CHAPTER ONE: VISITOR

I sighed softly and leant back into the grass, starring up through the trees. It was one of those rare days in Forks when the sky wasn't completely grey- and I always made the most of it. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. It was amazing how good the sun felt on my skin. I stayed like that for a few minutes until I heard some-one walking up towards me. I didn't look to see who it was- I had already caught his scent.

I smiled to myself as Jacob sat down next to me, and opened my eyes to look at him.

"Hey." I whispered, softly.

"Hey, beautiful." He said. He pulled me up so I was sitting next to him and I placed my head on his chest, I could hear his heartbeat- it sounded so nice, it comforted me- in a way.

I felt him lace his fingers through mine and looked down to see. He was looking at the ring on my hand. I smiled.

"It`s really pretty, Jake- It`s so perfect."

"A perfect ring, for the perfect girl." He said, and I laughed.

"I`m not that perfect." I murmured.

"Yeah you are."

"I cant believe we`re getting married."

"Neither can I."

"Yeah- but I always knew it was gonna happen someday. We were made for each other."

"True."

We stayed in each others arms for a while and I played over for him the night he proposed to me using my gift. It was a night I would never forget. It was at a bon fire on the beach. I would never forget it.

Everyone`s face when he got down on one knee.

My reaction when he said the most amazing speech ever.

His face when I said yes.

It was so great.

"It`s gonna start raining." I said, frowning when I felt the few raindrops against my face.

Jake opened his eyes and looked at me, "Oh- well we should get back to the house."

"Okay."

We ran through the woods side by side- both of us trying to outrun each other. I lost- Jake was faster than me. In fact, everyone was faster than me.

We jumped onto the porch outside Grandpa`s house just as the rain started to fall. Me and Jake laughed and he took my hand, pushing open the door to the house. We walked in an I took of my jacket, placing it on the coat rack by the door.

"Nessie!" I jumped slightly when Aunt Alice appeared, literally out of nowhere, in front of me and Jake.

"God, Aunt Alice! I told you to stop that!" I said, laughing.

"Sorry- but guess what?" She didn't give me any time to answer, "Me and Esme are almost finished with the house. It`s going to be perfect for you guys."

"Great. When will we get to move in?"

"It will be ready before, but I think you should wait till after your married, you know, so your father is sure you aren't up to anything."

I sighed and shook my head, but smiled at her. Daddy`s only rule (surprisingly) for me and Jake being together was that we couldn't be together. Intimately that is. He said he wanted us to wait till after we were married to have sex.

Me and Jake agreed- it wouldn't kill us. And we could still make out and do all of those things that didn't involve, well- you know.

Everyone in my family and Jake`s were happy for us that we were getting married. The wedding was to be in July, six months from now. That seemed like forever to me.

"Oh, right. Edward wanted me to prepare the both of you." Alice said, turning serious.

"Prepare? For what?" Jake asked.

"Nahuel- he`s here." Aunt Alice said, turning towards Jake.

Jake growled.

"Who`s Nahuel?" I asked, looking at both of them. I remembered the name- but I couldn't remember who it belonged to.

"A pest." Jake hissed, his grip around my waist tightened.

"Relax. He claims he`s just passing through. Try not to kill him." Aunt Alice said.

"I cant make any promises. Why is he here?" Jake asked.

Aunt Alice sighed, "He wants to see Nessie."

"He`s not getting anywhere near her."

"Who`s Nahuel?" I asked again, louder this time. I was ignored.

"Come on, Jake- you should no better than to believe anything Edward says. He knows about you and Renesmee. He probbally just wants to say 'hi'"

"I doubt that."

"Can some-one please answer me?" I demanded.

"Just stay with me, okay, Ness." Jake whispered in a pleading voice. I bit my bottom lip and nodded.

"Come on, lets go." Aunt Alice turned and walked back into the living room.

All of my family were surrounded around some-one, and I couldn't quite see until Grandpa, Nana, and mom and dad stepped out of the way.

He was tall, he looked around his early twenties, about my height. He had black hair that was braided and deep black eyes. His skin was a nice, smooth brown. He looked at me, and for a little while, seemed astonished. Then he smiled gently and started to slowly walk towards me.

Jake growled and pushed me behind him protectively.

Nahuel stopped in his tracks.

"Jake…" I whispered.

"Your not getting anywhere near her." Jacob growled.

"Jacob." Daddy said, "It`s all right. He just wants to say hello."

"He can say it from over there."

"Jake, It`s okay." I whispered, slightly confused. Why was Jake acting this way- and who was this guy, anyway?

Jacob took a deep breath and slowly moved from in front of him. I stood in front of him and placed took his hand.

What is going on?

I asked inside my head.

Jake looked very bothered and shook his head slightly, pulling his hand away from mine. I looked up at Nahuel, who was standing in front of me now. He glanced at Jake and then turned to smile at me.

"Hello- I`m Nahuel." He said in a polite voice, extending his hand.

I smiled and shook his hand, "I`m-"

"I know who you are." He cut me off.

"Oh… Um- have we met before?" I asked, trying not to sound rude as I realized he thought I already knew who he was.

He frowned slightly, "Yes- I was the one who saved you from the Volturi a few years ago, remember?"

Not even the littlest bit, "Of course I remember!" I lied, trying to sound apologetic, "Well it`s nice to see you again. If you don't mind me asking- what are you doing here?"

He glanced up at Jacob quickly then and I knew I wasn't meant to see that, "I`m just passing through, it doesn't hurt to get a little break away from your family. I might go to Alaska or maybe Canada next."

"Oh. How long will you be staying for?"

"A few weeks, at most."

I heard Jacob growl behind me but said nothing.

"Nahuel will be staying here, until he leaves- after what he did a with the Volturi we couldn't have him sleeping in the woods." Grandpa Carlisle said.

"Oh- well, I`ll see you around…. I guess." I said, suddenly uncomfortable.

"I guess you will." Nahuel said.

~BELLA~

"I don't trust him." I said, slipping into the couch where Edward was sitting. He and Alice had been discussing Nahuel`s visit.

"Bella, sweetheart-" Edward began, I cut him off.

"Don't, Edward. Maybe you didn't see the way he was looking at Renesmee and Jacob. But I did. He was jealous of Jacob, and obviously wanted to change Renesmee`s view on him while he`s here."

"I would have known that. I was reading his mind the entire time." Edward said.

"So he hid his thought from you? Come on, Edward. That whole drama with the Volturi happened ages ago, if we were all human we might have forgotten about it, by now. Why does he chose now? He could have dropped in to see how Ness was going any time he wanted? Why now, though? Only about a year after she reaches full maturity?"

"Edward." Alice said, "As much as I hate to admit it- I think Bella is right. I saw it in a vision- and I didn't tell anybody, since I wasn't sure he was going to actually come to Forks."

"What did you see?" Edward asked, I knew Alice was playing over the vision she had had in her mind for him to see everything in detail- but she said it out loud for my benefit.

"He and Jacob, they were arguing, and Ness was trying to stop them." She said.

"He won`t stand a chance against the dog, anyway." Edward said, grinning, "If your right, Bella, then Jacob isn't going to let Ness out of his sight until Nahuel leaves. And if he ever does get to close, Jacob won`t hesitate to kill him."

I smiled to myself, I knew it was wrong, but I really didn't want Nahuel to end up with Ness, at any cost, she and Jacob were perfect for each other, he wasn't going to ruin it.
