Chapter 1: The Early Years

I wasn't a normal baby, but I was never normal anyway. My Mom would tell me stories on how I talk only seven days after I was born. Only after a couple of months of the day I was born I could walk, read, run, hunt, and perform other tasks at an advance level. I'm apparently a very smart child, but I don't feel like it. I feel more of an outcast or a freak. My Mom said I am a treasured gift and that I am the special treasure that my Dad and her needed. My Aunt Rosalie once told me that I almost killed my Mom the day I was born. I never told my Mom Aunt Rosalie told me this, because my Mom would end up killing her.

My name is Renesmee Cullen, but sometimes I go by the nickname Nessie. It's very rare now that people call me that, but when I was younger they called me Nessie a lot. I have curly brown hair that is shoulder length, brown eyes, and pale white skin. What is unique about me is that I am half vampire and half human. Yes, I know it's weird. It is not a thing to say around people you don't know, but it is what makes me unique. I am a vampire, but I don't just drink blood I can eat human food. Some human food is rather tasty, but I enjoy blood more. Since I'm half human I do pump blood which gives me a red flush in my cheeks against my pale white skin.

My Dad is a vampire and my Mom at the time was human. When I was inside my Mom's stomach I was killing her for I was too strong to be in a human. When I was born I basically killed my Mom. My Dad had to change my Mom into a vampire so she wouldn't die. Aunt Rosalie told me all this and I can understand why my Mom would be upset that I would find this out. Even though Aunt Rosalie did tell me this I would most likely find out in time. I have a certain power and most vampire's do have powers. I have two powers that I know of which is I can transmit thought to people by touching their skin and I can penetrate shields. The penetrate shield is something I don't use to much, but I do enjoy touching people's hands and talking to them when I don't want someone to hear me. I use it a lot with Aunt Rosalie, Aunt Alice, and my friend Jacob.

Jacob is my friend, but he is also very good friends with my Mom. Jacob told me that he did fall in love with my Mom once, but my Mom's heart belonged to my Dad's. Which is good, because I don't see Jacob being my Dad. Jacob is the one who came up with my nickname Nessie, so I call him Wolf. The reason why I call Jacob is because he is a werewolf. He belongs to the Quileute Native American and he is a shape-shifter and doesn't need a full moon to transform. Jacob is a great friend of mine and he has strong feelings for me. Aunt Alice told me that he has imprint me, which means I'm his soul mate. When I was little I would call him, "My Jacob" and I would be the only person to bite him. Now I'm only seventeen years old so I feel having a soul mate right now is way too soon. I do enjoy Jacob, but I don't know about soul mates yet. Aunt Alice told me he imprinted me once he saw me, which is very sweet. I explain to Jacob now that we are only friends.

My Mom feared that I would not be immortal for I am half human, but we learned that once I turn seventeen I stop aging. The only bad thing about this is that I will look like my Mom and Dad's sister rather then their child. They said that they will always be my parents but when we have to tell people who we are they will say I am Grandmother and Grandfather's daughter so our secret is not blown. It really is hard to stay in one place when none of us age over time. When living at Forks, Washington in such a small town everyone knows everybody. My Grandpa Charlie who is my Mom Dad didn't know my Mom's secret for a long time, but in time my Mom did explain what happened which angered Aunt Rosalie, but it was necessary.

Back when I was two years old I looked like the age of five my family was thinking of moving away for I was growing way too old. My parents used to take me for walks, but since my aging was so drastic we couldn't have people see me. My parents told Grandpa Charlie thought I was adopted right after my parents honeymoon and they have no idea that I am his true grandchild. I think my Grandpa Charlie did know though, he could tell when he looked into my eyes.

My Mom dressed me up in a pink dress with a cute pink bow in my hair with black marry janes on my feet. I remember my Mom had to cut my hair very short and she had to hold me like I couldn't walk. Even though she was trying to hide my age, it didn't work as well, because Grandpa Charlie still questioned about my appearance.

"What are you doing to this child, Bella? Are you feeding her growth hormones or something? Renesmee is growing so big and she is only what, six months?" Grandpa Charlie was holding me on his lap and bouncing me up and down on his one knee.

"Dad, I am surprised myself how big she is getting. The doctor is saying she is healthy and growing just fine though." My Mom lied through her teeth.

My Mom and Dad sat on the couch across from my Grandpa Charlie and were holding hands which I always loved to see. I wanted to touch my Grandpa Charlie's hand at the time to tell him how I loved it, but my Mom told me to never use my powers around Grandpa Charlie for he wouldn't understand it.

"Well, as long as the girl is healthy." Grandpa Charlie curled my curly hair with his fingers. "I just can't believe how big she is getting. Your Mom called me the other day. You still haven't contact her since your honey moon?"

"No, I know she knows she is a Grand mom." My Mom was very muffled when she spoke about it.

My Grand mom Renee I never met till I was seventeen years old. She lived in Jacksonville, Florida with my Mom's step father. She doesn't come back to Forks, because it where she used to live. She hated living in Forks for it brought her down and she never came back. Grand mom Renee was my Mom's best friend, so my Mom knows that when she looks at her, she will know my Mom is different in appearance. My Mom was always pale from what my Dad tells me, but her eyes changed into a bright yellow. Aunt Alice suggested contacts so she could visit Grand mom Renee, but my Mom didn't see her till I was seventeen.

"You should give her a call, Bella. She misses you like crazy. You have to tell her about Renesmee. She has part of your Mom's name in her name. I feel it's only fair." Charlie bounced me up and down and I let out a small childish giggle.

"Bella just doesn't feel ready. She is afraid her Mom is going to be upset that she didn't know sooner about having a grandchild." My Dad told Grandpa Charlie as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"That is my point exactly, Edward. Renee is going to get upset if she doesn't find out sooner. Little Renesmee isn't getting younger."

He turned me around on his lap and looked into my eyes. I looked back into his and gave him a cute smile. He wasn't old enough to look like a Grandpa. His hair was starting to have white in it and wrinkles were on his face, but he was no where near to the age of being a Grandpa.

"Dad, we didn't just come here for a visit. We have some news to tell you." My Mom was looking sad and I didn't even know the news at the time.

"What is on your mind, Bell?" Grandpa Charlie held me close and I rested my head along his chest. I could hear his heart beating and the beat of his heart was faster then normal.

"Edward is trying to follow in the foot steps of Carlisle of being a doctor. So Edward plans to go to college. The only thing is he got accepted in Alaska University. Since he is going there I need to follow him for I can not raise Renesmee on my own." Bella looked at Grandpa Charlie and waited for him to give a response. Charlie was silent as he held me close to him.

"Alaska University is far away, Bella. Are you three just going is the whole Cullen clan going? You can stay here while Edward is at school. He will come back when it is breaks and such. The whole Cullen family can help you." Grandpa Charlie was holding onto me and I was nervous on how tight his grip was.

"Mr. Swan, my whole family is coming along. Emmet and Alice were accepted as well. So my whole family has decided to join us." My Dad calmly said. My Dad never really had emotions and was always the same around other people. When my Dad is round my Mom he is passionate, when he is around the family he is playful and happy, and when he is around me my Mom can not explain the emotion she sees for she has never seen it.

"Will you come back during breaks, Bells? I just met my Grandchild and your going to pack up and leave with her? I really think you can stay here while Edward goes to school.

"Dad, please. I know you want Sue Clearwater to move in with you. If Renesmee and I live here it will be too crowded for you two. We will come to visit, Dad. I am going to support Edward with his college and he needs to help raise Renesmee with me. I'm sorry, Dad." My Mom always shows emotion and when it is always about her Dad it is always sad.

"Well, your not a little kid anymore, Bells. I guess I can't stop you. It is true Sue is moving in with me as well. I guess your right that the house would be too crowded here, but I don't want you to leave Forks." Grandpa Charlie was holding me close and I wanted to tell him everything would be ok, but my Mom told me not to. "Just promise me you will come back to visit and promise me you will talk to you Mom before you go." He stood up and walked me over to my Mom and placed me in his arms.

"I promise, Dad." My Mom said with a smile, but I knew she was sad. I placed my tiny hand on her hand and closed my eyes.

"Alaska? Alaska? We are going to Alaska?" I asked my Mom through are thoughts. My Mom ignored me though for we were around Grandpa Charlie.

When the visit was over my parents placed me in the child seat in the back of my Dad's Volvo. My parents sat in the front seat and my Dad held onto my Mom's hand. If my Mom could cry I bet she would of right there.

"We are not going to Alaska." My Mom finally told me which had by Dad turn around and look at me. "We are most likely going to Chicago for two reasons. One we need to have you try school and train you in your powers and hunting. The second reason is there is a new vampire in Chicago that goes by the name of Amber and your Grandfather wants to have her join our family." My Mom told me and my Dad was nodding to what she was saying slowly.

"My Jacob?" I asked suddenly which startled my Mom.

"Jacob will not be going with us. I am sorry sweetie." My Mom said sounded just as hurt. Since I was a little girl I start to cry and I wailed. Jacob was mine and now I am not going to see him everyday in my life. I didn't know how Jacob was going to react that I would be moving and I don't think anyone else in my family knew how he would react either.
