New Acquaintances
Sweet Dreams
3rd Person POV
Christopher carried a drifting Renesmee out of the locker room to meet up with Edward.
"Is she okay?" Edward asked him worriedly at vampire speed.
"Yeah, I just think it's been a very long day for her." Christopher replied.
They walked with each other to the parking lot where Edward's family was waiting in their car.
"I think my father should check her out. Puking blood is generally not normal." Edward stated.
"Sure, I'm getting worried about her too, and She has been sleeping far much more than normal." Christopher said, "I'll follow your car then."
"Okay." Edward replied while opening the passenger door of their black Audi R8, so that Christopher could lay Renesmee down on the seat. Edward then went back and got into the drivers seat of his Volvo.
"Nice car." Rosalie gawked.
"Rose, Stop drooling and I'll buy you one for Christmas." Emmet Said.
"So Edward, do you have a thing for the human?" Rosalie joked. Immediately making Edward think of Bella. Alice noticed his sadness and quickly changed the subject.
"Did you see how that vile Newton kid acted toward her? Such a great way to introduce her to our school." She said with disgust in her voice.
"At least you didn't have to listen to the creeps thoughts." Edward whispered. The rest of the car ride was spent in silence. They reached the house. The house that Edward despises so much, because it holds the majority of his memories of Bella.
The family went into the house, while Edward headed toward the oncoming car. Edward felt a strange attraction to Renesmee. He wanted to protect her from anything that may harm her.
Christopher got out of the car and picked up Renesmee to bring her inside. She had slept all the way to the house, only stirring once when he first placed her in the car. He gently lifted her off the seat and walked with Edward into the house. They entered the doorway and were greeted by all 6 vampires.
"Christopher, I would like you to meet my parents Carlisle and Esme." Edward said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Christopher greeted politely.
"It's lovely to meet you too, dear. Here you can lie her down on the couch." Esme said. They retired to the living room and he gently laid her down on the leather couch. Alice retrieved a pillow and snuck it under Renesmee's head.
They left her in the living room and went to sit at the breakfast table in the kitchen.
"Do you think she is going to be hungry when she wakes up?" Esme asked.
"Umm…she might. I don't think she really ate lunch." Christopher replied.
"Oh I think she ate lunch alright. Did you see how much she threw up?'' Edward questioned.
"Well from what I glance at, it looked like dinner from last night a breakfast." Carlisle and Edward looked at him in shock.
"Does she have a stomach problem? That should have been digested long ago." Carlisle asked.
"Oh, well you see she's not exactly all human." Christopher started. "See her father was a vampire and her mother was a human. So I'm guessing that she wouldn't digest like a normal human would." He went on to tell them.
Rosalie gasped "How is that possible?"
"I'm really not too sure. I only met Renesmee 70 years ago, and as far as I know she doesn't really know either."
"Where are her parents?" Esme asked.
"Her father, well…I have no clue where he is. We're not even sure of his name. And her mother committed suicide 50 years ago."
"Oh no!" Alice yelled a little too loud making Renesmee stir.
"Shh," Edward said "We don't want to disturb her; she's had a rough day."
"Why did she kill herself?" Alice asked.
"Well for as long as I have known her, she has been morbidly depressed. Renesmee has told me everything that she can remember, even from when she was in the womb. It amazes me that she remembers that, but anyway she told me that her father had told her mother that he did not love her and that he made a promise that she would never see him again. I have a feeling that what he said to her mother not only affected her mother, but also brought her self worth down. Her mother ended up going into her deep depression and basically every night we spent listening to her screams and mumblings of random things. Renesmee actually ended up having to give up her piano playing for many years, because her mother would end up screaming at her and then bursting in a mad fit."
Everyone stayed quiet trying to take it all in. Esme finished making soup for Renesmee, and it seemed that everyone was speechless.
"I'm not sure if she would have wanted me to tell you all of this, but I think for her it would be easier if everyone already knew so that she wouldn't have to relive her memories. Please, unless she brings it up try to avoid talking about her mother. I can tell that she still hasn't gotten over her death." He added.
"Don't worry, we only have her best interests in mind." Edward genuinely spoke, "Do you mind if I ask you a few questions though?" he asked
"Of course." Christopher said.
"Well…I noticed that I cannot read either of your minds and Alice can't see your future, while Jasper can still feel your emotions…" Edward stated, not really asking.
"That's because Renesmee has a shield; I believe she inherited it. We have gained such a deep connection that she is able to cover me with her shield."
"That is such a rare gift. She is defiantly very lucky to have it. I personally have only known one other with that gift." Carlisle said, regretting the second part when he sees Edwards face grow solemn. Everyone stayed quiet for quite some time. A blood curdling scream came from the living room. Everyone rushed to Renesmee's side to find her still sleeping.
"Oh god. I thought this was done." Christopher's hand raised to caress Renesmee's face and then he explained how she used to get nightmares all the time and how he thought she was getting better.
"I loved you!" She screamed out, "Please, will you just listen to me!" Her body started quaking as she continued screaming. Christopher's face was carved with worry. He rushed down to her side and started whispering in her ear. Telling her that he loves her and that he won't let anything hurt her again.
Renemsee's POV
I had seen my mother rise up from her ashes. She was yelling at me, telling me how much of a disappointment I was to her.
"I love you." A voice said from out of nowhere, comforting me. I was shaking with fury. "I won't let anything ever hurt you." The voice soothed. Making me mad though; my mother hurts me everyday. How could it help me? "You mean the world to me." The voice was pretty calming. My body was still shaking as I watched my mother walk away from me.
"Come back, please! I need you!" She turned to face me again and just hook her head in disappointment. "I'll change. Please, I can change for you!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and she turned and walked away.
"I'm right here." The soothing voice called out to me. "I wouldn't change one hair on your perfect head." The voice comforted me, but all I could hear was my mother cackling. I screamed at her. I screamed until I lost my voice. I just wanted this nightmare to end.
I felt hands grasping my shoulders, trying to shake me out of it. It did not succeed, I was stuck in my misery.
I ran to catch up to my mother, but I couldn't. I called out to her, trying to get her to wait for me. She didn't, but I would not give up. I continued running and screaming, but I grew so tired. Sweat was pouring down my face, covering my body. I sat down on the sandy desert and bawled my eyes out.
"Please don't cry." The voice called to me. "I love you." I continued to sit there and cry for quite some time, while the voice tried to soothe me. She doesn't love me, she never loved me.
My surroundings began to fade as I regained consciousness. I saw the worry in his eyes. He hugged me and I continue crying into his body. He repositioned himself so that he was now cradling my body. I cried into his shoulder, not even noticing that we weren't alone.
I managed to calm myself down to just a few whimpers. I hadn't had a dream about my mother in almost a year now. What triggered it? I pulled my head off his shoulder and looked into the eyes of 7 vampires.
"Are you hungry dear?" The older maternal vampire asked me.
"No thank you." I whispered, not trying to be worried.
"Do you want to talk about it?' Christopher asked me.
"I would rather not, perhaps later." I sniffled. Edward sat down next to us and held my hand, gently messaging it. He looked worried as well. "I'm fine." I reassured everyone.
"Renesmee, let me introduce you to my family." Edward said. He pointed to a large man who looked like a body builder and the gorgeous blonde next to him. "That's Emmett and Rosalie," He then pointed to Alice and the lean honey-blonde man. "You know Alice and then Jasper." The last two left were extravagantly beautiful like the rest, and looked more like the parental figures. "Lastly this is Carlisle and Esme, my parents."
"Renesmee, your name is very unique. Do you know where it came from?" The blonde…Rosalie asked me. It made me think of my dream again, but I was soon snapped back to reality.
"I believe it's a mixture of my two grandmother's names." I replied.
"Oh that's cool and hey, Esme's name is in there too!" She exclaimed. A few chuckled for a couple of seconds, when in reality there was nothing funny about it. It was just strange coincidence.
Everyone made small talk for a little longer and I could feel my eyelids drooping. Christopher and Edward both noticed it.
"You can go to sleep if you want. I promise I won't leave you." Christopher whispered in my ear.
"I don't want to go to sleep. I'm afraid." It was true.
We decided to go home so that I could be more comfortable. We had bid everyone good bye and got in the car. Tonight will be a long one.
