Chapter 1

It was six months ago. Six months with no ruler, six months, and still we had heard nothing. No one knew about the Volturi's demise. Nobody came to seek revenge, no one came to take charge over Volterra, or sentence us for our crimes. We were safe.

Alice watched for that. She kept an eye on Felix. So far he was still in Volterra, giving orders as if nothing was wrong. Keeping the fear and pretense of the Volturi. I guess it was better that way.

Summer was over, school started tomorrow. I didn't know If I really wanted it to start. The past summer had been one of the best. Almost.

Landon was getting on fabulous with the family. Max and Erin were also. Scary enough Leah and Erin had formed a bond over the summer. I slightly thought Leah had something for Max but that would be crazy. Right? Just the looks she gave him, she was always nice to him, more so than any one else.

Jacob however was a different story. I knew he was trying, it was hard. I didn't expect it to be easy, I guess, I just kind of hoped. For him at least. He was different, less talkative, wasn't his happy cheery self. He was quiet and often left the room whenever Landon was around. When he wasn't around he was his normal self. He was like two different people Dr Jeckle and Mr. Hide. One minute he was perfect, almost as if nothing changed, and the next it was like I don't know. I knew I couldn't expect him to stay the same. I mean I had chosen Landon over him.

Some days I did wonder if that was the right choose but then I always realize deep down it was. It had to be. It felt right.

The summer went by way to fast. Swimming, and four wheeling. Landon was teaching me how to ride the dirt bike. It wasn't that easy, I fell, a lot.

We played baseball every thunderstorm. Vamps VS Werewolves. It was a good clean friendly fun game. Esme swore everyone cheated regardless. Whether anyone did or not was always up in the air.

"Oh come on! That is not fair!" Emmett's booming voice shouted over the TV.

I raised my head from the magazine, I wasn't reading and looked at them.

Emmett, Landon, Max, Jasper, and my dad were all playing Xbox 360. They were hunting Zombies. It didn't seem at all interesting. Lets run around and shoot zombies before they kill us. I rolled my eyes, they got so mad at the game it was funny. If it was so bad why play? I would never understand guys and there video games.

"You ok Car?" I looked up, Landon's sister Erin, had shortened my already nickname and made it even smaller. I swore I couldn't win either way. Renesmee, to Nessie, or Nes. Carlie to car. Either way I was doomed. But I guess it was better than Renesmee, I would not understand what my mom was thinking, it's cute and all but she didn't have to tell people that was her name for the rest of eternity.

"Yeah, just men and video games." I smiled.

"Yeah, and it doesn't get better with time either." she laughed.

"I swear if it broke." Alice smiled as the guys shot her a dirty warning look.

"They would die." Erin added.

"We wouldn't die just bug the hell out of you." Emmett boomed.

I heard the door open and Seth came walking in.

"Zombie's Yes!" He jumped down onto the floor next to the rest of the guys. Quil and Embrey walked in a few seconds later.

I waited, but he never came. I sighed Jacob Black deep down, he must hate me. I had lost my best friend. Then again I couldn't expect anything different.
