Chapter 2 (Renesmee): Moving Day
As soon as I heard Mom say that we would move to Alaska, I've been awaiting the day we plan to leave.
Grandpa Carlisle is quiting his job tomarrow. Him, Rosalie, Emmett, Mom, and Dad would stay behind to cover up our trail.
Me, Jacob, Alice, Jasper, and Grandma Esme will go today. I was already packed, so I decided to visit Grandpa Charlie.
I came knocking on his door. Susan answered. She greeted me with a casual, "Hi," as if she wasn't freaked out by her step-grandchild. Everytime I see her, it's like she thinks I'll suck her blood or something.
"Hey, Nessie," Papa exlaimed. I love the twinkle in his eye when he spots me across the room.
"Papa!" I was very happy to see him. "How are you?"
"Okay. What's on your mind?" He could see right through me. Sometimes I wondered if he had powers, too.
"Nothing that can't wait until later..."
He waited a while before deciding its better just to let it go for now. You could see his every thought through his face. Just like Mom was (so I've heard).
We chattered away about his youth and what's going on with Jacob and his pack. I explained how Leah finally imprinted on someone. He didn't get what imprinting was, so I began to explain.
His expression quickly turns serious. "You know, if this is a... paranormal thing, I'd rather not hear about it."
I giggled at this. Charlie's always been wierded out by the whole vampire and werewolf thing. How am I supposed to explain the majority of my life to him, then?
This is when he asked about the lingering topic of why I came in the first place. "So, what really is up, Nessie?"
"Actually, Papa, we're moving..."
His eyes widened in shock. It seemed as if he wanted to laugh like I was joking, but he knew I was serious. I touched him, transmitting a vision into his brain. It was the conversation between Mom and Alice. He should be used to my power by now.
"Alaska?" He whispered the word, as if he didn't believe me still. I could only nod.
The rest of my visit was mostly social. Susan is now 5 months pregnant. Another aunt for me to have. One that is even younger than me. She's decided on two names. If it's a girl, Terri. If it's a boy, Charlie Jr.
Before things got too mushy, I left. When I got home, the family was packed. Jacob and I were driving in his home-made truck, while the others took Rosalie's car.
We took off imediately. Vampires are way too impatient.
I looked out the window with hope. I couldn't wait for what awaited us. Jacob grabbed my hand; his way of sharing of his feelings with me, or rather mine with him.
Author's Notes: Still a little slow, and as short (if not shorter) as the first. Don't worry, the pace picks up next. I won't disapoint you if you bother reading the 3rd juicy chapter!
