New Acquaintances
Father? Impossible!
Renesmee's POV
I layed in bed tossing and turning, never really getting a good chance to feel calm enough to sleep. Around 2am, I was fed up with it. I walked to the bath room and prepared the tub, hoping the steam and warm water would help my mind stop racing. I spent a good 45 minutes basking in the steam filled room. My nerves relaxed and loosened the tension in my back. I got out of the tub and slipped into my new chemise.
I slid under the silk sheets and rested against my pillows. Christopher handed me a glass of nice warm milk and layed down beside me. I finished the milk and closed my eyes. For once that night I was able to fall into a light sleep.
I was in the woods; sitting on a dead log. A soft rustling sound came from behind me. I left my seat on the log, and walked towards the sound. A meadow. A small meadow with the sun shining brightly on the lovely wild flowers. My eyes gazed over the beautiful clearing until the came upon two figures on the far end. I walked over to greet them, but was stopped short.
It was my mother. Her head resting on a man's chest. My father? I walked a little closer until I noticed that she was sleeping.
"Bella, we should head back. You don't want Charlie to worry." The voice seemed so familiar; I just couldn't put my finger on it.
My mother slowly sat up and looked into the man's face. I could only see his prominent jaw line. I had to get closer.
"I wish we could stay here all night." She spoke softly.
"Me too." He agreed while sitting up to join her. I stumbled backward, tripping over my own feet. Edward Cullen!?!
I wanted to follow them out of the woods to learn more, but they were fading away. I couldn't see them anymore, only darkness.
I jolted awake to find myself in an empty bed. My breathing slowed to a steady rate and I slowly climbed out of the bed to find Christopher. The kitchen and living room were both empty; I was about to check the music room when my eyes came across a note on the breakfast bar.
Love,
I went to hunt. Sorry about the bad timing, but I really could not help it.
I will be back shortly. I love you.
Christopher
He was right, it was bad timing. I needed to talk to him; to try to figure out what this dream meant. Is there a possibility that it could have been true and in some bizarre way, Edward was my father?
I checked the clock. 6:30am. Great, now I'll have to rush so I won't be late. I ran to the shower and quickly started it. The water felt good, but this was no time to dawdle. I got out, brushed and blow dried my hair, and got dressed. A pair of dark washed skinny jeans and a red top, plus a black set of pointed stilettos.
I met Christopher down by the door. He handed me a toasted bagel with cream cheese and a travel mug full of coffee. Lord knows I'm going to need it today.
"Thank you." He smiled and we ran off to the car at human speed. I chowed down on the bagel as we sped off to the school. The parking lot was fairly full when we got there. We stepped out of the car and he kissed me goodbye.
"I'll see you after school. Please try to stay safe today." He gave me a small peck on my forehead and walked to the opposite side of the parking lot.
I walked into English, hung up my coat on the rack, and took my seat at the back of the room.
The first half of the day went by relatively fast. In lunch I sat with the Cullen's, I could hear the gossip forming.
"I see the school has found a new interest in you with us." Edward whispered in my ear.
"Really, how could cha' tell?" I said sarcastically.
"I have my ways…" He snickered.
"How so?"
"Mind reading." Well that would explain it…OH wait! He can read my mind. I look at his face but he was just staring off into space. Strange.
"Can you read my mind?" I asked too low for human years.
"Strangely, no." His face was unreadable.
"Am I the only one?" I asked feeling some sort of unresolved tension.
He took a large breathe and let it out slowly. "There was one before you and Christopher."
"Were you close?"
"Yes, very much so. But she's gone now." Oh she must have been human. I could tell by the sound of his voice that he wanted this conversation to be over.
Lunch was half way over and i didn't want to bring up my dream, at least not with Edward. Lunch had passed quickly, as did the rest of the day. We had gotten out of gym and headed to our cars. Christopher met us in the hallway near the foyer.
"Hey sweetie, how's your day been?" He wrapped his arms over my shoulders and guided me out the doors.
"Ehh, pretty good; well average. It feels nice getting into routine." Christopher and I said our farewells to the Cullens and got in the car.
"Something feels wrong…" He flat out stated. "I can't put my finger on it but something just doesn't feel right." I didn't know what to say, but he was right. I felt a rock in the pit of my stomach.
The car was still flying at at least 190 MPH past our house.
"What are you doing!?!"
"There are vampires inside the house! I could smell them."
"So we're just not going to face them and run away? I don't want to leave yet!" He sat there quiet letting me stir in my mind. "Would you say something, please?"
"No were not leaving…at least not yet." He stated so calmly. How on earth could he be calm? "I'm dropping you off at the Cullen's. It's not safe for you there."
"Please, let me go with you!" I was past begging. "I don't want to leave you!"
"You don't understand…I could never live on an earth where you don't exist. I cannot lose you, and I know that the Cullen's will keep you safe." We were now in the drive way. He ran out of the car and opened my door. "I'm not going to let anything hurt you. I promise that I will be right back and who knows it could be nothing back there. But I am not going to take any chances." He stared intently into my eyes and then kissed my forehead. "See you soon, love."
"I love you." Why was I so worried, it's probably nothing.
"I love you too." He hugged me close. His scent was intoxicating. He got back into the car and started to drive away, towards our house.
I could not let him walk into a house of vampires alone. I had to go after him.
A/N: So this chapter is a little short, and for some reason it took me forever to write. I apologize for that.
I'm not sure, but to me it feels like it doesn't really flow. what do you think?
& imput is alway appreciated. By the way, thank you to all who have commented!
Love,
