Zuko's POV
We went to the Cullen's house after; well it was more like a mansion. We've never been before.
Once we walked inside we heard a bone break and a loud scream.
"Carlisle and Katara are breaking her bones so she'll heal", Edward explained between screams.
Jacob was staring at the floor; he winced at every bone break and scream.
It finally stopped, Katara and Carlisle walked downstairs.
"Edward you're going to have to give her some more morphine in about an hour, her body temperature will burn it off", he spoke in monotone.
We were allowed in her room; Jacob was the first in there as I waited in the hall. Only Jacob and I went upstairs.
Then Jacob walked out, his face was in even more pain. I walked in; her room had many things, most from this time. Nothing that told what nation she was from. She was on her bed; her hair was off to the side. It was dripping hair dye on the floor. She was soaked in sweat; she had some cloth around some severe injured areas. She just had a blanket loose on her; I don't think she had anything on under.
"Hey", she let out, her voice was scratchy. "Everyone could have come in too."
"I know but can I talk to you, just me and you", I asked.
"Sure", she breathed.
"Why did you do that? Its Leah", I asked, and I ended up on my knees beside her.
"I've been asking myself that, I don't know she never really did anything to me", she said.
"Well I know that Leah feels bad, you got hurt because she was playing around."
Then she stared at the ceiling like she was reading something she carved up there years ago.
"I think I'm going to try and be friends with Leah, we actually have a lot in common", she said, eyes back at me.
"Like what", I wondered.
"Well we are both the cause of one of our parent's deaths. We are both half human .We both are frozen at an age, well I will be when I'm seven. When we are both frozen we both won't be able to have . . . kids", I could feel the awkward when she finished the sentence.
There was an awkward silence.
"So did you know that Azula was in the army", I changed the subject.
"No, was she the one I tried to attack", she asked.
"No, she was actually so scared that Edward told me that she tried to be allies", I answered.
"Azula . . . scared", she asked.
"Apparently, but the Volturi showed up and disposed her", I said it like I was relieved so Renesmee won't feel sorry for the loss of my sister.
"Okay, at least you won't have to worry about her escaping from prison", she said. Her voice was coming back to normal.
"So back at camp you were protecting me, you pushed me out of the way and the position we were in. . ."
"You were about to become her meal", she was getting a little mad.
"But think about it, you do have feelings for me, admit it."
She sighed, "Your right, I love you but not the way you love me. I- I love him more, you're going to have to except that."
I nodded, "You look tired, and I'll let you sleep. You can talk to everyone tomorrow", I said getting up.
"Can you please send Jacob back in", she asked.
I sighed and said, "Yeah."
"Oh and my dad", she said real quickly.
When I walked out in the hallway Jacob stood up from sitting on the ground Edward was already beside him. They knew they were called in.
I walked slowly down the steps. I need to have Renesmee to admit her feelings.
Everyone stared when I got down there.
"How is Renesmee", asked Toph.
"She's doing, alright, of course she will heal", I said.
Then Alice walked in. "I've decided to throw a party."
"Another party Alice", asked Emmett.
"It will be fun and we haven't had one in a while", she said.
"Well that's what you said last time", said Rosalie.
"What happened last time", asked Aang. Jasper left the room.
"It was Bella's eighteenth birthday, and she got a paper cut. At the time Jasper was the newest to try the diet. And he almost got to Bella, but Edward stopped him", said Carlisle.
"What is the occasion Alice", asked Esme.
"Well haven't we forgotten Renesmee's birthday", she said.
"Her birthday was six months ago, and I'm sure she doesn't want a party", said Emmett.
"Well it doesn't have to be for her birthday, you're just going to have to wait and see", Alice insisted.
"When is the party", asked Katara.
"Two weeks", answered Alice.
Two weeks later. . .
I had a plan; I wasn't sure how to approach it. Maybe it will come out of nowhere.
The Cullen house was the best place to have a party. Renesmee was recovered and happy with Jacob. I kind of stayed out of the way, where no one would see me.
Almost all of the tribe was here along with a few vampires the Cullens' knew. And by few I mean a lot.
Renesmee walked up to me and tried to introduce me to some of her vampire friends, I couldn't remember them all though. Renesmee and I were walking into the living room were most of the party seemed to be going on.
"Excuse I have an announcement", Jacob said on the microphone.
"Renesmee could you join me", he asked. Was he doing what I think he was doing?
He pulled something out of his pocket and got down on one knee, "Renesmee will you marry me?"
"Yes I will", she said without hesitation. Jacob slid a ring on her finger.
Renesmee's POV
I was overjoyed; I had waited for this day since I appeared to be ten.
I turned to face everyone; my eyes were stuck on Zuko. He had an angry look on his face and he ran out, no one else seemed to notice.
I looked back at Jacob, "I'll be right back."
I went to follow Zuko a little ways into the forest, "Hey wait", I called out.
"I'm done, I won't be in the way anymore", he sounded hurt.
"Zuko what are you doing", I asked.
"I need to go out there and kill something . . . or someone", he thought for a moment, "or maybe I'll just get myself killed, make it easy."
"No, don't do that", I almost shrieked.
"Why, give me a good reason", he walked a few feet toward me then stopped.
"Because I don't want to lose you. You're important in my life", I said.
"Prove it", he challenged.
I had to think, dig deep.
"Will you kiss me Zuko, and then come back", I asked, almost regretting.
"You're bluffing", he assumed.
"Try me."
He walked up to me, a half inch apart, a hand was on my lower back, and his forehead was on mine. He dove in, taking advantage of the moment. The other went under my arm and up my back to the back of my neck; only place my arms could go was around his neck.
His tongue pushed against my lips, begging for an entrance. I pulled away, "my teeth are too sharp", I breathed.
Instead of going back to my mouth he went for my jaw, it reminded me of Jacob. I'm engaged, Zuko knew that. What a minute.
I pulled away and backed up.
"You set me up", I said.
"What, no", he tried.
"Yeah you did, you weren't going to kill yourself, and you just wanted me to feel sorry and try to win me over. Well jokes on you, either way I'm still going to marry Jacob. The only people who are allowed to put that on hold is my father and Alice", I turned around and walked away.
"I wasn't trying to win you over, I was trying to make you admit you feelings", he shot back.
I turned around. "Yes I did have feelings, but I only hid them because I knew they wouldn't change anything", I said. "Let me ask you something, if you weren't trying to win me over, what were you going to do after I had admitted to no longer feelings", I asked.
He didn't say anything, after ten seconds I said, "Zuko, your one of my best friends, and I don't have many, you can ask my dad. But apparently you want to be more, I'm sorry."
"Renesmee your only five, you need to live your life, not give it up for one guy", he tried.
"I want to live my life with Jacob."
"How do you know you want to stay with Jacob?"
I took a deep breath to calm down, he just won't give up.
"I asked myself the same question four years ago. A day later, I knew I couldn't."
I walked away.
I didn't hear him follow me at first but when I got closer to the house he started walking. In house I scanned the room then spotted Jacob.
"Hey", I said before sitting down next to him.
"You okay", he asked. Did he hear anything, I'm not sure.
"Yeah I'm fine", I lied.
"You're lying, what happened", he knew me too well. I heard, and smelled Zuko enter the house.
"We'll talk about it later", I said before Alice and Katara approached us.
"Thanks for the party Alice", Jacob thanked her.
"You're welcome. Renesmee, can we be bridesmaids", Alice asked for Katara too.
"Yeah sure", before she walked away I asked, "Oh Alice, do you want to be the wedding planner?"
"Of course", she insisted.
After she walked away everyone wanted to hug me and say congratulations. After the party I went to say goodbye to my newest friends outside with my dad.
They were getting on Appa.
"Bye, I hope to see you guys at the wedding" I said.
"But I'll see you a week before. Bachelorette party", she questioned.
"Bachelorette party", I said again smiling.
Appa took off.
"I'm proud of you Nessie", he said.
"For what", I asked.
"When you were alone with Zuko, earlier, my favorite part was when you told him the only people that can put a hold on the wedding were me and Alice."
I smiled, "I liked that part too. How is Zuko", I asked.
"He'll be fine; he might be able to come to the wedding."
"Can you let me tell Jacob", I asked.
"Yeah, but he knows. He's not thinking much of it though, you know since he's engaged."
"I kind of figured."
We walked back into the house and I went to my room. Jacob was sitting on my bed looking at a picture of us about four years ago. I sat by him.
"So are really going to let Alice plan the wedding", he asked.
"Yeah you know if something goes wrong, I can blame her."
He laughed. "So earlier, when you followed Zuko out-
"I know you know, don't worry it doesn't change our wedding schedule."
He smiled down at me and kissed me once on the lips.
