On My Fathers Wings
Chapter 1; Where Do I Go From Here?
Renesmee POV
But where do I go from here?
So many voices ringing in my ear
Which is the voice that
I was meant to hear?
How will I know
Where do I go
from here?
Its been 10 years. 10 years since my father died. But I don't know how. Every time I bring up the situation, I get no answer. No explanation, of my vampire fathers death. I don't really remember him.. But I dream about him. Sparkling in the breaking sunlight. High cheek bones. Stiff jawline. Bronze shaggy hair. And a crooked breathtaking smile.
Sometimes he speaks in his dreams. Giving me advice of where to go. What to do. How to do it. His angelic-like voice ringing in my head when I wake up from my sweet dreams. I know my vampire family remember him. They talk about him everyday.. things I don't even understand. I see the look on their faces when I try to get something out of them. Especially my mothers. Pain ripples through her body whenever I say his name.
Edward.
But So far. This is all I know. I live with my mother Bella. My two uncles; Jasper and Emmett. And their wives/ my aunts; Alice and Rosalie. Also my grandparents Carlisle and Esme. All 7 of us are vampires.. Well 7.5. You see I'm a half vampire. My mother was human when I was conceived and given birth to. I have a heartbeat. I have flowing blood in my veins. I blush. Alot.
My mothers father, Charlie, is human.. And the chief of the local Police. I see him every weekend. I'm also friends with his buddy Billy Black, and his only 2 daughters Rebecca and Rachel. Even though they're older than me, grown up and married, they are probably must best friends. I've met Rebecca's husband, Daniel. He's really nice, but I only see him rarely. But I haven't met Rachels other half. When I'm there he's not.. And all I know is his name, Paul. Other than that, he's a stranger to me.
Today is June 16th. And I have just woken up from another dream. Of my father. Although, this time.. it was different. He stepped out of the trees and stood firmly in his place. He didn't move at all. Didn't break focus. Just looked at me. He didn't make a conversation with me, about my future or advice like normal. Instead he said one word.
"Run."
He said it in a tense but weary way. His voice flat but with a hint of worry.
I never tell my family of my dreams. I'm afraid it will bring back memories of him. It was too sore to mention.
I shifted in my bed, moving over to my alarm clock. I groaned at the time. I was never a 7:30am girl. With a sigh I pulled myself up from my bed and looked out my window of a wall. They were wide open from when I returned from my hunt yesterday. And of course; it was raining. I walked over to close them, when I felt the cold fast wind hit my bar legs and arms. Never a good idea to wear shorts and tank tops to bed in Forks. As I pulled them shut, I looked over to the front porch.
Grandpa Charlie was lifting Billy into his wheelchair from his police car. I smiled and remembered it was Saturday. I made my way to my bathroom to get ready.
"Hey Kiddo!" Grandpa smiled, pulling me into a familiar hug.
"Hey Gramps." I smiled, hugging him back.
"Did you get taller?" Grandpa winked, referring to the fact I age differently to other teenage girls. Or should I say; don't age. I hit his arm lightly and chuckled.
"Don't I get a hug?" Billy grinned, opening his arms from his wheelchair. I giggled and wiggled out of Grandpas hold.
"Of course.." I went over and bent down to hug Billy. The familiar scent of La Push beach echoed off both Charlie and Billy. They had obviously gone for an early fishing trip.
"Rach and Becca are in town next week Nessie.." Billy informed me as we pulled away form the hug. I beamed widely and nodded. My grandpa Carlisle came beside me and shook Charlie and Billys hands.
"Good to see you both" He said in a soft voice.
"Likewise Dr." Billy joked. I stepped aside to let Billy push himself closer to Carlisle. "I er.. I supposed you've heard the news of Jacob.." I head Billy murmor. Carlisle nodded and looked at both Billy and Charlie.
"He came to my house last night-" Charlie began. I looked at all three of them, totally confused. Jacob? Who the heck was he?
"Uh, I think It would be best if we took this to my office Charlie.." Carlisle said, gesturing to the private room at the back of the house. Charlie nodded in agreement and took hold of the wheelchair handles.
"Nessie, Alice and Jasper are in the sitting room.." Carlisle sighed, in an obvious sign for me to leave. I nodded slowly and watched as the three men walked away.
"Theyre coming aren't they.." Billy whispered. Then Grandpas door shut.
I looked down and stuffed my hands into my jean pockets. I strolled into the sitting room and saw my Aunt and Uncle cuddled up on the large white leather sofa. Jasper looked at me with a painful face, obviously reading my confused emotions. Jacob.. Where have I heard that name before?
"Morning Nessie" Alice greeted me in her high, cheerful voice.
"Morning" I replied, smiling at the two, sitting the other side of my uncle.
"Whats confusing you?" He asked me straight away as I took the remote from his lap.
"Nothing.." I said, flicking through random channels. Jasper sighed and looked down. "Grandpa and Billy are here.." I said, changing the subject.
"Oh goody!!" Alice squealed, getting up and pulling a large costume bag from behind the sofa. I raised one eyebrow at her. "Your Grandpas suit for his police reunion." She answered.
"Of course." I grinned. She danced down the hall to where to her fathers office. My mom soon came round the cornor.
"Just saw your grandpa.." She smiled, hugging me from behind the sofa aorund my neck, and placing a kiss on my hair. I nodded and smiled at her. Jasper looked at me again.
"Mom.. whos Jacob?" I asked quietly. Both mom and Jasper looked at me.
"Um.. Just a family friend.. You hungry?" She answered, sitting on the opposite sofa. I shook my head.
"But, how come I haven't met him.. I thought I met everyone." I asked again. Mom looked down and stared at the marble floor. The room was silent. I could faintly hear my Grandfathers and Billys conversation.
"Alice saw them coming about 2 weeks ago.. We have to act soon." Grandpa Carlisle said firmly.
"Embry, Jacob and Seth have picked up some scents. I say we only have a few days until their arrival." Billy explained.
I could tell my mother knew I was listening in. She clapped her hands that broke the almost silence and got up from her perch.
"C'mon Ness, what do you want for breakfast?" She said fairly loudly, trying to blank out the conversation. I rolled my eyes.
"Mom, I'm not hungry." I told her again. She crossed her arms and stormed into the kitchen.
"You have to eat something." She called to me. I groaned and sunk back into the sofa.
"Nothing to worry about Ness.." Jasper assured me. I sighed and looked at him.
"Yeah sure.." I said lowly.
Just then, two figures jumped in through the open window. I looked around slowly to see my uncle Emmett and aunt Rosalie set their feet on the ground.
"Ah, she awakes!" Emmett boomed, coming over and kissing my hair. I smiled faintly at him and put my view back to the TV. "Whats up Ness?" Emmett asked, jumping over the sofa in one swift movement and bouncing on the seat next to me. He wrapped his large arm round my shoulders and shook me slightly. I heard Rosalie joij my mother in the kitchen. I shook my head and sighed again.
"Nothing.." I repeated. All these thoughts were going through my head. Jacob, Embry, Seth. Who were these people? Were they to do with my father?
I saw Jasper and Emmett exchange silent glances. Ugh! No one tells me anything! It's like this family lives off secrets.. Literally!
Just then, Billy, Grandpa Charlie and Grandpa Carlisle came back to the sitting room. Charlie gave me a sweet smile, while Billy and Carlisle didn't look at me. Their faces straight and almost frowning. Carlisles lips were pursed. The same thing he does when he is in deep thought.
"Play Off?" Charlie asked Emmett, who nodded with a huge smile. Charlie rushed to the sofa were Momma was sat and stared at the TV, that now was showing the newest baseball match. Billy was still speculating, but slowly wheeled himself near Jasper. I watched as Carlisle walked into the kitchen.
"Bella? A word?" He asked. My lips formed a thin line as I started to think of anything to do with the three names in the discussion.
