Chapter 3: Something Strange

Renesmee's POV

Something strange was going on here; something really strange. There was no way that they could be my parents. That's just crazy, it was probably just pure coincidence that these two kids happened to look exactly like my parents and have the exact same names. My photo was taken over 18 years ago, so there was no way that this could possibly be them.

They continued to stare at me and I at them. They took occasional glances at my stomach and nod their heads in dissapointment. Edward also had a very frustrated look on his face as he stared at me. The way he looked at me, it was like he was trying to figure me out. He whispered something to the rest of them and they suddenly all looked at me again.

The bell rang and I was one of the first ones to leave my seat.

Just one more class and I can get out of this place.

I looked at my schedule. English, I loved English. It was one of my best subjects. I was in an advanced program back home.

There was only one empty seat and it was right next to Edward. He looked like he was very deep in thought and he didn't even seem to notice me until I sat down.

"Hi, I'm Renesmee" I said holding my hand out towards him.

He looked right into my eyes before shaking my hand. Yikes he was cold!

"Nice to meet you too Renesmee. I'm Edward" he said.

"You can call me Nessie" I said

"Why on Earth what I call you the loch ness monster?" he asked looking upset.

I was taken aback. I never got that reaction to my nickname, most people preferred it over my actual name.

"It's a nickname that my parents came up with it. They thought the name my birth parents gave me was a mouthful so they gave me this nickname. It's what most people call me" I said.

"I'd rather call you Renesmee. There's a reason that you're biological parents gave you that name. That reason is because it's a beautiful name" he said with so much certainty that it surprised me.

"Okay" I said.

"Where are your parents?" he asked.

"They're back home in New York. They couldn't leave because of their jobs so I came on my own. I'm living in a house they own here" I said.

"Why did you leave?" he asked.

"I'd rather not talk about that" I said.

"Why? Are you hiding something?" he asked sounding angry as he glanced at my stomach.

What was wrong with this guy?

Class started after that and all conversation ceased. He still looked upset though. Why? What had I done?

All of a sudden I started to feel sick again. I started to feel very nauseous. This is one of the bad things about pregnancy. I don't know why they call this morning sickness it should be called 24/7 sickness. It can hit you at any time of the day not just morning.

"Are you feeling okay?" Edward asked. I was afraid I would lose my lunch if I answered so I just nodded. I reached into my bag for my ginger ale and my crackers. These two items have become my best friends over the past few days. They were the only things that helped my morning sickness.

I started to feel much better as I drank and ate. Edward eyed me suspiciously but said nothing.

Soon the class ended and I was heading home. As I walked home I heard someone walking behind me. My heart rate sped up and I started walking faster but I could still here footsteps behind me.

I looked behind me and I saw Edward and his two adoptive brothers behind me.

My heart sped up even faster as panic started to overtake me. I was taken back to the day I was attacked. It was a scenario just like this. Only it was Royce and his friends.

Panic clouded every rational thought I had and I ran as fast as I could.

I didn't calm down until I had locked my door behind me.

I looked outside and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw no one there.
