Full Moon
Chapter 2
Renesmee
The day was faltering when I got home. Mommy and Daddy weren't outside waiting, as I expected. The forest wasn't big enough….the rides ended too soon. As they always did. I drifted into the house, Jacob right behind me. My Jacob. Of course he wasn't in his wolf form; the scent alone would kill the Cullen's. Aunt Alice greeted me at the door; I returned the greeting by grinning at her. Esme came striding through the kitchen door, a bowl of fruit in her hands. I knew what was coming.
"Nessie! You need to eat some fruit before you can go hunting with your mother and Jacob." Esme gave me an apple and a pear before walking at an inhuman speed back to the kitchen. I walked over to the couch, sat down next to Rosalie and Emmett and ate my apple, grimacing at every bite. I was just finishing my pear, unhappy with that fruit too, when I heard a low chuckle. The person it belonged to was coming down the stairs. I turned and saw my mommy and daddy walking towards me, a grin on my father's face.
"Ready to go?" My mommy asked. I nodded my head. Daddy smiled.
"No Renesmee, I have to stay here and hold up the fort." He chuckled. I put my hand on his cheek and let him know my intelligent answer; but you're so strong, Aunt Alice can hold it up for you! He chuckled at that as well. Then we were off; me in my mother's arms with Jacob running behind us. The woods were getting dark, the perfect time to hunt. As soon as Mommy let me go, I ran into the forest yelling behind me.
"I bet I can catch a bigger elk than you!" I yelled. I knew Jacob could hear me and was following close behind. I stopped and looked around. My eyesight, one of the things Daddy had given me, was better than my hearing; something of my once human Mother had given me. An elk was lying in the shade of a great oak tree. Easy! I ran on, coming to a stop near it and peered forward. It was all too easy.
