Sometimes Renesmee Cullen is a sight to behold.

Seriously.

I have never seen Jake look so unsure of himself in my life. I mean this dude is the epitome of cool; if anyone was ever sure of himself it would be Jacob 'big wolf on campus' Black, that's for sure…until now.

Nessie may be little, but boy can she fucking go for it! It's very impressive. It took a lot of effort on my part to keep her from physically going at the guy! …After the first push and punch that is…the guy deserved it for fucks sake! Suggesting that Ness and me were anything other than friends! Thinking I'd do that to him! Honestly I wouldn't mind punching the bloke myself! But yet again I'm bound by pack rules and had to keep shtumm.

Step forward Nessie!

"I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD SETH LET ME GO BEFORE I TAKE THIS SHIT OUT ON YOU!" she screamed, arms flailing, hair everywhere, looking every-bit a newborn vampire…

I couldn't help but chuckle, shit this was just too funny for words…she was going mental, newborn style, and Jake was backing up like he was shitting himself! "Ness, your angry…calm down…"

"TOO RIGHT I'M FUCKING ANGRY!!!"

Not only is Jake normally so sure of himself, but he's a thick twat too. Anyone could see that the girl was going fricking mental, and the best thing to do in that situation would be to let her calm down…but no, not Jake…

"Nessie I…" but there was no way she was ever going to let him finish. No way on earth!

"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU…YOU…YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!"

I had to hold her arms behind her back at that point so she couldn't use them. I figured she'd thank me later…Jake is hard! Like, really hard. She'd break even her ragamuffin half vampire bones. So now she was lurching forward, her chest puffed out and her face flushed red as a beetroot. This would've been some funny shit if it hadn't have been my best friend wanting to rip the head off my alpha, the guy who imprinted on her when she was born…the guy who forbade me to see her anymore…yeah, I really should've let her go for it, shouldn't I?

"Now hold on a second!" was Jakes reply. I could tell the shock of seeing Nessie losing her cool had worn off slightly, and he was beginning to get his hot head back. "You don't even frigging know me!"

"AND YOU DON'T KNOW ME! SO BACK THE HELL UP JACOB BLACK! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR SHIT ALREADY AND ITS WEARING PRETTY FUCKING THIN!"

I'd have punched the air and high five'd the girl if I didn't think she'd fly full pelt at Jake as soon as I'd let her go. Go Nessie!

Now we were so intent on our 'little spat' that we didn't hear anything…well, anyone, approach until…

"Jacob, what's happening here?"

It was the heavies. Fuck.

Jacob wheeled round and looked at Sam Uley who was stood just out of the line of trees with his hands on his hips and was eyeing the scene with unease. Paul emerged at his side too and I wondered if we were going to be graced with the whole fucking pack! Then he looked round at Nessie, who had eased slightly but still stood firm, and then back to Sam. "Nothing."

That's my leader for you…to the point, no bullshit…twat.

"It clearly doesn't look like nothing, Jacob." Sam raised a hand in gesture at Nessie and me. "What's the half breed doing in La Push?"

Well…

If I had to rip Sam Uley a new one, I would have, right then and there! Before I new what I was doing I'd shoved Nessie behind me and had stepped forward; a result of some sort of inane tribal need to protect my own…or possibly complete madness…who knows?

Half-breed for fucks sake?! Half-breed?? No fucker calls Nessie a half-breed except me and even I don't fucking mean it!

It seems Jake was of the same mind…

And so there we were…me and Jake, side by side, bristling and directing all hostilities toward a confused looking Sam and a crazy angry looking Paul.

"Watch what your saying Sam." was Jake's quiet and deadly sounding warning. He muttered it through his teeth so it came out as a sort of hiss.

Paul growled but Sam put a hand out in front of him. "No offence intended Jacob but she is a Cullen."

"She's no vampire Sam, she's no threat to anyone!"

"Except you, apparently…" replied Sam with a quirked eyebrow. I couldn't help notice that Paul sniggered.

Nessie had been quiet as the members of the 'other pack' had joined us, but I knew from experience that she wouldn't be able to stay quiet for long…and a remark like that…well…it was just an invite!

"What the fuck would you know about anything?!"

Ahhh good old Nessie…if anyone was ever going to swear at Sam Uley it would be her. That girl's got balls.

Sam looked at her a little gone out but it was Paul who answered back. "Keep a lid on your little lady Jacob…she's no match."

"Shows what you know!" I snarled back, not able to hold my tongue. I may be a lover rather than a fighter but no one bad mouths my best mate and gets off scott-free, just because he's got his alpha with him! Fuck no! In fact the non-protective part of me would have loved to have let Nessie loose on the fucker, just to see his face when she fucked him over.

"Oh and you would, Seth?" Paul said back, smirk on his face. Ass wipe.

"I'm nobody's 'little lady'! Least of all Jacob Black's!"

Sam found that amusing. "Oh really?"

"Yes, really!" replied Nessie folding her arms and scowling. If she could have got away with it she would have stuck her tongue out I'm sure.

"Is that so?"

"Oh butt out, what the fuck are you doing here anyway? Piss off, won't you?!" she replied in annoyance. She hates people trying to get smart with her.

Sam just smirked and turned to Jake again "You've got your hands full with this one, haven't you?"

I don't think Jake was in the mood for lighthearted banter though…he looked awfully menacing. "Sam, why are you here?"

"We heard shouting." answered Paul with a laugh. "Thought it was something serious…didn't know you were getting ripped apart by your girlfrie..."

Oops…

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!" yelled Nessie who all but tried to launch herself between me and Jake, to get at Paul…seriously when this girl is wound up, she's wound up tight and the smallest thing can flip her switch!

I wasn't fast enough but Jake grabbed hold of her arm and held her fast.

"What the hell do you think your doing?!" she snarled at him as she looked at his hand on her tiny white arm and back to his face.

He didn't look at her, but there was colour down his neck…colour I'd not seen before… "Stopping you from starting another war between the wolves and vampires." he muttered through his teeth, eyes never leaving Paul.

Dude had a point.

If Nessie had have gone for Paul, then Paul would have defended himself, which would have definitely sent me and Jake straight at his neck for sure, which would have pulled Sam in…then as soon as the Cullen's would've got wind of it, because you can't keep anything from Edward…and fucking annoying it is too…then all of them, including sweet Esme, would be on the rez, going ape shit! No one touches Nessie. No one.

Nessie, however, was taking offence to having Jake's hands on her, but it didn't look as though he was letting go anything soon which was a very good thing given her current mood; not as thick as I thought, that bloke…I should give him more credit sometimes.

"Get off me!" she demanded.

And then Jake looked her dead in the eyes and said a word that Nessie doesn't like, a word that he meant with every fibre of his being.

"No."

Well fuck me if the bloke didn't just grow a pair!

*

Seriously why the fuck would anyone tell Sam fucking Uley to piss off? Especially someone so frigging little!?

She was trying to get me killed, that's the only explanation.

Which, you know, I'm sure she'd just love, right?

When I caught her scent as I was walking back from La Push beach I almost had a frigging heart attack! Renesmee on the rez, close to midnight? Fuck. What if Sam or even Paul (formally known as my meat head brother-in-law) had have caught her half-vampire scent? What then? Does she even think?

Yup, definitely trying to kill me…

I know I'm not her favourite person but geeze! Couldn't she see the danger she could have gotten herself in? And then antagonising Sam! For fucks sake!

So then I was stood there with my hand around her arm and her staring daggers at me. Is it strange for me to get a little bit of pleasure from that?

The answer would be 'Yes Jacob, yes it is strange you fucking pervert'.

She just looked so fierce and flushed and so god dammed attractive! It took all my self-discipline to hold my nerve and stand my ground. It's tough being so close to the girl of your dreams; touching her, feeling the electricity run through your fingers where your skin is touching hers. I knew right then and there she loathed me but it still sort of didn't matter which is the most fucked up part of this whole thing. She hates me and I still love her like she's my world. Maybe I should let her kill me…it might be kinder on me that way…hey; she might even have a little compassion and kill me in a pleasurable way! A guy can dream right?

Fuck knows how we managed to diffuse the situation but Sam and Paul left after they got in a few more jibes about Nessie being a crazy hand full. They're going to be laughing about it for decades I swear. Perhaps it would be for the best if Nessie killed me…

When they'd gone and I'd finally let go of Nessie's arm all three of us stood there looking at one another. Nessie was breathing heavily and Seth was eyeing her with concern…as if she'd try and pounce me…not an entirely unpleasant thought…

It was Seth who eventually spoke first. "So…now…erm I think we were discussing something..?" I could tell he didn't want to broach the subject but I guess he felt a little braver with Nessie on his side. Bastard.

"Yes…yes we were…" replied Nessie as she shot me an angry glance, "…Seth you're coming back to Forks with me. Esme misses you. We all miss you. Fuck it I miss you, you stupid shit." I was about to interject but she cut me off. "And you! You can butt out. Seth is my best friend and you cannot forbid him from seeing me, or my family! His family!" at this point her finger came out and she jabbed it in my direction angrily. "I don't know what ego trip u get off on but you can't break up my family!"

"I'm not trying to break up your family!" I replied sharply, watching the fire blaze behind her chocolate brown eyes…as if she was a freshly fed vampire.

"Then why stop Seth from seeing us?"

Oh shit. She thought I was stopping him from being around the Cullen's. She had no idea that every smile, every glance, every flippant remark she sent his way tore through me like I was being clawed at.

I couldn't reply.

I just stood there and let her twirl round and stalk away, catching a whiff of her scent as the air moved around us. Fuck she smelt good…I'd almost forgotten how sweet her scent was to me…shit I'd have to get a grip of this.

Seth stood there and just watched my face, waiting for my approval. I wanted to lay the fucker out. I wanted to rip that guy apart with my bare hands right then and there simply because Nessie wanted his company. Nessie wanted his friendship, his jokes, his smile… Nessie wanted Seth Clearwater around and not me. Definitely not me. And I hated him for it. I loathed him for it. I wanted to kill him for it.

"Just…fucking go." I eventually replied with a sigh from somewhere past my toes.

He dithered and I felt every second he stayed I was that much closer to losing it again. When he eventually did disappear off into the dark, in the direction Nessie had gone, I phased.

I phased because that was the only way I could keep a lid on all the fucked up emotions surging through me right then. And when I phase I can howl, which helps, and I can run…fast.

And run is what I did.

I knew I was vaguely heading the direction of 'home' well, as home as that stupid cage of a house was going to be in this god forsaken peninsular. Why the fuck did we have to come here? Why the fuck did everyone think that this was such a fucking great idea?

Oh for pity's sake what the fuck was he howling at?

I swear I had never hated anyone before as much as I hated Jacob Black right then. That meat-headed egotistical fucker had tried to keep Seth away from us, away from me and that, well that was not on.

Where the hell did he get off, giving people orders, expecting them to just do as their told without so much as a whisper in protest? And why didn't people protest? Well he'd met his fucking match in me I swore to it. I'd not be giving that twat any leeway what so ever! Seth was my best friend and he wouldn't take him away from me.

And what was with the whole 'No.' thing?

What the fuck gave him the right to think he could say 'no' to me like that? Like he was my fucking father?!

"Nessie hold up?"

My anger at Jacob still hadn't quashed my annoyance with Seth. "Why the fuck did you listen to him?!" I almost yelled as a stopped abruptly to stare him down.

Seth rolled his eyes, like it was obvious. "He ordered me, Ness. He's my fucking alpha. It's not something I can control. He says jump, and I have to jump, whether I like it or not. And I didn't like it, by the way…keeping away from you guys…or you…"

He looked up at me through his lashes with that cute little smirk he's got…the one that shit bag knows gets him out of trouble with everyone…including me.

"Oh for fucks sake Seth!" I exclaimed turning round to hide my smile. That guy knew how to work me. "Fine, come on, before I change my fucking mind and send you back to watch that tiny TV."

He was at my side in a flash, that huge grin on his face.

Dick.

I loved him though; it was tough not to. That guy was like my big brother and I'd not be giving him up for anybody. Least of all Jacob fucking Black.
