A rabbit was hunched in a ball right in front of me. Instincts said, Stalk it! What are you waiting for, idiot? You're gonna let it get away! But a softer, kinder part of me was whispering, Let it be, you don't wanna lose your head over a stupid bunny. I sat up and the rabbit scampered off. Good riddance.

I glanced at the dress tied to my leg with a bungee cord. Oh, how I hated dresses. My teeth tugged the cord off and the dress fell to the ground. I phased gracefully and put on the dress before Seth could return.

Not a minute too soon. Seth bounded through the trees not a second after I pulled the dress over my head.

"Jake's with Renesmee. He wants you to go into town and pick up some camping stuff from that place where Bella used to work. Said something about a camping trip with Renesmee…"

I rolled my eyes. "Why can't he get it himself? And why would they need camping gear? They can both make it without it." Renesmee had aged to about a twelve-year-old in little over a year. If Carlisle's estimations were correct, she should stop soon.

Which would eventually break Jake's heart.

Seth had chosen not to answer my questions, instead flopping down in the grass to start picking dandelions.

I stuck my tongue out at him as if we were little kids again. He just laughed at me. I turned my back to him and started off in the direction of our house. If I had to go into Forks, I might as well look decent.

I pushed the cart down the tent aisle, scanning the shelves for the one Jake had on his list. He had specific instructions: Chinook Twin Peaks Guide 4, Aluminum. Price: $376.66. I was almost positive that he had borrowed money from his "girlfriend's" parents to accomplish that price.

I glanced in the wallet Seth had given me. One…two…three…fifteen Ben Franklins. $1500! That's more money than I'll have this year.

I finally spotted my tent. The downside- it was at least a shelf out of my reach. As I stood pondering my predicament, some guy came up behind me.

"Need some help?" he asked.

"Yeah, actually," I replied, still looking at my tent. "I need that. But, I can't really…"

"Reach it. Yeah, I got you." He reached up and grabbed the tent for me.

Normally, I wouldn't let anyone help me with things like that, but I didn't know him and he looked like a nice guy.

"Thanks…" I paused.

"Jonathan," he said sweetly.

"Leah." I looked up at his face for the first time. His eyes were a beautiful deep blue and his brown hair fell shaggily about his perfect face. His smile was breathtaking.

I shook his hand like any sane person, but inside my heart was flying away with the rest of me, and he was the nail keeping this hot air balloon on the ground.

Oh shit…

I think I floated everywhere for the rest of the day. Or at least that's how I felt. I couldn't get those beautiful eyes out of my head.

On the other hand, I didn't know I was even able to imprint. Old Quil ever mentioned that in any of his stories…but he also never mentioned girl wolves.

I suppose I had to tell somebody, and Jake looked like my best bet. Besides, I needed to go over to the blood-suckers' to drop off my loot.

I pulled my truck- a yellow 2007 Dodge Ram 1500, my baby- into the long driveway of the Cullen's. At the top, I whistled for Jacob. He was a dog; I might as well treat him that way.

He vaulted the rail of the wraparound porch and opened the back of my truck. I helped him carry all his junk into the house with Renesmee. I liked her- she didn't smell as bad as the rest of them.

Bella waved to me from the kitchen. Rosalie and Emmett were lounged on the white couch watching Forrest Gump.

"Run, Forrest, run!" I quoted. Rosalie rolled her eyes at me. Emmett grinned.

"You're a little late for that, now it's closer to 'Lieutenant Dan, you got new legs!'"

"You're on a good mood today," Jacob said suspiciously.

Cue Edward Cullen, enter stage left. He chuckled lightly and put a hand on Jacob's shoulder. "I don't know, but maybe you should retell the story of when you told Bella about Renesmee."

Damn my all-telling thoughts.

"You did not." A grin was slowly spreading across his face. "You did not!"

"Yes indeed she did, and tell her to stop thinking about him, it's a little creepy," Edward replied for me. I glared at him.

"That's great, Leah!" Bella walked into the room and leaned up against the couch. "Is it anyone we know?"

"Jesus Christ, leave me alone!" I flopped into a nearby chair. Big mistake, their stench wafted up past my face. "I don't think so. He said he was just visiting."

The room was silent. Not quite an awkward silence, more of a what-the-hell-was-that silence.

Renesmee, who had been sitting quietly on the stairs, stood up and said "Let's go for a walk, Leah." I followed her out of the house, only wanting to be rid of the stares.

Review review review! How'd you like it? It's my summer break, so updates should come soon.
