Eternal : A Renesmee and Jacob Novel

Chapter 1 : Rain

Do you know what rain smells like? I like the sound of it, the soft patter of water hitting the earth. Rain falling gently from the sky. People say that when it rains, it means that the Angels are crying. I dont believe that. I believe that when it rains, it means that the Angels high above in the sky are happy. Ever heard of the tears of joy? Rain refreshes the earth. It smells good too. But the thing that I like most about rain, is that it gives us a new beginning. It wipes away the tears of yesterday and hives a new reason to smile. You see, people have that saying, "Stop and smell the roses" Roses smell gross. You should stop and smell the rain.

But right now, in this moment, I've smelt the rain, and it smells good. Like home. Home. I think about the word for a moment. What a silly word. Home. You see, we give words so much meaning. For instance, Love. Love is an emotion it is a song, a feeling. Love is so many things. The same can be said about home. Home is where the heart is.

The word home makes me think of myself. I, Rensemee Cullen - Black. My three beautiful children, Laylon, Layton and Jeremiah. And of course my husband an soul mate, Jacob Black. I was born while my mother was still human, and my father was a vampire. Making me half mortal and half immortal. We don't what this means. It could mean that I could live forever, or I could die when I'm 90. I dont know. But what I do know is that I have special abilities. I feel it in me. When I run, my veins feel cold, when I smell rain, I feel this spark in me. Its different than the spark that I feel with Jacob, and it is stronger.

I've asked my mother why I feel like this. My mind a million thoughts when I'm around people, and my veins going cold, the spark when it rains. My mother tells me not to worry about it, but its hard not to. I remember reading in one of grandpa Carlise's books thatvanpires can pretty much have only one ability. For instance, Aunt Alice can see lartsof the future, Mom can give you a defensive shield, and dad can read minds. As for me, well I can show you my thoughts, though I've now realized that I can also feel peoples thoughts. I can't much read them, I just know what they feel and what they are thinking. Its wired, trust me.

All my life, I've wanted to know why I was destined to have a werewolf as a soul mate, all my life I have wondered why I have different feelings. Why I feel peoples emotions and thoughts, why is it that I can feel the elements inside of me? Why? These are the questions I have for someone who knows. And I am determined to find them, no matter what the cost.
