He heard the scream very clearly. It had rung in his ears, piercing the silence of First Beach like a knife.

He had been sitting on the beige sand silently thinking. Thinking.. Of her. Renesmee.

The past six months had been torture. He howled in pain every night and didn't sleep. When he did, he'd have nightmares.

Renesmee, calling to him, crying. "Help me Jake! Help me!" She screamed. He would run, run to her voice, but it would slowly fade and he'd wake with a cold sweat.

He was supposed to protect her, but what had he done? Now she was gone, forever. There was no turning back and doing what he should have. And that's what hurt him the most. But for now..

He shed his jacket and ran, his breath ragged, his heart pounding.

She was falling.. It seemed to be in slow motion.

Her curly chestnut hair flapped in the wind as her body drifted down to the depths of the cold water. If she went below, she would either drown or freeze to death.

He dived into the water just as she hit the surface. He quickly reached the spot where she fell, and dove under.

Her face was pale, her hair flowing around her like a halo. She was unconscious. The only things she had on that could keep her warm was a thin sweater and jeans.

He quickly grabbed her light frame and kicked back to the surface. Her head drooped on his shoulder as he swam them back to the shore.

There was only one place he could go to get immediate help. The Cullen's house.

"Jacob is coming. And he has someone with him.. A girl." Alice looked up in shock at Edward's words.

He seemed tense and wary as he looked out at the driveway. Soon enough, Jacob, soaking wet and carrying a limp form, sprinted up to the door where Edward stood.

"Is Carlisle here?" He panted. Edward called for his father and inspected the girl in Jacob's arms.

She was unconscious. Her face was pale, her eyes closed. Her hair and clothes were dripping wet. She was wearing Jacob's jacket.

Jacob was mostly the same. His short hair had water droplets still stuck to them. His clothes were soaked through but he wasn't the least cold.

"Jacob." Carlisle spoke quietly. He led the way to a bed he had had from the hospital and Jacob placed the girl on it.

He suddenly noticed something he hadn't seen before.

It was a small silver locket etched with small flowers. He was tempted to open it and see if there was something inside but his better judgment took over.

Carlisle inspected her and checked her pulse. "She's fine, just unconscious. Where did you find her?" Jacob told them about the scream.

He didn't tell them about what he had been thinking before, though. He knew the Cullen's would all react differently. Edward especially.

He had taken the death of Renesmee especially hard, and the death of Bella. He would just sit in his room listening to the many CD's he had lining his wall, and went hunting often.

He was silent, his only response to questions a nod or shake of the head.

Alice or Esme would try to get him to open up, but he remained eerily quiet and would just escape into the forest when pressured. Jacob could hardly blame him, although he took his pain much more violently.

Suddenly, Alice nudged him. The girl was stirring.

She blinked and raised her head and looked around at them all with her eyes half-closed. "Cherese?" She faintly whispered. Her eyes closed and she fell back onto the pillow.

"Esme, Rosalie, please give her a warm bath. Alice, could you find some clothes of yours for her to wear? Thank you." Carlisle said and handed the girl over to Esme.

Within moments the men were alone. "Jacob, are you sure you did not see anyone up on the cliff when she was falling? There's no way a human could have pushed her and ran back into the forest without you seeing something." Carlisle said to Jacob.

"No. I didn't see any movement or anything." Jacob replied.

Edward stared intently at his father and nodded. "She didn't jump herself. There must have been something too fast for Jacob to see there who pushed her. There's no other explanation." He said quietly.

"What do you think it was?" Asked Emmett. "It couldn't have been a vampire. If it were it would have bitten her." Jasper commented.

"Edward. Please go and check the forest she came through. Whatever it was might still be there. We can't take the risk of having it hurt other innocent people." Carlisle said.

Edward nodded and took off out the door. Jacob watched him go solemnly. He hoped Edward would find whatever it was and destroy it.

He couldn't bear the thought of the creature hurting others. Or murdering them. A pang of hate rushed through him and he growled, his hands clenched into fists.

"Jacob. Calm down. The girl is alright and that's all that matters for now." Carlisle assured him.

"As a matter of fact, why don't you go check on her . She should be fine." Jacob nodded and went up the stairs to where he could hear voices.

The girl was sitting up in Alice's bed and talking to Alice and Rosalie.

She was wearing a white sleeved nightdress with Jacob's jacket over it. She looked worried.

Alice turned at Jacob's entrance. "Jacob. This is Rainbeau." Rainbeau looked curiously up at him.

He remembered when Renesmee looked at him like that when he said something she couldn't understand. Sorrow filled his heart and he leaned on the doorframe for support.

"Thank you… for saving me." Said a voice he could not recognize but was so familiar. Rainbeau smiled at him and for a second he felt like smiling himself.

"Are you.. Okay? Do you need anything?" He asked warily. "No, but thank you anyway. I would go home but.." She blushed and looked down at the blanket bundled up on her legs.

Alice smiled and finished her sentence. "She doesn't remember where she lives."

Jacob's eyebrows rose. "You can't remember? Wow. That must have been a hard fall."He said.

"No, Jacob, she didn't lose her memory. She just came here today and she doesn't know the address." Said Rosalie sharply.

Jacob glared at her, then looked back at Rainbeau. "So you don't know how to get home? At all?" Rainbeau shook her head.

"Well that's just fabulous. Guess you'll have to just stay here until you remember, huh?" Jacob jumped a little as Emmett strode into the room.

"No, no, of course not! I couldn't do that to you guys, not after you've already done so much for me. Its fine. I'll just stay in a hotel or something." Rainbeau said, shaking her head at the idea of staying with them.

"Do you have money?" Asked Emmett, smirking.

"Uh.." Rainbeau looked around frantically. "No. If I had it would only be a few dollars, plus they would be soaking wet. Oh, this is horrible. I can't let you guys have to take care of me."

She put her head in her hands and shook it. Alice rubbed her arm and smiled.

"Its okay, Rainbeau. We don't mind taking care of you." She reassured her.

Rainbeau looked at her in sadness. "I can't.. I just can't.. Its too much.." She tried to say.

Alice hushed her. "Why don't you rest. Its been a long day for you." Alice said and rose from where she was sitting.

Rainbeau opened her mouth to protest but thought better of it and just smiled.

Alice motioned to the others to leave, but just as they were walking out the door Rainbeau called.

"Wait.. Jacob. Can I talk to you?" Alice nodded to him and he walked back to the side of the bed.

"Yeah?" He asked gently.

He sat near her and waited for her to speak. "Thank you.. So so so much. You didn't have to do it.."

"Yes, I did." He interrupted.

His face became hard as he thought of Renesmee and Bella.

"I can't let innocent people just die. If any normal person had tried to save you, it would have been to late." He said.

"Wait.. What do you mean by normal?" She asked, a curious look on her face again.

"Uh.. Nothing. Its nothing." Rainbeau looked at him in concern but didn't press on.

"You should rest." He finally said, looking away. She nodded and lay back on the pillow.

As he was walking to the door, he heard a faint 'Thank you' come from Rainbeau.

He looked back. She was snuggled into his jacket, her eyes closed and her body curled up under the thick blanket.

"Your welcome." He said with a smile. He then turned and walked out the door.
