We raced through the forest at top speed. It had just begone to rain, and the moister felt nice, splashing against my skin. We had only been running a half hour, when Alice had ordered us to stop. She was complaining that her clothes were all wet and insisted that we all put on our rain coats. I thought it was a good idea to. I didn't want Renesmee to be wet and chilly. So with that we stopped for a moment to change into some coats.
After that we began to run again. Renesmee kept her hand on my cheek the whole time, replaying the dream she had had earlier this afternoon during her nap. Then her dream filled mind changed course and focused on something else. Shock filled me at once when I realized what she was now longing for. Jacob. Sadly Jacob could not come with us on our trip. He had his duties back in La Push that could not be ignored. He had been very sad to part ways with Nessie, but there was no way Sam would let him leave. The sad thoughts in Renesmee's mind made the maternal instincts in me overpower everything else. I hugged her close to my chest. "I'll let you talk to him on the phone everyday." I promised her. She flashed a dazzling smile that I couldn't help but to return. After an hour and a half more of running, we reached the spot that was supposed to be where we were headed for. It was a small area up in the mountains, suitable for camping.

When we got to our destination, the men started to set up the tents immediately. While Bella and Renesmee were with the girls unpacking the needed luggage. The plan was to get the camp set up tonight and then go hunting. After the hunting was done, Esme wanted to have a campfire. Women.
I had the tent for Bella, Renesmee and I set up in a matter of moments. I went over to help Jasper who was having a hell of a time figuring out how to set up his tent. After we were all done, we left camp to scout out the area.
I took Renesmee on my back, and sprinted through the forest. It was still pouring the rain. Ugh! It always rained where ever we went! I tried to pick out scents of nearby prey. I stopped right outside of a small clearing. The others had separated from us. Renesmee leaped off my back and floated off into the clearing towards a herd of elk. I stayed back and observed. She was a graceful little monster. She took after me, always hunting with caution and precision. As I watched her strike the first elk, a sharp pang of pride filled my stomach. She was such a beautiful creature, in so many ways, just like her mother.
She easily brought down two elk. Reading her mind, I could tell she was satisfied and she was brimming with pride at her catch. I smiled. "Good Job!" I called to her from the other side of the field. She jumped into my arms. She then touched my cheek and showed my a vision of the camp. "Done already?" I asked her. She nodded. "Alright, the others will be back soon anyway." And with that we flew across the soil, back to camp.
