Renesmee POV
I woke up with a dull pain in my right eye. I touched it and immediately winced. I didn't have a mirror in my room, but I knew that I had gotten a black eye. I sniffled and found that my nose didn't cooperate. Then, I realized that it was broken too.
I peered out of my left eye, searching for the bread and water. I found nothing.
"Where's my bread and water?" I asked aloud.
A cold laugh filled the shed. I looked around, finding no one.
"Who is it?" I asked, scared.
"It's me," a screechy voice said. It was Victoria. "There is no bread or water this week because you were bad. And, you're getting too fat."
I screamed in annoyance, my throat immediately burning afterwards. I squinted in the dim room, expecting to see Victoria standing over me, with her hand poised in front of my face. Instead, I saw nothing.
"Where are you?" I demanded.
She laughed again. "I installed a speaker in your room."
"Oh."
"I'm going to go get a refund from the photography agency because you messed up our chances of you getting into a magazine or something like that."
"Well, you can't control what I do," I said firmly, but my voice wavered.
"Yes I can. You are my new daughter, and I am your new mother," Victoria cackled.
"You are not my mother!" I yelled with all my might. My throat ached, but I ignored it.
"Renesmee, you have to realize that no matter how much you shout, no matter how much you cry, I will always be your mother."
I screamed loudly. Nothing happened.
"See?" Victoria said.
I heard a clatter, and then silence. I sighed. She must have left already.
"Mommy and Daddy, wherever you are, please help me!" I wailed, dropping to my knees on the cold cement.
Every part of my body felt stiff. I couldn't move my arm or leg, but I didn't care. Suddenly, an idea sprang to my mind.
"Mommy, Daddy, I'm coming for you." I walked the best I could to the door. When I reached the doorknob, I twisted it. The door didn't open. There was a note taped to the door. I squinted, but could only make out the word "and", "I", and the word "a".
I tore the note off and tried to make sense of it because it didn't seem like I was going to go anywhere soon.
Soon, I fell asleep.

The sound of the loud doorbell chiming woke me.
I rubbed my eyes. The doorbell never rang before.
I saw a shiny silver car parked out front. My heart leaped with joy, but I couldn't be sure. There were probably a ton of shiny silver cars in the world.
But, there was a thought nagging at me.
What if it was my Mommy and Daddy's car?
Victoria went outside to answer it. I saw a man and a woman on the porch. What if it is…?
The man and the woman started screaming at Victoria. Victoria screamed back. I didn't know what it was about.
I pressed my ear to the door and could make out a few words.
"How could you?" the woman screamed at Victoria.
"You abusive excuse for a parent!" the man yelled, clearly mad.
"I don't have any kids," Victoria answered.
The man and woman were going to say something back, but they didn't. They started saying something in a low voice that I couldn't hear.
"I told you, I don't know anybody named Renesmee!" she screeched.
My face paled. They were talking about me. Did that mean that it was…?
"She was ours!" the woman yelled loudly. "You don't deserve her!"
Victoria laughed coldly. "Get off of my property."
"No!" the man shouted at her.
"James!" Victoria yelled.
Get off, get off, I urged the man and woman. They seemed to get my mental message. I was surprised as they backed off.
Their eyes scanned all the windows of the ginormous house and then the backyard. Their eyes swept over me. The brown and the green were familiar. Almost too familiar. My eyes widened. I banged on the door, willing them to let me out.
"Mommy! Daddy!" I screamed.
Their eyes met mine. They looked shocked.
"Help me!" I screamed at the window.
They seemed to get my message. They were about to rush to me when James stepped out.
"You have to leave," James growled. My eyes widened in desperation. My mommy and daddy were out there. They were so close to me, but James had to stop them.
Tears started pouring down my face. I didn't ever want my mommy and daddy to leave.
Defeated, my mommy and daddy left for their car. But not before they looked at me again.
This time, I was sure that it was them. Daddy's hair was messy as usual and Mommy's brown hair was pretty as usual.
I sat down on my poor excuse for a bed and cried. I cried for a long time. My mommy and daddy were there and I couldn't get to them.
"Stop crying!" Victoria screeched from the speaker.
"SHUT UP!" I shouted to her. I was shocked at the bad word that came out of my mouth, but it seemed so right to say it to Victoria. After all, it was her who took me. It was her who hurt me.
I touched my nose.
"That's it!" she screamed. I heard something being slammed down. I was scared now.
I stood at the door, blocking Victoria from entering. Unfortunately, since I hadn't eaten since Saturday morning, I was weak and she instantly pushed the door open.
"Renesmee! You do not use that type of language with me!" she said before kicking me. I collapsed and she roughly shoved me aside with her foot.
"My mommy and daddy were so close!" I screamed at her.
"That was your mommy and daddy?" she asked, her eyes narrowing. She laughed. "You wish. They were telling me about how much they were glad that I adopted you. They told me that they were so happy that you were no longer a part of their lives. They told me what a burden you were. I agreed."
"You liar! I heard you guys!"
Victoria laughed again. "We were saying that to trick you. We knew that you were listening."
I didn't know what to say. I sank down. Maybe everything was a trick. Maybe Mommy and Daddy really didn't want me anymore.
