The daughter

Preface
I knew that I couldn’t protect us both. That one of us was going to die. If I watched my back then she would, but if I watched hers then I would. It was a never ending circle of death. I knew what I was going to do, I would protect her. But could protecting her, ultimately be destroying her?

Watching her
I now had a 7 year old child. She was growing up to fast for a human child so she would be eight in a few months. She still smelled human though, and she would until her 16th birthday, when Carlisle would change her into a full vampire. Her scent tempted me more than once and each time I fought off the idea. When it became too much one of the others would come and watch her for a while, but it would normally be Rosalie. Sometimes she would sit next to me and we would watch her. Rosalie helped me choose her name to. We took my mothers name Renee and my adopted mothers name esme and came up with Renesmee. Her middle name is from Charlie and Carlisle, Carlie and she took the surname Cullen. She has chocolate brown eyes with Edwards bronze hair and she is as pale as me.

She has two special abilities, both opposites to Edward and mine. I can create a shield in my mind that people can’t get through except her, she can break shields. Edward can read peoples minds while renesmee can make people read her mind by touch. She is learning to control her thirst but is a magnet for trouble, much like I was.

In just three normal years later, renesmee was 13 ans was starting to truly look like a vampire. She got along great with jasper, and she probably would have gotten on with Jacob as well. I wish that she could have seen him. Or that she could go and meet Charlie, not just watch him from the forest.

Carlisle had told me yesterday that Charlie had received news that I was dead. That I was seen being killed but police couldn’t find the body. I suppose it’s true. The human side of me is dead, but they could find the body, if I wanted them to. But I didn’t. it was better, safer for Charlie to think that I was dead. This morning Carlisle decided that it was time for us to move. Esme chose the place, somewhere in Canada. I would go to school with the others and so would renesmee. To everyone else she was not my daughter but my adopted sister, it was easier to explain.

It was our first day at the new school and things had been going okay. Me Edward, Rosalie, emmett, renesmee, jasper and alice were all sitting at a lunch table. We each had a plate of untouched food in front of us except renesmee, who didn’t mind the taste of human food. Then we smelt it. Other vampires were walking into the cafeteria. Not ‘vegetarians’ like us. They came over.
There were 8 of them.
“can we help you?” Edward asked
“I think you can. We need the girl,” the tallest one said. I looked into their eyes and they were bright red. I knew that they were going to turn her into a full vampire and put her in a newborn army. Jasper knew to because his face was full of worry.
“may I suggest that we take this outside?” Edward said, keeping calm. We all walked outside and I kept renesmee between me and Rosalie. From out of the bushes 15 more vampires appeared. “now were out of view can we discuss this civilly?” Edward suggested

One of the vampires went to hit him and Edward pushed the arm away with his hand. “or not.” then it turned into a fight.
“run bella!” Edward shouted. I took renesmee’s hand and we ran. We ran right into there trap. Several vampires closed in on us. There was no way I could fight them all. Not alone. Either me or renesmee were going to die and I wouldn’t let it be her. Everyone got to us in time.

“Rosalie, take her please. Somewhere they’ll never find her. I will call when its safe to come back.” I said, and then I turned to renesmee. “, I love you, I will always love you. But this is the only way to keep you safe. Now go with aunt Rosalie and uncle emmett. Ill see you again. I love you,” I whispered, kissing her lightly on the forehead. Then she was gone.

When the fight was over we went back home. Something wasn’t right with alices vision. Why didn’t she see the attack?
“I did see it.” alice said. “but if you had run before they got here then they would of found you and taken renesmee away. Now she is safe.” she explained
It was a year and a half before I saw renesmee again. She had grown up so much, she was 16 now. A week after she got back we all decided that it was time Carlisle changed her.

He took her into her room and I came to. She lied down on the bed and he bit her on the neck. She screamed and thrashed about on the bed. Then Carlisle lifted his head up and left it there for a few seconds, then he turned to me.
“you can come over now,” he said
She fell asleep after a while
“how can you do that? I taste human blood and I go wild. If I had bitten her then I wouldn’t of been able to stop. isn’t it hard for you?”
“ yes it is still hard for me. Im not trained to stop. Every time I taste human blood I feel that im not going to be able to stop but I make myself. I think what if I actually killed her? that’s what stops me.” Carlisle explained, stroking renesmee’s cheek.


Three days seemed to take forever. every time Renesmee cried out in pain Carlisle would apologise, saying that it would be over soon and eventually it was. On the morning of the third day, renesmee got up, just like I did and walked into the kitchen. She looked different. More grown up, but with the same child like features. Her gifts had been enhanced so that she didn’t even have to look at me to break my shield. The next six months were happy. No more fights or deaths. But I knew I couldn’t last. Something would go wrong.
