RENESMEE

I started pacing around the room.

"Renesmee sit down please," Eddie said from the couch.

"What if she has changed her mind?" I asked.

"I doubt it," Eddie said. I narrowed my eyes at him and continued walking nervously around the small living room of Jacob's house.

"Jacob," Eddie shouted.

"Hmm?" Jacob asked as he put his head out of the door of his bedroom.

"Come calm Ness down please," Eddie murmured. "She's driving me crazy," Jacob laughed and walked out of his room, he walked into my path and I just turned around to walk the other way but he caught my arm and pulled me into his chest. I sighed and let him pull me onto the couch. I hated how much control he had over me but I wasn't going to try and fight it. In all honesty I liked being close to him.

"Thank you," Eddie sighed. I curled into Jacob and closed my eyes. Still worrying about Chloe. Less than five minutes later Eddie stood up.

"Don't start pacing, we're here." My dad said as he walked through the door.

"Finally!" Eddie said. My dad and mom walked into the living room.

"Good. She's not here yet, sorry we're late." My mom said and sat down on the arm chair. My dad looked at me and Jacob before walking over to my mom and sitting on the arm of the chair.

"She's here," my dad said less than a minute later and stood up. I took in a sharp breath and sat up on Jacob's lap. He stroked my back soothingly.

"We have a seating problem. Where is Chloe going to sit?" Eddie asked. With my parents on the chair and Eddie, Jacob and I on the two seater couch there was no more room.

"On your lap," Jacob sniggered. I let out a small giggle and Eddie narrowed his eyes at Jacob.

"Just like Bella sits on yours?" Eddie asked with a smirk. Jacob stared back at Eddie with a confused expression. I was just as confused. I knew my mom was close to Jacob and she would sit on his lap occasionally but there was a hidden message behind Eddie's statement I couldn't work out.

"I'm pretty sure she's 'mom' to you," Jacob said coldly.

"She sure isn't 'mom' to you is she?" Eddie asked with a smirk.

"Enough. Your father and I will stand. Its fine," my mom said sternly, interrupting the staring contest Jacob and Eddie were having. Jacob turned to face my mom, they did their weird little eye thing and my mom shook her head; I assumed it was to back off.

"Come on in Chloe," my dad said and opened the door. Chloe walked in and smiled at us on the couch.

"Hey!" I called and went to stand up to hug her. Jacob's arms that were securely around my hips stopped me. He obviously didn't want me to jump up and scare her. I slumped back onto his chest, just to let him know I agreed.

"Chloe you can sit on the chair," Jacob said trying to hold his laugh back. I hit him on his leg. "Ow Ness," he muttered.

"Stop it," I hissed.

"Sorry," he whispered. My dad and my mom made their way over to the side of the couch furthest away from Chloe.

"Dinner will be served in twenty minutes," my mom said with a smile. Chloe smiled timidly back.

"Chloe, you have to realise this is a long story and at any point you have a question just let us know." My dad said before he began, she nodded and looked longingly to Eddie sitting next to me. Eddie looked down at his lap nervously; he seemed to be avoiding her gaze.

"I guess we should start at the beginning…" my dad began, getting Chloe's attention back. He told our entire family story. He paused at the appropriate times and listened to her questions, he obviously had experience in this, as I assumed he told my mom everything when they first got together. Chantelle joined Jacob, Chloe and I and we ate spaghetti for dinner whilst my parents continued to tell their story. Billy had gone round to Grandpa Charlie's for dinner to give us as much room as possible. When my dad had finally finished Chloe remained silent for a few minutes.

"Thanks for telling me everything, it's a very interesting story, I'm glad everything turned out okay and I'm glad I know now. I had all sorts going through my head," she said. I smiled at her and stood up from the couch. I was now sitting next to Eddie; Jacob had escaped to the back yard to talk to Sam about something. I walked over to Chloe and sat down on the arm chair. She lifted her hand for me to take; I took it and smiled at her. I finally had a friend that I could talk to, about Jacob, about my family, about my life.

Hey you. I said to her. She smiled widely and laughed.

"Hi," she said.

"Well that's all we have to tell you Chloe, I'm sorry that we had to meet here, we didn't want you to be in danger." My dad said to her

"What's happening with that girl? I'm guessing the stories of her being in a mental institution are false," she said to my dad. My dad nodded

"We are keeping her with us. She has been possessed by a demon. We have arranged an exorcism tonight."

"Oh, wow…" she said and paused. I watched her face as her mind went into overdrive. She then looked back up. "I hope you can help her, she's in my chemistry class, and she seemed really nice." I squeezed her hand. "What about her parents? What do they think of this?"

"Carlisle informed them that he is taking care of her. They think she is in a secure unit, they are not allowed to visit her. He has told them she will be returned to them tomorrow. They are worried but they trust Carlisle. It's lucky he's a doctor."

"Oh, that's good then. So is everything in stories real? Demons, witches, angels, mermaids and all the stuff like that?"

"Witches and demons yes. Angels and mermaids, we have no idea," I answered her.

"Wow… and Jacob's a werewolf?" she asked. I nodded.

"Yep."

"Well... I think it's going to take a while for this to sink in," she laughed.

"That's okay. I'm just glad you're not running out of the house," I laughed back. She smiled and Jacob walked in the back door. His eyes locked with my dad's and my dad kissed my mom before walking out the front door with him. I watched them close the door. I stood up from the arm of the chair and walked over to the door.

"Renesmee," my mom warned. I stood at the door, trying to listen to their conversation. However they were perfectly distanced away from me for me to be unable to hear them. I sighed in frustration and walked over to the couch. I sunk down and crossed my arms over my chest. Eddie reached over with his finger and poked my bottom lip that was protruding slightly below my top lip.

"Why so pouty big sister?"

"They're being secretive," I moaned. Eddie laughed.

"You couldn't have raised her a little less spoilt?" he asked my mom. My mom just smiled and walked into the kitchen.

"I'm not spoilt. I just hope people wouldn't hide things from me. I'm not a child," I said. Chloe laughed from the chair. I looked to her, she had been watching us. "Don't laugh, you will be treated the same, trust me it sucks."

"I could imagine so," she said but her smile didn't slip. My dad and Jacob walked back in and straight into the kitchen where my mom was. I stood up and followed them in.

"Please tell me," I pouted. They laughed.

"It's nothing Renesmee, it's just something with the pack," my dad answered me.

"What's wrong?"

"The pack is growing, that's all. There have been a large number of new wolves and they're changing younger than ever."

"How young?" I asked.

"Well we used to think sixteen was young. Then Seth phased at fifteen, which broke an all time record. But some of these kids are as young as twelve." Jacob said to me. "And Leah isn't the only girl anymore; two thirteen year old girls phased yesterday."

"Wow. How many have phased?" I asked shocked.

"Seven so far. Its growing rapidly though."

"I didn't realise there was that many teenagers even in La Push."

"With them ranging from twelve to seventeen, you'd be surprised." He said.

"Well I'm sure with your guidance they'll all be fine," I smiled at him, his smile back gave me butterflies. " I'm going to go and watch TV." I said changing the subject and walked back into the room. Chloe was looking awkwardly at her hands and Eddie was watching the TV. I frowned at the back of my brother's head. Why was he being so rude to Chloe? I thought they had some sort of thing for each other… I walked up to the back of him and threaded my fingers through his hair, gripping his brown red hair tight in my fist with my hand still touching his head.

Why are you being so rude? I thought you liked her. I thought to him. He reached up and grabbed my wrist pulling my hand free of his head.

Nothing is between us. I am not romantically interested in her. He thought to me.

"Liar," I said out loud.

Ness stop it. You're reading too much into things.

"You're lying Edward Masen Cullen, I know it," I hissed at him.

"Ness just drop it," he snarled back.

"Stop lying to me! It's okay you know, I wouldn't hate you for it," I said to him. He turned around on the couch to finally look at me.

"Drop it Renesmee," he hissed.

"Why?" I said coldly. "Just explain to me. I'm not stupid Edward. I know what I saw."

"I don't have to tell you everything Renesmee. You don't need to know everything," he hissed at me, his temper was rising. We also had an audience, our parents and Jacob had come into the room. I didn't want to have this conversation here, it could wait.

"Whatever," I muttered and walked into the room Chantelle and I were sharing.

"Is she on her period or something?" Eddie muttered from behind me.

"Shut up Eddie. Renesmee Carlie Cullen, come back here," I heard my mom say. I sighed and turned back into the living room.

"What?" I said, I didn't mean for the tone that my voice came out with, it was cold and mean. My dad gave me a warning glance.

"Do not use that tone with me Renesmee, I wasn't the one that started this. Now sit back down on the couch." She instructed me. "Both of you apologize. There was absolutely no need what so ever for that little outburst. Eddie, do not test your sister, she was only curious. If you didn't want anyone to hear your conversation you should have told her with your gift. And Renesmee, maybe once in a while you should suppress your curiosity for a better time ok?" She said to us. We both nodded to her. "I don't want you apologizing using your gifts. Say it out loud." She said sternly. I turned to Eddie on my left.

"I'm sorry Eddie," I said to him sincerely. I knew I wasn't getting out of this room until my mom was convinced I was sorry, so there was no point in fighting it.

"I'm sorry too Nessie," he said to me.

"Thank you." My mom said to us, then turned to Chloe who had watched the entire thing, her face was one of amusement and confusion. "I'm sorry you had to witness that Chloe. Renesmee and Eddie are just like any normal siblings, they have their quarrels."

"I wouldn't know, I don't have any siblings. But it's okay." She smiled. My mom smiled back.

"I'm sure if you spend more time around us you will feel as you do," she laughed. Chloe smiled. I knew she liked the idea of that. She told me she loved her mom but she always wondered what it would be like with a father and siblings, she always wanted a large family. She told me when she gets married, she wants a lot of kids so they never felt alone like she used to. My heart broke when she told me that and I always told her she was welcome in my family; that I would be her sister.

"Okay, now that we are done with the drama, I need to let you all in on what's going on at home." My dad said stepping out of the shadow of the door and to the front of the room. "Chantelle come here please," he said no louder than he would normally speak. Moments later Chantelle came in and since there was no room on the couch she sat down on my lap. I wrapped my arms around her waist and squeezed her lightly. I felt like I hadn't seen her for a while, with everything going on I was too distracted to talk to her and do sisterly things with her.

"Alright. Jacob is staying here with you all whilst Bella and I go back to the house. Carlisle needs help in transporting Emma to the grounds in which the priest will perform the exorcism. I do not want any of you leaving this house until we return. Chloe, we have already arranged with your mother that you will be sleeping over here tonight. We wanted you under extra protection just in case in the extreme unlikely hood Emma will get loose. In theory we think she will be after Renesmee, however you were there that day too so we can't be sure."

"That's not going to happen though," my mom interrupted.

"You're right. It's not. The rest of the pack will be patrolling the house all night. With so many wolves there is no way anyone is getting through to any of you. Bella and I will report to Jacob throughout the night. We are hoping to be back before midnight. We will not be involved in the exorcism but we won't be far away from it." My dad explained.

"Is she going to be ok?" I asked.

"I hope so Renesmee," my dad answered. I nodded and turned to look at Chantelle's golden hair. My mom and my dad kissed Eddie, Chantelle and I before waving to Chloe and saying goodbye to Jacob. Then they left, hand in hand. I sighed and dropped my head back until it rested on the back of the couch.

"It's going to be a loooong night," I murmured.

"Mhmm," Eddie said and turned the TV back on.
