"Renesmee?" Aro called from the other side of the door that led to my new bedroom. It was nice, the bed was huge and I practically got lost in the sheets.

"Yes Aro," I called back "You may come in if you wish."

"Very good," Said Aro as he glided in and sat next to me on my poof ball of a bed.

"Well, well. You have taken to your new room, that's good. I have brought you this. You may use it for communication if you wish." He said as he handed me a sleek laptop "I'm sure your irate parents will appreciate. Here is a credit card, if you would like anything just get it online. Marcus, is to thank for that. You can give him your gratitude later, he is off planning your little escape" rambled Aro as he laughed about the last part. He tossed me the tiny piece of plastic. "As if he thinks he can take you away from me." He chided as he stroked my face. I shrunk away from his cool hand.

"What do you mean 'my little escape'?" I asked confused. I wasn't planning anything, of course Aro would surly know if I was. "Do you really think I'm stupid enough to try to run away, Aro? I do not have any sort of death wish."

"Oh, no, no, no sweet Renesmee. I do not think that YOU would betray me. Your family, as you know, will try to come to fetch you. And my dunce of a brother, Marcus, is joining the resistance" he sighed putting his fingers to his temples like he had a headache. I smiled.

"Aro, you surly are not so dumb as to think that you can cage me here forever. I WILL go home one day. I will have my freedom. You do not own me. I will have a normal life. I won't let you ruin that for me." I said with a sweet smile that had enough vengeance in the background to give him a little fright.

"Surly, my dear sweet Renesmee, you know me enough to know that that is not my intent." He said as he bowed gracefully out of my room. As he left I set up the laptop and logged in, hoping to catch my parents or someone online. I logged into my Msn account and I squealed as a little box opened up.

Inlovewithagirl: Nessie! Oh Nessie is that you?

Halfbreed: Nahuel! Oh I am so happy to talk to you! I've missed you so much!

Inlovewithagirl: Are you hurt?

Halfbreed: No! Aro wouldn't let anyone hurt me. Please tell my dad to not do anything rash. I heard him talking to Aro. It's just not safe for them to start a war over me. It happened once and I just won't let it happen again!

Inlovewithagirl: I can't do that Ness, we all are coming to save you, no matter what you, Aro or anyone says. We have the advantage. Aro won't admit it but it's a fact that we have more skill and power on our side.

Halfbreed: Oh Nahuel. Could you ever forgive me for all that I've done to you? I feel so rotten.

Inlovewithagirl: What are you talking about Renesmee Carlie Cullen? How could I forgive you when there is nothing to forgive you for? I am just so relieved that you are okay. God, Nessie I miss you so much!

Halfbreed: Oh, Nahuel. I miss you too. What did I ever do to deserve someone like you in my life?

Inlovewithagirl: You deserve way better, but I suppose you'll have to settle with me. =]

Halfbreed: I wish for just this moment that you could see yourself through my eyes Nahuel. There is no way that I am the one settling. I love you Nahuel. Forever and always.

Inlovewithagirl: You have no idea how long I've waited to hear that Renesmee Cullen. I have and will always love you. And listen to me. I promise to be the one to carry you out of that blasted Italian city. I swear on my own life.

I sat there, my heart was pounding. Did I really just tell Nahuel that I love him? Of course it was true but even now after admitting it to him I felt so confused my head was bound to explode. My heart ripped into two separate parts. The part that stayed loyal to Jacob, my imprinter, and the other part that loved Nahuel. The Nahuel side rejoiced while the part that was still loyal to Jake screamed at me.

Halfbreed: what is the matter with me Nahuel? How can I love you both at the same time? It's not fair to either of you. I am a rotten person. I cannot believe that you don't hate me. I don't deserve either of you!

Inlovewithagirl: Nessie, there is nothing wrong with you. I DON'T hate you, and you deserve whatever or whoever makes you happy. Whether that is Jacob Black, or me. All I want is for you to be happy. Of course I'll always hope that you choose me over him, but if he is who you want then be with him. I'll never leave, no matter what you choose.

Tears streamed down my cheeks as I continued to read that. My heart broke and glowed at the same time as I tried to make sense of what he was saying to me. How could he say that to me when all I wanted was for him to shout and cuss at me. At least I could comprehend his anger. His acceptance baffled me and all I wanted to do was to run back to Aurora and hug him close.

Halfbreed:I love you.

Inlovewithagirl: Love you more. ;]

Halfbreed: Hold on. I'm going to call the house. I need to speak with my father.

Inlovewithagirl: Wait Ness. I have to warn you. Jacob Black is here. When he finds out about this conversation we both know what he will do.

Halfbreed: Yes. Maybe you should go up to Denali. Tanya won't mind. Tell her I asked. With Jacob's temper issues I don't trust him around you. I'll call now.

Jacob Black's P.O.V

I sat in the couch with Bella. I rubbed her arms as she sat silently and stared blankly at the wall. Edward glanced at her worriedly.

"Edward, man. You need to go feed, your eyes are dark as night" I sighed, already knowing what his answer would be.

"Jacob, there is no way I'm leaving her here while she is this way" He said annoyed. I rolled my eyes.

"Do you honestly think I couldn't handle anything she could throw at me? Not that she does much now a days." I said, trying to convince him to just leave already. He could have gone and been back during the time we spent arguing over it. Nahuel came down the stairs, disgusting imprintee stealer. He made his infatuation with Nessie all too clear, while she was here and even while she was gone. Does that twerp realize how close I am to just snapping and ringing his scrawny little neck?

"Now Jacob, do you really want Renesmee any more upset with you than she already is?" asked Edward as he read my hostile thoughts. I sighed and went back to rubbing Bella's arms, trying to get her to recover from her cationic state.

"I was just talking with Ness, she'll be calling any moment now. She said that she's safe and that Aro is guarding her like a dog with a bone……"Nahuel said as he was interrupted by the shrill wail of the phone. Edward was at the phone before the first ring was half way done and I heard my sweet Nessie's voice on the other end. Edward played 20 questions with her about her health and then he turned the phone over to Bella who had her shaking hand reached out to the phone.

"Renenesmee? Oh, baby. Are you okay?" Bella asked. She straightened up and even smiled a little as her daughter's voice registered with her. Nessie told Bella that she was being treated fairly and that she missed everyone terribly. I closed my eyes and just listened to the peel of bells as my Nessie talked. A tear welled up and spilled over the side as I sat in wonder listing to the voice that I had missed so much. Nessie, my dear, sweet, beautiful Nessie.

"Mom, I need to talk to Jake. Please give the phone to him. I love you, I'll call again soon. Bye Mom." She said as Bella handed me the phone with a little smile. I grinned as I took the phone in my overly large hand.

"Nessie?" I asked. I used my other hand to rub my tired face as I talked to my personal miracle.

"Jacob, please listen to me."

"Wait, I need to know. Are you still mad at me?" I asked worriedly. I had so much to make up for, but it was going to be a lot easier if she didn't hang up on me every time I called her.

"How could I be? I'm stuck here. I have bigger things to worry about Jake. So consider this a get out of jail free card." She laughed.

"God, it's so good to hear your voice Nessie."

"Yeah, you too. But Jake, listen to me. I need you to promise me something." She said nervously.

"Yeah, anything hun." I said, I saw Nahuel flinch when I called her 'hun'. I glared at him while I waited for Ness to continue.

"Please look after my family, and please, don't hurt Nahuel. No matter what he says or anything? I couldn't bear it if either of you got hurt fighting over me. So promise?" She said. I shook with anger. She wanted me to promise that I wouldn't beat the snot out of the twerp who was trying to steal my true love?

"Are you joking? You want me to stand idly by while he tries to steal you from me? Not likely Nessie, c'mon. Get Real." I laughed as my hands shook.

"That's exactly what I want you to do! Anyways, just because you IMPRINTED on me doesn't mean I don't get to choose who I love! I love you, and I love Nahuel!" She yelled. I heard everyone around me gasp as I listened to Nessie cover her mouth, her fingers hit her lips with a high pitched pop that was nearly covered with the pop of my clothes exploding. I felt the phone drop from a hand that was now a huge paw. I growled furiously as I dashed at my target. Everything seemed to be going in slow-motion as I ran forward. Nahuel's eyes got wide as he dashed away from my leap. I crashed into a table and I dug my hard nails into the floor and shot in the opposite direction toward the door. I pushed my way through the wall and I found myself falling suddenly as Edward snarled and crashed into me.

"Come ON wolf man! Is that the best you've got? You're PATHETIC!" Nahuel yelled at me as fire coursed through my body. My anger welled up as I got back up. "Edward, get away. If it's a fight he wants, then I'll give it to him. May the best man win, pup." He said, quoting Edward from years ago. Edward roared as he yelled at us both.

"WILL YOU BOTH STOP IT! WHAT IS THIS REALLY ABOUT? RENESMEE OR PRIDE?" Bella stood next to him, holding his arm back in restraint. His black eyes were furious as he stared at us both.

"Is this a JOKE? Edward, this isn't about anything other than your daughter!" I yelled as I transformed back into a human. I clenched my hands into tight fists. Bella dashed off to fetch me some clothes while I stood there. Why does this keep happening to me? First with Bella and now with Nessie? What rotten luck. Those damn vampires keep taking my love away!

I turned to glare at Nahuel as I noticed that he was glaring back. In a flash he was right next to me. His hand grabbed me by the throat and I was hoisted into the air. I grabbed his hand as he stared coldly into my eyes.

"I'll be damned if I let you hurt her one more day you mangy mutt. You don't deserve her! How could you have left her like that! She loved you and you went and stabbed her in the back. Do you know what it's like to see the woman you love talk about someone else like he is her whole world? Well, now. I suppose you do! I love Renesmee, and I swear on my life, that I will never let you hurt her again. Haven't you done enough damage?" He growled at me. The hate in his eyes was bewildering yet I understood exactly how he felt. I remembered long ago, when I thought I had been in love with Bella, how much it hurt to see her cry and be broken over someone. How much it hurt to have her not love me. A tear escaped my eye as he dropped me to the ground and I curled up into a tight ball. Was it possible that he was right? I already knew Nessie deserved so much more than what I could give her, but could I be hurting her the way that Edward had hurt Bella so many years ago. Bella appeared with my new clothes and then she disappeared into the house with the rest of them to clean the mess that I had made. As I laid there, on the cold hard ground, all I could think was that Nessie loved someone else. That because I had left that someone else had taken my place. When will I ever learn?
