Author's note: Hi! I'm sorry for making you guys wait so long. I write my stories in intervals and I wasn't sure if I should end this chapter here or if I should write more. But I decided that you guys have waited long enough! So alas, here is the long awaited chapter.....two. ha.
Chapter 2
Jacob put his hand on the back of his neck and tilted his head to the side. What was he supposed to say? Hi. Oh, by the way, you're in a house of vampires?
"So why were you out in the rain?" …That worked.
Amy turned around, surprised someone was still there. "Oh. Um, I was just…you know…out," she said with a weak chuckle. She turned around quickly and messed with the zipper on her bag. She hated lying to these strangers who had taken her in. It seemed so…ungrateful.
"So you're from around here then?" Jacob said taking a few steps into the room.
Amy closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. "Uh, no. Actually I live a few miles from here."
Jacob paused and was confused. Who walked miles in the rain…for nothing? "Oh. So how old are you?"
"18," she replied softly. Jacob nodded and looked down at her open bag. He saw what looked like very expensive dinner-ware stuffed inside. His eyes widened and he looked up at her. She was staring out the window, not paying attention. Why does she have that in her bag? Did she…steal it? He cleared his throat and she looked down. She realized her bag was open and frantically closed it. She sat down on the bed and made a squish noise. She groaned and stood up and saw the bed now had a wet circle on it. She looked down and it seemed like she was on the verge of tears, but not from the now wet bed.
"Um, excuse me," she said as she grabbed an extra pair of clothes she put out. She walked to the bathroom and closed the door. A light shone from under the door and Jacob sighed. He couldn't put his finger on her. She was so…different. Then he began to eye her bag longingly, wanting to look inside at the expensive China. Curious, Jacob made sure the door was closed and he walked to her bag. Zzzzzzip. He opened her bag and as soon as he did the door opened quietly. Renesmee poked her head in and tilted her head quizzically. She looked down and opened her mouth in disbelief.
"Jacob Black!" She yelled in a whisper. "Leave her stuff alone!" She walked into the room and slapped Jacob's hands.
"No, you don't understand! I think she stole stuff and it's in here!" he exclaimed with wide eyes.
"And how do you know?"
"Because I saw it!"
Renesmee sighed, "How do you know it's stolen I mean."
"It looks way too expensive to just be shoved in a backpack for no reason. Here, let me show you…," Jacob reached down for the bag and she slapped his hands off again.
"No. It's an invasion of privacy. You're just paranoid."
"No! Really! There's something about this girl…," his eyes looked to the bathroom door. Nessie rolled her eyes and crossed her arms across her chest. "I think she stole this. She said she lives miles from here…Who walks in the rain for miles?? I think she's up to something," Jacob said his words fast and almost incoherent.
There was silence for a minute. "Are you done yet?" she said with raised eyebrows. The bathroom door opened and they both looked over at it.
"Um, am I interrupting something?" Amy asked softly.
"Not at all," Renesmee smiled radiantly. "I was just coming up here to tell you that Esme has food for you downstairs."
"Oh. Ok." She set her wet clothes on the bathroom counter and slipped out of the door.
"Follow me," she said turning around.
Jacob leaned down and whispered in Nessie's ear. "I'll keep an eye on her for you." Nessie groaned and punched his shoulder. Amy eyed them curiously, but followed them down the grand staircase. Watching this family intrigued her to the fullest. They all were so gorgeous; Renesmee with her long, flowing, blonde hair, gracefully walking down the steps. She envied all of them for their beauty; it was like they were models. Even Jacob- who obviously wasn't related to them- was gorgeous. Maybe he just spent so much time with them, the beauty rubbed off on him. She laughed quietly to herself as she tried to imagine herself being as beautiful as them. When she thought she reached the last step, she took a bigger stride. Obviously not being on the last step, she fell forward towards the tiled floor. Her eyes widened as she got closer, but then she stopped. Someone wrapped their arms around her and she was hanging a foot from the ground. She looked up and saw Jacob. "You okay?" he smirked.
"Uh, yeah." Jacob was burning up. His arms felt like they were on fire to her. She steadied herself and then looked up at him. "Thanks. Um, are you sick? You seem really hot…body temperature-wise," she said correcting herself. Jacob looked at Renesmee out of the corner of his eyes.
"Um, no. Maybe. I feel fine, but uh, maybe I should get that checked out," he said and then pushed past her towards the kitchen. Afraid she said something wrong, Amy opened her mouth to apologize. But Renesmee put her hands on her shoulder, "Don't worry about him. He's so moody." She laughed and rolled her eyes. "I'll make sure he apologizes." But before Amy could say it wasn't necessary, Renesmee walked past her and into the kitchen. Amy stood there trying to figure out what exactly had just happened.
A minute later Renesmee popped her head out of the kitchen and asked, "You coming?"
"Uh, yeah," Amy smiled and walked into the kitchen.
A/N: So...? What do ya think? Leave a review and let me know. I'm hoping the chapters will become longer and more...interesting. And I promise to try to get the next chapter up faster!
