Chapter 30
(Renesmee)
After a couple hours of traveling, we arrive at an airport somewhere in South America. At this point, I don't even care where I'm going. The sadness and hatred for myself completely take over my emotions.
Natalia grips my hand in hers and pulls me along behind her, eager to reach her family. We get out to the parking lot and she squeals as she sees a person standing with a nice car. I guess all vampires were rich.
She drops my hand when we reach him and launches herself at the man. "Papa!" She sighs. So that was her father. He pushes her behind him and snarls at me. His eyes so angry and defensive as he stalks towards me.
(Natalia)
"Papa!" I whisper as I grip him in my arms. Instead of hugging me back, he pushes me behind him and snarls at Renesmee. Before I can react he walks forward, probably to harm her.
The poor girl just stands there with the lifeless eyes she's had since I told her about Jacob. She shows no emotion as the dangerous man that is my father prepares to kill her.
I grip my father's arm and tell him to stop. "No Papa! She is a friend; a half-breed like me and Mama. She is a Cullen." I tell him in Spanish; our native tongue.
His mouth drops open and he steps back. "Why is she here, Natalia? The Cullens will be very angry you kidnapped her!" He snaps, again in Spanish. We could all speak English perfectly; we just tended to use Spanish more.
I tell him what happened while I was in Washington. They all thought I was on a hunting trip alone. Renesmee takes a seat on the ground while I try to shorten the story.
His golden eyes soften with pity. He turns to Nessie and lifts her into his arms. She hugs him back and I snort a little. She really didn't understand strangers. She went with me after only an hour of meeting me. She hugged my father who has never spoken a word to her.
"My name is Mikkel. I am Natalia's father, and yes, you may come live with us." He says to her in English. I let out a cheer at this. She could be my new sister!
"You don't have to speak English with me. I was taught to speak fluent Spanish when I was three months old." She says in perfect Spanish. She lets out a small smile at Papa's amazed face. "All righty then!" He booms. "Let's go home!"

After an hour drive from the airport, we reach a large house settled deep in the woods. It's in the trees and looks like something from a fairytale. It had at least twenty rooms and stretched out for maybe ten huge trees. Some rooms had roofs and others didn't.
On the way here, Mikkel had told me everyone's life story, and I had told him mine. He had called ahead to the others to warn them of my arrival. He told them to treat me like a sister or daughter. I guess I had a new set of parents then.
The large cluster of people smiles warmly as I exit the car. I match the names I know to their faces. First, the oldest girl is Victoria. Her long, really curly, brown hair falls just above her butt. She has a pretty face and dark eyes. Next is Elizabeth who was straight brown hair and a shy face. She reminds me of a fawn; timid and frightened easily.
Then, Sophia comes over to me and gives me a large hug. Her perfectly styled brown (It must be a trait they all got from their father. They all had brown hair.) Hair and glossy lips make me think she's the one who cares the most about beauty. Natalia told me that she is loud and not afraid to share her opinion. After her are the twins; Olivia and Hailey. They look really similar to each other. They both have the brown hair that seems to run in the family. Their hair is wavy and thick.
Next in age would be Natalia, but I'd already met her. The youngest girl is Nadine. She looks only a few physical years older than me. She has a braid in part of her brown hair and piercing blue eyes. She just offers a simple smile towards me, and I return it.
Then, the boys take turns greeting me while the girls say hello to their sister. First is Nahuel, who I've already met. He is the oldest out of all the kids. I wave hello to him and he waves back. He looks very different from the last time I saw him. His hair is very short and his clothes are modern. The next boy to meet me is Nathaniel, who is Sophia's twin. They are almost identical, except that they're opposite genders. Unlike his sister, he seems carefree and hugs me close to his body, like he already knows me.
Then James and Cody greet me together. James has the darkest hair and blue eyes like Nadine. Cody is only about four but he looks so serious and intelligent. His hair is very short and he looks very mischievous.
Next, the woman who must be Mikkel's mate, Sheila, gives me a hug. Her brilliant red hair flies as she whispers in Spanish, "Welcome to the family, darling."
(A/N Okay my dear readers, let's just assume that every time they talk, unless it says 'in English', that they are speaking in Spanish.)
