For over a hundred years I've been a vampire. I've seen what we can tolerate and what is deadly to us. I thought that I knew everything there was to know, everything that was a threat…but I was wrong, an unexpected predator had been claiming the undead for centuries and now it is too close to home.
"Hey Jaz, can you come here for a moment?" Bella Cullen called to Jasper Hale from an upstairs bedroom.
"Yeah." Within a second he had gone from the living room to his sister-in-laws room. "What's up?" Immediately he sensed a problem. "Whoa, you are way stressed about something."
"Yes, I know that is what I need help with; will you please calm me down before I break every window in this room?"
"No problem I can't stand it either."
"Oh, thank you that's so much better" Bella said with a sigh of relief.
"So you wanna tell me what's going on?"
"Oh, Edward and me got into a fight about what to do with Renesmee."
"Why did she do something?"
"No, he wants to send her to school in Seattle, but I really don't think it's such a good idea. She has the looks of a sixteen year old but how long will it be before she looks more like she is twenty and questions arise?"
"Well that's really a toss up, I mean she's turning seven in a few weeks and if you follow what happened to Nahuel then she's almost done aging, she might be ok. But don't use me as a source Alice will kill me for getting in the way. I think this is something that you need to continue to discuss with Edward, and maybe ask Carlisle, but if you ever need a little mood change then I'm the one to ask." He smiled at her.
"Thanks Jasper, I don't know what we and all the unknowing people in the world you see would do without you. You have to admit though you're kinda like a mini-Carlisle."
"Please don't ever say that to me again." He made a face. "I'm going out hunting if you see Alice tell her I'm sorry I couldn't wait for her to finish shopping if I do my eyes will be so black they will never change back again."
"I will but chances are you will be back before she is."
"Don't I know it." He told her as he jumped out the window in the room.

Jasper returned about three hours later to a full house, his whole family gathered in the living room chatting about several different things, it surprised him the most that his wife Alice had beaten him home. They were a family with too much money and she knew just how to take care of it, it was a known fact that Alice never wore the same thing twice. Jasper had to keep his clothes in the few draws she has assigned him. But that was something he had grown accustom to decades ago.
"Hey, sweetie sorry I couldn't make it back in time but I just couldn't pry myself away from all the beautiful clothes." Alice smiled as she got on her tippy toes and kissed her husband.
"Well you will just have to make it up to me later, other wise I will be offended that clothes took president over me." He teased.
"You know I will, don't I always?"
At that moment the side door of the house opened once more. It was Jacob Black, he was one of Bella's best friends and he had been there for her when no one else was. He was also a werewolf an enemy to vampires. But Jacob's tribe had made a treaty with the Cullen's and his pack had befriended them. Jacob was also Renesmee's boyfriend.
"Jake, what are you doing here; I thought that we were going to meet in town?" Renesmee asked.
He gave her a quick kiss before replying. "That's not why I am here." He hesitated before going on. It was obvious he had bad news. "The pack's caught wind of an old enemy. Quileutes are not the only people who can turn into wolves; this is a secret we have long kept from many people and including all of you. These other packs have been spotted about 200 miles from here and they are not so rational when it comes to certain things."
"When you say 'certain things' you mean us?" Rosalie Hale has snapped back. Though Jacob would one day be in their family she had continued to carry on a personal dislike of him.
"Yeah, if they even sense a small hint of a vampire's where bouts they will hunt you down and everyone in your coven, they will not grant mercy to you all just because you don't feed on humans. I've assembled the pack around the perimeter of the house just in case they find their way into our small town. I know what these people are up to and believe me it's not to stop for a spot of tea."
"What do you think we should do?" Carlisle Cullen asked.
"It may be best to always travel in twos and alert one of us before doing anything; we'll keep a distance but a close eye."
"Great, now we're all jailed into our own home with the dogs and going around with a warden. Could it get any worse?" Rosalie replied
"Rosalie, Jacob and his pack have helped this family out more then anyone could have asked for. I think it's time you treat then with a little more respect or not say anything at all." Carlisle had spoken openly to her.
Rosalie had a harsh look of anger on her face and if her cheeks could turn red they would have been crimson.
"Bella, Edward, if you don't mind I wish to stay close to Renesmee, and be with her at all times when outside the house." Over the years Jacob's maturity level had become that of a wise thirty year old.
Edward in the past had many grudges against Jacob but had learned to forgive those for the sake of his daughter and wife.
"I don't see a real problem with that, I know you would give your life for hers and for that all of us are in your debt."
"So it's settled, no one is to leave the house on their own and will have a distant escort to all places." Carlisle added.

"Do you think these other wolves will be a problem for us or just a scare?" Jasper asked.
"I wish I could see them it scares me to think that anyone of us could be a victim to this. It hurts my head just thinking about it." Alice replied as she massaged her temples.
Jasper rubbed her shoulders in comfort then pulled her into his arms. "Let's not think of this now, lets focus on more erotic things and all the extreme pleasure it in tales." He raised his eyebrows in a suggestive way.
"Oh, Mr. Whitlock, I like the way you think." She played caressing his chest.
"Well Mrs. Whitlock, why don't we make use of this new bed we have and try our best not to break it?" He kissed her passionately and grabbed her with more force. He picked her up as if she weighted nothing and carried her to the bed.
"This is one of the best parts about living forever is it keeps getting better and better." Alice moaned.
"Nothing is better then my beautiful wife and her ice cold embrace, I look forward to this everyday even after seventy years you still amaze me, sexually and emotionally, and all the feelings you give off make it that much more intense." He kissed her hard again and found his way up her Dolce and Gabbana top, and another night of romance began.
