Chapter 22: Firewood, Anybody??
I was so angry that I was even starting to scare myself. I couldn’t believe that my mother had blamed me for this whole insane scenario. All I was trying to do was to defend my friend; if I was a normal kid I bet it wouldn’t have been this big of a deal. Sometimes being a Cullen is a curse. I was still shaking violently when my father walked up, “Renesmee, please try to calm down I want to talk to you.” I turned my fury upon him, “Leave me alone, I can’t deal with any of his anymore, all I have wanted is to just be normal and here I am an even bigger freak now.” My father cringed, “Nessie you are not a freak, you are special.” I glowered at him, “Special? You call this special? Dad I'm dangerous, no one knows what’s wrong with me and then mom is going to gang up on me like I wanted this?!” I could feel the anger coursing through my veins it was almost addictive, I could feel the power rush again. My father looked at me oddly almost as though he feared me. “Renesmee calm down he instructed. Then I snapped I kicked a puno in my fit of rage and I heard the trunk give way, it started to fall over right where my father was standing. I ran with lightening speed as it started to fall over and pushed him out of the way, I looked up as it fell down on me…
Renesmee?! My father shouted. I focused on the puno and put my arms up. It landed very gently in my fingertips; I slowly walked with it and placed it down in a clearing. My father’s eyes all but bulged out of his head, “What?!” he stammered. I looked at him with a small smile, “Um, power number 2? Having insane strength when necessary?” He just looked at me and shook his head, “You could have been killed,” I smiled again, “Actually the odds were really on my side dad; immortality, remember?” He looked at me in a daze and hugged me. Just then my Grandfather, Uncle Jasper, Uncle Emmett and Jake and Seth came into view, “What happened,” Jake demanded. My father looked at everyone in amusement, “It seems that my daughter might be taking up logging as a hobby.” Jake looked confused, “But we heard a crash and someone yelled.” My father explained to everyone what had happened. My grandfather looked at me in awe, “Renesmee it seems that your new power is super strength when you get an adrenaline rush.” He looked at the puno that I had basically played catch with, and shook his head. “You are as strong as a newborn, fascinating!” He chuckled to himself. Jake hugged me, “Are you alright?” He asked I smiled at him, never been better.” He smirked at my father, “So Edward, I guess you are going to have a hard time disciplining your daughter now that she is stronger than you huh?” My father looked at him with a twisted smile and patted his back, “Aw yes but let’s not forget who is planning to marry her Jake. Good luck with that,” he patted him on the back again and then walked away laughing. Jake looked at me with a leery look on his face. “Well if I win all the arguments then you have nothing to worry about honey,” I assured him. He smiled at me and rolled his eyes. “I’m sure I could handle it.” My Uncle Emmett laughed at that one too and we all headed back to the house. Aside from the fact that I had almost dropkicked a puno onto my father’s head, it was shaping up to be a decent araw I had stood up to one of the biggest idiots at school, I finally knew what was going on with my body, and we had dress shopping to do. Oh, no… shopping…. Not even super human strength could save me form that fate…
