Love has no boundaries
I sighed as the light of a new day streamed into my room through a little window. I looked down and sure enough I was sparkling like a thousand diamonds I shivered even though I wasn't cold, because all these vampire traits were only new to me. Actually to be precise they were only 1 month new to me. I suddenly had a flashback; it was on my sixteenth birthday that I began to hear Alice criticizing my mother Bella's poor fashion sense from the big house we partially lived in at the front of the winding forest road. It freaked me out because although mom and dad had told me what to expect I never thought I could hear all the way from a tiny room in a cottage straight into another room from another house. That day my birthday party was called off because I had tried to attack one of my friend's parents. I couldn't take so much human blood in that confined space. My friends and shocked parents were told that I had a strange disease that made me blindly attack people and shout war cries. Luckily they believed it, I got a lecture from dad that I should have told someone the minute I found out that I had become a vampire but I stuck my tongue out at him and stalked off without another word. I was doing this because they hadn't invited my boyfriend Jacob Black, not so much "they" but my dad hadn't invited him. With my new vampire ears I had heard that morning while I was getting dressed my dad telling Jacob that I wasn't here and not to bother coming back because I had supposedly told my dad that I sick of that flea bag. When the coast was clear I had snuck outside to see some squished flowers on the porch. I'll never forgive dad for what he had done to poor Jacob. But I chased after Jacob and told him the complete truth and we spent the entire morning together, I restrained breathing in his scent in case it drove me bonkers and made me rip him to pieces, he respected that. He said that he couldn't smell my scent even though I think I saw him trying to breath in fresh air while he thought I wasn't looking.
But back to reality, that was a month ago and I still secretly see Jacob every night when my parents are in their bedroom. When I got dressed I started running to the big house a couple of miles up the road, it wouldn't take me long but I slowed down when I saw a russet brown flash in the trees next to me.
"Jacob!" I called
Suddenly a huge wolf emerged from the trees, it flashed me a cheeky grin and that's how I knew it was my wolf. I rushed over while Jacob changed back and put on his shorts. We embraced for a few moments before I knew I had to go. If we were ever caught……………………..
I said goodbye but as I walked I could see the wolf in the trees following my every step until I reached the house. That's one of the many things I love about Jacob, he's not afraid to break the rules by crossing over the treaty line every night and some days. But my dad forbids me to go to his house; they say I'll get eaten alive. But I've been there plenty of times, besides-
"Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?" I muttered.
Suddenly Alice appeared in the doorway and she looked angry but amused.
"What," Alice asked "was that?" She pointed in the direction of where Jacob and I had just spent the last 15 minutes.
"I……I….can explain" I stuttered
I heard deep thunderous growls from the woods and a little angry bark that was blown towards Alice. Both our heads shot up and then Alice turned to me and her face was thoughtful.
"Ness, why? . Why does it have to be our mortal enemy that you choose to fall in love with?, why cant it be Kyle from down the street or Josh from school, why did you choose him?."
The growls from the forest became louder and louder until I turned to the forest so Jacob could see my pleading face, he saw the desperation and stopped. But he had a hurt look on his wolfy face, as if every time I felt pain, he did to.
"Alice please" I pleaded "Please understand, I need Jake, he needs me, we can't live without each other."
Alice's brow creased as she thought and deciphered what my fate would be, finally she sighed.
"You and Jacob will have a happy life and if you don't do any thing to get yourself killed you will live together for all eternity."
"Really!" I asked surprised at how much she knew.
I heard an excited yelp in the forest and then the scamper of wolf paws padding away. He was obviously very happy; he had a certain skip in his step.
"Keep seeing him at your own risk Ness" Alice warned
"What are you doing out here?" A familiar voice asked
Immediately I changed my thoughts to something else so dad wouldn't find out.
"Why are you girls both thinking about the grass?" Edward asked looking at the patchy green grass below him.
"Ummmmmmmm we…we…were just um admiring what a beautiful job um grandpa did at um stepping on the lawn to um make it umm…. Nice and even!" I thought quickly
Dad eyed us down but then gave up and waved us inside.
When Alice and I got inside everyone was sitting around talking about nonsense, so I gave up trying to look interested and focused on a quiet convo mom and dad were talking about. So I listened in and I started turning red with anger.
"Bella, honey I saw him with Nessie this morning" Dad whispered
"Edward, please, she's in love! Remember when you used to sneak in my window every night, that's just as bad. Please let her live her own life. Jacob and Nessie need each other, just like we need each other. Why can't you understand that? Please leave them alone." Mom pleaded
"No!" Dad suddenly yelled at the top of his voice
Everyone stopped talking and stared. Except for me, because I had stood up from my chair and was absolutely fuming at dad.
"You only hate him cause' you don't like dogs don't you, you won't even let me have a real puppy!" I screeched
"Renesmee Cullen! You are way out of line! "He screamed back
"Oh yeah!"I broke a bit of the wooden table off and threw it at lightning speed. It smashed in to a million pieces the moment it touched his head. It didn't even leave a mark.
He tried to leap at me and hold my arms down but I was too quick. I flashed out the door and in a few minutes I was at the small cottage we called a home and was madly packing things in to a travel size bag. When I got outside Dad was there along with everyone else in my vampire side of the family. Dad held me down while mom was crying and everyone else was trying to talk sense into me. Then from out of the woods once again came my wolf, except he was in human form. He threw dad away from me and then changed into a wolf and started carrying me away.
As I was being carried away I took one last glance at my old home and as I did I saw everyone but mom and dad trying to run after me and that's when I knew I could never go back.
Chapter 2
Jacob outran my pursuers and so enough we were over the treaty line. Most of line the invisible treaty line while grandpa Carlisle and grandma Esme talked and squabbled over how to get me back.
"I'm sorry it has to be this way" I mumbled
"No!"Alice cried, "It doesn't have to be this way, can't we talk about this? Edward and Bella will be ripped to pieces over this!"
"I can arrange that! "said Jacob,"Bella will be spared but Edward is goin' down." Jacob thought
"Jacob, why can I hear your thoughts?" I asked him
"What, you can hear my thoughts"
"Yes, that's what I just said out loud" I thought back
"Oh my god we can hear each others thoughts!"
"Cool, it must be because we are connected through the imprint."
"Yeah, I guess it must be!"
"Why are they just…………………………… staring?" Rosalie asked
"Carlisle, you're the doctor, what the hell is wrong with them?" Jasper said
"Hhmm……. nothing, there is no sickness that causes those symptoms around here." Carlisle replied
"Guess what Alice!" I suddenly yelled to her, "I can read Jacobs mind and he can read mine!"
Alice jumped at the sound of my voice and then acted her cool but bubbly self again.
"Wow that's great! Now come home."
"No, I don't want to if I can't be with the man I love!"I shouted over my shoulder as Jacob started trotting away
"Wait" called Emmett
Emmett carefully crossed the treaty line; I bent down from the huge wolf to listen. Emmett reached up and slapped me right across the face!
"What the Hell!" I yelled in his face
Jacob growled and reached out to claw at Emmett but I stopped him.
"Just a little something to remember me by." Emmett smiled cheekily
I scowled as he ran back to the rest of my family but then smiled when Alice whacked him in the back of his head and called him a stupid idiot. I waved goodbye as Jacob ran into the moonlit covered trees and my sad family vanished.
