Chapter 6. Shock, new start and fight!
She folded her arms and followed Alice towards the back of the garage. 'Oh no you didn't Alice'. Mom complained. Dad just shushed mom. A car backed out the garage. 'Happy birthday Bella'. Jasper and Alice said together. The car was a black Corvette. Mom seemed a little annoyed but, the car was nice so she couldn't say anything. It had black out windows as well; no one would be able to see in. 'thanks Jasper, Alice. She said. Smiling.
'Come on our turn Bella'. Emmett said leading us back into the house. 'This is from me and Rosalie'. He said handing her a box. She unwrapped it. It was the latest I phone 4. 'Thanks guys, but you really shouldn't of'. She said.
'Alice seen it and knew you would like it, we also put your favourite songs on it'. Rosalie said. Mom smiled at them both.
'Ok our turn'. Esme said. 'Close your eyes'. She said. Mom did as she was told.
'Open your eyes Bella'. Esme said.
Bella
I couldn't believe my mom was in the house. 'Hello Bella sweetheart'. She cried. I gave her a hug. 'Mom what you doing here?' I asked.
'It is your birthday; I wouldn't miss it for the world'. She said.
'It is so nice to see you, you look so well'. I said.
We spent the rest of the night talking. Mom was a little suspicious. Who was Renesmee, why I didn't look much different? I just told her it hadn't been that long ago that we last seen each other. She also wanted to know if I was going college. What Edward was doing? I decided not to tell her what had been happening.
The whole family came into the room. 'We need to talk'. Carlisle said. Everyone sat down on the sofas. Renesmee came to sit by me. 'First of all this is Renesmee. Your granddaughter'. Carlisle said. Mom went a pale white.
'Granddaughter'. She whispered. 'But, she can't be. She is the same age as you Bella'. Mom looked confused. Carlisle came and sat by her. 'Why would you say this?' she stuttered. Carlisle made her lie down and put a pillow under her head.
'Will she be ok'? I asked. Carlisle nodded. 'She is just in shock'. Carlisle said. He handed her a glass of water. She sipped it carefully. 'I am confused will someone tell me what is going on'? Mom asked. I asked Carlisle if it was a good idea to tell her.
'She is your mom she needs to know, it isn't fair that you wouldn't be able to see her again'. Carlisle said. I took a deep breath.
'Mom, Renesmee is mine and Edward's daughter, she is half vampire'. I said. Then I looked at her. She looked deeply confused. She was trying to take it all in.
'Half vampire'. She whispered. We all nodded.
Edward came and stood by me holding my hand. 'We are all vampires'. Edward said.
Mom tried to stand up but stumbled and fell over. Emmett chuckled lightly.
'But you can't be'. She whispered. 'What about Bella'? She asked. Carlisle nodded.
'Bella nearly died, giving birth to Renesmee, Edward saved her by changing her'. He said. Mom fainted on the floor. 'Mom'. I screamed putting my arm around her. She woke up after a few minutes.
'Oh Bella, I had the worst dream'. She said. She stopped when she saw Renesmee.
'It wasn't a dream'. She said. We shook our heads.
'I don't understand, I am still confused. What about your diet'? She asked.
'We drink animal blood'. Carlisle said. Mom was scared we could tell. I felt so guilty.
'We should never have told her'. I whispered to Edward. 'It is ok Bella'. He said kissing my head.
Carlisle made sure mom was ok before Phil picked her up. She was staying at a local hotel. 'Mom you have to understand you can't tell anyone, we could all be killed if anyone found out'. I said. She nodded. Walking away with Phil. I was exhausted.
Renesmee
Once grandma was over the shock and she trusted us. She wanted to take me out and get to know me. Carlisle told her because we didn't age we had to move away. Grandma was going back home tomorrow, she only came for our birthday's; well actually mom's birthday because she didn't know I existed. Grandma was a little shocked that mom didn't say anything about me, she wants to take me out, the next time she sees us, with mom and dad of course.
Now it was ten o clock and even though it was the weekend I was exhausted. Mom looked exhausted and stressed. 'Come on Renesmee'. Dad said. We were going back to our cottage for the night. Esme had already put it up for sale, and she extended the new house so me, dad and mom would have our own little part of the house.
We were moving tomorrow, leaving the house. We packed some boxes, things we all wanted to take with us. Carlisle took all the boxes in the cars. We packed all our clothes, and our private things, they also went in the cars. Carlisle had also discussed with Jacob what is he doing, Jacob was happy to move with us. He would be living in his own private bit as well; Esme had planned before the move. Dad didn't remember what had happened with him and Jacob, so for now they got on well. Jacob knew he was treading on ice with dad though, who could remember everything anytime.
I was learning to drive on Sunday; dad was going to teach me. Jacob would be seeing Billy on Sunday; I hope I would pass my test soon so I could easily get my license.
We got home past midnight. Mom and dad sat with me on my bed. 'Goodnight Renesmee'. They both said laughing together. They looked so happy.
'I am glad you are better now dad, we missed you'. I said. He hugged me.
'I would say I missed you, if I knew who you were?' he said. I laughed at this.
'I love you dad, mom'. I said.
'We love you too'. They both said again.
'Goodnight Renesmee'. They said going out the door.
'Goodnight mom, dad'. I said settling down in my bed. Jacob was at the side of my bed. 'Goodnight Renesmee'. He whispered. 'Night'. I whispered back. We both fell asleep.
'Wake up Renesmee'. Dad said. Shaking me. I opened my eyes.
'Come on downstairs, we need to head out soon'. He said. Mom also came in the room. 'Come on Renesmee, I made your breakfast, and some hot chocolate'. She said. I sat up in bed. The time was 7:30am. Jacob was already awake. He was reading a magazine.
I got dressed and went downstairs with Jacob. 'Here'. Mom handed me and Jacob a bowl of cereal each and a mug of hot chocolate. 'Thanks mom'. I said. 'Thanks Bella'. Jacob said. Dad was packing last minute things. Mom was getting all of our clothes ready to take plus mom's perfumes and my shower things. Jacob only needed one bag of things.
When we finished our breakfast we washed our bowls and mugs and followed mom into the hallway. 'Ok this is what is happening'. Dad started. Mom just sat on the stairs nodding. 'Jacob, you will follow us with Renesmee in Renesmee's new car'. He said.
'Me and your mom will take her new car'. 'Emmett and Rosalie are taking their cars each, Alice and Jasper will make a few journeys to bring all the cars to us. Our new garage is big; it will fit everything in with plenty of space'. He finished. I nodded.
I was excited to be riding in my new car. I really wanted to drive, but because I didn't have my license it was still illegal. Jacob was running me through basic things for tomorrow. He looked like something was on his mind.
'What is the matter Jacob?' I asked. He just shook his head. I frowned.
'Please tell me'. I demanded. He sighed at me. 'Nothing is wrong'. He shouted. I sat back in my seat. Quiet.
'I'm sorry Renesmee; I don't know whether we can be friends, I have been talking to your mom, she agrees with me. Your dad could bust me at any moment; he could kill me, or send me away'. He shouted.
I was too deep in thought; I didn't actually know what to think. I was shocked and upset. 'Ok then why bring this up now? When we were moving out. You are supposed to come with us. Why drop this bombshell now?' I demanded, close to tears. He seemed like he didn't care, he stared hard at me. His face in a tight frown.
'I would have said something earlier but your dad has only just got better, how was I supposed to say something? On your birthday in front of your family?'. He shouted at me. I got out the car and walked back inside the house.
'Renesmee, what is wrong?' mom followed me up the stairs.
'Why don't you ask Jacob? I said. Running upstairs crying. I heard mom go outside to where Jacob was sat in my car. Dad was also there. Jacob had told dad what had happened.
A few seconds later my dad came into my room. 'Renesmee is what Jacob is saying true?' he asked. I touched him and shown him the pictures from the fight. He just sat quietly and watched. When I had finished showing him. He said. 'We haven't got time for this now, but when we get to the new house I want to talk to you'. He seemed really annoyed and he had no choice but to believe us.
'What is happening to Jacob?' I asked. Dad shook his head. 'We will talk about it later'. He said.
We now had to rearrange the car journey. Mom was travelling with Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett were still going together and so was Carlisle and Esme. I was now travelling with dad in my new car. Alice would still be coming back again to bring the other cars.
The whole car journey there was silent; dad put the radio on loud. I tried to text Jacob but he wouldn't reply and when I tried to ring him, his phone was switched off.
Dad was humming along to the radio.
I just stared out of the window. I was excited to be moving but I had no idea what my dad wanted to say to me. Well I had a clue but I didn't know what was going to happen. Everyone else had set out before us and they should be there by now. I was broken. I knew this would probably have happened, but I didn't think Jacob would just tell dad what had happened. I think mom was shocked he did that. Jacob was brave, but I was terrified of dad.
We eventually arrived after stopping half way for drinks and snacks, and so I could go toilet. Dad parked the car in the big garage. Everyone else's car was in there already except Alice and Jasper's.
'Hello Renesmee'. Mom came down the drive to me. I wrapped my arms round her. She saw the look on dad's face and whispered. 'Go unpack your things I will deal with your dad'.
I did what she said and went to my room. The new house was a lot bigger than the old one. The whole house was laminated and the furniture was rich browns and creams. My bedroom was the smallest. The floor was laminated. The whole room was purple. Alice had put some flower designs on the walls. I had white furniture. And my room led out onto the balcony. The balcony led all the way to the kitchen if you walked round it. The view was beautiful. We lived in the middle of a forest. So we could see trees and mud. But at the back of all that you could see a beach.
Someone knocked on the door. 'Come in'. I shouted putting my clothes in the closet. Mom walked in with my suitcase followed by dad. 'Do you like your new room?' mom asked. I nodded.
She put my suitcase on my bed. I started opening it. 'Sit down'. Dad said firmly. I did as I was told.
Mom also sat on the bed with me. 'I suppose you want to know what is happening right?' mom said. I nodded. Dad sighed and stood in front of me. 'Jacob told me everything that happened the night I lost my memory'. He said. 'I don't want you seeing him; in fact if he so much as comes near you, Jasper Emmett and I will have to kill him'. I shuddered at this. 'But he didn't mean it, I showed you what happened, it was an accident'. I started. Dad put his hand up to me. 'Yes it was, but because of this accident the wolves have to stay in Forks, it isn't safe for Jacob to be here, it means turning his back on his family, his friends, and when a wolf turns their back on the people who love them most to be with a vampire it is called betrayal. A war will start between us and them'. I just nodded. Dad stood up again. 'No phoning Jacob'. He yelled throwing my phone at the wall. It shattered as it hit the floor. Dad walked out the room. Mom put her arm around me. 'I know this is hard but you will meet new people'. She said softly. I cried in her arms for an hour.
'Come on lets buy you a new phone'. She said grabbing my hand. I wiped my eyes. Alice knocked on the door. 'Can I come?' she asked. Mom rolled her eyes but said yes.
We went in Alice's car. Alice had told dad where we were going. He was angry at mom. But when Carlisle had spoken to him. He eventually softened.
'Mom, does dad hate me?' I asked in the car. Mom turned the radio down. 'Of course he doesn't, he just needs to get over what happened'. She said.
'So he is still teaching me how to drive?' I asked. Mom nodded.
'yes, we both are actually. After school and mostly weekends'. She said. I sat back in my chair and sighed. 'Mom, can i have a phone like yours?' i asked.
'Alice how much do we have on us?' mom asked.
'$750'. She smiled and handed mom the notes.
'How much was my phone?' mom asked.
'We got yours from a market for $450'. Alice said.
'Would that market still be on?' mom asked.
Alice didn't answer she frowned. 'What's wrong Alice?' mom asked.
'Jacob is coming back here to fight with Edward and he is bringing the whole wolf pack'. She said. Mom put her hand to her head and sighed. I sunk back in my chair.
'When is this?' mom asked.
'A week from today'. She answered. She snapped back to us with a blink.
We parked in the mall car park. Alice and mom tried to ring dad, but Emmett answered and said he was hunting with Jasper and Carlisle.
