Over the past few days, Nessie and I have grown a lot. Nessie looks ten, but I still look five. My growth has slowed down to a normal rate, but Renesmee keeps growing every day. The family curses me for it. They say, "why our little Nessie? Why not the other one?!". Alice stands up for me, but now that she and Jasper ran, I am hated. Daddy is too busy with mom to realize. Oh I forgot! Nessie, being the air head she is, got caught by Irina playing outside. The whole family is freaked out, and haven't talked to me in days. When they do, it is nothing but scolding me for being born, and wishing I was more like Nessie. So I sit in my room, playing the piano, and practicing my ballet moves. That's when Mom walked in. "Alexa, you look so thin! Haven't you been eating?" She asks. "Why do you care? You haven't even noticed me since the day you saw Nessie." I say glaring at myself. "That's not true! We have just been really busy! Our guests are arriving today!" She says. I look up at her, and nod. She takes my hand, and leads me out the door, where I tank my hand out, and walk downstairs by myself. Mom stands stunned at the top of the stairs. I walk through the kitchen and see our Denali cousins. They are playing with Nessie. Like everyone, they don't even know I exist. I sit down at the far end of the table, and they look up. "Who is this?" A blonde girl, Tanya, asks. "This, is Alexa. Renesmee's twin sister." Mom says, looking at me sorrily. "She looks so young!" They all say astonished. I smile, "I stopped growing irregularly a few days ago. I look five, and will until I turn five years old." They smile at me, and Tanya comes over. She bends down and whispers in my ear, "I know you don't hear this much, but your my favorite." I smile and reach my arms up for her to hold me. Her smile wides, and she picks up my bony body. She gasps and says, "do you eat?!" I look down at my skinny body. "Not in the past few days." She gasps and runs the the fridge. She sets me I the barstool and makes me cereal. "Will you eat this?" I shake my head and push it away. "I don't eat, because there is no point. My family hates me, and it doesn't do any bad for my ballet training." She shakes her head and says, "Alexa, I am going to make you a blood/protein shake. I want you to eat it, because I don't want my darling cousin to get sick." Mom comes over and basically try's to force feed me. "Mom, you can't just come in and pretend that you don't hate me for not being the one in trouble. I know you only like Nessie, but I don't want your sympathy. And Tanya, I really appreciate all the love, but that's not how I roll. I sit in my room, don't talk to anyone, and don't eat. Eventually I will die, and all of you can have your precious life with Renesmee to yourself." They gasp and before they could say anything I run, as far as I can, ignoring everyone chasing me, until I lose them, and rest against a tree. Tomorrow, I would run again, until I find where I belong.
