"Hey, you still awake?" Jacob asked, poking his head into my room at the cottage. It was the night after everyone had gathered for the fight. I sat up in bed.
"Yeah, I'm awake… Why?" I asked him. He walked in, flipped on the light and then sat down on the bed next to me.
"You seemed a little… off today."
"Off?" I echoed.
"Yeah. You okay?"
"Volturi Hybrids are coming to kill me and everyone I love… Just another day in the life of Renesmee Carlie Cullen…" I muttered.
"Hey, don't worry. We've handled things like this before, remember?" He tried to reassure me, pulling me into a hug. I put my head on his chest, letting his warm arms wrap around me.
"And we've always survived…" He added.
"And that just means that my luck is running out, Jacob. This time I might really die." He pulled away to look me in the eye.
"That is not going to happen, Nessie. I won't let it." He said determinedly.
"It's not just me I'm worried about! It's my brother and my cousins and my family and the pack and you!" I sobbed.
"Ness, you don't have to worry about anyone. We'll all be fine. You'll see." He tried to reassure me again. I cried against his chest for a minute before I pulled back, trying to collect myself.
"And you tried to kill me!" I blurted out. His determined expression turned to utter shock and hurt.
"What… What are you talking about?" He asked.
"Nessa?" Masen's voice came through the cottage. I hopped off the bed and hurried out into the living room to meet him, ignoring the quiet protesting of 'wait' by Jacob.
"Yeah? What's up?" I asked him, trying to keep the shake out of my voice.
"Just seeing if you were here… I'm going to bed." He told me, shoving his hands in his pockets. I nodded and pulled him into a hug.
"Goodnight, Masen." Jacob came out of my bedroom. I ignored the weird look that Masen gave me when he saw Jacob.
"I've got to get back to the pack. We'll talk about… that later." He told me. I nodded. He hurried out the door and I turned back to Masen.
"Not what it looked like. We were just saying goodnight." I told him. He gave me an 'I don't believe you' look as he edged towards his room.
"Sure, honey, whatever you need to tell yourself." I grabbed a pillow off the couch and threw it at him. He ducked into his bedroom, dodging it and laughing. I rolled my eyes and went to my own bedroom.
It was about an hour later when I heard the front door open and close. I figured it was mom and dad, coming in to check on us. I rolled out of bed, shoving my feet into my boots, and walked into the living room.
"Hey, mo-." I stopped short when I looked up. Adam.
"Expecting someone else?"
