Chapter 3

That night, I had a dream. I saw him in the forest, beckoning me to go towards him. I couldn't get any closer to him. Someone was pulling me back. I yelled out to him but he just smiled at me. I woke up and felt a cool hand on my face. I gasped. Two sets of golden eyes stared at me. Alice and Rosalie were sitting on my bed.

"Good morning, Nessie!" Rosalie sang as she gave me a hug.

"You almost gave me a heart attack!" cried Alice.

"Alice saw a vampire with you in the forest, she dragged me here this morning to make sure you were still alive." Rosalie explained, rolling her eyes at Alice.

"I wasn't in the forest, Alice, and I didn't meet any vampire" I lied quickly.

"You see, Alice? I told you it was false vision again. You always get those with Nessie." said Rosalie. Alice frowned.

I felt guilty for lying. I have never lied to them before, why did I just lie?

"Well, it's a good thing Jacob is always with you. You really should let him enrol at your school." Said Alice.

" No. I want to be normal! Having a 7-foot-tall werewolf shadowing my every move is not exactly the life of a typical teenage girl."

I sighed. I miss Jacob, but sometimes, he could get a little overwhelming. He couldn't understand why none of his pack's imprint girlfriends have the same need for independence and space. Carlisle thinks it might be because Jacob was only able to imprint on my human half but not my vampire half.

"Well, I better get ready for school" I announced to my two vampire aunts as I got off my bed.

"Have a good day, Nessie!" said Rosalie and she kissed the top of my head. Alice was still frowning a little. She gave me a quick hug and reminded me to call my mom and dad.

The day started slowly but then the hours passed quickly while I was at school. I was going to meet Jacob after school today. I was looking forward to it. I got home quickly and parked my car on the driveway. Grandpa wasn't home yet. His police cruiser was nowhere in sight. That means I get to have some alone time with Jacob. I couldn't help but smile at the prospect. Something flashed by me and I gasped.

"What's for dinner, Nessie?"

He was standing on the porch with a wicked smile on his face. He was tall, slim and even more beautiful than I remember from our last encounter. His blond hair reminds me of Carlisle. Only he styled it differently, shorter and spikier.

"It's Renesmee. You know my name and I don't know yours. That hardly seems fair." I said to him.

He walked down the steps and began circling around me slowly, like a shark.

"Does that mean you want to be friends?" He asked.

"Name?" I insisted. He seemed amused by my persistence.

"I am Wes, it is a pleasure to meet you" He bowed slightly and reached out to take my hand. I jerked away quickly.

"I said I wouldn't hurt you." He reminded me.

"No, I am not scared of you. I just…" I just don't want you to think I am a freak. I thought to myself.

"What is it?" He asked.

"You wouldn't understand". I sighed, remembering what Jacob said to me. I suddenly felt an urge to prove Jacob wrong.

"Nothing is ever that complicated." He said in his velvety voice. I took in a deep breath.

" Let me show you." I reach out and placed my hand on his cool, marble face. In my head, I replayed the memory of the last time we met in the forest. He gasped.

"What…How are you doing that?" He took my hand off his face slowly and looked curiously into my eyes. My face felt warm. I quickly looked down at the ground.

"I am sorry," he said, letting go of my hand. " I am making you uncomfortable." He took a step away from me.

"Wait!" I said. I was afraid that he was going to disappear again. Out of nowhere, Jacob jumped out in his wolf form, growling violently at Wes.

"Stop it, Jake! He is a friend " I screamed at Jacob.

"You know this wolf?" Wes asked with one eyebrow raised. Jacob was still growling. His hair on his back was standing straight up.

"Maybe you should go, Wes" I said quickly.

"Sure…Interesting pet you have."

Jacob lunged forward but Wesley had already disappeared.
