A/N: Welcome! I am trying something different from my usual way of writing and doing a story about Renesmee and Jacob. Please be patient with me, and I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight Saga but I do own this story and it's plot.

CHAPTER 1:

RENESMEE'S POINT OF VIEW:

Seven years had passed since I was born, and I was fully grown. There had been no interaction with the Volturi since that horrid day in the clearing. My family, including Jacob's little pack of five, was currently living in Brazil, just outside of Rio de Janeiro. Dad and Papa were still exhausting themselves with research, even after all this time. Everyone else had lost interest long ago and ignored them. I didn't understand what could be so fascinating about me.

In those seven years, my relationship with Jacob had also strengthened. Jacob and I have become very close. We weren't exactly in love, but I thought there was budding romance. Just this year, Jacob had seemed to be more than a brother. I don't think that anyone else noticed, but there was definitely a spark between us.

I couldn't blame Jacob for becoming interested in me. I was every boy's favorite candy. I was skinny, but not boney and I had curves in all the right places. I had a bubble butt, and my boobs were just right, not too big and not too small. I was beautiful, and I knew it.

"Come on, Renesmee Honey, we have to go," Grandma said.

"Coming," I said, stuffing my last pair of shoes in my bag.

Grandpa, Grandma, and I were going to Isle Esme for the weekend so that everyone else could go on a hunting trip. The pack would be staying at the house. I didn't understand why Mom and Dad didn't trust me to be home alone with the wolves. I pitied Leah; she would be the only girl there for two days.

She was sort of like my best friend. Against the odds, we had grown very close to each other. She had always been there for me through all the teenage drama. Mom had been there too, but, I mean, come on, she's my mom after all. It wasn't like I could talk to her about everything. I guess you could say that Leah and I had a good relationship because we really didn't have any choice.

I was a bit surprised at how things turned out. I kind of figured that we'd have a love triangle consisting of her, me, and Jake since she had shown some interest in him. But that wasn't the case at all. Now she and Embry were engaged, and Quil and Claire were dating. I thought that it was all kinda creepy, but what was normal about us?

I grabbed my bag and headed down to the dock where everyone was waiting.

"Goodbye, I'll see you later," Mom said, kissing my cheek.

I hugged everyone, everyone except Jake. Things were . . . awkward between us now, and everyone could see it. It was obvious that Jacob wanted to be with me from the way he stared at me all the time, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my love life. I kind of didn't want to deal with all the relationship crap. Staying single was looking better and better, and Dad certainly didn't have a problem with that. I settled for a simple wave at Jake before climbing into the boat with Carlisle and Esme. I wasn't too thrilled about this weekend, but it was better than being in Jake's fascinated stare.

I lay down across the back of the boat, letting the sun warm my skin. I was glad that I didn't have to wear skin-colored suits like the rest of my sparkling family. Of course, that was only out in public, but I didn't like the idea of having a bodysuit on for any period of time.

In my opinion, there was only one good thing about coming to South America. I liked the fact that we weren't too far away from the Amazon Coven, Zafrina, Senna, and Kachiri. We had formed a strong friendship over the years. So strong that I sometimes felt like the fourth Amazon, or we almost added three more to our Cullen/Quileute brood. The only difference was that I was quite a bit more tame then their wild style of living and clothing. Though I was quite fond of their necklaces.

When we got to the island, I immediately took my suitcase to the "Blue Room" as we called it and began to unpack. I shoved everything into the drawers, not bothering to sort it. Then I took out the picture of Mom and Dad on their wedding day and put it on the nightstand. I put my heart-shaped necklace with the picture of our little family of three around my neck along with the necklace the Amazons had given me. I loved the complicated bead pattern. Finally, I took out the dream catcher that Jacob had made for me. I traced the strings that were woven to look like a spider web. I thought of how close Jake and I were, but now we seemed to be growing apart because things were so awkward. I didn't want that, and neither did he. I thought that it would be easier to be around him if he'd stop looking at me like I was gold all day, but part of me wondered if it was me that was causing the problem. I didn't see how, but I knew it was possible.

I sighed, and tied it to the bedpost. I still wore my bracelet that was also from him proudly every day. I kept it to remind me of what we used to be like. Fun, like brother and sister. Even when we started showing just a little bit of interest in each other it was okay. But ever since Jacob had started this staring thing, we were a bit uncomfortable.

"Renesmee? Is something bothering you Sweetheart?" Carlisle asked, coming into the room.

"No, just thinking," I said, snapping back into reality.

"Your grandmother and I were thinking about going for a hike around the island. Do you want to come?" he asked.

"No. I'll probably just stay here and watch a movie or something. You two go enjoy your time alone," I said.

"All right." He kissed my cheek. "We'll be back later, then. I love you."

"Love you too," I said.

Once I was alone, I got up and went into the kitchen. I was kinda hungry so I grabbed a cup of animal blood and the bag of chips and sat down on the couch. My diet consisted of half blood and half human food. I liked both.

I flipped on the TV and settled on the channel that was already on. The movie was some old black and white film. I really wasn't that interested. I couldn't stop thinking about Jacob.

I wanted our old relationship back. I honestly had no idea how or why it had ever changed. I had a feeling that it had something to do with me getting older, but I also felt that there was more to it than that. I had tried to talk to Jacob about it, but he had said that everything was fine. Did he truly believe that? I didn't think so. I think that he was just trying to ignore it. I didn't know if he would ever realize that something needed to be done.

I could tell that he wasn't happy with the way things were. He claimed to be, but I knew the truth. My family had never said anything about it, so I wasn't sure if they noticed or not. If they knew about it, someone probably would have talked to me about it by now. I had almost asked Leah for advice, but I decided that I didn't want her getting into this.

Another thing that I liked about being half-human was that I could sleep. It sometimes was my only escape. I didn't know how my vampire family dealt with hard things. They didn't get the escape that I did. Of course, all of their lives were fine and dandy now ever since the Volturi ordeal. It still haunted me to this day. I kind of wished that I was human so that I could forget all about it.

If only I could be so lucky.
