Chapter 2: ?

Grandpa's was a lot of fun. Sue and Seth came too. Once we got past the greetings my parents started talking with Grandpa Charlie about their plans to move, staying on our need-to-know basses.

I knew this had been coming for a long time now, but it still hurt to hear them planning our move. After all Forks was the only town I'd known.

For all the town of Forks knew my mother and father had gone to college in Alaska, then gone to some far-away place , with the rest of the Cullen's, to live their lives. While really, we've been here in our house hidden away from the people of forks for the last nine years – but I didn't mind and still don't.

From what my parents and Jacob have told me we're moving to a small town about two hour from Forks called Lacemen – my Dad thought that we needed to stay close to home for Charlie's sake. If anyone from our old lives were to settle there, Alice would know before they told anyone about the move and we would be gone.

But for some reason this all bothered me so. Would I see Jake as often now? He has a pack down in La Push that he has to stay with. He just can't drop everything to come see me. Or could he? I don't know. But I will find out.

Couldn't Leah take over the pack when he was gone? She is the Beta after all. Jacob Black is my friend - my best friend. And I now realize that I won't be able to see him as often. Maybe my Dad could do something- anything- to help my case.

I heard a knock on my bedroom door in my parents' cottage. I pushed all the negative thoughts out of my head.

"Come in" I instructed with just a hint of worry - I realized- in my voice. Alice danced through the door, "Why don't you come to the main house we all need to talk to you a little about the….future". If she did catch the worry in my voice she didn't acknowledge it.

I giggled. "Well I guess you should know all about that, I'll meet you there in a minute".

"Okay" she agreed and as she fled the room.

I stood very slowly, and walked to the front door, then opened it.

I walked out into the dampness of Forks, Washington.

I ran.

As I ran I thought of the things they could want to talk to me about. Would it be about the move? Would it be about School? I didn't know. That would be the 2nd thing on my agenda I'd soon find out.

My eyes were much unfocused as I ran, just seeing the green all around me. I didn't expect to see the river as soon as I did, I almost ran straight through it. I stopped just as I was about to step into it. I took four steps back and then ran the four steps I had taken back and leapt. I'd made it almost completely over the river when my feet hit the ground. The impact of hitting the ground so hard made me fall – flat on my face.

I heard muffled laughter from the house – they must be watching. The laughter didn't stop until I was to the front door –Emmett . I had definitely inherited some of my mom's characteristics –I was a klutz.

I stood up swiftly and sprinted to the back door. I opened it to find everyone there - Granma Esme, Grampa Carlise, Mom, Dad, Uncle Emmett, Aunt Rosale, Uncle Jasper, Aunt Alice, and Jacob.

They all just stared , with the exception of Jacob, who smiled warmly and came forward to give me a hug. His warm arms wrapped around my waist as he pulled me closer, into one of his famous bear hugs. I sensed this hug was….. Special- its meant more - but what I couldn't sense was why.

My father cleared his throat.

Jacobs' warm arms left me. It seemed unusually cold after that. I stepped to the side just in time to see Dad give Jake a look of warning.

" Edward. Calm down," my mother whispered thinking I wouldn't hear. But my father knew I had heard the remark and seen the glare, but he did not acknowlegde it for some reason unknown to me.

Uncle Jasper stepped up sensing the uneasyness in the room, and most likely my curiosity and confusion.

"Renesmee, don't be confused. It's quite simple. We have called you here to talk about your new school".

Great here it goes.

This time Grampa Carlise spoke, "Renesmee, when you start school you will have to tell your story exactly how we tell you to, otherwise our cover will be blown. Dr. and Mrs. Cullen have adopted Jasper and Rosalie as twins, Emmett , Alice, and Bella are all from different foster homes. Edward and yourself are bother and sister. Now Renesmee you must remember this information perfectly."

I nodded.

"Eh a Doc. You forgot me, " Jake said.

Dad growled. Emmett chuckled.

" Oh yes it seems I have ,Jacob. My apologizes. You will be posing as a foreign exchange student, that come and goes often to visit his family in Canada," Carlisle said ignoring dad's outbreak.

Jake is coming with us! I knew Dad would have picked up on my worries. But he comes and goes often. I didn't know how to feel about that.

" Also sweetie you must call myself Bella, and your Father Edward," Mom stated.

" You can't become to close with any of the humans either - it's too dangerous ," Esme informed me.

Mom looked at dad and smiled.

" And it'd be best for the family if you didn't attend school when the rest of cannot ," Rosalie spoke fo the first time.

"I can remember."

" Renesmee, that is all we need to talk about for now. We're all going hunting would you like to come?," my mom asked me.

" Actually, I really want to try and eat normal food. You know, to start to practice for school."

She smiled. "Okay, we'll all be back tomorrow night."

"Hey since I'm the only other one here who can eat human food, so I'll stay here with Nessie ," Jacob said smoothly.

Three different emotions flashed across Dad's face. First rage terrible, terrible rage. The second was irritation and the third was determinatation.

" I'll stay too. I'll get some local game. I need to stay and take care of some moving details," Dad said lightly.

I was confused. What moving details could Dad possibly have to take care of? The new house was built and furnished. We all have already been enrolled at Lacemen High, what could he possibly have to do? Why did he want to stay?

What do you have to do Dad? I thought.

Dad flashed me a silencing look - I didn't talk, he ment in my thoughts.

" Edward! Your thirsty your eyes are black, you need to come with us," Mom whispered.

Then my Mom must have taken her shield down so Dad could hear her thoughts.

Dad glared at Jacob. Jacob glared back.

" Fine. I will go on the trip, Bella," Dad said turning back to Mom.

" We love you Renesmee. See you tomorrow night ," She said giving me a kiss on the forehead.

" I love you Nessie," Dad told me as he kissed my forehead.

Mom and Dad left and everyone else followed after giving me hugs.
