This is the sequel that I am now trying to write for Love's Lasting Touch. Since it is near the weekend I hope to have a good portion of it done in a few days but here goes the first chapter. Please R&R after reading!

Chapter 1

It has been one month since Jacob died that dreadful day in Seattle. I still somewhat blamed myself for what happened but we were all healing and moving on. Renessmee had taken Jacob's death

the hardest. She wouldn't talk about it even now she won't even say his name whenever the suubject arises. I worry so much for my daughter but I know that in time she will heal as I have had to do.

Edward and I came home one night after allowing Alice and Jasper babysit to find that Renessmee had thrown out everything in her room that reminded her of Jacob. When we questioned her or tried to

talk to about it she would just shrug her shoulder's and ask to return to her room. My once joyful, lighthearted child had now become stoic and lifeless right before my eyes in a matter of days. Edward

and I had let her sleep in our bed tonight because of her nightmares that she had practically everynight since the fight. Everynight she would wake up thrashing and screaming because of a nightmare

she'd had. I played with a stray curl that had fallen out of her pony tail as she curled up into my side snoring lightly. I could feel Edward watching me as I sat thinking about all of this. I knew the curiosity

was burning inside him as he desired to know what I was thinking. "I can't stop worrying about her, Edward. She is like this stoic shell now that he is gone and it kills me to know that there is nothing

that I can do to help her." I sighed brushing the hair that was covering her eyes away. "I know, Love but all we can do is wait and be here for her." We sat on the bed for the rest of the night watching

her sleep restlessly as she dreamt of God only knows what. Like clock work at around 7:30 in the morning she began to stir as her heart beat quickened as well as her breathing. She lurched up in the

bed just as Edward was getting up to go start her breakfast. "Goodmorning, baby." he said kissing her forehead. She just mumbled a reply as he walked out the door leaving us alone. "Come on let's

go and get you dressed you have a big day today. Aunt Alice is taking you shopping." I pulled her off the bed and into her room as I flew threw her closet stopping at the outfit I wanted her to wear.

We walked into the kitchen just as Edward set a plate of eggs and bacon down at her place ready for her to eat. I scrunched my nose a little at the repulsive smell of the eggs and greesy bacon.

I heard Edward chuckle before taking a seat in the livingroom to watch the morning news. I sat with her as she finished up her food slowly. I could hear Alice running through the forest as she neared

the cottage. Edward had opened the door just before Alice came barreling through into the kitchen. "Hurry up, Lazy Bones." she shouted happily. I saw a small hint of a smile light up Renesmee's face

as she shoved her bowl away and ran to get her coat. "Thank you so much for this Alice she has been so down and detatched lately ever since the funeral." "You welcome. This trip will do her good.

I will have her home no later than eight." "Oh, I was wondering if you would let her stay over with you and Esme tonight? Edward and I have some things we need to take care of." She eyed me

suspiciously but she agreed and was out the door with Renesmee in seconds. I sank into the couch beside Edward waiting for him to finish watching the news even though I highly doubted he was too

interested in what was being said. I curled up into his side resting my head on his shoulder as he put his arm around me rubbing circles into the side of my arm. We sat there for a while longer before

deciding to go hunting while we had the chance. We took off into the forest leaving our little cottage behind. It wasn't long before I began to smell the sweet warm scent of blood sloshing through the

veins of a pack of deer near by. I let my senses over power me as I attacked the deer and had it drained in a matter of seconds. I drank once more before I was on the verge of feeling sloshy from

drinking too much. Edward came to sit beside me on the rock over looking a valley with a river rushing through it. "Why did this have to happen to our family? What did I do to bring all of this on us?"

I knew I was overeacting but I could feel the stress and tension boiling over leaving me worn and tired of keeping it all in. "Love, none of this is your fault. You didn't kill Jacob." I flinched hearing his

name, "You didn't bring an army to kill us and I wish I had answers for you but I don't. Don't ever blame yourself for any of this." "I know." I laughed. "What's so funn?" He asked confusion slipping

through his voice. "In your eyes I always wear a halo no matter what happens." He laughed, "Because you do, Love. I swear you fell from the sky and into my arms that fateful rainy day."

I rolled my eyes before kissing him softly on his lips. We jumped down and slowly made our way back to the house to find Rose and Emmett in the middle of a heated argument. I hated to intrude but

from the sounds of it someone needed to. Edward and I exchanged a wary glance before walking in the house just as a vase was thrown across the room hitting Emmett in the back. I giggled knowing

I shouldn't but couldn't help it. I ran over to Rose just before she threw Esme's favorite lamp. "Rose, Rose, stop." I said pulling it out of her hands and into a hug. She sobbed as she rested her head

on my shoulder. Edward pulled Emmett out of the house and I was left alone in the house with a hysterical Rosalie. I tried to word everything just right before I got something thrown at me.

"Rose? Talk to me. What's wrong?"
