Fangs and Feathers Chapter 4: First Meeting

Renesmee's POV :

Through the rest of the school day I noticed Astrid wasn't there. I looked for her in the halls but it was like she disappeared. I shrugged it off, thinking she went home. At the end of the day a few friends and wen to Wendy's, and speak of the devil there she was. With her mom and dad in line as a man began yelling at a woman.

Everyone stared at the man with fearful eyes, then to Astrid's dad , who had pressed his pressure point to the point of passing out onto the floor. Astrid and her family sat in one of the far corners of the restaurant, and left. I watched them through the window, going into the woods and disappearing.

The next day I stayed home, watching TV in my room as I did my homework. The sound of a motorcycle outside made me look out my window. Jake. I thought as I ran down the stairs. I opened the door excitedly as I felt the cold chill from outside seem indoors.

"Hey Jake." I greeted happily as I closed the door and my family flooded the room. " What are you doing here?' Rosalie asked with an angry expression. "I caught the scents of someone, or something that wasn't invited." He answered with an upsetting tone. Then I was worried, who, or what, was it? I had no answer, everyone looked concerned. "Where?" Dad asked as the walked out the back door to the woods, everyone else, myself included, following. Just the a large shadow flew above us, my eyes shot up, frantically searching for whatever it was.

Was I the only one who saw that? I thought as I continued on the path. The there was another, and everyone saw it. Emmet immediately darted after it, Dad, Jake ,and Alice doing the same split seconds after. I looked at Mom and shrugged, and ran to the others. I saw two large shadows in the trees that seemed to be staring back at us. "Renesmee stay back." Dad said sternly as he looked at me, then back to the two shadows. I cautiously peered closer, my eyes went to the size of dinner plates. They where two people, with wings, and one of them was Astrid.

Astrid POV

The wind whipped my hair back as I darted through the air. I was with Dad , shooting past every colossal tree in the forest. The storm from last night was over and the sun gave small rays of light through the clouds. Like rays of heaven shining through the darkness. The wind howling in my ears nearly drowned out the sound of a few people below, nearly. I looked over to Dad, who seemed to have heard them before me, and signaled for us to land. We landed in a large tree, to high up for a human to see us clearly. A blur came to a stop just below us, a few more following after, and soon there was a whole group of people below us.

I looked at Dad, giving a look that said : Should we leave? He very subtly nodded his head, just as we were about to take off a familiar voice came from below. "Astrid?" I looked down, only to see Renesmee and a group of other people. Dad gave me a questioning look , then we stared everyone down, looking for any possible weaknesses.

"We're not here to fight, we just want some answers." A man with bleach blond hair and pale skin said. Dad and I gave him a challenging look, I honestly don't care if the first nice person was probably a member of their family, I had just met her yesterday. I have no idea what she's really like.

The man put his hands up as a woman with brunette hair and dark chocolate eyes looked up at us as she put an arm out to keep Renesmee back. "Who the hell are you?" Dad asked in a steel tone as he got closer to me, pushing me behind him. "We're the Cullens family." He answered calmly as he studied Dad. Renesme looked up at me with hopeful eyes, I put on a expression that gave nothing away. I straightened my shoulders, sizing a few of them up as they noticed.

"This one's a fighter." One said, a guy with dark hair and incredibly broad shoulders with a smug grin on his face. I glared at him as Dad's wings slightly twitched under his shirt. I knew exactly what that meant, I heard a few white coats talking about it when I was in the School. Human-avian parents have an instinct to kill anything that so much as seems as if it's going to put any harm to their offspring. There's much more to it, but just like my past, it's for later.

I was standing right behind Dad, who had his arm holding me close to him. "Look, why don't you come down and we can talk about this." The man from before said in the most soothing voice possible, I mean other than Dad's when he helps me calm down. Dad an I jumped down after a few second of contemplating it.

"What do you want?" Dad asked in a menacing tone. And so the explanation between two families begins.
