Okay so this is a sequel to my story, Sunrise, so if you get confused it's probably because you might need to read Sunrise before you read this story. It's not essential to read the 1st story since I explain most of it in this 1st chapter, but there are a lot of new characters and things that I mentioned in Sunrise, so you might need the background info. Anyway, let's get onto the 1st chapter of Noon Sun!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight!

Chapter One

Renesmee's POV

I smiled as I looked at the photo of my family on my nightstand. It was taken right after my fourth birthday. I looked to be around the age of a middle schooler, possibly thirteen. Masen and Lizzy, my younger siblings, were both underneath my arms as I pulled them close to me.

Masen looked to be around the age of eleven years old at the time while Lizzy was the size of a small four year old. Poor kid was still pretty mad at Masen since he already looked older than her, but I know the feeling. I used to tower over Masen, but now he towers over me.

My parents were on either side of my siblings, smiling at the camera as well. It happens to be my favorite family photo of all. That's why it's right on my dresser. Masen said I should just get a new one already, but I like it. Even though I don't look thirteen anymore and look about sixteen now.

I have only a year left until my seventh birthday. Well almost a year, I would be turning six in a week.

We had just celebrated Lily and Aidan's fourth birthday and it was pretty grand. Aidan didn't care much about it, but Lily on the other hand had to have everything perfect.

Lily and Aidan, my cousins and Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Emmett's adopted hybrid twins, looked to be around fourteen or fifteen now. Aidan seemed to look more so fourteen while Lily looked like she was fifteen-years-old. It wasn't a surprise though. Aidan's always looked rather small in comparison to his twin sister for some reason. Although, he sure acts younger than Lily. Aidan often was seen as the immature twin while Lily tended to appear as the mature twin (or tries to be mature, she has her moments).

My little sister Lizzy looks about eight or nine years-old now and Masen, my younger brother, manages to look older than me despite the two of us being around the physical age of sixteen now. Even though he still isn't four yet, the guy has looked fully grown for the last year practically. We'll be reaching our mature ages around the same time so sometimes it does feel like we're twins.

Lizzy and Masen are my two siblings that aren't hybrids or vampires. They are something called Lux Lamia, or Light Vampires in Latin, since their kind is created using the most powerful source of energy to magic, light.

My parents conceived the two on Isle Esme when we went there to hide from Lorenzo, an evil man who was part vampire, warlock, human, and werewolf. He wanted to kill my whole entire family off for being a threat, so we ran from Forks to Isle Esme to hide for awhile.

Lizzy was conceived first, and was born sometime in November. Then came along Masen, our little surprise on New Years. The Lux Lamias always have some sort of 'twin' born at a different time, but the funny thins is that Lizzy and Masen can't pass off as twins considering Masen grows much faster than Lizzy does.

As I continued to rummage through my closet, I decided to finally get dressed in a white tang top and jean shorts. I then made my way down to the first floor of our island home to find the rest of my family.

The first thing I notice were my parents on the back patio discussing my mom's private tutoring. Dad thinks that it's almost time to relocate so that my mom could go to a real college and finally get her degree.

I'll miss these islands, after all it's where I spent the last four years of my life at. However, I know how much this meant to mom, and I didn't want to discourage her dreams. We weren't kids anymore, well except for Lizzy, and I think we were old enough to go to new places and act like normal teenagers. By now, all five of us had our blood lust and powers under control. After four years of being isolated on an island, I want to go back to school and make human friends. I wanted to graduate high school, go to my very own prom, and maybe go to college. And more importantly, I wanted to be around other kids.

As much as I love my family, I'm tired of being homeschooled with only them. Luckily today's Sunday, which means it's an off day, but it was not something I looked forward to anymore.

You see, we've been home schooled for the past few years. For the most part it's my dad teaching us, but some of my other relatives love teach us as well. Dad covers everything from math, science, language, and he's taught us about the human and vampire worlds. Grandpa loves to step in when it's biology or chemistry, or he'll retell stories about things back in the olden days. My mom teaches us about English, Aunt Rosalie teaches us about mechanics, Uncle Jasper teaches history, and Uncle Emmett has his own form of gym class. Grandma Esme even has her own version of economics with Aunt Alice.

I know for a fact that if I'm to go to a human school I'd be advanced in practically everything.

As my parents continued to talk, I made my way to the kitchen to go find some breakfast. I go to grab a yogurt from the fridge and head to the kitchen table to devour it. However, as I make my way to the other side of the room, I stop in my tracks.

There, right behind the French doors in our kitchen, stacking up a bucket filled with water balloons, was none other than Lizzy. She was in a camouflaged suit and had war paint under her green eyes.

I frowned at her and go to make my way over. "Liz, what the heck are you doing?"

"What does it look like," my little sister remarked, motioning to the water balloons. "I'm gonna knock Aidan right off his butt with these babies. Uncle Jazz is going to help me win this time. Uncle Em is on Aidan's team. The two got into a fight because Uncle Emmett broke Uncle Jasper's jet ski or something, I don't know. You know our uncles," she explained as she then flipped her bright bronze hair out of her face, revealing her emerald eyes.

Lizzy is my intelligent baby sister who is honestly like the next Einstein or something. She isn't someone to mess to because she can outsmart you in a heartbeat. Or in cases like my dear cousin, Aidan, who loves to annoy Lizzy, he always has to pay the price of her genius pranks and payback schemes. Despite the two often finding themselves in some sort of prank war, they are best friends and love to diverge their chaotic energy on the rest of the family. Next to my sister's imprinter, Seth Clearwater, Aidan is one of the closest people to my sister. However, when Seth visits and the three unite, we're always in for some sort of wild surprise with their various pranks and tricks.

"In other words, Uncle Jazz and I are having war with Aidan and Uncle Emmett. Care to join?" Lizzy asked as she held up the water balloons.

"No, I'm good," I told her as I ruffled her hair. "Thanks though."

"Sure... Hey! Uncle Jasper! Time for war!" Lizzy yelled out. Uncle Jasper came in a nano second later with the same outfit.

"Hey, Nessie," he said, noticing me as Lizzy skipped over to him with the bucket of water balloons. "You ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be!" Lizzy exclaimed.

"Great! Let's go get them munchkin," Uncle Jasper said to her before she jumped on his back. Within a nano second, they were out of sight and off to go find Uncle Emmett and Aidan.

Did I mention we also had tree houses? There's a bunch of tree houses we made scattered throughout the different islands, all with secret hiding spots we made as children. Normally that's where we use to play war games like what Lizzy was playing now, but most of us got older and outgrew those games.

When Lizzy and Uncle Jasper are gone, I decided to head outside to see if I could find my cousin. Sure enough, Lily was already on our island, sun bathing on our beach while Masen and Ethan wind surfed.

Ethan is my adopted elder brother, or everyone's brother basically. Esme and Carlisle kind of took him in as their own. He's just like Masen and Lizzy, a Lux Lamia, and he became a big part of this family about four years ago. He lost his family to this evil man, Lorenzo, when he was younger. We met up years after their death when we wanted to learn more about my sister and brother. We were also both being harassed by Lorenzo, just like Ethan's family, so we all teamed up to defeat him.

Thinking of Lorenzo caused a shiver up my spine as I touched the faded scar of a bite mark on my arm. No human eye could see it well, but I could. It was still there to remind me I almost died that day four years ago.

I sighed, shaking the thought out of my head, as I walked over to Lily. She has her sun glasses on so I knew she was admiring the 'view' or in other words, Ethan. She had like this big secret crush on Ethan. She has ever since she met him. As kids she even told me when Ethan wasn't around that she thought he was cute. I guess that simple little silly crush soon grew into an even bigger one.

"Hey, Lil," I said to my cousin. She was more like my sister than a cousin and one of my best friends. She was the only one on the island I could talk to that didn't live with me. Not that I couldn't talk to my sister or brother or even mom about stuff, but Lily was someone I could confide in. We usually talked about stupid stuff like crushes, our favorite television shows, and different trends we might've seen online.

"Hey, Ness," Lily said as she leaned back against the lawn chair to soak up some sun.

"So how's the eye candy?" I asked her through my power as I went to touch her forearm. I could practically see the eye roll behind her shades.

"It's still um cute," Lily squeaked out as she watched Ethan get splashed by the waves. I turned to see Masen as he splashed through the waves. He grew up so much and would be full grown in a matter of months. Masen probably had the shortest childhood out of anyone here, but also the least problematic since he spent the majority of his prime childhood years on the islands. Unlike me and my sister, my brother loves all different kinds of sports, specifically water sports since that was what was most readily available on the island. However, his main love in life is music. Masen can play a million instruments and had thousands of records, CDs, and decades of rock 'n roll memorabilia. He's a lot like my father in that way. Maybe not the taste of music, but music has something they've always bonded over.

If I had to describe my siblings personality wise, which parent we seemed the most like, I'd say: Masen is the most like dad, Lizzy is like mom, and I'm like both of them. Maybe that's because I was the only child to be evenly mixed in looks. I have my mother's chocolate brown eyes and my father's bronze hair, despite my bronze hair turning a darker shade throughout the years. The brunette streaks I had in my hair managed to darken throughout the years. My dad recalls his grandmother, who had similar hair to mine, went through something similar, or he remembers. His human memories weren't exactly the best to base off of.

As for my siblings, their looks were the exact opposite to their personalities. Lizzy looks the most like dad and Masen like mom, except for his face. Masen has my dad's chin and nose, but overall he looked like mom with his brown eyes and brown hair. Lizzy has maintained a bright bronze shade of hair and is the only one of the siblings to have green eyes like dad. However, Lizzy and I practically had the same face. When we were little they were practically identical. As we've gotten older they've grown different, but there's still a resemblance.

I proceeded to take a seat beside Lily and watched Ethan and Masen wind surf for a brief moment.

My brothers are very close. Since Masen grew up faster than the rest of us, for a brief moment in time he didn't always want to be hanging around us. He began to bond with Ethan when he was about two and since then the two have been like two peas in a pod. I guess Masen needed a guy friend or brother like that since Aidan is always off with Lizzy. He still loved Aidan like a brother, but he was closer to Ethan and Aidan to Lizzy.

Masen also became the little brother Ethan lost. Ethan does have a biological brother, Lucas, who went missing after the death of their parents. He just disappeared. No one, not even Ethan, knows where he is, but Ethan has some gut feeling he's alive. The weird thing is Lizzy and Masen both get the same feelings. My Grandpa and Ethan predicted that it's because they were all conceived in the same magic pool, they were all connected like siblings somehow. Even though Ethan and Masen may not seem to close to Lizzy, the three of them understand one another in ways we will never be able to understand. They all have some sort of Lux Lamia bond.

"So," Lily began as she took off her sun glasses and faced towards me. "Any word from Jake?"

I blushed thinking about Jacob Black. My imprinter. He has always been my protect and my best friend. I haven't seen him since the beginning of August when he and Seth had to head back to Washington a little earlier to help the alpha of the pack, Sam Uley, with some pack duties. Besides having an energetic four-year-old son Nathan, Sam and Emily were due to have a little baby girl this January, so things have been a little hectic for the family.

I really do miss Jake. Usually he stays the whole summer here before returning back home. Not to mention, as I've gotten older I've missed him even more so compared to when I was a child. When we first moved here I did miss him a ton, and he was on my mind a lot, but as I got older the more I thought about him. It started to feel like a part of me left as well.

Sometimes I wonder if this just means Jake and I are destined for each other. I fully understand what may come out of our bond. I wasn't stupid and Jake knew this so he explained to me what might happened when I was a kid. It scares me a bit, and definitely confused me a bit as a child, but I've accepted it and I've also chosen to not really think about it until the time came to think about it. I'm only physically sixteen. I want to date other boys, if we ever get off these islands, and see the world before I decide if I want to be in love or not. So for right now, I love having Jacob as a best friend and a protector. Someone I could confide in and trust wholeheartedly.

"Jake's good," I told Lily. I proceeded to then lean back against the lawn chair and let the sun warm my already heated skin. "He called me the other day. Said he's coming up for my birthday with Grandpa Charlie, Nanna Sue, and Seth."

"That's good..." Lily said, her thoughts seeming to drift elsewhere as she stared at Masen and Ethan wind surfing again.

"Something on your mind, Lil?" I asked, sensing she was thinking deeply about something. I could read Lily like an open book at this point.

"Yeah, I guess..." Lily said softly, pushing her sunglasses closer to her face. "You know...I overhead my parents talking last night. They were talking about a possible move. My parents want to either go to work or go to college with your mom. They want a change."

"So? Is it such a bad thing is we move?" I questioned as leant forward in the lawn chair to get a better look at my cousin. "You of all people talk about how you can't wait to join society again."

"No, it's not a bad thing," Lily said, biting her lip. "It's just...but between you and me.. well Mase, Lizzy, Uncle Edward, and Uncle Jazz probably know already- that's not the point. Look, I'm scared...of school."

"You, Lillian Gwen Hale, are scared of school?" I repeated, incredulously. I always pictured Lily someone to be on board with a topic like this. She was always a social little butterfly when it came to meeting new people. "Why?"

"I guess it's because I never went to a school before," she told me, shrugging before she went to fold up her glasses and place them besides her. "I've always been with you guys. I don't know what it's like to attend an actual school. I mean I've seen how it is on T.V but you and I both know that's not the real deal."

"Lily, it'll be fine. You're getting worried over nothing," I said to her. "Is there a real reason you don't want to go?"

Lily snorted as she rolled on her side so her blue eyes were looking into my brown. Her eyes looked a lot like Gwen's piercing blue.

I mentally sighed thinking about her. Gwen. I don't like to think about her often. Gwen was a human that Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper found in dire need of help. She didn't want to be like us, so after the twins were born, her body gave out. God, she was such a good friend to me when I was a kid.

I never blamed the twins for the death of my friend, and I don't blame myself either for my mother's 'death'. I know I never killed my mother, but I almost did. That is a thought always in the back of my mind. I feel a bit monstrous for doing what I did to her, but I knew wasn't a monster. After an incident where I almost lost my father to Lorenzo, it was only confirmed by my parents that they loved me more than life itself and never blamed me for what happened prior to my birth. After all, my mother and Gwen love us enough to endure a horrendous pregnancy so we could live. I just had to keep reminding myself once and a while.

"Okay...maybe it has to do with the fact we haven't left this island in like four or five years," Lily confessed to me. "We only leave for hunting and the vacations back to Forks. Aunt Alice always takes care of the shopping and so does Grandma, plus we have basically everything delivered to our doorstep so these islands are not found by the outside world...What if we come in contact with someone like Lorenzo again? Or the Volturi?"

I shivered at the thought of both. Both had a lot in common. Both are cold hearted murders and both wanted our family dead. Well the Volturi still want us dead, but we haven't heard from them in four years. Not since we defeated Lorenzo.

"We are a powerful family, Lily," I said as I took her hands in mine. "Nothing bad like Lorenzo will happen to our family again. And if it does we'll all be here to protect one each other."

She smiled at me and went to go give me a hug. "Oh Ness, you're a great sister. You know that?"

I chuckled at I patted her back. "Thanks Lily."

"What's going on here?" I heard a voice say. I look up to see Masen, grinning like a fool with Ethan. I rolled my eyes as Lily as I pull away from each other.

"Just some bonding. You know, heart to heart. Stuff like that," I told him, my tone light.

"Well that's lovely," Masen replied as he shook his head, getting us wet with the droplets form his thick messy hair.

"Ak! Masen Anthony Cullen, watch it!" Lily scolded at him as she hit him on the bicep. He let out a laugh as he went to pat her head.

"Sorry Lillian Gwen! Hey, I'm going to go take a shower," he announced before he dashed away.

I shake my head at my brother's antics. He may be a lot like dad personality wise, but he is way more outgoing. Not really the brooding type.

"I'm gonna go too. See ya ladies," Ethan said as he went over to our outdoor shower to rinse off before heading to his apartment on Isle Cullen. I giggled seeing Lily look over at him with a pair of googley eyes.

"You are so in love with him," I teased with her. She huffs as she went to lean back against the lounge chair.

"Just keep your mouth shut Renesmee Carlie. I may seem not like a person who would get down and dirty, but if I have to I will...Plus I know people," Lily warned me. I just snorted at this.

"Who? Lizzy and Aidan? Because those two will just make your plan backfire on not just me but you as well," I shot back. She rolled her eyes at me, but that's when a big red water balloon smacked her right in the head. She let out a piercing screech and turned to see Aidan with a balloon in hand.

"Oh, hey sis," Aidan said innocently, waving a hand at her. It was a matter of moments before Lily growled menacingly at him and went charging in his direction. I laughed as the two began to chase each other around our island.

"So the Hale twins are fighting again, what else is new?" Masen asked from where he had paused to say hi to Lizzy on our back patio. I chuckled as us Cullen siblings just watched them chase one another for the next couple of minutes until Uncle Emmett had to break up.

Later that night after a dinner consisting of grilled cheese and animal blood, I head out to my spot on the little swing my dad set up a few years ago. It was one of those handmade swings my parents thought would be a good idea for our front yard. It hangs by one of the larger tree's here and it's one of my favorite places to sit.

I was alone right now and all was at peace on the island. Lizzy was back in the home reading her book, Masen was playing video games with Ethan probably, and my parents were probably cuddling in their room upstairs.

I like to do this every night, say goodnight to the island. I'll stay there from sunset until it's dusk is out and the only light is the light from the stars and moon.

I proceeded to look up at the sky from my spot on the swing and smiled seeing all the stars beginning to light up the Brazilian sky. I felt a rush of warm wind brush gently against my face. I loved the peaceful nights on the island to the quiet serenity you get from just standing on the beach.

I sat out there for about a couple of more minutes before I headed back into the house to go to sleep.

And this, has been just another normal day on the Isles de Cullen.
