Chapter Five

Twilight…

Renesmee Cullen

Valentine's Day, a holiday made by hallmark. Valentine's Day reminds people how suck it is to be single. Especially if it is being rubbed in their faces.

But this year isn't so bad.

"Yes I'll go." I heard Nahuel agree to something that someone asked him.

Yes what? He's going where? I felt a certain monster crawl up my spine that wanted to hurt someone.

"Hello, earth to Renesmee," someone yelled at my face.

My dad elbowed on my ribs softly trying to get me back to reality away from day dreaming. I don't know if he hit me because Ashley Turner wanted my attention or because he doesn't like what I'm thinking. Either way, it was annoying.

"Yeah?" I asked after I glared at Edward.

Ashley just giggled; she always liked the fact that My dad and I fight a lot. "I was saying, if you were going to Christina's Valentine's Day party on Friday." She asked again.

I bit my bottom lip, oh yeah. That cringing holiday is on Friday and bad thing is I cant go because I had something already planned that day. On the corner of my eye I noticed Dad smiling, as if he was happy that I am not going to be able to go to the party.

"Nahuel is going he said," Christina Dale added in a persuasive voice. As if Nahuel's decision would cause me to back up with my plan.

I noticed Dad and Ashley reacted about the same way to Christina's statement. I understand dad since I don't think he wants me to date anyone ever. But Ashley's reaction surprised me, she looked annoyed at something. Nahuel's friends are the kind of popular kids at school. He started hanging out with them when he and Ashley were paired up in one drama class he told me once…

And then it hit me. Ashley liked him. And Nahuel is oblivious to all of this… because, well he's a guy. Plus he's never been around other people to know if someone was interested in him. But I thought Ashley had a thing for dad….

I noticed dad choking on his water that he was trying to pretend to drink. He was coughing up a laugh. Of course he knows all of this, I looked at him knowingly. He just looked back and smiled innocently. I could hear Ashley's heartbeat go faster as she saw his smile.

I grinned. Alright, this little girl had a thing for vampires. Of course she thinks my dad is good looking, and she liked Nahuel first… but as she can see Nahuel isn't interested. So she's trying to go to the person who is obviously single.

He slightly moved his shoulders shrugging, answering my inquiries about Ashley's school girl crush. Alice kicked me from across the table, she was eyeing me carefully probably knowing that I was talking to dad. She notices too much. But I just smiled at her and looked back at Ashley who was trying to give me a fake smile. I'm beginning to think that this girl just likes me because I know good looking guys…

I smiled back at Ashley saying, "I can't go… I have to audition for BBC on Friday." I said trying to sound bummed, even though I was too excited to go to my audition even though it meant that I cant celebrate Valentine's day again.

"Oh yeah, it's on Friday isn't it…" Rosalie said sounding sad that I wasn't able to go. She did sort of still trying to get over the fact that I do enjoy ballet. Rosalie as girly girl as she was… never really enjoyed dancing.

Alice and I started doing ballet when I turned ten since I was so interested in it for some reason. But Alice quit ballet a few weeks later after we joined. Alice never found it challenging because being graceful was already a gift that you have when you become a vampire. I mean I was graceful, but since I was Half-immortal I had half the grace that my dad has and the clumsiness of my mom…(that's what Jasper teases me for anyways.) And ballet did help me became as graceful as my vampire family… maybe a little bit more. But something else made me stay in ballet, like dancing was a way to express myself… express certain emotions that I can't let out by just feeling them. I fell in love with dancing, and I was still confused at times why I had a strong connection to it.

"Well, Rosalie and I were going to help out with the decorations for the party. And your not even joining us," Alice rolled her eyes at me. Of course she knows I didn't really need to audition since I was invited to join the company and didn't apply for it.

"Come on now… You don't even need to audition Resme," Jasper said teasingly. Resme, that's Jasper's special nickname to me, since he thinks that my name was too long. He never uses it as much since it doesn't annoy me as much anymore. But when he uses it, my next statements were usually What do you want now? "If you show up, and show all your talents… you're just going to make all those ballet dancers be insecure." He raised an eyebrow at me grinning like a fool.

Emmett laughed so loud that Christina's boyfriend, Mike, who was seated beside him, jumped from his seat and covered his ears as if he heard an explosion.

I just glowered at Jasper. He knows that Nessie and Renesmee are two different people, and I never want them to collide. I just don't want to be treated like a dancer all the time. I had that once and I hated it. Everyone just liked me because I was a good dancer and not because I was a good friend. I'm going to kill you… I touched his mind threatening him.

He smiled back showing his ultra white teeth and then sent a wave of laughter through everyone with his talent making sure to hit me with the most of it… and we all started to laugh that crazy people for no reason at all.

"Cheater," I muttered under my breath.

And Emmett's booming laugh told me that Jasper didn't need to persuade him to laugh… since Emmett thinks I'm hilarious. I have really awesome family… even though I'm the butt of their jokes. And this time dad laughed his real laugh too.

Nahuel and I just walked quietly to our Biology II class as usual. But this time the silence we shared was an awkward one. I mean, it wasn't me… it's him. I can feel it.

By the time classes started he never said a word at all. Something was eating him alive and I want to know what it was.

I looked behind me to know from dad what that boy's problem was. But Dad just looked back at me as if he couldn't read my mind. Over protective parent again…

He just smiled and continued arguing with Rosalie about how dad should go to the party on friend even though I'm not going. She said he needs the social life as much as I do, and I think that annoyed him more.

And the talk of the party made Nahuel stiff again, and mild annoyance played on his beautiful face. I just looked at him this time, making sure he'd see that I was glaring at him so he'd look back since he's trying to avoid me on purpose. He finally spoke, it was barely audible that it took me a few seconds to make out his words, "So, your not going on Friday?" he finally looked at me, and his ancient looked disappointed and sad.

I couldn't help but smile, I felt bad ofcourse. But, Nahuel who is almost a two centuries old is acting like a normal teenage boy that the girl he likes (yes, I can assume he likes me.) isn't going to this party that he agreed to go, thinking she's going.

I patted his back softly and quickly so that the teacher wouldn't see it, "It's alright Nahuel, and you're going to have a lot of fun. You won't even notice that I'm not there." I whispered. And boy, did I want to bite my tongue. Why did I even say that? I didn't want him to notice I'm not there.

I smiled again when he looked at me warily. And then he just smiled back, "I guess," he shrugged then looked back at his notes to start listening to the teacher.

I playfully pushed him, "That's the spirit." I said enthusiastically. I just looked away from him and bit my bottom lip to prevent me from saying anything stupid again.

And that moment Friday couldn't have gone that fast. Before I knew it, school was finally over. Almost everyone in my classes was talking about their plans with their special someone for Valentine's Day or about how they are going to have a lot of fun at Christina's party tonight.

Was I jealous? Of course I was. I wanted to go to the party, but my audition starts at seven and to show how fate loves me so much; the party starts around the same time too. I don't know how long the audition would be. In the hand out, we had to learn a few dances to see how our skill level would be at. As usual in some prestigious ballet company they have to sort students out: Freshman Level, Sophomore level, Junior Level and Senior level.

In the letter they did tell me that they were just going to add me to the Junior level or Senior level depending on what I wanted to join in. But I wanted to be fair; I wanted to audition like other students would. People respect you more when you do the right system.

"Are you going straight to the party from here?" I asked my dad when he parked his car in front of the ballet studio.

"Unfortunately yes," he sighed and then he grimaced when he remembered something. "Alice threatened to kill me. While Jasper and Emmett swore that they would make up an embarrassing childhood story about me. And I mean a cute one…" he pinched the bridge of his nose as he growled a little bit in annoyance.

I tried really hard not to laugh, but I was unsuccessful. Wow, I never knew that dad was always bullied a lot by his brothers for peer pressure. "I'm sure you'll have fun dad." I giggled, "Alice's parties are usually…" I paused trying to think of the right word. Alice has thrown a few parties around when she and I would go to school together, and always on my birthday and every year there would be a theme. "Interesting," I managed to say without laughing.

He frowned, "That is what I'm afraid of,"

Grinning like a fool, I patted his shoulder comfortingly. "You are going to have lots of fun. Just give them that adorable smile and it would be alright." Then I winked, I punched his chin playfully and then held on the door handle ready to open the door.

"Hey Renesmee." He called before I hopped out of the car.

"Yeah dad?"

"Happy Valentine's day kiddo," he said as he leaned on and planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

I grinned, "Thanks dad," and then I got out of the car.

How easily I forget that this building was amazing. The ballet studio… the building looks like it's only a decade old at least, but the design made look like it was as ancient as my dad. (That would have been funnier if my dad heard me.) And the building was huge too; sure it was only two stories high. But the building was wide… and I figured this Studio could hold at least a hundred people. Of course the building across this one was the actual Ballet Company. Where students or high school graduates decide that they just want to dance their entire life, from enjoying dancing since they were younger.

I didn't look at that. I was too mesmerized by the beautiful building in front of me. Ballet Studios always amazes me… and sad to say I was the only one on the family who did. I knew the reason why. That was when my mother almost died from some sadistic vampire wanting revenge.

I was too caught up with my thoughts that when I finally reached at the end of the hall, I almost jumped when someone greeted me.

"Hello," a lady with perfect golden curls and bright blue eyes greeted me with a warm smile. She was a short lady, about as short as Alice. She was carrying a clipboard. "Name please…"

"Nessie Cullen," I said with a huge smile on my face.

She looked at the clipboard and started muttering my name again and again to double check if its there. She frowned when she wasn't successful.

"It's Renesmee Cullen actually," I said in a whisper trying to sound calm even though I was panicking inside.

She looked up from her clipboard and widens her eyes. She was either stunned or worried. Either way I don't like the look she's giving me. "Um, one second." And then she disappeared on the door behind her before I could say anything.

About a minute later she came back and had a tentative smile on her face. "If you walk over," she pointed to an empty hallway across from her. "Someone will be with you."

I was about to open my mouth to protest that I am who I am (if that makes any sense). But I just kept my mouth shut and walked away from her and from the curious students who started to arrive.

A few seconds later a very tall, thin and graceful lady who looks like in her mid 40s walked towards me. Her gracefulness awed me and if it wasn't for her heartbeat I would think she is a vampire. She is your stereotypical ballet dancer. She plastered a big fake smile on her face. "Miss Renesmee Cullen," she greeted with a quick nod. "I'm Ileana Strear."

"Call me Nessie please," I corrected her nicely. "Miss Stear," I added and then smile the biggest smile my lips can produce (of course with out scaring her.)

She smiled again, but she looked annoyed that I corrected her. "Nessie, Miss Cullen." She said through her teeth sweetly, "Did you know that you didn't need to Audition today," she said in a firm voice, her thick Irish accent took me a second to understand her.

Whoa, this lady is starting to annoy me. "No, I did not know that." I said innocently, I was lying though my teeth.

She crossed her arms on her chest and frowned, "Well, we did send you a letter. We were going to go a head and add you on the Senior level. I know you're only sixteen but I was going to go ahead and pull a few strings for you." She said excitedly and then she smiled… a real smile this time. That smile is a scary smile, like read between the lines kind of smile.

I tried to bite my tongue not to say anything tactless but a few words already escaped my lips. "No, I didn't receive a letter. And even if I did I will still audition." I said coolly.

She raised an eyebrow and the faked a smile. "I'm sorry if you haven't received the letter. But if you have other plans tonight you can do that." she paused, "Or you can join the students if you want to." She said in a harsh tone.

I didn't even hesitate, "Auditioning was my plan tonight,"

She nodded, "Alright, I'll tell Lily…" she said through her teeth. She flitted to Lily, the little lady with the clipboard. They briefly looked at me and the Lily wrote my name on the clipboard.

"Enjoy Miss Cullen," Ileana said without even making eye contact, disappearing behind me I could hear her muttering about my attitude.

"Hello Nessie," Lily greeted excitedly. "You are going to be in group three."

I bit my bottom lip wanting to ask something, but then she probably knew what question I have because she said, "There are second people in your group. Out of ten."

Wow, ten groups. There are going to be at least seventy kids behind that door. "Thanks," I said as I gripped on my duffle bag for support. I loved dancing but I always hate a crowd.

When I opened the door I swear I felt like I was deaf with how much noise it is in here. I should see this coming, being half-immortal and my senses being more sensitive than mortals. With this much noise I should have heard this when I entered this building. But I only heard muffled noises, which would mean that this room is sound proof. Now, I'm totally amused.

"Renesmee!" I heard someone yell my name from across the huge room. I had to stay really still and not create such movement that would show that I heard her. It was impossible for mortal ears to hear her.

I walked towards the voice making no eye contact with the person who just called me… twice now. When I accidentally looked up I didn't feel guilty because I was close enough to where she would ask how I heard her, but with her excitement to see me I wouldn't think she would even notice.

Freya Charistia, a girl about my height with shoulder length jet-black hair and huge dark brown eyes, was waving a huge hi at me. She seemed stunned yet very happy to see me. Freya is one of the many girls that hang out with Nahuel's friends—my friends now, too.

But she is one of the few people that my dad liked in our group. She is really nice, sweet and totally cool. She rarely hangs out at our table because she has a lot of friends in campus. And when she does hang out that is when her boyfriend Mark who is Christina's twin brother wanted to hang out with the larger crowd…

She finally caught up to me and when she did she took my hand and started jumping enthusiastically. (Oh and did I mention that this girl was a very cheerful girl and has the case of hyperactivity?) Then she hugged me which startled me a bit. "Oh, my god Renesmee why didn't you tell me that you're a ballet dancer?"

"You never asked," I laughed as I patted her back before she and I broke apart. "And call me Nessie," I said smoothly.

She frowned; "You're Nessie Cullen?" she asked the obvious, shocked. She was basically talking to herself confirming information. "Why are you here? You don't need to audition." She said as a matter of factly.

I tried my best not to glower at her, but I groaned in frustration though. "Why does everyone keep saying that?" I demanded, annoyed now.

She just laughed a loud laugh the people around us fell quiet for a second before making noise again. "I'm sorry," she said breathlessly. She took a deep breath trying to look serious but I can still see the humor in her face, She flipped her hair away from her face. "Because, the company invited you to join in that is why." And then she started to burst into laughter again that she had to hold on to me for balance.

I grinned, her laugh was contagious. "What is so funny?" I whispered to her harshly since the other students around us started to stare at us like she and I were crazy.

"I was just imagining Ileana's face when you told her you wanted to audition." She said between her hysterical laughter.

I tried to remember the director's face, I was too annoyed at first to remember her. But I laughed with Freya. Ileana looked pissed yet trying unsuccessfully to hide the fact that she was, and that fake smile of hers. And come to think of it, that old lady looked like a frog.

"Aright, Go to your respective groups please." The ballet mistress said through the intercom of the studio. And at that the entire room's noise level became chaotic as students started to ask what group each other was in. I observed the room, if I was in group three that would either mean I would be in the far left or far right. I was about to walk to the far right when Freya dragged me to the left.

Of course a mortal would be able to drag me that easily, if I wanted to stop walking she would feel like she was pulling a wall. I just let her drag me, I leaned toward her and whispered in her ear, "Where are you talking me?"

She smirked, "I heard Ileana told Lily that you are going to be in group three, too." She said as she and I stopped walking. She nodded to another girl that I'm assuming is our group mates. "That's why you and I clicked that fast… you and I have something in common." She winked at me.

The entire night just became a blur. Every time I would dance it always seemed like there three hours for me is just a few minutes. As they all would say, all good things come to an end. And time flies when we are having fun!

I didn't even realize it was over until the Ballet Mistress said that the results would come out in a week.

"I guess I don't even need to make an appearance at that party." Freya said in a low but excited voice.

I looked at her for a second and then my watch, its almost eleven pm. Then I realized the party is over now. I learned that Christina and Mark Dale can have a party at their house as many times in a week if they wanted to. As long as their pool house was empty and clean by midnight. Talk about spoiled.

"You seem excited," I mused.

She raised an eyebrow at me as if I was crazy, "Of course… it's Valentine's day and I want to spend it with Mark and not some party crowd." She took her car keys from her bag and wiggled it in front of me. "I can give you a ride to the party if you want… I'm sure you're family is still there. Being the cleaning crew and all."

I grimaced; I didn't want to go to that party at all. "No, I can call my Dad to pick me up." I bit my lip before I thought I about it… wait she doesn't know that Edward is my dad… she thinks Carlisle is. I forgot about that.

"Alright, if you say so. See you Monday." And then she dashed off to the parking lot.

I sat on the stair in front of the building frowning. I could have driven here myself but Emmett thought it was awesome if he was going to add something to make my car cooler. Of course after I told him that I didn't care to have anything else in my car since I am not really into vehicles as my family was. As long as I have a car that can run as fast then I'm good.

But Emmett had to be sneaky about it and broke my car in the process since he had no idea what he was doing. So Rosalie said that my baby will be back as new but in a week time.

And dad didn't really want me driving his car after that accident I had a few years back, lets just say that even though I'm not really that much into cars, I still had a need for speed and dad had the fastest car in the garage. And I don't really want to go on any details… but that night ended with people to racing, winning the race and a twenty over the speed limit ticket.

I just looked up at the full moon. Twilight, I thought quietly. That's what it is tonight, The start of the day for us never aging immortals. Father explained to me what this meant for us vampires. He always said that this time of the day makes him feel alone.

So here I am, alone... and alone again for Valentine's day. Every single year I end up driving by myself since no body wants to spend it with me. Guys get so intimidated to ask me at school, I left dad alone because like me he never get to spend Valentine's day either. Cause every Valentine's day he had no mom. I don't care as much but when other people start rubbing it in my face I get so annoyed I want to bite them.

And as if on cue, four students stepped out of the building across the road. And not just any four students but two couples. One pair had their hands on each other as if public display of affection was a complete turn on for both of them, (that couple reminds me of Emmett and Rosalie). The other two seemed to be more subtle, they are just holding hands but the way they both glow of happiness shows that they are inlove, (kind of like Alice and Jasper.) They were walking out of the building with perfect grace, they must be students of the company.

I rolled my eyes, I knew this would happen just my luck to feel alone on this day. I am going to kill Emmett for touching my car.

"Hey slow poke! Hurry up!" The taller guy with dark reddish hair called from behind him as he wrapped his arms around his perfect Barbie girlfriend.

"Be nice, she didn't want to go out tonight but you begged her to," the other girl protested, she waived her straight black hair away from her shoulders and hit him in the face. I didn't know how that was possible but her hair was just too long that it actually reached him.

"Here she is," the Barbie girlfriend said in a sing song voice.

I followed their gaze and the entrance door opened, a girl about my height with beautiful brown hair and with certain grace that awed me for a few seconds walked out of the building. She was reading a book and wasn't even looking away from her book to look at the steep stairs. She was just walking, graceful and all as if she memorized every step of the stairwell. From the light of the moon I could see that she was so beautiful. I could barely see her face because she was covering it with the book.

"When I said I didn't want to go, I didn't. So if I want to take my sweet time… then I can," she said sarcastically to her friends. Her voice suited her too, it sounded like beautiful musical bells.

I was just staring at her when she and her friends started laughing, she looks familiar. Have I seen her before? Her strange voice even made my heart tingle a bit… I touched my chest feeling my heart beat.

I was so engrossed by her presence that when someone touched my shoulder I jumped, startled. When I turned my eyes landed on dark brown eyes with a wary smile.

"I'm sorry if I scared you," Nahuel muttered under his breath.

I shook my head. I laughed, "You just caught me by surprise that's all." I looked into his eyes for a few seconds and I looked past him to see if the interesting girl was still there. They weren't there anymore, and in the darkness I heard laughter and a car accelerating. They left already.

He noticed that I was looking past him he turned, when he saw nothing he looked at me and smiled. "How was your night?"

I frowned at him, I didn't need to answer that. He knows I always have fun when it has something to do with music. "What are you doing here?"

"Well," he paused and then he raised an eyebrow at me. "Alice said you're done. Edward was stuck cleaning the house, so Rosalie said that I should pick you up," he said smugly, as if something else happened that night that he didn't seem he wanted to share. He raised his hand up offering to help me up.

I stared at his palm. I was curious at first why he was here, that was a good excuse but sure there was some reason for this. I grinned, of course he had the talk with my dad already. It's obvious with that very good looking smile of his that always says something else. I eyed him curiously, "How was the party?" I asked. I took his hand and let him help me up.

When he raised me up, it took me by surprise he did it so fast that the next half a second my face was so close to him, my nose was touching his cheek. I was on a step so I was at eye level to him. I gulped a bit nervous, I was never this close to him. I could hear the pitterpater of his heart beat same rhythm as mine. Fast yet steady.

"You were wrong you know," He whispered. His wonderful scent blew on my lips making me shiver, "I did notice you weren't there. The entire time I wanted you there with me." He said fiercely. I could barely hear him that if I wasn't looking at his perfect lips I wouldn't know what he was saying.

When I looked up, his eyes were on fire. Determination written all over it, I noticed him glance on my lips for a second, which was at least an inch away from his own. Then he leaned in closing the space that he and I shared. He softly brushed his lips on mine.

My first kiss.

He cupped my face with his hand and smiled. I was about to lean in and kiss him again but his lips landed on my forehead instead. I groaned mentally, alright this was my father's doing. He might have allowed Nahuel to pick me up, but I'm sure Edward warned Nahuel to take things slow since I'm at least over a hundred years younger than him.

And to break this awesome chemistry; my stomach gave a soft rumbled, betraying me. Nahuel smirked at this. He parted away from me for a few centimeters and mumbled on my forehead, "Do we mind if we ate out tonight, food at that house kind of not my thing."

I giggled, of course that was a lie. He just wanted to find an excuse to feed me. Ever since I knew Nahuel, we never really dinned in anywhere. When he would visit me we would always go on a hunt, make it a friendly competition. But now is a special night… "Yeah, that would be nice." I said quietly.

He ran his hands down my arm and intertwined his fingers with mine. "Happy Valentine's day, Renesmee."

Yep, I knew this isn't so bad.
