THIS STORY WILL MAKE SENSE TO YOU IF YOU READ THIS!...
Okay, this is a little different. I chose to do this just as a small break from Renesmee. This actually takes part in the story. Renesmee has just recieved a letter from Cambridge University, inviting her to have an induction month there. As she will be unprotected, Jacob doesn't want her to go. At this time in the story, there is a new member of the Volturi called Lauren. Who they think is there to kill Renesmee, but
*SPOILER* - the whole thing with Cambridge is actually a trick from the Volturi because they want her to join them because her power has developed (but she doesn't know that). Lauren is actually just watching over her to make sure the plan falls into place.
P.S. - Gabriella is Seth's imprint. Yeah, I made him imprint! Woo!
THAT'S ME, MR PEACE MAKER!
I knew from the second I caught a glimpse of 'Cambridge University' that Jake was gonna be mad. After everything that's going on with this Lauren vampire, all that was ever on his mind was – Where's Renesmee? I hope she's okay, maybe I should go back and check on her. He could not leave her alone. Of course, I knew how he felt. If it was Gabriella, I would have been the same. I swear to God if anyone was ever after her I would kill them in seconds, I wouldn't need my pack either, it would only take the slightest thought of her in danger to make me feel invincible. Super Seth to the rescue!
Awesome!
Everyone waited in silence, listening to Renesmee and Jake's conversation in her room. I gathered that she took him upstairs so that they could have a 'private' conversation. But truth be told, when you're in a house full of vampires and werewolves – you have no privacy. They would have to be in another state for their conversation to not be heard by us and their thoughts mute from Edward. I did wonder though, would she still go?
When we knew about the letter, everyone immediately knew that Jacob was going to be her main issue with this. It didn't take a genius to figure that out. Still, Renesmee would want to go. But knowing her, her heart would be torn between two things: her future and Jake. Ultimately, Jake is connected to her future as well. But what's gunna happen? Is Jake going to go to work and bring home the cash, whilst Renesmee remains at home as a housewife and looks after their kids? Sure it sounded cute and simple, but Renesmee never struck me as being a housewife, I would have thought she wanted a career of some sort. One of Jake's problems I've noticed is that he won't take off Renesmee's training wheels. Because he went away with Sam for all those years, he missed her final years of growing up. So when he left she was still growing and he can't seem to let that part of her slide and accept that she has grown up. I mean, she's eighteen for Christ sakes! She's older than me, technically. Jake wouldn't care if I went to Cambridge. But that was a stupid comparison, Jake's protection – Me and Renesmee. He imprinted on her and she's still half human. I felt kinda sorry for her. At least when you're a wolf, you have practically two of you – one is human and the other is an enormous canine. With being a half human, half vampire – sometimes the weaker and stronger sides can get the better of you at the worst of times. I could imagine her as a wolf, it would be awesome. Her shimmering-bronze fur lying down on her body whilst the strong winds flattened it as she ran through the clearing. So pretty. My attention was turned away from my thoughts to resume listening to their conversation, as everyone else seemed to be doing.
"Jacob-" Renesmee sighed softly "we're not going to be together forever, you must understand that. There will be times when I have to go places without you. There has been and will be times when you need to leave without me." there was a small pause and it felt like the world had become a mute, not a sound was heard.
"So please-" she continued "don't make me leave with you being angry. I want to leave with you being happy for me and supporting me" I had never heard Renesmee's voice sound so pained. Her sweet voice was now agonised, as if she was begging for forgiveness after committing a serious murder.
Then there was a long pause.
It felt like the long pause a game show host makes before saying "-And we'll find out the answer, right after these commercials" I hate those guys, they're so annoying.
"Hope you enjoy Cambridge." Jake finally replied, in a voice so blank I did question whether or not it was actually him. No, I thought with almost a gasp. What the hell was wrong with him?
"Jacob?" Renesmee called as her bedroom door opened "JACOB WAIT!" she cried, her voice crackled slightly as she cried. Within seconds, Jacob's figure appeared at the top of the stairs. I could already hear Renesmee's sobs from her room, no doubt Jake could too. He ran down the stairs and straight past the crowd of equally shocked faces. As I watched him pass me, Edward met my gaze and held it, then nodded once. He wanted me to go and talk to Jake. I guess I should have expected that. But I wasn't sure what exactly he wanted me to do. Tell Jake he's an ass? Tell him that it's for the best? Tell him that Renesmee will come to terms with what she should really do?
Knowing Edward, he would most probably agree with the first one. He probably wasn't the only one.
"I'll see what I can do." I promised as I walked out the front door a little while after Jacob.
I had no idea what I was going to do. If he didn't listen to Renesmee then there was no way he would listen to anyone else, let alone me. I'm just Seth, the peace making kid who keeps getting involved and tries to – make peace.
I ran out into the forest, but stopped at the edges to gently take off this pants Alice had leant me. If there was one thing to fear, besides your Alpha's anger, it's Alice's anger. Once I had tied it round my leg, I began gaining speed to make the heat flare through my body like blood. As my speed increased further, it was taking me virtually one stride to get from one five metres to the next five. I could now hear Jake's paws as they hit the ground like boulders. In that moment there was a stretch of fire throughout my body as my skeleton structure transformed from human to canine. Once I had all four paws supporting my body, I could finally catch up with him.
Jake, c'mon man there was no need for that, I thought.
Seth, shut it he growled. Finally, I could see another wolf, equivalent to my size in the distance.
Look, Jake will ya' slow down just for five minutes? I whined, my head was too focused on keeping up with his speed to think about what I really should be saying – or thinking.
Kid, shut up. Why don't you just go back to the Cullens' place or summin'? Make everyone's life much easier. He insisted.
Everyone's, or yours? I know that Renesmee isn't my imprint, she's yours, but she's still my friend and I care about her. She's crying her heart out Jake, after what you said to her and what you did-
What did I do exactly Seth, What did I do? – his thoughts were beginning to sound quite fierce.
What you did was turn your back on her! Y'know, every moment you spend angry at Renesmee, is one moment less that you have to spend with her. Cause' tomorrow morning, she's getting on that plane to London. The only thing that's holding her back is, you. Jacob's speed slowed down, finally. I slowed mine too.
Do you think taking off like that is going to make her stay? No, it's not. All its gunna do is have her leave tomorrow with a broken heart. She'll say goodbye to everyone at the airport, but the one person she truly needs a goodbye from won't be there. Because he's to busy being miserable about the fact that his girlfriends gone away to university for a month-
Jacob skidded to a halt. I stopped a bit after him, burying my front paws into the dirt doing so.
Is that why you think I don't want her to go? Because I'll be lonely? You obviously weren't eavesdropping on the conversation very well. You know what's happening with this leech that's after her. You saw what she did to Renesmee a couple of nights ago, she nearly lost an arm! I don't want to risk, Renesmee going off to England on-her-own, unprotected.
Jake, she can defend herself! I've seen how she moves-
Jacob began to growl, That was with us! With wolves! She was unprotected when she was with Lauren and look what happened to her-
Lauren isn't gunna look for Renesmee in London, Jake! If anything going to London will protect her- keep her out the way. Jake's tail lowered between his back legs and his ears flattened slightly.
You sound just like her. His thoughts sounded low and slightly pained.
That's because we're both making sense. I said with a slightly smug tone. Jake, she's not a kid anymore. She's not the same Renesmee who used to called you 'Jakey'. She's not the Renesmee who you used to let win every game of vampires verses werewolves. She's not the same one who used to be almost fought over to cradle because she was so cute. Her family aren't your competition anymore, you're competition now is other guys who want her. She's all grown up, Jake. Like Renesmee said, there'll be times when she needs to go places without you and vice versa, it's a part of life.
Jake's mind was blank for what felt like ages. I did begin to worry he had gone into shock or something. Finally, his ears perked up and his tail lifted, I felt mine begin to wag with hope.
Go back, Seth. He ordered. My tail stopped and I stared at him, my mind was buzzing whilst trying to think of something else to say to him try and get him to feel guilty or something. I didn't think in time, Jake turned away from me and sprinted off in the direction he was originally running. Would Edward be mad at me for this? I tried to talk him out of it!
Jake, please! I begged. How can you do this to her! I thought you loved her, or was that just an act? I couldn't see Jacob, but I could feel him running back over here – mostly likely to kill me.
Suddenly, he bounded from behind some trees, snarling at me. I would usually have apologised, for my own sake. But I was starting to feel kinda peeved on how he was taking it, he didn't deserve an apology.
What did you just say? He snarled, slowly walking towards me. Well – I've had a good run, sure it was kinda short, but hopefully I'll be placed in heaven.
What I meant was that I would question your feelings for her if you're going to treat her like this. Worry shook in my thoughts, it was most probably giving him sweet satisfaction.
She loves you more than her own life. She thinks the world of you, always has. When you were gone, she always used to ask me about you, hoping I might know where you were and if you were coming back. She kinda reminded me of Bella, except, Bella had Edward, Renesmee had no one. I was beginning to back away from him, as he was getting closer and angrier.
Do you wanna marry her someday, Jake? I'm sure that- somewhere in the vows it say something about supporting one another. She's capable of doing her side of the bargain, why can't you? This is supporting her and encouraging her to widen her future. So far, you're doing a pretty crap job of it, to be perfectly honest.
He was going to smash my skull to smithereens. Jake's mind was crammed with thoughts I didn't know which one to listen to. I could almost swear it was a battle between his consciences. Finally it stopped, his mind had gone blank again.
You're deep. He admitted, silencing his snarl.
I'm a lot of things – deep, Super Seth, Mr Peace Maker, a wolf... the list is never ending.
Yeah, add big-headed onto your list while you've got it out. He thought, sounding slightly amused.
Will do. So, are you coming back? I asked, hoping, begging, pleading him to say yes.
There's a couple of things I have to do first. He began running away from me again.
Well I hope one of those is taking a shower coz' you're attitude STINKS!
Whatever. He laughed, then I phased back.
