Darkest Before Dawn
Chapter 1
I could see the wonder in his eyes. What would be my next move I was going to make? I rocked myself on the balls of my feet; confusing him more than before. "Come on Bella! Make a move already, or I'm going to have to do it." Emmett chuckled playfully. I stopped all movement, standing completely still. I waited patiently for him to make his move. Finally he came charging at me leaping into the air, pouncing on me.
We rolled alongside of the river bank laughing. I kicked him off throwing him into the air, only to land firmly on his feet. "Now you've done it sis." He laughed.
"Oh have I?" I asked sarcastically. Hr sprung into the air leaping above me; hoping that he would land on top of me, but I wasn't going to let that happen. I closed my eyes and saw the huge force field surrounding me.
Emmett's eyes widened and I heard a light gnarly growl through his teeth. He bounced off my shield, as if he were jumping on a trampoline. "Bella that's not fair. Now I consider that cheating." Emmett hissed through his once again. I chuckled letting my focus slip away, watching my shield magically disappear.
"Oh, I think that is absolutely fair. You're just made because you got beat by a girl, that's your sister." I laughed mockingly. I could feel Edward's presence fill the backyard. I turned looking at my gorgeous husband. "Bella love, we should probably head to the cabin. Jake is back with Renesmee."
He was holding by the waist in the next second. I kissed his bittersweet lips. I nodded at Emmett with a sly smile, and head for our "home". Running through the forest with him reminded me of a fairytale. I finally, with my prince and he with his princess; who were now the king and queen. Renesmee really was a princess. She had the wits and beauty of one, for her passing a six year old, she was quite smart. I even think smarter than I sometimes. She definitely got that quality from her father.
Coming upon our small cabin, I noticed Jacob had an awkward look on his face. It wasn't the usual smitten look he had with Renesmee. I'll admit, I was not a big fan of my best friend being in love with my daughter; who happened to be only 7 months old. But I guess that's how things are meant to be. We stopped in front of them, smiling cheerfully. "Momma!" Renesmee chirped at me, leaping into my arms. I kissed her rosy, red cheeks. To think I had almost lost my beloved daughter just a few months back.
"What do you mean there are others?" Edward interrupted my vivid memories. He wasn't talking to me though.
"I mean there are other werewolves in the territory. That's why I brought Nessie…er…I mean Renesmee..." Jacob smirked at me, "home early. I have no clue what they're up to. The last thing I need is for my Nessie to get hurt."
I scoffed "My Nessie?" for some reason it bugged me that a 18 year old was pertaining to my daughter as his.
"Well thanks for the heads up Jacob. We'll keep an eye out." Edward's eyes looked nervous. What was going on? What were they hiding from me?
