-Renesmee-

Renee almost touched me, then seemed to think better of it.

"Sit down," Renee whispered again, gesturing towards the porch swing. I sat, she sat.

"But Bella... died... " Renee whispered.

Lovely. So THAT was what this woman believed.

"She died. I saw her. Dead. Almost eighteen years ago. She was a victim of hit and run," Renee said, sounding panicked, as if she were only trying to convince herself.

I decided to play along, it was convenient. For my family.

"I was born a few months before that. She didn't want आप to know," I lied easily.

"And the rest of the Cullens?" Renee whispered, sounding terrified.

I cast my eyes down, and sobbed convicingly.

"Plane crash," I choked out. "I wasn't affected, I was on my honeymoon. I just heard today. I didn't want to go the rest of my life not knowing the only family I had left. I only had Charlie before."

द्वारा now I was full blown sobbing. I had to be a good actress, lying was what I would have to do to live amongst normal humans. Renee put her arms around me. She गलाना, पिघलता of honey.

"Did आप say honeymoon?" Renee asked, and I knbew she was trying not to provoke और sobbing.

"I got married three weeks ago, so my last name technically isn't Cullen anymore. I'm Renesmee Black."

Renee froze, and asked, "Black? As in, Jacob Black?"
