Chapter 1

The Hardest thing I'll ever do

"Jacob, take our daughter and run." Bella's words were a strangled sigh. I didn't understand what she was telling me to do.

I looked at her with confusion in my eyes as she leaned against my muzzle and whispered; "If things get out of hand I want you to take her. Take her and run Jacob. Save my soul, please…" The please was almost too faint to hear.

She rested her forehead against her baby daughter's and whispered, "Mommy and Daddy and all of us love you with all we have sweet girl, please remember that." She kissed her daughters nose as tears poured down Ness' face.

Edward heard what his wife was saying and turned to look at me with knowing eyes. Bella had kept her secret of an escape for their daughter from him. The one named Aro would have caught on right away if Edward knew; if anyone knew. This had been the secret she had been keeping from us all. He knew why she had kept him in the dark and in the moment our eyes met; I knew he was giving me his permission. I silently promised him what he already knew; I would be devoted to her happiness and keep her safe, forever. He gave me a sad smile and nodded as Bella slowly walked toward him with Ness in her arms and I watched as they said their silent goodbye.

Seconds later Bella was hoisting the toddler onto my back. She kissed my cheek as a tear slid from my eye and down into her hair. "I love you Jacob Black, you will always be my sun."

Even though I knew I would do whatever I had to do to save the miracle we were all protecting; it broke my heart to know that Ness may have kissed her parents for the last time today. I whimpered and looked into her bronze eyes conveying all the love I had for her. "I know you do." She said quietly. "Everything you will need is in her backpack." I nodded and slowly backed up until Ness and I were at the edge of the woods.

All I could do now was wait and watch. The fight wouldn't get that far I told myself as I waited anxiously in the shadows to see if Bella's plan for me to run away with her daughter would be necessary. Ness held on tightly to my coat, slightly shaking from fear I'd assume. It hurt to think of how scared she must be. I knew she understood very well what her parents had requested.

Things were quiet and civil one minute and then a member of the Vulturi murdered the Vampire woman who had told them of an immortal child. In a split second one of our allies went crazy. She was clawing and fighting her way to the murderer of her sister. I didn't know any of their names, but I knew they were on our side.

This sent things into a frenzy and Bella couldn't hold her shield because of the stupid Vamp chick causing a scene. I knew she had lost someone she loved, but for me it was about Ness and this single chain of events turned the meeting in the meadow into a blood bath.

The rest of my pack charged as our vampires collapsed to the ground. Under Jane's powers I'm guessing. The wolves were the first to be slaughtered. I watched as my faithful Beta was grasped around her chest and shattered. Seth tried to save his sister and was ripped apart without hesitation. One by one my pack was destroyed. I naively thought Carlisle could heal them all and we would all be ok. I couldn't have been more wrong. The Vulturi had brought more backup than we'd thought capable. Enemy vampires poured from the forest and one by one picked away at our army. I watched in horror as all of the ones I loved, wolves and vampires, were being slaughtered. The Cullen's and the pack had gotten very close since we found out about the threat against Renesmee and they were my family now too. I couldn't step in to help because I had to keep my promise to Ness and to Edward and Bella.

Renesmee was whimpering and pulling at the fur on the nape of my neck. I couldn't comfort her. Hell, I didn't know how to. Her family was dying right in front of her. I turned my attention to Edward and his head was in the hands of one of the black cloaked leeches. Oh God no, I thought. Please don't let this be happening. We met eyes and in his last moment he mouthed the word that changed my entire world. "Run".

I tried desperately to find Bella in this chaos. I wanted a goodbye of any kind. I wasn't at all ready to let her go, but the little tug on my fur reminded me of what my purpose here was. Naked bodies lay bloody all over the meadow; human bodies of what once were majestic protectors. They had given their life for my imprint. For me. I didn't have time to find Bella I had to run. If any of the Vulturi caught on to our plan Ness would die and this would all be in vein.

"I love you, Bella" was the last thought I had before my paws forced dirt to fly in tendrils around me. I never thought, never stopped, just ran. I ran with everything I had inside of me. I was always aware of Renesme's tiny hands holding steady to my fur. She was safe and I wouldn't stop running until I knew none of them were in our wake. I ran until my paws bled and my muscles spasmed. I couldn't breathe; I had to stop.

My body collapsed from fear, pain, and pure exhaustion. Ness slid down slowly and sat on the wet leaves beside my head. When I saw her precious face my world fell to pieces.

Her chocolate brown eyes were swollen and her hands were bleeding from grasping my fur so hard. Her tiny legs were beaten and bruised from the brush scraping them. Her once beautiful bronze curls were a matted mess covered in dirt and leaves. I was about to phase back to comfort her and realized that I'd lost the clothing attached to my ankle. Shit, I can't stay like this forever, I thought. Tears were still streaming down her dirty cheeks and her shoes had fallen off with the force of the run. My heart broke for this beautiful little girl who was now my responsibility.

I phased back to my human form and picked her up into my arms. I held her tightly to my chest and just rocked her while she sobbed. She didn't stop for hours. We sat there like that, tattered and broken for what seemed like an eternity. She finally fell asleep and I maneuvered to get her bag off of her back. Bella said everything we would need would be in there. I definitely could not take care of a child with what I had on hand. She squirmed a little while I cradled her in the crook of one arm and her legs dangled over my wrist.

She was so tiny compared to me. I realized in that moment how scared shitless I was; I had no idea how to be a parent. I finally unwound her backpack and fidgeted one handed to get the zipper opened. I smiled thinking of Bella in that moment when I saw a pair of jeans and a t shirt, and flip flops. I don't see how she fit all of that in there but she was my savior.

I would have been taken straight to jail if I was caught in my current state with a child that looked beaten. I couldn't tell what else was in there because my clothes took up too much of the cramped space. I needed a shower and Ness needed a bath. We were both bloody and filthy; I decided a little law breaking may be in order just for us to pass off as normal.

I layed Ness down on a bed of moss and put on my jeans, this would do until I could get that shower I longed for.

I walked with her sleeping in my arms until I saw a cheap motel off of an old forgotten highway. Perfect. I can break in and get us looking presentable. The police would definitely be called if I attempted to get this room the legal way. I didn't have a penny to my name anyway, so it was pointless. I was so terrified that I would let her and her family down. I had nothing to offer her. Not a single thing!

I barely had to try and we were inside the drab room. One twin bed sat in the middle of the room along with a desk and a lamp. No TV, no alarm clock, not even a bathroom door. There was a stained curtain that separated the sleeping area from the bathing area. Wow, Ness deserved so much better than this, but for now it was our only option. I put her down gently on the bed and decided to finish sorting through the contents of her backpack.

Bella had planned this very well. Tears threatened to spill over my lids as I saw the contents of what she had prepared for us all on her own. She was nowhere near weak or fragile. For a mother to do what Bella did was amazing. There were fake ID's for Ness and I along with adoption papers to go along with our new alias'. There was a set of plane tickets to every country imaginable and a key with strict instructions on how to find where it belonged. The engraving on it looked like it may be to a safety deposit box. There was an envelope with more cash than I've ever seen in my life. If I could guess it was roughly ten grand.

I slowly put all the contents back into the bag and noticed the front compartment bulging a bit. I undid the zipper and sobbed uncontrollably as I saw what it held. The tattered leather binding was all I needed to see to know that Bella had passed down her favorite book, Wuthering Heights, to her daughter. Bella had read that damned book so many times I thought she should've had each line memorized. I laughed at the thought of what I used to take for granted. God, I missed her already. This is going to be one hell of a journey I thought to myself. I lay the book down beside me on the ratty comforter and reached for the next item. It was a homemade CD with the words Ness' Lullaby. If I knew Edward he had composed it himself. That had to be Bella's doings since he had no clue what his wife had planned today.

I had a new found love for Edward as well. Hell, he gave me his permission to take his daughter and raise and nurture her. I looked into the man's eyes during his last seconds of life. Tears spilled over this time. For all of the hurt that this sweet child would face when she awoke. Her world was torn, no ripped apart and I was all she got out of the bargain. Would I be enough? I looked over at her sleeping form and brushed a stray curl from her flushed cheek and whispered,

"I will always try to be enough my angel."

The compartment also held three envelopes; Two with Ness' name on them and one with mine. I was in a fragile state as it was, so I decided to leave that envelope sealed until morning. I took a cold shower; it was an attempt at cooling off my temperature. I loved the cold water against my burning skin. I showered quickly because I didn't want Ness to be alone when she woke up. I didn't know what to expect. I was terrified of how she would react when it all came crashing back to her.

I put my jeans back on and went to check on Ness. She was still sleeping and I couldn't bring myself to wake her up. She had just experienced the most traumatic experience of her young life and she needed the rest. I curled up beside her on the bed and let myself dose off into a deep but fretful sleep.
