This story is going to take place through multiple points of view including Bella, Leah, Jacob, Neela (OC), Seth, Renesmee, and third person (as in he/she instead of I/me). Though the story is mostly centered on Seth's romance with Neela, Leah and Jacob's romance will also be shown in the story. Of the points of view, I may not use all of them, but I'm just listing them so it doesn't seem weird.

I don't own shit blah, blah, blah.


*Bella*

It had been two years since my birth, or more like my rebirth. I was a vampire now. I would be with Edward for eternity with my beautiful daughter and three loving families.

Yes, three.

Of course, I had Charlie and Renée who love me always—though these days Charlie was a little cautious of anything having to do with Jacob and all of this weird…existence. But, he loved Renesmee, well, adored her actually, so he never did stay away for long. And she loved him back; she dreamt about him often.

My semi-newly acquired family was the Cullens. They had been my family ever since Edward came into my life, but I had only recently been turned into one of their kind with the birth of my daughter. I knew this family would be fun, and I was right.

My last family surprises even me. My Quileute family, my werewolf family, is the strangest, and yet, the most intriguing of all. Even after I was turned into vampire (this would traditionally break the treaty between the Cullens and the Quileutes) the Cullens were not destroyed, no they couldn't be. Jacob imprinted on Renesmee just moments after she was born. I know, I can't even believe it myself. This tied him to our family and even the wolves wouldn't obliterate us. Most of them had imprinted, they couldn't fathom losing the person they imprinted on and they wouldn't do that to Jacob.

Though Renesmee came closer to reaching teenage age, Jacob still said that he felt nothing in the way of romance for her. He didn't think he ever really would. He would be what Emmett was to me, the big—more like giant—brother protector. Beside the fact that I would probably beat him up for falling in love with my daughter, Jacob had stronger motivation not to love her like that: Leah Clearwater.

Jacob had separated and formed his own pack. Then, Leah and Seth began to follow him. With no one else to listen to her thoughts, Leah dished out everything. Her feelings about Sam, about life… and her hopelessness. Though it took the two stubborn knuckleheads a while, they finally got around to admitting their feelings. But, Leah's happiness was fractured, not perfectly whole; she still thought about Sam's betrayal a lot. Jacob would tell me, he saw her mind and everything. The good part was that Jacob had already imprinted. There was no threat to their relationship.

The treaty that once bound the Cullens and the werewolves from mixing was almost moot point now. Well, Jacob was willing to have me around anyway. He had called me up:

"Hey Bella!" my Jacob said in an eager voice. He became even more of my Jacob now that he was his own Alpha.

"Hey Jake, what's up?"

"Well, I dunno, I just wanted to hang out." I sensed that he was keeping something from me.

"No, really. Why do you want me to come over?"

"Well there's this girl—"

"What girl, why do I need to come over?"

"Gosh, slow down and just listen."

I waited, silent as a church mouse.

"Okay…you know what, why don't I just come pick you up and take you to the rez?"

"You know that Edward wouldn't like that. I want to take Ren with me." I had given Renesmee a new nickname to combat the hideousness that was "Nessie."

"Oh, all right. Just come down, I'll explain when you get here. Bye."

"Alright, see you in a few, Jake."

I hung up the phone and Edward was at my side. He kissed me lightly on the lips and went slowly down the side of my face until he reached the place where my neck turned into my shoulder.

"Hello," I breathed. Even after the start of my eternity with him, he never ceased to make me lightheaded and breathless.

"Hello. What are these plans your making?"

"Just going down to see Jake. Apparently, there's someone new on the reservation. I was going to take Ren if you don't mind."

"No, it's alright. Have a nice time." He smiled, not joking at all, and kissed me on the lips again.

"Renesmee," I called softly around the house knowing that she could hear with her halfway acute vampire hearing.

She came into view quietly and gracefully skipped down the stairs with the worn out doll that Jacob had given her. Though it had only been two years, Renesmee looked around six, she would grow rapidly reaching eighteen in about six years. She still had her chubby face and her bronze hair had its not-too-tight corkscrew curls. I held my arms open for her when she reached the bottom and she jumped into them snuggling against my chest.

"We're going to see Jake, alright Ren?" She nodded happily and then kissed Edward on his stone cheek before we left.

***

I parked in front of Jacob's barn-red house, but it didn't look like anyone was inside. I left Renesmee in the back seat and knocked on the Blacks' door. No one came so I knocked again. I tried to get a glance through the curtains, but I couldn't see anything. I suddenly heard two things at once: Ren saying, "Mommy!" and the cell phone ringing. I flashed back to the car and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

It was Edward. "Jacob called here again. He's at Emily's place. He also says quote, 'I'm so sorry. That was really dumb that I didn't mention where we were. Hurry, please.' He didn't want me to paraphrase."

"Thank you, Edward."

"No problem, love." He hung up the phone.

I closed my door and looked back briefly to see if Ren had her seatbelt on. I always half-worried about her, she was only half-vampire. Her heart still beat, her blood still flowed. She was still half­-fragile.

I drove down the winding road to find Emily and Sam's house nestled into the woods as always. I parked the car and appeared by Ren's door to open it for her. She stepped out and I picked her up to go inside.

It was quite crowded. The usual party was at attendance, and, as usual, they filled the whole place. Emily's cooking smelled good, but not in a way that was appetizing to me. I caught Jake's eye and he perked up immediately. He bounded over to us and Renesmee reached for him. She slid easily out of my arms and I smiled at them both.

Every time Jacob looked at Renesmee, there was something in his eye, something special. Just for her. It was different for Leah. He had a look for Leah but it wasn't quite the same adoration, or whatever it was.

Though I was content to stand forever, it felt more normal to sit. I found an empty place on the floor.

"There's a vampire among us," Embry's playful voice rose above the din. The room quieted immediately and all eyes were fixed on me. Except one pair.

A slender girl sat on one of the stools around the kitchen's island. She was Indian, but not Quileute. Something about her was different. Her face was very flat, but not as wide as I expected. Her gracefully high cheekbones rested on a thin face that reminded me of Leah, though she was still very different. Her lips were full, but not out of place, and her mouth and nose were very small. She looked very delicate, breakable. She reminded me of when I was human, though I could never make a comparison to her beauty.

Her straight black hair was parted off center and hung to her waist. Her presumably dark eyes did not meet my gold ones. Then, suddenly, she looked up. I audibly gasped at her bright blue eyes. They stood out against her light russet skin. They were the most beautiful blue I had ever seen. They reminded me of the ocean, not the one in Forks, but the ocean when the sun is shining: perfectly blue, and just as deep.

Though I felt like I had stared at her face for an hour, this encounter happened much more quickly than I imagined. My sharp vampire eyes had left nothing unnoticed in the short five second "meeting."

She looked away just as quick and then I felt Ren tugging on my shirt. I smiled at her and looked into her chocolate eyes. Then I looked at Jake, making the question evident in my eyes. He smiled at me like he knew I would react this way.

"Bella, this is Neela. Neela, Bella," Jake announced.

"Nice to meet you," I smiled warmly at her.

"Yes," her voice fit her. With just the one word, I could tell that it was light and airy like the highest note on a flute, and just as clear. Her small smile seemed wary, like she didn't quite know what was going on. Otherwise, she seemed perfectly at ease with a house full of werewolves.

"Neela's from the Chinook reservation down in Grays Bay on the Columbia River. She's fifteen. Her parents sent her up here because their going through some rough times. They're friends of the Clearwaters."

Clearwaters… I looked around the room and this time I really looked at the faces. They were all there, even Leah. But, someone was missing.

"Where's Seth?" I asked.

"He went down after they started trekking Neela up here. He's going to help her family with some stuff like moving and things. He let's us know how it's going every night." He smiled at the joke, not at all private in this room. Except to Neela.

"Wait, Neela, do you know about this whole…" I struggled to find the right word to describe their transformation situation, "thing," I finished. It was absolutely, the most lackluster description of what was going on. The wolves, and everyone else—even Neela—laughed at, I assumed, my stupid explanation.

She nodded and the party continued. Emily put food on the small coffee table, and the wolves descended, literally. I snagged a piece of bread with butter and handed it to Renesmee. She sniffed it and decided it wasn't bad. She ate it easily, unlike some human foods that she found repulsive.

When the food was mostly done, Jake came to sit with me. Ren requested his lap over mine and I conceded. She sat on Jacob's warm lap as he talked to me.

"So what's up in vampire land?"

"I'm having a perfectly normal," I hesitated, still amused by the thought, "existence. Aside from the fact that I'm, well, a vampire."

We both laughed easily.

"How're you and Leah?" I was truly curious.

"Well, we're fine… I guess. She seems to be getting a little distant. I'm going to talk to her… in private… soon."

"I hope you get that settled soon, then. So what else is up with Neela, and this whole deal?"

"Well, little fact, Neela means blue or color of the sea. I just thought that was pretty cool since her eyes are blue and all."

I sensed that this was some sort of diversion, a cool diversion, but one nonetheless.

"Really, Jacob. What's up with her?" I glanced over at the silent, semi-uncomfortable girl whose blue eyes were carefully hidden under her eyelashes as well as a downward gaze.

"Well this is going to sound dumb… stupid… maybe even a little creepy—"

"Oh… maybe I don't want to know."

"No, no, I guess it's not that bad," Jacob smiled sheepishly as he unconsciously played with Renesmee's curls. "Well—and Leah agrees with me, by the way—I was kinda hoping that… Seth would imprint on her. There are five of us who already have. I can only assume that Seth and Embry are next. But, seeing as Embry hasn't imprinted on her by now, Seth's the only one left. I know it's weird; playing matchmaker to something totally random and internal. But, hey, we can always try."

"Yeah," I nodded, dazed. I took another look at the beautiful Chinook girl. Seth would be a perfect match for her, bring her out of her metaphorical shell. Then I began to wonder why he wasn't here. Were they testing out Embry before they brought Seth, just in case? I wasn't getting it anymore.
