Renesmee POV:
I was at Charlie's home with Seth getting ready to leave to my family's house. We never stayed at Charlie's for some reason. I never asked him why we couldn't just stay here? I mean I knew Charlie's schedule, Seth could come and leave without Charlie ever finding out, and the fact that I hear Charlie driving into the driveway so if he did come early i could heard Charlie coming and seek Seth out the back. But whatever I guess he just didn't want to risk it.
There was a quick knock on the door. We both looked at each other.
"Are you expecting someone?" He asked.
"Your the only person that knows where I stay, who could i be expecting?" I joked. But Seth seemed serious and he got into his protective mode when I told him. He's been like that lately. Serious and just protective. Extremely protective.
Seth has just been different with me. It's like he didn't want to be around me anymore. It was silent most of the time and he was always watching what he said, he was just distant with me. It made me wonder how long it would take him before getting bored of me.
The person at the door was just a mail man. Seth accepted the package.
"Package for Ms. Masen" Seth said. Walking toward me examining the package.
"For me?" I questioned. Seth placed the package in front of me. I opened the package while Seth hovered around me like it was going to explode or something. There was a card.
"I know at this point in time your probably wondering why we haven't contacted you back. We just want to make this easier for you but that doesn't mean we want you to forget about us- Love Always, Rose" i said reading the card a loud. I knew what Rosalie might. I knew that she had sneaked in the note. I took out all the paper that was on the surface and came across a fancy red box. With a gold lining around the box and with a gold outline of two butterflies with small diamonds on it then just a huge diamond on top and then I noticed other note tapped on the front side. I took the note.
*it's time for my little caterpillar to be come a beautiful strong butterfly. I hope you can find out who you want to be and hope you can ever forgive us for breaking our promise to you that we would be a family of forever* the note covered a the biggest butterfly on the box and i just stood there frozen looking at the fancy jewelry box that just sat on the kitchen table. Seth just looked at me because I wasn't moving or breathing just staring at the box. Seth took the box and my eyes followed. He looked at me and opened it. Then i saw our family portrait.
When i tried to breathe in, it was almost like there wasn't anymore in the air left for me to breathe.
"A family of forever" my dad's voice filled my ears.
"Forever a family" my family's voice filled my ears. I speeded to my room and fall on my bed and cried. Seth give me a moment a lone but then I heard him slowly coming and he took his time to get to my room. He sat on my bed and just sat there for another moment.
"Carlie, I know there's probably nothing I can say to make you feel better but your just gonna have to trust that they'll be back for you" he said so soft and gentle like it hurt him to see me hurt. I took my face out of my pillow and looked at him.
"They're not. Rosalie was never the to beat around the bush. This was her way of letting me know that they're just not coming back" i cried. He moved closer to me and put his warm hand on my left cheek and wiped my tears away. He just looked at me with sad eyes and then handed me a red necklace box.
"Open it" he said again soft and gentle. I shook my head and handed it back to him.
"Fine. I'll open it for you" he said. I grab my pillow and hugged it as I laid my head on it. I watched Seth opened it and showed me the gold that kinda looked ancient necklace. Seth noticed that it was a locket and opened it. He give a slight smile and tried to read me the description
"Plus De Not Propres Vies" i corrected.
"What does it mean?" Seth asked.
"It means 'More Then Our Own Lives'" i whispered to him as more tears came down my face. Seth handed me the locket and there was a picture of my dad looking at my mom, in love. The picture made me smile too.
"I think that's what your parents intended you do when you saw them" Seth told me.
"How can I be happy about them sacrificing their lives to save mine. They left alone"
Seth stood up then took a seat behind me. I could feel his warmth on my back and it made chills run down my whole body as his hand reached over to grab my necklace. I never realize how cold my body really was until I'm round Seth. He grabbed all my hair and put my necklace on.
"Your not alone, you have Charlie" he told me.
"And you'll always have me" he whispered. I turned around to look at him
"Don't say things you don't mean Seth"
"I mean it"
"Your a human. You can die at any moment. Yes I have you now... but not always" i whispered at him. Not even bothering to look him in the eye.
I didn't know how quick you could care for someone until I meet Seth. Charlie was different because he's family but Seth. Caring for this fragile human came easy to me. Before coming here, I couldn't even talk to a human now here I was caring and fearing the day this kid would die. I knew something about Seth was different but I couldn't make it out and i didn't want to. i didn't want to find a reason to stop hanging out with him.
We stayed in my bed. Seth laying on the other side as he watched with painful eyes as I cried. I never cried before I found out I was coming here and I remember how embarrassed and how I tried to hide my tears when I cried in front of Charlie but with Seth it was different. I felt comfortable... I felt safe.
Later That Day
I woke up and Seth was gone. It was around evening time and Charlie wasn't home. I noticed that Seth had put the package on my bed. I listened to my box for like an hour while held on to my locket. When i was going to throw the box away, I noticed that there was other red case. I opened it and it was like a picture frame the size of a laptop screen. I also noticed that there was a cord connected to it so I plugged it in. And the motion picture began like a slide show. The pictures were of all my pictures I had taken of us in last 10 years. Everyone was in this motion picture expect like mom. I guess that's what my locket was for so I could have at least one picture of her.
The loneliness was exactly what I needed to go completely insane. I went completely insane thinking about them being dead or them dying. And Nahuel not coming to get me and not even bothering to answer my calls. Reality was kicking in and it was kicking in around hard and all at once. I was alone, this is what my life would be like in 70 years or less after Seth dies. I couldn't take it anymore. The pain was just to much for me to handle anymore. I would rather be dead then having to spend eternity alone feeling guilty for my family's death, pushing Nahuel away, and fearing the day Charlie and Seth die and i would truly be felt alone.
I thought about going to Alaska to be with Tanya, Eleazar, Carmen, Kate and Garrett but I couldn't put them in the same situation as I did once before. I had to be alone. it was the only way I could keep everyone else alive. I had to get away from Charlie and Seth so their lives wouldn't be at risk once Caius knew that I was no longer under the protection of my family. Making him come searching for me, himslef. When the time came, i knew Caius would come, destroying everything and anything that got in his path, so I ran away. Charlie was better off without me. I ran as fast as I could as I hysterically cried. It started to get dark, making it harder for me to see and my crying didn't help. In fact it made me ran faster because my pain and my crying was my only reminder that this had to be done. I ran until my body became completely exhausted and my couldn't go any further and I pass out.
