Chapter 1: Reality

Nessie's POV

I was sleeping when I heard a loud noise. I woke up and started to scream when I saw horrific red eyes staring at me. He grabbed me and quickly covered my mouth with his hand. I tried to fight him but he was so much stronger than I was."Shh! Shh! Be quiet little one we would not want your dear family to find out that I'm here now wouldn't we.My family wasn't here. They were gone hunting and had left me with Jacob. But Jacob was asleep in the other room. He hadn't heard me scream.The vampire jumped out of my bedroom window and ran off with me. I was helpless to fight back.I sat up gasping for breath. I could hear a baby crying. I looked around and took in my surroundings. It was cold out and the sun had barely started to rise over the horizon. The sound from the cars above me was normal. The freeway above me offered minimal protection from the elements. Rain, snow, and heat. So it was my preferred place to sleep.

Crying once again caught my attention. I glanced down and saw one of my babies crying his eyes out. I picked him up and cradled him softly. His identical twin brother was still fast asleep beside me. It would'nt be long though before he woke up to.

Aiden needed a diaper change and he was hungry. I grabbed a clean diaper and some wipes that I'd stolen from Target yesterday. I got him cleaned and changed in no time. He didn't calm down though until he had latched onto my breast and started feeding.

I smiled at my two babies. Aiden and Owen. I had given birth to them exactly two months ago. I loved them more than I had ever loved anything or anyone in this world. I just wished that things were different. They deserved a lot more than I was able to offer them.

I'd been living on the streets since I was maybe five years old. I didn't have anyone to love me or take care of me. At least my babies had me. I would always love them.

Owen woke up and started to cry as well. He was hungry also. I had just started feeding him when I heard footsteps.

"Nessie!" Robert yelled so loud that he would've woken up the dead had it been possible. "You're awake and you're still here. Why is that?!"

Shit. I was in trouble. "Well I had to feed-" he yanked my babies away from me so hard that they started crying.

"Give me my babies," I said in a voice that was supposed to sound tough but came out very weak. This man has been intimidating since he first found me on these streets 12 years ago.

"Come back with more money today and I'll consider giving them back to you,"

A shiver that had nothing to do with the cold ran down my spine. Robert owed a lot of money to a drug lord named Rafael. If he didn't come up with the money he owed within the next few weeks he was a dead man. He relied on my friends and I to get that money for him. Yesterday he'd given me hell because I'd only managed to get about five hundred dollars.

He kicked me so hard that I doubled over in pain. "That's what you get for moving so slow,"

I got up as fast as I could despite the pain. I picked up my sign and ran as fast as I could to my usual spot where I begged for money.

It's been like this for as long as I could remember. Twelve years ago I'd woken up cold and alone here on the streets of Chicago with no memory of who I was or how I'd gotten there. I was wearing a bracelet that had the name Renesmee written on it and that was all.

I'd been living on the streets dumpster diving for food for a few months when Robert found me. He offered me a deal that I couldn't resist. If I did jobs for him he'd give me food in exchange.I didn't hesitate to agree.

Now he owned me. Whatever he needed me to do I did. I stole drugs, weapons, money...anything he needed. I wasn't the only one that 'worked' for him either. He'd found other homeless kids and made the same deal with them.

I stood there on the side of the street begging for several hours to hardly any avail. I'd only managed to scrape one hundred dollars and time was ticking. If I didn't go back soon with a lot of money there would be hell to pay.

So I had to resort to desperate measures. I had to steal the money. I knew exactly where to go. The mall. There would be an abundance of cars for me to choose from to break into. As long as there was no one around. I really didn't feel like outrunning anyone today. Something I was very good at. I was the fastest runner that I knew of. My speed has gotten me out of many scrapes before.

The parking lot was full of parked cars but one car in particular got my attention. It was a shiny new Volvo. I looked into the window and was surprised to see that someone had forgotten their wallet and left in the front. I tried to open the door hoping I'd get lucky but it was locked. I was going to have to break the window and fast.

I looked around and saw nothing I could use to break open the window. There was nothing. I was strong and knew that I could easily punch the window and the glass would shatter.

"Damn it!" I shouted when the glass cut my hand. I reached in and grabbed the wallet. I opened it up and to my luck found eight hundred dollars worth of cash in there. This Edward Cullen, as per the name on his Driver's License, must have been rich.

"Hey! What are you-"

I froze when I heard someone shout. I looked and the blood immediately drained from my face when I saw Edward Cullen standing a few feet away from me with a woman at his side.

"W-"

I ran like hell before he could finish talking. I'd already run a few blocks when I looked back and saw that they were still chasing after me. What the hell? Usually people gave up quickly. I continued to run as fast as my legs would carry me.

I didn't slow down until I glanced back and saw that the two inhumanely beautiful people were no longer following me.

As soon as I'd gotten back to the encampment I heard my babies crying nearby. I followed the sound and their cries led me to a dumpster. I grabbed them and quickly removed as much dirt and trash from them as I could.

"No so fast Nessie where is my money!" Robert shouted at me.

"Right here," I said as I tossed him the wallet that I'd stolen.

He opened it up and started counting. I tried my best to soothe my Aiden and Owen. My poor babies.

Suddenly I was hit hard from behind. I tried to shield my babies as I fell. "Only eight hundred dollars! I needed at least a thousand from you today!"

He kept kicking me and punching me. I shielded my babies as best as I could. I could feel myself going in and out of consciousness. The last thing I saw was Edward Cullen and that other girl storming over here with pure anger on their faces.

I heard a strange beeping sound. I opened up my eyes and found myself covered in bandages. My head was hurting from where I'd been kicked. I wasn't sure where I was. When I noticed the IV attached to my arm I realized I was in a hospital. Then I started to worry when I realized that my babies weren't with me. Where were they and how did I get here?

The door opened and a jaw dropping handsome doctor walked in. "Oh I'm glad to see that you're awake Renesmee. How are you feeling?"

"How do you know my name?"

"It was on the bracelet that you were wearing when my kids found you unconscious,"

Huh? I wasn't wearing a bracelet. Wait a minute. I was found unconscious? The last thing I remembered was getting beaten up. But if I had been found where were my babies?

"It's just Nessie. Who are you?"

He smiled at me kindly. "I'm Dr. Cullen. Now tell me. How are you feeling?"

"Okay. I guess," I'd feel a whole lot damn better if he told me where my babies were!

"My kids found you unconscious. Then they brought you here. It looks like you have a few cracked ribs and a concussion but you should make a full recovery in a few days. You just-"

"Dr. Cullen what about my babies? Are they okay?" I didn't mean to sound rude but I was worried.

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. That was not good. Not good at all. "Nessie what are you talking about?"

"My babies-"

"What babies?"

"My sons! When I was beaten up and knocked unconscious I had two month old identical twin boys with me! Where are they?!"

He looked taken aback. "Nessie you didn't have any babies with you. As a matter of fact it's impossible for you to have babies,"

What the hell was he talking about?!?! I knew damn well that I was capable of having babies!!! I had two month old twin boys so where were they?!?!?!

"Dr-"

He stood up quickly. "Nessie you hit your head really hard. I think you're imagining things. You need to rest and take it easy," he said very sternly.

"But-"

"Nessie not another word. I know what I'm talking about. You need to rest now,"

"But-"

He left without even listening to me. I was left worried sick wondering where in the world my only two reasons for existing were.
