Chapter One

I felt numb. I didn't know what to do with myself. It's been two years. You'd think I'd be getting over it by now. Moving on with someone, or something else. But no, I haven't moved on.

I miss him. I need him here. Mom and Dad have tried to help. Jasper's tried calming me, and telling me funny stories. Alice says it'll get better. What did she know? I know she can see the future and all, but is she blind to the fact that he left me? Rosalie stays up with me late at night when I wake up screaming, trying to comfort me.

Even Emmett tries cheering me up, but it's impossible. A girl as broken as me can't be repaired without the missing piece. Everything seems to remind me of him. The Promise bracelet he'd given me on my first Christmas, still around my hand. A little bit too tight, but Leah would always loosen it for me. Even Leah with her dark skin and jet black hair reminded me of him. The russet colored wolf Alice had given me when I was just days old resembled him.

Everything reminded me, of him, of Jacob. Even the nickname he made up for me when I was a day old made tears spring to my eyes whenever someone called me by it. "Nessie, come here, sweetheart," "Are you hungry, Nessie?" It hurt so much, it was unbearable. Today marked the day he left without a trace, not even a note ... I remember the night before he'd left. I was only seven months old.

(Flashback)

"Come on, Nessie, we're gonna go somewhere fun!" I just looked at him, and smiled. "Where are we going Jake?" "On your first hunt, by yourself, with just you and me, and some good ol' dear, and maybe elk. How does that sound?" I sprung into his arms resting my head on his shoulder. "I like that," "Okay, then, shall we go, Ms. Ness?" "Please?" He carried me down the stairs into the big living room.

"Have fun, Renesmee," Dad said coming over to kiss my cheek. "Bye, Dad," I said. Mom came over, to give me a hug, "Be nice to Jacob, sweetheart," "Yes, Mother," "Be careful, Jacob," Grandma Esme chided quietly from the kitchen doorway. "Yes Mam," He walked out with me stopping at the edge of the river.

"Ready to jump by yourself?" He'd asked, setting me on my feet. "Yes, Jakey, let's go!" I'd taken three steps back and flew forward launching myself into the trees. I heard him laugh before I heard him drop on all fours. I swung from tree to tree laughing. Finally, I landed a few feet away from Jake. He barked out a laugh, and nuzzled my face with his nose.

I climbed onto his back grabbing fistfuls of his fur. He dug his nails into the dirt and sprung forward. I smelled the first dear nearby. "Go, Jakey!" I said, bouncing on his back. He ran forward, grabbing it by the neck. I climbed off to help. I drained it, and he ate it. We did this six more times, before we returned home.

I jumped over the river again, and watched impatiently as Jake doggy paddled through it. "Hurry up, Jacob," He came out soaking wet. "Ew, gross," I heard the door open and turned to see Mom and Dad standing there, laughing. "Nessie, honey, I'd move if I were you," Dad warned. "Why, daddy?" "He's thinking about wetting you," I quickly moved out of the way, as Jake chased me into the house. He stopped in the doorway, and huffed.

"Phase back, Jake," Mom said, laughing. "it's almost her bedtime, and I think you should tuck her in," He bobbed his head, and disappeared. Dad held out his arms for me, and I launched myself into them. "How did it go, Ness," Mom asked, coming up beside us. I put my hands on there faces, and replayed it for them. Dad chuckled. "You're a great hunter my darling," He said, kissing my cheek. "Yes, that you are," Mom said, taking me from Dad. "Thank you, Mommy, Daddy," "You're welcome." They said in unison.

The door opened, and Human Jake came in smiling. "Jake ate six dear," I said, excitedly. "Oh really now?" Uncle Emmett asked. "Yes, Why?" "I can eat eight grizzly," He said, smugly. "Nice," Jake said, taking me from Mommy. I felt safe in his arms, so happy. He was my best friend, my protector, my soul mate. Mom and Dad didn't think I knew, but Leah had told me about imprinting a week ago. So I knew he loved me too. He carried me upstairs to Alice's room, where she took me from him, to help me take a bath.

"You look so adorable, tonight Ms. Nessie," Auntie Alice said, after my bath. "Thank you, Auntie Alice," "You're most welcome," Aunt Rose came in then, with my bottle. "Come on, sweetie, it's time for Jake to put you to bed," She scooped me up and carried me out the room. Jake was waiting patiently.

He took me into his arms again, cradling me close to him. Mom and Dad passed us, and said goodnight to me. "Don't keep her up too late Jacob," Dad said, smiling. "I won't," He carried me into my pink room, and lay me carefully in my bed. He held my bottle up for me while I drank, reminding me of the earlier days of my life.

"I want more," I said, sighing. "No, not more, it's time to sleep, Nessie," "Can you stay?" "No, I can't, I have to run with Quill and Seth tonight, but I'll be back when you wake up, I promise," "You pinkie promise, Jakey?" He held out his pinkie. "I pinkie promise, now close your eyes, and I'll see you tomorrow," He bent down and kissed my forehead. "Good night, Jakey," "Good night, Nessie," I closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep, happy, and content.

(End of Flashback.)

That was the last time I had seen him. The morning after, noone knew where he was. Seth and Quill said he had suddenly disappeared, and hadn't felt him phase. I had asked what his last thought was to them, and they both said, "Nothing, just him replaying your hunt over and over." We waited for three days before everyone started looking for him everywhere. They went clear to Alaska, and even asked the Denalis, but nothing. With each passing day, I grew weak, sick, and cold. It had felt empty without him here, with me. And even now, two years later, I still felt this way. I trudged down the stairs, not even looking forward to anything. I looked like a sixteen year old now, Rose said I looked just like mom did when she was that age. "You look beautiful, Renesmee," Esme said, stroking my hair. "Thank you," Carlisle would always try to cheer me up with silly stories about my Mom when she'd always end up injured. It helped a little. Today we were quiet. Everyone knew what today was. I felt it most of all, besides the pack, who came and went, giving me hugs sometimes. Leah sat with me and we cried together, for about an hour. Quill came with Claire, who was five. Quill and I just sat there, staring at the picture of Jake I had in my room. Sam came with Emily, later in the day, to talk to Carlisle about hunting boundaries, and to console me. Finally, the day was over, and I could go back to bed, and sleep, and wake up screaming. Repetition seemed okay to me. I curled up under the blankets, and cried softly. I missed him so much. As I closed my eyes, I saw my last memory of him, again. Me, so small, making him pinkie promise to come back. I knew then, that he had always intended too. Something had happened, but noone knew. One day I would figure it out. I fell asleep, dreaming of Jacob.
