The best of two worlds **** Chapter 1****
It all started just three months since I turned 8 years old. I had just got done hunting with Jacob and we were racing back to my small little cottage in the woods. Well, it was my parents wedding gift from my grandparents but I was their daughter so it was mine too.
It would be dark in about a half an hour and if I knew my father he would want me back before then. My father was a little up tight but I know he was just like that because I was young and well he never liked Jacob. I have no idea why. Well actually I do. Apparently way before I was born Jacob loved my mother and so did my father. According to my father, Jacob would always try to get my mother to not like my father because he didn't want her to become a vampire. Well that obviously didn't happen. But I still don't see how anyone could hate Jake except Rosalie. Jacob had said too many blonde jokes. But they were funny.
I got lost in my thoughts and almost ran into a tree. I suddenly snapped out of it and remembered that I was in a race. I could barely see the small cottage. It just looked like a small dot from were I was but every second that small dot was getting bigger and bigger. I knew I was about to loose this race so I began looking for the nearest tree to jump upon. When I finally found the right one, I jumped upon it quietly. So quietly that you could only hear a small thud. (So small that only a vampire or a shapeshifter could hear it. But only then they would have to be paying close attention) I stood there making sure that I made no noise at all.
Jacob looked back and suddenly stopped in his tracks. He began whining and looking for me. I waited for my perfect chance and then I jumped. I landed in the small of his back in the middle of his two shoulder blades. I always sit here when I ride on Jake's back. This is were I rode when the Volturi came to kill my family and me. I suddenly got chills when I thought about the Volturi. Jacob fell to the ground causing me to fall with him. The fall knocked the breath out of me. But when I finally got it back, I laid there laughing hysterically. Jacob just looked at me with a glow in his deep brown eyes and started snickering. Even in his wolf form I knew what he was doing. He ran behind a tree and I started counting to ten. 1…2…3…4…5….6…7….8….9… and as if he knew I was counting he stepped out from the tree on cue.
"Dang Nessie you scared the hell out of me" said Jacob sitting next to me.
" But it was hilarious and you know it was." I replied through a guffaw of snickers.
" You know what else is funny?" asked Jacob. And before I could ask 'what' Jacob was tickling me to death on the grassy landscape.
"Sto…. sto…sto… Jake stop!" I tried to yell through the laughter. When he finally heard me he layed back down beside me. It took me a moment to catch my breath again. And when I finally did I picked my hand up and slapped him hard across his forehead.
"OW! What was that for?" Jacob exclaimed. Though we both knew that it didn't really hurt. Nothing hurt Jacob.
" Oh im sorry. Do I need to kiss it for you?" I said sarcastically, smiling sheepishly.
"Yes that would be great." He mocked. So I leaned over and kissed him on his forehead gently.
"All better?" I asked mockingly.
"Yes. Just perfect." Commented Jake teasing me back. I looked at him for a few moments. He was so beautiful. Someday he'll find a great girl. At that thought he turned his attention to me as if on cue. He smiled.
"What are you looking at?" He questioned.
" Nothing" I said quickly. Nice Renesmee just make yourself look like an idiot. Oh well it was Jake who cares?
" Well you should be getting home. You do have school tomorrow," said Jacob starting a new subject.
"Uh. I don't wanna go!" I said huffing as I said it. It wasn't that I didn't like school. I loved it. Different faces. Different scenery. Different voices. I mean I love my whole family. I do. Its just I like new things. Different things. I like acting normal even though I never will be a normal. I sighed.
" Well you got to go so come on" Jacob said reaching out a hand to help me up. I grabbed it and he yanked me up a little to roughly. I rubbed my arm. We began walking. My hand still in his. I looked down at our hands. He must have caught my gaze because he released out hands at once. I looked at him. He looked pretty embarrassed.
" Wanna race back?" I asked to break the awkward silence.
"Nah…." He replied back. I looked ahead. The cottage was only about a short half mile away. Out of nowhere I was being lifted up by my waist and Strawn against Jacob's shoulder. I beat against his back and demanded he put me down. I failed. When I had finally given up I heard him laughing. It roared throughout his body , making it shake.
I sighed and looked down at my locket my mother had given me when I was tiny. I opened it up, you could clearly see the inscription Plus Que Ma Propre Vie written in it and on the other side was me, Bella, and Edward. OH, I loved my mother.
We arrived at the cottage with ten minutes to spare. My father was waiting patiently at the door. He tried to look normal but his topaz eyes gave him away. I sighed once more. He would never like Jacob. And he would never truly approve of my play dates with Jacob. UH. Life is too complicated for a 8 year old. Ok maybe I am 8 but I look about 14. And im at the mental age of a 17 year old. Talk about weird.
" Hey Renesmee. Just in time. Your mother was getting worried." Oh my mother, such a worrier. My dad scowled me for this. I hate that he could read minds. I wish he would stop. I hope you hear this dad! I yelled in my mind. I know he heard me but he just pushed it out of the way. Although he did give a slight smile at this.
"Yeah well… " I turned around and hugged Jacob and he hugged me back just as if my father wasn't standing there. I heard my father clear his throught and I knew that was enough. But I had to add fuel to the flames. So I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed Jacob on his cheek and walked inside with a smug and satisfied smile on my face.
