Many many thanks to those who have followed, favourited and reviewed!

WolveyWomenRocks: I have already finished with the re-writing parts. What is left to post the remaining chapters and start on the new one. I have one more chapter to repost with me, but it's on hold until I finish writing the next chapter. It's a pain to plan how to write the details and come up with their dialogues.

Forevermore21: Thanks for reviewing! Yea, I will keep the number of flashbacks to a minmum. Anyway, enjoy~

Dream Lighting: Well, certainly, Bella will not be nice to Ren at all since she thinks that Ren is the one who ruin her so-called-happiness with Edward. As for when Jake will imprint on her, it will take a while I guess. As for now, I wish to establish the relationship of Ren and Jake, as well as Ren with some pack members like Paul and Kim. And, no, Edward will not be bringing his mate with him. He will not even meet her until he comes back to Forks. His mate (not a vampire but a Noble) will join Ren and Co. at La Push soon.

Mccarta: Thanks! Glad that you enjoy it!

And that's all I got to tell you for now.

Chapter 10 - Acquaintance with the Rectangular Device

Frankenstein's Residence

True to Frankenstein's words, he did prepare the most recently released phone for his Master the following day. The blonde had already saved everyone's number (mainly Tao's, Takeo's, M-21's and his) in the new phone. Basic settings and ringtones had also been set up on behalf of his Master. Of course, the ringtones he had selected were of Master's taste. As a devoted servant, he only wished to provide the best for his Master.

"Master," Frankenstein held the new phone with both hands and presented to the raven girl sitting on the sofa, "This is called a mobile phone. Like the telephone you have seen in the 50s, a mobile phone has the same function just that it has been made portable."

Ren eyed the device before her. Reaching out slowly for what Frankenstein claimed to be a mobile phone, Ren examined it warily. From the first glance of the device, Ren nodded to herself in satisfaction. The phone Frankenstein picked was silver in colour. Ren was not disappointed by Frankenstein as the blonde had known her to well to choose a colour that she liked. Other than that, Ren didn't see how this weird-looking object could help her. Ren stared at the screen of the phone fixatedly, expecting something to happen. But after a minute of waiting, Ren narrowed her brows in confusion when nothing happened. All she saw was the black screen of the phone.

'Is it a defect?' The raven girl thought.

Frankenstein suppressed a chuckle when he saw his Master's expression. When Master stared at the phone, she had the same hopeful expression just as when she was waiting for her Ramen to 'grow'. The blonde didn't miss the puzzled look of his Master when she realised nothing would happen to the phone in her hands. No matter how Frankenstein enjoyed his Master's cute responses, the blonde had to step in to start teaching her how to use it.

"Master," Frankenstein said softly to gain his Master's attention, "Right now, the phone is in locked mode." The blonde squatted beside her Master and pointed to the black screen of the phone before moving to the button at the bottom "This is the home button. Pressing the home button once wakes the phone if it's in the locked mode. It also gives you a quick glance at the time and date." Frankenstein pressed the button once to demonstrate.

Ren widened her eyes when she saw the screen light up. And like what Frankenstein said, the screen indeed display the time and date. To see such a small device like this accomplish this, Ren was truly amazed.

Frankenstein paused for a short moment for his Master to digest the information. A smile made its way to his face. Seeing his Master before him, Frankenstein thought he was dreaming. Even though it had been four days, Frankenstein still had to assure himself that he was not dreaming anymore. The blonde was already traumatised badly by his Master's disappearance in 3420BC and his Master's collapse after the Final Battle; he didn't think his heart could take it if anything was to happen to her again. Shaking his head to stop himself from being distracted, the blonde continued with his tutorial.

"As I have mentioned, the phone is in locked mode right now. To unlock," Frankenstein swiped his finger across the screen, "Swipe a finger across and the phone will unlock. This is the page you will see when you unlock the phone."

Ren was very focused when Frankenstein went through the steps with her. The screen magically changed by moving a finger across the screen lightly. Ren stopped herself from gasping in surprise as she knew there were more mind-blowing things this small device could accomplish.

Frankenstein was about to continue when his phone rang. Sighing at the interruption, Frankenstein excused himself from his Master politely. Frankenstein frowned when he saw the foreign number showing on the screen. Nonetheless, the blonde picked up the call.

"Dr. Lee?" A slightly hoarse voice could be heard.

Frankenstein's brows shot up in shock. When he applied for the job at Forks Hospital, the blonde resumed the use of the surname 'Lee' like what he had done in Korea. This call could only mean one thing…

"Yes?"

"A-Ah, Dr. Lee. There is an emergency. There aren't enough doctors today. I understand that you aren't supposed to start next week, but…" The person on the line sounded apologetic.

Frankenstein pinched his nose bridge and sighed. This was unexpected. The blonde's plan for the day was to spend time with his Master and ensure that she was familiarising with using the phone. But the hospital was short of staff and required his presence right now. The blonde eyed his Master in hesitation.

Ren placed the phone on her lap and reached out for her cup on the coffee table. The raven girl slowly savoured the hot tea when Frankenstein answered the phone. Feeling someone's eyes on her, Ren slowly looked at the blonde from the corner of her eyes. She had overheard the conversation and she knew the blonde had to go. Separating the cup from her lips, Ren nodded her head in approval then placed the cup back to the saucer.

"Yes, I understand. I will be there as soon as possible," Frankenstein replied before ending the call. The blonde bowed his head in shame. He was supposed to be teaching his Master but he had to put it to a stop. "Master, I am terribly sorry. I am being called in for duty-"

"Raise your head," Ren cut Frankenstein off, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. Go. Be careful on your way. " Ren knew of Frankenstein's new job here. There always priorities in life and the call from the Hospital was one. She could figure out the phone by herself, if not she could always consult the others.

Frankenstein's head shot up. Seeing the faint smile on his Master's face, the blonde felt proud of Master's concern for him. "Yes Master. I will be back soon to resume what we are doing. "

Fingers hit many keyboards at an alarming rate.

His eyes were scanning across the different screens attentively.

Tao was working on his computers as usual when he got held up by a call. The man with the bowl-haired cut instantly answered the call via his Bluetooth earpiece before resuming back to his work again.

"Tao speaking," Tao answered absently. 'Must be either Takeo or M-21…' He thought. Previously, the two had popped in in his room to ask Tao if he wanted to head out together. But Tao was too concentrated with his work that he only muffled a vague reply without paying attention to what they were saying. Tao halted his fingers slightly and frowned as he tried to recall what the two had said. 'Ah… Grocery shopping…' Tao remembered what it was about. The three of them being jobless, were free enough so they were the ones to do the house chores for the past few days. Well, Boss could also do that but he was busy with her and technically, he was the boss and he didn't need to do such domestic stuff. This was when Tao realised that Takeo and M-21 had left without him. 'They must be facing problems with the shopping…' Shrugging his shoulders in nonchalance, Tao resumed back to his typing.

"Hello?" The other person on the phone called out in hesitation.

Tao paused yet again. The voice belonged to neither Takeo nor M-21.

"Er, hey. This is Jacob, Jacob Black. I was wondering if… Ren is around…"

"Ho~" Tao grinned slyly, "You wish to speak with her?" The man couldn't let the chance to tease the kid go. 'Poor kid has it bad…'

"Er, yes. Can you pass the phone to her?" Jake asked before adding instantly, "If you don't mind that is…"

"Ho~" Tao sounded, "Look kid, I will be direct with you," Tao suddenly spoke in monotone, trying to sound stern, "What is your intention with her?"

"E-Er. I… She… I…" Jake stuttered to the sudden question.

Tao was smirking inwardly when he heard the teen's flurried response. He knew he was being bad to tease such a poor kid but he couldn't help it. It was too fun.

"I like her," Jake settled for this after stuttering for the past minute.

"Hm… Look, she is very important to us, especially to my boss. If you hurt her in any way, you will have to deal with us. Get it, kid?" Tao couldn't imagine how Frankenstein would slaughter the teen if she was hurt.

"Y-Yes!" Jake stammered.

Tao could feel the tension from the teen through the phone. Thinking that the teasing for the day was enough, Tao resumed his carefree tone. "Well, that is that. Now my lovesick teen, just hold on a moment... I will pass the phone to her."

"A-Ah, yes."

Tao shook his head in amusement as he made his way out to the living room to look for her. The personalities of the two of them were so different and it made Tao wondered how the shy teen would fare with her. Truthfully speaking, Tao was a little intimidated by her. Well, perhaps it got to do with her tittle or maybe her stoic personality. Not knowing what she was thinking, Tao was a little reserved when she was around. He couldn't help it though so he was glad Jake was present to treat her normally.

Switching from hands-free back to his phone, Tao presented the phone to the raven girl with his head slightly bowed with respect. "Jake is asking for you."

Ren was practicing locking and unlocking her phone when Tao came. Eyeing the phone in Tao's hand, Ren recalled how Frankenstein placed the phone next to his ear to talk to the person on the phone. Reaching out for Tao's phone, Ren slowly lifted it to her ear.

'Ah… The way she holds the phone… it's opposite…' Tao wanted to correct the way she held the phone but hesitated again.

"Hey," Jake greeted softly when he knew Ren had taken over the phone from Tao. When he heard Ren hummed in reply, the teen continued with his speech. "D-Do you want to hang out together? I-I mean if you have prior engagement, it's alright…"

"Hn," Ren hummed again in agreement since she was getting a little bored by herself.

"Great!" Jake cheered enthusiastically, "So, do you want me to pick you up?"

Ren frowned, "No." She didn't need help to get to Jake's house. She had been to his house twice; she was capable of going there by herself.

"A-Are you sure?" Jake asked.

"…" Ren was wondering why Jake was so unsure of that.

Tao who was standing by the side witnessed the scene. Seeing the slight frown on her face, Tao suspected something was wrong. Taking a step closer to her, Tao suggested taking over from here.

"Hey," Tao eyed the raven girl who was sipping her tea again, "Is something wrong?"

"E-Er, did I offend her or something?" Jake asked in panic, "I only asked her if she wanted me to pick her up…"

Tao raised his brows. He was surprised that the teen knew how good she was with her directions despite only meeting her twice only. After assuring the teen that she wasn't offended, Tao continued, "You don't have to worry, I guess. She got a phone now…" There was an implied meaning behind his words. He just wanted to assure the teen that he didn't need to worry that she would not get lost anymore with the help of a phone.

After the teen ended the call reluctantly, Tao turned to the raven girl again. "Do you want me to escort you there?"

Ren shot the raven man a look. Her brows twitched in slight annoyance. She didn't understand why Tao suggested that. It seemed to her that Tao doubted her ability to make her way to Jake's house safely, just like Jake. She was capable of getting to Jake's house by herself, not that she didn't appreciate the help.

Tao held back a sigh at her reluctance. He knew how well her sense of direction was… 'No choice then…' Since she insisted that she could get there by herself, Tao could only make sure she could get there smoothly. "E-Erm, let me take a look at your phone?" It came out to be more of a question instead. Tao manoeuvred the phone to the navigation application. He took the initiative to set Jake's house as the destination. La Push was a small town so it wasn't hard for him to find out the teen's address. With that, Tao showed the phone to her.

"Right now, I have turned on your GPS. With this navigation app, it will show you the directions to your destination. I have already input the kid's address as the destination in there, so you can follow the directions shown on the screen accordingly," Tao explained in what he deemed to be the simplest terms.

Ren could feel her mind overloading with the exposure of unfamiliar terms and instructions but she didn't show that. She knew what Tao was trying to say; in other words, she just had to follow the directions shown on the screen. Nodding her head to show that she understood him, Ren took back her phone to get ready to head out.

As Tao stood at the front door until she left, he couldn't help but regret his decision for letting her go by herself. But with the help of the navigation application, she wouldn't get lost, right?

Somewhere in La Push

As per Tao's instructions, Ren followed the directions pointed out by what Tao called a 'navigation app'. It was fascinating to say, to see the arrow on the screen moved as she walked.

Tao mentioned that he had already input Jake's address as the destination, so she could just follow the directions shown on the screen to reach there.

But…

It seemed…

Ren's brows were furrowed together in concentration as she stared at the wall in front of her. Well, she definitely followed the direction the app pointed out. This was the fifth time she had to halt her steps because of running into a dead end. Ren looked at her phone again to notice the arrow was now pointing to another direction. Turning on her heels, she once again departed from her current location to Jake's house.

With Jake

Jake dropped his bag on his bed and fumbled for his phone. He scrolled to Tao's number and his finger hovered above the screen. His hands were turning cold and sweat was forming on his palms. His heart was starting to beat very fast with anticipation. He made up his mind to press the call button on the screen but once again, stopped.

Jake rolled onto his bed and buried his head in his pillows.

He could hardly focus in school today. All of his thoughts were occupied by Ren, his angel. Jake didn't know when he had started to refer her as his angel. He just wanted Ren all by himself. He knew this was wrong since he wasn't anybody to Ren.

He wasn't her b-boyfriend… The teen perked up at this idea, he wouldn't mind being one. Though at the realisation that he wasn't even her friend, he felt like being slapped on the face. True, they did meet and spent time together twice, but were they considered as friends? His mind wandered to the thought of his angel smiling with a group of friends without him. He felt his chest tightened in discomfort. He didn't like the idea. He wanted to be included in her life. In order to do that, he had to be friends with Ren first.

Staring at the phone in his hand, he groaned at his cowardice. He just couldn't bring himself to call Tao. It wasn't her number, but still, he couldn't stop himself from being nervous.

Sitting upright with his legs crossed, Jake flexed his fingers and called Tao. As the phone rang, Jake was thinking of ways to start the conversation with the man.

"Tao speaking."

Jake was panicking. His mind had blanked out on him. Words were stuck at his throat.

"Hello?" Jake winced at his weak and lame greeting. Hearing the silence, Jake continued further, hoping he wouldn't sound so awkward. "Er, hey. This is Jacob, Jacob Black. I was wondering if…" Jake took a deep breath before mentioning his angel's name, "Ren is around…"

"Ho~ You wish to speak with her?"

Jake could tell that Tao was teasing him from his tone. He wondered if he was too obvious for Tao to read him so easily. "Er, yes. Can you pass the phone to her?" Jake frowned at his words. It seemed a little demanding so he spoke up in haste, "If you don't mind that is…"

"Ho~" Jake braved himself for Tao's further teasing. "Look kid," Jake straightened himself at Tao's sudden change in tone. Did he offend him earlier? "I will be direct with you. What is your intention with her?"

'To love her. To woo her. To stay by her side,' Jake wanted to say all these but refrained himself. But he found himself stuttering at the lack of words. "E-Er. I… She… I…" He scolded himself for that. Tao already knew his interest for Ren so it wouldn't hurt him to be direct with Tao. "I like her," Jake confessed with conviction.

"Hm… Look, she is very important to us,"

'She is very important to me too…' Jake added to himself.

"Especially to my boss," Jake frowned at the information. 'Who is this boss-'

"If you hurt her in any way,"

'I will never hurt my angel!' Jake roared in his mind. He had instantly forgone the identity of the boss Tao was referring to.

"You will have to deal with us. Get it, kid?"

Jake gulped. He didn't want to find out who was the 'us' Tao was referring to. "Y-Yes!"

"Well, that is that. Now my lovesick teen,"

Jake narrowed his brows. It was true that he missed Ren a lot, so much that he was thinking about her almost every minute in his life. Lovesick? Was he one?

"Just hold on a moment… I will pass the phone to her."

Jake's heart soared. He could feel himself heating up at the thought of her voice. "A-Ah, yes." It was then Jake realised, Ren was capturing his heart faster than he knew. He was falling hard for her. Well, that explained what he had been feeling for the past few days. He felt like smacking himself by the head for not realising earlier.

When he heard Tao addressing Ren and the shuffle of movements, Jake knew that Ren had taken over the phone. "Hey," Jake grinned happily, "D-Do you want to hang out together?" Jake quickly added when he realised that Ren didn't have the obligation to spend all her time with him, "I-I mean if you have prior engagement, it's alright…"

"Hn…"

Jake knew that if anyone was to stumble in his room, said person would probably think that Jake was mad, for he was grinning like a fool. Even though it was a short response from Ren, Jake felt like cheering at hearing her voice. "Great!" Jake didn't have any place in mind but he thought he could always think on the spot. He just wanted to see his angel fast. Then, the teen remembered how Ren had gotten lost when making her way to his house. He didn't want his angel to experience that again so he volunteered to pick her up.

"No."

Jake was freaked out at Ren's immediate dismissal. Did he offend Ren in any way? When he asked if Ren was certain about her decision, he was answered with Ren's silence. Jake buried his face in his hand. He just had to screw this up, wasn't it?

"Hey," It was no longer Ren's voice, "Is something wrong?"

Jake's head shot up in fear. He messed up so badly that Ren didn't even want to talk to him. Even after Tao ended the call after ensuring Jake that Ren wasn't offended in the least, Jake wasn't convinced at all. The teen doubted that Ren would turn up to meet him.

As of right now, the teen had settled himself on the sofa with his head buried in his hands. His doubt was turning into reality when Ren didn't show up after four hours. Jake was sure Ren was mad with him. He cringed as he imagined Ren's cold crimson eyes refusing to look at him. It was like a part of him had died. His sulking was interrupted when a knock on the door resounded throughout the house.

Jake didn't want to move since he was in no mood to. Billy had gone fishing with Harry so the person at the door wouldn't be looking for his dad when his dad was out. It wouldn't be Quil or Embry since they would just let themselves in like always. So the only possibility would be salesperson who Jake wanted to deal with the least at the moment. 'Unless…it's her…' Jake sprang to his feet as he ran to the door. He hoped that Ren would still be at the door when he made it. He didn't want his angel to leave just because she thought no one was at home to answer the door.

Opening the door at such a force that almost detached it from its hinges, Jake finally saw his angel. Tears of relief were welling in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel this emotional at the sight of her. He thought he had messed things up. Not caring a thing, Jake only wanted to reassure himself. Jake threw his hands around her waist and hugged her to his chest. Burying his nose in her hair, Jake took in her scent and calmed himself.

"I thought you aren't coming…" Jake muttered.

Ren didn't miss the sullen look when Jake first opened the door. She wondered what happened to the teen before her. Before she could react, Jake had pulled her into his arms. When Jake said that, Ren could feel her heart aching at his tone. Hesitantly, she lifted her hand and hugged the teen back.

"The navigation app," Ren pronounced the two foreign words in uncertainty, "misguided me…"

Jake pulled away to take a look at Ren when she said that. He furrowed his brows in confusion before letting his eyes wandered to the phone in her hand. The teen brought Ren's hand closer to him and examined said phone. The screen was still displaying the page to the navigation. Jake let out the breath he didn't know he was holding. He felt as if a large boulder had lifted off him when he realised Ren wasn't angry at him. She was just getting lost again…

'Wait… Lost?!'

His brows twitched. Jake could only eye the girl and the phone in front of him in disbelief. He thought that Ren would not have gotten lost if she had a phone but it seemed it wasn't the case.

Placing both of his hands on Ren's shoulder, Jake crouched down a little to meet the crimson eyes of Ren. Staring into her eyes, Jake for once didn't blush at the sight of her. "I will be picking you up in the future," Jake declared. He didn't want Ren to be lost again. Who knew what would happen when she was trying to find her way.

Ren's eyes widened at Jake's demanding tone. Why would he need to pick her up when she was capable of going to his house by herself? "No-" Ren's protest was cut off when she was pulled into Jake's arms again.

"No. You are not getting lost again," Jake hugged Ren closer to himself. "You don't know how worried I was when you took so long…" Jake whispered to himself though Ren could hear that clearly.

Ren's heart leapt when Jake whispered the last part to himself. She soon found herself nodding to Jake's request.

Jake loosened his hold on Ren for her to pull away. Glad that Ren was before him, the teen could feel the blush creeping back to his cheeks again. He looked to the side to hide his blush. "Come on, let's head in," Jake then reached out for Ren's hand and led her in.

After making a cup of hot chocolate for Ren, the two of them took a seat in the living room. Jake realised that they were in his house alone… He gulped at that thought. Clearing his throat, he wanted to distract himself before his imagination ran wild.

"You have finally gotten a phone," Jake remembered mentioning about getting a phone to her the day before. He didn't expect her to get it the next day.

Ren nodded her head in response. It was all thanks to Frankenstein that she could get a phone. Ren took a note to herself to thank the blonde later.

"So what's your number?" Jake didn't want to call Tao to talk to Ren again. It was embarrassing to have an adult know of his interest for Ren.

'Number?' Ren had no idea what number Jake was referring to. Frankenstein didn't teach her anything other than locking and unlocking her phone. She gave the teen a blank stare instead.

'She doesn't know…' Jake found himself knowing Ren too well. Seeing her blank stare Jake knew what she meant. Jake resisted the urge to pinch the cheeks of a clueless-looking Ren.

"Well, I guess I have to step up here… Let me see that," Jake reached over for Ren's phone. "I'll make sure that you become an expert with this thing. First I'll call my phone using yours…" Jake dialled his number and not long, his phone rang with a foreign number on display. "Is it this? So this is your number?" Jake ended the call on Ren's phone and saved his number in Ren's phone. Switching to his phone, Jake saved the foreign number under Ren's name in his contacts. Jake then scrolled to the contact lists in Ren's phone and showed it to Ren. "Our names are listed next to our numbers so you can just dial that. This is how you call…" Jake pressed the call button next to his name.

Ren was amazed when Jake's phone rang seconds later. This little device sure was fascinating.

"Ah right," Jake recalled something he had missed out, "We can also send a text message. If you want to send one…" Jake showed Ren the method step by step. "Then you send it to whoever you want to receive the message. Simple right? If you don't feel like calling, you can still talk to someone with it." Jake finished his mini tutorial and eyed the raven girl before her. The way she puffed her cheeks slightly when she was concentrating on her phone was too cute. Jake couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. "Come on, give it a go."

At Jake's encouragement, Ren tried to type a text message. She went through the steps Jake had shown her very slowly to ensure that no mistakes were made. After Ren finished composing and sending them, she looked up in triumph. To her surprise, she was only inches away from Jake's face.

Jake just happened to turn to look at Ren after giving her some privacy when she was composing a text message. He didn't expect their faces to be so close together. He could even feel Ren's breath on his face. Jake darted his eyes from Ren's eyes to her lips. Jake could remember he was also this close to Ren's face when he first met her on the beach. He wondered how Ren's lips tasted like. Jake fluttered his eyes closed as he crept closer to Ren's lips.

With Frankenstein

Frankenstein let out a sigh as he crashed onto his seat in his office. The nurse who called him wasn't kidding when she said that the hospital was short of staff for the day. The blonde had been undergoing surgeries for the past five hours. This was the first break he had after leaving Master at home.

The blonde removed the reading glasses that rested on his nose bridge. Leaning back on his chair, the blonde closed his eyes and sighed in tiredness again. He almost dosed off if it wasn't for his text message alert.

"Hmm?"

Frankenstein, good job~ good job~

-Master

Frankenstein could feel fatigue leaving him. Seeing Master's text message had energised the blonde. He certainly didn't teach Master how to send a text message yet. Unless Master figured it all out by herself…

The blonde felt his heart swelling in pride at the thought.

"Master…" The blonde looked at the text message again, "But the wording is a bit…"

Ren had also sent similar text messages to Tao, Takeo and M-21, though the latter two were wondering who it was as they made their way home with the groceries.

A/N: So will Jake and Ren share their first kiss?

As you can see, Ren possesses no knowledge whatsoever regarding the 21st century. She tends to be lost and confused especially when interacting with modern day technology such as mobile phones. So expect many epic moments due to her inability to use technology.
