Reneesme's POV

"How was your time with Tayler?" My mom asked late that night.

"Mmm, fine." I replied trying to keep the details to a bare minimum.

"What'd you guys do?" She asked.

"Oh not much." I replied. That was the truth, cause all I did was drive her home from school.

"I'm gonna go do my homework." I ran upstairs to my room and pulled out my cellphone. Things as in technology had actually not changed that much over the last hundred years. Everyone had said it would but it really hadn't.

"Hey Jake." I sent the text. He had given me his number right before I left his house.

"Hey I was about to text you." He replied a moment later.

"I just wanted to let you know I had a great time." I pulled out my science book and began doing the problems my teacher had assigned me. After going through high school several times I knew these problems easily.

"Yeah me too. I was thinking do you wanna hang out again tomorrow??" He asked.

"Yes! That would be fun." I replied. I couldn't believe Jake and I were going to hang out again. I finished my science project while Jake and I continued texting about random things and when I had finished I ran back down stairs.

"I'm gonna go for a run." I told my family the next day after school had ended.

"Have a good time dear." Said my grandmother and I slipped on some shoes.

"Be back later." I told them. It wasn't unusual for me to go for a run so I knew my family would think nothing of it. I took off towards Jake's house. I wasn't sure what to tell him when I got there with out my car, but it would probably be something like I got dropped off.

"Nessie! How'd you get here?" Was the obvious question he asked me when I reached his doorstep.

"Oh, I uh… got dropped off." I lied. Gah I hated lying and it seemed as though I had been doing a lot of it lately.

"So what do you want to do?" He asked.

"Well I was thinking maybe you could show me that car you're building in the garage." I said. "I didn't get to take a look last time."

"Ah yes this is my precious. I probably won't sell this one." He said as we walked out to his garage.

"What type is it?"

"A z71." He replied excitedly. He showed me it and I was surprised at what great craftsmanship it had.

"Your really good at this." I told him.

"I have been doing it since I was young he replied. It was only the skeleton of the car but I could tell it was going to be nice. We looked at it for a while and Jake put on some parts while I talked to him.

"So how do you like school?" he asked me.

"Um, it's fine. Very different from where I lived before but I don't mind it."

"That's good. Yeah, it's kind of a weird school. I mean the kids there are pretty weird but I like how everyone is really friendly." He said.

"Yeah, so why don't you go to school here on the res?" I asked. I was watching him weld some metal piece to his car. I wasn't exactly sure what it was.

"Uh well. I just didn't really want to. None of us really like the school here at the res. And so we decided to go to the one in Forks." He said the answered this question almost as if rehearsed like he knew I would ask it and he had the perfect answer for it.

"Jake, Reneesme want to go swim?" It was Quil, Embry, and Leah ran into the garage.

"Nessie?" he looked at me.

"Um, I forgot my suit." I replied.

"Oh I have one you can borrow." Leah said sweetly. "Come on." I looked at Jacob who shrugged and nodded.

"We'll be back." I said and followed Leah out. We walked down a little hill to another house.

"This is where I live." She said opening the door and allowing me inside. She had a nice sized room painted blue.

"Um, let's see." She began sifting through a drawer. "Nothing fancy but try this." She tossed me a two-piece bathing suit and walked into the bathroom to change. I hardly ever went swimming because it just wasn't really our family's type of thing. Although I was half human and did have a more normal temperature I stayed on the cooler side most of the time so I never needed to be cooled off in the summer. I was slight uncomfortable in that little of clothing. I walked back into Leah's room and she tossed me a towel.

"Cute, let's go." We walked back to Jacob's house where everyone was waiting and from there we headed out.

The water was icy cold but it barely bothered me. One of the guys didn't even want to get in it was so cold to him, which made me laugh, but everyone else did. Up a small hill there was a ledge and a tree stood next to the ledge with a rope swing tied to one of the branches. That was the most fun part. Everyone would take turns running up the hill and swinging off the ledge into the water far below.

"Wow, I didn't know that could be so fun!" I exclaimed as we walked home. At this Jacob laughed.

"Well I'm glad you had fun, so did I."

"Oh we know your having fun Jakey." Some of the guys teased him as they ran up behind us. Jake pushed them and the guys began pretend fighting. I laughed as they tackled each other to the ground. The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing until I finally decided my family would be expecting me home.

Jake's POV

"Jake come in here." I heard my dad call from the other room. Nessie had just left and I was about to take off for a bit with the pack.

"Yeah?" I was pulling my shirt off as I walked into the room. I tossed it onto a chair and flopped down on the couch.

"So Reneesme has been coming over a lot." He said eyeing me curiously.

"Yeah she has. She is pretty cool!" I said calmly. I had a feeling I knew where this was going.

"Listen Jake…" He began. Here we go. I thought "You need to be careful. You know who her parents are and for now it seems as though they want to keep her from knowing you. Do they know she has been coming here and hanging out with you?" He asked me. I shrugged. I doubted Edward especially would be super protective over his daughter.

"Dad, I can handle this." I told him confidently. He had always been like this. First when Bella was with Edward and now that I wanted to be with Nessie.

"Just be careful Jacob I don't like the prospect of the two of you." I nodded and left the room.

Bella's 3rd person POV

"Edward, I don't understand why Nessie can't hang out with Jacob. I mean him and I use to be best friends." Bella spoke to her husband.

"I know but Bella but I just don't think we should get her mixed up in things. We have done well keeping the past behind us. I just want her to be protected."

"He did imprint on her." Bella said.

"Well I just don't want her around the guy ok Bella."

She nodded. Bella loved Edward and would always support him in his decisions even when it came to Nessie not hanging out with Jake. It was true that she did find the prospect of her daughter spending so much time with Jake seemed odd and unnerving.

"I guess your right. We should just keep them apart as much as possible, but at least let them see one another at school occasionally."

"Exactly." Replied Edward.

"I just feel very… protective over her."

Bella smiled remembering how he had one sad that about her. He was still protective but much less considering that she was now almost invincible.

Reneesmee's POV

So far my parents had no idea Jake and I had been hanging out so much but I knew the day would come when they would find out and it would not be a good day. It all started one day when I was hanging out with Jake. We were out at the garage talking and working on his car.

"So I need this new piece for your motorcycle. It got a little banged up last time you crashed it." Jake laughed.

"My motorcycle."

"Well it is pretty much yours." He replied.

"Wow! Cool, thanks."

"Anyways I know you wanted to ride it today but we can't until we get a new part and the one we need is not so easy to find."

"Right well…. I thought of the allowance that constantly burned a whole in my purse. I didn't spend money very often even though our family had an abundance of it.

"Well I will buy it. I mean after all it is MY bike."

His eyes grew slightly.

"Nessie this piece is rather expensive."

"I don't mind trust me I am not short on cash." I spoke honestly. "But can we get the piece today so we can come back and ride."

"Yeah it is pretty easy to install once we have it." He replied.

"K let's take my car then!" I said and we walked out of the garage. We headed up the road for about a half hour and then stopped at a little mechanic place. It only took Jacob about a minute to find what he needed. I pulled out the cash and found that the part was only about 50 bucks which for me was practically nothing.

"Wow, thanks!" Jake said.

"Like you said, it's basically my bike so I'll pay to fix it up. Plus my parents give me a pretty good allowance and I hardly ever spend money."

"Well this is pretty awesome."

We got back to his house and fixed up my bike. We talked and Jacob asked me more about my family.

"Do you know them?" I abruptly asked. After he had asked me about each member. I had a feeling he really knew my family although he wasn't saying so.

"Um, I know who they are. I mean I see them at school every day."

I smiled and laughed just a little before continuing. "No, I mean do you personally know them?" I had wanted to ask this question for so long.

He hesitated slightly before answering "no, they won't talk to me at school."

"Oh well, I guess they are just very protective of me at school." I knew something was going on but I dropped it.

"Is he ready?" I asked.

"Yeah, let's go!" Jake and I pulled the bikes from the garage and out into the clear area a little way off from the house. Just as I was getting on to my bike I heard a voice that made me freeze in place.

"Reneesmee." He said. "It's time to go." I turned around and came face to face with my both my father and my mother. I looked at Jake who was almost in a defensive position until his eyes flicked to my mother. Their eyes met and he stood up straight.

"Reneesmee you heard your father let's go." My eyes widened and I wondered if I was in a dream. Had they really just said they were my parents, no one was suppose to know that. I didn't move, and I think even if I tried I wouldn't have been able to. Things suddenly got dramatically worse when Seth came running up to Jake. In a second he noticed my parents and before I could say anything he was no longer there but in his place was a wolf. Just seconds later several more of them surrounded us. Their backs were hunched and their teeth bore. I looked at Jake again; he made a slight shake of his head and the wolves backed off.

"Reneemsee!" I heard my fathers voice again but this time much more sharp. "Let's go." Again I saw Jake and my mother's eyes meet.

"Sorry Jake." She shrugged but her words had more meaning to them then simply what she had said.

"Go Nessie." Jake whispered to me. I was shocked for a moment and stared at him in disbelief.

"You can't be here." He said slightly louder. "Just go!" I closed my jaw, which had slightly dropped, and I took off into the woods running at full speed. I knew I had a head start on my parents because they weren't expecting it, but I didn't know how much of one. I wanted to know what was going on but I also wanted to be left a lone. I tore through the woods until I reached the small lodge behind the family's larger house. It was where my parents had lived when I was a baby but they had moved back into the family's house, as I got older. Now this was a place where I could go during times like this. Times when I just wanted my family to leave me a lone. I locked all the doors and ran up to the small room that had once been mine. I knew locked doors wouldn't stop my parents from getting in but I also knew they would give me my privacy. What in the world was going on? Why did my parents admit to Jake who they were, and why had Jake been lying when he said he didn't personally know them? Obviously him and my mom knew each other, but my biggest question was what the hell was going on with all the wolves. Were they shape-shifters?

K guys hope you enjoyed! Please let me know what you think. Thanks!!!!!
