A New Dawn Breaking

Chapter 1- Dreaming

AN: Yay! New story! This is a relatively old idea, but with MAJOR SPOILERS. Seriously, the SUMMARY would give it away. So leave, if you haven't read BD yet. Please comment! I want opinions, positive or negative!

"Nessie," he whispered.

"Yes Jake?" I replied quietly.

"Nessie," he repeated, the nickname seeming out-of-place, given the situation. "I love you."

I leaned forward, trying to see him better. It was close to midnight, and the moonlight was very dim. I could hear the rush of the ocean below me, though I neither knew nor cared where I was and how I got there. His arms wrapped around me, shielding me from the cold sea breeze. It couldn't have been a more perfect moment.

My eyes fluttered open immediately. I checked the clock: 6:30 on the nose. I sighed roughly and closed my eyes, trying to return to the dream. I couldn't. Sighing again, I sat up and rubbed my eyes. These dreams were getting annoyingly short.

"Nessie?" Jake called from his "doggy bed" on the floor. "You okay?"

I turned towards him and smiled. "I'm fine. You?"

At 6:30 in the morning, it's hard to believe that it was a Saturday. This was our typical morning here; my internal clock didn't seem to know the meaning of the word "weekend." Despite the whole "half-breed" thing, Jake and I still needed to sleep. Rosalie, being the amazingly nice person she was, went out and bought Jacob a doggy bed for him. I admire his response ("Thank you, Rosalie!" *Fake cheesy smile*) and now he still uses it. I laugh every time I see it.

"Yeah, I'm actually ready to leave this place. What do you want to do today?"

I hopped down from my bed and rifled through my closet (well-stocked by Alice, of course), trying to find a suitable outfit. "Not sure. Let's get some breakfast first."

"Works for me." He stood up and left me to change alone.

Alone. Not a good word for me. Having a boyfriend who slept in my room and a father who could read my mind, let's just say I don't have the most normal teenage life. Since I'm technically only 5, however, I'm not allowed to be romantically involved yet. It sucks.

"Ness, you coming or what?" he called up the stairs. I realized that I hadn't gotten dressed yet.

"Um, yeah. One second!" I threw on a tunic and jeans, pulled my hair into pigtails, and raced downstairs.

"Mmmm, waffles." I sniffed the air as Esme brought out our breakfast. She smiled.

"Glad you like them. Sometimes, I wish I could taste my own food…" she sighed.

"Oh, I assure you, it's delicious." I gave my "grandmother" a hug before sitting next to Jacob.

"You getting used to the bloodsuckers yet, Jake?" I teased, taking a few waffles from the stack.

He laughed. "Yeah, I actually am. Your dad's not as bad as he used to be, and Alice seems to like me a little more. Blondie's a jerk, but…" I laughed with him as Esme shook her head, smiling. "Mostly joking. But you all aren't as bad as everyone says. Even the smell goes away after a while."

"Well, that's good," I replied. Before Jake could speak, though, his phone rang.

"Hello?" he grumbled. Rolling his eyes, he spoke again. "Oh, hi Sam. Nope, I…oh, crap! That was today? …Yes, Sherlock, I'm with Renesmee. Yeah, I'm not dead yet." He smiled, and continued. "Yup, it's all set. And thanks for helping. I'll tell…he already knows, Smartness. I'm not that good. Yeah, I guess that's okay…I'll be right over…bye." He sighed as he hit the "end" button. Then he turned to me. "I have to go with Sam today. I might be gone a while."

My eyes widened, and I reached out to touch my hand to his face. I showed him a pack of wolves fighting with vampires. Vicious, bloodthirsty, evil vampires. "Oh, no, it's nothing like that! We're just surveying to make sure nothing goes wrong. We don't plan on finding anything." He smiled and patted my shoulder. "I'll be back by dinner, promise. Don't do anything dumb."

"I giggled slightly at the advice. "I won't. Not on purpose, anyway."

He smiled. "Good. Oh, and wear something nice tonight. I've got a surprise for you."

Confused, I frowned. "Okay…" I said, a little suspicious.

"Don't worry, it's a good surprise." He grinned a wide, puppylike grin. I waved goodbye and he left.

Great. Alone again. I sighed and headed upstairs to find something to do.
