Scarlet Moon

Chapter 1: I Never Thought Of This

Nessie's P.O.V

"Rawr!" I heard as I ran giggling through the forest, with Jacob chasing after me. We were supposed to be hunting, but we always turn it into some sort of game. I ran into the meadow, feeling invincible. I quickly came to a stop though, and my happiness faded away. Standing before me was an unfamiliar vampire. He had fluffed up and very stingy black hair that covered most of his face. The only things that were really visible were a scar running across his left eye, and bright red eyes. Just from looking into his eyes, I knew I was in grave danger. Animal blood drinking vampires, like my family, had amber colored eyes. But this vampire had red eyes, which meant he drank human blood. Because I am only half vampire, I have some disadvantages. My senses, such as taste, smell, sight, and hearing are not as sharp as a normal vampire's. I also have blood running through my veins. It's not as appealing as human blood, but to a thirsty vampire, it's just as delicious as any. As soon as he got a whiff of me, he knew everything.

Jacob looked towards me and growled. Basically, it meant run.

Panicking, I started to run towards my house. The vampire took this as a game of chase, and followed. Jacob caught up with the vampire and I, trying to keep me safe. Lucky me, being only half vampire, I can't run as fast as a normal vampire. It's still faster than a human, but not as fast as my parents. I had a lead, but not for long. I was about 5 feet from my house when he caught up to me. He hadn't realized I had stopped running, until it was to late. The vampire rammed right into a large oak tree, which came tumbling down.

My whole family had heard the noise, and they gathered by the windows. My father, Edward, looked over the vampire, reading his mind.

"Run, Nessie! Run!"

Of course, the vampire heard him and blocked my escape route to the house. My mother, Bella, hearing all the commotion, came into the room soaking wet and in her bathrobe.

"What the HELL is going on?" She screamed, anger on her face.

When she saw what was going on, a look of terror crossed her face. Bella walked over to Edward, whispering what to do. Edward then walked over to my grandma, Esme, and told her to get Emmett. Emmett always enjoyed a good fight, and Edward knew he loved helping his favorite niece. But before they could leave the room to go find him, Bella turned to the window.

"Renesmee, scream!" I turned to face the woods, knowing exactly what to scream.

I took a breath in, then let it all out. "JACOB...HELP!"

The vampire just stood there, staring at me. Suddenly, a deep, low rumble erupted from the bushes. Out soared Jacob, landing right beside me, growling menacingly. Bella breathed a sigh of relief.

I had never thought of this. Never thought of me and Jacob, as a team.
