I'd  never  given  much  thought  to  how  I'd  die.

dying  in  the  place  of  someone  I  love  seems  like  a  good  way  to  go.

I  can't  bring  myself  to  regret  the  decision  that  brought  me  here  to  die.

have  a  good  life.

it  won't  work  again,  baby.

your  hair's  longer.

he  hasn't  shut  up  about  it  since  you  told  him  you  were  coming.

yeah  ...  I  think  I  remember.

are  they  always  like  this?

it's  getting  worse  with  old  age.

too  bad.  would've  been  nice  to  know  at  least  one  person.

I'm  kind  of  a  suffer  in  silence  type.

are  you  alright?  I  warned  them  not  to  make  me  play.

it's  only  a  flesh  wound.

that's  why  they  kicked  me  out.

it's  first  grade  all  over  again,  and  you're  the  shiny  new  toy.

they  kinda  keep  to  themselves.

I'm  not  even  sure  that's  legal.

they're  not  actually  related.

he's  totally  gorgeous,  obviously.

but  apparently,  no  one  here  is  good  enough  for  him.

don't  waste  your  time.

I'll  just  endure  it.

are  people  talking  about  them  again?

ice  doesn't  help  the  uncoordinated.

be  careful.

give  it  up  for  the  rain.

I  didn't  have  a  chance  to  introduce  myself  last  week.

you've  been  gone.

enjoying  the  rain?

seriously?  you're  asking  me  about  the  weather?

no.  I  don't  like  the  cold.  or  the  wet.  or  the  gray.  or  parkas.  or  turtle  necks.

I'm  just  trying  to  figure  you  out.

you're  very  hard  to  read.

did  anyone  see  what  happened?

I'm  so  sorry,  I  tried  to  stop.

it  sure  as  hell  is  not  okay.

we  nearly  lost  you.

it  was  amazing  he  got  to  me  so  fast.

as  long  as  you're  safe.

can  I  talk  to  you  for  a  moment?

how  did  you  get  over  to  me  so  quickly?

I  know  what  I  saw.

and  what,  exactly,  was  that.

you  stopped  the  van.  you  pushed  it  away.

no  one  will  believe  that.

I  wasn't  planning  to  tell  anyone.

I  just  want  to  know  the  truth.

can't  you  just  thank  me  and  get  over  it?

you're  not  going  to  let  it  go,  are  you?

I  hope  you  enjoy  disapointment.

why  did  you  even  bother?

look!  you're  moving.  you're  ALIVE!

actually,  I'm  glad  you're  not  dead  cause  -  well,  that  would  suck.

you  want  to  go?  to  prom.  with  me?

how  did  you  know  about  that?

you  didn't  answer  my  question.

you  haven't  answered  any  of  mine.  you  won't  even  say  hello.

it  helps  if  you  actually  watch  where  you  put  your  feet.

I  know  I've  been  rude,  but  it's  for  the  best.

it  would  be  better  if  we  weren't  friends.

too  bad  you  didn't  figure  that  out  earlier.

you  think  I  regret  saving  you?

she  always  did  know  how  to  worry.

should  I  know  what  that  means?

la  push,  baby.  you  in?

I  don't  just  surf  the  internet.

you  stood  up  once.  on  a  foam  board.

I'll  go  if  you  stop  saying  that.

your  mood  swings  are  giving  me  whiplash.

if  you  were  smart,  you'd  avoid  me.

so  let's  say,  for  argument's  sake,  that  I'm  not  smart.  would  you  talk  to  me?  tell  me  the  truth?

I'd  rather  hear  your  theories.

what  if  I'm  not  the  hero?  what  if  I'm  the  bad  guy.

you're  not  bad.  you  can  be  a  jerk,  but  it's  like  this...  mask.  to  keep  people  away.

someone give me unhinged non cullen raised ness. maybe the volturi let the cullens live but took the twins, maybe the twins were sent far away with one of the witnesses. who knows. no matter what - let ness be feral.

GIFTED (2017) dir. Marc Webb

[halfmortal]

it's just a visit,  grandfather had said, nothing more. one where the leaders of their kind ( his and hers alike, though his more than theirs )  come to confirm the growth of the dhampir twins as their aunt had so foretold once so many years ago.   she's been instructed to be polite as ever, more polite than ever, by each cullen. but politeness cannot be all it takes. bronzed curls flow around her with the wind, practiced smile tight as bambi-like optics stare upon one of the boogeyman of her childhood nightmares. her family had prepared her to be polite - but they had not been prepared for her curious nature to peak through.

❝   @guarrds, do you always have to wear that cape ?   ❞

[halfmortal]

hands ever linked even as they sway together on the porch swing,   the message of boredom is sent with ease from her mind, chosen images sent in flickers :  (  hair  dye  in uncle emmett's shampoo, elsa blue or firetruck red &   braiding one of the wolves' fur and tying it with a pretty pink bow  &   a stray kitten she's seen in their wandering - fur matted and in desperate need of a petting  ).  shell pink lips hold small smile as she looks to @halflamb, eager for his input.  ❝   mummy and daddy won't be back for hours.  ❞

[halfmortal]

❝   it's  so  pretty.   ❞  even  for  one  so  young  -  she  understands  can't  meet  as  gone  from  them,  lost  to  her  mother's  life  before.  she  remembers  so  little  of  the  before  -  only  seconds  of  bella's  heartbeat  and  the  feel  of  her  warmth  before  the  after  had  begun.  they'd  been  blessed,  uncle  em  had  once  told  them  as  he'd  tucked  the  twins  in,  that  they  got  to  keep  their  whole  family  forever.  but  mommy  didn't  and  that  wasn't  fair.  pulling  the  blanket  up,  cherub  cocks  her  head  to  the  side,  earnestly  curious even as she knows the answer.   ❝   mommy ....  we  have  papa  charlie, and he's your daddy.  so why  not  granny  renee?   ❞

⊰⠀⠀       bella     &     renesmee      ft.     @halfmortal

“  your  granny  renee  made  this  for  me,  ”  she  traces  the  handmade  quilt.  pale,  slender  finger  going  over  each  little  square.  she  moves  the  blanket  closer  to  cover  little  renesmee,  as  if  to  shield  her  coldness  from  her,  but  still  keeping  somewhat  close.  bella  always  wonders  what  it  would  be  like  if  her  mom  was  here.  in  her  new  life.   she'd  probably  freak  out.  she  would  hate  to  be  surrounded  by  the  cold.  renee  had  always  been  …  accepting.  but  vampires  ?  that  was  definitely  hitting  a  limit.   how  to   explain  a  fast-growing  child  was  beyond  bella.  but  she  does  miss  her.  alot.  she  wishes  there  could  be  a  way.   “  i'm  sorry  that  you  can't  meet  her,  ness.   ” 

[halfmortal]

there’s  a  certain  innocence  of  childhood  that  had  been  lost  upon  the  dhampir.  for  how  human  children  lose  more  than  they  remember  of  their  formative  years,  memories  flickering  away  to  make  room  for  other  more  important  ones.  renesmee’s  have  remained  still,  captured  as  though  pages  in  a  story  book  to  be  flipped  through  and  shown  to  the  world  as  she  sees  fit.  she  remembers  waking  to  find  the  pixie-vampire  gone  (  her  very  own  fairy  godmother  abandoning  her  in  the  night  ). 

she  is  just  a  girl,  but  her  mother’s  weeping  upon  that  day  cannot  be  forgotten.  doe  eyes  have  seen  so  little  and  yet  know  so  much  more  than  they  ever  should  have.  renesmee  would  have  been  more  frightened  of  it  all,  were  it  not  for  the  family  that  had  stayed  by  her  side  through  it  all.  a  grudge  only  a  child  can  hold  so  easily  is  held  towards  those  who'd  left,  reasoning  gained  through  experience  lacking.  the  reasoning  she  carries  with  her  only  allows  for  more  questions.   ❝   I  missed  you  everyday  too.  but  you  never  called.  why  not  ?  papa charlie calls us.  ❞

it's important to note, and it will be stated properly when my pages are up. but when I refer to bella and edward, I'm referring to @lovedlamb + @lovedlion. they are my exclusive bella and edward and my portrayal is heavily tied to them alongside her twin, @halflamb.

[halfmortal]

it's  her  first  day  at  a  new  school,  a  real  one  -  not  granny  esme's  college  prep  courses,  or  uncle  jasper's  history  lessons.  one  where  she's  been  placed  in  a  lecture  hall  of  her  own  for  the  first  time.  charlie's  a  room  over,  she  can  hear  the  chiming  of  his  heart  beneath  the  pounding  of  all  the  others  -  a  sound  as  familiar  to  her  as  her  breath.  dhampir  is  grateful  for  it,  for  how  rarely  she's  ever  been  apart  from  him  -  preferring  the  comfort  of  fellow  lamb  by  her  side  as  they  crawl  among  the  wolves.  it's  safe,  but  distracting  enough  that  she  near  stumbles  over  her  reply  to  @poemsaid's  question. 

❝   um,  yeah  -  my  first  day  !  I  missed  the  first  week,  had a, uh,  family  camping  trip.   ❞

[halfmortal]

please take this as a starter call 💫

while ness has the locket her mother gave her with her parent's portraits within, she doesn't carry any other piece of the cullen crest - nor, secretly, does she even wish for one.

the  storm  rages  on  beyond  the  walls  of  the twins'  room,  rain  pounding  upon  the  exterior  like  drums  she  cannot  escape.  dhampir'd  screamed  loud  enough  to  wake  the  house,  were  they  so  able,  as  she'd  woken  from  the  dream  -  canines  now  pulling  at  shell-pink  lips with fright,  doe  eyes  wet  with  tears  that  demand  to  be  shed.  charlie's  still  fast asleep,  tiny  hands  once  united  torn  away  so  that  he  might  not  suffer  seeing  those  same  dreams  she's  suffered  through.  but  daddy's  here  now,  daddy  will  protect  her  from  the  red  hoods  in  the  woods,  so  charlie  doesn't  need  to.  she  shifts,  more  rag  doll  than  girl,  as  she  moves  to  his  lap, the night terror and it's horrors refusing to leave her mind - returning each time eyelids close.  ❝ promise  you  won't  leave? ❞
