Chapter 6

We stared at each other for a time. He hadn't changed of course, but the way he looked to me had. There had only been one pair of eyes that could paralyze me like this. I didn't feel the same. I felt …different. My heart was fine, my stomach wasn't in a knot, but he did have an effect on me.

"Hello Renesmee. I'm glad you remember me, I hoped you would."

" Of course I would." I smiled at him. "How could I not?" His voice was soft and warm if a voice could be that. He had a light accent that normal ears would have a hard time detecting. For me it made his voice more compelling.

"For that I'm very glad. I hope you don't mind me being here. I don't want to be a party crasher, but when Kachiri told me they would be coming" he shrugged. "I wanted to come say happy birthday." He then laughed awkwardly. The sound was enchanting.

I realized he still held my hand. I pulled it away and blushed. "Thank you. You didn't have to come all this way. They could have told me you said happy birthday."

"Well that wouldn't have been very gentlemanly of me, and I wanted to give your present to you myself." He put his hand in his pants pocket and pulled out something. Nahuel raised his hand up to show me a sliver necklace that held a small but beautiful heart shaped pink sapphire.

"Its beautiful Nahuel." I said in shock. He undid the chain and raised it to me.

"May I?"

"Um yea sure." I turned around and pulled my hair out of the way so he could place it on my neck. He brought his hand around me and put it on, his fingers brushing against my skin when he did.

I turned back to him. " Ahh, I don't think I've ever seen anything so exquisite in all my life." He murmured.

"Yes, its very pretty and very generous of you." I looked at the pendent that hung from my neck, before looking back into the warm teak eyes that had claimed all my attention.

"Excuse me my dear Renesmee but I wasn't referring to the necklace. Its very nice, but compared to your beauty it is utterly plain." He looked deep into my eyes as a blush colored my face. "Lovely." He whispered.

"Ness?" A husky voice called.

I looked up to find Jacob looking between Nahuel and me with narrowed eyes. I didn't know how long he had been standing there. How strange.

"Hey Jake. This is Nahuel. Nahuel this is my best friend Jacob." I gestured to Jake and his eyes narrowed further when I called him my best friend.

"How do you do?" Nahuel raised his hand to Jake to shake but Jacob just looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Uh huh." He looked back to me. " Nessie can I talk to you?"

"Of course you can. Nahuel, excuse me."

" I will wait with anticipation till then." He smiled at me and bowed his head again before walking off. I stared after him. He was such a gentleman.

"Nessie?" I looked back to Jacob. " I wanted to talk to you remember?" It was strange, but Jake almost looked mad.

"Yes I remember. What do you want to talk about?"

"Nessie, can you come here?" My mother called me from a few feet away.

I nodded. " Can we talk later Jake?" I wanted to talk to him but not with a dozen or so super ears around. Plus if he wanted to talk to me about us I wanted it to be just us. Right now there was music playing and people dancing, eating, and talking.

" Sure, sure go ahead." He said in a patronizing voice.

I walked to my mother, where she was standing with my father. He was looking at me smiling like he hadn't heard any thing.

"Yes?" I asked once I got to them. My mother handed me an envelope with my name on it. " What is this?"

"I had a friend get this for me. Happy birthday." She said smiling. " Open it." I broke the seal on it and pulled out a plastic card with information and my picture on it.

"What's this?" I asked.

"A drivers license of course." My mother stated.

" I know that. Why are you giving me one?"

" She's giving you that, because I couldn't give you this without it." My dad gave me a small box to open. I opened it and a smile broke across my face as I realized what was happing. I stared down at a long sliver key

I looked back to my parents. "You're getting me a car?" I was shocked. A car meant freedom; I could go and see more of forks. I didn't have to hide any more.

My mother smiled. "No we got you a car. It's out side."

I jumped at them hugging them both. "I can't believe this. Thank you."

My dad laughed. " I heard it was customary to get the first car when you turn sixteen."

" Can I go see it?" I asked jumping up and down. It would be fun to drive I loved to run, but I loved the idea of a new way to travel too.

"Of course, its your car." He replied. I smiled and ran towards the door.

In my excitement I snatched the door from its hinges. Oops.

My father came to my side quickly. I looked back to see if anyone noticed and saw grandpa Charlie murmuring, shaking his head and rubbing his temples. Sue was comforting him and patting his back. Everyone else was laughing. I should've realized that I was being watched. Everyone was trying to see my new car too.

"Go ahead I got it." Daddy said chuckling. Uncle Emmett came with a screwdriver in hand.

I ran out and stopped. "Its beautiful."

It was a new white Porsche Cayenne. I remembered admiring it one day Jake and me were looking through a magazine. This car wasn't even supposed to be out yet. It had to be a hundred and fifty thousand even without the bells and whistles, and with my dad involved there were defiantly bells and whistles. It had a big red bow on the hood.

I looked back to see my dad and mom standing not to far behind me, everyone else was scattered around the porch I saw Jacob leaning against one of the columns of the house.

"Can I go for a ride?" I still held the key in my hand.

"Sure" My mother said. I started to walk toward it but stopped again when something occurred to me. I turned back to my parents.

"Um, mom I don't know how to drive." Although I had a license I hadn't got it the right way. I didn't even remember taking the picture that was shown on it.

I heard more laughs before my father spoke. "I would be happy to show you." He started to walk toward me and my mom stopped him placing a hand on his chest.

"Sorry love. This one is mine. You drive entirely to fast." She laughed and walked to me. "Lets go."

I walked to the driver's side and got in. It had black leather interior, and was fully loaded with GPS and everything. My mom got in on the other side not bothering with buckling the seat belt. I would feel horrible if I wrecked this car. It was my baby now. I looked to my mother about to panic.

"Ok what do I do?" I asked. I was lost.

She giggled. "You start by starting the car honey, and put on your seat belt." I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Just to be safe." I shook my head and did as she said. After I was buckled in I put the key in and turned. It purred to life.

"Now what?"

"Put it into drive." She instructed. I tried but it wouldn't move. I should've paid attention more when I was in the car with Jake or my parents. As much as I loved cars I had never really thought about driving one, which was kind of funny. Then again I was only six.

"It won't move." I said frustrated.

"Put your foot on the break first then try." She said. I tried again and was successful. "Now take your foot off the break and put it on the gas. Don't push too-" she hadn't spoke soon enough and I zoomed forward going down the drive. I didn't want to wait any longer.

"How am I doing?" I asked.

She laughed at my jittery expression. "Your doing fine. I think you should slow down some though. You're just getting started." I frowned and she laughed again. "You have the same addiction to speed as Edward."

This driving thing was pretty easy. It was dark outside but I could see everything. I was getting close to the end of the drive and was planning on turning back. I still had a party to attend to. This was my car now it would be here. Now I could go to see Jake whenever I wanted.

"Mom, is there something wrong with Jake? He looked upset or something." I still was lost at why Jake would be mad about anything. I rarely saw him upset at all, especially around me.

"Whatever it is, you can talk to him about it yourself when we get back." She said looking sort of uncomfortable. "Go a head and turn around."

"Is it cause I told him I loved him?" she looked at me then.

"He didn't say anything to me. He was talking to Edward, actually." I turned the car around and speed back up the drive to the house. I wanted to know what was wrong. "Nessie." She said eyeing the speed odometer. I slowed some, and my mother sighed.

When I got back to the front of the house Jacob and dad were standing on the porch. Everyone else had gone into the house. Instead of parking in front again, I went to the garage and parked. I pushed a little to hard on the break and was slung forward, and then crashed back into my seat. I looked at my mom with apologetic eyes and smiled. "Sorry. Still learning."

We got out the car and my mother grabbed my hand as we walked back to the house.

"I see you had fun." My dad said laughing.

"I had so much fun. It was great daddy. It goes so fast." I ran and gave him another hug.

Jacob didn't have the same face as before. He was open again; he looked like my Jacob again. "Maybe now you can beat me in a race. Since you run so slow." He laughed.

"Hay I do fine when you have just two legs. Everyone can't morph into a speed demon." I smiled back at him. My parents started to go into the house, and I started to follow.

"Nessie?" I looked back at Jacob. "Can we talk?"

Hmm. I didn't want to talk about it right now. Plus if he told me he didn't feel the same I would break down at the party, and that's not something I really wanted to do.

"Um, yea, but later ok. Come dance with me first." I had to put it off till the party was over.

"Nessie I'm not that good a dancer." He said frowning.

I smiled and came back to where he had been standing at the end of the porch stairs. "It's easy I'll show you." I grabbed his hand and dragged him into the house.

Aunt Rmose and grandpa Carlisle were dancing to a slow song along with other people scattered around. The middle of the Grand room had been cleared to make room for a dance floor. I could tell that everyone was trying to keep a safe distance away from the other. I hoped it was just because of the smell that wolves and vampires always talked about. The floor looked like it was almost segregated. I pulled Jake to the middle between the new treaty lines that had formed in the house unexpectedly. When I turned to him he looked at me with narrowed eyes.

"What?" I asked hoping he didn't realize what I was trying to do.

"Really ness. I can't dance that well. I might step on your feet." He looked worried. He knew he couldn't hurt me, well in the physical since anyway.

I smiled at him again. "Please." He continued to stare. "Please Jake? For the birthday girl?" I laughed when he rolled his eyes and came to place his big warm hands on my waist. I placed my hands around his neck, thankful that Alice had got me high heels. Jacob still towered over me and I looked up at him.

"See, you're not so bad. All that worrying for nothing."

He smiled at me." Don't talk to soon, we just got started."

Again my body started to react to his eyes. My heart raced and my stomach flipped. It was only made worse since his body was so close to mine. I could feel the heat coming off of him. We continued to turn and sway.

"So who invited him?" He said jerking his chin to the back of the room where Nahuel stood talking to Senna and Kachiri.

"No one actually, but he heard it was my birthday and came." I was still surprised that he had. I hadn't seen Nahuel since that day the Volturi came. Not even on our summer visits to the Amazon.

"Hmm a vampire party crasher. How nice." Jake said with a hard laugh.

"He's only half vampire. Like me remember?" I smiled at Jake. It was nice to think there was another person like me around. It was refreshing.

Jake's eyes narrowed. "Yea I remember. So that means it's ok if he crashes?"

"Well no, but I'm grateful he came. It was a long way. He didn't have to. He brought a present and everything. That was really nice."

"He got you something?" He stopped moving and looked down at me.

"Yea. This necklace." I looked down at it as I spoke. It hung just below my locket. "Isn't it pretty?"

"Yea it's nice." Jacob looked back at me after staring at the necklace. "Nessie, you know if you want him to leave you can tell me. I'll make sure he leaves. You don't have to be nice."

" No!" I was shocked he would think that. "No Jake, its fine. You act like you've never crashed a party before." I said laughing. We started back dancing. Jacob was an ok dancer; he hadn't stepped on my feet yet anyway.

"Nope." I narrowed my eyes at him. " I haven't." Jake argued.

"That's not what mommy says. She said you crashed her graduation party." I laughed as realization occurred to him.

"That doesn't count she did invite me, and never uninvited me. We just got into..." He thought of the right words "a situation."

"Uh huh. You kissed her and she didn't want you to. You mean that situation?" It was easy to act nonchalant now, but it did hurt that she had kissed him. I wished I had that opportunity.

" Um yea, that." Jake looked uncomfortable. "So do you still need driving lesson's?"

"Nope not really." I said confident. He raised an eyebrow. "Ok maybe a little help."

Jake shrugged. "Well I can help if you want. I wouldn't what you messing up a sweet ride like that. Plus I think its illegal for six year olds to drive alone."

I grimaced internally. I hoped he didn't really see me that way. "What are you going to do, put me in a car sit in my own car?" I laughed. Suddenly Jacob stiffened. "Jake?"

"May I cut in?" a warm voice asked. I looked behind me to find Nahuel smiling and looking at Jacob.

"That's up to her." Jacob said in a cold voice.

I looked between them both for a second. "Um you don't mind do you Jake?"

He shook his head and backed away from me. "Sure, sure go ahead." He turned and walked away.

Nahuel took my hand firmly and put another on my waist as a new song began. We started to turn slowly but picked up speed as we waltzed. Everyone stared to move out of our way as we over took the dance floor twirling and spinning. It was so simple to dance with him. I didn't have to think I just followed his lead and glided across the floor. I never took my eyes off of his; it was like we went into another place. His smile grew as blush came to my face. He spun me and dipped me at the end of the song. Everyone started to applaud. My blush grew once I saw that every one had stopped to look at us dance. He brought me back up and bowed to me. I laughed and curtseyed back.

"You are a very good dancer." Nahuel said.

"Thank you. It was a lot of fun."

"Then we should do it again some time." He smiled at me and kissed my hand for the second time tonight.

"Sure." I started to walk to the food table once everyone came back to the floor. Nahuel followed. " So where did you learn to dance like that?"

"Old movies, I have learned a lot over time." He said laughing, " I was mostly following you though."

I stared at him. " You couldn't have I was following you."

His smile grew. " Well I guess we just move very well together."

I laughed, " I guess so." I got some punch. " See anything you like?" I said pointing to the table that held all the food along with my cake. I didn't like much human food but when I did it was mostly junk.

He glanced at the table then back at me. "No not really. Well nothing on the table at least." He smiled at me looking deep into my eyes. Was he flirting with me?

"Oh me too. I mean I don't want any of the food." I started to blush. Why do I keep putting my foot in my mouth? " If I eat human food it has to have sugar for me to really like it." I said laughing.

"Really? Me too, its better than chicken. I hate chicken, or anything that taste like chicken. So I hate a lot of meats." We both laughed.

"Well we have cake. I really wish I could go ahead and cut it. It looks good."

Nahuel looked at me for a short second. What did I say? He then looked over his shoulder and all around. For the first time to night I wasn't being stared at. Well not by everyone.

Nahuel then grabbed a fork off the table and scooped some cake from the bottom layer. He then offered it to, I giggled and ate it. I was right it did taste delicious.

He chuckled. "How is it? Good?"

"Mmm hmm." I said swallowing. "Very good."

He ate the rest off the fork getting a little icing on his face.

I giggled again and he looked at me questioningly. "You have some icing on you face." He wiped the wrong side of his mouth. "Nope its on-Here." I reached over to whip the icing off his smooth rich skin. He was so warm.

He smiled at me. The contrast of the color of his skin to his teeth was brilliant.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome." I thought the way he looked at me made me think of how Jacob looked at me sometimes. " Umm, it must be hard to be away from home? Away from your aunt?" I remembered that she had been with him last time he had come.

"Yes, but she wanted to stay with my sister's. She didn't feel comfortable leaving them. She's more of our mother than an aunt." He talked about Huilen with such love in his voice.

"I thought your sisters were with your father. Did the Volturi.." I trailed off not wanting to upset him.

"No, they just grew tired of his ways. They felt to much compassion for humans, which is something my father lacks." He frowned so I changed the subject.

"Have you talked to Carlisle since you got here?"

"Yes, I have actually. I asked him if I could stay for a while." I stared at him with my mouth opened "Is there something the matter?"

"Your Staying?' I started to smile; I would have someone to talk to that was like me. I wonder did he feel like the odd one out too?

"Yes for a while. Is that ok?" His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Of course Nahuel I could show you the forest. I mean if you want to. There are so many things I want to talk to you about." I sighed. " You're the only other person like me that I know."

He smiled then." I have all the time in the world Renesmee."

We went to sit on the couch, and talk some more. It was so easy to talk to him. He told me of his home, how he traveled with his aunt and sisters. He told me he got to his father before the Voulturi and told him what happened, that's when his sisters came with him and huilen. He warned him of what was coming, he hadn't seen his father in two years. Nahuel also told me of the way he came across the necklace I wore.

"You found this stone?" I asked shocked that anything so beautiful could just be in a rock.

"Yes. I was exploring a mine about 50 years ago and came across it. It was stuck in the rock and when I got it out, it looked so unique. I had seen heart shaped gems, but it hadn't been cut, human hands have never touched it. It was a unpolished beauty" He looked at the necklace while talking then looked back into my eyes. "I had never seen anything so special and beautiful. Until tonight that is." He smiled at me then.

"Why did you give it to me?"

"Well it was so special that I thought it could only go to a special person. I think it has found the perfect home."

"Thank you for coming Nahuel you have made tonight very special." I took his hand to let him feel my gratitude.

"The pleasure was all mine Renesmee." He held on to my hand as we smiled at each other. He then looked out the back window. "Can I show you something?"

"What is it?" My eyes narrowed and his smile widen.

"Come outside with me." He didn't wait for me to answer he got up pulling me with him. We went out the back doors, as we passed I saw my parents staring after us. Along with Jacob, and a couple of others. We walked all the way to the river before we stopped.

"What are we-" He put up one finger signaling me to wait. Nahuel stared in to the forest at the other side of the river. After a few seconds his smile returned and he looked at me.

"I want you to meet a friend of mine." Nahuel raised his arm as if to touch the trees across the river. All of a sudden a red bird came into view. It spiraled in the air before coming to land on his out stretched arm.

"This is Noel. She has been my friend for a century give or take." The bird dipped its head as if it understood as I stared open mouthed. It was the most exquisite bird I had ever seen.

"What kind of bird is that?" I had never seen anything like it. Its feathers looked like silk, it looked so majestic.

"A phoenix. The last of its kind." He patted the bird on the head as he smiled.

"Did you say a phoenix? But I thought they weren't real. I mean..." I stared in wonder at the beauty of it.

Nahuel laughed softly. "Vampires and werewolves aren't supposed to be real either. Yet here we stand, look at your friends inside. Is it so hard to believe?"

I started to reach towards the bird but stopped. " Can I- Is it ok if I touch her?"

He looked at the bird then back at me. "Go ahead." I walked forward slowly. Noel was about the size of a cockatoo maybe a little bigger. Her feathers had a slit shade of orange to them at the end. Now I could see why they called the phoenix a bird of fire.

I laid my hand on its back to pet her. She was so soft and hot to the touch.

Nahuel smiled at me. " Here." He then stepped back and Noel flew to my arm that I had pet here with. She was light as a feather. Noel nuzzled against me. " She likes you." Nahuel said looking at Noel.

I smiled. "She does? How do you know?"

He shrugged "She told me, she has powers."

"Really? " I rethought over what he just said. "Wait. What do you mean she has powers? What kind of powers?"

"She can let you see what she sees. Like what you do, but she doesn't have to touch, and she can fly very, very fast."

" So me and you are a lot alike aren't we Noel?" I smiled and she nuzzled against me again. "How fast can she fly?" I asked interested. I had seen fast, my father was the fastest in my family. Jacob and him raced all the time, Jake was getting better, but my daddy still couldn't be beat.

"Quit fast actually, and it's very pretty…" He trailed off thinking. " Well, how about she shows you. Its better if you see it for yourself." He nodded to Noel and she flew off my arm. She went into the air with such grace. I watched as she flew in the air in a circle above our head. Nahuel came closer to me as we watched; he placed his hand on my back. "Watch this. I promise you- you've never seen anything like this." He whispered as I watched Noel fly.

She made one more circle before starting to get brighter until she was like a red beckon in the sky. Her feathers glowed. She then took off at the speed of light. I stared as she flew above. She was beautiful.

"Amazing." I whispered in amazement.

She flew so fast, you could no longer see a bird she looked like a shooting star that glowed red instead of white and didn't know where to land and refused to. I started to laugh and I noticed that my laughter had drawn people outside. I looked back to see people outside and some looking out the windows as Noel flew in the sky; it was truly a sight to see. She started to slow down and went in a spiral towards the earth before straitening and landing back on Nahuel's out stretched arm. Everyone started to applaud her, and in answer she spread her wings and bowed. I laughed harder. Noel wasn't a bird; she was more like an angel.

"Show off" Nahuel said to her laughing. "She seems to be craving attention tonight."

I looked back at my family I could see my grandpa Charlie in the window with his jaw dropped. "I think my grandfather is going to have a heart attack." I murmured pointing in his direction. As I watched him my mother came to his side and whispered in his ear. I guess trying to calm him. Once she was done, she scowled back at me. Oops. I smiled back apologetically. I didn't know she was going to do that.

"Sorry, I didn't know." Nahuel said. Looking at my mother and then me.

"No I think his fine. It's just a lot for him to take in sometimes." I laughed thinking of the way he looked at me earlier when I messed up the door. "He's a strong and brave man." I said shaking my head.

"Noel, maybe you should go rest. Enough of the shows for tonight." He said to her. Noel's eyes went to my face and then to him. " You can see her later. She has a party to get to." He smiled at me.

"Goodbye for now Noel." She bowed to me and I curtsied back laughing. I pet her on her head before she flew into the forest. I looked back a Nahuel. "She's wonderful. Your very lucky to have her as a friend."

"Yes, but she picked me. She could have left long ago, but she's still with me after a hundred years. She is a very good friend. Shall we?" He said gesturing to the house. We walked back into the house everyone else was back inside. My father came to me from across the room. I was worried at first that he might be mad, but he had a smile on his face like always.

"Hello Nahuel. Its nice to see you again." He looked at me. "My I borrow my daughter? The party is almost over and she has yet to dance with her father." He said smiling.

"Of course sir." Nahuel said. It was kind of funny. My dad looked younger and was younger than Nahuel. I could tell his was trying to show him respect by calling him sir.

My daddy offered his hand to me and I took it. We walked out to the dance floor and dance slowly. Not as slow as Jacob and it, but me wasn't the waltz either. I looked around as we danced. I was having a lot of fun. All this had been for me, I felt like I was being spoiled.

" No, I don't think so." My father argued. " You're loved, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Daddy this is my third party this year. This is my real birthday, but I didn't have to have those others." Many people didn't have a loving family like me, or the things I have. I have more clothes then I have space for because of aunt Alice.

"Well being spoiled isn't so bad." He conceded. "If you do it right. Your nowhere near as vain as rose. Your a lot like your mother." He said chuckling.

"Thank you daddy. For everything." I hugged him. I wonder why he didn't tell me about Nahuel being here.

"Well I wasn't sure if you would remember, and I didn't think you would care much I guess." His eyes narrowed slightly when he looked in Nahuel's direction.

"Of course I would. I mean his like me. Its nice to talk to some one like me." I smiled at the thought.

" Nessie, you are like no one else in the world. No matter what your parents are."

"Thanks a lot" I said rolling my eyes. Wow I'm a freak naturally no changing that. I guess there was no way to fit in with anyone.

He laughed." You know that's not what I meant."

I looked over to see Sam and Emily dancing. Sam had his hand on Emily's belly; she was 8 months now. The way they looked at each other with so much love and devotion was incredibly romantic. Jacob told me of how Sam imprinted on her; how easy there love came, how happy they were now. I wished it could be that easy with Jacob, I wished he could imprint on me. That it could be as simple as breathing. I looked at my father and he had a small smile on his face, but I could tell that it bothered him still.

Can you please tell me what is wrong with Jake?

He looked at me with narrowed eyes and shook his head.

I sighed. Please? I just want to know that it's not my fault.

He sighed and looked behind me. I turned around to find Jake staring intently at Nahuel from across the room. What was that about? He hadn't done anything I could think of, but talk to me all night. I looked back at my father. Why?

He smiled this time as he shook his head.

"Come cut the cake Nessie. Or do you want Nahuel to keep feeding it to you?" Aunt Alice said dancing to my side. I didn't think anyone had seen that. I giggled and went with her. I would find out later what Jake problem with Nahuel was.

Everyone sang happy birthday to me as I cut the cake and blushed. After I finally got done with my third piece of cake, I danced with my uncles and even Sam and Seth. I also opened up some of my presents off the table, I was starting to get tired. I was having fun dancing and talking to everyone, but the day had been so long. Slowly people stated to leave, well the werewolves left. My grandpa called it a night telling me that he had a very fun and interesting time.

The only people left was Jacob of course, the amazons Nahuel included, the Denali's, and my family. Everyone was just sitting and talking now. I finally was ready to go home. I stood to leave, getting up off the couch with my mother.

"Finally giving in." Uncle Emmett said laughing.

I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Yes." I looked to Alice. " I had a lot of fun thanks."

"Of course you did. There was never a doubt in my mind." She said smiling. My mother and father kissed and hugged me and said good night.

"Night." I said looking at everybody. I was caught into the warm teak eyes and smiled back at Nahuel as he waved to me. As I was about to leave Jacob came to my side.

"Come on ness. I'll walk you to the cottage." He smiled my smile and I just nodded as my body like always reacted to his eyes and my cheeks began to warm. I guess the night wasn't over just yet. I couldn't avoid it any longer.
