AN: The chapter, I have to admit this is one of my favourite chapters… It's funny how Jacob—oh no! I'm not telling you!! I was looking 9or rather starring) at my Taylor Lautner/Jacob Black poster when I typed this up. Then I covered it with my New Moon poster so I wouldn't do anymore spelling errors. Then I watched the Simpson's Movie 2ce! ENJOY (full of surprises! Especially the next 2 chapters)

A New Dawn

Chapter 4: The New Plan

Renesmee Cullen

Nick and I made a fire to rest for a little bit as the sun began to rise. I poked the fire with a stick as I thought about Jacob. We used to make a fires with his friends—and sometimes alone—and share old mythical stories they knew, or make ones up and have a few laughs… that was before this happened…

I frowned remembering Nick wasn't my Jacob… and never would be. He was my friend. Never anything more, and that god for that! I seemed to like Nick more than Lilly/Jane. He was my new best friend.

Nick understood everything I went through, mostly because he was older than me. Also, he was "my own kind". He knew how to make me laugh—which was not quite often, mostly I laughed because he tried to hard—and he was also… well, a little over protective, I thought I had it bad with Jacob… boy was I wrong! He also was a little nosey; reading the last three notes… really, cheesiness wasn't my biggest worry. They're only clues really… mostly I really hoped they would be known as love notes.

"Okay, last round. Truth or dare?" Nick asked.

"Truth." I said putting down my stick. I would never pick "dare" because I didn't want to know what he may've thought of me doing.

"Okay…" he bit his lip. I wondered what he wants to know. "I'm trying to be a jerk or anything. I'm just… curious." I shrugged. "Do you think that the Volturi would be after you if… you loved… me?"

I was surprised about what he asked. But then I just rolled my eyes, sometimes… he's just impossible!

"Well, that really depends… I mean…" I didn't want to hurt his feelings in anyway but I just said whatever came up. "I've known Jacob since I was born—well, before that really—and… well, it wouldn't be the same. I mean, without Jake I'd be with… someone else. So, if I was with you—so offence but—I'd probably wouldn't be half as happy as I am with him."

He pursed his lips and grabbed his own stick and shrugged as he pocked the fire.

"Sorry… did that sound cheesy too?" I asked. He shrugged again.

"Ah, not as bad as the 8th one." I laughed, he laughed with me. "Very poetic Renesmee."

The fire began to dim. I knew I should've slept but I grabbed my bag and started writing the next note:

Having a friend isn't half as bad. Don't worry, we didn't tell stories here. I talked about you. I miss you.

I paused. What could I tell him? I still didn't have a plan, and I had no idea where I was… still? But… maybe I could cut my imaginary travel line short. I smiled and crossed out everything I wrote.

I've decided to make 13 notes in total. Since this is the 10th one, I'll be making 3 more stops. On the 13th—instead of a note—I'll be waiting for you. Then, we'll come home and let this "race" end.

Can't wait to see you again.

With all my heart, Nessie

When I put it up, Nick went over to read what I wrote. I folded it and started running. It felt great to have a plan!


Seth Clearwater

I was dear bored playing chess with Rosalie.

"Check mate." She said. I didn't complain. Emmett took my place and had a 2 minute game.

"Check mate." Emmett said. Rosalie pouted.

"I'm sick of this game!" I shouted.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but the dog's right!" Rosalie said. Emmett and the others groaned and nodded.

"I wonder how Jacob's doing." Bella said, mostly to herself. "and Renesmee…"she frowned.

"Alice!" she called to the kitchen. "Does she have any idea where she is?" Alice walked in with 2 cups of blood for Emmett and Bella.

"Well, yes and no." she said. "She's with Nahuel so she's not traveling alone so—"

"Nahuel?" Edward asked. "Half vampire Nahuel?" Alice nodded.

"He says you sent him and now, they're best friends!" Edward had a confused look.

"Alice!" Bella said. "The 'yes and no'?"

"Oh right. No, she has no idea where she is and yes, she has a plan." Bella's face lit a little. "She's posting up three—oops! Two more notes, and then she's going to stop! That way, Jacob can find her and bring her home!"

Everyone, including me was cheering. Nessie would be home be home in just another day. Then I just notised, Edward wasn't cheering. He had a concerned look now.

Edward, what's wrong? I thought. He didn't answer to me, but to everyone.

"I didn't send Nahuel!" Everyone stopped cheering.

"Then who did?" Bella demanded. Alice looked into the future.

"NO!!" she yelled, she was on her feet. "NAHUEL! HE'S THE ONE! HE'S GOING TO BIT RENESMEE HIMSELF!!" Bella and Edward growled and ran out the door. Everyone followed, except me. I had an important job to do first. I shifted into a wolf and made sure Jacob was one too, he was.

Jake! I thought. Jacob! What's the last letter you read?

Um… he thought calmly. I didn't know how he could be so calm! Number 6, why?

You need to run faster! Don't stop until you've reached note 13!

Why? I told him about Alice's visions. I saw him run faster.

I'm going to follow your trail! I thought. Edward and the rest of them are on their way.

Seth, can you do me a quick favor first?

Sure, what is it… oh mighty Alpha. I teased. He laughed.

I forgot what the first note said. It was my favorite. Can you get it for me? Thanks.

But… Jake! But he already phased back. I groaned and started sniffing around.

It wasn't that hard to find his scent. But then, I noticed his scent was heading toward a familiar road. I went 2 doors down a familiar road behind bushes so no one could see me. I shifted back where I knew he stopped. I went behind the house's hedges. When I faced the house, guess what… it was mine!

It looked older than the last time I saw it. The windows were faded grey instead of sky blue, the fence was dirty with dirt with flowers put beside it to try to make it look better, the garage doors had a dent and were also faded. It looked a little like a ghost house.

"Seth?" I heard someone say, I looked at the front door, and a woman was staring at me through the door way. She was in her late forties, late fifties. She was carrying a flower pot, by the looks of it, she was gardening before she dropped it.

"Mom?" I said. She smiled and held out her arms. I ran to her in a flash.

"You've gotten taller!" I said with sarcasm in my voice.

"And I've gotten older!" she said, I laughed.


"So," Sue said pouring me a cup of coffee. "have you imprinted yet, during the last 14 years?" I nodded and drank my coffee.

"That's nice… so, when do I meet her?" I laughed.

"Did Jake tell you about the chase?" she nodded. "Well, when it's over."

"I see."

"Mom." I said, I remembered what I was here for. "Jake sent me here to get that note Nessie left." She looked confused at first then smiled.

"Oh, well he took that with him. Didn't he tell you?" Damn Jake! You owe me… great trick!

"Oh, right." I said. It really surprised me how she never mentioned Leah.

"You know," Sue said. "Jake said he'll be home soon right? Maybe you should… stay here in Forks. You know, until they come back. You better guard Charlie and Billy." I was about to argue, but I knew she was right.

"Charlie's getting old, Seth. He can't protect himself as well as he used to. And I don't want to lose you like Leah!" she paused on her persuasion speech. I took a deep breath.

"Okay, mom." I said. "I'll stay." She smiled. It would be good for me to stay with her. Catch up with my Mom for a bit. I thought.

Sorry Jake, your army is one werewolf short. Really, you owe me! Be safe Nessie. Be safe Jacob. Be safe… stay safe…
