the floor, grabbing his arm to walk toward the car. He looked at me confused, shaking his head, but bought what I said. He jumped in driver side as I sat in the passenger.

Backing out of the parking lot, we headed home. My eyes glued out the window, all of sudden I seen something out the windows. It looked like it was keeping up with the pace of our car. I strained my eyes, without noticing, pushing up closer to the window. Was that a… Jacobs arm came to my shoulder, "Ness is there something wrong?" He slowed the vehicle down and pulled over to the break down lane. My eyes snapped to Jacob but promptly back to the image out the woods. "What is it?" Jacob demanded. My head going back and forth, "I don't know Jake, I thought I saw something. It looked to be following the car. I just don't know." Knowing the outcome of my response, I bit my tongue to ever speaking. His body came to a tremble, his eyes filled with anger. I've known Jacob my whole life, I knew what his reactions mean. I knew the way he was acting, he thought I was in trouble. He pulled his clothes, down to his boxers and ran into where I was looking. He looked back, "Don't get out the car Nessie." Immediately phasing into a wolf, he ran through the woods. Panic, the little part of human that I did have thumped in anxiousness. Debating if I should jump out and help Jake, he did tell me to stay. I know he would be upset if I did not listen. The guilt would live with me if I knew something would happen to him. It was probably nothing out there, I usually overreact. This was probably another silly imagination. The time seemed to go by deliberately, not on my favor. I wish Jacob would just turn around. He's been gone for to long time. Jake come back…I'm scared. With in a minute, I heard a ruffle in the bushes and Jake called over, "Ness..um…can you bring my pants?" My face turned from being frightened to reposed. I walked over to him with his pants and tossed over the bush. Turning around closing my eyes. I heard him chuckle behind the bushes. He must of not found anything if he's laughing, that's a good sign. As he came out the bush, he came up from behind me and placed his arms around, easing the little bit of fear I might have had. "Let's go home?" He grabbed my hand and walked me over to the car. Still shirtless, I couldn't help but realize how low his jeans hugged on his hips. My cheeks filled with blood. Jake looked over and chuckled, "Ness." He said it as if I was being a mischief. I looked away immediately, erasing the images. Jake sat in the car and took off driving. He was very silent. I looked over to him waiting on an answer. He ignored my stares. He pulled up to house and reached to open his door. I reached for his arm, holding him back, "Jake, tell me?" He didn't make eye contact, "Tell you what Nessie?" Frustration was getting the best of me now. I yanked him back and put my palms to his face, showing him jumping out of the car. He looked at me and I gave him a returning serious glare. "It was nothing Ness, I looked around…a small scent picked up but I don't know what it was…" He looked away to the front door, then turning back to me, "I'm going to be around more to make sure it's nothing." He smiled and brought his hand up to my cheek, "Nessie, would you honor me with a date?" My eyes shrank in size, did I hear this right. This just came out of the blue. My body filled with those familiar butterflies I've experienced before. He stared into my eyes, antsy waiting for an answer. Shuffling with possibilities, I looked away. Jacob was like my brother. He was the closest friend I ever had. Yes we kissed but it was a heat of a moment, twice. "Ness, would you?" he put his hand up to my chin, turning it slightly to his direction. My eyes gazed his briefly. It was not fair, I gave someone a chance, why wouldn't I give one of the most important people in my life a chance. I looked at him, I quite enjoy this silent torture. His eyes were now filling with doubt and rejection. I moved in closer to him, "Yes Jacob…I would love you too." I tap my lips against his and swiftly jumped out the car and up to the front door before he realized I said yes. I looked back to the car with a grin, Jakes excitement was undeniable. His face poured with happiness, he jumped in the car, celebrating by himself. His reaction entertained me, I laughed and giggled to his joy. I walked in the house, letting Jacob enjoy his moment alone. I should of known who was waiting on the other side. No other than the noisiest man walking this earth. "Renesmee, do not take that tone with us." Edward hissed staring at me. Bella came over, as always left out the silent conversation. Why was he mad now, I thought he would be happy for us. Edwards face filled with disgust mixed with a sudden lost. "It's not you Renesmee," he responded to my thought, "It's your puppy outside rejoicing. His thoughts are…very loud." I giggled in silence, I could only image what Jake was thinking about outside. Good night, I walked up to my parents, my cheeks heated from the embarrassments of Jacobs thoughts and kissed them on the cheek goodnight. I'm sure Edward will inform Bella of all the latest news. I walked up to my room, closing my door. Slipping on my pjs, my mind was in another land. Jacobs face, his smile, his eyes was all I could think about. We did not pick a day for our date but I would assume on the weekend, when I didn't have school. Right on time. Alice would be back and she could help we get ready. I would ask Bella, but she is a simple as they get. The only reason she has better selections is because of Alice. I jumped into my bed, my body still filled with jitters. I wonder where he would take me. A howl came from outside, I smiled to the noise. Lifting my head up to look out the window, Jake was laying down under the tree staring up at my window. I knew I was secured whenever he was around. I know Jacob would do anything to keep me safe. I slowly let the night take me to an imaginations of our first date.

Elijah's point of view

I tossed and turned in my bed. I could not understand these feelings I was having. My body felt like a 100 degrees and it was stretching through my skin. I rolled in my bed, in pain from an unknown cause. Dragging my self off the bed, I made my way to the bathroom. Turning the light on, I stared into the mirror. What is wrong with me! I was sweating profusely. My hand started to shake, I tried to hold it down with my other hand, my other hand started to shake. I had to get out of here. The room felt like it was inclosing in me. I ran out my front door into our back yard. I dropped to my knees in the rain. Holding my head in place, I yelled out of pain and fear. My body trembled uncontrollably, ripping through my skin. I burst into pieces. I opened my eyes and looked down to my shredded clothes. My eyes filled with more fear. I wanted to run for it, I looked down and I seen fur. What the… I ran over to a puddle and the reflection was not me. A wolf stared back at me. I stumbled backwards, howling. What was happening to me. I ran into the woods, hiding in the darkness. I laid helplessly to the ground, whimpering.

I heard the wilderness, the insects buzzing, the deer's rattling through, and the trees screaming above my head. I must of left my window open. I don't want to get up. The horrendous dream drained me and I just needed more sleep. I felt a shiver through my body. I reached for my blanket. There was nothing, I open my eyes slowly to the woods. I gasped in shock and scrambled off the mulch. I looked around, feeling the breeze hitting my body. I gasped even louder, I was fully naked. What happened to me. I could see my house for where I was standing. I walked up and peeked around to see if anyone was around. I sprinted to my window, jumping through. Falling on the ground, I hope no one was in the house to hear me. I ran to the shower, washing all the out door from me. I quickly got changed into some clothes. I wasn't going ot make it to school, I'm have to come up with an excuse. I grabbed my things and went out the door, into the kitchen. I stumbled to a halt, trying to retrace my steps, but my feet only stood in place. My mom and my grandfather sat in the chairs staring at me. My mom's face filled with sorrow and hurt, holding my grandfather's hand. I looked at her for answers. I walked up to my very fragile mother. She was a small framed women, long dark hair. Her skin was tan, but with a yellow tone thrown in. She turned her face from me and whimpered slowly to her self. I looked to my grandfather, Tun. He was like the chief of our reservation, I looked to him for guidance, he was my father figure. My father had passed away when I was very young. I was told he was in a tragic accident, I was to young to know the truth then but I never insisted to know the truth now. Tun looked at me, "Sit down Elijah." I followed his orders and sat down. He looked into my eyes, I knew something was wrong. "Elijah, it is that time to tell you how your father really passed away." My moms whimper only became louder. The story came out of my grandfather as a unnatural, corrupted fairytale. "The cold ones roam this world with us. Our family are ones that protect the tribe and humans from those blood sucking monsters. We are wolves, shape shifters…" As he continued the story, my eyes filled with images of last night. The cold ones, vampires. This all can not be true. I shook my head in disbelief, putting my hands up to my head. This was all a nightmare. "Your father was a shape shifter. He knew of the cold ones. Their was a few around our land and your father took it to be his responsibility to dispose of them…" I kept shaking my head, when will this stop but my grandfather continued, "He was out numbered. Before anyone could get to him, it was to late…Now our tribe is feeling it again. There are cold ones among us Elijah." He reached out to my arm, "You have been chosen to be the leader of the pack, the alpha, as your father once was." My body started to tremble uncontrollably again. I knew now what could happen. I looked at him, anger filled into my eyes. I ran out the back door and before I knew it, this massive wolf form emerged out of me. I seen my grandfather following me out. This voice
