Renesmee by L.Perez (good books to read .txt) 📖

hand threw her long black hair. “Who knows? It was just a bunch of nothing.” I flushed and turned to glare at them. “Could we please stop talking about what I was talking about? It’s my dream, my head, keep out,” I snapped. They all stared at me and I turned away, fixing myself toast. “Come now Luna, what did she say?” Dad asked, unashamed. I whirled and said “Really Dad?” Dad didn’t look up at me, he stared intently at Luna and Luna looked back, like they were having a private one way conversation. I growled uselessly and stomped out of the kitchen, no longer hungry. I sat on the porch angry but was curious so I listened intently to their conversation. “She mostly just mumbled about being scared of losing something. She said ‘I’m scared’ but I didn’t know what to make of it,” Luna mumbled. “Hmm, what is it that she’s afraid of?” Mom asked herself. “What else did she say Luna?” Dad asked. Luna thought for a minute then said “Not much else really, but she did make a lot of weird noises like she was crying or something…it was really confusing,” Luna said, trailing off. I stared at the gravel beneath my shoes and thought back to my dream. I couldn’t have said any of that; Luna must’ve lied. My dream had been perfect, everything I’d ever wanted. Jacob and I, alone somewhere far from everyone and we were perfectly happy. “Where would you like to go Renesmee,” Jacob had whispered and kissed my swollen belly. I stroked my belly and said “I think the baby hates the heat…maybe back to forks? It’s a lot cooler over there…and we can see Charlie and Billy a lot sooner.” Jacob nodded and said “If you want.” And then there we were, Forks. We met Charlie and Billy and they were both very excited. Even though I couldn’t see my toes, the pain in my back always got worse and my ankles swelled; I loved every moment of it. The whole time I was pregnant, I didn’t complain. Who could when this was all you wanted, and that’s as far as I got, and I felt so happy. Good thing Dad was distracted, otherwise he would’ve heard me and he would’ve been all “Love, please think of other things,” and what not. Luna and I pulled into the school parking lot and parked. “Well, I guess this is where we part,” Luna said with a sigh. I turned to her and said “You’re suspended.” Luna nodded with a grin. I sighed and rolled my eyes. “See you later,” I said and threw the keys at her. I walked toward the double doors, into the school and down the hall to my locker and grinned when I saw Blake leaning against it. “Hey,” I said as I opened my locker. Blake grinned and said “Hey.” I rummaged for a bit finding my homework and books and when I found it, stuffed into my book bag. “Mind if I walk you to class?” Blake asked. I hesitated; already? Blake grinned down at me and said “I’m just walking you to class, that’s it.” I sighed and said “Sure,” and started walking to class. When we got to class I turned to Blake and said “Thanks for the walk,” and smiled. Blake grinned back and said “My pleasure.” The minute bell rang. “Gotta get going, see you at Mason’s?” Blake asked, taking a step back toward his class. I smiled and said “Yeah, see you then,” and watched Blake walk into class. School passed by the same. Blake and I joked and had fun, classes went by smoothly, and now it was time to go home. I was turning the corner of the school building where I had parked when a figure stepped out; I froze. “Hey Renesmee,” Ashton said as he flipped his black hair from his red eyes. I stared at him. “Why are you here?” I asked throwing a glance toward the emptying parking lot, making sure no one else was approaching. Ashton leaned against the brick wall and said “Just wanted to know where my sister was.” I took a deep breath and said “Well she’s with me, now leave.” He looked up at me with those red eyes and grinned slightly. “Guess she already told you,” he said, grinning even deeper. It made me sick knowing that he could still smile after what he’d done. “Yeah she did, but she didn’t have to for me to be able to smell the blood,” I spat. He lifted something, a piece of a shirt, and inhaled deeply. He smiled as my stomach lurched; the shirt of a girl he’d killed. I stared at him and said “Leave, or you’ll regret it,” and walked past him. His arm came out and blocked my way. My nostrils flared. “Get your arm out of my way,” I hissed. Ashton kept it there and grinned at me. “You know, I’ve always liked you, so…dangerously sexy,” and leaned in closer to me. “If you want to keep that arm of yours, get it out of my fucking face,” I hissed, baring my teeth. Ashton grinned even deeper and leaned even closer so that we were now an inch apart. I could smell the blood from his breath. “I don’t know what I want more, your blood or your body,” Ashton whispered. “How about never, you fucking loser,” I said sourly. I knew I could probably smash his face into the wall hard enough that his face might crack, but I knew I wasn’t strong enough to kill him if I had too, curse my human side, and I didn’t know how I was going to keep this quiet, although there weren’t many witnesses left. He chuckled and licked his lips. “Come on, you get to choose,” Ashton said, like I was a willing participant. “Like I said jerk-off, never,” I hissed. Ashton laughed but then a speculative look came into his eyes. “Maybe both…” looked me up and down and said “Yeah, definitely both,” and leaned in so now our noses were touching. “Go ahead,” I said indifferently and looked away. I hoped Aunt Alice was seeing this. He grinned and leaned in closer and sniffed my hair. “I’ve never tasted a half breed’s blood before,” Ashton whispered brushing my hair aside. “Ashton,” a furious voice screeched. Ashton and I looked up at the same time and saw Luna six feet away, glaring furiously at Ashton. Ashton smiled and took a step back from me. “Hey Luna,” Ashton greeted lightly. “What the hell are you doing?” Luna hissed. “Just talking to Renesmee, we were just gonna leave and head back to our house,” Ashton joked. Luna darted to my side and said “Let’s go Renesmee,” and tugged on my arm. We started walking but then something pulled hard against me. I looked back, startled, and glared when I saw Ashton holding my arm. “You’re not leaving until I say so,” Ashton whispered menacingly. “Let. Go. Of. Me,” I growled. “Ashton! Leave her alone!” Luna hissed. In a blink of an eye, Ashton had kicked Luna and sent her flying into the green forest. “Luna!” I shouted and tried to run to her but suddenly I was face down on the floor. “Don’t move Princess or ill snap your arm in half,” Ashton whispered in my ear and tightened his grip on my arm. I gritted my teeth as my bone protested. So softly that I hadn’t even noticed, Ashton swept my hair from my neck. I turned my head and looked into Ashton’s eyes and saw what he was about to do. “No!” I shouted and tried to move out of the hopeless position I was in. “No, no, no!” I thought. I squirmed but didn’t move an inch, Ashton was too strong. Ashton leaned down and lightly kissed my hickey. “A love mark I see,” Ashton whispered against my neck. I shivered with disgust and shook my head. “Don’t worry, I’ll make it quick, I wouldn’t want you to be in pain,” Ashton whispered as I shuddered hearing his fangs slide out. “No,” was all I could think. If he bit me, I was dead. I wouldn’t get a chance to live. “Please, not today, not now,” I prayed with all my might as I heard Ashton move in to send me to my death. Suddenly I heard a howl and the crushing weight of Ashton disappeared. I waited for the pain, the agony to make me want to die but felt nothing, nothing at all. As things became clearer, I could hear things, several loud beating hearts, and a woodsy smell. Jacob. I could also hear hissing and smelt the sweet scent of my family. I looked up and saw the red-brown of the wolf I loved, standing in front of me, guarding me from danger. Furious snarls escaped Jacob’s mouth as the pack circled Ashton. “Jacob,” I choked out, finally finding my voice. Jacob turned then and curled on the floor right next to me and looked at me like he was so happy to see me. I looked up and saw that my family had made a wall in front of Jacob and I. Everyone and when I say everyone, I meant everyone, glared at Ashton with hateful eyes. Mom and Dad were half crouched, ready to pounce, and hissing. Ashton, in the eye of the wolves, looked startled and unprepared. Ashton eyed the wolves with disgust and hissed when the circling wolves closed the distance and came much too close for comfort. The wolves made a rumble as if they were laughing. Ashton took a daring swipe at Paul, which Paul quickly dodged and came in with his own attack. Paul darted back into place with Ashton’s hand. Ashton screamed in agony and instinctively tried to attack Paul; big mistake. Ashton was fast, but Mom and Dad were faster. Dad had Ashton on the ground while Mom got a good grip on Ashton’s arm and started to heave when Luna’s piercing scream made us all freeze. “Stop!” Luna shrieked and ran through all the wolves to stop a foot away from Mom and Dad. “Please,” Luna begged sobbing tearless sobs. Mom and Dad hesitated but then Dad nodded to Mom and they were back in place. Luna bent down and cradled Ashton like he was a baby. “It’s alright Ashton, it’s okay,” Luna whispered as Ashton whimpered and gasped for air; Dad must’ve put a lot of weight on Ashton. Luna looked up at us with sorrow filled eyes and said “I’m sorry…he just can’t control himself…” and looked down at Ashton who now looked afraid. Paul threw Ashton’s hand back and growled as if to say “You’re lucky I’m feeling nice.” Luna quickly grabbed Ashton’s hand and gave it to him. “I suggest you leave immediately, and heed this warning, lay another hand on my daughter again and I will finish the job,” Mom snarled, glaring at Ashton. Hearing mom snarl like that gave me goose bumps. Ashton quickly nodded, removed himself from Luna’s arm and ran off into the forest without so much as a thank you to his sister who just saved his life. Luna sat on the ground staring at the spot where Ashton had disappeared. She turned back to us with such a hopeless look, my heart broke. Luna tried to smile but couldn’t, the right side of her beautiful face was cracked. “Sorry Nessie,” Luna whispered, and slowly got up but fell onto the ground. “Luna!” I yelled trying to get up but I couldn’t find my legs. Grandpa Carlisle was at Luna’s side and immediately began to work on her. “Lie still, I have to close up your face,” Grandpa Carlisle said as he worked on Luna’s face. Aunt Alice was at Grandpa Carlisle’s side with his medical bag. Jacob barked
