Chapter-1

All of us flitted around the room for something or the other. The whole business was bothersome, really. I had grown used to this place after so much I and Edward had been through. Thank goodness we weren't leaving anyone behind.

Yet, I argued with Edward about bringing someone with us.

"Of course, we're not leaving Jacob behind. I thought that was decided already. I didn't know this would spring up at some point!" I exclaimed. Edward opened his mouth to argue, but I hushed him. I slipped my hand through his and tugged. He frowned, but finally came around. Going to the porch door, I called him tentatively. "Jacob?"

I immediately heard the padding of paws. A couple of werewolves. Judging by the coat colour, it was Jacob and Seth. "Hey" I said calmly. "Phase back and I have got to talk to you".

Edward and I looked at each other. Goodness knows what we'd face now. A new place, a new life.

Of course, Alice was going way overboard about the clothes. "We're not going to a fashion show, Alice. You can always shop there."

"But what if they don't even have the proper and basic requirements for us? What if the stuff they have is all out-dated? I haven't even heard of this place before!" Her bell-chime voice crossed me.

I relented. Fortunately, at that point, Jacob came in wearing a beige shirt and a pair of black shorts.

"So, um, you won't like this thing, but we have something to talk to you about…"

"What? Why? Where? Is Nessie okay? What happened?" he started flipping out.

"Everything's okay, Jake. Actually, we have to discuss some revelations with you, in the hope that you'll agree" Edward articulated.

"Oh…kay? Let's hear it."

"Actually, the thing is, we're going somewhere." Edward held his hand up, seeing Jacob was about to argue. "We, indicates my family," he gestured to all the other vampires and me, "and you."

I gasped. The same exact words were spoken by him when he left me thinking he was causing my detriment. Then, he'd said 'we have to go. We, meaning me and my family'. I looked up at him. His seraphic face showed only a shadow of the memory.

Jacob, meanwhile, was thunder-struck. "Me?" his voice was high with surprise.

"Yes, seeing as you and Nessie are so attached. We have decided to take you along, if you don't have any obligations here. Of course, we must consider your choices in this matter." He spoke, his voice velvet.

"Yes, Nessie wants you to go." He answered to some thought of Jacob's.

"I… have to talk to Seth and Sam and Dad about this. I won't be long. By the way, what is this place we're going to anyway?" he looked askance at us. All my family was motionless too, now.

"Panem." He said. "District 12."
