A/N I feel I should apologise but we all know this will happen again. I honestly do try to update on time but it usually doesn't happen. To make it up to you I'm going to make this chapter extra long.

Enjoy.


Renesmee's POV

Carlisle had introduced everyone in the room. Esme was his wife and had long brunette hair. Rosalie was blonde and was the owner of the icy voice (bitch). Lastly there was Emmett, who was Rosalie's husband, was built like a brick shit house with dark curly hair.

I was currently seated on the far end of their off white L shaped sofa with Rosalie, Emmett and Esme on the other end, Esme being the closest. Carlisle was standing by the door, blocking my way out.

"Would you like a drink?" Esme asked, a harmless sounding question but I wasn't naive. She was trying to figure out if I ate or drank anything.

"No, thank you." I said politely.

An awkward silence followed for a few seconds. Rosalie glared at me, Emmett was staring at Rosalie and Esme looked way too compassionate for my liking.

"Let's skip to the point shall we?" Carlisle said, drawing everyone's eyes to him.

They all murmur their agreements and I just give a slight movement of my head. I was beginning to feel like a caged animal and wanted this to be over as soon as possible so I could leave.

"Have you ever experienced anything like what happened on the road before?" Carlisle asked, his hands casually sliding into his pockets.

I mentally took note of the movement, not sure if it had a deeper purpose. I shook my head but didn't speak. They looked at me, expecting me to elaborate.

I didn't.

Carlisle cleared his throat uncomfortably. "Well, do you know wh-"

"I thought you said you were going to skip to the point." I interrupted. He was beating around the bush and it was getting tedious.

"And by that you mean?" Rosalie asked. She stared at me and I could read nothing in her expression but distrust.

I have to admit that out of all the people in the room I trusted her most. I knew how she felt about me and she didn't ask questions with ulterior motives. She was cautious about the ones she cared for.

"I mean you want to know about me and I know more about you than you think." As I spoke their faces grew suspicious and fretful. "So do what you said you would do and skip to the point."

Rosalie snarled and started at vampire speed towards me. I decided to risk it and 'blinked' out of the way. One second she was coming at me and the next I was on the other end of the room.

Rosalie turned and hissed along with all the vampires in the room except Carlisle. He probably figured I would do that.

"Please don't do that. And has no one ever told you it's rude to attack guests." I said casually.

In reality it made me a tired and reminded me of my thirst. I couldn't do that again. Rosalie snarled again before returning to her seat next to Emmett.

Before there were calm stares but now I was receiving hostile glares from all except Carlisle and Esme.

"What are you?" Emmett demanded.

"Why should I tell you?" I asked rhetorically. "You don't trust me and I certainly don't trust you. Why should I tell you anything?"

"Please." Esme said, approaching me. I turned swiftly and she faltered. "We just want to help, to understand, but you're not making it easy for us."

"Help?" I snickered, looking directly at Rosalie. I'd been attacked and they expected me to want to tell them my life story. To my surprise she looked sorry.

Suddenly all their heads snapped past me and out the window. I heard what they could hear seconds later. Someone was coming. A vampire was coming.

"Edward." Rosalie said breaking the silence.

Edward. I thought panicked. I didn't doubt Carlisle or the rest of them anymore. They were the Cullen's. There were only so many coincidences before you realized that fate was taking you in a certain direction.

And for some stupid fucking reason, fate was leading me directly into the path of the people I was trying to avoid.

I didn't let any of this show on my face. After 4 and a half years with (shudder) Aro, I sure as heck knew how to hide my emotions.

I cleared my head of all thoughts and waited patiently for Edward. It wasn't more than two minutes away before he flew though the door.

"What's going on . . ." He trailed off as he looked at me. There was no place in my mind that thought he wouldn't recognise me. He growled before he started for me. I felt my head smash into the window.

"What the hell are you doing here? Who sent you? Are you here for Bella?" Edward fired off questions at vampire speed with his hand clamped around my throat. It was a good thing I could hold my breath for an incredibly long time or I would've been gasping for air.

My head had split and I could feel the blood matting my hair and soaking into the cracks the impact had caused in the window. Everyone in the room froze once again.

Edward let me go and I dropped to my knee's. I felt a little dizzy but forced myself up. I refused to be weak, weak made me an easier target.

As the wound in my head began to close, Carlisle started towards me slowly.

"Are you going to attack me as well?" I tried to joke, but it sounded cold. It didn't really bother me though.

"You just bled?" Emmett said, interrupting whatever Carlisle was about to say to me.

"When you're heart beats you tend to bleed." I sarcastically replied. Emmett made an 'I'm not stupid' face and I simply replied with a raised eyebrow. He pouted and I resisted the urge to giggle at such a childish expression on such a big guy.

"It didn't make us thirsty." Rosalie clarified. "It smelt like blood but it didn't smell edible. It kinda smelt sweet but metallic. I-"

"Didn't wanna drink me, just keep breathing me in." I finished. "My blood tends to have that effect on vampires."

"Why?" Esme asked. I had kind of forgotten she was here, she was so silent.

"It's in my blood." I answered.

They all considered this in silence. Carlisle handed my a damp cloth with ice in it for my head that I hadn't noticed he had gotten. I just held it, I didn't need it now that the gash was closed.

What I needed was blood and a long, deep sleep. My thirst and fatigue was dulling my senses. That was not something I felt comfortable with, especially in the presence of hostile vampires who didn't seem to reservations about attacking me.

"Please." He said. "No more games. I know our actions haven't shown otherwise but we don't want to hurt you. What are you?"

"Or at least tell us why you're here." Rosalie added. I suddenly liked her, for giving me that way out. For seeming to understand that I didn't wanna share shit with these people.

"I ran away."

"From the Volturi?" Edward scoffed from his spot next to the tv. "You don't just run away from the Volturi. What about Demetri? I seriously doubt Aro would just let you leave."

"He probably doesn't even know I'm gone. Jane wouldn't want him to find out that she and Marcus lost me. Besides, Demetri's power doesn't work on me."

"Why?" Emmett asked.

"For God's sake, because I'm a hybrid." I burst, having had enough of the word 'why'. Cais had told me many times that I needed to get my emotions as controlled as my mind, but I couldn't help it. I may be a hybrid but I'm still a teenage girl . . . physically.

None of the Cullen's reacted to the word, probably not knowing a hybrid to be anything but a car. For now I had the upper hand and it made me feel a little better.

Edward was staring intently at him but the front of my mind was carefully blank.

"Take a picture." I said and he started glowering at me.

"What do you mean by hybrid?" Rosalie said, trying to hide her amusement. I was liking this chick more and more.

"I'm a cross. You know I'm not vampire but you know I'm not human. I'm both. Human and vampire."

"How is that possible?" Carlisle asked, approaching me cautiously. I didn't tell him to stop but he seemed to understand I was uncomfortable.

Funnily enough, that was a question I had never asked myself. I had just always accepted that I existed.

"I-I don't know. I've never thought about it." I coughed a little, trying to get over the burning in my throat.

"You're thirsty." Edward says. All the Cullens looked at me but I didn't say anything.

"She can come hunting with us." Emmett said, standing up and pulling Rosalie with him. "I know a great place for mountain bear." He smirked.

All I was thinking about was killing someone and the guilt I would feel. I had asked Aro before if I could hunt animals, but now the opportunity had arose I wasn't sure if I could do it.

"Don't worry." Edward said in reply to my thoughts. "It's not that different to drinking from humans, you just have to get used to the taste."

Even though the words were meant to be friendly and comforting his face was stony.

"If it makes you more comfortable I could go-" Esme added.

"Thank you but no, I would actually prefer Emmett and Rosalie's company."

"Pleases, call me Rose." She gave me a half smile and I returned the gesture.

That was how I came to be in the middle of the forest with two Cullens.
