Chapter 3: Party-Night

That night, I didn't sleep at all. I was having the same nightmare over and over again.

I was walking through the woods at night. I recognized them as the woods around Charlie's house though the shadows were so dark. It was amazing that I could actually see through the shroud. As I was walking, the sun began to peak through the leaves and I thought I was reaching a clearing. I then saw a break through the trees, and I walked through. I came to this meadow and the sun came down like a curtain on the leaves and flowers around me. It was beautiful…

I then heard footsteps of another person behind me. I turned to see Irving, his eyes a bright burgundy, his shirt had spots of red, his body sparking in the light, and at his feet was… Caitlyn's drained body, her lips blue and her skin ghastly pale. I backed away from him in terror but he moved behind me before I could do anything. He spoke in my ear, in a velvet voice that I felt like I'd known my entire life.

"Don't go. We're just started having fun. The hunt is on, after all," he whispered as his hands wrapped around my waist and mouth reached for my throat...

That's where the screaming came in.

Charlie tripped on himself to see what was wrong. "Renesmee, are you alright?" he asked, his face pale from hearing my terrified scream.

"I'm fine Grandpa. It was… just a bad dream." I think I was telling that to myself more than anything else, trying to stop the pounding in my chest. I was frightened by the dream. It was so realistic. I looked toward the clock to see it was four in the morning. I groaned in annoyance.

"Alright," Charlie gave a relief sigh. "Well then, try and get back to sleep. You do have school tomorrow… today…" he groaned as well as he left my room.

And I really did try to go back to sleep, but I kept waking up in cold sweats. I was being foolish. Irving did not drink human blood anymore. I was scared but an unexplainable force drew me to him.

I briefly thought how mom felt when she first saw dad. I shook that thought out of my head quickly. I didn't believe in love at first sight. If that was true, Jacob and Leah would have never fallen in love because of his imprinting of me. I looked at the promise ring Jacob had given me years ago when he promised that he would always protect me and be there for me… even if he was just an Uncle.

Morning came without grace as I got up groggily and went through my morning routine. When I walked downstairs, I was surprised to see Leah at the table were Jake usually sat. "Aunt Leah…? Where's Jake?" She turned her head toward me, her beautiful face calm.

"He had some Alpha duties he had to take care of but he'll be there to pick you up after school," she said as Aiden entered from the living room.

"Damn, Nessie. You look like death froze over ya. You alright?" he questioned.

"I'm fine, Aiden. Just had a nightmare," I stated. I noticed that he was about to ask something else but I interrupted quickly. "Where's Keira?" I had noticed his sister was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh, she's with Sherry... Levi phased and went to the woods," he muttered. "Dad and the other pack are looking for him. For some reason, they can't hear his thoughts."

"So, does she...?" I said before he shook his head no.

"He only phased last night while we were over here. It must be hard being the first to phase and worse, he's not on the same frequency as either pack… which means he is possibly his own pack," he rationalized, brushing his chin in thought. "And it seems that Brody Markesan and Maxi are going to join him soon."

I was surprised. Maxi was Aiden's other cousin, his Aunt Rachel's child. "Maxi?" I asked in shock, but come to think of it. He was getting kinda tall...

"Okay, kids. Maybe we should get to school." Leah then marched us out to the car. As usual, we got there in record time. I got out the car and saw Caitlyn waving toward me. I casually walked over, her eyes wide in shock as she looked past me.

"Who's that woman that dropped you off?" she asked gesturing toward Leah as she gave her son a goodbye hug.

"That's my Aunt Leah. I told you, me and Aiden are cousins, remember? She's my mom's stepsister," I explain with a smile. I was used that by now.

"Wow… shouldn't she be on a runway in Paris rather than here in Forks?"

I chuckled, "I guess, but she and Jacob like it here." She looked to me confused.

"Who's Jacob?" she inquired.

"He's the guy who drops us off usually. He's Aiden's dad."

"Wow, no wonder. He is so handsome… Aiden must get it from him…" I heard her say under her breath.

"Let's get to Algebra, shall we?" she asked and so we head for class. "Excited about Friday?" she seemed to want to get off our previous conversation on our way.

"I guess so...'" I replied honestly. Physically, I've been sixteen for years, but I guess it was exciting that I was finally my physical age. "Yeah I am." I decided .You only turn sixteen once, right? Right…?

Algebra passed in a blur and we run to Anatomy to get away from the rain (I swear it was sunny a few minutes ago). I take my usual seat next to Irving as Caitlyn walked up to her and Aiden's table.

"Nice to see you, Cullen," his velvet voice seem to be make my heart to faster. I was surprised by his sudden pleasantness.

"Nice to see you too, Irving," I replied in a polite voice.

"Allen," he corrected with a small smile and I laughed.

"Nessie," I said and we shook hands.

"So... Nessie, what do you think of today's assignment?" he inquired and I sighed.

"Done it before," I muttered bored. Honestly, I could probably teach this class.

"The same for me," he agreed in the same bored tone and I couldn't help but ask.

"How many times have you been in high school?" He laughed a bell like laugh and I blushed. He was very handsome when he laughed. No, bad Nessie. You will not fall for a guy you just met!

"Nessie, please don't blush," he mumbled kindly. "Remember, I'm a vampire and your blood is very appealing. So don't test my self-control."

"Oh, okay," with that the blood receded from my face. I remember my dream and that just seemed to make things even more uncomfortable…

We sat in silence for the rest of the hour. And like usual, Allen left the class before anyone but not before he looked back to me with a half smile and said underneath his breath so that only I could hear, "I've been here too many times to count." He chuckled and left into the sea of other students.

Too many times to count, huh… I thought to myself as I uttered goodbye to the other two as they seemed in a deep conversation. So I then walked to English alone

I stepped into class, and I got out my copy of Gone with the Wind, the teacher's favorite book. I only read it a few times. I never got interested in romance since I have to put up with it every day with my parents. I briefly thanked god that Jake and Leah weren't as mushy-mushy as mom and dad.

Don't get me wrong. It's very sweet but having to deal with it every day… ugh. It almost makes me sick to my stomach.

But Jake and Leah are different. They were deeply in love but they aren't mushy and gooey. They laugh with each other, complement each other, and various other gestures that make me want the same kind of relationship. I wanted one that was real, not a fairytale romance.

I was so adsorbed in my thoughts that I didn't notice the teacher glare at me for not paying attention.

"Ms. Cullen, I am doing a very important lecture, so do please get your head out of the clouds," Mrs. Finney scolded.

"Sorry, Mrs. Finney," I apologized, looking into my book embarrassedly.

Eventually English ended and I met up with Keira how was sitting next to a distraught Sherry.

"Shh... It's okay Sherry. The men are looking for him. I bet he'll be at your house by school ends." Her voice was smooth and calm as she said this. Then she noticed me, "Hey, Nessie. I'll be right there, okay?"

I nodded and went off to the side. A few minutes later, she was beside me. "I almost told her about Levi phasing. She looks terrible. I told her she could sit with us okay?"

"Sure. I hope he's okay though."

"Ness even if he got hurt, he'd heal," she reminded me. One of the things Aiden loved to tease me about was that I was a worrywart.

"I know but..." I said before she shushed me as Nathan walked up to us.

"Hi, ladies," he said his usual cocky grin on his face was gone. "How is she?" he asked referring to Sherry.

"She's not good at all," I said.

"Is it true that he has a drug problem?" he then asked.

"What...!? No! Where'd you hear that?" I demanded.

"From that Brier girl. She's been going around the school saying that he has a coke addiction."

"Oh, just tell them that it's not true. He might be an asshole, but he's not a junky," Keira grumbled as we walk to art.

I was starting to dislike this Brier girl. I remember a few days ago she tried to flirt with Aiden while he completely ignored her. It was hilarious. Maybe that's why she's been bitter to anyone related to him…

Art passed by quickly enough, so we headed to lunch. As we enter I look around the lunchroom but I don't see Levi anywhere. "Wow, he really isn't here…"

We get our lunch and Keira went to drag Sherry over here to us. I wonder if there was something I could do to cheer her up? That's when I figured out a good idea.

"Hey, Sherry, I'm having a sleep over for my birthday. Want to come?" She looked up at me confused. "It will help you calm down about Levi. I say he's going alright. You'd be surprised with what those Quileute boys can take," I stated in a kind, confident voice.

"Thank you, Ness. That's nice of you," she smiled; though it was small, it was something. Wow, she really loved the guy. He'd better imprint on her, or I swear, I will tell her myself.

"No problem." I replied. She then began looking toward where Levi sat for the rest of the hour. She did seem better but the gloom and sadness seemed to still linger in her eyes.

After lunch, Aiden and I were walking to gym when his phone rang.

"Hello?" he said and paused for a few seconds and nodded. "Humph... yeah, okay. See ya dad," and with that, he hung up the phone. "They found his scent. He might not be able to pick us up later. They have to calm him down enough so he can change back." I nodded.

"Oh… okay… I hope he's alright," I muttered and he looked surprised at what I said.

"Levi Uley...? Levi 'the asshole' Uley?" he questioned.

"Yeah, he might be a jerk, but he must be a reasonably nice guy deep down." At least enough that Sherry sees something in him…

"O… kay...?" he said and we walked into the gym.

Gym, as usual, proved to be humiliating. I tripped a record twenty times while trying to hit the tennis-ball. Aiden however managed to score the winning shot for our team. My team also figured out, the first time we played tennis, to keep me away from the ball as much as possible.

When we got out of Gym it was pouring down the rain, but I wasn't surprised. It was Forks after all. "Man, I'll have to walk to history. It's all the way cross campus," I groaned.

"Just go vampire speed then," he suggested. I looked at him in panic.

"Aiden, you know what happened the last time I did that, right?"

"Oh, yeah. You nearly sent yourself flying into a tree. It was hilarious!" he laughed and I slapped his arm as hard as I could.

"Aiden, stop picking on me!" I yelled and he laughed even harder putting his arm around my shoulder.

"Ness, if I didn't care about you, I wouldn't tease you," he said as he began walking to his class. "See ya, Ness." And he ran off to his class. I sighed and eventually find Keira halfway to seventh hour.

"Hey, Keira. Sherry any better?" I asked and she shook her head sadly.

"Not really," she murmured as we entered the classroom. It passed quickly and we went to the parking lot and to find Leah waiting for us.

"They found Levi but he still hasn't calmed down much," she updated us as we got into the car. "So… enjoy school?" I always looked up to Leah; not only was she beautiful but she was independent and headstrong, too. She reminded me of my mother in that way sometimes…

"It was good. Sherry is worried about Levi though," Keira spoke up eventually. "I almost told her that Levi phased."

"I understand how you feel. You want her to have closure if he broke her heart like Sam broke mine but you can't. It's an Alpha rule," she said

"I know but it would hurt her. She is not the type to bounce back from something like this," I said. I never really got to know Sherry beyond talking to her occasionally but it was obvious that she had ties to her emotions that if one thing snapped, she might snap too.

Eventually, we were in La Push, since Charlie was visiting Billy to go fishing and Aunt Sue was at their house probably cooking something delicious.

"Hey, Ness, I have something to show you!" Aiden yelled and dragged me to the garage outside Billy's house. "Remember that motorbike Dad gave me on my birthday?" he asked.

"You mean that old black one… the one that hasn't run in years?" I questioned.

"Yep. Dad's been helping me fix it up and it's almost done."

I noticed what he said was true. The preverbal scrap pile that was the motorcycle was now in a recognizable form. "Wow Aiden, that's neat." I exclaimed, hardly surprised. Aiden had always had an interest in these things (not only that, but had the free time to do such things).

"Thank you," he said smugly.

I shook my head at the fifteen-year-old. He looked to me with a quizzed expression and asked, "What?"

"Nothing, I just think you're going a bit over board with this."

"What?!" he nearly exclaimed. "You're crazy! This is my baby, and she needs to be fixed…" he said rubbing the handlebars of the bike.

I couldn't help but laugh and though he did look a bit upset with me, he laughed too. We talked for a bit longer as he worked more on the motorbike until we heard Jake yell for us.

"Ness, Aiden! Dinner!" We quickly packed up and headed toward Billy's house.

Dinner was nice and people were laughing. I was surprised to see Uncle Seth and his wife Liz. I briefly wondered where their son was until the hyperactive six-year-old launched onto me.

"Ness!" he cried as he hugged me as tightly as possible.

"Hey, Harry," I said as I kissed his forehead and hugged him back. I also noticed Claire in the corner talking to Quil. I went up to them as their conversation ended and then Claire rushed up to me when she noticed me coming.

"Oh, hey Ness, how are you?"

"Fine… I'm guessing they found Levi?"

"Yeah. He's sleeping now. Running in the woods took it out of him," she said, her voice concerned.

"Will he be at school tomorrow?" I asked.

"No. Sam told the school he's got the flu and won't be able to go for a week," she provided helpfully.

"What were you and Quil talking about?" I asked, thinking it was about the situation. She blushed.

"Well... that's between me and Quil," she muttered.

"Oh... kay?" I said and changed the subject.

The night was a lot of fun. Later in the evening, Levi and Abigail walked in. Levi had bags under his eyes and looked kinda pale. "Hey Levi, how are you?" I asked as nicely as possible.

"What do you think, Cullen?" he asked coldly, his voice hoarse and scratchy. Abigail gave him a withering look and he sighed. "Not that well… Renesmee. Every part of my body feels like it's on fire."

"Oh, sorry to hear that Levi..." I said and hesitated. "You should contact Sherry. She was real worried at school today." He hit his forehead and groaned.

"Great… I hate worrying her…" he muttered.

"Hey, Levi, I have an idea. She's probably at home… maybe you should go see her." I grabbed his hand, slightly surprised to feel the heat from his skin, and tugged him along. I nodded toward Jake, who seemed to be in a conversation with Embry. He gave a shrug and continued his conversation. That was the okay.

I dragged him for a while till we are outside Sherry's house. I walked up to the door and knocked till Mrs. Tate opened the door.

"Oh Renesmee, Levi what are you doing here?" she asked as Sherry looked out behind her.

"Levi?" she asked and Levi gave her a rare smile. She then rushed out the door and into his arms and he kissed her forehead. I noticed that look he gave her. It was the same look that Sam gave Emily and I smiled and gave a mental, "Yes!"

I decided to leave them. If I was right, Sherry was going to be very mad and confused in a few minutes. As I walked backed I noticed a chocolate brown wolf hiding in a bush.

"You can come on out, Quil. I'm sure he will be okay." I stated. He ran into a bush and soon out stepped a very muscular man wearing only a pair of shorts. "Do you werewolves ever wear a shirt?" I asked rhetorically and he chuckles.

"Claire's been teaching you sarcasm, hasn't she?" he asked.

"Nope. I'm just naturally sarcastic from my mother's side," I replied with a grin.

"Yeah, sure, kiddo. Let's head back before Jake sends a search party." I sighed in agreement. That would be exactly what he would do. Honestly, he was almost as overprotective of me as mom and dad are. Though I guess it was because I was his imprint.

After we returned, the party was winding down and Charlie, Sue and I walked to his cruiser and went home. I went to bed after a quick shower and fell asleep.

The next day seemed to fly by. Aiden acted like an idiot, his sister would shake her head with a sigh, Caitlyn giggled, and I would just smile. In the background, I could also tell that Allen was watching, probably gathering information just as much as I would. We had our usual small conversation, but that wasn't enough sometimes I guess…

As I woke up on Friday and realized that it was my birthday. School was the same, nothing out of the ordinary. As I was getting out of Jakes car, I was surprised to see a silver Volvo but I knew exactly who it could be. I ran into the house and into the arms of my dad.

"Happy birthday, Nessie!" he said as a tear scrolled down my face.

I felt my mom there too. Her hand stroked my hair and she said, "We're so happy to see you!" she then wrapped herself around me and my dad as well.

"Me too," I sniveled. "Thanks for coming," I then muttered happily.
