Chapter 4

Jess' POV

The familiar sound of my cell phone singing filled the silence of my book and me. Without looking at the caller ID, I answered.

"Hello" I said into the mouthpiece.

"Hey Jess! Its Nessie."

"Oh, hey! What's up?"

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to sleepover my house next Saturday."

"Sure. That'll be fun. I need to get off of this reservation. Hahaha!" I replied, maybe a little to quickly.

"Great! Alice will be there, so I am warning you now, she LOVES sleepovers. Even if she doesn't sleep."

"Okay! I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye Jess!"

"Bye Ness!"

"OMG, we rhyme! Hahaha!"

"I guess we do. Hahaha! "

"Bye." Then she hung up. Wow, I am sleeping over Renesmee Cullen's house. I suddenly got one of those creepy feelings in the pit of my stomach where it feels like something amazing is going to happen. Then I got excited and very energetic. Whenever I get this way, I went outside.

I had to sneak out; lets just say that my mom and Sam (A/N: her step dad is infact a descendant of Sam Uley, Sam Uley the 4th.) don't like my habit.

Cautiously, I slipped out of my room and into the hallway of Sam's one story beach house. Mom was in her room and, unfortunately, Sam was watching T.V. I tiptoed toward the master bedroom and into bathroom. Gently, I wiggled the window lock up and slid the window to the top. I popped out the screen on the two top corners and it fell to the ground; it wasn't attached to the bottom of the window. Propping myself up, I turned onto my side and shimmied out of the house. When I moved in, I was only about nine, but once he became a werewolf, he showed me his trick to get out. He knew I would use it because I was constantly getting I trouble for leaving the house at night. It was too dangerous with all the young werewolves in the forest and on the beach.

I slipped onto the beach, into the darkness, letting the chilled March midnight air surround me and take me over. I let out a sigh. The night always calmed me. I giggled at that thought, thinking of the irony. The night is were I am comfortable and my best friend was a daughter of night, or at least half of one.

"Jess? Is that you?" I heard a voice speak.

"Josh? What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?" I asked, practically scolding him.

"Umm… I have a job to do. You know, protect the rez. What are you doing out here? Oh, I know the answer to that. You feel more comfortable out here." He responded, putting air quotes around comfortable. By now he was right next to me. The thought came to my mind that I hadn't seen him for two days. Our schedules were off, so we haven't even made eye contact since Saturday. It was really unusual for us because we were best friends as well as stepsiblings. I reached up and hugged him. Taken off guard, he took a step back then hugged me back, laughing.

"Nice to see you too." He said. "All the guys missed you at school today."

"Really?" I asked. A twig snapped behind me.

"Yeah, really." A familiar voice that didn't belong to Josh said. I looked up at the owner. Out from the brush stepped Josh's other best friend, Carson. "Hey Jess!"

"Hey Car! What's up?" I replied, smiling and pulling away from Josh. He stiffened under my grasp. I squeezed his arm and looked up into his eyes. He was staring intently at Carson, eyes narrowed, then nodded.

Then Carson cleared his throat, making my shift my eyes to him. "Umm… John sniffed out a vampire. Again." Wait, did he say again? There has been another vampire in the woods?

"Was it a vampire other than one of the Cullens?" I blurted. Both boys looked at me, questioning why I knew about the Cullens.

I rolled my eyes. "I know the Cullens are back. I met them at school today." Utter shock crossed their faces. Then they remembered that the Cullens go to the local high school when they are in Forks. Carson opened his mouth, but josh quickly cut him off.

"So what if they are? They can come here. Jacob Black broke the treaty years ago." He said.

"I was just wondering. But seriously. Was it another vampire besides the Cullens?" I asked again, annoyed.

"Yes. Yes, it is not one of the nine Cullens." Carson said. Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Edward, Bella and Nessie. That's nine. Good, I didn't miss anyone. I thought to myself.

The boys were mumbling to each other, their heightened senses picking up every word. Josh turned to me, hugged my again and whispered into my ear, "I have to go. Talk to you later." With that, both guys stripped down and, within the blink of an eye, two humungous bear- like wolves were running into the woods at the edge of the beach. I sighed and went in the other direction.

I often did this as well. The woods always fascinated me. Curiously, I strolled and dodged tree after tree. I entered into my favorite clearing. Only Josh and I know about its significance. I had seen him make his first change here. I had followed him because I had heard him and Sam arguing about him not feeling good. Sam kept saying stuff like, "any day know" and "I'm so proud of you" and Josh was getting confused. He went into the woods, upset, and, being one of his best friends, I followed him. Right before my eyes, my Josh turned into a huge chocolate brown wolf. He sensed my presence but didn't attack. He recognized me and calmed down enough to change back. Talk about a brother- sister moment.

I plopped down on the wet grass of the clearing, and looked up at the stars. Every one was shining bright and pure overhead. Every one was even more perfect than the previous. I lay back so I wouldn't have to strain my neck. The dark enveloped me once more and I felt my eyes slide closed.
