sounding curios, maybe he was, but I didn't understand why would he care.
"Well I have a brother named Edwin," correction - father named Edward, but because of some things while they are working with big jobs they decided to change all their names, all except for uncle Em, he was too stubborn to think of something new.
"He got married to a nice girl last year, Anna," as in Annabella, like Bella - my mother.
"Then I have two uncles, Emmett and Jason," Emmett and Jasper.
"They are both married too. Emmett to Lilian and Jason to Alie," you get the point. That is also the whole story the town knows.
"And my father Carlos and my mother Emily," I'm sure you know that one too.
"Wow," he said," A big family you got there."
"What about you?" I didn't want to go in about what kinda jobs they have, or what about my grandparents, all in all, I'm supposed to be adopted anyway, so I tried to get him in to talking.
"I have two older sisters, my mother is dead and father in a wheelchair," he said without any kinda emotions.
"I'm so sorry," I said, and I really was, I knew I shouldn't have asked anything.
"If it makes you feel any better my mother died at giving birth to me, and my father killed himself the next day. Me and my brother were latter adopted by Carlos and Emily," I said with a blank expression, well that was the whole story the town knew about me. I had said it with out thinking, wanting to thin out his pain I saw in his eyes, even if it meant I had to lie.
"I'm so sorry," he repeated what I had said earlier," I shouldn't have mentioned my mother."
"It's okay, okay I can't miss the things I never knew." I was feeling bad for lying to him, but I noticed I could already see my house and the walk had ended, also the world seemed much lighter.
"Well here you go," he said noticing that I had stopped. It was awkward and I didn't know what to do in this kinda situation. Normal boy would get a kiss, but a freaking shape shifter, no way man, I wasn't that safe around him yet.
"Thanks, bye," I turned around and started marching away from him.
"Carlie," he called out and I turned around.
"Yes," I was watching his expression change to a smirk.
"I noticed you weren't wearing gloves," he said.
"It's a fashion thing," I called stepping backwards and smiling. I bloody forgot to wear the gloves when I went out, good thing I didn't touch anybody or they wold think they're getting crazy hallucinations.
"Yeah, thought so, but the real thing I was going to tell you is not to go through woods like that again," his face was serious and angry. Jakob was looking at me and somehow I couldn't not obey.
"Okay," I said and I meant it. Then he broke out in to a smile and turned his back to me walking back in to the forest.
"See you on Monday," he called waving and jogging in to the forest, I turned and slowly walked back to my house. Smiling in the inside, for who knows what kinda reason.
Later at the evening before I was going to go to Tamia's party my phone rang flashing Seth's picture on the screen.
"Welllll, I heard the big news," I giggled in to the phone. Seth was always such a cheerful person and his answer was making him glow from the other end of the phone.
"Emmett told you," he said it as an statement not as a question. He sounded smug, like he was going to blow up from the happiness
"Yes, I also heard what I was going to have to do," I smiled myself, happy about him and Lilith.
"Yes, yes, If it's not a bother."
"Of course not!" I exclaimed happily. I was more than happy to make their house shine.
"Oh, and Seth?" I began the important thing I had wanted to ask.
"Yeah," Seth answered casually.
"Do you know a guy named Jacob Blacke?" I asked rushing it out, there was a big chance he might know Jacob, but then again Seth wasn't from the only shape shifter pack in the world.
There was a silence on the phone and it confirmed my worries.
"He's in California," again that was a statement, and I found myself freezing at his answer. He knew Jacob.
"Seth?" I asked not sure of where to go on.
"You figured out," a statement.
"I don't think he knows about me thought," I had sat down, scared of knowing how nasty a shape shifter can be, especially if he's from LaPush and had a bone to pick with my family.
"He won't unless you give him hints, but better don't," he was quiet again and I was starting to worry about what he was going to say next.
"Ren, has he looked at you in a strange way?" his question puzzled me so much that I didn't know how to answer. In what way?
"I don't know how to answer that," I really didn't.
"OK, listen here, remember the guy who liked your mother, well that's him. Do you have his number?" I was stunned by what he just said. Jacob was the guy who had tried to separate my parents, the guy who had wanted me dead even till the moment my parents had known I would be a good little baby. He was the man who had wanted to kill my father. HE …
I smashed the TV in half, but it still didn't calm me, maybe a few trees would do...
"Renesmee listen here, if you don't answer me this instant I'm going to tell your father everything, he's going to go get you out of California in a flash of eye," he broke my line of anger and snapped me back to reality. I looked at the TV which looked like it got rolled over my a tank.
"No," I answered to him.
"I thought so, you want to live your two years there don't you?" he waited for my response.
"Yes," I said slowly and quietly.
"Then don't let the guy find out you're a Cullen, he'll rip you to shreds," he was serious, all the happiness gone from him.
"OK, and no I don't have his number."
"When you get it, immediately give it to me. He didn't leave anything for us to contact him, but if I get a one small talk I could at least know if he's a threat to you," he sounded weird, like he was hiding something from me.
"I will, but what do you mean by a threat to me, how can he not be. What is he on vamp diet or something?" I pondered on the idea, but remembered how he had almost bitted my foot of. No diet for him then.
"It's serious Ren," he didn't even laugh at my poor attempt to lighten his mood back on.
"I know." I looked at the clock, "I have to go now, and also you couldn't contact my father, he's on a honeymoon."
"Emmett would have done fine," his tone held that lightness again, "remember the phone."
"Yes, bye." I said and hung up calling Sofia again, but of course she didn't pick up, she knew everything.
I fell back in the sofa thinking about Blacke. I knew I had a crush on him, but now I just had a pure hatred towards him, knowing what he had done to my family.
A/N Wow a big chapter. I hope that clears a lot of things for you.
So sorry for mistakes, I try my best.
Tell me what you liked, didn't, want.
Annie
