Alice:

I shook Jasper, who had his eyes closed. He opened them and turned to look at me. "What?" he asked. "Don't be scared, Alice. It's gonna be okay, I promise."

If I could cry, I would be sobbing for Nessie and Jake right now. I had had another vision…

Brett was about to jump at Nessie, fangs extracted. Jake flew in front of her and Brett bit him.

Jake was lying on the ground, shaking. The venom was deadly to wolves. Nessie was kneeling over him, holding his hand at her cheek. "Jake, no," she wept. "Don't leave me, don't go. I need you. I love you."

I sighed and rolled off the bed. I found Jake still asleep, and Nessie sitting on his bed, running her fingers over his face. Her eyes were full of pain and torture. She didn't want to do this to him. She didn't want him to get hurt.

"Renesmee," I whispered, and she turned to look at me. I motioned for her to come over to me, and she quietly did. We went to my empty room (Jasper was over with Emmett and Rose) and sat down on the bed. "Jake will be fine. We all will," I assured her.

Nessie was dressed in jeans, a green t-shirt, and her Converse sneakers. Her copper curls were tamed slightly with the help of a pony tail. She bit her lip. "I hope so, Alice. I love him. I love him more than word's can say."

"He's awake," I told her gently.

Nessie:

Jake yawned and sat up. It was Monday. Time for the battle in the forest. I wasn't ready. I never would be. Jacob looked at me and leaned forward, pressing his forehead to mine. "Ness, I'm trying to read your mind, but all I'm hearing is that song we sang to at the dance."

"Sorry," I mumbled. I was trying to think of all of the happy memories for now. In a way, it kept all the bad thoughts out of my mind. "We have to leave soon. We're running."

"Wanna ride on my back?" he asked sweetly. I loved riding on Jake's back. It was so much more fun than running myself. As we went out in the hall, I caught sight of Jasper sliding a lighter in his pocket. Later on, it would start the fire to burn the enemy.

Jake phased and I crawled onto his back, clutching as tight as I could without strangling him. We ran through the woods until we reached the clearing. They weren't there yet, and I couldn't help but wish they had decided to not show up. But Alice had a vision of them coming in 3 minutes, so my dreams were shattered. Jake phased back and as soon as he did, I threw myself into his arms.

I kissed him over and over feverishly, praying that he would be alright. His kisses back to me were tender and I realized we only had 1 more minute. I gave him one last, long kiss. And then we turned, ready to face the Brewer family.
