A/N: Annie's talking in bold.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'
After finding out my true power the vampires have been wary of me. They're very cautious around me. I could tell they over think about their actions and how they talk to me. I don't get why they're acting like that, I mean, I'm not going to hurt them. But Dracula one and Dracula two are coming close. They're annoyingly funny, but still annoying and they might just get what they want. I might just hurt them.
William has been acting strange, the other day when he past Alice's room he stood there and stared at her door. When I took a peak in his mind he was thinking about her. Who was she? How does she look like? Is she single? Taken? Why do I even care if she is or not? When he heard me laughing, he turned around and glared. Rolling his eyes he left the hallway and went with Garrett and Emmett to practice. Since finding out William's gift they want him to be on the front line to protect us. I know William is powerful and can take care of himself, but I still worry about him. Of course, I would worry about him he's my brother. Even if he doesn't want to admit it or not, in a way he's my father. Although it was a short amount of time, he raised me as a baby, took care of me, and he still protects me. Father... I wonder how Charlie is doing. Perhaps when night falls I'll go and visit him from afar. Hopefully, I won't come across Seth or even Leah.
Coming out of the house I see Renesmee sitting by a tree, sulking. Confused I walked over to her and stood in front of her.
"Can I sit with you?" She barely looks up but she nods. I sit down and she doesn't say anything. She draws on the ground and it seems that she drawing a rose.
"Do you like roses?" And once again she doesn't answer. Minutes past and still nothing. thinking she wanted to be alone I got up but stopped when she sighs.
"They were arguing about her... again," Renesmee said confusing me. I sit back down and waited until she decides to continue.
"My mom and dad. They were fighting about aunt Annie," she said drawing another rose.
"What about your aunt Annie?" why would they fight about me? What have I done?
"Dad doesn't believe she coming back. But I think he's afraid," she says not looking up.
"Afraid? Edward, he doesn't-" she cuts me off.
"Aunt Annie was his best friend. I see the way his eyes tear up whenever he stares at her photos or whenever someone mentions her," Renesmee stops drawing, looks up at the sky and sighs.
"I think he's afraid of believing because he doesn't want to get hurt when she doesn't come back," she says.
"But my mom she believes her sister is coming. She talks to her every night," Renesmee says turning to me and slightly smiles.
"Last night she talked to Aunt Annie and told her what's happening so she wouldn't be left out. Mommy misses her sister," she says. It became quiet, none of us talked.
"Do you think she's coming back?" I asked looking down at her drawing.
"If she does, can she make mommy and daddy happy? I don't want to be sad anymore," she says innocently. My heart broke on hearing those words. I wanted to tell her but I cannot. I feel like a fool, an idiot, I have them so close yet I'm so far.
"They'll all be happy again, I promise." I said tucking a piece of her hair behind her eyes.
"Do you have a sister? Besides William, do you have a sister?" she asked. But before I could reply Bella calls out to her daughter. We turn back seeing Bella, Jake, and Edward standing by the back door. Edward was staring at us with a frown.
"See you later?" she asked. I turned to her and nodded. She smiles before getting up and left me behind. Bella hugs her daughter and asked if she was ready to visit her grandpa. Renesmee nods and they all left but not before turning back to me.
"You could come out now," William comes out and sits next to me. I lean my head on his shoulder and sighed.
"You can't," he says.
"I know but it gets harder each day. I miss them," I say staring at the house. I missed being here with them.
"The time will come," he whispers wrapping his arm around me, pulling me close.
"What if they don't forgive?" I asked. That would hurt me more than anything. I have been deceiving them since the beginning. What will they say once they know it's been me all this time? What will happen when they see me. Will they forgive me? Will they hate me for lying this long? If they do I hope they can learn to forgive me.
"They're your family, Hazel. They'll always forgive you," he said.
"He'll know it's you," William said reassuring me. Deep down, way deep down, I don't believe that. What if he doesn't recognize me. Has he forgotten me already?
We didn't talk at all, we stood quietly staring out. We watched as the others trained in the backyard. Benjamin was using his gift as Kate was practicing with Garrett while the others watched.
"You know this family isn't that bad," William said randomly.
"I know," William chuckles.
"I could do this, annoy the hell out of Edward. I could do this," William whispers the last part. For more than 200 years William has been alone and this is the first time he has been around others. Before coming here, I asked him if would stay with me, with the Cullens. He said no because he's a lone wolf and now, he could do this. And I'm happy, I don't want him to be alone. I couldn't bear leaving him alone.
Late at night, Renesmee and the others come back and surprisingly she comes looking for me. She sees me on the couch and jumps on top of me, shocking us all.
"Renesmee that's not nice. You don't jump on people," Bella scowls at her. Renesmee frowns apologizing. But I stopped her.
"Tell her it's okay," Renesmee looks at me smiling before turning to her mother.
"She said it's okay," Renesmee says.
Bella turns to me and frowns. "But still, it's not nice jumping on strangers," Bella said. Ouch, that one hurt! Since you want to hurt me, why not just ripped me into pieces and burn me?
"Mommy, she's not a stranger," Renesmee says making them others frown. She then turns to me and smiles.
"She's my friend, right Hazel?" she asked and I nodded.
Renesmee turns to her mother. "See mommy, Hazel's my friend," Bella turns to me before nodding at her daughter. She left her daughter with us in the living room as she went somewhere. Esme, Carlisle, Rosalie, and the Denali coven were in the living room while the others went hunting. William and Emmett went out to hunt and made a bet to see who could catch the biggest prey. Garrett went as the judge and I'm pretty sure they won't be coming anytime soon.
"Hazel, what were you like as a human?" Renesmee asked still on my lap.
"Renesmee," Esme said scowling her and Renesmee looks down.
"Sorry," she said feeling bac but I laughed and she perks up.
"Tell your grandma it's okay," Renesmee nods happily and she tells Esme. Esme looks at me and kindly nods. I know she is afraid of me, but she doesn't have to be. One, I haven't shown them any reason to be. And second, I am her daughter-in-law as much as Bella. Even though they don't know it, I am still me and she should never fear me.
"You still haven't answered my question," Renesmee says and I smiled.
"Well, I was nice-" Renesmee cuts me off
"Aww, I want details," Renesmee says smiling. I look at her and smiled.
3rd POV:
The others watched Renesmee and Hazel interacted with each other and couldn't help but feel happy. The Cullen watched happily yet they couldn't help but feel pain. As they watched Renesmee on the lap of Hazel, they began thinking about Annie. Since this stranger came they been thinking more and more of her. They would wonder if she would be with them or would she have left with Alice and Jasper. Then they would wonder about Jasper, why did he leave all of a sudden? When he found out the second baby girl was a stillborn he was devastated. They saw the last hope in his eyes died out. Is he doing okay? Did he leave with Alice to forget about Annie or did he leave for the sake of Alice, his best friend?
They began thinking, what if Annie doesn't comes back? Will they lose Jasper like they did with Annie? Or will he turn insane like Antanasia? To forever mourn the loss of his mate and start killing to fill the hole in his dead heart?
