Getting closer to the ending my lovely readers, only the Epilogue left and then onto the sequel, Noon Sun.
Sunrise
(Renesmee's POV)
Goodbyes aways stink. Whether it's for forever, or if it's only for a month. Any type of goodbye sucks. Well, I should rephrase that...Most goodbyes suck. Some goodbyes could be good, like Lorenzo's goodbye.
In this case, my goodbyes mean I'll have to say goodbye to people I love dearly. I'm going to have to say goodbye to all the friends I made here in school. People who I'll never be able to see again because of what we are. Then there is my family, like the wolves and Grandpa Charlie, who I won't see for another few months or two. I won't be around the corner from them anymore, I'll be down south in a different country.
I'll miss going to school with Nikki, Richie, Irene, and Sarah. I'll miss seeing Miss Derek's bright smile. I'll miss playing house and chasing around whoever is the next cat. I'll miss everything.
But, I knew that I would had to say goodbye one day. They were all human. I am not. I am immortal. Even Grandpa Charlie is mortal and so are most of the wolf pack. Many of the wolves will stop aging so they can grow old and die with their imprints, and so they can start their own families. Sure, I'm not anticipating for those days to come, but I know one day I'll have to say goodbye for good.
The one thing I hate about being immortal is we have too many goodbyes.
"Goodbye Nessie," Irene told me as she went to hug me. I felt the tears stream down my face as I took one last look at my class over her shoulder. It was colorful and full of memories, something I'll remember for the rest of my life.
Momma and Daddy were at the school office right now to pick me up for the flight. They let me go to school this morning so I could say goodbye. They know I needed to tell my friends all goodbye one last time before we moved.
I told my human friends I was moving all the way to Florida. We did exchange emails, but that's all I could communicate by. Email or Phone. I couldn't see them ever again. I don't even think I can email or talk to them after a certain period.
"Bye Irene," I told her softly as we pull away from each other.
"Don't forget me," she added sadly.
"I won't," I said as I gave her one more hug. When we pulled away I smiled once more at her and watched as her hazel curls bounced up and down, just like mine. One of my favorite features about Irene will always be here brown-hazel curls. That's the one thing I'll never forget about her.
Sarah was up next to hug me, making sure it was tight. I chuckled, hugging her even tighter, but not tight enough to break her.
"I'll miss you Ness, make sure to keep in contact," Sarah said, crying.
"Don't worry, I'll email you guys once a week." I go to tightly hug my friend once more and reassure her everything's alright. "Make sure to be the best artist out there, okay?"
"Okay," she whispered as we pulled away. I then felt Nikki tackle me with a hug and I chuckle as she hugged me tight. Nikki wasn't one to express emotions like this. She was always the tough one out of the group.
"Take care Nessie, and if anyone ever gives you a tough time down there in Florida, make sure to tell me. I'll be right over there," she told me sternly. I smiled widely at my friend, bursting into giggles, before I hugged her one more time.
"I'll miss you, Nik," I said. She smiled as then Richie went to grab onto me.
"Ness! I'm gonna miss ya!" He cried out. I sadly chuckle as I go to hug onto him.
"Me too, Richie. Take care of yourself, will ya?" I said to him, placing both hands on his shoulders. He nods as he gives me one last hug. He then went to stand over by the rest of our friends. All stood together, looking at me with sad expressions on their faces as they watched me leave our class.
I take one last look at them before I begin to walk over towards Miss Derek at the door.
"Take care, Renesmee," she said as she knelt down to my height and gave me a gentle hug. "Have fun in Florida, and make sure not to forget your third grade class."
Miss Derek smiled brightly at me, even though she seemed a bit sad. I grinned as I gave her a watery smile.
"I won't, bye everyone!" I called out to my class.
"Bye Nessie!" They all called out to me as I turned the knob of the classroom door. I saw the faces of Irene, Nikki, Richie, and Sarah one last time and giving one last wave to Miss Derek before I then made my way to the office. I tried to keep a straight face on the whole walk there, but I couldn't help let a few tears leak out of the corners of my eyes. When I approached the office, and saw Momma and Daddy, I didn't waste time running to them. I ran right into Daddy's arms. He and Momma went to hush me as I softly cried.
"Shhh, baby girl. It's okay. Just cry it out," Momma whispered to me. I nodded as I burry myself in Daddy's chest and sob. I didn't want to say goodbye. It hurts. It really does hurt.
Daddy carried me all the way to the car, and the whole walk to the Volvo I took one last look at Forks Elementary School. I'll always remember this place. I'll miss it, but I'll remember.
I sniffled as Daddy placed me in my car seat with Momma. Once everyone is seated we head off in the car and drive up to our now pretty locked up barren home. There was still furniture in the house, but a lot of things like our toys, some of our summer clothes, and personal items were shipped down to the islands. Otherwise this home is pretty livable for when we come up to Forks for our vacations and holiday visits.
Even though it may have all those things, it's barren to me because we weren't living there anymore.
"Want to say goodbye to the house?" Momma asked me softly. "The others did it before and are at Grandpa Charlie's with the others."
I nodded at my parents. "I'd love to," I answered meekly.
I takemy mother's hand and we begin to walk amongst the halls. The tears hit my eyes as I saw Grandpa's office. The place were I took my first breath along with all the kids in my family. It was where I had my very first memory. The very first face I saw as I came into this world was my father as he lifted me from my mom's womb. It was where I saw my mother one last time as a human with the same brown eyes gazing at me. The next face I saw was my beautiful Aunt Rosalie, and then I saw my wolf Jacob in the room next door. That is were we imprinted.
I take a look in the yard to see the play set Uncle Emmett tried to build with the rest of the men in my family, only to be beaten by Aidan as he used his telekinesis to build it instead. I walked up the hallway and up to my daddy's room where we spent most of our time when Lorenzo was on the run. It's where Daddy hummed my lullaby to me for the very first time, and it's where he use to dance with me. All of his CDs were moved to our new home along with most of his stuff so this room was pretty barren except for the couch, T.V, and a few books. I took one last looks at Lily and Aidan's rooms.
That's when we reached the end and we now stood by Daddy's door.
"You want to go to the cottage now?" Momma asked me softly. I nod as she swings me on her back and we run towards the cottage.
When we get there I take a look at our home one last time. I took a close look at all the books I read, the rooms I played in with my parents, the memories I had before Lizzy or Masen or even Lily and Aidan were born. Memories of when the Volturi were threatening our family back when I was a baby.
I approached my bedroom last and saw it was pretty bare except for the furniture and covers. I slowly go to sit down on the bed and take one last look around. All my stuff animals were in Brazil along with my toys and books. It's in here memories of storytelling with my mother filled my head. It's where she consoled me before the Volturi came when I was a little girl and it's where she could whispered soothing words to me every time I had a nightmare about them.
Momma goes to sit down next to me as I look around the room and finally sobbed. She held me close as we sat in my childhood room. I know the islands were a place for us to start over again, but I'd miss it here. I love the islands and I really can't wait to live on them and just enjoy my childhood before it would escape my very grasp. As much as I love those islands, and as much as I love Isle Esme, they'll never be Forks.
Forks is, and always will be, my favorite place in the world.
"I know it's hard to let go, but we'll be back," Momma whispered as she rubbed my back. I buried my face in her chest and took in her sweet scent. "We'll come back to this home when we visit for the summers...I know saying goodbye hurts, but it isn't goodbye forever. I promise." I gave my mom a small smile as she goes to hold me tight. She then picks me up as I take one last look at my room. We then head out of the cottage one last time, making sure it was all boarded up and secure while we would be gone, and then we headed towards the main house where Daddy is.
Momma put me down as we all take one last look at the house. I being to head for the Volvo, but I noticed it's not there.
"Where's the-"
"In the garage, all locked up. We won't be needing many cars when we go to the islands," Daddy told me as he motioned at the clearly locked garage, mostly Aunt Rose's doing. "We have a few cars down there for when we do go out into the mainland, but that isn't going to be very often," he explained. I nodded and go to take both of my parent's hands.
They both walk with me for a bit and we take our time going up the main driveway. When we reach the top I take one last look at the home before we begin to run off towards Grandpa Charlie's home to say goodbye to the rest of my family. I had the chance to say goodbye to all the wolves down in La Push at a bonfire the other day with Jake. I had a good time, but Jake seemed a bit sad. I know it's because I'm leaving, and it doesn't hurt him as much as it once did, but it still hurts him. I know it. Even though he won't admit it, I can tell.
When we get to the house I look to see it was just Grandpa, Nana Sue, Seth, Leah, Billy, but Jake was nowhere to be seen. I frowned and got a bit nervous that I wouldn't say goodbye to my best friend. He promised me he'd say goodbye.
I look to see Seth hold Lizzy one last time as she cried softly in his arms. Momma went over to them and Seth carefully placed her in Momma's arms before kissing the top of her head.
I know Lizzy and Seth will meet again one day. They can't be apart forever, but they need something like this. I know it's going to kill them to be apart like it will with me and Jakey, but Seth needs to finish up with school and Lizzy needs to grow up.
We all need to grow up.
The others were all in the big car Grandpa Carlisle and Grandma Esme rented for us to take to the airport. Lily and Aidan were strapped in their seats and so was Masen. He looked pretty sad as he looked at our family.
When I spotted Grandpa Charlie, I didn't waste time running to him. When I reach him, he swings me up in the air and I go to hug tight to him. It stinks that he wouldn't be five minutes away anymore. It hurt, but I knew he and Sue would love to come up to our islands for vacation. They'll love it there. I know they will.
"I'll miss you Ness," Grandpa Charlie said tearfully. "Take care down there, and make sure to have the greatest time you possibly can. Okay?" I nodded as I squeezed tight to my grandpa.
"Promise," I said to him as we let go. I then go to hug Nanna Sue, Seth, Billy, and even Leah. Leah seemed like she was going to miss us too.
"We should get going soon," Daddy murmured to Momma as we finished up our goodbyes. I being to panic, seeing Jakey was nowhere to be seen.
"But what about Jakey!?" I cried out. "He needs to say goodbye! He just has to!" I wailed as I slump to the ground in tears. Momma goes to scoop me up from the ground. I hold tight to her and burry my face into the crook of her neck. She and Daddy try to calm me down as I sobbed, but I couldn't. I needed a goodbye from Jake.
"Ness?" I heard Jacob's voice out of the midst of my crying. I picked my head up from my mother's chest and looked to see him in the clearing by the woods. I didn't waste time rushing over into Jake's big warm arms. When I reached his arms he held me tight for the longest time.
"Sorry I'm late, Nessie," he finally whispered after what felt like a good ten minutes.
"It's s'okay," I sniffled as I pull my face out of the crook of his neck. I looked to see there were salty tears welding up in his eyes. I gently go to wipe them away as they rolled down his cheeks.
"I'll always be with you Jake," I whispered to him.
"I know." He chuckled as he planted a kiss on the top of my head. "I'll visit you soon, okay kiddo."
"Okay," I said to him. "Love you, Jake."
"Love you too, Ness," he said to me, brushing my curls back with his big firm hand. I hug him once more before he puts me down. I take one last look at him before I walk over to my parents. Momma looks at him and he nods at her.
"Bring her back to me, okay," Jacob said softly. Momma simply nodded at him.
"Jake, I'll never take her away from you. Got that," she said as she quickly went to give him a hug and a peck on the cheek. He smiled once more at her before Momma came back to me. My gaze with Jacob never left as I sat down in my seat in the car.
I look out the back window with the rest of the kids, watching everyone wave goodbye to us. I sadly smiled and waved back until we reached the open highway road that lead out of Forks. I made sure to look out the window the whole time so I could get one last visual of Forks. My head leaned against the cold glass car window as we passed all the green trees of Forks. There was now a fresh rain that was deciding to drizzle down upon us.
I lift my head away from the window and go to lean back against my seat when we start to near the end of Forks, but my gaze never leaves the window. Thoughts seemed to slowly rush out of my head as I watched the Forks scenery pass by me. Mostly they were about Jake. I know one day we'll be reunited, and that day was only a few months away. Something tells me Jake and I need this, even though I don't want to leave him, I need to grow up a bit and so did Jacob. I knew we would be together soon.
As I looked out the window my eyes widen when I see a familiar looking wolf run through the forest.
"Jake," I whispered as he ran with the car. I smiled as I looked at my best friend run with the car until the very tip of the town where the Welcome to Forks sign was. I waved at Jacob one last time and he responded with a howl he that echoed in the midst of the quiet town.
As I saw the Forks sign become a dot, so did Jacob. I turn around to face Momma. She smiled sadly at me as she reached out to take my hand in hers. I squeezed it and send her a smile as the car raced to the airport.
This is our new beginning. Our family was going to be happy on these islands, and I know that Jacob would be coming to visit us soon.
In no time we were at the airport again to take the private jet. I was now hugging Scout tight to my chest as we traveled through the airport. She reminds me so much of Jacob, and I really needed my little stuff animal right now.
"We just have to wait a couple of minutes," Grandpa explained to us as we waited at a terminal. I nod softly as I look at the floor. I kind of just wanted to be left alone for a bit.
I begin to walk along the window with Masen right behind me. We're both looking at all the flights landing. I decide to take a spot right next to a petite blonde girl at the window. Her face was pressed up against the glass as she stared at an airplane. She had to be at least twelve or thirteen. Her blonde curls were cascading down her back. They reminded me so much of Nikki's curls, but they were much more gold. They were even more gold than Goldie Lock's curls.
I noticed the young girl was fiddling with a silver chain in her hands. There was a small silver locket at the end with a violet pattern on it. It was beautiful piece of jewelry. I'm curious as to what's in the locket, but I go to turn my attention at the planes. That's where I begin to think about everything.
I really miss my friends. It's going to be hard without them. I know what I agreed to when I said yes to this move, and I know how good this will be for our family, but I can't help but feel sad that I'll never be able to see my human friends again or that I won't see Jakey in a good couple of months. I sound like a broken record and a worry wart when I think of these things excessively.
"Are you okay?" a small voice asked. I turn to see it's the girl with blonde hair. She has these piercing blue eyes. They have to be the most bluest and beautiful eyes I've ever seen right next to Lily and Gwen's. Her beauty definitely rivals Aunt Rose, even though my aunt is one of the most beautiful creatures on this planet, this young girl was nothing but pure beauty. "You look like you're sad."
"I just miss someone," I simply replied as I went to look out the window. The blonde haired girl mimicked me as we stared at the sky.
"I was visiting my dad and my family," the blonde haired girl told me as she placed her hand on the window to look at an upcoming plane. "He um lives over here. We live across the country and only get to see him once and awhile. I miss him a lot, but I like to think of the good times whenever I'm sad. It helps take away the bad...You know?"
"I think I do," I replied softly as I stare at the airplanes with her.
"Well, I know it's random, but I hope it helped you. That's what my mom tells me. It helps," She said, shyly. I noticed the blush tint her cheeks.
"It kind of did," I told the girl. "Thanks."
"No problem, I just felt like you needed help. You know?" I nodded as I leant against the glass.
"What's your name?" she asked me.
"I'm Nessie," I told her. "It's short for Renesmee."
"Renesmee. That's unique." She smiled. "I always wanted a unique name, but my mom picked something else completely boring. She says it's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl but, whatever."
"What is it?" I ask curiously.
"It's G-"
"Bumble Bee! Get over here!" a male called out to the young girl next to me. He had to be at least seventeen as he looked over at us. He had light brown hair but light blue eyes, just like his sister.
"Oh! That's my brother. I guess our plane is almost here. I have to go," she rambled as she went to leave the window. On the way down she stumbled a bit and almost landed at Masen's feet. She was lucky we were both there to grab her before she fell flat on her face.
"Oh my gosh! Sorry! Thanks for catching me," the blonde girl said as she went to pick up her knapsack. "I need to go. Um nice meeting you, Nessie!" She called out to me as she ran way towards the male who scooped her up in his arms.
"You too!" I yell out to her.
"Who was that?" Masen asked me curiously.
"I don't know. Some really nice girl." I shrugged, turning my attention back to the planes. In the corner of my eye I notice the silver sparkle of her chain on the seat.
"Oh no!" I gasped as I grabbed the necklace. "This was hers- wait!" I call out as I rush towards the gate the girl was headed to. I tried to reach it before she boarded the flight, but it was too late. The girl boarded the plane and it then took off into the gray Seattle sky. There was no way to give it back to her.
"Renesmee! Masen! Time to go!" My mother called out to us from across the room.
"So I guess you have something of this mysterious girl." Masen chuckled with me. Though I did notice the interest on his face as he looked at the locket.
"I guess I do...you want it?" I said to my brother.
"No, Nessie it's fine-"
"No. Keep it," I told him as I place it into his hands. He reluctantly sighs and goes to place it into his pocket, but I do notice he doesn't let go of the necklace the whole entire flight there.
And Masen would never let go of that necklace for another good couple of years.
We reached Brazil that day around the time when the sun rose up in the sky. We had just reached our home when I decided to climb up to the roof deck to watch the sun rise. The pink and purple colors stained the sky as I saw a shinning sun make it's way through the clouds.
As I sat down on the top deck I look to see Momma come to sit next to me with Daddy. Lizzy and Masen also made their way up as they sat down with me.
I was in between my parents on the little bench we had up there, and Lizzy was sitting next to my feet with Masen. I smiled at my siblings as I went to hold their hands.
For the rest of that morning I just watched the sunrise. I couldn't help but smile and think that in Forks right now Jacob was probably looking at the same sun as me.
We all just sat with one another as the sunrise, making it's way into the Brazil sky, indicated a new day for us. A new beginning.
A/N: Well? How do you guys like it? Btw, this isn't the last chapter. One more, and it's the Epilogue! From there we then go to the sequel, Noon Sun. Many of your questions and unexplained answers will slowly be revealed. Like the blonde little girl from the airport? Yeah, it's not the last we heard from her ;) I left a lot of things open for a reason!
Anyway, in the meantime, be on the lookout for the next update and please review :)
