Prologue:
Walking away from Renesmee was the hardest thing I'd ever done before. Edward was right though, I needed to check in with the pack...and my father. I had stayed at the Cullen's house for four days after Nessie's birth. I had seen my best friend, with her new red eyes and stone cold skin. Bella was okay, Nessie was safe with her family, I could leave for a little bit, run to LaPush and be back by sundown. I turned around once I was in the big back yard and looked at the small baby cradled in Bella's arms. She was waving a pudgy hand at me, opening and closing it quickly. I blew her a quick kiss and waved to Bells before I phased and headed home.
I was back in LaPush in no time, running faster than I ever had. I wanted to get this over with, get back to Nessie, but my dad had other plans. He wanted to know everything that had happened. We sat in the small living room of our even smaller house, I told him how beautiful Ness was, how perfect she was, how smart she was. He gave me his wide grin, his eyes almost smooshed closed. "I'm glad you're happy son...you deserve it."
Only a short while later, after speaking with Sam and the packs, I was heading back to the Cullen's. The sun was dipping below the trees to the west. As I got closer, I began to panick, I couldn't hear anything. I quickly approached the main house, it was dark and empty. Large steel shutters covered the windows and doors. I turned abruptly and ran towards the small cottage that Esme had built for Edward and Bella. I found it empty as well. I opened the small front door and entered. There was a small fire burning in the fireplace, on a small table in the corner was an envelope, propped against a lamp. Jacob was written on the front. My feet felt like anchors as I made my way to the table. With shaking hands I picked up the envelope and opened it.
Jacob-
Alice had a vision. Renesmee is in danger. We must leave now, to keep her safe. When the time is right, we will be back. Please don't come after us, this is how it must be right now. I'm truly sorry for doing this to you, but my daughters safety must come first. Bella is upset right now, otherwise she would be writing this. Please honor my wishes and wait for us to return.
-Edward
The letter drifted slowly to the floor, my fingers could no longer hold onto it. She was gone, my entire reason for living...gone.
