Princess of His Heart

Chapter 1: A New Begining

Serenity's P.O.V

It had never occurred to us what mother nature is truly capable of... err well, it never occurred to my family at least. Grandpa Carlisle sort of wondered what it would have been like for a vampire to have twins after my sister Renesmee was born, but he left it at that. I guess it was a huge surprise when I came along into their lives not long after. Mom and dad were happy, but that was when they realized that not only was it a miracle, but a curse in such a way that I would cause an alarm to the Volturi. Later, grandpa came up with a theory that only made sense when he explained it in plain English, and with me being four at the time, it was still one big confusing head ache.

Some thing about an embryo containing a quarter of human DNA which carried an effect that caused my birth to be some what longer than Nessie's. Was it possible and is it still possible? Apparently so. In the beginning, grandpa Carlisle thought it might have been best if they were able to get rid of me in case I was a risk to my mother's health, but after analyzing both of our dietary patterns, he came to the conclusion that my birth wasn't going to be a repeat of my mother's pregnancy with my sister. So yeah, here we were, twelve years later, me getting ready for my first day to Forks high school. Naturally it's a big shock to a lot of people who aren't in the loop, but it's better that they don't know about vampires or the Volturi; its bad enough that I know about them.... Sorta... 

Sitting at the vanity mirror in our room, I sighed as I looked at my reflection and took out my brown contacts. I thought of taking them off soon as first bell rang, but being that it's also picture day, I'd have to wear them. A constant pain for those with an unnatural eye color such as those like myself. With grandma René's blue eyes and the vampire red ones, my eyes had some how remained a light sheen of lavender. I've always loved the way they looked, almost reminds me of lilacs in the spring, but whenever we would have to go into town when I was younger, I would have to hide them. Other than that and the light sprinkle of glitter my skin gives off in the sun, I was considered mostly normal, that I knew of anyway.

Giving my reflection a once over, I saw that my bronze hair was slightly knotted as it fell in gentle tumble of curls that framed my face and went down to my waist. After giving it a quick brush to tame the mess, I went down stairs to the kitchen hoping that there was still some of the smoothies left that I had made earlier. I also remembered the earlier company we had last night, the thought of Jake drinking the last of it, had me planning to make sure he would make more. Hmm... the 'big bad wolf' making smoothies was just a little too much, it made me laugh. Nessie walked into the kitchen and looked at me as if I were coming down with the crazies, who knows if I was.

"Are you finally ready?" she asked with impatience. "Good morning  to you too, and as for your question, I might be. Hey is there any of the strawberry smoothies left?" I replied. She looked at me and raised her eyebrow as she took in my pajama look and freshly combed hair and then shook her head. "Why do I even bother asking anymore?" she said aloud for my benefit with one last shake of her head. Even when we were younger, I'd ask for her to tell me out loud instead of her showing me, it was something that I was able to get away with I guess. As I peeked in the fridge without any luck, I then checked the freezer and found it empty of the pitcher. I narrowed my eyes and with the wet dog scent left behind, I knew it was him. "does Fido have to keep staying with us? 'Cause I'm pretty sure dad would love to have him hit the road." I muttered to her quietly.

Alarm registered in her eyes as she sent a visual and audio image of her saying "no". She then replied "besides, mom thought it would be a great idea for him to be around. I mean, since you're always up to some thing, we can never be too careful. Remember last time you were left alone?" I guess I saw her point, but still, it's not like we were still toddlers. And I was only five when I went cliff diving. What was I suppose to think after Jake commented that it's recreational fun? "hey, I am only human, and Jake said it was fun did he not?" I countered as I recalled his words. "you are not only human, half maybe, and I wasn't talking about that time even though it brings up my point." she fumed.

Mom walked in the kitchen, her eyes slightly going wide as she let out a soft groan of disappointment. " you two are going to be late! Why aren't you dressed yet Serenity?" she looked over at Renesmee for some sort of explanation. Clearly she was ready to go out the door and I was the one lagging behind. "Momma? Can dad take me? I usually am pretty early to things when dad drives." I asked her softly, my eyes going wide as I pulled out the puppy-dog eyes. Mom looked like she was debating even considering the idea. In the end, I guess to make up for time, she nods at my sister, telling Renesmee "come on Nessie, before you're late." and they both leave heading towards the garage, mom not caring that she used Jake's nickname for her.

I head back to our room, happy that Ness left, but not so happy that I don't have my smoothie. And I really was looking forward to having some too. Oh well... I open my walk-in closet and try to rummage some thing up from inside. It was so hard to choose, especially since all I really had to go based off of was the newest catalogue Aunt Rose brought from LA. Hopefully home schooling hasn't taken that much of a toll on my education, considering that this is my first real day of public school. Finally, after going through my closet for the last twenty minutes, I decided on wearing my black ruffle skirt with a black and white striped bow, black heels and pink blouse with a black camisole sweater. Dad walked in with keys in hand, asking if I was ready, and I told him I was.
