Chapter 1

Esme POV

"Esme! Annabelle is performing this weekend!" I heard dear Alice yell from the other room. Alice was probably having another one of her visions again about my great great niece Annabelle. I barely ever got to see her, and from what I heard about her, she was just like my sister Katrina.

"Sweetheart, we don't have to see her if you don't want too," my darling husband Carlisle answered.

I thought about it for a second and fought myself if I should do it or not. I finally agreed with myself on seeing Annabelle perform, "Carlisle, I think I should go see her. She's growing up so fast, and I have no one else to go see besides her."

Annabelle didn't know I've ever existed. She was adopted when she was born because my great niece died after child birth. She didn't even get to see Annabelle's beautiful face. It made me shudder to think about never seeing one's own child.

"I'll go buy tickets online now," said Alice eagerly.

"Okay sweetie, come down soon. Edward and Bella should be back from

She looked straight into my eyes and laughed as she said, " actually 19 minutes and it's about to be 18 of I don't buy the tickets now." we all chuckled again and let her go upstairs. Jasper followed her close behind.

19 minutes later Alice was done buying the tickets and Edward and Bella entered through the front door and joined us in the living room. They both looked sad and I knew why. They didn't go hunting. They went looking for her. Renesmee. They missed her so much, and they would never give up looking for her. Edward shook his head, after reading my thoughts. From the look on their sad faces, again there was no luck. Edward shook his head yes again.

We all sat on the couch silently till Bella got up and started yelling, "God damn it Edward!"

We were all shocked. She has never yelled at Edward before. Well, even if she had she never went so far to use curse words. She stormed upstairs to Edward's old room and slammed the door hard enough to almost break it. I just starred at Edward. "What happened?" I thought.

He motioned me up and said quietly, "Esme, Carlisle. I need to talk to you. In private." agreed we both got up and made our way outside following Edward. He looked really upset.

When we got deeper into the forest Edward stopped and spoke, "Bella and I found out Renesmee's old location. With the Denali Coven. With Tanya"

Before I could process what Edward just said, Carlisle spoke, "What! And we thought they were our allies!"

"I know Carlisle. While Bella and I were hunting we found one of them here. They said they snook Renesmee away when we left her alone that one time, so she could be safe with them. They said they didn't want to tell us so they could keep her precious to them." Edward spit out that last sentence like it was poison. I gasped.

"They said they kept her safe until she matured, and let her to fend on her own. Making sure she would never find us. They came to find us here because they saw Renesmee get picked up and adopted by a human family. They just wanted to tell us that she was safe and to never expect l to see her again. Bella and I were shocked. We attacked the one who came to tell us and killed him out of anger. Bella's very upset, and so am I. She told me to tell you what happened, but I said we would wait to tell you. She didn't want that, and that's why she's mad." Edward looked as if he would be balling if he could.

"I'm so sorry son." Carlisle looked as pained as I was. I walked over to Edward and hugged him, holding him close.

We walked back to the house and told the rest of the family. They were upset just the same. Bella finally came down after she realized Edward told us what happened. I think she was very relieved. We sat there in silence just taking in how much we all missed Renesmee. We wondered what her life was like now. If she even had a life? What would her human family do when they realized she'll never look older than 18? We were all so worried.

Alice was the first to break the silence and make us all feel better, " I know we all miss Renesmee a lot, but we must all agree to let her go for now. We have a show to go to this weekend!" after Alice told us that we all sighed and let go of it for now. I was excited to see Annabelle, and I was just plain happy Renesmee was safe for now. For now.

Jacob's POV

Life is hard without her. Without my imprint. Edward and Bella called and told me what happened this afternoon with the man from the Denali clan. After hearing the conversation I hung up and threw my phone against the wall, smashing it into a thousand pieces, and making a dent in the wall. I was never going to see her again. My heart broke and sank down in my chest. Even if Edward and Bella have given up, I haven't! I will never give up finding her. She was my soul.

My anger was washed out when I heard a knock at my door. I heard a soft voice from behind it and I immediately knew who it was. Rebecca. My favorite sister. "Come in!" I yelled.

She came in. Her hair was tied back and she was wearing a beautiful dress. It was a little revealing. I scowled at her. She looked at my sad face and stared at me until she's spoke, "You don't like it huh? I'm going out with Rick he's waiting outside. I just wanted to ask you if you could do a big favor for me?" oh, that's why she came up here. To ask me to do a favor me. I should have known. Rick was my sister's husband. She loved him so much, and I didn't know why because he was a kiss ass type of man. He reminded me so much of the Cullen's, and that just made me miss Renesmee more. Rebecca had one child and she was 16. Her name was Savanna. She was so gorgeous and loved to dance. She was really good at it too. A couple years ago they sent her to a professional dance boarding school in Seattle. She loved it so much there, and barely ever visited here. It made us all a little pissed.

Rebecca made eye contact with me again and spoke sincere from her heart, "Rick and I were supposed to go to Hawaii on Saturday, as you know, and I was wondering if you could go see Savanna's dance recital. I told her we couldn't make it and it made her so upset, then I said maybe uncle Jake could come. Could you please go for us? I bought you a ticket! Please, please, please?" she begged, I finally gave in.

"Okay fine. But you're paying for gas. I am totally broke."

She got up and embraced me in a large hug, "Thank you! Thank You!

Thank You! I will totally make it up to you." she hugged me once more and left, as Rick honked his horn from outside. Great. At Least this might take my mind off of Renesmee. But deep in my heart I knew nothing could.

Edward's POV

Alice was as chipper as ever. And that's saying something. We all noticed it. But not even Jasper could get it out of her. I searched her mind for endless hours and all I heard was, "wait, wait, wait. I'll tell you if you wait." It was so confusing, and I was starting to lose my mind.

Bella was very upset. And it hurt me to see her like this. I wanted the pain to go away from her heart, but it didn't I away from mine either, so it was a pointless effort.

Tonight was Annabelle's concert. We were all excited and made a huge deal about it

Emmett and Rosalie were making out on the couch when I walked in. Eww! It was still gross every time I saw it! Kissing Rosalie would be like kissing a dead bug. Bleh! I quickly walked passed them to go to the kitchen. Bella was waiting with Esme at the counter. She turned around as she heard me come in. Beautiful. She looked absolutely breath-taking. Her hair was curled in perfect curls that landed softly on her back effortless. She was wearing a red strapless dress that came up right before her knees. I gasped and she smiled.

"Oh! So you like it?" she flirted with me before bursting out with laughter. I laughed just as hard as her.

Esme touched us both on the shoulders as she spoke, "Time to go you two love birds. I don't want to be late to my only living relatives dance recital!" we both chuckled again. Esme gave me a sarcastic 'thanks a lot' look, then walked away to get into the car.

"Those two are impossible!" Esme thought and I laughed again. Bella gave me a look like I was crazy. It just made me chuckle more.

She looked a little annoyed as she grabbed my arm and pulled me along, "Come on Edward, Esme's right. Let's go before we upset her more."

When we got to the garage I stopped Bella and turned her around so I could stare deeply into her eyes. I loved her so much. She tried to pull away, but before she could I kissed her passionately. She moaned a bit before pulling away and smiled at me to get into the car. Tonight was going to be good. I could just feel it.

Jacob's POV

I sped down the road at almost 70 mph. I couldn't be late tonight! It was such an important night for Savanna, and she expected me to be there on time in the front row center! I just couldn't be late. I finally reached Ella's school of dance and performing arts, so I drove around trying to find a parking space. Shit this school was big! It was seven times bigger than my old high school. Well, my old high school felt smaller than my house.

Finally I found a spot, but it was really far away from the building. I ran extremely fast to get to the front door. I reached it and bolted inside giving the usher my tickets and ran inside and found my spot in the front row right as the show began. Then I smelled it. That horrible, yet familiar smell. Vampires. I looked to my left and saw Carlisle. He smiled at me then looked back at the stage. They Cullen's were all her and one by one they turned to their right and game me a smug look. I was really uncomfortable. Then the light went down and music started playing.
