Chapter 11: The Times They Are a Changin’
“So, toi have an ice house.” I offered. It was a nice house a decent size with beautiful furniture. But it had an empty feel to it. Sienna shrugged, a house and a accueil are two different things she a dit bitterly. Ever since my mother died my father consumes himself with work. My sister Jessica took off after graduation she lives in Buffalo, NY. I was not really close with her we are complete opposites. I guess toi could say my mom was the glue that held this family together”. “How long il y a did she die? I asked. “I was a baby I don’t even remember her.” Sienna a dit quietly. I’m sorry I told her. I couldn’t imagine being without my mother ou father they were my life, my entire huge wacky family was my very essence I felt horrible for her and thought how odd it was that a mansion full of vampires was plus comforting than this lonely house. “It’s alright; I’m a loner she smiled slyly. We watched TV for a bit and she showed me her drawings. There were many of this mysterious girl. She also had drawings of a guy who looked familiar I just couldn’t put my finger on it. “Who is that guy?” I asked her. “I have no idea, I keep dreaming about him and the girl in my other drawings.” “Huh” I commented. “Well these are really good toi are pretty talented.” She smiled shyly which was out of character for her I had yet to see her be timid about anything. “They’re alright she said, “I really want to go to college for art. It’s the only thing hat means anything to me.” I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t invited her to my party yet. “Si, I said, “do toi want to come to my birthday party tomorrow night? It’s my sweet 16. It’s probably going to be lame, I have a ton of family coming in from out of town and my aunt is like this deranged party planner I could use toi there for moral support.” She lit up when she heard me describe my family. “I would l’amour to; I haven’t been to any type of family function in so long.” One plus thing I added with a cringe, “It’s a formal event” she laughed “I can handle it don’t worry.” I smiled at her “if toi want toi can just come accueil with me and we can get ready together. My aunt loves playing dress up I am sure she has a robe that toi could borrow.” She looked truly excited. It sounds really fun Ness I would l’amour to come. “So is that guy coming?” She asked with interest. “Who Nahuel?” “That’s his name?” she asked with wide eyes “mmm exotic.” She teased “Oh shut up Si I told her with a giggle. “He’s invited but he looked pretty mad so who knows.” I told her. “Well either way we will have fun” she promised. I hugged her and then I walked out of the house I called my mother but my father answered this time.” I will be down the rue in two seconds” he growled. I heard his car before I saw him. I could tell he wasn’t happy with me when I got in the car. He didn’t look at me which is his method for controlling his anger when I am involved. He stared at the road, “Do toi mind explaining the little spectacle toi put on at school today?” I sighed, “I’m sorry daddy, he kissed me I didn’t initiate it.” He finally looked at me I cowered in my siège when I saw how fierce his eyes looked. “Give me one reason why I shouldn’t track him down right now Renesmee.” He snarled. “DAD. I a dit “You are overreacting. toi wanted me to have human experiences there toi go, I had one.” I snapped. He pulled into my grandparent’s driveway and then parked the car. I hadn’t realized that we had been driving so fast. “That is ridiculous Renesmee I didn’t intend for toi to make out with a guy in the cafeteria. Listen I don’t like how this guy is behaving with you. It is very disrespectful.” I tried to keep my tone even, “I’m sorry if toi are offended. He likes me daddy. No guy has ever liked me, he understands me I can be myself around him. I don’t have a lot of Friends please don’t ruin this for me, leave him alone.” I looked at him as fiercely as I could, then I turned from him and ran to our cottage. I stayed in my room for the rest of the night much to my Aunt Alice’s dismay apparently she had been hoping for a dress rehearsal. I didn’t care; I was so fed up with almost every aspect of my life. I fell into a dark and troubled sleep Jacob was trying to warn me about something and it didn’t make any sense all of a sudden Nahuel came into my view with that same angry look that he had on his face in the parking lot. His eyes were so fierce and red that I woke up with a scream. My parents ran into my room, “are toi ok what happened?” they wanted to know. It’s ok just a bad dream I assured them. My aunt Alice came bounding into the room “alright people we have a lot of work to do when stopped short Nessie toi look awful are toi testing my skills for tonight ou something?” I got up and looked in the mirror she was right. I had dark circles under my eyes and I was very pale. My mother looked at me in concern and placed my head in her hands, “I think toi should stay accueil today.” She said. I can’t I told her I have to go to school, plus Sienna is coming accueil with me to get ready for the party. I turned to my aunt Alice, “do toi have a dress for her? She is all alone her mom died when she was little her father is away on business and her sister is in another state.” My aunt looked at me excitedly, “of course, Oh this will be so fun” she squealed. My mother looked at me, “The poor girl” she murmured “she is Jessica’s little sister isn’t she?” I nodded. My mother’s face became dark. “Her mother died in childbirth with her” she a dit it in almost a whisper my father put his arms around her protectively. My mother was very sensitive to children such as this considering it had happened to her and luckily my father had been there to save her. “She is welcome here anytime” my mother told me; just remember to keep your distance with the details of our family.” “I know mom, I told toi she doesn’t ask.” My mother hugged me and looked at me with a sad look on her face, “I can’t believe my baby is going to be fully grown. I l’amour toi Renesmee I am so thankful for you, toi are my Angel toi know that right?” She asked. I smiled my mother had always called me that from the time I was a baby. I l’amour toi too mom. I told her “Alright enough I have got to get her looking halfway decent for school!” Aunt Alice declared I groaned, “isn’t it enough that I am yours later can’t I just wear jeans and sneakers?” “Nope, she replied with a smile. She tossed me a pair of skinny jeans, boots and a dentelle lined black tank with a matching cropped sweater. “Perfection!” she smiled.
Most of my jour was a blur my aunt Alice and Aunt Rosalie dropped me at school on her way to the caterers and all of the rest of the errands they were running. I laughed to myself as they were bickering over party details when I got out of the car. At lunch I was nervous to see Nahuel but he wasn’t there. As I sat in the cafeteria, I started to feel really weird I felt hot and my cœur, coeur started pounding. My head was spinning and I felt as though I was going to pass out, so I got up to get outside for a minute I needed air. I stumbled out of the door and sat at a picnic table, tableau and put my head down momentarily. After a bit the heady feeling I had started to leave me it was replaced par this surge of power that shot through my body I had never felt it before. I glanced at my cell phone I considered calling my parents I was shaking now. I noticed the time, it was officially my birthday. All of a sudden I had this gut wrenching compulsion to get to Jacob I needed him. I had never needed him before, not like this. I longed for his voice his face… suddenly my father was standing over me. “Nessie?” His face wrought with concern. “Daddy what’s happening to me? I asked. “I had no idea, I never would have sent toi to school today if I knew” he picked me u and carried me to the car. “I already talked to the school nurse” he a dit as e laid me across the back seat. My mother was in the front siège and she instantly got into the back with me and cradled me in her arms. “Its ok honey, toi are changing toi are immortal now.” “When will it stop I shrieked as the shaking became plus violent. “We aren’t sure my father replied we are going accueil now Grandpa Carlisle will meet us there.” He sped along the streets and all I could think of was Jacob, my eyes closed and I fell into a troubled sleep. I was running after Jacob but he kept slipping out from my reach then I was chasing a loup he jumped off a cliff, I followed and woke up screaming. I was n my lit and my parents and Grandfather were right there. “Nessie!” My mother cried.”Jacob, my Jacob what have I done?” I sobbed. My mother turned to my father and I heard her whisper, “it happened.” “What happened?” I asked “the change” my father offered a little too quickly I knew they were hiding something form me but I didn’t have the energy to fight it. “I think that we should annuler the party my grandfather a dit quietly “She is in no condition.” “No, I said. Aunt Alice has been planning every last detail, I’m ok,” I did a quick inventory. I was no longer trembling ou feeling faint. I went to get up and my father helped me, “Are toi sure?” he asked. I am fine I reassured him. “Oh no!” I a dit as I realized what time it was. “I offered to give Sienna a ride accueil with me to get ready. I have to call her!” My aunt Rosalie sailed into the room I will pick her up she offered. Thank toi I told her I called Sienna, “Hey have toi been waiting long?” “Just ten minutes ou so she replied. “Where are you? People saw toi get carried out to a car in lunch are toi ok? I have been texting toi like crazy.” “Yea I’m fine, I must have ate something bad I told her, “my d- uncle picked me up I am fine now though. “ “Good, she a dit with relief, “you had me scared.” “My aunt Rosalie is going to pick toi up she will be there soon.” “Ok,” Sienna said, “get some rest, toi will need it I have a feeling this will be one hell of a part
