Benjamin

The Cullen house stood quietly beneath a cloudy sky, surrounded by tall pine trees and the soft sound of rain. Renesmee sat on the porch, her copper curls falling over her shoulders as she watched Jacob and a gray-brown wolf approach through the trees. The wolf was Sereia, a member of Jacob's pack. She moved gracefully beside him, her ears alert and her golden eyes watching everything around her. Inside the house, Alice suddenly appeared at the window, gesturing excitedly toward the driveway. A dark-haired man stood beside a black car, dressed in a simple dark jacket. His warm brown eyes traveled across the house before settling on the family gathered on the porch. Benjamin had arrived. Carlisle welcomed him inside, while Edward watched him with quiet curiosity. Bella stood close to Renesmee, one hand resting protectively on her daughter's shoulder. Emmett offered Benjamin a playful grin, already eager to see his elemental abilities. Benjamin's attention shifted toward Sereia. The wolf stood at the edge of the porch, studying him with unmistakable suspicion. Benjamin tilted his head slightly, amused by her guarded behavior, but made no attempt to approach her. Later, the family gathered in the clearing behind the house. Benjamin raised one hand, and the ground beneath their feet trembled gently. A small stream nearby lifted into the air, twisting into shining ribbons of water. Leaves spiraled around him in a miniature whirlwind before settling softly on the grass. Renesmee watched with wide eyes.
