"It's obvious -to anyone who's around you- that you're in love with her." Said Jacob's friend – Quil Ateara. They were sat outside of the –newly built- Forks High school, waiting for the girl Jacob had imprinted on when she was born. Renesmee Cullen. And the girl Quil had imprinted on when she was two-years of age. Claire Young.
"I don't see why you just don't tell her...even her parents know, and they accept it right?"
"...Well, yeah sort of." Jacob answered, looking at the many windows of the school building.
"Soft of?"
"Well, Edward seems to accept –well he seems kind of happy about it, actually- whereas Bella does seem a bit more disapproving of the fact." Jacob told Quil, while looking at the third window on the top floor of the school building. He spotted her. The young girl he was completely and un-controllably in love with. She was sat right next to the window, looking out of it; a bored expression on her face, until she saw Jacob. Her face lit up. The biggest smile imaginable on her face, as she waved at Jacob. He smiled back and waved.
"Anyway, I already told her."
"Yeah but she...she forgot." Quil said quietly, not wanting to upset his friend.
"Yeah, I know but I told you, I only managed to tell her then because...because she was in danger."
The two of them sat in silence for a minute, until they heard the school bell ring. They both stood up and waited for their girls to come outside. There they were, side-by-side walking out of the main entrance. Both as beautiful as the other, but both different in so many ways.
Renesmee was a half-breed -Half-Vampire, Half-Human- So she was very pale but still able to blush if embarrassed or angry. Her hair long and a brown-red colour-the same as her fathers- and lose curls, her eyes the same shade of brown as her mothers.
Claire was completely human. Her skin was a copper colour-the same as her cousin Emily- and had wavy shoulder length black hair with big dark blue eyes.
Jacob saw Renesmee smile at Claire before she started running. With Renesmee been part human, she wasn't as fast as the other Vampires in her family but with so many humans around at the minute she still couldn't run at her full speed.
As she got closer to Jacob she dropped her school bag to the floor and jumped up high enough to put her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist, so if she let go, she wouldn't fall. Jacob was so much taller than her. Renesmee's feet were dangling at his knee caps.
"Hiya!" She smiled.
"Hey, Nessie." He grinned at her. He bent down to put her back on the floor.
"Aww..." She moaned, pretending to sulk.
As Jacob stood up straight, he saw that most of the teenager's eyes were on them. Jacob spotted a group of guys looking at Nessie. He didn't like the look they were giving her. Not one bit. One of the boys looked behind Nessie and saw Jacob standing there. Jacob glared at the younger teen and growled. The boy was at the other side of the parking-lot but he heard Jacob and turned away quickly and his friends followed suit.
"Jacob? Hey, Jake, you listening?" Nessie asked, tugging at the bottom of his top.
"Yeah, sorry."
Nessie frowned and looked behind her. She saw the boys and knew why Jacob hadn't been listening to her. She turned her face to Jacob. "Ja-ke..." She said dragging out his name. He looked at her as if to say 'What?' "They're losers. They're always looking at me and Claire."
"They look at Claire!?" Quil asked angrily.
"Now you get mad, when you think their looking at Claire." Jacob said frowning at his friend.
"Of course he's mad and of course they look at her, she's absolutely beautiful! When they look they're probably only looking at her." Nessie said trailing off.
Jacob was about to tell Nessie something when Claire came up behind her. "Who's absolutely beautiful?"
"You!" Quil admitted happily and walked around Renesmee to her. He stood in front of her, smiling. Claire did the same. Quil took her hand in his and bent down to kiss her.
Jacob rolled his eyes. Nessie just smiled as she watched the two of them. Jacob looked down at Nessie. Jacob couldn't help but wonder if she would react the same as she did the last time he told her how he felt. Would she get mad? Would she try hitting him? At least if she did, she wouldn't hurt herself.
Nessie looked up at Jacob standing so close to her. She couldn't help but feel –though he was physically close- he was so far away. As if there was something between them, something she couldn't remember or something he wasn't telling her.
"You two okay?" Quil asked.
Jacob and Renesmee hadn't realised it but they had been staring at each other while they were thinking. They both snapped out of their thoughts. "Yeah" They both said together.
Quil and Claire laughed in harmony. "Well, we should get going." Claire told them.
All four of them were walking down to the second school parking lot. "So, are you guys patrolling tonight?" Claire asked.
"Yeah."
"Yea, we'll be up all night. Thanks to Jake, over here." He said pointing to Jacob with his thumb.
"Why're you patrolling?" Nessie asked curiously.
"Just to make sure there's no threat." Jacob answered simply.
"Threat? Like what?"
"Were just taking precautions."
"So...if it's just precautions, I can come, right?" Renesmee asked, latching herself onto Jacob's arm.
Jake looked down at her, a frown on his face. Nessie knew this kind of frown, it wasn't an angry one, it was a worried one. Everytime he worried about her, he would pull that face. "I don't think that's a good idea."
"Jake, come on. If there was any threat, I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself! So you won't even need to worry about me." Nessie told him, wrapping her other arm around his, so both her arms were around Jake's left.
All of a sudden there was the sound of thunder; it was loud and made Nessie jump. Jacob pulled his arm away from Nessie and wrapped it around her waist, pulling her close. It started raining. Heavy. "Ah, crap! I don't have a coat on me." Nessie moaned.
"Jacob, I'll see you later!" Quil yelled over the thunder. Claire was tucked in between Quil's arm and his body, keeping her warm, dry and safe from the rain and thunder. She waved at Nessie and she waved back.
"Sure! C'ya!" Jake yelled back. Jacob wrapped his left arm around Nessie's shoulders and his right under her bum, pulling her close to him and off the ground. He ran across the lot to his bike. He placed Nessie on the back off the seat. He took his shirt off and pulled it over her head. "It'll keep you dry, sort of!" He yelled. The thunder hadn't stopped. Jacob grabbed a black helmet off the handle bars and fastened it on Nessie's head.
Jacob and Nessie were travelling down the road at almost a-hundred-miles-per-hour. The rain was coming down faster than ever and the thunder was still roaring louder than the bikes engine. Nessie tightened her grip around Jacob's stomach. She could feel the rain dripping down his bare chest. "Jake, you can have your shirt back!" Renesmee yelled. Her chin was resting on his shoulder blade.
"Nah, you know I don't get cold!" He yelled, turning his face to the left slightly.
"Jake, I wanna come patrolling with you!"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because when I'm patrolling I can't keep my eyes on you all the time."
"But!"
"Renesmee I said no!" Jacob yelled.
Nessie lifted her bum of the seat, making it easier to move her face closer to Jacob's ear. "You'll only be patrolling around my house anyway, won't you? So if you take me with you, you can help the others patrol somewhere else!"
"W-what? I don't just patrol around your house!" Jacob told her.
"Oh, please. Jake, when you're anywhere near me, I can feel you. Even when I'm asleep I can feel you're near me." Nessie admitted.
"Y-you can?" Jacob asked, his face turning pink slightly. "Wait, I don't patrol around your house!" Jacob lied.
Nessie giggled at what he said. "Jacob...I don't care that you only patrol around my house and watch over me. I'm glad you do." She told him, moving her right hand around his neck and pulling her closer to him.
"Nessie..." Jacob started. He looked at her face, it was full of water drops and her hair was sticking out in places, with a couple of strands sticking to her face.
He couldn't help but realise how beautiful she was. He took his eyes and mind completely of the road. "Nessie, Sit down!" Jacob shouted.
"Wha-!?" Nessie asked. Jacob's bike swerved off the road and skidded across the path. Jake was standing on the road. He'd hit his head pretty hard on the rocks at the right side of the road. He looked around for Nessie but couldn't see her.
"Jake-!" He heard her scream. Jacob spun round and saw Nessie. She was attached to the bike, which had crashed into the railing, breaking through it. "Jake-!" Nessie was trying to get herself unattached from the bike, but she couldn't grip it right to pull it off.
Jacob ran as fast as he could towards the bike, but as if something was pulling on the bike, it fell of the side and down the rocky cliff, dragging Renesmee with it. Jacob could see Renesmee hit her head against one of the many small boulders and again on another. Jacob leapt of the side of the cliff and transformed, he started running down the cliff.
Jacob caught up to Nessie; she was still trying to pull her self free. Jacob ran into the bike, slamming it against one of the trees. Nessie went with the bike and slammed against the tree next to it. Jacob growled. Once he realised the bike wasn't going to move, he transformed back into his human form. He ran over to Renesmee. "Nessie! Nessie! Are you okay?"
She looked at him, leaning over her. "...I can smell blood. I'm bleeding." She said a little dazed.
"Don't worry, I'll make it better. I'll get you home." Jacob said. Part of the bike had somehow wrapped itself around Nessie's leg. Jacob carefully but quickly pulled it off her. He moved away from her and transformed back into a wolf. He moved his head close to her stomach, knocking her onto his neck. After a few seconds he had moved her around, so she was laid on his back. She wasn't completely unconscious so her arms hung loosely around Jacob's neck.
He ran as fast as he could up the cliff and over the road, up the other cliff and into the woods. 'How could I let this happen!?! I shouldn't have been going so fast! I should have kept a tighter hold on her! This is all my fault...how could I let her get hurt, like this.' Jacob thought to himself.
He could see the Cullen's house now. He was coming up on the back of the house, where Renesmee's room was on the third floor. He jumped up to the balcony of her room. The door was open –as always- he went inside and put her on the bed, as soon as she was the bed he transformed back to his human form. He lent over her and looked at her head. "Nessie, can you hear me?"
"...Yeah...my head hurts a bit..."
"I'll go get Carlisle, and 'spose I should go get Edward and Bella or maybe I'll just get Carlisle." Jacob said, thinking about how each of them would react to what had happened with Renesmee.
"Don't go!" Nessie yelled and grabbed hold of Jake's arm.
"Nessie, I have to get Carlisle...your head's bleeding."
"What the hell happened?" A familiar voice asked. Nessie looked up at the man standing behind Jake. Jacob cringed at the voice.
"Hey dad, I fell off Jake's bike." She smiled.
"You didn't fall..." Jacob started quietly.
"I know she didn't." Edward said. He walked to the side of the Nessie's bed and picked her up in his arms, as if she was still a small child.
Edward started to make his way towards her bedroom door. "Wait! You can't tell mum, she'll totally freak!" Edward nodded and continued to the door. She reached her arm over her dad's shoulder, towards Jacob. She tried grabbing at his top but realised he wasn't wearing one, so she grabbed his shoulder. "Come on." She said.
"Actually, I think I should be getting home, Nessie." Jacob said, avoiding her eyes.
"But...I'm sleeping at yours tonight! I'm going patrolling, remember?" Nessie asked.
"What?" Edward asked and turned his gaze to Jacob.
"Hey, I said you couldn't go."
"You two can sort this out once Carlisle has had a look at you." Edward said and walked out of his daughter's bedroom. Jacob stayed in the room, until he heard a voice in his head. 'She wants you to come and you want to make sure she is okay, don't you?' Jacob quickly left the room and followed them to Carlisle's office.
"Dad, it'll heal soon anyway...there's no point." Edward ignored his daughter and left the room. Opposite the door, Jacob was waiting.
"I was driving too fast." Jacob said out of nowhere.
"She doesn't blame you."
"She should."
"It wasn't your fault."
"It was."
"And why is that?"
"I was driving too fast. I wasn't holding onto her."
"As her father I think you were driving too fast, but she would only moan at you to go faster if you drove slowly anyway and how are you supposed to hold her while driving?"
"But...I wasn't looking where I was going either. So how are you going to say that's not my fault?" Jacob asked, turning his face to look at Edward.
Edward kept his eyes on the door. "No, you weren't. You were looking at her."
"Exactly, so it is my fault!" Jacob said looking back towards the door.
"Renesmee doesn't think so." Edward turned to face Jacob and Jacob turned to face Edward.
"You're her dad, shouldn't you like be trying to kill me for getting her hurt?" Jacob asked, half joking.
"Oh, I'm mad, but...I don't blame you. Anyway, after how you protected her last time, I have no right to blame you." Edward told him. "Now she'll be out in minute and I think you should go upstairs, get her things and take her to yours to go patrolling. Bella is almost home with Rosalie and you know what those two will do to you if they see you here with an injured Renesmee." Edward smirked at Jacob.
End of Chapter 1!
Right, I know they still wouldn't actually live in Forks but I didn't know where else to put them so...
and I don't actually know if that's how Claire would look or if her last name is Young so I just put what I thought.
Thanks for reading!
