home alone, well sort of [OPEN]

[KALEB CULLEN]

Kaleb darted into the house before she could finish her last sentence. Faster he got in and out the faster the evidence of being a total mess could be destroyed or hidden and Alice would be no wiser. Or so he hoped. Racing into his room he grabbed his things and raced to the bathroom. Showering in record time, not that he was counting.

Leaving his hair to dry on its own and not bothering to comb it he walked out wearing a blue button down top with a black t-shirt underneath, jeans and solid black van sneakers. Rolling his sleeves up to his elbows out of habit he grabbed the offending evidence known as dirty clothes and darted into the garage and tossed them in the very bottom of the trash before shifting the garbage back over them. Washing his hands he finally plopped down on the steps by Renesmee.

"Maybe she won't find them."

He said just as he adjusted the leather band that was on his wrist supporting the Cullen Crest. His hair was nearly dry from the darting around he did to dispose of the filthy clothes. He figured if he burnt the clothes the smell would still linger so it was safer to hide them in the bottom of the garbage. If there had been blood on them he would have burned them or just buried them in Esme's garden of course if he did the second one Esme would surely have his head.

Dragging his fingers through his hair to somewhat tame it he leaned against the pillar of the porch and laid he head aback against it as if relaxing. He was surprised no one was home yet.

[RENESMEE CULLEN]

She was surprised when he was suddenly gone while she was talking. Though it did make her laugh a little. She smelled the air just in case he’d caught a sent that she hadn’t but there was nothing there. At first she thought he’d caught Alice or someone else coming back to the house and decided he needed to get rid of his clothes before she returned but there was no one else around. Shrugging she leaned back against the steps and crossed her legs at the ankle. As she sat there it started to lightly rain but that didn’t block the sound of Kaleb rushing around in the house. Sitting up she leaned forward so her hand was out from under the porch roof and in the rain. The rain was always beautiful though sometimes she got really annoyed with it. Standing up she stood in the rain and looked around. There was one bad thing about the rain. It made it hard to smell someone coming.

After a moment she walked back to the steps and sat down. Almost as soon as she did Kaleb was next to her again. She jumped a little before laughing. Maybe if she’d been paying a little more attention to what was going on around her she’d know he was coming back to where she was. When she mentioned him not finding the clothes she shrugged a little. It was true she might not find them where ever he hid them. Though Alice usually noticed things that no one thought they would. It seemed that both Kaleb and Nessie were hoping that Alice wouldn’t find their messed up clothes just for different reasons. Where’s she didn’t want to have to explain how she’d ripped a piece of her dress off and then hidden it, he didn’t want to go on the shopping trip to replace the clothes he’d tossed.

You never know. She’s a sneaky one. That and she can see the things you do.

[/b] She nudged his shoulder with hers in a teasing way. It was true that she could see things about Kaleb and the rest of the family but she doubted she’d see something like this. Nessie just got lucky and no one could see things about her. But it was a danger sometimes. If no one could see what was going to happen then no one would know if she was going to be in danger or not. Looking at the ban around his wrist she smiled a little. It was nice to see him wearing the crest.

Reaching over she poked at it. Showing off Cullen pride?[/b] She smiled and moved her damp hair over one shoulder.

Kaleb looked at her and smirked as she statled slight Chuckling he got comfortable well out of the drizzing rain. Not feeling like getting wet,

"Sorry didn't mean to scare ya."

He said as he watched her. Cocking an eyebrow he looked at the crest then at her. He wouldn't exactly call it Cullen Pride. He either wore his watch or the crest. It felt odd if he wore both,

"Oh yes my Cullen Pride. Hear me roar. I either wear my watch or the crest. It feels odd when I wear both. Where's your Cullen Pride. Renesmee?"

He asked pointingly,

"I don't see your Cullen Pride anywhere."

He joked as he nudged her back with his own shoulder. Before going back on the clothing line of thinking. If Alice found those clothes as much decision making changing he did covering his tracks then that pixie was more trouble than she was worth. He was going to have to talk to Carlisle about finding the crazed short pixie a shrink. That or cement her credit cards in concrete and toss them in the middle of a ocean or lake where she couldn't get to them vampire or not.

He understood that when you lived forever you had to find a hobby but honestly shopping was not a hobby in her case it was an addiction. Worse than a drug or alcohol one.

[RENESMEE CULLEN]

Oh yes you terrified me.

[/b] She joked. Really she couldn’t believe she’d jumped when he’d come back. It wasn’t like someone else would sneak up behind her when her back was to the house. It just wasn’t possible. Well it was possible it just was unlikely. She would have noticed if someone else had come from the other side of the house and to where she was. But he’d come through the door directly behind her. So he had the element of surprise. Though she’d rather him tease her than anyone else in the family. Mostly because they wouldn’t tease some would just sit her down and say how irresponsible it was to not pay attention to who was around her. Really she might only have been alive fifteen years but she was mentally much older than that. They just seemed to forget it sometimes.

As he continued talking she leaned over and put her head on the side of his shoulder. Yes she was still listening but it was a little more conferrable that way. But another thing that if someone came around and saw could be a little hard to explain. Though thinking about it again, it wouldn’t be hard. Everyone knew that she already had her one and only and at times she could be very affectionate to everyone around her. That was all this was. Plus this way she wouldn’t have to keep looking from him to the rain. She could just look at the rain and not feel bad about the lack of eye contact. Some people really liked to be looking at someone but from time to time it was a little awkward.

Don’t worry I can’t play with your head when I’m like this.[/b] She assured him in a joking matter. Though it was true she wanted to make light of saying it to him. After all he was nervous about things like that.

At the mention of her Cullen pride she shrugged. Yes she had pride in her family but she expected that after all this time, she wouldn’t be a Cullen anymore. Sure fifteen years wasn’t that long but to someone that aged so quickly it was. But she didn’t feel like loading her issues with her relationship to him. Or anyone for that matter. It was between her and no one else. Not even Jake. I don’t wear my Cullen pride. I love everyone, but sometimes it’s nice to just be Renesmee and not Renesmee Cullen[/b] She laughed a little. Though with a name like mine people only think of the Cullen’s when they hear it.[/b]

Kaleb looked at her and chuckled. Wasn't to terrifying after all even with him darting around the house preoccupied he would have known if some else that wasn't family or one of the wolves had come in the area. She probably would have too.

He stiffened slightly at the contact but quickly relaxed. He trusted her not to barge into his head but then again around people with powers to see whats going on in your head being guarded came as an instinct to him. With Edward it was the constant keeping up a brick wall and covering thoughts with music lyrics or movie quotes or scenes. With Renesmee all it took was a single touch that could come in a split second and whatever you were thinking could be knowledge.

"Good to know."

He said to her comment before thinking on what she said, It was true it was nice to be just you for once and not be known by your first and last name. And she was right with a name like hers it was hard not to jump to her last name. How her father had ever let her mother name her that he didn't know of course when it came to Bella he was pretty sure Edward commit murder if she asked him too.

He'd probably get along a whole lot better with Edward if the damn mind reader wasn't always trying to get inside his head or glancing at him expecting him to snap. Sure he understood that there was that risk he was still new to the vampire life and there was that risk he could fly off the handle but honestly he'd not attacked anyone human at least. He had attacked Jacob that one time on pure instinct when they first met and he hadn't known the Cullen's and shape shifters were allies.

But he knew good and well Edward tried to get in his mind and watched him every time he moved cause he expected him to attack Renesmee. Which wouldn't happen. Now he wasn't sure on it never happening. never saying never is what caused things to happen but he was pretty sure he'd never attack the hybrid. They seemed to have an understanding with each other.

Coming from his thoughts he spoke,

"Yeah. I totally get what you mean. Do you have any idea what even made your mother name you Renesmee?"

Sure he understood where the two halves came from but honestly it was one hell of a mouthful but he wasn't gonna start calling her after the Loch Ness Monster like everyone else had thanks to her imprint for suggesting it. The guy in wolf form was a seriously over sized Pomeranian in his mind.

The rain drizzle was starting to get heavier beating down on the leaves of the foliage of all the plant life and beating into the ground with a pitter patter that would most likely become a pelting like beats that were heavier.

[RENESMEE CULLEN]

Feeling him stiffen, even though it was only for a moment, made her frown a little, she should have been expecting that to happen. After all he might have thought she was trying to peak into his mind, but she wasn’t going to do that to him. She really didn’t like doing that unless she absolutely had to. Most of the time she didn’t sneak into people’s heads unless she thought they were hiding something from her. Though she knew that he was hiding things from everyone in the family she wasn’t going to look into his mind. It wasn’t like he was keeping anything really bad from all of them. He wasn’t a bad guy so it wasn’t like he was some secret killer or anything like that. They would have realized if he was a killer or something along those lines. You can’t really hide a think like that if you’re a vampire. He wouldn’t have killed a human and the Cullen’s would be able to tell that. You can’t hide red eyes no matter what you do. Plus he hadn’t hurt her when he had every chance to.

Yep, I thought so.

[/b] She sighed and looked out at the yard as it started to rain harder. It was nice that the two of them were out of the rain though with her legs stretched in front of her she could feel the rain hitting her feet instead of the rest of her. It was a little cold but she didn’t bother moving her feet she liked the rain and was a little too lazy to shift position. Sometimes she just liked staying how she was instead of moving even if it started raining. She enjoyed the rain and even If she was laying in the meadow in the rain she wouldn’t move if she was in one of those moods. But they were pretty rare. This just happened to be one of the times she didn’t want to move.

Sighing she tried to think about why her mother chose to name her what she did. Maybe it was because she was so convinced she was having a boy that she didn’t even consider girls names. Bella was going to name her Edward Jacob after the two men in her life. It was a little upsetting to her when she first realized that her mother wanted a boy and got her instead. She’d actually gone as far as to take off and refuse to come back to the house. Jasper and Rosalie had to come find her. Rosalie had been hoping to calm Renesmee down on her own but when that didn’t work Jasper was there to do it himself. She was supposed to be an E.J. not a Nessie. Because I wasn’t a boy like she was hoping.[/b] She shrugged a little before turning her head so she could look at him a litter better.

I guess I got used to it after Jasper calmed me down. But she hadn’t thought about girl names so she put together the most important people’s names. Just like if I had been a boy.[/b] Though she did like the name Nessie more than E.J. but she had Jake to thank for that. He was the one that came up with her nick name that her mother hated so much. But Bella had started calling her that and just using her full name when she was in trouble. Other then Kaleb no one used her full name unless they were telling her off. How did your parents come up with your name?[/b]

[KALEB CULLEN]

Kaleb listened to her speak. Most parents always wanted the opposite of what they got. Nessie was way better than E.J. When she asked him about how his parents came up with his name. He'd never really asked or thought on it. Or the matter if he was what they wanted to begin with. His parents and human family was a touchy subject but he would answer none the less.

"Well, I don't know if my parents wanted a boy or girl to begin with when I came into the picture. I think they wanted a girl though. They were pretty happy when my little sister was born. Or they were expecting me to be a girl and got a surprise. I really never asked. How they came up with Kaleb Sage I have no clue. Better than some of the names I've seen people give their kids. I never gave it much thought or asked though."

He said as he ran his fingers through his hair. Out of habit and as he tried to keep all his fuzzy human memories trapped behind the barrier he kept up to keep prying people out. Even though he knew Renesmee wasn't one of them. He didn't want to take that risk. Watching as she kept her feet out in the rain that fell from the darkening sky in heavy drops.

[RENESMEE CULLEN]

She knew that if Bella heard her talking about the fact that she wanted a boy her mother would be upset. It was obvious that Nessie was never supposed to know that her mother wanted a son. That was one of the few things that her family tried to keep out of Nessies head but when she wanted to find something you didn’t have the ability to hide it from her. You just couldn’t hide things from her because one slight touch she could be in your head. There were no secrets from a girl like her. Bury everything as deep as you wanted to in your mind but it wouldn’t work against her. Even her mother’s shield didn’t work against her. Running her fingers through her hair she pulled at the tangles that had formed as her hair started to dry. But she could only get to one part of her hair because her head was still on his shoulder. She just wasn’t in the mood to move her head just yet.

As he spoke she turned her head a little so she could see him without really moving all that much. She was comfy with how she was sitting even though her feet were getting a little wet from the rain. That didn’t bother her any. She enjoyed the rain. I like your middle name it’s interesting. Though to me I think your first name is too. I’ve always thought of Kaleb with a C not a K.

[/b] she shrugged a little and laughed when he mentioned other kids names. There were some really odd ones out there even compared to her name. That wasn’t something she’d ever expected but Renesmee didn’t have the oddest name in the world. Which she was pretty happy about. Yes she enjoyed her name being original but she didn’t really want her name to be the oddest in the world. Believe me if she named me something really odd I would have changed my name.[/b]

Nessie could tell that he was still trying to make sure he wasn’t thinking of anything that he didn’t want people to know. Even when she promised that she wouldn’t look in his head he still tried to make sure that he wasn’t giving things away. But she understood that he didn’t trust everyone as much as he should. She ignored it and tried not to care that he still didn’t trust how close she was. At least he hadn’t told her to move yet.

[KALEB CULLEN]

Kaleb scratched the bridge of his nose. Listening to her speak he chuckled. Yeah if he had an odd name he would have changed it at first chance he got. Weird names were better off being left where ever they were found.

"Yeah I don't know why they spelled it with a K instead of a C....Creative thinking I guess or they just wanted something different but at the same time original."

He said as he propped his elbows on his left elbow on his knee and propped his head up on his fist. He was trying to be more relaxed and less guarded. Around her anyways. But after so long of building up walls it was hard to really just let them down and go off guard. At least he was trying.

His amber eyes looked out across the rainy yard and kinda just zoned out and focused on the rain and how it beat down on the petals of one of the distant wild flowers that spurted from the ground at the forests edge. It was nice to really just sit there and talk as the rain cooled the air down and gave everything its own unique fresh scent.

To a humans' nose it was noticeable but not as it was to vampire senses. It was a nice scent that kinda woke everything up. That was probably why everything in this rainy town was so lively and green. It seemed everything perked up after rain occurred.

[RENESMEE CULLEN]

She nodded as she listened to what he was saying to her. It was a lot more original to change a letter in a name then to just use the original. Normal names were boring but at least a letter could change things. Sometimes when she was daydreaming about being married with kids she thought about names but no one really knew if she could even have children or not. But those were the thoughts that she kept far away from her father. The last thing he needed to hear her think was about having children with Jacob. He’d probably kill Jake if he thought they were like that with each other. She really didn’t need that to happen. Sighing she closed her eyes and her mind drifted off to thinking about a baby. A beautiful baby laying in their crib giggling about something that had happened. Before she realized what she was doing her mind slipped into Kaleb’s sharing the thought. Snapping her eyes open she moved away from him. I’m sorry, I just zoned out.

[/b]

Running her hands though her hair a few times she looked out at the rain and took a deep breath trying to brush the thoughts away. It was kind of stupid of her to be thinking about that but she couldn’t really help it. Sometimes her mind just went off on tangents and she thought about random things. This was just one of those times. Random things just pop into my head sometimes but really it’s nothing.[/b] The last thing she needed him to think was that she had a baby on board because she totally didn’t. but some people would jump to that conclusion after that little glimpse into her mind. Moving up a step so she was on the deck she laid back before bending her knees leaving her laying on the deck with her feet on the step below her. Most wouldn’t find it comfortable but it was for her.

Taking a deep breath she inhaled the smell of the rain and savored it for a moment. She really did love the smell of fresh rain when it just started hitting the grass. When it had been raining for a while it didn’t have the same smell. Did you ever think about things like that? Or am I just odd?[/b]

[KALEB CULLEN]

Kaleb fell silent, and comfortable silence fell between the two of them. Off in his own world of thinking when he felt a thought that was not his own and a image come into his mind. A baby... Babies were no part of his thinking. Looking at Renesmee as she apologized he spoke with a slight smirk of amusement,

"Awkward. Renesmee, I kinda figured it wasn't part of my line of thinking. I don't think about giggling babies. So I had a feeling you let that slip, Someone has a case of baby tunnel vision."

He went back to thinking. When she spoke again he looked at her and then said as he looked out into the rainy yard,

"Well. I try not to think about the future. I mean when I do I always get the questions. What if this ever happened and what if this never happened. I mean even the slightest alter to a routine could change whats gonna happen. For instance if there was gonna be a crash with you or someone you cared about or both were involved in and you were held up for a mere second or you switched something in your daily routine around. That could alter the out come entirely."

Kaleb paused and thought for a moment before continuing,

"Then you question your actions and wonder entirely where you played a part in. Everything's about timing and precision. I mean I highly doubt anythings gonna happen anytime soon so I don't really think about anything in the future. Sure it has crossed my mind on occasion....Nah your not strange. I imagine everyone has those thoughts cross their head at some point."

He spoke and went into his own world of thoughts once again. Guardedly thinking about how things could have possibly turned out if he hadn't gotten home late from baseball practice and had actually been in the house when it caught fire. Would he have met the same fate as his parents had. He probably would have cause usually after practices when he got home he always fell asleep on the couch watching Television. Then he always thought what would have happened if he hadn't slit his wrist that day in the woods after running from the inferno that had once been his home. Or how all of this may have not happened if his Sister had never been killed.

Shaking the thoughts from his head he sighed. It was a reason he hated thinking on the past and future. It made him question his actions and the things that happened around him.
