"Hey Jacob, where did you run off to?"Seth's voice enters my head

"Hey Seth, I really don't know. You know how I get when I go for a nice run. I never pay attention."

"Who's that girl?"

"Ren-es-me." I pronounce her name slowly. It is a mouth full.

"I agree with that. What kind of name is that?"

"The name of my imprint."

"You imprinted on that girl." Seth seems joyous. "How did you to meet?" I replay my day for him. "Aw, how cute she thinks your beautiful Kar."

"Not funny."

"Why didn't you change?"
"I didn't want to scare her. Not everyone knows about werewolves."

"True." He replies back."

"So is it safe to assume that you are going to be hanging out there…wherever there is?"

"You bet. I know that she didn't want to leave. I didn't want her to leave, but yes I will be here for a while."

"Well at least try to figure out where you are and I'm assuming that this is going to be our method of communicating for a while.

"You assume correctly."

"Ha, Ha , that means beta is in charge until you return."

"You know what; maybe you shouldn't be the beta."

"No please, I want to."

"Calm down."

"So how are you going to show her?"

"I don't know yet. I don't want to have to run to a tree and then come back human, which could confuse her."

"Maybe, but she should know that it is you and besides she looks really smart."

"Yeah she does. I could change right in front of her and then quickly put my pants on."

"Are you afraid that she is going to be ogling your naked body?"

"Not really, I'm more concerned that she is going to freak out if I change right in front of her."

"I guess if she was Quileute, it would be easier. You know, considering all the legends within our tribe that just so happen to be true."

"Yeah I guess that it would be easier."

"Hey Jake, where are you?" Asks Embry as he enters into the conversation.

"I have no idea."

"Looks like the alpha has imprinted. She's pretty."

"I know." Seth thinks up another way for me to tell her."

"She saw you in your wolf form and named you Wolfy. That's so bad." Responds Embry

"Ha Ha, very funny."

"You know what I think?" asks Embry

"Yes I do know what you're thinking; we share a mind right now."

"Whatever, any way, I'm only out to enjoy a nice run." He idea flashes in our minds.

That idea seems like that it will work without scaring her…well when he puts it like that.

Last night I dreamed about the wolf. But not only did I dream of the wolf. I dreamed that he turned into a human. I dreamed that the wolf was a werewolf. I guess my subconscious wishes that he could be human and be my friend. I have had friends but I can't keep them forever. People don't live forever but I guess I can consider that Nahuel is my friend along with his sister Jennifer. Oh and Zafernia. In my dream we ran together. Which confuses me because, werewolves and vampires are enemies. Or at least that is what the legends say. Of course the legends in reference to vampires are skewed, so I'm not going to reference legends of werewolves to much. I check my phone for the time. My aunt has left me a message asking me if I would like to go shopping sometime soon. "Sure I respond back." just as long as it is not for today.

I throw on some shorts and a tank top and hurry down stairs while I am thinking about watching movies. Breakfast is waiting when I get there, french toast and eggs.

"So what's on the agenda for today Renesmee?" Inquires my Uncle Emmett.

"I was going to go for a walk and possible watch a few movies."

"Boring. How about we play a game? Sounds fun right."

"Not really, I guess I'm just not in the mood."

"Ok fine, I'll go bother someone else. I wonder what Jasper is doing."

"NO! Emmett try again." Yells Aunt Alice from upstairs. I guess he is going to have to think of something else to do. "That's better." Yells Aunt Alice. Good for him.

"Are you really taking a walk or are you going back to your spot to do whatever you do?" asks my father

"Your good dad."

"Well enjoy your over cast. Your mother and I plus Carlisle are accompanying Esme to the botanical gardens and the local nursery."

"Cool have fun, but if you see a lily all by itself that wants a home you could get it for me."

"I will make sure I get you a lily."

"Thank you daddy." I reply sweetly.

Turns out that today is Thursday and they all have some type of plans. I leave out around two in the afternoon after everyone leaves. I pack me a lunch in a picnic basket and a few snacks for him. I press play on my ipod and begin running up the stream to my spot where I saw the lovely wolf. I didn't want to run to fast because I was afraid that he might not be there, but on the other hand I wanted to get there quickly to see if he is there. As I get closer I notice a body lying in the grass. It's him. I can't believe that he is here!

"Hi boy!" I say excitedly. He gets up, and waits for me. I pet his head and he licks me. "Helloooooooo….Sora?" he shakes his head no.

"Well I'm not going to stress over it. I know that I will get it one day hopefully."

He barks once. I guess he's excited that I will know his name.

"I'm glad that you stayed or came back to this spot. Do you want to know something?"

He dips his head. "I had a dream about you last night." his tongue falls out of his mouth in a happy gesture. "In my dream I got to ride on your back and just be here in the middle of this place. You know now that I think about it, you remind me of a charm that my mother has. But that's beside the point of the dream. The best part of the dream was that you turned into a human. But you walked away." He shakes his head no. "Aw are you never going to walk away." He dips his head yes.

"You know I always wanted a pet, but most animals are afraid of me and …well… I didn't do too well with my pet fish." He seems confused by the first statement and then a little bit put off by the last part of my statement.

"I want hurt you." He licks my face again. "Aw are you giving me happy wolf kisses." He dips his head yes.

"So Randy can I ride on your back." He first shakes his head no and then lies back down on the ground. "Okay that's fine." He then looks at me funny and then tilts his head to his back. "Can I ride?" he barks happily. "Oh I got your name wrong again." He nods his head yes. "Can I call you Russet then until I figure it out? I came up with Russet based on your color." He nodes his head yes and then I get on to his back. I run my fingers through his fur. I think he likes it. He begins walking leisurely toward the stream and then turns to follow it up stream.

"You know what I also like to do besides sitting there. I like to sketch and read." I look behind me and notice that his tail is wagging happily. "You know what I would like for you to do for me?" I ask. He stops walking and turns his head slightly. "I would like for you to run back to our spot and don't worry I won't fall off. I can handle it." He turns around then. I grip his fur just a little bit tighter. Once he felt secure that I was secure on top of him he took off. The wind rushed to my face and I felt exhilarated. I loved it. I hated for it to end but it did and he stopped were he roughly started. Russet went into a sitting position which allowed for me to slide down his back. "That was fun boy. We might have to do that again before I leave this evening." He turns and looks at me happily. Then his face became stern. "What is it?" I inquire. He turns his head towards the brook. "Are you thirsty?" he shakes his head no and then moves behind me. I feel his noise on my back gently pushing me to face the water. I walk towards the brook. I look into the water and I can see our reflection. "What am I looking for?" he touches my face with his nose and then looks into the water. "Yeah I can see myself." Then I look back at him. He takes his paw and gentle guides my face back to the reflection in the water. "I don't see anything." He barks once. "Okay I will keep looking. Then he looks back into the water. My eyes wonder over to his reflection. He is on my right. I can tell by the image that he is looking at my eyes in the water. He moves over just a little and then I hear a ripping noise. I'm a little afraid to turn my head and look but I also want to look. My eyes do not leave the water and I see my wolf change. Maybe this is why he wanted me to look into the water.

"Ren-es-me." my eye leaves the water and in front of me is a person. "My name is Jacob." I am speechless. "Nessie, close your mouth before bugs starts to fly in your mouth." I do as he says.

"Are you a werewolf?"

"Yes... well no, I'm a shape shifter to be exhact." He answers then the next thing I know I am wrapping my arms around him.

"You're warm."I commit with a slight hum. "You're like the wolf from my dreams."

"You can say that. Actually when you told me I realized that showing you that I am also human would not freak you out. I really didn't want to freak you out."

"Why did I have to look into the water." I finally release myself from hugging him. I don't like this separation.

"Because I didn't want you to see me naked," he smirks.

"Faire enough," I take another step back and look at him. He has on a pair of sweat pants and no shirt at all. My eyes begin to explore his chest, moving slowly up to his face. "Wait, why did you call me Nessie? How did you get that from Renesme?"

"Well I agree that your name is a mouthful but you look like a Nessie to me." I don't think he realized that I could hear him but then he said, "My Nessie." It sounded like he was kind of claiming me.

"I'm glad you're here today. I really want to talk to you about something,"

I feel nervous. "About what." I ask

"Can I hold your hand while we walk back to where we met?" I stick my hand out and he grabs its, lacing our fingers together. We start taking the short walk back to our spot.

"I would have guessed Jacob."

"Eventually." He pauses for a brief moment. "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

"Only in fairy tales."

"What if love at first sight was a true phenomenon in my world."

I consider it for a moment. "Werewolves fall in love at first sight?" I question more than state. "I guess it is possible. Who are you in love with." He stops abruptly.

"I know you are smarter than that."

"Me?" I'm skeptical. Werewolves don't like vampires, however I am only half. Maybe I should explore his world some.

"Yes." He says truthfully. We begin walking again. "My tribe… Well … in my tribe sometimes, when we come across someone they can become the center of our world. You have become the center of my world. Your gravity has captured me. I'm here to make you happy."

"How do you know that I am sad?"

"I mean, I'm here for you in general, whatever you need me to be. Considering our setting, I'm here to protect you first and for most. You shouldn't be wondering in the woods alone."

"I wonder these woods all the time and I do fine protecting myself and so does my family."

"I'm sure your right but you're not invincible."

We are back in the center of the clearing. I'm almost invincible.

"Well this love at first sight, this shift in gravity, we call it imprinting."

"Did you imprint on me?"

"Yes."

"Can I ask you a question?" he nodes his head yes. "Jacob, I was wondering if I would be able to see you again. I didn't like leaving you yesterday, I felt like I was leaving something behind."

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying here to get to know you."

"Why, where is your home? I don't want you living without a home. Of course I can't take you home yet. I don't know how my parents would react."

"I live on the Quileute reservation."

"I'm not familiar with that."

"It's by Forks Washington."

"What are you doing in Oregon?" I ask curiously.

"Oh, thanks for telling me, I didn't know where I was. My pack was asking me that. See some times I like to just go for a run and I don't always pay attention to where I am going."

"Oh, I like running and I get like that, but I don't think I have ever ran to another state before."

He sits down on the ground. I sit next to him.

"What is your favorite color?" he asks

"Midnight blue, I love looking at the stars at night and the sky. Are you hungry?"

"Not really, I had a deer earlier."

"Wow." We continue to talk. He would ask me a question and I would answer. Then I would ask him a question. When he asked me about my family I left out the fact they are vampires and when he asked my age I just told him eighteen because it was estimated age. He told me about his tribe and some of their legends. He even told me all the people in his pack. He said that I would have to meet them soon one day.
