I own nothing, except future characters not in Stephenie Meyer's offical world. Enjoy =)

I can hear a faint voice calling to me, but its not the same voice as before.

"Nessie. Nessie wake up!"

Don't listen to him, follow my voice…

The voice is getting louder, closer. "Nessie! You're having a nightmare, wake up!"

I can make the nightmare end, follow my voice, come to me and it will end…

"Ness, it's me, Jacob! Wake up! Ow!"

Jacob.

The sound of his name snaps me out of the black hole I was trapped in. I sit straight up in my bed, gasping for air. The tugging feeling is gone again, for now. I just have a feeling whoever it is, will be back, I'm sure of it.

"Renesmee, are you okay?"

I look over at Jacob, his face marked with concern.

"Jake…", I reply breathless, leaning into him still out of breath.

"What was the nightmare about? You were screaming.", he says, rubbing my back, my shoulders.

"I don't know. I couldn't see. All I know is there was a voice, telling me to give in, to follow his voice, to come to him. I almost did, until you said your name and that brought me back."

"It's okay, you're okay. It wasn't real."

I'm beg to differ "I know, but it felt real.", I lied.

Jake was quiet for awhile. He continued to rub my back, causing me to start to drift back to sleep. I didn't want to go back to sleep, the voice might still be there ready to drag my under again.

I move away from Jacob, getting up off the bed and walking over to the window. The sky is clear. Full of stars, from one end of the sky to the other. The moonlight creating a silhouette of faint light over the outside world and my room. I love nights like these. I almost wish I was full vampire so I won't have to sleep through them.

"You said I was screaming. Everyone would have heard me. Where are they?"

With my back turned to him, still staring out at the night sky, I can hear him move off the bed and walk across the room to stand behind me.

"Carlisle came in about an hour ago to tell me they were going hunting. Your Mom and Dad went with them, but they should be back soon."

I nod, knowing he can see me. After a minute or two, he speaks again.

"Can I see it?"

"See what?"

"The dream. I want to know why it bothered you so much."

I wasn't sure I wanted to relive the dream again. I shake my head. "N-no."

"Nessie, you can't deal with this by yourself. Please, I want to make you feel better, but I have to see the problem first."

I don't answer him. I continue to stare out the window, hoping he'll drop it. I hear him take a few steps forward so he's standing right behind me. My back touching his chest. He takes a deep breath, then whispers, sending chills down my spine.

"Please Nessie. I want to help you feel better. I'm here, you won't have to deal with it by yourself this time."

With my back pressing against his chest, I realize that he's shirtless. It takes everything I have not to turn around a touch him.

I lean into him instead, reaching up behind me to place my hand on his cheek. I close my eyes replaying the dream. Jacob encircles his arms around me, comforting me, letting me know he's here.

I play the dream from the beginning, tensing when the voice speaks. Jake squeezes me and says in my ear, "It's okay. I'm right here. He can't hurt you. I'm here."

I relax knowing he's so close, holding me. Once the dream is over, I turn around in his arms and look up at him. "He'll be back. I know it.", I say trying to stop myself from crying, but the tears in my eyes are making it hard.

One escapes my eye and journeys down my cheek. Jacob wipes it away with his thumb before it can get far. He cups my cheek.

"Hey it's okay. I won't let anyone take you away from me or your family. Have you ever heard this voice before?"

"Yeah, earlier, before when we were on the porch right as we went inside. I looked back over my shoulder because I felt like I was being watched or something and I heard it, but it was just a whisper then.", I didn't want to tell Jacob about the first time I heard t he voice. I knew it would make him worry more than he already was, but I had to. I mean, twice in one day? This guy is persistent, he'll definitely be back. I can see the gears going in his head already, trying to think back for any clues to where this voice was coming from.

"We'll have to tell the pack and your family. Alice hasn't had any visions, has she?"

"Not that I know of."

He thinks about this, than says, "I think something's up. It can't be a coincidence that I smell something in the woods and you hear voices in the same place I smell it."

"There was a feeling too, remember?"

"Yeah, that too. We need to tell your family before I give any orders though. They might know if Alice saw something."

"Okay."

He hugs me tighter, "Nothing is going to happen to you. I promise."

Jake leans down and kisses my forehead, my nose, and finally my lips. We stand there in the moonlight kissing for a few moments. Somehow I start moving forward causing him to backup, never breaking the kiss. We get to the edge of the bed. He sits down, still never stopping the kiss. I straddle him, continuing to kiss him, his hands on my hips. I don't want to stop. I could stay like this forever and be happy.

Jacob leans back to lay on his back on the bed, I follow. Then, without warning he breaks the kiss and rolls over, causing me to lay on my back on the bed with him over me. He looks down at me with hungry, desire filled eyes. They almost look like their glowing in this light. We're both panting, trying to catch our breath.

"We have to stop. We're not ready for this yet.", he says hoarsely.

My brain starts working again and something clicks, "Your right. We should stop. Um…can I get up?"

Jacob moves off of me to sit beside me.

"I'm sorry Jacob. I shouldn't have-"

"No Ness, it's not your fault. You were upset. I should have had more control over my feels. I'm sorry."

I look down, playing with the sheet. "I think we're rushing a little. I mean we started dating today or yesterday I guess. Maybe if we just…I don't know…take it slow, maybe I won't feel so overwhelmed. On the plus side though. You did make me feel better. Thank you."

"Anytime. Any place.", he says. "Come on, you need to go back to sleep. I'll be here if anything happens. I promise."

I nod, even though I'm nervous to go back to sleep. I crawl under the covers, with Jacob laying next to me on top of them. I rest my head against him chest, listening to the slow beating of his heart. It's soothing, quickly lulling me to sleep like a beautifully sung lullaby.

I didn't dream of the voice again that night.

It's been almost two weeks since I first heard the voice. It's like it never even existed. I keep thinking his going to pop up one night when Jacob can't stay over, leaving me helpless and scared. But, his never does.

We ended up telling Mom and Dad about the voice and the dream. Dad immediately went to Alice and Grandpa Carlisle. And my first thoughts were true.

Alice hadn't seen anything.

Carlisle thought that we should keep an eye on things, but not worry about it. Jacob was a little less positive about the situation. He had his pack run extra patrols to come up with anything, but they haven't found anything. I'm on edge contently when I'm hunting or before I go to sleep. I refuse to sleep unless someone like my dad or Jacob are there. Because dad can read minds, he'd be able to hear the voice while I dreamt and he could get a better 'look' at him per se.

Today, Jacob and I decide we want to go hang out at Billy's. I haven't seen him since the party and I did promise to try his spaghetti.

I'm sitting in the living room waiting for Jacob when my Dad calls me from the table in the dining room. I get up off the couch and walk over to him to find my Mom sitting there as well.

"Yeah Dad?"

"Can your mother and I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure, sure." Since I've been spending a lot of time with Jake lately- partly because he won't let me out of his sight unless someone with me- I've picked up on his popular choice of words.

"Sit down Renesmee.", says Mom.

I take a seat, my face as stiff as stone. Did you find something?

"Don't worry sweetheart. We haven't found anything. That's not what we want to discuss with you.", says Dad.

My eyes narrow with curiosity.

My Dad takes a deep breath. "Your mother and I want to know how you would feel about going to school in the next couple weeks."

My mouth slowly drops. Ever since I was little I've dreamed of going to school and making friends outside of the family and the packs.

"I-I'd love too, but wouldn't that mean…"

"Yes, we would have to leave.", says my Dad in a sad tone.

My Mom reaches over a takes my hand, "Honey, you don't have to decide now. Think about it for a little bit. We don't want to pressure you into anything."

I nod my head and squeeze my mom's hand, "Okay. I'll think about it."

Just than, there's a knock at the door. I turn just in time to see Jacob walk through the door. I instantly feel better. Just seeing him makes my heart skip a beat.

"Hey guys. You ready Nessie?"

"Yeah, I'll be right there, just let me get my hoodie from upstairs."

I get up from the table and race up the stairs. I grab a sweatshirt from my closet and bolt downstairs. When I get down there Jacob is at the door talking to Mom and Dad. They hear me coming and turn around to say goodbye. I hug them, each of them placing a kiss on my forehead.

"Just remember what we said Renesmee, alright?", says Mom.

I nod as I watch them walk hand in hand back into the living room.

I give a little sigh than turn to Jacob. "Ready?"

He takes my hand in his, "Yep. Let's go hang out with Billy for a bit, then what do you say we go to La Push Beach?"

"Sure, sure.", I smile at him and squeeze his hand. Jake smiles back at me. He pulls me out the door toward his Rabbit.

"You still have this thing?", I say just as I get in the passenger side.

"Yep. Still runs like a dream."

I chuckle under my breath and shake my head.

Jake starts the car and drives down the driveway and onto the main road. In the direction of my favorite place in the entire world.

We pull up to Jacob's red, barn-like, house. I've always like his house. Looking at it now brings back so many memories from my short childhood.

Jacob turns off the engine, jumps out of the car to open my door for me.

"Hope your hungry Ness. Billy went a little nuts when he heard you were coming over today. He even invited Charlie, Sam's pack, and my pack to come."

"Wow. Who knew your dad liked me that much.", I blush scarlet.

"I love it when you do that." He leans in and kisses me on the lips. He breaks the kiss, resting his forehead on mine. He takes my hand. "Let's go."

We walk up the path to the front door. Jake turns the knob and opens the door.

"Dad! We're here!"

We walk farther into the house. It sounds like everyone is outside on the back porch. It's an unusual sunny day in La Push, but it's still kinda chilly out.

"Jacob! My man! Where have you been?"

Paul walks up to him and shakes his hand and pulls him into one of those 'guy hugs'.

"I've been around.", He says pulling me closer to his side.

"Ah I see. And how is my brother-in-law's main squeeze?"

I giggle, "She's doing alright. Thanks Paul."

He gives me a hug, then walks back over to Jacob's sister, Rachel.

Billy wheels him self over to us. He takes my hand that isn't wrapped around Jake's waist into his own. "I'm so glad you could come Nessie."

"I wouldn't miss it. Thanks for having me."

Billy squeezes my hand than lets it go. He glances at Jacob, who nods back in response.

I try to break the tension. "Is Grandpa here?"

"No. I'm sorry Renesmee. He got a call and won't be able to make it."

"Oh, it's okay. Just means I'll have to make a special trip out to see him."

"I think he'd love that sweetheart. Help yourselves to the spaghetti. There's plenty for everyone."

"Thanks dad. We will."

We head for the kitchen. Jacob grabs two paper plates and starts scooping spaghetti onto the them.

"What was with that look Billy gave you?"

He continues to put food on the plates. "What look?"

"The look he gave you after I said 'Thanks for having me.'"

"Oh that look. I don't know, a father-son thing. I'll tell you later, okay?"

I sigh a little, "Okay."

He hands me a plate full of spaghetti and we head back outside. We sit, eat, and talk for what feels like hours. I sat with Rachel the whole time chatting about everything and anything. Next to Jacob, I'm really close to Rachel. She is like the sister I never had. I can tell her pretty much anything.

The sunny was close to setting when Jacob comes and sits beside me while I'm still talking to Rachel.

He leans over and whispers in my ear, "Will you walk down to the beach with me and watch the sun set?"

I look at him, then back at Rachel. She looks at me with understanding eyes. "Go ahead, we'll talk again when you come over next time." She gives me and Jacob a hug before we head down, hand in hand, to the coastline.

The sky is a mixture of colors when we get to the beach. From reds and oranges, to blacks and blue and everything in between.

Jacob finds a driftwood to sit on. I sit down next to him, but he pulls me into his lap.

"Sorry. You just weren't close enough."

"It's okay, I don't mind.", I giggle. I feel my cheeks getting warmer.

We sit like that for a while. The sun almost gone below the horizon.

"Are you going to tell me what that look was really about, Jakey?", I hate using my little kid nickname for him, but it usually gets me what I want.

He hesitates for a second. "I'm not sure what to tell you Ness."

"The truth might be a start."

He takes a deep breath. "You really want to know?"

"Yes."

"Alright…well you know all 'bout the imprinting and stuff right?"

"Yeah, I remember you telling me stories when I was little."

"Right. Well that look my dad gave me today had something to do with that…"

I'm confused. "Like what?"

He takes an other deep breath while rubbing the back of his neck. "He wanted me to tell you something, but I'm not sure how you'll take it."

"What is it? Come on Jacob, spit it out. You can tell me anything, remember?"

He hesitates again, "Alright…I… I've imprinted."

I can't breathe. My world just literally fell apart.

"Y-you…imprinted…? When? Who?…", I'm hysterical. This can't be happening. I love him.

"Nessie take a deep breath. I'll answer all your questions I promise. Just breathe."

I take a couple of deep breathes. "Alright, first question, when did you imprint?"

"About seven years ago.", I take that in. Has he been messing with me this whole time?

"Who?"

He looks me in the eyes and says, "Here's where it might be a shock to you Ness."

"Just tell me Jacob. Please."

He looks down, then back up at my face.

"You. I imprinted on you Renesmee."
