Title: Never as They Seem

Chapter 14: Never as They Seem

(Nessie's POV)

I was pulling into my parent's driveway, not ready to be back here. I was glad that Jacob didn't ask to come this time. Only my mom and dad were home. The rest of the family must be busy.

Courage was the hardest thing to muster up right now. I guess now was better than never. Not to mention that I wanted to mention that I went into Uncle's room without him around to get infuriated.

Why was life so difficult?

I walked into the huge house, dropping my stuff down at the door. My parents didn't come down, which could only mean one thing. I started up the stairs.

"Mom." I said as I walked into my parent's room without knocking. It was always a risky thing to do but I had to ask now before Uncle got home.

Sure enough my parents were in their bed. They broke away from their kiss quickly, "Yes Renesmee? You know to knock before entering." My mom quickly said, fixing the strap to her tank top. I have walked in on worse, much worse.

"I know but I wanted to let you know I was home."

My mom raised her eyebrow, "That's not the reason you walked in on us. You never open the door without knocking. What's up?" She knew me too well.

"Well I have had a question."

"Shoot." My dad said.

"Who's Bella?" I asked sitting on the foot of their bed.

I never thought I would say this but both of them looked shocked. "Where did you hear that name baby?" she asked coming over to me and hugging me.

"I just want to know who she is."

My mom looked like she was hiding something.

"Please tell me."

My dad came over and put a hand on her shoulder, "I think it's time we told her."

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Tell me what?"

Dad let out an unneeded sigh and wrapped me in his arms. "Hun, before you came along. Your Uncle was in love with a human. Her name was Bella. She was funny and really really clumsy. None of us wanted her around at first but over time she grew on all of us. We started to come to terms that she would inevitably be one us."

"One of us? You mean a vampire?" I interrupted.

"Yes a vampire." He nodded, "But before the change, your uncle and she decided to go on a honeymoon after they were wed. At the time we thought no vampire could have a child. It was impossible. But like everything else, Edward and Bella proved us wrong and she came home pregnant. At first we were planning on getting rid of the child…"

"You mean kill it?" I asked shocked. "I could have had a cousin. Did the girl leave, wanting to have the child?"

My dad sighed, ignoring my last question, "Yes, kill it. We were afraid of it, much like anything else. We are afraid of what's new and unknown. But Bella wanted to keep that child; she was willing to give up her own life for it. Your mo…Rosalie helped her out throughout her pregnancy."

Talk about confusion, I had no clue where this was leading.

My mom sighed, "I helped her keep the child but in the end, it cost her, her own life."

"What happened to the baby?" I asked. According to what I know about pregnancies at one month- the child would die too but she was also really big for one month pregnant in the picture.

"That's where the story gets crazy." My mom said.

My dad nodded.

"What happened? Why don't I have a cousin?" I knew there was something I was missing.

Both looked like they were in pain, "I don't know how to tell you this." Mom said cupping my cheeks in her hands.

I put my hand on her wrists giving her my thoughts, 'Tell me' I thought to her giving her my pain and anticipation.

My mom looked like she was about to cry, I could tell she didn't want to tell me. "Are you sure you want to know? Once you know you will never be able to unlearn it."

"I'm ready to know everything about this family."

She took in an unneeded deep breath, "Renesmee Isabella Hale, your real name should have been Renesmee Carlie Cullen. We aren't your biological parents."

My heart skipped a beat. That's when all the pieces fell into place. This was why Uncle hated me, why I looked nothing like my parents, why I could have two vampire parents when I was told repeatedly that vampires couldn't have kids.

"NO!" I said as I started to tear up. I ripped away from my 'parents' and backed away, falling to the ground, "I was the cause or her death." I said. I looked up at them, hoping this was a dream, and then screamed, "I killed my biological mother."

"I knew it would be hard for you, and that's why I didn't want to tell you." My mother…or Rosalie said. I couldn't call her mom anymore.

"I can't live here anymore." I said. "I can't live in a place filled with lies. I want to go back to college now."

"You just got here."

"I don't care." I couldn't say anything else.

They looked at each other worriedly.

"I…I need to get away and think about this." Why was it so important for them to keep this a secret?

We heard the front door open; it was Uncle…or my biological dad. I didn't want to see him right now. I understood why he hated me now; I killed my mother and his wife. I was born a killer, a monster.

My dad…Emmett, then said, "Let's have Edward explain this to you." He said.

"There's nothing to explain." I said.

Uncle walked into the room most likely summoned by our thoughts.

"So she knows now?" he asked looking at the floor.

Hatred filled me, he was my real father and this whole time he allowed two others to take care of me. He hated me and never liked me; he was never there for my birthday parties. He was worse than a dead beat dad who didn't see his children at all. He was the dad that verbally beat his children. I ran at him about to punch but my 'father' stopped me.

"Stop this Renessme." My mom said, no matter how livid I was, they were still my mom and dad. I couldn't deny that.

"You jerk, you knew this whole time. You hated me. I always tried to get on your good side and you never let me in. You were supposed to be my father; instead you threw me away like a piece of stale bread. You never cared for me." I yelled at him, struggling in my father's arms.

He didn't say anything.

I glared at him as my breathing got heavy; I had to take a break to breathe. "I hate you." I muttered.

"Renesmee Isabella Hale take that back." My 'dad' demanded as he still held me four feet away from my target. He only used my full name if he was mad.

"No, I hate him." I spit in Uncle's face. This was a shot through the heart for me. How did he expect me to take it when I found out?

"Renesmee Isabella Hale, take back your words this instant." My 'mom' said in my face.

When she used my full name that meant I was in a lot of trouble. Compared to 'dad' using my full name, that had nothing to if 'mom' said my full name.

I was about to speak when Uncle spoke, "She can say what she wants, I don't blame her."

I stopped trying to attack him then. That was all he had to say? Dad still held a tight grip on me.

Uncle looked me in the eyes for the first time ever, "If you want to know my side, then come with me." He said.

I was shocked.

"Let her go." He told my father.

Dad complied and released me. I didn't attack Uncle though. He walked off, I followed close behind. I wanted to know why he hated me. I wanted to know the truth. The whole truth. Not the watered down version.

Guess it's true; some things are never as they seem.

I hope that chapter made up for the short one! =) You guys are amazing reviewers! I received eight reviews in one day which is awesome. I read your reviews and from what I got, a lot of you are saying that you want me to go with whatever story I had already written!

Hope you guys have an amazing week. I just found out that my boyfriend isn't coming to see me this week cuz of weather so I was a little upset. I half read this one due to that so I hope it's a good one.

If you got this into your email a second time, sorry. As I said in the statement above I read over this quickly before posting and was a little more than upset about everything going on in my life. I didn't realize that I had a slight mistake in here that was completely done by autopilot while I was writing.

Please let me know what you think of the chapter! Review!
