Chapter 6: The Game

Renesmee's POV

Brenna, she was a lot shorter than I remember. Or maybe I was just a lot taller.

"What do we need to talk about?" I asked. Even though I had a strong suspicion on what it is that she would want to talk about.

"Let's go somewhere more private" she said. The school parking lot suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a forest.

"What just happened?" I asked.

"I teleported us" she replied.

Then I asked the next question that had been bothering since I saw her. "How did you find me?"

"It's a strange thing about withes. We can sense whenever one of our spells is broken. We automatically know which spell was undone, who broke it, and the location of where it was broken. A few days ago I was 'alerted' that the spell that I placed on you 12 years ago was broken" she explained.

"So this means that my vampire side will come out again. I'm going to be able to pass as a full vampire now" I said.

"Yes, you will Renesmee" she said.

"I don't understand why" I said.

"This is probably the best way that I can explain it. Think about your shape shifter friends. They are born with the gene to shape shift, however they need to come across the scent of a vampire before their gene is activated. Essentially what I did was make you like a shape shifter. You still had the vampire gene but you needed to come across the scent of a vampire for that gene to activate" she explained.

When she explained it that way it made a lot of sense. I've met my family, which consists of eight vampires, over the past 72 hours. There was just no way that I couldn't avoid breaking the spell. There was still something that I didn't quite understand though. "I still don't understand why I would be able to pass as a full vampire" I said.

"Like I said, containing a hybrid's vampire side has strong consequences. It's like containing bad emotions inside for a very long time. Once it's released it basically explodes" she said.

"How long does this process take?" I asked.

"It varies from person to person. For some people it's a few weeks and for others it's a few months. The only thing for certain is that you're no longer human" she said.

"What changes will happen?" I asked. I desperately wanted to know what was going to happen to me. I just wish I knew how long the process was going to take.

"Your skin will get pale, your eye color will start to change, you'll start craving blood, you will have enhanced strength and speed that will be as good as any other vampire as well as your senses. However, you'll still crave human food, you will also still have a beating heart, and you will still get a period so that you don't lose your reproductive capability" she explained.

"Whoa" I said. This was a lot to take in at once. I was having trouble processing the idea that I will no longer be human. What am I going to do? What am I going to tell my adoptive family?

"It's getting late young hybrid. You should probably go home now" she said and with that I was back in the school parking lot again.

"Renesmee where were you? We've been looking for you everywhere," I turned around to see my vampire father running towards me at an impossible speed, followed by the rest of my family, whom all looked relieved.

"Brenna showed up. She wanted to talk to me. She knew that the spell had been broken" I said.

"What did she say?" mom asked.

"Basically what I already told you. She wanted to remind me of what was going to happen, but she doesn't know how long the process would take. She said that it varies from person to person" I explained.

"I want to meet this witch" dad said

"So do I" mom said.

"So do we" everyone said at the same time.

I was actually surprised. Why would they want to meet her? "I'm sorry, but she's gone now" I said.

"Fine, but next time that she comes around we want to talk to her" dad said.

"Okay" I replied.

We left after that. The next several days went by at an amazingly fast pace. My family seemed to be making up for lost time. It seemed like every spare moment I had I was spending with them. They were also very intent on coming to my baseball game on Friday. It was going to feel very weird because I knew that they were going to be observing me and my athletic ability.

Soon enough it was Friday and I was heading to the baseball field at my school. I saw my friend Valerie approach me. "Why do you look so worried Vanessa?" she asked.

"Um, I really don't know" I lied.

"Are you sure you're okay? You are never worried before a game, you're usually so confident" she said.

"I'm fine, I promise" I said a little irritated. The truth is that she was right though, I was nervous and I had never been nervous about a game before.

"Okay, see you later" she said.

I had to go to the bullpen to warm up before I went out to pitch. I used this time to relax and compose myself before it was time to go out onto the field. As I took my place on the pitcher's mound I saw the Cullens sitting right behind home plate. Grandpa Carlisle was smiling like it was Christmas morning and all of the Cullens were staring at me in shock. This is when I realized that I failed to mention the position that I played. Pitcher, it has to be one of the hardest positions to play in baseball and the Cullens were sitting in the perfect spot to observe me play this difficult position.

The first batter on the other team stepped up to the plate and he looked nervous. I threw the ball as hard as I could and the ball ripped past the batter at an incredible speed. I did this for the second two pitches as well and struck him out. I could clearly see that my family were all taking mental notes by the expressions on their faces. I purposely pitched slower to the second batter so she would have a better chance of getting a hit. Which she did, the ball bounced and rolled on the floor. I grabbed the ball and threw it as fast as I could to first base where Valerie was. Valerie caught the ball but not without feeling some pain. She had to take her hand out of her glove and shake it off for a minute. I looked over to the where the Cullens were sitting and I saw them still scrutinizing my every move; especially Carlisle.

It's actually pretty common for me to throw the ball to a player so hard that there left feeling some pain after. I try not to do that but sometimes I can't control my own strength and I usually end having to apologize to a few people afterwards. There was one time when I accidentally hit the batter and he had a broken arm afterwards. This caused some suspicion, but it died down afterwards and I was very careful when I pitched after that incident.

I saw my dad whisper something to Carlisle. My guess would be that he was telling Carlisle everything that I had just been thinking. Dad just looked at me and nodded 'yes'.

So far everything had been going normal. It wasn't until I batted that things got strange.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!" the crowd started shouting as I approached the plate. My family took note of the chant as well. I loved this chant. It means Most Valued Player. I was hoping to win the award.

The crowd was at their wildest because we had players on all three bases. The first pitch was straight down the line. This is almost too easy sometimes. As soon as my bat connected with the ball a sound like thunder erupted throughout the stadium and the ball whipped through field faster than it ever had before.

I along with everyone else in the stadium were stunned. What the hell just happened?! I've never hit the ball that hard before. What was with the thunder sound? Did I do that? It took a full minute for everyone get over their shock. They started cheering but I could tell that they were still just as stunned as I was. I ran around the bases as fast as I could. Once I made eye contact with my family they gave me an odd look. Something tells me that they might know something about what just happened.

I continued to think about this throughout the rest of the game. I couldn't help but wonder if this was part of the change that was supposed to happen to me.

At the end of the game I went to join the festivities of my team since we had won again. However, as I was walking over there a cold hand suddenly grabbed my shoulder and stopped me. It was my father.

"Renesmee, you need to come with us immediately. There are some things that we need to discuss urgently" he said. I looked over to where the rest of my family were standing and they nodded in agreement with serious looks on their faces.
