*Three years later*
"Mom! I'm back." Renesmee called. She was out hunting. I turned her into a full vampire a year ago, because she had finally reached the appearance of an 18 year old.
"Alright." I said back, finishing up my painting in the art room. Yeah, with so much time on your hands you tend to pick up new hobbies. I found out I love to paint. I ran down the stairs to see blood on her clothes. I laughed.
"What!" She exclaimed. "Oh, come on. I love wrestling with my prey! It's so fun!" She argued. I shook my head, still laughing.
"You sound so much like Emmett." And she just shrugged. "Speaking of Emmett, I wonder if he'd like to arm wrestle me now."
Since we started our new lives, things have gotten better. But, if I said I never thought about Edward, I'd be lying. I will always love him, no matter what he did to me. But, I'm not of course in love with him anymore. Nor will I ever take him back. I don't think I could ever get so close to someone again, for the fear of the same thing happening.
Renesmee hasn't seen much humans, mainly because she's a newborn. But, she's equipped to this new life very well, and I must say I am a very proud momma.
We could almost pass as sisters. Almost. Our eyes are both gold now, and our features are nearly identical to human eyes, except to vampire eyes you can see a prominent difference. She has the gorgeous red locks, from her father, and I still have my mahogany tresses. I still like to wear brown contacts though. I feel more connected with my human life, and Renesmee actually wears green contacts, because they really compliment her hair.
We share each others clothes, since were the same size, which really cuts down on the outfit purchases. I still continue to use my credit card. I mean, it is mine. And I'm sure Carlisle would understand given the current circumstances. It's not like I splurge, or anything. Just enough to get my and my baby girl from day to day. And, we really only need to shower, so our water bill is low, and since we have no need to eat, we don't waste money on food.
The most we've spent on any single thing was probably a cars for the both of us. I got an orange Mustang Convertible, and Renesmee chose a emerald green Chevrolet Camaro Convertible. A little pricey, yes. But we love speed.
"Have you ever thought about visiting them? I mean, they didn't do anything." She projected.
"Yes they did." I said back, probably too harsh.
"You know what 'they' I meant." She narrowed her eyes at me. I sighed.
"I know." I caved. "But it would just hurt too much." She rolled her eyes.
"Mom, come on. I don't even know my family. Do you really want to keep me sheltered my whole life, away from everyone?" She argued. Honestly, yes, I did. But I knew she was right. It wasn't fair to her, or the rest of the family, not including Edward or Alice. Obviously.
"Fine. Come on." Was all I said. I didn't mean to be so harsh, and I know I shouldn't have been. She deserves to know her family. Well, she already knows them, because she was very coherent when we left. But, she needs to be around them now.
We left our home, and went to the airport and bought our tickets. I knew we were going to surprise them, unless a certain pixie informed them, but I would be genuinely surprised if the Cullens hadn't kicked them out by now.
Probably not, seeing as they were their family too. I guess I was being too selfish. But, they weren't the ones who had their hearts broken. No one would understand. Well, there is Jasper...
I lost myself in my thoughts the whole plane ride. I probably looked as if I was sleeping to humans, which was probably odd seeing as it was about 2 in the afternoon. Renesmee just listened to her iPod, mindlessly humming along the whole trip.
"Hey." Renesmee nudged me, and said rather loudly, "Wake up. We're here." I mentally rolled my eyes. She knew good and well I was not sleeping, but the humans wouldn't. And they would find it quite odd if I'd just awoken at the exact moment our plane landed without any signal. She couldn't call me Mom either, since we were the same age by appearance standards. In front of humans, at least.
I did my best to fake a yawn, and stretch. Hey, if I was playing the part, I was going to do it right. She actually rolled her eyes at my attempted facade.
Walking around the airport in Port Angeles, I saw a very familiar face, that had just aged a couple years.
As we walked past, I saw him do a double take.
"Bella?" Mike whispered, unsure of himself. I smiled, and shook my head.
"I'm sorry, who are you?" I asked, trying to sound indifferent. He blinked rapidly a few times, probably trying to process the sight in front of him.
"Sorry. It's just that, you look an awful lot like my friend from high school, Bella." He stuttered.
"Oh." I laughed. "No, I'm her younger sister. Well, we both are. We're twins." I stated, pointing at Renesmee. Mikes eyes bugged out when he fully took in both of us. And then looked doubtful of us being twins.
"Kidding!" I laughed, and he joined me. "But we are Bella's younger cousins." He nodded, meaning he thought that made more sense.
"Well, you two sure are the spitting image of Bella. Just as beautiful." He slipped. And then smiled. "Sorry." I have to admit, these years really did Mike justice. He was hot. I smiled.
"Well thankyou..." I trailed off, pretending as if I didn't know his name.
"Mike. Mike Newton." He replied.
"Mike." I repeated.
"So. She still with Cullen?" He asked, and spat his name like it was a disease.
"No." I replied, too harsh. "Her and Cullen are done." I said, matter-o-factly. He looked relieved.
"Oh. Well, good. He was never good for her." I agree, Mikey-o.
"Nope." I said. "Well, it was nice meeting you. We really have to get going, though. See you around."
"Bye.." Oh, I didn't tell him my name. Think Bella!
"Sorry." I laughed. "I'm Sadie. And this is Vanessa." He said a quick hi to Renesmee, and we went our separate ways.
"Hey, he's pretty cute. Way to go, Mom!" She praised. I chuckled.
"Oh, Ness, he hasn't always been like that." She laughed.
"Well, let me at 'em!" She gushed, and growled playfully. I let my Motherly instincts kick in.
"Absolutely not! He's too old for you." I said. Ad that was that.
"Then he's too old for you too." She argued. I gave her an 'are you kidding me right now' look. I shook my head, and sighed.
"Do whatever you want." I gave in. She was really stubborn. Like mother, like daughter. She squealed, and I had to laugh.
We ran the rest of the way to Forks, and the Cullen mansion came into view way to soon. I stopped short.
"I cant do this." I said, and my body went limp. Renesmee quickly grabbed me, and held me up.
"Mom, yes you can. I got you. You don't even know if they will be here." Gosh, I loved my daughter. She is still very cold towards them. And, she should be. Seeing someone hurt your mother so bad will not make a good impression on the suspect.
"Alright." I said, finally. I took a deep breath, and threw my shoulders back. I could do this.
We ran straight up to the house, and I didn't even stop and think twice about going in.
I opened the door, and almost fell to the floor at what I saw.
