A.N. - Sunrise was the first story I ever wrote. It's complete but I have gone back and am fixing a number of things, including my writing style which I think (hope) has gotten slightly better; I'm in the process of fixing and reposting the revised version (Sunrise) and also publishing it under the new title Orbiting Satellites Books 1-6 (same story just broken up into smaller sections). I was originally going to keep Sunrise as the original version but there are just so many errors, but I will be updating it as I post on Orbiting Satellites. You will be able to tell what has and what has not been updated by the chapter title formatting.

(Spoiler Alert - sort of) As for the changes I don't think I got Jacob exactly right the first time around. He needed to be more Alpha, less second-guessing of himself. I'm not going to change the major events in the story, just his reactions and internal monologue on things. And I have thought of a few other things I wanted to add in that are missing. I am also writing actual chapters for the first few "50 years after" recap chapters and have it be more consistent with the rest of the story. This is going to make the story even longer hence the reason for me to republish it in 6 smaller installments.

If you are reading the Sunrise version you can find the new version, Orbiting Satellites - Book One, here - s/13204890/1/Orbiting-Satellites-Bk-1-Sunrise-revised

Prologue

"AAAAAAH!"

Jerking up in bed, my eyes automatically started looking around for whoever was screaming. My heart was pounding a mile a second. It wasn't until I saw that the room was empty that I figured out it had come from me. That explained the soreness in my throat.

"NESSIE… WHAT HAPPENED?" Jacob yelled as he burst in through the door, banging his head on the low frame of the cabin, in the process. He was shaking, ready to phase and attack whatever had threatened his Imprint.

"I had another bad dream," I told him as my mama and daddy rushed into my bedroom behind him.

My Jacob immediately calmed down, but my daddy scrunched up his face like he knew something I didn't. Was there some scary danger in here that he heard with his mindreading? I tensed up.

"It's not that," he assured me. "It's just concerning that your nightmares have returned."

After the Volturi people's mission to kill me and my family was ruined and they went home, my nightmares began. I'd tried to be brave when I used my gift to show Mr. Aro that I wasn't dangerous to other Vampires. After he talked to my daddy, Aunt Alice, and two new friends that she and Uncle Jasper brought home with them, the scary Volturi left and my grandfather said that all the danger was over. Everyone was so proud of me and I was happy I didn't let them down and we didn't die. But that night, when I went to bed, I had a bad dream that the Volturi people came back. They realized they had made a mistake, and I really was dangerous. Then they killed me, my mama and daddy, and the rest of my family, my Jacob and all of the other Wolf people, and all of my new friends that had come to help me. Every night I closed my eyes the same dream came and didn't end until my screams woke me up.

When I had my first nightmare I refused to go back to sleep. Mama climbed into my bed to cuddle with me but as soon as she touched my arm I thought of the icy coldness of Mr. Aro's cheek and I automatically recoiled. It reminded me of my bad dream. "Sorry," I quickly apologized.

She said it was okay, but I think I made mama sad.

"I got it," Jacob said as he took me from mama and wrapped me in his arms, "Nessie, it's okay. You're completely safe," he whispered to me as he rocked me in his arms and carried me to the couch in the living room. "No-one is ever going to hurt you as long as I'm around, and I'm not going anywhere." He kept telling me things like that and I started to relax. The next thing I knew it was morning, I was still in my Jacob's arms.

He did the same thing the next night after I had another nightmare. And the next few after that.

One night I didn't even make it to my bed. I fell asleep in my Jacob's arms while we were watching a movie. I didn't have another nightmare and as nice as Jacob was I didn't want him losing any sleep, or spending any more nights on an uncomfortable sofa. And I missed my bed. So two nights ago I went back to sleeping in my own room.

This went on for another two weeks. Every night I'd have a nightmare. Either my mama, daddy or Jacob would try to help me to get back to sleep, but my Daddy quickly figured out that unless I was in my Jacobs warm comforting arms I would get another nightmare.

The Micro Moon

Year One, Chapter One

The Discussion

Renesmee's Point of View

It was the third of February, 2006. Just over one month after our encounter with the Volturi - the rulers of our Vampire world. We had successfully convinced them (at least publicly) that neither I, nor my family were a threat, and did not need to be destroyed, so now things were peaceful again between us. For how long we were not sure, but chose not to dwell on that. Life, if you could consider a family of Vampires alive, moved on and we had begun to settle into a comfortable routine.

Some in the Cullen house had started talking amongst themselves soon after, that maybe, it might be time to leave Forks, Washington. It was thought, at least by them, that we needed to move and start over, not only because of the recent unpleasant memories now associated with this area but because my father, Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents have been here too long and people were starting to notice that the family didn't age; moreover Grandpa and Grandma's ages never matched up, even at the beginning.

My Grandpa, Carlisle Cullen, although he was born sometime around 1640, was changed into a Vampire when he was physically twenty-three, which he will eternally remain, but was currently trying to pass for someone closer to thirty-five. People at the hospital, where he was a doctor, were getting more and more suspicious, and the plastic surgery rumors were only keeping peoples suspicions at bay to a limited degree. And his wife, my Grandma, whom he had changed back in 1921, Esme Anne Platt Cullen, was forever twenty-six, not someone who looked old enough to be married for the past decade, let alone almost a century.

It was a bit better for their adopted "children". Among those were my Uncles - Emmett McCarty Cullen and Jasper Whitlock Hale, and their wives, my Aunts - Rosalie Lillian Hale and (Mary) Alice Brandon Cullen respectively. Aunt Rose and Uncle Jasper were pretending to be twins, hence them both using Aunt Rose's original human last name of Hale. Uncle Emmett and Aunt Alice were borrowing my Grandpa's last name of Cullen while living in Forks. They had pretended to be high school students when they first moved here four years ago.

Although Uncle Emmett, Uncle Jasper and Aunt Rosalie could pass for recent high school graduates, being that they were first turned into Vampires when they were all originally between eighteen and twenty years of age, it had been harder to pretend to be the sixteen year old Juniors they had claimed to be, when the Cullen's first moved to Forks, four years ago. Now, however they were easily passing for twenty year olds.

Aunt Alice was changed when she was nineteen, but at only 4'10 she could pass for much younger, which was good because she started out at Forks High School as a fifteen year old sophomore, and was now able to keep up the charade as a nineteen year old.

Things were almost as easy for my grandparents other adopted child, my father, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. Carlisle had changed him into a Vampire in 1918, when he was dying of Spanish Flu. He was just seventeen at the time, and still appeared so now, instead of the nineteen years old he was pretending to be, but again that was not that bad.

At least my mother, Isabella Marie Swan Cullen, or Bella as she preferred, had it easy, actually being the nineteen year old She's supposed to be; although if you asked her, she will forever claim to be eighteen, just shy of her nineteenth birthday when she gave birth to me and was changed, by my father, into her new Vampire self.

Then there is my Jacob. Jacob William Black is a shape-shifting Werewolf who is technically seventeen, but appears, and will forever look to be around twenty-five years old. That is, he will if he continues phasing; this is due to the changes that occurred with him when he first became a Wolf. He effectively stopped aging and became immortal like the rest of my family. He's the Alpha, the leader of his Wolf Pack and the biggest, fastest, strongest, bravest Wolf in La Push. He's perfect and I love him.

Lastly there is me, Renesmee Carlie Cullen. Nessie for short. While I have only been alive for five months, I have grown a lot since our encounter with the Volturi where I resembled the average human toddled, around two years of age. My Half-Vampire genetics enable my body to grow and mature faster than a humans, and my mind grows even faster still. I now have the mental equivalency of a young adult and appear similar to a three or four year old toddler. I grow so quickly, that I must mostly remain hidden from humans for now, possibly until I stop growing, when I turn seven.

Everyone will probably agree easily to move with one exception... my Jacob. I surmised that my mother was also going to put up somewhat of a fight since it meant having to move away from her father, my Grampy Charlie, but I believe she will eventually be okay. Jacob is the only one I am truly worried about.

The whole family, Grandma Esme, Grandpa Carlisle, Aunt Alice, Uncle Jasper, Aunt Rosalie, Uncle Emmett, my mother and father, Jacob and I of course, were currently sitting around the dining room table, well I was sitting in my usual spot, on Jacobs lap. Since my family were mostly Vampires, and Jacob and I were the only ones who ate human food, and I only when forced, the dining room mainly was used for family meetings such as this. The rest of my family, being Vampires, drank blood, animal blood, that is. The family joke was that we called ourselves vegetarians. I say we and not they because even though I can eat human food I am half-Vampire and drink blood as well. Actually I prefer it, even if my parents continually try to get me to consume human food. I don't understand how my Jacob eats that stuff.

I heard Grandpa Carlisle speaking to my father earlier in the day regarding his desire to call this meeting. His intent being to discuss the upcoming move and pick a suitable location.

"Thank you everyone for meeting me here, since this involves us all," my Grandpa Carlisle began. "As you are all aware we have been in Forks for approximately four years now but in light of recent events I believe it is time for us to move on."

"WHAT?" Jacob yelped from his chair. I guess the news had taken him by surprise. Perhaps I should have warned him ahead of time. "You can't just leave. I thought we settled this back in September?"

I knew why Jacob was so upset. He had Imprinted on me the day I was born, the first moment he had looked into my eyes. Aunt Rosalie was holding me while my father was desperately trying to save my mother after my traumatic birth. It's events like that that make me wish I could not always remember every single detail of my life. But then I think that if I did not have such perfect recall I might not remember the look on my Jacobs face when he first saw me. It was love at first sight. Not romantic, I was just a baby after all, but still love. We were bound together, forever. He can no longer leave me, anymore than I could leave him.

My Grandfather continued in his normal, somewhat overly relaxed voice, "Jacob, circumstances have changed. Of course we understand that you cannot be away from Renesmee, since you Imprinted on her, and we are taking that into consideration regarding the proximity of our destination. While this means that we are asking you to break from your Pack, at least temporarily, we are also taking that understanding into our deliberations for the destination of our next move."

"Huh?" was all Jacob seemed able to get out.

At the same time Rosalie started screaming. "You want the dog to come with us? Now we're never going to get rid of the stench."

"Hush Rose!" Grandma Esme snapped at her, then turned to us and her scowl that she had give my Aunt disappeared, replaced by a small smile. "Jacob, we were assuming that you would want to come with us and we would all love to have you." Since I was sitting on his lap I could feel him relax beneath me, as soon as she said this.

Uncle Jasper spoke up next. "We need to be logical about this move. I believe we need to move, yes, but we also need to stay in the area."

Some confused looks swept through several members of the room, but not all. I assumed my father already knew what Uncle Jasper was going to say, since he could read his mind. And by the sound of the conversation, Grandma and Grandpa were already in on some of the details of the travel plans, even if all of the finer points had not been worked out yet. And Aunt Alice must have seen us moving, in one of her visions of the future.

But as Uncle Jasper continued his plan made a lot of sense. Having been a general in the Civil War when he was human, and then a leader in Maria's army, his Vampire creator, during the Southern Vampire Wars, he was always the (battle) strategist. "Obviously we need to leave the immediate area, for three main reasons."

Three? I could only think of two currently. What was I missing?

"First, as Carlisle stated, we have been here too long and cannot risk human exposure."

Agreeing nods swept across the table.

"Second, we've already been exposed to too many unknown Vampires, who are a possible threat. A lot of Vampires now know not only about us, and our vegetarian diet, but also about Renesmee, one of only a handful of half-Vampires. While those that stood witness with us should not be a threat, I cannot think the same of those that stood with the Volturi."

"What about the Volturi? They're still a threat too aren't they?" Jacob asked, as if it was the most obvious statement in the world.

"The Volturi are always a threat," Aunt Alice grinned, "but not immediately. I saw to that. They publicly went on record in front of the majority of the Vampire world, stating that we broke no laws and Renesmee was not a threat, so I don't see them attacking; at least any time in the near future."

"Great," Jacob muttered under his breath.

"Third we should leave the immediate area unless we want the entire Quileute Tribe changing into Werewolves," Uncle Jasper finished with a smirk in Jacob's direction.

Jacob had a puzzled look on his face again, and I wasn't completely sure what he was thinking.

"That being said, I don't think we dare go too far. We should stay close enough to Forks to monitor any possible nomadic Vampire curiosity in the near future, yet far enough away that we won't continue to set off the Quileute Wolf gene. And also," he now turned to speak directly to my Jacob, "if you do choose to come with us, it would seem best for you to be able to stay in communication with your Pack. At least for this move. That limits us to within three hundred miles from here, I believe."

Jacob just nodded.

Now I was confused, which almost never happened, given my perfect Vampire recall, enhanced thought processes, and advance brain. But I had to ask something. I placed my hand on his check to use my gift. It was how I communicated. Projecting my thought into someone's mind. I could talk, but preferred to communicate this way. Why is there a question as to whether you would come with us? If the whole family has to move wouldn't that include you too?

I could feel Jacob tensing up again as I continued to sit on his lap.

Why didn't Uncle Jasper, or the others, think Jacob was a part of our family? I knew Aunt Rosalie wasn't always the nicest to him, but my parents had told me that even in the closest families not everyone always got along. But he was my family, I didn't think anyone else would want him gone, how could I have missed something that big?

My father turned to me and gently started to explain. Since he could read minds he also heard what I had said to my Jacob "No, Renesmee, that's not what Jasper means. No one," he glanced so quickly over to Aunt Rosalie I almost missed it, "wants Jacob to leave us. But he has another family on the Reservation. He might not want to, or be able to leave them to come with us."

My heart sank at this news, but I guess I could understand that. Jacob had his father, Billy, and sister, Rachel, back on the Reservation. He, for all intents and purposes lived with my parents and me, at the cottage, a mile away from the main house we were in now, where the rest of my family lived. It was hard for me to picture him living with his other family. He had been with us for my entire life, not that it had been that long, but I just took it for granted. I guess it had not always been like this. But he had Imprinted on me, didn't that mean he would be with me forever, wherever and whenever I went? Was I wrong? Was I being selfish? Was I taking him away from his other family? His real family? But weren't we his family too? Wasn't I his real family? Wasn't he... I was snapped out of my head by the sound of my Jacob's voice. "I'm coming with you. I'll work something out with my Pack. If we stay within three hundred miles it won't be a problem. I'll figure it out." He was talking to everyone, but looked directly at me when he spoke.

Oh no, I didn't even think about how this would affect his Pack.

"What about you family, Jake?" my mother spoke for the first time. "Will they be okay without you? Or you without them?" she added thinking the same as me. We always seemed to be in agreement on most things.

"They have each other. My dad will be fine. He has Rachel to look after him, keep him company, and help him if he needs anything. And she has Paul." Paul Lahote was a Wolf in another Quileute Pack, under the other Alpha, Sam Uley. Rachel had been away at college, but moved back into her old room at Billy's ages ago to be with Paul soon after he Imprinted on her. Paul had a bad temper sometimes, but he loved Jacob's sister more than anything, he would never hurt her. And Jacob told me that they already decided they were going to live with Billy for a time after their wedding, while they saved up to buy a place of their own. "Jasper is right, we need to leave."

"What about you, Jake? Can you really leave them?" my mother tried again.

"It won't be a complete break yet, not totally, Bella," my father spoke up. "We can still visit now and then. You can visit Charlie, and Jacob can see Billy, Rachel, and his Pack. We will have to limit our travel to vehicles, no running, to minimize our scent trail. There will be no point in moving if we just lead more Vampires to our new home. And of course, at that close of a distance it won't be too hard for them to visit us as well."

With that my mother seemed to relax and the discussion moved on to choosing a new town to live in. When it was all said and done we all agreed on Hoodsport, WA. It was only around one hundred miles away from La Push, on the other side of the Olympic National Forest, well within the three hundred mile limit, and a three hour drive since we would need to go around the Olympic National Forest. But that meant my family and I would still be able to hunt there in emergencies, and we already knew the local "food supply". All regular hunting was agreed to be conducted further away, in Canada, traveling back and forth by car, to minimize our scent trail in the area, like my father had said. The town had a high school which my mother and father, my Aunts and Uncles, and Jacob would attend.

Jacob still had to complete his Junior and Senior years in order to graduate, since he had to drop out when he first began phasing into a Werewolf, and the others would go to keep up appearances. Grandma Esme agreed to home school me.

We decided that we would wait to move until mid September, after my mother's and my birthday's so that my Grampy, Charlie Swan, would get to celebrate with his daughter at least once more. This also gave Grandpa Carlisle enough time to give appropriate notice at the hospital. They would have plenty of time to be able to find a suitable replacement, and Grandpa Carlisle saw no problem in securing another medical job at the local MGH Hoodsport Family Clinic. It wasn't a hospital but he was sure he could do some good there.

My mother and Uncle Jasper also needed to get in touch with Mr. Jenks to create new identifications, school transcripts, credentials, and whatever else we would need for everyone to start over. I was told that he was a human who specialized in those types of things for the family, in exchange for some very generous monetary compensation. Everyone would get new identities except me and my Jacob, actually. He really did drop out of school his Junior year so he just needed to re-enroll and his father agreed to fill out the needed paperwork for Grandpa Carlisle to become his temporary guardian.

In the meantime, Grandma Esme was thrilled to be able to start working on finding a suitable house and converting it to meet our needs, so that when September rolled around we would be able to move right in to a completely renovated and furnished house.

"Nessie, I can tell something's bothering you. Wanna tell me what it is so I can help?" Jake asked me as we were goofing around in the forest behind our cottage. We had come out here soon after my grandfather adjourned the meeting. As usual my Jacob was all smiles.

How will Zafrina, and her coven, find us if we move? I asked him with my gift. I would be heartbroken if I didn't get to see her pretty pictures ever again.

He scowled. "Hopefully they won't," I heard him mumble under his breath, before he started speaking louder. "I don't know sweetheart." When he saw my frown he quickly added, "I'm sure Edward or Alice would be able to find them though. I wouldn't worry about it. Why do you want to see her though? She gave me the creeps."

"I like seeing what she sees. Her eyes are amazing."

"You should be happy you don't have eyes like hers," he replied.

What? Oh no! I tried talking and everything got messed up. That's not what I meant. I should have just showed him. I meant to saw that I liked what she saw and showed with her gift, not her actual eyes. But they were pretty too, not like my boring brown ones. Why didn't my Jacob like my friend's eyes? Maybe he just had never seen how pretty the color was; Aunt Rosalie had some jewelry that was the same color. I bet that would help him understand what I meant. Using my gift, I touched him lightly on the cheek and showed him a picture of Zafrina's eyes. Then I showed him Aunt Rosalie wearing her earrings.

"Pretty," I added out loud. I wasn't a fan of talking but he was always encourage me to do it more, so if it made him happy and helped get my point across I would do it, just as long as I didn't have to do it all the time.

"Sure, sure," he said back, but he didn't look convinced. In fact it looked like he disagreed with me, but didn't want to hurt my feelings. "Vampires are unnaturally pretty. I know." He was smiling, but I also saw him roll his eyes when he turned his head.

Argh! I went back to pulverizing some small rocks into dust with my hands and decided to try again sometime in the future, once I figure out how to articulate my point better, but it wasn't needed.

Daddy had heard me and when we went back to the cottage came over to talk. "Renesmee, I don't want you to worry. I'll find a way get in touch with Zafrina and give her our new address, so you can stay in contact with her," he told me and then asked to talk to me privately.

My Jacob always seemed to get sad when I was out of his sight, but we only went into my mother and father's bedroom. After closing the door, he whispered, ensuring Jacob wouldn't here us (probably), some suggestions of how to talk to him about Zafrina, but he warned me it would not be that easy. He reminded me that Zafrina's red eyes meant she took the lives of those the Wolves existed to protect.

I know he was right, but I still wanted us all to be friends. It might take time, but I knew I could do it.

He smiled at my determined thought, but I don't think my father was convinced I was going to be successful. It only made me more determined to prove him wrong.
