Renesmee: The Girl You Remember.

Chapter: 4 Fork in the Road

Fork in the Road

The clouds that I had left years ago, where the same as I'd left them, a dark smokey gray with the guarantee of rain.

Rain drops glittered off the windshield of my Vehicle that smoothly drove me through the wet streets a few minutes just near Forks Washington. It took me ten hours to drive to Forks from the deep forest of Redding, California. Nahuel had opted for an airplane ticket, but I insisted we drove. I needed the hours to dwell and dread my trip. If I was being honest with myself, I was dreading that sign ever since I'd started. It wasn't that I didn't want to see Charlie, but because I didn't want to put up with my family. There were going to be ways I could avoid them, but it was unavoidable to at least run into any of them.

Despite how much I despised my family, we both had one thing in common. Charlie. He was the only thing besides Nahuel that was worth anything. (I made it my mission to never let Nahuel know that, though).

But that also meant, that I wouldn't be the only one that wanted to see him. Especially my Mother. Who I was wanting to avoid the most. Edward and the rest I wasn't worried about at all. Edward knew I would either come or not, either way he would make sure he and I wouldn't meet eye to eye. Which I hoped Bella followed. I didn't see any of them, including Bella, as my Family.

I rolled my eyes absentmindedly. I really wasn't looking forward to putting up with "Come home" "Things will be different" and "we all love you" speeches from her. Being kept in a house with people that hated me, because of Bella's selfish fear of living without Edward, was just as much torture as twenty three years ago, when I was relentlessly experimented on for the first seven years of my runaway life.

I really was dreading the irritating and unavoidable encounters, That didn't mean I wouldn't try to avoid them. I would try my best to make sure I wouldn't even be seen if possible. I looked beside me in the passenger seat and smiled slightly then turned my attention back to the wet road ahead of me.

I was angry about before, but honestly I was thankful Nahuel had tagged along. I wasn't dreading this alone. Nahuel hated long trips. We rarely even took them to repay a visit to his sister Jennifer. He could sense me looking. I decided to be the first to speak.

"Thanks... for um. Looking out for me. I know that's why you came." I awkwardly said, a little embarrassed.

"That's what I'm here for. Personal Body Guard." Nahuel said, Almost amused.

Though, I could feel a question burning at the tip of his tongue.

"What is it?" I pressed.

"You never fully explained to me, why it was you left this place," Nahuel asked, motioning towards the non-welcoming sign of Forks Washington that passed by the window.

"My family. They hated me. My mother was human when she was pregnant with me. She practically died while pregnant, and did die when she gave birth to me. She became a vampire, yes, but... That wasn't something my father wanted." I explained. I looked down at my knees as we pulled to a stop at a stop light in the middle of Forks.
