6. Running

JACOB'S POV

The cold wind ruffled my fur as I stretched out my paws, thank god I had fur was all I could think at this point. I concentrated for a few minutes first shaking off the small snow drops that had landed on me as I got up, I walked behind a tree for Nessie's sake, and phased. I made sure I was fully clothed for her it was time to wake her up for school, opening the window I made sure that it didn't creak so she wouldn't wake, turning back to close it I looked to the side of me and noticed her bed was made. That's weird, I thought she must have gone over to the other house already, I sniffed around a bit before noticing a while piece of paper on her perfectly made bed. Sitting down I grabbed it and folded it open.

Dear Mom, Dad, My Jacob, and My Family,

DO NOT COME LOOKING FOR ME, I REPEAT DO NOT LOOK FOR ME! I'm running away for a while, going somewhere anywhere far away from this place to keep everyone from harm. It's been all my fault since I was born that other Vampire's were after this family, I can't live like that anymore. I have to go and make sure you are all free of this mess. I covered up my scent don't bother following it. When I know my family is out of danger is when I will return, don't look for me and don't wait when the time is right I will come home. I love you all, and for Jacob if you can't wait for me I understand find someone you don't have to watch 24/7.

Love,

Renesmee Carlie Cullen

I could feel the tears stinging my eyes, I hadn't cried in so long but this was the biggest heartbreak since Bella had rejected me.

"EDWARD, BELLA!" I called in a loud voice I had never heard me speak before hoping that they were in this house and could hear me. I tried one more time.

"EDWARD, BELLA" I still sat there not remembering how to move. I heard footsteps in the hallway and the door burst open, both Edward and Bella were standing there, I looked at them her hair was all tangled and his was a bit messed up. I rolled my eyes at the thought of what they were doing, and came back to the issue at hand.

"It's Nessie" I felt the tears roll down my cheeks, I felt like such a pansy but I didn't care she was gone the only thing that mattered in life was our love.

"Where is she Jacob where's Nessie?" Bella ran to my side as Edward grabbed the note from my hand, Bella's arms shot around my shoulders, if she could cry I could tell from her eye's that she would have been.

Edward took a gulp before he could speak, "She's gone Bells our beautiful Nessie she's gone and doesn't want to be found" he looked like he was about to cry himself. I pulled myself together a little bit so that I could comfort Bella as she grabbed the note out of his hand, reading it for herself she gasped at points where she would be crying.

"Not my baby" she cried out. My arms wrapped around her and she did the same to me.

"Bells my sweet we will find her I will make sure Carlisle and I call every family we know to look out for our little girl, I promise Bella we will get her back, Jake call Sam and anyone else in your pack, see if they can trace the scent you and I will search all over Forks and Washington she wouldn't go too far I'm sure. I know the scent is covered but I'm sure we can get something" Edward said in a panic. I nodded in response as Bella pulled away from my grip and looked up at her husband.

"Bells trust me" he responded to her look and touched her chin with his hand.

"We are going to find her do you hear me" he said she just nodded and shot up into his arms.

"Edward I'm going to Sam" As I was about to leave Alice burst into the room with the most worried look on her face.

"What's going on, Edward Bella I saw you searching for Nessie what's wrong?" she looked toward the bed at us and then responded.

"Where's Nessie?" she feared. I didn't listen to the rest of the conversation I sprinted out the window changing into form on the way it was the fastest I had ever run to the reservation besides the time I ran away myself.

Renesmee's POV

I had made it, I was way out of Washington State and well up into Canada somewhere. The snow covered side walk I was walking on led me to a decent sized city, I watched as cars zoomed past me, and the buildings went from weird rectangular housing to big buildings and lots of noise. It didn't look like that friendly of a city, as I wondered around I didn't care to know where I was I just wanted to get as far away as possible, I had hunted on my way into town making sure I wasn't too thirsty in case I encountered people. I found a bench outside of a store with a big glass window snow began to fall heavily as I sat down. I turned around to look in the window, two manikins stood in the window a male and female dressed in a beautiful dress and nice tux. I sighed and crossed my arms, I had never felt this cold in my life, I was actually cold what was wrong with me. It was only a slight bit but to me it felt like worse. I watched around as people angrily crossed the streets rushing and running into each other cars honked their horns frequently and I just watched in amazement. This was not like Forks, not one bit.

"Excuse me Miss you have been sitting here for an awfully long time, are you lost my dear?" I looked behind me there was a woman she looked to be in her mid-late 50's short golden blonde curly hair, big black rimmed glasses, and was bundled up in a tan coat. I didn't realize the time it was almost getting dark already I had been thinking about my family all day not realizing the time.

"I'm good really just passing through" I smiled at her. She was holding something in her hand it was a bag from the store behind me.

"Here, the girls and I in the store think that you may need this" I took the bag and looked inside I pulled out a black petty-coat and a pink fleece blanket.

"I can't except this really its not right" I motioned to her trying to hand the items back to her.

"Take it dear please, it will make me and the other ladies inside feel better you don't look like you have anywhere to go"

"Um… well thank you I appreciate it" I shyly put on the jacket and bundled it up for the lady and wrapped the blanket around my back.

"Please say you will stay the night at the store, I live upstairs and have an extra room, please young lady"

"I um… I really shouldn't I can sleep outside it's not"

"Don't be silly come in please" the lady had pleading eye's, what if she made me hot coco with cookies "Ew" I thought. After a minute of arguing I figured no one would come looking for me here so I might as well.

"I'll be leaving early in the morning" I warned her.

"That's fine my dear, take your journey during the day it's too cold and winter is brutal" she informed me. I smiled and followed her into the store that I had been sitting in front of all day.

Jacob's POV

I ran as fast as I could with Sam, Leah who was hesitant, and my buddy Seth, the others were sniffing out the Reservation and anything close by. I got up to the big Cullen house and shifted back to human as I made my way into the doors, I heard voices, Edwards was missing, it was mainly the girls. I looked into the living room to see Esmee Comforting Bells, Rosalie and Alice were having their own conversations trying to figure something out, Alice was trying to concentrate on if they would find her even though her thoughts were blocked by me, but she couldn't see Nessie any way what was the difference.

"Ladies" I cleared my throat as I walked in and Bella jumped.

"Oh Jake your back" Bella ran up to me and almost knocked me over with the force she grabbed me with.

"Hey Bells, how's the search going?" I looked at her she looked like a wreck.

"Hello boys can I get anyone a drink?" Esmee looked at all of us.

"No Thanks" Sam responded with a warming smile.

"Edward, Emmett, Carlisle, and Jasper went all over Washington to search, they also are going to make a few phone calls on their way, and we made sure a lot of the clans knew she was out there since everyone knows her" Bella looked upset as she pulled away. The door crashed open and I heard a familiar voice.

"BELLS, EDWARD SOMEONE" it was Charlie of course he knew.

"Oh Dad Its Ness she's gone" Bella ran to him and he took her in his arms.

"I know Edward called, I have her picture being done at the station right now, any leads on where she could have went"

"She could be anywhere, I'm so worried"

"What caused this?" he looked around the room at everyone. No one wanted to answer.

"Someone might be after the family because of her and Jake Dad, Need to know only remember"

"Bells this is killing me" Charlie pleaded with her.

"I know Dad I wish I could tell you more but I can't or else these people will come after you too" he sighed and fixed his mustache.

"Charlie, are your patrols going to search the area?" Rosalie questioned.

"I don't think she's here" I said. Charlie shot me a glance of hatred at that point.

"We're going to do everything we can, I just wanted to make sure things were okay here, if you guys need me contact me on my CB radio I know Carlisle has one so just let me know" he said kissing Bella on the head.

"Will do Charlie" Esmee stated coming back into the living room. Charlie walked out and I heard the cruiser door slam as he drove away.

Renesmee's POV

I watched as the woman pulled out the cot for me in her living room. She lived right upstairs from her shop. It was a nice store she let me try on a bunch of dresses and I loved every second of it. I twirled around in the mirror watching myself twirl like a princess. She grabbed the mattress, blankets, and some pillows for me. Her home smelled like Chocolate Chip cookies and Cinnamon. She patted the white comforter when she was done and looked at me. At this point I was staring at the window the snow was falling lighter now.

"Renesmee, it's ready for you" I turned away from the window to look at her.

"Thank you Ms. Goldman" I nodded.

"I told you it's Betsy" she reminded me. I sighed and let out a smile.

"When you leave in the morning just lock the door, you can lock it from the inside it was nice getting to know you, don't forget your jacket and blanket in the morning and good luck in your travels, go home soon honey I'm sure your parents are worried your too much of a beautiful girl to be roaming around a city" she smiled and patted my shoulder. I smiled and climbed into bed, I was tired all night and half the morning of running, then sitting in the snow made me sleepy, and trying on tons of dresses having a ball doing that. The sounds of the cars beeping were kind of like a lullaby for me, at first I couldn't sleep all I could think of was missing Jacob, and my parents, I wondered how they were doing. I felt the urge to cry and I did, I cried myself right to sleep. Although I knew that I should go home I didn't want to, I would go back east in the morning, maybe I would go check out New York I hear the bears are good eating. I smiled at the thought and fell into a deep sleep.

Jacob's POV

I paced back and forth outside the Cullen's house, I was told to stay put since the others would be back soon I sent my pack off to investigate Bella wanted me for comfort. I waited until I smelled them, Edward and the rest were coming back from their all day trip, it was now around 1am and I was getting antsy.

"Hey Jacob, how's the pack doing?" Emmett had questioned, he was the first to come into view for me.

"So far not so good, I've been phasing back and forth to check up on them, no change though" I sighed and he did too as he headed into the house I guess to find Rose. I watched as Jasper leaped forward he didn't look too happy. Then right behind them was Edward and Carlisle. Edward looked like he had no emotion I could tell this killed him.

"Hey Edward" I said to him, Carlisle headed into the house and Edward sat on the steps.

"I don't know what I did to deserve this my beautiful baby girl is out there somewhere and I can't do anything about it there is no scent not anywhere, she's one smart kid" he put his head in his hands, I sat down next to him I knew I wasn't the one that should be comforting him but I still tried.

"Hey don't give up, I know she's out there" we both looked into the distance at the hovering moon. It light up the porch and made a pathway to the Cullen house.

"Jake I can't go in there I can't let Bella see me falling apart like this or else she will do the same I don't know what else to do"

"All we can do is try, try and wait" I told him.

"Jacob I'm admitting something to you now don't you have repeat this on me years from now, I'm really torn and I've never felt this wrecked well I did once, but that was my fault, this I just… I lost her Jake" he looked at me his eye's were saddened.

"Hey man pull yourself together, I'm trying to put on a smile for Bells, she needs that, she needs to know that her baby is coming back, I wont give up Edward I will go to Canada if I have to I will search the whole United States just to find her"

"Me too" it was silent after that him and I just sat there staring up at the night sky, although I had been running around all day I didn't feel the slightest bit tired, I just wanted my Nessie safe and here in my arms.
