I look around myself. It' not morning yet, but I'm awake... again.

"You okay, Nessie?" I look to my lap, and see Jacob laying on my lap in his wolf form. Lately, I've been having trouble sleeping. I wasn't having bad dreams. As a matter of fact, I haven't had any dreams lately.

"Yeah Jake, I'm..." I stare out the window next to me. The moon was bright tonight, lighting my entire room with it's beauty. "Nessie?" Jacob turns back into his normal self. I look at him. "You look... older."

"Ugh, again?" I sighed and walked over to my mirror. Sure enough, I had grown again, and my breast were bigger. Same goes for my butt. My face had matured some, too. My cheekbones were more visible, and I no longer looked ten.

"You look like you could pass as fourteen, now." Jake said, sitting on my purple bed. I had the mind of a toddler, the body of a teenager, and raging hormones in my body. Tears formed in my brown eyes, and I ran over to Jake.

"Why can't I just be a normal kid?!" I whined. Jake patted my head, repeating the words 'I know' softly.

"Is everything okay?" I heard my mom enter. She was wearing a dark green nightgown that went to right above her knees, her brown hair in a complicated braided bun. I turned torwads her, and smiled. She sighed, and held out her arms to me, and I ran into them happily.

"Can we talk tonight?" I asked. We spent many nights talking, until dawn. Sometimes my human side demanded me to sleep, other times my vampire side kept me from it. Or somenights, like tonight, it was both. I loved sleeping, because I could dream until I woke up. But I hated how I would get sleepy when I could hang out with everyone longer.

"Sure thing, sweetie." Mom said. I looked at Jake, already asleep curled up on the foot of my bed. We sat on my bed, and looked outside for a few minutes. "Mom?" She looked at me. "Can you tell me about how you met daddy?" She smiled, and launched into the details.

And by dawn, I was asleep. Dreaming of my prince.
