Today I turn 16 although I look about 25 and it has now been a little over fifteen years since I have seen my parents. I live with my best friend/boyfriend Jacob who has also been my "Guardian" for the last fifteen years. Were getting ready to move for the umpteenth time because neither of us age and so people are starting to notice. Jacob has been everything for me my friend, my confidant, but he has never been my parent. To be honest it would have been awkward if he had considering were now dating, but that's an imprint for you he is everything I will ever need which is part of the reason I love him but also I feel like a big experience was stolen from me. I will never get to wonder who I'll end up with or go on a thousand bad first dates all I'll ever know is Jacob.
Anyway the reason this move is so important is because Jacob has finally agreed that I am old enough to start figuring out how to save my family from the Volturi. We are going to move into my old house- now that we have been gone so long they will have stopped expecting us- so that I can start learning to fight like my mom did when the bastards first came around but then it was to kill me and take my family. Plus though Jake would never admit it I know he misses his family dearly and I miss my grandpa I write him now to tell him that I am ok, but I really want to see him he's the only family I have left. Well that isn't a brainwashed freak. I am hoping to get help with my training from some of the survivors that I had befriended as a child like Zafrina, and the Denalis who I had also tried to stay in touch with.
" Nessie are you here?" Jake called from the front door. Pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Yea Jake back here." I was the only one worried about packing what few belongings I had Jake figured there would be enough at the house to keeps us comfortable but I wanted the few things that I had been able to call mine for all these years. My hand immediately went to the locket my mother had given me the Christmas before the Volturi came for us. Jake knowing where my thoughts were headed came over and put his hands around my waist and pulled me to him. He rested his chin on my head like he always did it amazed me how well we fit together. I turned so that I could tuck my head next to his chest and listen to his heart the calm beat at odds with the fast thrum of my own. I tilted my head up and Jake leaned down and just barely touched his lips to mine but it was enough to make my heart pick up. I don't know how it managed to go any faster as Jacob said it was almost like the beat of a hummingbird's wings.
Jake pulled away and grabbed the key signaling that it was time to go. I grabbed the couple of boxes full of things I couldn't bare to leave behind and we walked out of yet another house to return to the only home I had ever knowns
