Il Mio Amore

Chapter 3

"Why are you here?" the child's mother asked.

"I had quite the sheltered upbringing, I was not shown who the men of the Volturi really were until I was turned and I was disgusted. I rebelled and left after a short time of learning about what I was and what I could do as a vampire. I do not agree with what they do or who they pretend to be. It is not who I am or want to be. Now, will you allow your daughter to show me?" I asked.

"Renesmee." Bella said.

"I'm okay, mommy." the little girl said, walking over to me.

I quickly sat on the ground and the little girl got comfortable in my lap. She pressed her hand softly to my cheek and the images were shocking. The child wouldn't stop until she showed me everything and I allowed this because I was very curious. When she let go, she looked up at me with a curious look.

"You are, una bambina molto speciale, a very special little girl." I whispered, tapping her on the tip of her nose.

"You talk funny. There are a lot of people here who talk funny." she said.

"Renesmee!" her mother scolded.

"It is okay. I do, it is because I come from somewhere different. This is how it sounds when I speak English." I told her as everyone calmed around us.

"What was that language?" she asked me.

"Do you have a nickname, Renesmee?" I asked her.

"Jacob calls me Nessie."

"Nessie seems a bit strange, but okay. I speak Italian."

"Like the ice cream? Auntie Alice says gelato is the best kind of ice cream in the world."

"Yes, like the ice cream. Come, your parents are worried." I told her, getting up with her in my arms.

"Do you believe now?" Bella asked me.

"As soon as she showed me the first image, I believed. I will stay and bear witness to my father's of your special story. You have a very unique and special famiglia." I told Edward.

"I do and thank you, for standing with us." he replied.

"It is the correct thing to do, what my fathers want to do to you because of this child is horrendous. I cannot stand for it." I said.

"What about Alice?" Esme suddenly asked her family.

"Nothing." Bella replied.

"Jasper?" Carlisle asked.

"He's out, feeding." Edward said.

"Renesmee, come on." Bella said to her daughter, who had not let go of me.

"It is okay, she does not bother me." I told her.

"Have you been to a lot of places?" the child asked me.

"I have, I've traveled to many places." I replied.

"Can you show me?"

"Renesmee!" her mother scolded again.

"Of course, let me say hello to a few people first."

"Okay."

After greeting the few people that I knew, Renesmee and I sat down on the sofa. Both of us communicate by touch so it was an interesting, silent conversation. I could hear the thoughts of the people around us and they were just watching us. Curious about what was going on in our minds. The only other person who knew was Edward and he was amused by the childlike conversation going on between his daughter and I.
