Chapter 4: Identity
The ride wasn't as long as I thought it would be. Grandpa Carlisle drove, my father was in the passenger seat and B.T. and I sat in the back. I got the feeling my Dad liked B.T. more than he like Jacob. The two were having a great conversation.
I just kind of sat there next to B.T. as he talked to my Dad. One thing did bother me though. What would Jacob do when he got back? How would he react to meeting B.T.? Most likely he wouldn't like it. After all we were soul mates after Jacob imprinted on me and B.T. and I were just friends.
This ride did give me time to think though, even if my father was listening to my thoughts. We didn't tell B.T. what we were. We didn't want him to have to get involved but he was now a friend of the family. I know for a fact that my father knows his secret but I'll let B.T. reveal it when he's ready.
"How come your being so quiet, Renesmee?" B.T. asked breaking my concentration.
"Just lost in my thoughts." I laughed.
"You got a nice friend here." Carlisle stated turning onto a street.
"Nessie." my father said.
"Yes, Daddy." I smiled.
"When we get to B.T.'s house we will talk real quick." he said with a laugh.
"Okay, Dad." I agreed.
"Ut-Oh. Somebody's in trouble." B.T. teased as my Dad and Carlisle laughed.
"Funny." I said smirking.
"Okay, Carlisle. Here's my place." B.T. told him as we parked in the driveway.
The four of us got out of the car. I saw B.T.'s house, which was really small. I guess it was nice since it was just him and his mother. My father and I stood outside as B.T. and Carlisle went inside. I didn't know what my Dad wanted to talk about outside. Maybe Carlisle was going to take some of her blood and he didn't want to have me around.
"That was part of the reason." my father said smiling. "It's interesting though that you didn't tell him about us."
"I don't want to get him involved." I said to my Dad.
My Dad looked at me. It was dark out but I could still see his pale face. "Demetri saw him. If he tells Aro, then it's sure to cause trouble."
"Then we have to protect him." I said.
"Of course." he said putting a hand on my shoulder. "But what are you going to tell Jacob, when he comes back."
"Jacob's my soul mate. He'll help us protect my friend." I argued. "Everything will be fine."
"I sure hope so." he frowned. "Your mother has hurt Jacob in the past to be with me. I don't want you to hurt any of your friends."
"I understand."
My father turned his attention to his left. I looked in the same direction. I was sure he sensed the same thing that I was sensing, I just didn't recognize the smell. It smelled like an immortal but I never smelled it before.
"Yes, it's an immortal. I don't know who. I think it's that guy with Demetri." my father said getting in a defensive position.
"We can't let him inside." I said getting into a pounce as well.
"I'll take care of him." my Dad smirked.
The two of us were down in our crouch positions. With the speed greater than any immortal I had ever seen the bald headed immortal tackled my father to the ground. They rolled around for a few seconds before my father kicked him off into a tree knocking it over.
"That was easy." I said dropping my guard.
"He's not done." my Dad hissed.
The bald headed immortal shook off the attack and stood up quickly to tackle my Dad again. My father didn't counter, it was like he couldn't sense this thing. I was going to go over to help my Dad.
"No, Nessie. Stay back." he ordered.
Just as he finished ordering me to stay put, another figure appeared swinging his left fist at the bald headed vampire's face knocking him off my father. The evil vampire looked at this newly arrived figure who was wearing leather. I just couldn't see the color of it.
"Who are you?" the Vampire asked.
"I protect those who are innocent." this leather hooded dark glasses wearing man answered.
"I don't have time for your games." the bald headed Volturri member said running away.
"Thank you." my father thanked this costumed man as he stood up.
"No problem." the man replied a little scared. I guess because we were immortals as well. "You, come over here." he added looking at me.
I walked over to my father and this I guess you could say masked hero hesitantly. I knew that my father knew that I was still kind of frightened at what just happened. I was glad I didn't have to say anything in front of this guy.
"Who are you?" I asked restating the evil Vampires question.
"Call me, Spark." he answered coolly.
"You can stand down. He's gone and we are not going to hurt you." my father stated as Spark put his hands to his sides.
"Can you read my mind or something because you knew what I was thinking?" Spark asked looking at my father.
"Yes, I can." my Dad smiled. "Don't worry, we are your friends."
"It's good to know that some of you are good. The only reason I'm here is because I promised B.T. I would protect him and his mother." Spark explained.
"That's nice of you." I smiled that I now knew someone was looking after my friend.
Carlisle walked out of the house by himself. He saw the three of us standing in the dark. He walked down the front steps towards us. The three of us turned around to give him our attention.
"Is everything okay?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes." my father nodded.
"Are B.T. and his mom safe?" I asked looking in Grandpa Carlisle's direction.
"Yeah, they are fine." Carlisle assured.
"I must go." Spark announced. As me and my father turned towards him, he was gone.
"Where'd he go?" I asked.
"He'll be back again one day." my Dad assured.
"Come inside. B.T.'s mom is a lovely sweet woman." Carlisle gestured as we walked inside.
After what had just happened outside, it was refreshing to be inside again. Then it occurred to me that, that was the guy from my dream and the one who attacked Volterra. But how did he get here so fast? A question I now officially vow to answer.
"Yes, that was him. How he got here so fast, I do not know." my Dad said, I guess listening to my thoughts again.
We walked into the living room, which was empty. There was furniture on one side, a few tables next to the furniture and a Television against the wall. My Dad, Carlisle and I cut through the Living room to the Kitchen, where B.T. was sitting at the table next to his wheelchair bound mother.
"Mom, this is Edward and his daughter, Renesmee." B.T. pointed as me and my father followed Carlisle in the room.
"Hi." my father and I waved stopping in the doorway.
"So, as I was saying before I went outside, you seem to be in great health, Mrs. Silver." Carlisle said sitting across from B.T. and his mother at the Kitchen table.
"Well that's good, Dr. Cullen." B.T.'s mom thanked.
"What happened out there?" B.T. asked curious to know what happened.
"We just had an uninvited guest." my father answered. "Yes, it was." he added answering a question B.T. must have asked in his head.
"It's nice that B.T. has met some wonderful people like you." Mrs. Silver smiled sitting peacefully in her wheelchair.
I shuttered at being considered human but even with Grandpa Carlisle and my father's pale skin, she still didn't know that we were immortals. I was too afraid to tell B.T. my secret of actually being half immortal. Could he even handle a secret as big as that though no body was suppose to know about our existence? My father put his cold hand on my shoulder to assure me that we would talk about it later.
"Can I interest any of you with anything to drink? We don't have much." B.T. offered.
"I'm fine." my father replied. "Thanks anyway."
"No, thank you." Carlisle declined. I knew it was about time to go hunting soon so they would wait not that human food would help.
"Renesmee, anything for you?" B.T. smiled.
It was hard to decline his sweet smiled that reminded me of Jacob but I had to. "Sorry no, thank you."
"I am sorry to make this visit so short, Mrs. Silver but the three of us must get home." Carlisle explained to the Silver's. "It was nice to meet both of you."
"And the same of you, Dr. Cullen." Mrs. Silver nodded.
"You are welcome to come see us anytime, B.T. You're a good kid." my father stated. That's the nicest thing he's said about any human.
My father, Carlisle and I walked out of B.T's house and got into Carlisle's car. I was in the backseat by myself, Carlisle was driving and my Dad sat in the passenger seat. It was quiet for a few minutes.
"He knows about us." my Dad stated.
"How?" Carlisle asked.
"I'm not sure. He somehow figured it out by himself." my father answered.
"What about this Spark guy, Dad?" I asked.
"He's on our side. He's afraid of us but he trusts us." my Dad explained.
"It looks like another ally for us." Carlisle replied. "Why is he after the Volturri, though. It's suicide."
"I couldn't read it in his mind. The Volturri will soon know that we're allies with him when Demetri returns to Volterra." my father answered.
The rest of the car ride was silent. I wondered if we were going to tell the others about our adventure at B.T's. for some reason though, I had this funny feeling my father wasn't telling us everything. Maybe he had a good reason for it. There was one thing though that I knew I had to do and that was find out Spark's identity.
When the three of us returned to the house, Alice asked if what she saw happening happened and my father explained that 'yes it did happen.' all of us had a nice conversation about how nice B.T. was. Aunt Rosalie actually admitted that she preferred him over Jacob any day.
Eventually I fell asleep or at least dozed off because all I knew was my Dad walked home with my Mom with me in his arms. I was placed on my bed and my parents tucked me in.
"She's asleep right now." I heard my father's voice say as it got lower.
"It's okay. I'm here to see you." I heard what sounded like B.T.'s voice.
The next thing I knew I woke up in my bed. My Mom was sitting in a chair as I awoke. I was still a bit sleepy. My Mom smiled her beautiful smile. I couldn't help but smile back at her.
"Good morning." she smiled laughing at my tired face.
"Morning." I laughed. I remembered that it was Sunday. "Where's Dad?" I asked.
"He had a few things to take care of." my mother answered watching me get up. "Jacob will be back next week, so Alice and I are giving you a make over."
"Lucky me." I groaned. "I thought you hated makeovers."
"I do but this isn't me." she laughed.
"Great."
"Ha. Ha." she giggled. "Come on. Get up and get ready. Alice is waiting."
"Okay, if I have to but something tells me that Jacob isn't the only reason your doing this." I replied getting up.
"Jacob is my best friend, Renesmee. I don't want him to get hurt. He was met to be with you." my mother stated seriously. "Besides, you don't know this B.T. kid well enough to know if you love him."
"True." I agreed. "How's Jacob going to react to him?"
"Probably not good." my Mom answered.
"I thought so." I nodded.
My mom left the room so that I could get dressed. For once I wasn't going to dress a way that would make my father angry. It did bother me though that he went to do something because he usually never went anywhere by himself cause it made him sad to be away from both me and my mother.
Anyway I threw on a pair of jeans and a red sweater. I knew this wouldn't upset my Dad. If anything it would make him happy because it would be something he would wear. That was the thing about my Dad though, he was so 1900s but I guess that's what I loved about him.
After I got dressed I left my room with my purse Alice had given me. I was still trying to get used to wearing it. My mom was sitting in our little kitchen waiting for me to come out. Once she saw me she stood up out of the chair she was sitting in.
"Ready, Renesmee?" she asked smiling.
"Unfortunately, if I have to." I nodded unhappily.
My mother and I walked out of the house together. I enjoyed my time I got to spend with my mom. She loved me just as much as I love her. If I could go to any one of my family members about anything it would be my mom because she cares more about me then anyone. I don't think my father's love for me is as much as my mom.
"What are you keeping away from me, Renesmee?" my mother asked me as we slowly walked through the woods.
"I'm not really keeping anything from anybody, mom." I said. "Except, I feel bad for B.T. because of his mother."
"I feel bad as well, Renesmee." my mom agreed. "It's not great to see your parents suffering."
"I remember. It wasn't great for you all those years ago, mom." I said remembering what had happened years ago to Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Renee.
"Yeah, I still haven't gotten over it." she said to me looking to the sky.
Then it all came back to my mind like it happened a few months ago. I was sitting on the couch watching T.V. My parents were out together. It was their Wedding anniversary. Aunt Rosalie was watching T.V. with me. I forget where Uncle Jasper and Emmett were but they took Jacob along with them.
In the middle of the show that Aunt Rosalie and I were watching, Alice ran downstairs silently but we could hear her. She waited for our show to go to a commercial. You could tell by her face that she had something to say.
"What did you see Alice?" Rosalie asked seeing Alice's expression.
"Bella isn't going to be happy when she finds out." Alice stated making me feel upset. If my mom wasn't going to be happy then I wasn't going to be happy.
"Is there something the matter, Alice?" Carlisle asked walking into the room.
"Yeah, it's Charlie and Renee. They've been in an accident." Alice answered hesitantly.
"Are they going to be alright?" Esme questioned joining in.
"No." was Alice's short answer.
Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Renee had gotten back together once they found out that my mother would never be the same again. I had only seen Renee a few times since then. The two were on a vacation. They were actually on their way back when the plane crashed. There were no survivors and no bodies found.
"Should we call my parents?" I asked kind of lost in thought at the time.
"No, we will wait until they return." Carlisle answered.
I didn't like this. I didn't know what it would feel like to lose someone I cared about. Now I know what it feels like. I had lost a pair of my grandparents. When my mother found out, she was silent for months, maybe even years but my father finally talked her back to reality.
""Renesmee, we're here." my mother said bringing me back to reality.
"Oh, that quick. I was just thinking and didn't even realize it." I replied as we walked into the house.
"Nessie. Bella." Alice skipped towards us once we were inside.
"Hi, Alice." my mom said laughing.
"Good morning, Alice." I said not happy about what was coming.
"Lucky for you, we are not doing a complete makeover." Alice sighed sadly.
"Well, that's good." I sighed in relief that it wasn't going to be as bad as I thought.
"We're just going shopping. I'm sure you and your mother can handle putting up with me for that." Alice explained in a cheery tone.
"Of course we can, Alice." my mother stated.
"Good, now let's go." Alice proclaimed as the three of us walked out to the garage.
A/N: I added a little action between Edward and this new Volturri vampire guard. How he had the advantage over Edward you will find out later. And now Renesmee has made it her mission to find out who this Spark guy is under his hood and sunglasses. And what exactly will Jacob say about B.T. when he returns from his vacation. Until next week.
