Jacob POV

It was midnight and I was about to fall over from exhaustion, until I walked into the Cullen mansion and saw

Nahuel.

My eyes went wide. He looked absolutely horrible. His arm was in a full cast, he had crutches for what looked like a sprained leg, and they were cuts and bruises all over his body.

How did he get here?

Nessie was laying on the couch opposite of Nahuel. She had bags under her eyes and it looked as if she were crying.

As soon as Nahuel saw me, he started talking.

"You're probably wondering why I'm back so soon."

I scratched the back of my head. "Uh, yeah…wait…does it have to do with Alice's…"

"Yes…It happened, the day I returned from here." He gritted his teeth together.

"Are there…any survivors?" I asked curiously.

"I'm afraid not, only my sister and I. She's sleeping in the guest room right now."

His expression was blank after that. He kind of just stared at…well…nothing.

"Who's coming? And for who? Nessie?"

He hesitated. "…The Volturi…for….Nessie."

I clenched my fists tight and forgot how to breathe for a moment. The beautiful girl sleeping peacefully on the couch was my love, my world. She was in danger.

No one was going to put a finger on her.

"Why?!" I asked fiercely. "What do they want after 6 years? Are they threatening to kill her again?!"

I was in hysterics now.

"There…is a prophecy….that involves us half-vampires, and possibly creatures like you."

"Well what is it?" I asked rudely. I wanted to know everything.

I sat down in the chair closest to him, ready to listen.

"Before they attacked, their…seeker…as they call him, stated that half-vampires can…well…breed. The Volturi are afraid, that if a male and female half-vampire come together to reproduce a vampire child, that the child could cause our secret of vampires to come out, and be a danger to society."

"But I'm a shape-shifter, they couldn't do anything to Nessie and I."

"Jacob, I wouldn't risk it. Its way too dangerous."

He was right. Nessie could still be in danger.

"You mean…that they would still…kill her anyways?" I choked out the last part.

"Yes, I'm sure. It's the Volturi, and Caius is really the one taking over all of this."

"Oh, of course, the leech who voted for her to die in the first place over 6 years ago. Well that's not going to happen again, and I'll make sure of it."

That was enough. I wanted to get Renesmee out of here as soon as possible.

Edward heard me then. He ran right up to me and blocked me from Renesmee.

"Jacob, we are planning everything out right now. Just give us a little more time."

"A little more time?!" I whispered rudely. "They could be here any minute!"

"Calm down. Alice had a clear vision, finally. They won't arrive for another week, she's sure of that."

I looked over his shoulder to Ness, then back to Edward.

"Fine, I'm giving you a week. That's it."

He sighed, frustrated. "Come Jacob. Since you and Renesmee are leaving together, I need to give you all of the information where you two are running to and who you're staying with."

He lead me upstairs to what I was guessing was Carlisle's office. Carlisle, Bella, and Esme were already in there on the computer and handling paperwork.

Edward gestured me to a chair. We both sat down and he grabbed a few papers from Carlisle's desk.

"Since it is most likely that you and Renesmee will have to run, you will run to Canada, where Carlisle has some old friends. They are just like us. They feed off of animals. We have already called them and told them the situation. They are prepared for you two."

He handed me a few papers. It was our traveling documents.

"These are the traveling documents. Your passports are ready, and so are your fake ids."

He picked up the ids off the desk and handed them to me.

"We had a close friend make those for us."

I remembered when Bella did that many years ago, back when the Volturi were coming because of Nessie. Bella prepared our traveling documents and fake ids just in case.

But I was sure that this time around we would have to run.

"But what if Canada isn't far enough?"

"We have called other people too, Canada is the closest place to run to, and from there if you have to relocate farther, then more arrangements will be made."

I listened closely when he said, "The closest place to run."

"Wait, so we are running…right before they attack?" I tensed.

"Yes. The Volturi will come, we will reason with them, and if they don't accept, then we will fight and you and Renesmee will run to Canada."

"Why can't we just leave before they come?!" I replied, frustrated.

"Because, Jacob, that would give them one more reason to attack. Once they notice that you and Renesmee are already gone, they would attack without even listening to us reason."

"Oh, so you think that's the safest route for Renesmee?" I replied harshly. "I'm not doing it like that. What if one of them happens to be on our tail when we run? Then Renesmee is in even more danger!"

He didn't say anything. He closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, thinking.

Finally, he looked up. "Then that's how we'll do it. We will just need more vampires on our side."

"Jacob," Carlisle said. "I need to see those papers."

I gave him the papers and walked out of the office down to Renesmee. I wanted to hold her, kiss her, and tell her that everything was going to be okay.

I didn't want her to worry.

I grabbed Nessie and pulled her into my arms, and let sleep take me.

***

"Good morning, beautiful." I said when I noticed she was awake.

"How long was I sleeping? Have you slept at all?" she asked.

I smiled weakly. "I slept for about an hour. You got a few good hours of sleep though."

I hesitated then.

"Ness, we need to talk."

"About what? Running?"

"Yes. Has your father told you yet?"

She looked at me, her expression calm, but serious, her deep chocolate eyes boring into mine.

"All I know is that we are running together."

"Yes, and we are running to Canada."

"Why? And When?"

"Because your father said that Carlisle has some old friends there. We are staying there until we have to relocate. And we are leaving in a few days."

She was quiet for a moment, her eyes closed. She took a few deep breaths, and then a tear started to stream down her cheek. I wiped it away.

"Ness, Nessie, everything is going to be alright. You'll be safe with me, you know that, right?"

She opened her eyes, her cheeks red. "Yes, but what about everyone else? My family? The pack? Nahuel?" Where will they go? Wait….they are….staying here? They aren't going to….fight?...Are they?"

She already knew the answer. More tears started falling, and all I could do right then and there was comfort her. What if something did happen to one of them?

Would this be our last time seeing them before we left?

Nessie POV

I wished that this wasn't real…this nightmare that I was living in. The only thing that kept me from going insane was Jacob. I wished that everything could go back to normal, that everything would go back to the days where Jacob and I would hang out on First Beach, running through the sand chasing each other down, or walking along the shore, hand in hand, or hanging out with the pack, having bonfires, seeing Claire, joking around and enjoying ourselves.

But this was reality.

Why did it have to happen like this?

I felt bad for Nahuel. For all he knew, his family was gone. All he had left was his sister.

I was guessing that we feel asleep again, because I woke up laying on Jacob's chest. He was sleeping soundly, his perfect face peaceful. As quietly as I could, I gently moved myself off of the couch and ran into the kitchen.

I didn't realize how hungry I was until then. I was sure Jacob would want something too, so to keep myself busy, I gathered up enough ingredients for pancakes for the two of us. My father came behind me and put his hands on my shoulders while I was pouring the mix into the pan.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

I wasn't sure how to answer that.

"Physically, I feel fine. Emotionally…not so fine."

He patted my back. "Everything is going to be okay."

I was fed up with the optimism. I turned and faced him. "How do you know?! Are you depending on Alice's visions?" I said sharply. "What if something happens to you? To someone else? Something bad? It will all be because of me."

He grabbed my face in his hands. "Listen to me. None of this is your fault, nor will it ever be. You never intended for this to happen, the Volturi did."

He sighed. "I'd take that pancake out soon."

I turned and saw the pancake was done. I threw it on a plate and turned back to my father.

"Okay, so when are we leaving? Me and Jacob I mean? I want an exact answer."

He hesitated. "Your mother and I decided that you and Jacob will leave tomorrow night."

It was quiet for awhile. I got that sick feeling in my stomach again. I felt the bile in my throat.

"Excuse me, I….I think I'm gonna be sick."

I ran to the bathroom and threw up.

The fact that I was leaving with Jacob scared me, because what if I never saw my parents again? The rest of my family? My friends? The Pack? If someone got hurt? If I were never able to come back again? If I had to be locked up for decades, hidden from the world?

Esme and my father were right by my side in seconds.

I leaned over the toilet, my thoughts racing. I was dizzy, sweaty, and I lost my appetite.

Esme dabbed my forehead with a cold, wet towel, trying to help me feel better.

Nothing would make me feel better now.

Jacob POV

I woke up to walk around the corner and find Nessie leaning over the toilet in the bathroom, Esme at her side.

I ran in and leaned next to her, patted her back and feeling her forehead.

"What's wrong?! Is she sick?"

Esme replied, worried. "She's worried, about everything."

I pulled Nessie into my arms, she was sobbing.

"Ness, shh, shh, Ness, don't cry."

It crushed me seeing her like this. She had a lot on her shoulders at the moment.

"I don't…wa..want…to…le..leave." She sobbed.

I patted her back, holding her tight, my head resting on hers.

"We have to love, you have to be safe. I know you don't want to leave everyone behind, but its for your safety."

"But…th…they….will…get…hu..hurt…be…because….of…me."

"No! You did not cause this to happen! This is not your fault! Please! Be reasonable!"

She sobbed, crying harder. She held me tightly, clenching my shirt and buried her face in my neck.

Esme stared sadly, she left and came back with 2 glasses of water.

"Thank you." I whispered.

She left us. Nessie's sobs got quieter, and soon I wasn't sure if she fell asleep. She was breathing quietly.

"Ness?" I rubbed her back. "I love you. Please don't cry. It hurts to see you in so much pain."

She looked up, her eyes tear stained and puffy.

"I love you too."

We sat there for about an hour. Renesmee was silent, her breathing even and quiet.

"Jacob…we should start packing. Say our goodbyes. My father said we are leaving tomorrow night." She said sadly.

"Okay. Let me go tell the pack. I'll be back before you know it." I kissed her head.

"Okay then." She replied. After a minute we got up and I went off to tell the pack the news.

Nessie POV

I felt lifeless. I wanted this to be a dream that I could wake up from and never dream of again, but I couldn't come out of it, or make it go away.

I went up to my room and gathered my clothes that I brought with me from the cottage.

I went to go brush my teeth. I then splashed water on my face and looked at myself in the mirror.

My eyes were still splotchy from crying. Though I got enough sleep, there were still bags under my eyes.

I sighed, grabbing my toothbrush and my other toiletries and threw them in my travel bag.

I took my laptop from the end table and packed that too.

I was set.

Jacob POV

I ran into the forest and phased, on my way to tell the pack that I was leaving, and to say goodbye to Billy.

I knew he would be crushed.

But I had to leave.

I heard Seth's thoughts from a distance.

"Seth? Hey, we need to call a pack meeting. As soon as possible."

"Oh, hey Jacob! I'm on patrol right now with Levi and Jared, but yeah I'll try to find them."

"Well I'm coming."

I met up with him, trying to keep the news out of my mind until the whole pack was here.

When everyone finally arrived, I started.

"Everyone…I'm leaving...with Nessie. We have to run."

Tons of thoughts ran through my mind.

"When?!" Seth and Levi both said at once.

"Dude, are you sure? And where are you running?" Jared asked.

More questions came up from everyone.

"OKAY! Calm down!" I growled. Everyone went silent.

"We are running to Canada. Carlisle has friends there who will let us stay with them. We are staying with them for now. If we have to relocate, we will. We are leaving tomorrow night." I replied sadly.

Sam sauntered over to me.

"Jacob, be safe. Keep Renesmee safe. I respect your decision to leave. I would have done the same thing if I were in that situation."

I felt deeply saddened. These were my friends. My brothers.

Now I know how Renesmee felt.

"Thanks for understanding. I should go say bye to Billy."

"Wait. I'm not letting you two run alone. I'll come along, for extra protection."

It was Embry.

"Same here." Quil answered.

"Thanks, but we'll be fine. You need to help the Cullens when the Volturi come."

"No. I'm coming no matter what you say."

"Same here."

I replied defeated. "Fine. Tommorrow night at the Cullen house. 8 P.M. Meet me there. I gotta go."

Before they could say anything else, I ran off to Billy's.

***

I reached my house and stopped. I took in the way it looked. I wanted a mental picture.

What if I never came back?

I sighed and walked in. My father was in his wheelchair by the kitchen table, apparently waiting for me. His eyes snapped up when he saw me.

"Jacob! How are you?! Is everything okay? Did anything go wrong? How's Ness doing?"

All these questions came up at once. I was getting frustrated with the questions.

I sat down next to him. "Dad…I'm leaving….with Nessie."

He was silent. He looked down, fidgeting with his hands.

"Well boy," He replied sadly. "If that's what is best for you and Renesmee, then that's what you must do."

"Dad, I'm not leaving forever. We can still talk over the phone and all. I just can't be here for awhile. Its not good for Renesmee's safety."

He looked up at me, his eyes serious. "And what are the Cullens doing about all this? The Volturi I mean? I wasn't informed well."

"They are going to fight, along with some friends they know. The pack is involved too. They just didn't want Nessie to leave without me, and I can't be without her. I want what's best for her."

His expression was sad. "Well, get your things ready."

We both went to my room and I grabbed the important stuff. I didn't want too much to carry along the way.

I hugged my father. "I love you dad, and I'll miss you."

Before I phased and ran into the woods, I took one last look at the place I used to call home.

Then I ran.

Nessie POV

Now all I had to do was wait.

I didn't like waiting. I felt like it dragged on forever.

I watched the sun set over the mountains. I watched as the sky went from blue, to orange, to purple, then black. The stars came out. If only I could wish upon a shooting star, to keep my family safe.

But there were none.

I put my head between my legs and sat by the edge of the bed on the floor. About 20 minutes passed, and I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder.

"Hey, Ness, I'm back." It was Jacob. He took me in his arms and carried me to the bed.

We layed there for awhile, silent, until my mother came in.

"I made you guys something to eat. Ness, I know you're not feeling hungry but you really should eat something." She said before I could protest.

We sat down at the table and started eating, silent. I picked at my food, eating it slowly.

Jacob was already done. He watched me eat, studying my face. I looked at him for a minute, then back to my food. I wasn't hungry anymore.

I pushed my plate away. "I'm done. Don't make me eat anymore." I said silently.

I sat there for a minute, staring at nothing, then I brought my plate to the sink and ran upstairs.

Jacob was right behind me. He pulled me into a hug and held me tight. I started sobbing again.

He brought me to the bed and held me in his arms, reminding me that everything would turn out okay.

I wasn't positive about that.
