I woke up to the sound of rustling in the tree that stood just outside my Jacob's window. It's Mom and Dad I thought they've come back. But my heart sank as I realized it was only Aunt Rose. "Good morning Nessie." She said in an unusually sweet and caring voice."Get up dog" She growled as she kicked a still half-asleep Jake in the leg, careful not to hurt me as I was still nestled in his arms. "GET LOST BLONDIE!" he barked. Practically every time Jake and Aunt Rose were together, I felt as though I was the only one keeping them from killing each other. "Hey Aunt Rose, one question. Why'd they
send you to wake us up?" I quickly realized what I said and added, "No offence, I love you Aunt Rose, I really do, but you're the last person I'd expect to see here." I motioned to Jake's room. "Well," She started, " Alice is still upset about the whole not being able to see your parents thing and she's giving me a major headache. And I had come wake you up because well, I'm not going to sugar coat this Nessie" "You never do" Jake mumbled; I elbowed him but Aunt Rose seemed unphased. She continued." This is turning out to be a bigger deal than we thought. Last night Alice thought she saw a glimpse of a black coat where ever your parents are." I shuddered. Any vampire would know what that meant. The Volturi. But as of right now, I was more worried about Aunt Alice. " But what about when Aunt Alice couldn't see Mom when she was pregnant with me? Alice wasn't this upset then, right?" I wanted so badly to help Aunt Alice, it was hard seeing her anything but her perky self. My question was directed to Aunt Rose but it was Jake who answered. "Well Nessie, in that situation, there was no real danger, I mean, we had medical evidence behind us ; but in this situation….." I could tell he didn't really know how to word it. " I know what you mean. " I said. He gave me a hug. " Hate to break up the sentimental moment but, we gotta go. Grab your pack and meet us at the house." Aunt Rose remarked. But before Jake could shout back what I assumed was probably going to be an insult, Aunt Rose jumped out the window and was gone. So we both went downstairs and waited in the living room while Jake phased. "Why would I want to waste a good pair of clothes?" he had said when I asked to see him phase. So I waited to hear a bark. When I did, I ran outside and hopped on his back. Within minutes we were in front of the main house and were joined by the rest of the pack which consisted of Leah and Seth Clearwater. "Hey Jake?" I whispered in his furry ear. He quietly bared in return. "You forgot something." He cocked his head as if to ask "What?". "Since Dad's not here to translate for us…..so….you'll have to phase and….." My voice even softer, " You didn't bring clothes." I heard a muffled laugh emanating from Seth and Leah's huge, wolf-like bodies. They were still laughing when Grandma and Uncle Em came out of the house to meet us. I jumped into Grandma's arms and the pack bolted of. "Where are they going?"Grandma said. "Seth and Leah went to phase and Jake" I smiled, "he forgot his clothes". Uncle Em let out a booming laugh. When his laughter died down I hear snickering from the interior of the house.
