PLOT OVERVIEW:
Renesmee Cullen was taken by the Volturi when she was 4 years old- and stayed with them for 4 years. She finally runs away, and is found by Seth in the woods. Will she be able to adapt to her families life-style again after being forced to live another for so long?
CHAPTER ONE: Something Impossible
"Goodnight, Renesmee." Alec`s voice said from outside my room.
"Goodnight." I replied in a sweet voice, maybe a little extra sweet. I started to get worried and wonder if he might sense something wrong with me- and stay outside just a little longer and catch me when I actually attempted this.
I strained my ears to hear outside the room, and when I was sure no-one was there, I scurried to the corner and flung open the drawer. Moving at my top speed, I threw everything I had into a small bag. There wasn't much, just a few T-shirts and some jeans, those of which I never wore. I was always required to wear my long, black, dull clothes. I laughed at the image it produced if my Aunt Alice saw what my fashion choices had been for the past 4 years.
I grabbed the lamp of the table and quietly opened the closet, walking inside and digging out the small shoe-box I had been hiding expertly for the past few months. I took out the passport and my plane ticket and stuffed them into the bag, too.
I had no mirror, so I had no idea what I looked like. I just knew I was wearing a pair of jeans and a white button down shirt. I ran my hands through my hair, trying to adjust it in the darkness of my room, then, with one final glance over my shoulder to ensure I wasn't being watched, I flung open the window and climbed out. I stood on the windowsill and looked out. Volterra was always nice in the nighttime, but at the moment, I was too terrified to be amazed by it.
As I took a deep breath, preparing to jump, my voice of reason spoke to me.
What are you trying to accomplish here, Renesmee?
I jumped slightly at it, but spoke back in a sure, confident voice.
Something Impossible.
Escape.
I had been planning this for months, getting my ticket and my passport ready, making sure I was always on my best behavior around everyone so that they had no reason to lock me up and place me in security.
Over the years I had been here, I had gained everyone`s trust. Aro, was particuarlly fond of me, he treated me like his daughter, family, so much that it was hard to be angry at him for taking me captive here. And to say that I wouldn't miss Aro, if any-one, would be the biggest lie I ever told.
Alec had taken a liking to me as well- and for a year we had been in a relationship. We still were, and we were going great. But we could never progress to anything serious. I was still a virgin- though Alec had wanted us to try. I didn't even kiss him regularly. It had to be atleast once a month that I did.
I couldn't help it, really.
I wasn't his.
I was Jacob`s.
Thinking his name, as I ran through the darkness of the night, caused me to stop in my tracks, my breath caught in my chest. All these years, I had always been positively sure, only had one rule that I honored above them all- Never say his name.
But it just came out tonight, I couldn't stop it. and it hurt so unbeilavably much that I had no desire to continue breathing.
If I didn't get away with this, I swore I wouldn't live another minute. If one of them found me, I would do everything I could to ensure I died. I was not going to live any longer being away from…. Him.
I wanted him, I needed him.
When the volturi had kidnapped me, I hadn't known of Jacob`s imprinting. It was a few months after when I over heard them talking about me. Aro confirmed it, giving me all the proof I needed.
If I was hurting so much, I could only imagine what Jacob was going through. I just hoped he was still there when I got back.
Jacob`s POV
Some-one was talking outside, saying something about me that I had no desire to hear.
I didn't care anymore.
The door opened slowly and Bella`s head peeped in. it had been so long since I last saw her, since I last saw any of them. In fact, I couldn't remember the last time I had been out of my room.
I closed my eyes, not wanting to see her, she looked too much like….her…. for it not to hurt to much.
"Jake?" She whispered, walking inside, "Oh my god… Jacob."
I cringed. I knew I looked terrible, I probally looked like a walking skeleton.
"Jake you cant do this to yourself… It`s wrong!" Bella said. I didn't open my eyes to look at her.
"Jacob please, please, do something." She begged.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked slowly.
Hadnt she already given up? Like the rest of them?
The Cullens and my family had tried everything when she first left. We looked for her everywhere- and found her nowhere. I had tried to kill myself, multiple ways, none of them had every worked. Some-one always seemed to find me just as I was about to, and by then, they had learnt not to let me out of their sight. That is, until I became too weak to move. Until I had no will to even try again.
"Anything. Jacob, we miss her, too. We all want her back- but she`s gone, at some point your going to have to accept it, it`s been 4 years, Jacob." Bella said, trying to reason with me. I could hear the pain behind her voice as she spoke.
"She was my imprint- I can`t just get over it." I snapped.
Bella sighed, "Well what can I do?"
Find Renesmee and bring her back to me.
"Nothing." I whispered.
"Please, Jake- atleast eat something.
Ah…. Food. I tried to remember the last time I had eaten without some-one forcing me too. They were all dead set on keeping me alive at all costs. I didn't see how that was their decision. I wanted to die. If I couldn't be with her then… then life just didn't make any sense. It wasn't worth the effort.
"Please, Try, for me." Bella whispered.
I opened my eyes when I felt her ice cold hand on mine. The pain in her eyes were visable, and if she could still cry, I knew she would be in tears right now.
I hated that I was causing them all this pain, they didn't deserve it. but no one even bothered listening to me when I told them to leave me alone, let me suffer by myself.
"Did my dad send you in here to talk some sense into me?" I asked, looking outside, and sensing that right outside my bedroom door everyone was listening to this conversation.
But she shook her head.
"No." She said, "Edward did."
I raised an eyebrow at her. "Really?"
Bella nodded, "He hates to see you like this- do you have any idea how hard it is for him to be within 5 miles of you anymore? Or for Jasper? They can both feel your pain, Jake- everyone can, even those who don't have magical abilities, it isn't an easy thing."
I opened my mouth to talk again, but something stopped me.
I heard some-one laugh.
No- it wasn't just any laugh, it was her laugh. Sweet, memorizing, like music.
It came again, and again.
I could see her face, she looked beautiful, even more so, she was taller, older, and now looked the age she was suppose to be right now- 18.
I felt the hole in my heart become larger as I forced the image to the back of my head. It didn't work- it kept on pushing its way to the front.
"Jacob!" Her voice called, "Jake!"
I groaned and placed my hand over my chest- it felt like there was a gigantic hole right in the middle of it.
"Jake? Jacob- what`s wrong?" Bella asked, urgently.
"Jacob!" Her voice came again- louder, clearer, like she was getting closer to me. The voice rang in my head.
"Edward!" Bella called, looking at me. She quickly stood up as Edward entered the room.
"What`s wrong with him?" She asked.
Edward looked at me, concentrating.
"Renesmee." He whispered. I growled.
"Sorry." Edward whispered. He knew I didn't like to hear her name, it always hurt too much.
Edward started concentrating again, looking at me. I kept hearing her voice over and over in my head, calling me, louder each time.
"He`s thinking about her."
"Well tell him to stop!" Bella screeched.
"He cant!" Edward hissed, looking at me again, "He`s trying to- but…"
"Jake…. Jake…." Her voice said again, "I love you so much, Jake…. I`m coming back to you, Jake."
I gasped and fell onto the floor, groaning as the image faded away.
The pain felt so unbearable that I couldn't take it.
Edward and Bella weren`t the only one`s in the room now- but I couldn't figure out who the other people were- I couldn't see their faces clearly.
"Renesmee." I gasped, shutting my eyes clothes.
