Disclaimer: I don´t own Twilight. That´s sad.
A/N: I DID IT! I don´t know how, but I managed to write a new chapter. I surprise myself. My dream is to write a really long story but unfortunately, I´m a lazy writer. I feel happier everytime I publish. It´s a reminder I CAN DO IT! :P Anyway, it´s all because of the people who review. Please REVIEW. It makes me happy.
Enough of me... On with it.
Chapter 4 Renesmee Hits Womanhood
T´ping
Going to the woods always makes me forget about the bad things. It helps me relax. The fresh air and the sound of the close by river flowing makes me feel carefree. I came here to stay away for a little while and to be alone. But I guess I am not alone this time. I turned back by the sounds of approaching footsteps. I could recognize that face anywhere.
-"We meet again" he said with a casual voice while approaching and taking the spot next to me on the huge rock.
-"Apollo! Nice to see you!"
-"Well… I have to say the same!" he said with an enthusiastic, god-like smile.
-"But what are you doing here?"
-"You said I could always visit…" he trailed off.
-"Oh that´s awesome! I´m sure Carlisle would be delighted to talk to you!"
-"I didn´t come to visit Carlisle… I came to visit you." He said huskily. I couldn´t keep back the urge of smiling. He was just so sweet. Out of nowhere, he leaned in closing the space between us. I could feel his amazing breath on my face, his perfectly toned arms reaching out to wrap around my waist. Our lips almost touc-
-"RENESMEE!!! You´re late for school, come on!" Alice knocked persistently on the door.
-"No! Tell mom that I don´t want to go!" I groaned.
"Yeah, yeah… We´ve heard that before! Hurry up or you´ll be late."
"God Aunt Alice! You interrupted my dream!"
She burst in the room and I could instantly sense she was in question mode.
-"What dream? About who? What was about to happen? Did it have anything to do with us going shopping tomorrow? Who was in it? What were you wearing so I can know what I have to buy?"
-"Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow calm down! First of all, no shopping," she pouted," second of all, none of your business, and third of all, you have the worst timing ever!" I jumped out of bed annoyed and went straight to the bathroom slamming the door.
"Renesmee Carlie Cullen! What do you mean it's none of my business? Of course it is! I am your aunt" she said the last word as if it mattered.
-"Oh yeah? And since when have you acted like one Aunt Alice?" I shouted from inside the bathroom.
-"Don´t go there! Even though I am your sister to the world, and sometimes your best friend, that doesn´t mean I am not your aunt according to the rules!"
-"Okay, Aunt Alice. Why don´t you leave me alone so I can shower in peace?"
-"Fine little brat! I told Edward you were being raised as one but he didn´t listen!" and with that, she stormed out of the room. I decided not to pay attention to this and started to pick my hair up and get in the shower. The hot water felt amazing but it didn´t keep the thoughts from last night´s dream from entering my mind. What shocked me the most was the fact that I liked the dream. I also found myself thinking about how vivid those images were and wishing they´d be true. Apollo was incredibly breath-taking and I couldn´t deny it. The water started to get cold so I got out of the shower.
I got dressed in the school uniform, which sucks, and rushed downstairs. Aunt Alice almost got a heart attack when she saw the uniforms of this school. She insisted on making the school change the uniform policy to allow students to wear clothes at least two days a week. When it got rejected she got really upset because she said she wouldn´t get to show off her new spring collection.
Thanks to my father´s abilities to drive like a maniac, I made it to school just in time. My homeroom teacher was late anyway so it gave me time to hang out a little with my friends before class started. We were sitting on the partner tables of advanced biology and my friend Kristen couldn´t stop talking about this hot guy she met in the weekend at a party. To be honest, I wasn´t paying attention to anything she was saying. I was thinking about the dream I had last night. We were just about to kiss. I wasn´t trying to avoid it either. I leaned in. I wanted him to kiss me.
-"Renesmee! Have you been paying attention to what I was saying? I mean like, hello!"
-"To be honest with you, no, not really. I´m sorry Kristen. What were you saying?"
-"I was telling you about this guy I met! It´s important! He asked me out, you know?" Right then, our teacher arrived.
-"Please take your respective seats and open your books to the last section we were working with," Mr. Banner said.

Biology was as boring as was Gym and Spanish. I couldn´t wait for the day to be over. I couldn´t wait for the week to be over. For some reason, in the back of my mind, I was fantasizing about seeing Apollo again in the weekend. It was plain ridiculous because I didn´t know the guy and I didn´t even know where he lived. He was just probably on a little vacation near town. The problem is he´s just so mouth-watering. I almost forgot about my day with Jacob. Yes, I had fun. The best part though, was probably meeting Apollo.
Incredible how my feelings towards Jacob became blurry all of the sudden. Now I feel so uncertain about him. Before, there was this huge affinity and now I´m not even sure what it is.
I sat with my friends today at lunch because even though my dad could probably listen to everything I was thinking, at least I didn´t have to answer any of the questions they were certainly going to ask. Or at least postpone them for a while.
As soon as the day was over, we went straight home. I was the only one who ate, of course, but everyone watched. I rushed upstairs to finish my homework early. It wasn´t as much homework as I usually get so I finished quickly. Unfortunately, this gave me time to think some more about Apollo. I was a hundred percent sure that by the end of the day, I´d have a headache. Subconsciously, I drifted off to sleep. When I woke up, I have to admit, I was a bit upset that I didn´t dream of Apollo. It was to be expected, though. Dreams are rarely continued or repeated. I looked at the clock and it was 6:47 so I decided to go downstairs.
When I got there, I found Uncle Emmett watching a football game.
-"Hey kiddo…"
-"Hi Uncle Emmett," I said.
-"You know what? I´m bored!"
-"Oh, oh. That´s not good," I said and he chuckled.
"We should go TP'ing the Newton house!" He said enthusiastically, like a child about to go to a toy store.
-"Um, I don´t think that´s such a good idea…" I said.
-"Oh come on! Don´t tell me you came out like Edward! Besides, we won´t get caught," he said trying to mimic Aunt Alice´s pout.
I was so bored this actually sounded like decent entertainment so I decided to agree. Besides, maybe it would keep Apollo out of my mind for a while.
We told Esme we would go hunting so no one would suspect anything. We left in his jeep and headed to the supermarket. There we bought an industrial amount of toilet paper which fit perfectly in his trunk. Along with that, we also bought some chips and Hershey bars to give our mouths something to do until nightfall. Then we parked the jeep a block away from the Newton House to see if they´d go out anytime soon. It was easy to recognize their red Camry pulling out of their driveway at around 7:30. Only Mike´s parents were in it which meant Mike was still in the house. Even better.
-"It´s time!" Uncle Emmett said excited while pulling a huge backpack from the backseat.
-"What´s that for?" I said.
-"Oh silly! That´s to go undercover! Black hoodies!" he said while pulling them out of the backpack.
-"Uncle Emmett, you´re insane," I said while putting the black hoodie on, mine being about 5 sizes smaller than his, of course.
-"Here put this on too," he handed me a black cap. But the last thing he pulled out was what surprised me the most. "What is that?" I asked.
-"Black paint!" he said with a dorky smile.
-"What for?"
-"For us to put on our cheeks! We are taking this to a whole new level!"
-"Well, you are taking this to a whole new level. I´m so not putting that on my cheek," I said in denial.
-"PARTY POOPER!" he screamed to the top of his lungs.
-"Keep it down! We are trying to go undercover, remember?" I hushed him.
-"Pleeease!" he said using Aunt Alice´s pout for the second time today.
-"Hand it to me then," I said only to make him happy.
-"I have a surprise for you!" he said while handing the black paint to me.
-"What now?" I asked annoyed.
-"Black glitter stars!" he said proudly.
-"Huh?"
-"You´re slow today aren´t you? You are supposed to put it on top of the paint before it dries for it to look pretty! I took it from Rose´s craft box!"
-"Thanks?" it came out like a question. I took the black paint and made two neat stripes on each side and put three black stars on each, just like a warrior. Then I put my hair up in a ponytail and put on the black cap. I zipped up my hoodie and looked at Uncle Emmett who gave me a reassuring nod. All of the neighborhood lights were off making it a hundred times easier to do this without getting caught. We went to the trunk and put as much toilet paper inside the backpack as it could hold, which was a lot. Then we ran to the front lawn of the house. Only a dim light was on in a bedroom window. Probably just a night stand.
-"Ok, I take the west side and you take the east side, clear?" Uncle Emmett asked me with a dead serious face.
-"I´m so nervous! I can´t do this." I whispered-yelled.
-"Yes you can," he said reassuringly.
-"What if he like calls the police or something?" I asked him.
-"They won´t catch us. And if they do, Carlisle can just give the police station a generous amount of money and we´ll be out before they even get to give us the crappy jail food."
-"Wow, that helps," I said sarcastically. He chuckled and handed me the backpack with half the toilet paper in it.
-"Wait! We need like a keyword or something. For the other to know if there´s trouble."
-"Good idea. The word is ´trouble´." Is he serious?
-"No, silly! That´s too obvious."
-"True," he put his right hand on his chin thinking of a new word. "Okay, how about mistletoe?"
-"Fine," I said uncaringly. Not once until now have I asked myself why I agreed to this.
-"On the count of three, one, two, THREE!" he whispered enthusiastically. I ran to my corresponding side of the house and hid behind a bush before I opened the packages of toilet paper. I grabbed three and left the others there. I started covering a tree and when I was done with that, I began doing the lawn. I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins and the fear of getting caught was excruciating. I suddenly saw Uncle Emmett on my side and gave him a questioning look.
-"I´m doing the perimeter of the house!" he whispered. Now I could understand why he was running around like a maniac. Once I was satisfied with the work I had done with the lawn, I grabbed more rolls and threw them to the ceiling. All of the sudden, I heard "What the heck?" from a very pissed Mike who was looking out the window with the dim light. "Who the hell is there?" he asked furiously. That was followed by Uncle Emmett´s booming laughter. We both, at the same time, yelled "MISTLETOE!!!" and ran to the jeep. Even though he didn´t let us finish, the house looked like a wreck. Uncle Emmett started the engine and drove away.
-"THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!" he yelled.
-"I have to agree," I said laughing.
-"Wait a minute!" I said.
-"What?" he asked with a curious face.
-"Didn´t you tell Esme we´d be hunting?"
-"Yeah…" he said.
-"She´s going to notice we weren´t hunting! Your eyes are coal black!"
-"Oh that´s right. Now that you mention it, I am a little thirsty. Want to go catch a deer or two?" he asked me with a smile.
-"Sure," I said. He drove to our usual hunting spot when I glanced at the clock. It was now 9:55.
-"We better do this quickly," I told him. "It´s late and they´ll suspect."
-"Okay. Two and two?" he asked me, referring to the amount of deer for each.
- "With one I´m good. I hunted with Aunt Alice after we went to the mall the other day."
***
Right after we were done, I went to the little stream close by and washed away the black stripes from my face. I let my hair loose, put away the hoodie and cap, and went to the jeep. Uncle Emmett was already there waiting for me. We pretty much just talked about how much fun we had and Mike´s face when he noticed the mess. I laughed at the cleaning up he had ahead before his parents arrived.
We got home and it was hard to miss the police patrol parked next to my father´s Volvo.
