A/N: Sorry that I haven't updated this in a really long time. I have had some pretty big writer's block on this story. I was also busy with school.
Aria's POV
I was very confused as I felt Edward carrying me away at an impossible speed. I didn't understand why we were whipping through the forest faster than is humanly possible. I was confused by everything.
At the same time I was horrified with myself. What had gotten into me? Why did I drink all that blood?! Why did I even drink blood in the first place?! I'm a monster that's what I am! I am a monster! No normal person finds blood so appealing. I was going to kill that man. Just the thought of that made me shudder and also made the tears start following as realization of what a horrific person I truly am.
I felt Edward rub soothing circles on my back as he said "It's okay. It's okay" over and over again. I didn't get how he can be so calm and collected about this. How was he not afraid of me? I still didn't understand how he was running so fast as he carried me through the forest so fast.
"Don't worry. I promise that we'll explain everything" he said. This just created more questions than it answered. What did he mean by that? He'll explain what?
Soon I saw a mansion appear in the forest. At least that's exactly what it seemed like, a mansion. We entered the house where the rest of the Cullen family was waiting.
Everyone stood still for a very long time. It seemed like they were unsure of what to say. Or if they should say anything at all.
It was Carlisle who started "Aria-" he stopped for a second and took a deep breath before continuing. "There's something that you need to know" he said.
"What is it?" I asked. I was getting anxious now. My heart felt like it was going to thump straight through my chest.
"I think Edward and Bella should explain" he said.
"Um, okay" I said. I turned around and looked right at them. They seemed very nervous for some reason.
"Aria, there's no easy way to say this. It also might seem a little crazy, but you need to be opened minded" Edward said.
"Okay, I promise I'll be open minded" I said.
"Aria, you're real name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen. Bella and I are you're real parents" he said. I just stood there frozen in shock. No, there's no way they could be telling the truth. There teenagers for godsakes! They must be playing some sort of sick joke on me. Yeah, that's it! They are taking advantage of my vulnerable state and they are playing a really mean, really horrible practical joke on me.
"You're kidding me right?" I said. "There's no way that you two can be my real parents. You're teenagers, I'm not stupid you know" I said.
Their faces suddenly became very serious. "Aria, this isn't a joke. We are your real parents. We gave you up for adoption because some really bad guys tried to kill you when you were a baby. We gave you up for adoption because we felt that you were safer away from all of this" Bella said.
"What bad guys?" I asked. I didn't believe their story but I'd thought I'd just humor them anyways.
"Vampires. It was vampires. We are vampires too, and-" Edward paused for a moment before continuing "You're half vampire" he said.
The laughter that had been building up in my chest since this whole story started finally burst free. I was laughing so hard that I had to hold my sides because they were starting to hurt so much.
"Okay, seriously, the joke's over now" I said.
"Aria, this isn't a joke" Carlisle said.
"Yes, it is a joke. Vampires aren't real" I stated.
"Yes they are" Edward said. I was starting to feel really insulted now and I was not having that. I got up to leave.
"If this is your idea of a sick joke it isn't funny. It's downright insulting and I will not sit here and take this another minute" I said. I got up and once I was at the door I felt a cold hand grab me and turn me around.
"You're not leaving until you hear us out" Edward said.
"Get your hand off of me" I said with so much malice in my voice that I even scared myself. He refused to let go.
"Just let her go Edward. She'll be okay, Jacob will be watching" Bella said.
Edward rather reluctantly let go of me and watched me as I walked out the door.
I wasn't sure where I was going all I knew is that I needed to get out of there. What they said really bothered me. I felt like they were just playing with my feelings. I was a play thing to them, that's what I was. What really hurt was how they insulted my intelligence by saying that vampires were real. It was just downright hurtful. I thought they were my friends. Why did they do this to me?
I was walking around like this for awhile when something appeared right in front of me. When I looked I noticed that it was someone who was as pale as the Cullens, only this guy had red eyes.
"Young Renesmee, I finally found you, after years and years of searching I finally found you" he said.
"Who-who are you?" I asked my voice weak and stuttering from the fear that suddenly rose up inside me.
He took a step towards me and I took a step back. Everything about this guy screamed dangerous.
"Surely you remember me young Renesmee" he said.
I just nodded my head 'no'
"I'm Aro of the Volturi. Ring any bells?" he asked.
"You're the one who escaped me" he said.
"I don't rem-" I started saying before I tripped backwards and hit my really hard against a rock.
Suddenly I was transported back in time.
I was ripping my way out of my mother's stomach to get to the much needed air. The look on my mother's face when she first saw me. The way her blood tasted so good. The way my father's face looked when he saw me for the first time. I thought I'd never forget the glowing look on Jacob's face when he saw me for the first time. The joy everyone felt when they all saw me for the first time. When I saw my mother again for the second time, but this time it was forever. The joyous months that followed. The way that grandpa used to measure and weigh me several times a day. Then I remembered the day that aunt Alice had that vision of the Volturi. The gathering of the witnesses. Then the day the big confrontation came. A big battle ensued after that. The fear I felt when Aro almost killed me before daddy saved me. Jacob ran me as far away from the battle as he could. My parents finding us after that. From that moment on they were concerned about my safety. They started looking for humans to adopt me. I overheard a lot of my families conversations and how they wanted to erase my memory thinking it was better for me. Grandpa had said that it would make me more human if I didn't remember my vampire side . I was scared, and I didn't want to forget my family. I made sure that my family never knew I was listening to them.
Then the day came when they met the Davies. They had been really nice people back then. They even played with me for awhile. My parents and them came up with a contract. In exchange for taking care of me my family had decided to sign over most of their fortune to my new parents with only one other stipulation; I was entitled to that money too. Whenever I needed or wanted money they were to give it to me, they were not allowed to deny me access.
The deal was finalized and I was sent to live with them. That first night I knew my family was coming to give me the medicine that would erase my memory. I was scared and I was really sad. Then the next morning I couldn't remember anything. Every few months my family would come again and give me my medicine and I'd forget what happened the next morning. Gradually my new parents started treating me worse and worse, then they adopted more kids and would also treat them badly. I remembered the first time my father raped me and how awful and dirty I felt. I was the only one though. I got more and more miserable. I had thought about ending it all a few times, but I felt that there was something stopping me. I also drew strength from the fact that as soon as I turned 18 I would leave and never look back. Then the Cullens came to town.
The stinging pain in the back of my head brought me back to reality. As Aro sauntered forward me I knew this was it. I was going to die this time for sure. I could only hope that it would be quick and painless.
Then a loud growling noise caught my attention. Out of nowhere a giant russet colored wolf lunged straight at Aro. I instantly recognized Jacob's wolf form. He took down Aro with almost no effort. He ripped his head off and tore him apart limb from limb and completely destroyed him.
Jacob looked straight at me with a look of great concern on his face. "Jacob, I remember you. I remember everything" I said as I went and threw my arms around his huge neck. He looked at me stunned for a minute before tears the size of baseballs started rolling out of his eyes. I wiped them away as I kissed his snout. He left for a few seconds and returned human. He had a lit match in his hand and he threw it Aro's body.
"You remember Aria?" he asked.
"Yes, I do" I said. He went over to me and hugged me. "I missed you so much" he said.
"Aria, we'd better get back now. You have a nasty head wound that needs to be taken care of. Also, we need to tell everyone what happened. I have feeling we may have just started a more massive war" he said.
"Okay" I said. "and one more thing" I added.
He looked at me skeptically.
"It's Renesmee not Aria" I said. He smiled at me happily
