Chapter 2: San Diego, California
Nessie's POV
I looked out the window as the airplane took off. It was kind of funny to see the ground getting smaller and smaller as the plane got higher and higher in the sky. It was kind of funny to see. It was fascinating actually. It was a sight that I would never forget. It was beautiful to see the sea of clouds everywhere once we were flying above them.
I started to get sleepy a few minutes later and I yawned. I started to cry again when I thought about how momma would read me stories when it was bed time. I missed my momma a lot already.
A sudden shake and a loud noise is what woke me up. The plane had just landed. I looked out the window and saw that it was still really dark out side. I had no idea where I was going as I walked through the airport. I didn't know what to do or where to go. This is the first time that I had ever been alone in my entire life. I always had momma, daddy, Jakey, grandma, grandpa, or one of my aunts and uncles with me. It was weird to be alone.
People looked at me funny. Probably because I was a little kid and I was all by myself. I continued walking through the airport until I finally found a way outside. I was lost and confused when I saw the streets. So I just kept walking and walking and walking until I got really tired and I could not walk anymore. I found a place to sleep behind a large building. It wasn't very comfortable but it would have to do for now. Even if I never found another family to live with again I knew that this was better. My family was safer without me. I just caused problems and danger for them.
Even though it was very uncomfortable I fell asleep quickly. I woke up only because I heard a dog barking. I opened my eyes and saw the dog staring at me from only a few feet away.
Since he woke me up he had the honor of being my breakfast. Dog blood actually tasted really good. Definitely on my list of favorite animals to drink now.
Something else had happened while I was asleep. I had grown again. Not a lot but enough for me to notice a difference. That was another thing that I hated about myself. I grew to quickly and it worried my family.
I started to walk again even though I had no idea where I was going. I stopped when I caught the scent of animals again. A lot of animals. They smelled like animals that lived in the ocean but the smell was really close. These animals couldn't live in the ocean, could they? I was confused.
My curiosity took over and I followed the scent. I stopped and looked up when I saw a massive sign called "SeaWorld". The smell of the sea animals was coming from in there. I was confused, but also curious at the same time. I went inside the building before anyone could even see me.
I was amazed by the place. There were a lot of sea animals here. I could tell by the scent. I decided go and explore this strange place some more. This could be fun.
I got excited when I saw dolphins and accidentally pushed some human children out of the way. I was fascinated by the animals. I had seen dolphins before but never so close before. One of them even swam right up to me and looked at me. So beautiful.
The next animal I saw was a killer whale. Actually it was a lot of killer whales. I had never seen killer whales at all before. The size of them kind of scared me. It was really cool when they swam right by me. Then I found out that they did shows to. It was fun to watch them jump, spin around, and splash people-including me. I got soaked all the way to my underwear.
It was fun to see the animals and learn about them. This place was fascinating. More time went by and I got to see more animals and more shows.
Toward the end of the day I saw that a strange man had started to follow me around. He was looking at me kind of strangely but I ignored it. All humans were nice so I was sure it's nothing.
I had a little bit of money so I used to it to buy an ice cream. Sweets were the only kind of human food that I could tolerate.
I went to go see some more animals once I was done. Then I went to one of the stores where they had a lot of stuffed animals like killer whales and dolphins.
I grabbed the killer whale one because I thought it was the cutest. Sadly I didn't have enough money to buy it.
"Hey, little girl"
I was startled when I heard a voice talking to me. I turned around and saw that it was that same man that had been following me for awhile.
"What is your name?" he asked me.
"Renesmee. But you can call me Nessie" I told him.
He smiled in a way that didn't seem that friendly. I wasn't sure how to describe it.
"Nessie, how about this. I'll buy you that Shamu doll if you do something for me. Okay?"
"What do you want me to?" I asked him.
"I want you to come home with me. If I buy you that Shamu will you come home with me?" he asked me.
"Yes" I smiled. He was going to buy this for me and let me come stay with him? He really was a nice human! I liked him!
