Okay here we are. I do not own Twilight or any of its characters but I own my OC's though. This is my first Twilight story so be nice. This story is about Renesmee but this is
Chapter 1: First Day
How would I explain my life? That's a good question. Why you ask? Well... I'm a half-vampire.
Yes, a half-vampire (my mom was human when she gave birth to me but I'd rather not talk about that. It was rather not the greatest hour for my family…). And, what's happening? Well, my life is starting to change. Hopefully, for the better…
I was looking out my bedroom window nervously. It was a normal rainy Juneau morning. My mom had been helping me get all packed but now stared at me with concern. "You don't have to do this, Renesmee," she said and I flinched. One of these days, I will have to ask her why the hell she had to name me Renesmee.
"I want to mom. I want to have a somewhat normal life," I muttered with aggravation. "I agreed that I would wait till I was fifteen to go to school and that I would get to choose which school," I reminded her as I swept a strand of my bronze hair from my face. My mother and father always tell me how beautiful I am yet I fail to see why I don't think I'm that pretty. But when you grow up around my Aunt Rose, I guess you would have some confidence issues.
"But Forks?" she asked, seemingly confused to why I would willingly choose to go to Forks, Washington.
"Yes mom, I want to stay with Grandpa Charlie," I said and it was true. I really missed him. "Not only that, but Jake will be there to protect me… and Aunt Leah and Uncle Seth." Basically, the whole pack of werewolves in La Push. Yes, Werewolves. You see why my life is hard to explain when it's filled with a bunch of mythical creatures… though it's hard to even say that when they're not myths.
"You miss him don't you?" she asked.
"Yes, of course mom—he imprinted on me." She grimaced having to remember about that fact. Though my mom loves Jake like a brother, she didn't like the fact that he imprinted on me. What is imprinting you ask? Well... it's kinda like love at first sight but that's not always the case. Even though Jacob imprinted on me, his true love is Aunt Leah, the only female werewolf in La Push. But that's another story.
As more thoughts poured into my mind, my father comes in. "Nessie dear, we better hurry. It's a long flight to Seattle."
"I know," I replied running out my room with me mom right behind me. I then gathered my bags in the living room, ready to go. The rest of my vampire family was at the door waiting to see me off. My Granny Esme gave me a hug and kissed my forehead.
"We'll miss you Nessie," she said holding me tightly.
"I'll miss you all too," I uttered softly and I meant it. It'll be weird being away from them.
"Ness, come on. You can't afford to miss the plane," Uncle Emmett stated, picking me up and carrying me to the Volvo. After a twenty minute ride (my family loves to drive fast which is scary since I'm technically alive) to the airport, my Mom and Dad kissed and hugged me one last time and I got onto the plane.
It was a three-hour flight so I tried to pass the time by reading Wuthering Heights for the hundredth time and watching the cheesy in-flight movie. But my mind began to drift.
Wow, I'm actually going to go to High School, I thought as I looked out my window. My first time going to High school because of the whole speedy age thing that apparently half-vampires have made me reach maturity at age of seven. So, I was a seven-year-old locked in a sixteen-year-olds body, which is really, really awkward. My parents made me promise that I would wait till I was my physical age caught up with my body before I went to school. But I got to choose. So, I went.
Then the lady sitting next to me asked me something, disrupting my thoughts. "Why are you here alone, dearie?" she inquired in a maternal tone. She had a cinnamon smell to her but I'm able to ignore that and I flash a dazzling smile and answered.
"I going to school in Washington, and I'm going to stay with my grandpa." She looked at me with a dazed expression. Hmm… I think I might have overdone it. Oh well, she was quiet the rest of the flight.
Finally, the plane landed at Sea-Tac Airport. As I walked past security I'm enveloped in a pair of massive russet arms. "Nessie, I'm so happy to see you!" a familiar voice yelled and I laughed, or at least tried to laugh since he was holding me a bit too tightly.
"Jake, need… to breathe here," I was able to get out as he laughed. He put me down and I notice a pair of russet skinned teenagers, a boy and a girl. "Hey, Aiden! Keira, how are you?" I said as I run up to them. The tall one, Aiden, laughs.
"We're doing great, Ness. What about you?"
"Doing fine. Jetlag and other things but I'll be good soon," I replied and then said, "Darn it, Aiden. You've gotten taller since last month.
"Yep. I'm 5'8" now," he grinned. "And your still tiny," he laughed and I bristled. Five feet and three inches is a perfectly average height for someone like me, thank you very much.
"For the last time: I. Am. Not. Tiny!" I retorted and swatted at his arm, causing him to laugh even more.
"Yeah sure, sure," he chuckled. I tried to be angry with him but I gave up. It's way too hard to stay mad at him.
"Excited about school, Nessie?" Keira asked me.
"Yeah, but I'm dreading Algebra."
"Don't worry. It won't be that bad."
"Easy for you to say. You've been to school." I muttered.
"At least we'll have classes with you." she replied, trying to make the situation sound better.
It's funny. They're a year and a half younger than me and they're in the same school year as me but when you have Edward Cullen as a tutor, it's hard not to skip a grade.
"How come they're closing La Push's school?" I inquired curiously. This year they deiced to close the school on the reservation, causing all the La Push kids to go to Forks High School.
"I'm not really sure. I guess because it was such a tiny school. It would be easier to send them to Forks," Aiden answered.
"Come on kids. It's a school night, and I don't want your mother ripping my head off," he said with an amused tone.
We walked to the rabbit and drove the several hours from Seattle to the tiny hamlet of Forks. Aiden wouldn't stop picking on me for the entire time and I tried to make small talk with Keira. I asked her if she had a boyfriend yet and to my surprise she said no. It's just hard to believe seeing how pretty she was with her inky black hair completing her beautiful russet skin. But people did seem to almost avoid people like us. The "creatures of legend" I guess you could call us.
After a few hours of talking and joking, we eventually drove up the driveway to Grandpa Charlie's house. Grandma Sue was waiting for us on the small porch and waved as we got out the rabbit. She then gave me a hug when I walked to her. "How are you Nessie dear?" she questioned.
"I'm doing fine, thank you, Grandma Sue," I answered. I then ran into the house and saw Grandpa Charlie near the door's opening. "Grandpa!" I yelled, hugging him.
"Nessie, I'm glad you came," he said loosening his grip. "I'll show you your room," he smiled taking my hand, leading me into the small room on the second story. Actually, it was my mom's room until she moved out. The only thing different is that fact the walls are a solid white color. "If you need anything just holler okay?" and with that he left me to unpack.
While the others were down stairs and I looked out the window. Wow, I'm really here... Tomorrow, I'll start school and be around normal people.
To say the least, I didn't sleep well.
I woke up to a delicious smell wafting from the kitchen. Yum. The smell of flour, eggs, milk, and other ingredients I knew so well being baked on griddle. Grandma Sue was making pancakes.
I tied my hair into a braid and put a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt on and headed down only to find the small kitchen full. Aiden was waiting impatiently for the pancakes do be done, while his sister was having a conversation with Charlie, excited about the first day of school. Their father on the other hand was nowhere to be seen. Most likely running around the woods making sure it was safe… "Hey Aiden, where's your dad?" I inquired.
"Oh, he's checking to make sure there are no leeches around," he says and I gave him a disapproving look. Apparently he inherited his father's general dislike for vampires other then my family.
"Do you have to insult vampires? Especially since I come from a vampire family," I questioned. He only shrugged.
"You know I don't mean insult you and your family. I just mean the kind of vamps who drink human blood," he retorted and then smiled. "Yes, the pancakes are done!" he nearly yelled with glee as Sue brought in a large platter of pancakes just as Jacob walked in.
"No leeches in sight," he said as Charlie sighed in relief. He was filled in on the whole vampire thing when he married Sue. He took it surprisingly well. Well, he already got the worse when Jacob… actually, I'll not mention that now…
"So, Jake, any new members of the pack?" I was getting curious. If more vampires start to show up, the pack grows to try and match the numbers.
"Nope, but we think Levi Uley might phase soon. He's gotten pretty tall and his sister says he's running a temperature," he mumbled. I nodded. Levi is Sam Uley's son. He's what… fifteen now? He was only a few month's younger than me.
"Why do we have to talk about Levi?" Aiden asked irritated. He'd never been a fan of the other boy. I didn't like him much either. He was always kinda mean when I was in La Push.
"And Abigail?"
"The same as always. I doubt she'll phase," Jake replied.
We finished breakfast and Jake gave us a ride to school. "Remember girls, stay away from teenage boys. I was one once and I know exactly what's on their mind," he said with his usual grin. I was almost tempted to say his first fantasies were about my mom but that is really disturbing to think about. "And Aiden," he continued, "make sure those boys keep their hands to themselves."
"Kay," the boy replied, mussing up his chin length hair. We headed to the office building to get our schedules. I looked at mine and grimaced.
First hour: Algebra
Second Hour: Anatomy
Third Hour: Health
Fourth Hour: English
Fifth hour: Art
Lunch
Sixth Hour: Gym
Seventh Hour: History
I groaned and Aiden snatched my paper from my hands with ease. "Wow, we got Gym together. Good thing. I wouldn't trust you with a racquet; I'll need to protect our classmates," he laughed.
I hate sports. It was the one thing I admittedly sucked at. I just happened to inherit my mother's equilibrium, which is to say that I have no sense of balance what so ever (except for when I'm hunting, luck would have it). "I'm not that bad!" I yelled and he chuckled even more.
"Remember when you played basketball with some of the Quiluete boys and you tripped so many times we had to drag you back to Grandpa Billy's house." I grimaced even more. Oh, remind me of the time I made a fool of myself in front of the whole lot Quiluete boys, thanks Aiden, I thought to myself glaring over to Aiden.
"Um...guys. We should head to class. I think the bell will ring soon," Keira stated and we went our different ways. As I was walking a tall girl with dark hair walked up to me.
"Who were those two kid's you where talking to?" she asked politely.
"Aiden and Keira Black. They're twins," I explained. I then held out my hand, "I'm
Renesmee Cullen."
"Ru-Nas-My?"
"Renesmee."
"Runezma?"
"Renesmee."
"Oh... Renesmee," she said, taking my hand and looked at me confused. "You have a weird name, you know that?" she stated and I nodded in agreement. My mom's naming of me was not her finest moment but I suppose it made sense where she made it up. But why she gave it to me, I'll never know.
"My mom wanted to put both of my grandmother's names into mine. I think she was drugged up pretty bad though. Mostly I go by Nessie though," I clarified, taking my hand back. "And you are?"
"Oh, Caitlyn Cheney," she replied. "I think our parents went to school together." She had a nice smell to her… Sakura and honey wafted over to me as I spaced out.
"Oh, I guess. The odds are good in this tiny school," I say, still continuing the conversation.
"Weren't those kids from La Push though? Why are they here? I thought they had their own school."
"They closed it down for some reason," I said and we walked to our next class. Algebra was horrible, just as I imagined. Another thing I got from my mother: my ineptness in math. Thankfully, Caitlyn seemed pretty good in that particular area.
After a torturous hour, I find out we have Anatomy together and we were able to make small talk. She told me about her family and her eight-year-old brother and life in Forks. I told her about Juneau and the fact I was home schooled until my parents let me go to an actual high school.
"Why did you move here though?" she asked confused.
"I wanted to see what my mom and dad went through. I thought it would be… interesting," I explained as we walk through the door. All the tables are filled up except two. I decided to sit next to a boy with unusually amber eyes while Caitlyn sat next to Aiden. Huh, I didn't know we had second hour together…
As soon as I took my seat, the boy glared at me. I'm a bit surprised. He didn't even know me. What did I do make him glare at me? I glared right back at him. I'll be damned if I let a boy intimidate me!
The teacher, Mr. Owens, gave us a lecture of something I've done many times before since my father went to medical school twice he taught us a lot about Anatomy. Aiden looked bored and instead of listening, he did his work from English. Mr. Owens then gave us our first assignment, which I finish within the next five minutes and then class is dismissed.
The boy walked out before I even got out of my seat. What's wrong with that boy? I'll have to ask Caitlyn after class.
As we walked out, I see Caitlyn blushing a little and Aiden's confused face. "She just started blushing for no reason," he muttered. "All I said is that she smelt nice."
I ignored him and asked, "Hey Caitlyn, who was that boy I sat next to?"
"Oh, that's Allen Irving. He moved here with his father and sister a few months ago..." she paused. "He's strange though. He never talks to anybody and I could have sworn the last time I saw him, his eyes were black," she muttered.
Black eyes… I looked to Aiden. "Like his?" I questioned pointing to Aiden's dark eyes.
"No, darker… even a bit scary."
Then it hit me. Oh crap! Could that boy be a vampire? She noticed his eyes changing from black to amber if she finds out...
"Don't matter… who cares. Guy probably wears contacts," Aiden said.
I guess he had the same idea I did. But his eyes are amber not blood red, so that meant he wasn't a threat to humans. But I thought that only my family and the Denali Clan were the only ones who were the so called "vegetarians".
School passes by quickly and lunch soon came. Caitlyn and I sat with Aiden, Keira, Abigail and Claire who's in her senior year, trying to persuade Quil into dating other girls. Another thing that proves that imprinting is not always love at first sight.
"Hey, Nessie, Irving's looking at you!" Caitlyn said in awe.
I turned and saw the boy glare at me, again. I feel a rush of anger flow through me. How dare he judge me before I even talk to him? I turn back to my food and continue to eat, trying to get my anger under control before I talk to anyone else. It was still weird to my family that I prefer human food to blood but hey that's me.
I then look over and notice a group of Quiluete boys. And at the center was Levi Uley.
Damn... Jake wasn't kidding when he said he had gotten tall. He had to be 6'4 by now… definitely about to phase. Beside him was Sherry Tate, his girl-friend of two years. I wonder if she knows about the werewolves yet…
"Nessie! Hey, Ness," Aiden yelled getting my attention back to the table. "I was asking you how your first day is going."
"It's doing fine. I really don't want to go to gym though," I complained.
"Don't worry. I'll be there to keep you from hurting yourself," he replied. I tried to be mad at him, I really do, but it's too much of a chore for the moment.
"Thank you so much," I retorted sarcastically.
Then lunch passed and we headed to gym. Thankfully, we do not have to do anything since it was the first day of school. Unfortunately, we're going to do Tennis in a few days and I shuddered. I really didn't want to deal with that but I have to get the grade…
After gym, I have History with Keira. The teacher decides that he going have us discuss something that had happed in the last few years. So, he gives an inaccurate description of certain events that bother me. I know that the killings in Seattle were the cause of newborn vampires, not gangs. But what was I going to do? Raise my hand and tell them the truth? Ha. I'd end up in the funny farm before someone would believe me. Eventually class lets out and Jake was there waiting to pick us up.
"How was your day, kids?" he asked and we excitedly went into an explanation of the day in completely detail. He then drove to Charlie's house, where Grandma Sue is already making a snack for us.
"Hey dad, there's this boy at school and one of the students said his eyes went from black to amber. He might be a vampire," Keira whispered while Sue had her back to us.
"You sure, kiddo?" he asked. "If his eyes where amber doesn't that mean he drinks animal blood, right?" They looked to me and I shrugged.
"I guess but I doubt it has been that way for long. I say he just started doing it," I replied. "But it was odd. For some reason… he kept glaring at me…" I looked over to the others and they glanced at each other worriedly. "I wouldn't worry about it now though. He must have some restraint to go to a human school and it was too crowded for me to get a scent. We'll probably find out more later." With that, the conversation ended and we went about our business.
I helped Sue with dishes as Aiden and Keira cleaned up the table. We watched a game for a few hours with Charlie, and then Jacob and the others headed home. I took a shower and dressed in my night gown and go to bed, tired out by the events of today.
Well here it is. Love it? Hate it? Reviews are appreciated but please don't review to tell me how much you hate Nessie. Thanks goes to Lightheart77 for editing... Anyway thanks for reading now leave a review
