Author's note: Hi guys some of you have been asking if Bella is dead or not, so I just want to clarify that I haven't killed her off as you remember it takes 3 days for the venom to work its magic. So she will be making a come back, just not for a while. And as for the Cullen's all shall be revealed in time.

Chapter 3

It had been nearly 16 years since the horrific war between the Cullen's and the wolves broke out, 16 years since Rosalie had runaway with Renesmee with no word from their family and no way of knowing if anyone had survived. Each day that past by Rosalie had prayed to the lord above that her family were ok, that they could somehow have survived the attack.

Over the years she and Renesmee had basically travelled across the cotenant. They had been from California to Texas, Australia, Paris, Japan, New York and so on. They had settled down in some places when Rosalie was sure they were completely safe.

You see when Renesmee was 11 years old word had somehow gotten round to the Volturi that Bella had given birth to Edward's baby and now they were hell bent on getting their filthy hands on Renesmee. Rosalie had only found this information out after she came into contact with Vladimir and Stefan whom were once kings of all vampires, but were dethroned by the Volturi.

They had told Rosalie that they had caught word of a newborn child being born into the Cullen clan that the Volturi thought to be an immortal baby. It was known in the vampire world that immortal children were a danger, as they had absolutely no control of their thirst at such a young age. The Denali's had lost their mother centuries ago because she had given her 3 year old infant immortality, and in doing so the child had slaughtered an entire village. The Volturi had taken matters into their own hands by ridding of the child and his mother, so to say the family had paid a fine price was an understatement.

Rosalie had proven to the Transylvanians that Renesmee had never been bitten as she was growing at a rapid pace, she could eat, sleep and most importantly had a heartbeat. Using her gift Renesmee had shown both men her life right from the beginning including the war.

Vladimir and Stefan had been shocked by the true revelation, as they had never heard of such a thing before. A human had not only conceived Renesmee, but the young girl had also been procreated from a Cold One. As far as they were aware their kind could not have children, no way no how, yet Renesmee was the proof that such a thing could happen and how she came to be was a miracle by itself.

Now the Transylvanians vamps were known to be nothing but arrogant savages among their world, but to Rosalie Vladimir was not all that bad as he was just misunderstood. He had once been a peaceful happy man with his wife at his side, but that had all changed when the Volturi attacked his and Stefan's castle where they tortured and killed his mate in the burning wreck of what used to be their home.

Rosalie had gained their trust in the short time Vladimir and Stefan bonded with Renesmee as she had become great friends with them, and in doing so they had both promised to protect the girls from the Volturi no matter what it took.

It was amazing how Renesmee could warm the coldest of hearts without even trying, it just made Rosalie love her even more. From then on they hadn't any trouble living their lives in peace as Vladimir and Stefan had them covered.

Renesmee had grown up beautifully into such a lovely young lady, she was smart beyond her years, was extremely kind, caring and brave. Living up to Edward's promise Rosalie had never stopped telling Renesmee about her mother and father and how their love story came to be. She had given Renesmee a beautiful framed photo of her family for her 4th birthday so she could keep them close even if she couldn't have the real thing. The little girl had loved it and thanked Rosalie for such special gift. Each night before she went to bed Renesmee prayed a silent prayer that her mother and father would come back to her one-day so they could be a proper family again before giving the picture a little kiss.

Rosalie hated herself inside and out because she had not told Renesmee the truth of what had really happened to her parents to protect the girl she saw as her own daughter. She couldn't bring herself to reveal the truth as it was just too cruel and would without a doubt crush poor Renesmee's soul.

One day during their three week stay in New Orleans Renesmee had accidentally gotten herself lost whilst going hunting and ended up in a grave yard where she spotted a middle aged man straddling a young girl no older than herself on the floor whilst trying to rip her clothes off as the girl cried out in terror. Renesmee had promised Rosalie she wouldn't do anything to expose herself, but at that moment in time all rational thought went out the window as she had used her vampire strength to rip the man from the young girl and threw him right smack bulls eye into a tomb stone where he had hit his head pretty damn hard and lost consciousness.

Renesmee had then checked the girl over to see if she had any wounds and offered to take her to hospital, but the girl had refused to go any where near doctors and said she just wanted to go home. So Renesmee being the good samaritan she was had walked the scared girl back home and on the way they had both swapped stories. Turned out the girls name was Davina whom was 12 years old, she had runaway from her family because they did not accept her for who she was and met up with a man called Marcel who she had found a close friend and protector in and had also given her a place to live.

Surprisingly Renesmee found out Davina lived in a church since her runaway, which was strange yet understandable as a church was a place of sanctuary where anyone could feel safe. As soon as they arrived at the church the man Davina had identified as Marcel had hugged the girl worriedly and questioned where she had been.

Davina went on to telling him the story of how she had gone for a walk and had been attacked by some random guy who had dragged her into the graveyard and nearly raped her, had it not been for Renesmee being at the right place at the right time.

Marcel being ever so grateful had told Renesmee that he was in her debt for saving someone who was like a younger sister to him. Though he had questioned how a girl at 14 years old could have took down a grown man all by herself. Renesmee had told them it was probably just adrenaline rush, not that he believed her as he could tell there was something different about the young girl the minute he first laid eyes on her.

The next day Renesmee had explained to Rosalie what had occurred the night before with Davina in the cemetery. Rosalie had been angry at Renesmee for travelling round on her own and nearly exposing herself, but at the same time was so proud that her niece/daughter had done the right thing by saving a young innocent girl from a rapist as she knew all to well what it felt like to have a life ruined by such an experience.

During the rest of her stay in the strange town yet lively town Renesmee and Davina had become the best of friends who shared everything about their lives, including their secrets. Yes Renesmee had told Davina what she was, but only after Davina had told her that she was in fact a witch, a very powerful witch who had come into her powers at the age of 10. And also that Marcel was a vampire as were most of the people in New Orleans, but unlike Renesmee's kind he was a whole other species of vampires.

Davina had explained that her family did not approve of her having such abnormal powers above their own and wanted to do some sort of spell to banish the power she held. Davina had already been scared enough of being a witch, but the fact that her family had turned against her was a whole other level. It was the very reason that had caused her to runaway and hadn't been in contact with her family ever since.

Renesmee's heart broke for her friend as she couldn't believe how cruel Davina's family were. How could they have thought about stripping the young girl of her powers when she was already scared witless of what she was? Davina had only wanted to understand the ways of becoming a witch, but she'd had to learn all by herself. Well now she wasn't alone, now she had Marcel and Renesmee at her side to support her no matter what.

Davina had promised Renesmee that she would never reveal her best friends secret, not even to Marcel, which just proved that her connection with Renesmee was much stronger than her one with Marcel. Renesmee was every bit of the sister she'd always wanted, vampire or not Davina didn't care because for the first time in her life someone besides Marcel loved and accepted her for who she was.

It wasn't long till Marcel finally figured out just what Renesmee was as he had one of his people follow her around encase she was a threat to Davina. The only thing he'd learned during the first few weeks was that she and her mother or aunt whom was a bit of a hermit and beyond sexy as his friend put it had only just moved into town but wouldn't be staying that long. Renesmee was quite the explorer, was well behaved and spent alot of time with Davina.

Marcel basically had nothing on the girl, which had annoyed him because he knew Renesmee was hiding something and there were no secrets in his town, not ever. He had questioned Davina if she knew anything about the new girl since they both hung out so much, but he had gotten quite the shock when Davina had told him to leave Renesmee alone or else.

At that point Marcel knew something wasn't right and demanded more of his people keep track of Renesmee 24 hour's a day everyday. But still he didn't get any results, until one day when he finally hit pay dirt. Apparently one of his people had witnessed Renesmee and her mother feeding off a couple of animals in the woods moving at inhuman speed, but the thing that really hit home was when he heard that the mother was sparkling in the sunlight. They were Cold Ones!

That very same day Marcel rounded up all his followers from nightwalkers to day walkers to arrange a post meat slaughter for the two Cold One's that had intruded into his town. Unfortunately though Renesmee and Rosalie had skipped town that very same day after a quick warning from Davina who had told them of Marcel's plans.

Renesmee felt beyond lucky to have such a loyal friend like Davina, she had saved their lives by going behind Marcel's back, even though he meant alot to Davina she still did it anyway and that was something neither Renesmee or Rosalie would ever forget.

Before they left though Davina had given them two special parting gifts. One being a beautiful charm bracelet for Renesmee that said 'Forever Family', which Davina had placed a protection spell on to keep Renesmee safe. And the other being a ring for Rosalie that Davina had spelled to keep the vampiress from sparkling in the sun and give her human features.

Renesmee had not only cried for the fact that the beautiful gifts meant simply everything to them, but also because deep down Renesmee knew she may never see her friend again. Davina was the most special friend she'd ever had close to a little sister and it broke her heart to have to say goodbye so soon, especially when the young girl had brokenly wept in her arms.

So after an emotional farewell Rosalie and Renesmee had high tailed it from New Orleans whilst Davina bought them time and the two hadn't looked back ever since.

Two years on Renesmee and Rosalie had moved to a town called Mystic Fall's, a town which was quite homecoming and peaceful enough to settle down. Rosalie had gotten a job at a beauty parlour and Renesmee had started school, much to her excitement as she had practically been home schooled her whole life and had been dying to get a proper education.

Over their stay Renesmee had found Mystic Fall's to be a wondrous yet very historical place, which was why Renesmee had gotten herself round to uncover new stories everyday. It was kind of like her own little project, if she was going to be living in Mystic Fall's she wanted to know it for all its mystery's.

Months flew by and through that time Renesmee had narrowed the people she had met down to two lists. One being 'the faithful' and the other being the 'gouge your eyes out kind'.

In the faithful list was Alaric Saltzman, a friendly teacher. Bonnie Bennet, witchy friend. Jeremy Gilbert, homework buddy. Jenna Gilbert, loving neighbour. Matt Donovan, the best friend and Stefan Salvatore, the older brother material.

In the other crap list was Damon Salvatore, huge asshole. Tyler Lockwood, cheating obnoxious boyfriend. Carol Lockwood a.k.a yap all day woman. Caroline Forbes, princess perfect. Elena Gilbert, bitch. Jonathan Gilbert, dead man walking and Katherine Pierce, a crazy murdering bitch.

So to say Renesmee had really gotten to know the people in town was the understatement of the year. Ever since Damon Salvatore had stepped foot in town things had gone from bad to worse as there had been constant murders, vampires popping up from left to right and threats were being passed around. Basically it was a disaster.

Non of the Mystic Fall's crew knew of Renesmee's knowledge of witch's and vampires as she had decided to keep that to herself because she knew full well that they would just jump to conclusions.

Rosalie had proposed that they move out of town, but Renesmee had refused to move as she loved it in Mystic Fall's and said they shouldn't have to move because the catastrophic occurrences had nothing to do with them. Renesmee had a feeling that her friends knew more about what was going than she did, but it was no business of her own. She stuck to her own life.

A month later Renesmee had been introduced to an old friend of her grandfather Carlisle's who had moved into town, his name was Elijah Mikaelson. She had arrived back from school one day to find him and Rosalie sat chatting in the living room.

Renesmee found Elijah to be a very handsome noble sweet but mysterious man. She had found out he was over a thousand years old, which had nearly given Renesmee herself a heart attack at how old he was. Instead of being scared she had found herself to be more intrigued by Elijah as he had been around for centuries and had basically walked through history. He had told her of his human life, his family, how he came to be a vampire and of his travels. Renesmee couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor man as he seemed quite lonely for someone who held so much pride on his shoulders. It didn't take a genius to know he was still hurting over loosing his family and being betrayed by the two Petrova women he had loved.

She also felt envious for his brother Klaus who also seemed like he covered up his humanity by hiding behind a mask. It was no wonder though because his father had abused him and his mother both lied and betrayed him, which had basically pushed him into becoming the monster people took him for today. He took out his pain on others because that's what he knew best. Now Elijah wanted to kill him because his brother had killed their siblings. She didn't know why but at the thought of Elijah murdering Klaus made Renesmee's heart hurt like hell. Klaus may have been wrong for the pain he had caused others, but he wasn't a monster. Just misunderstood.

Present Time

Renesmee was at this moment sat in the Mystic Grill talking to Bonnie who was mourning the loss of her former boyfriend Luka,the high school teen had recently died a tragic death along with his father whom had fallen down some stairs and snapped his neck. Though Renesmee knew there was a bigger picture going on with their deaths, but she didn't bother to ask questions.

Renesmee's POV

"Are you gonna be ok?" I asked Bonnie sympathetically.

"I'll be fine, to be honest we weren't really that close. I mean I thought he was perfect, but it turned out he was just using me for my power" Bonnie said with a sad expression.

"But you still cared for him non the less" I said knowing that she was trying to cover up the pain she was feeling.

"It's just…he was first person I'd really connected with since my Grams. Someone who other than my friends knew exactly what I was going through" Bonnie said as I knew how much she missed her grandmother, who had also been a witch but passed away in her sleep.

Bonnie had told of how she'd been born from a long line of witches, how her grams had used an obscene amount of power for a certain spell and given her old age it had been too much and ended up killing her. It was really heart breaking because Sheila had been such a sweet woman and always treated me like family, she didn't deserve what had happened to her. Not. At. All.

"I had this really great friend once, and like you she felt alone and scared because the people she loved had either betrayed her or left her. She felt as though there was none in the world who could understand her, that is until the two of us met and everything changed for the better. She was the first true friend I'd ever had before. Everything was going great, but then her guardian went hay wall and ran me and my aunt out of town" I said remembering Davina's face as we had drove away from New Orleans.

"Why?" Bonnie asked.

I hadn't told anyone about Rosalie and I being vampires because honestly I was afraid of something terrible happening like the last time. Nobody but Elijah knew about us, and even he wouldn't rat on us because he too was a loyal friend.

"Because of me. Because he had somehow gotten this impression that I was bad for his sisters life and did everything he could to keep us apart. And that was only two years ago" I said trying to fight back tears.

"Do you miss her?" Bonnie asked.

"Everyday. But the point I'm trying to get at Bonnie is this. No matter what you go through or what you think…you are never alone. No matter how much life gets you down there will always be some there to care about you. Witch or no witch" I said as we both giggled at the last part.

"Someone get me a tissue I think I'm gonna cry" said a voice from behind me as I smirked.

"You heard the gay boy Bonnie get him a tissue before he drowns us all in his tears" I said as Bonnie laughed at this.

"Hey! I'm not gay" Jeremy said as he sat himself beside us.

"Could have fooled me with your closeness to Alaric lately, especially all that private practice you two seemed to be doing in the woods" I said as Bonnie spat out her drink and broke into laughter once again.

"Aaaaahhh! What the hell? You're disgusting!" Jeremy almost yelled with a scrunched up disgusted expression.

"Hey I'm not judging I just think you two should be a little more careful with this whole teacher with benefits thing going on" I said as Bonnie was dying from laughter at this point.

"I'M NOT GAY!" he bellowed out causing everyone in the bar to turn his or her heads in his direction. Bonnie and I laughed as we saw Jeremy turn red in the face from embarrassment.

"Ok so your not gay no need to tell it to the world Jer" I teased him.

"I. Hate. You" he said separating each word.

"You say that now but we both know you'll love me again before the days out" I said giving his cheek a little pinch before he smacked my hand away.

"That's just wishful thinking" Jeremy said as I shrugged my shoulders.

"Not really because without me you'd be playing video games every night instead of acing your homework" I said stating a fact.

"She does have a point Jer" Bonnie said.

"What is this gang up on Jeremy day?" Jeremy asked whilst pouting.

"Hmmm Yep" Bonnie and I said in unison as the two of us laughed at Jeremy's sour puss face before he then joined in on our laughter. I spotted Matt serving a table and gave him a wave as he saw me and waved back.

"So you guys still coming tonight?" Jeremy asked as he had invited Bonnie, Matt and I to his house for a movie night, though I thanked god Elena wouldn't be there as I could not stand her company.

"You bet" I said.

"Of course" Bonnie said giving Jer a smile, which I noticed had quite the affect on him. The lovesick puppy.

"Cool, Jenna will be out on the town with that news reporter chick so we'll have the house to ourselves" Jeremy some what announced.

"That's where your wrong Gilbert" 'oh god' I thought to myself as the three of us turned to see Damon approaching us.

"What do you mean?" Jeremy asked as Damon sat himself beside us.

"I mean that seeing as I'm on baby sitting duty I'll be watching the kids tonight" Damon said throwing me a wink. Ugh.

"Baby sitting? Since when?" Jeremy asked looking just as confused as I was.

"Since your sister practically begged me too and I promised to watch you like a hawk until she and my brother return from their romantic vacation" Damon said rolling his eyes at the last bit.

"I don't need anyone to look after me Damon I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself" Jeremy snapped back.

"Yeah well get over it because like it or not its happening. Which means I shall be joining in on your little festivity tonight" Damon said with a smug grin.

"Err what?" Bonnie asked looking confused.

"Yeah what she said. What?" I said hoping to god he was not serious.

"Well I wouldn't be a very good baby sitter if I didn't keep a proper close eye on baby Gilbert now would I? Kids these days can be quite rebellious and get up to any sort of trouble" Damon joked truly thinking he was a funny smart man but really he was nothing more than demonic moron who enjoyed toying with people.

"You're not coming over tonight Damon and that's a fact" Jeremy said putting his foot down.

"What's a fact Jeremy is that I have been given strict orders to keep your punk ass in line on your sister's behalf so like it or not I'm in charge. Got it?" Damon said as the three of us sneered at him in complete and utter annoyance. If looks could kill Damon Salvatore would be my first victim.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a friend of mine sat at the bar looking our way, though her concentration seemed to be on Damon. To say she was ticked off was putting it too lightly as she was almost burning holes in the vamps back. Just then an idea popped up in my head.

"What's the point guys? Were not gonna win this fight. Damon always gets is way in the end, so why bother?" I said pretending to sulk as Jer and Bonnie turned to me in shock, but I gave them a look that told them to go along with it.

"Yeah, what Cullen said" Damon said smirking in satisfaction thinking that he had won, but unaware that I had a trick or two up my sleeve.

"Looks like you have a fan" I said to Damon as he looked confused for a minute before following my gaze and locking eyes on the angry blonde woman. I then heard him groan before excusing himself to walk over to my friend, leaving the three of us alone once more.

I took notice of how mad Jeremy and Bonnie looked as they were giving me a 'what the hell' look, but before any of them could talk I put my hands up and mouthed for the three of us to go outside as I wanted to be out of range of Damon's vampire hearing.

Leaving the Grill I lead them across the road and past the parking lot until I knew we were a good distance away before turning to them.

"Ok what's going on? Since when did you start giving into Damon's demands?" Bonnie asked in confusion.

"I haven't" I said plain and simple.

"Then what was that back there?" Jeremy asked.

"Lets just say that Damon is complete gullible idiot" I said whilst smirking.

"What do you mean?" Bonnie asked.

"Did you see that woman at the bar staring at Damon?" I asked the two as they both nodded.

"Well she just so happens to be a very good friend of mine" I said preparing to tell them the plan I had concocted in my head.

"Sooooo…" Jeremy said dragging the word.

"Did I mention that she's a friend who I recently found out is a vampire?" I asked lying my ass off as I raised my hands before they could interrupt. "And before you start asking yes I know its crazy but my friend is actually a vampire, but you can't say they don't exist because witch's do so why not?" I asked.

"You know a vampire?" Bonnie asked with a confused expression as she and Jeremy gave each other a look.

"Yes I do, but more on that later. Back to the point though my friend just so happens to have met Damon before and suffice to say she hates his guts. She said that if I ever needed her help with anything (including Damon especially) I need ask" I said as they waited for me to carry on. "In conclusion I'm going to call in a favour" I said with a wicked grin.

"What kind of favour?" Bonnie asked.

"Oh just one that involves Damon having to cancel his so called baby sitting duty because he's too busy having his ass handed to him on a platter" I said.

"Tell me more" Jeremy and Bonnie said in unison with evil grins on their faces.

I told them how I was going to tell my friend that Damon had been harassing my aunt Rosalie twenty-four seven because he was trying to get her into bed and was now doing the same to me, only worse. Ok so I maybe going a little over my head with this plan, but nobody could say that Damon didn't deserve whatever he got because lets face it…he's a dick.

"You can totally count me in" Jeremy said chuckling.

"Me too, but do you think it'll work?" Bonnie asked.

"Trust me I have no doubt in my mind that it will. If my friend hates Damon as much as she says she does this plan will go off without a hitch" I said assuring her.

"You kind of almost feel bad for the guy" Bonnie said as Jeremy shrugged his shoulders.

"Well put it this way, would you rather have Damon bothering us all night long or have him get a beat down off someone who has no problem stripping him of his precious ego?" I asked with my eyebrows raised.

"The second option sounds just perfect to me" Bonnie said as the three of us then confirmed the plan before Jeremy went back to the grill to fill Matt in, whilst I text my friend and told her everything. She then called me back and told me not to worry and that she would handle things from here on in. After that Bonnie and I went to get some groceries in for out little fiesta and at the same time I had called my aunt Rosalie to ask her if it would be ok for me to hang out with my friends tonight, which she was totally cool with it as she had planned to go hunting tonight anyway.

Afterward we dropped the shopping off at my house before Bonnie left to for the cemetery to pay a final respect to Luka and his father, in which I offered my company but she declined and said she'd be ok.

I had just finished putting the grocery's away and was about to head for a shower when I heard a knock at the door. Sighing I jogged back down the stairs and opened the door to reveal the last person I ever wanted to see. Tyler.

"Hey" he said with a slight smile.

"What are you doing here Tyler?" I asked kind of rudely, but he deserved it.

"I just wanted to come see you, we haven't had a chance to talk since…" he trailed off knowing exactly why we hadn't talked in a while.

"Since what Tyler? Since you broke my heart and made me feel like a complete idiot for actually believing you were different?" I asked raising my voice.

"I'm sorry, I know I screwed up..." I cut him off right there.

"No! You don't know, because if you did you would never have slept with Vicky Donovan, kissed Matt's mom or made a move on my aunt" I half yelled as that last part made me feel sick. He had tried to put the moves on aunt Rosalie a while ago, but she had nailed him right in his crown jewels and told him that if he ever dared to come near her again she would rip his organs out. Suffice to say he had learnt from that mistake.

"Ren I'm sorry. I know I've made a lot stupid mistakes but I never meant to hurt you, I swear" he said trying to plead with me.

"Yeah well guess what Tyler? You did" I said stating the obvious to my dumb witted ex.

"What can I do? How can I make it up to you?" he asked sounding a bit desperate.

"Well let's see…how about you start by getting off of my porch, away from my house and stay the hell away from me" I all but spat at Tyler as I went to shut the door in his face when he stopped it half way with his hand.

"Wait! Please just wait. Ren I miss you, I know I messed up but I can fix it. Just give me a chance to show you how sorry I am, how much I've changed" he begged but I didn't buy it. As the saying goes 'once a cheat always a cheat'.

"Do you think I'm stupid? I've seen the way you look at Caroline lately, it's the same way Stefan looks at Elena. Can you honestly tell me that if by some miracle that I gave you another chance that you feel nothing for her?" I asked him angrily as I noticed the dilemma in his eyes.

"I don't…Caroline's just a friend. I care for her, but not in the way I care for you Ren. Its you I want to be with" he pleaded again, but this time sounded as though he were trying to convince himself of his own words.

"Nice try Tyler, buts it's too late. You had your chance and threw it away. So if you'll excuse me I have more important things to be doing than talking to you. Oh but do give my condolences to Caroline, cause god knows she's gonna need it" I said before slamming the door shut this time and sighing in frustration. It was times like these when I wished I had never let my head rule over my heart, because it only made life more complicated.

Deciding to not let it get to me I ran up to my room to grab a change of clothes and underwear before hopping into the shower.

Rosalie's POV

I hate this. I hated having to lie to my niece over and over again, the guilt has been eating me up inside these past few years and it was only getting worse. I had told Renesmee I was going hunting tonight, but that wasn't all true as I was really doing something else.

I was meeting up with Vladimir as he apparently had new information for me. He and his brother Stefan had been watching the Volturi's every move since we last saw each other. They had spies lurking around Voltera castle pretending to be part of the guard, they kept tabs on their where about and slowly but carefully began killing each member or follower of the Volturi. This gave us an advantage because the sooner the high kings started loosing numbers the better it was for all of us.

I only prayed that it would be enough to keep Renesmee off the radar for as long as it could be helped.

Authors Note: So Rosalie's just full of secrets right now, she better hope she can bite her tongue when it comes to Renesmee or else. Who do you think Renesmee's friend is? Leave me your thoughts.

Other than a Renesmee/Klaus pairing in my story I'm planning a couple of other special pairings in this story. Rest assured Rosalie will not be getting with Elijah as I already have plans for him. Wink wink.
