Chapter 22: Flashback
Nessie's POV
I could not breathe. No matter how hard I tried I could not breathe. Every attempt at drawing in breath resulted in failure. I needed to get out. If I did not get out now I would die. Die before I even got the chance to live. I thrashed violently against my small watery enclosure. Each kick more desperate than the last. I knew I was inside of my momma. I had figured that out awhile ago. Now I needed her to know that I had to get out if not I would die.
Momma screamed in pain and I hated knowing that I was the one causing it. I loved her and I did not want to hurt her but if I stayed here much longer I would not get to live and I wanted to live. I kicked hard again and I heard something break nearby. I heard loud voices on the outside but I didn't know what they were saying. I was about to pass out from not being able to breathe.
Then suddenly a white light appeared and a pair of ice cold hands grabbed me and pulled me out. I took deep breaths and filled my air with lungs. The first thing I saw was my daddy. He smiled happily and held me tight.
"Renesmee," he said.
"Let me, give her to me," momma's voice sounded weak and tired. When I saw her she smiled the biggest smile at me. I could tell that she was still in pain but she loved me anyway. That was the first and last time I was ever held by my momma. As soon as I smelled her blood though I was overcome with thirst and I bit her. Daddy pulled me away before I could hurt momma anymore. Then momma's heart stopped beating.
Daddy quickly passed me to aunt Rosalie who had come to get me. The last thing I saw was daddy giving momma his venom. Aunt Rosalie took me away quickly and started taking care of me. She kept talking to me excitedly as she gave me a bath but I really didn't pay attention to what she was saying. I just kept thinking about my momma. I was worried and I hoped that she would be okay.
Aunt Rosalie took me downstairs after that. I was drinking a bottle of blood when I saw Jacob for the first time. He looked extremely angry about something that I could not understand. He was shaking violently. It scared me. Then everything changed the second he looked at me. He wasn't angry anymore and he stopped shaking. I felt a strange connection to him. Being around him made me happy.
Then I met the rest of my family. They all loved me and I loved them. I had the best grandparents, the best aunts and uncles, the best daddy, and Jacob. The only thing I wanted was my momma. Daddy told me that hopefully in a few days I would get to meet her again.
Mostly I was with my family. However, two days after I was born, I learned how to crawl. When no one was looking I was able to crawl away from my family. I made it all the way to where momma was and I saw something that I was sure I would never forget. She looked as pale as the rest of my family now. Her heartbeat was a lot slower than I remembered it being. Daddy had said that momma was changing and I was sure that this was it. Then something strange happened to momma's body. It changed and became almost see through. Like a ghost. Two seconds later it went back to normal.
"Renesmee there you are!" daddy shouted frantically as he picked me up. "You scared me little one,"
I never saw momma again after that because she died. I never told anyone what I saw that day either because I was sure that I just imagined it. Never once did I think that what I saw could be real.
I missed momma and was really sad that I would never get to see her again but I still my daddy and the rest of my family. They always took care of me even I always was getting into trouble of some sort.
Then came that fateful day that I accidentally broke daddy's piano and he screamed at me so much that I cried and ran away. I remembered vividly when I first met the girl who could make me feel like I was burning alive whenever she looked at me. I was taken to Italy against my will. Once we arrived in Italy I was taken to a castle in Volterra where I met the Volturi for the first time. I was extremely scared and tried to fight them and escape. One of the Volturi members grabbed me so hard that something in my back snapped. I screamed in pain. I was even more horrified when I realized that I could not move my legs anymore.
Most of the Volturi wanted to kill me but Aro thought I was "too interesting a creature to kill," so he decided to let me live on two conditions. One that I would never return to my real family ever again. Two that I never remembered the truth about my supernatural origins ever again. If I violated any of those rules my family and I would be killed instantly. I agreed because I didn't want to die and I didn't want the rest of my family to be killed either.
Aro had just recently acquired a new vampire for his guard that would ensure that I never remembered the truth ever again. Oscar was gifted in that he could make people forget what he wanted them to forget. So when I woke up in a strange place I had no memory of anything. That's when my life of hell officially began.
I woke slowly feeling groggy. Yet, still remembering everything vividly. All of my memories were officially back. When I thought back to seeing my mom turn into a ghost and back all those years ago I realized something. Mom wasn't dead. She never died. She was just gifted. Gifted with the ability to turn into a ghost and back. Only she didn't know that and she didn't know how to control it. I was gifted in the sense that only I could see her in ghost form. But she was alive.
I opened my eyes slowly and the first thing I realized was that I was back at the Volturi castle. I had violated the conditions set by Aro many years ago. Not only had i returned to my real family but all of my memories were back. I awaited my fate.
