I am so so so sorry for the posting mix up. You all got the update for chapter 12 but it was actually chapter 9. Again, so very sorry. As penance, I shall not sleep with my Edward pillow. That will teach me.*NOTE* Stephanie Meyer created Twilight.

Finn and Renesmee kissin' in the woods

If Jake finds out it won't be good!

I saw the movie Step Up 3D today…it was not good. What was good was the trailer for the movie "Burlesque". Everyone's favorite Twilight bad boy Cam Gigandet (James) is like one of the main characters. I don't know if he sings in it, but he is super sexy so does it matter? LOL.

"luv2beloved" I dubbed thee my #1 fan, but "ebonyjorgieriggs" is my best fan. And shout out to "Maddi Ross", "emzy94" and "jemmac77", my newest fans.

Leave me reviews letting me know what you think of the story. Whenever I get a good review I feel like dancing like they did in "Step Up" and "Step Up 2: Step Up 2 the Streets". But not Step Up 3D…That kind of dancing I save for the bad reviews.

Chapter 12

My hands began to tremble so hard that I twisted them into fists, fighting with everything I had not to punch Finn. With my strength, I end up crushing his face, and then feel really bad about it, not that he didn't deserve a paranormal pounding.

After what seemed like an hour, Finn released me with a dopey smile on his face, so proud of what he had just done. I needed to put some space between us before he tried to kiss me again. If that happened I wouldn't be able to stop myself from harming him. He waited for me to speak, to respond in some way to what he had done. I'd had no intention of ever speaking to him again when I saw that his black eye wasn't as noticeable as it had been before.

He had faked the injury! He probably used some of Quinn's makeup to make me feel sorry for him.

"I can't believe you!" I turned and started to walk straight through the wooded area instead of taking the curved path to the house.

"Don't be like that Ness," he managed to catch up to walk beside me. "You can't tell me that you haven't at least thought about the possibility of us? I mean just today we made plans to go on a date."

I swung around and poked him in the chest as hard as I could without stabbing him in the heart, "Are you serious? You listen to me Finnegan Foster, my first kiss was supposed to be sweet and romantic and it sure as hell was not supposed to be with you!"

"Wait a minute. Are you telling me that you and Jack have never kissed?"

"His name is Jake! And whether I have or have not kissed him is none of your business!"

Finn sped up until he could stand in front of me, forcing me to stop.

"Go away Finn."

"I thought you were going to get your dad to check me over. Make sure I don't have brain damage."

My heart was breaking and he was smiling. I felt like I was losing the only friend I had as I fought to keep the tears that were threatening to fall from leaving my eyes.

The smile left Finn's face and was replaced with shame. "Ness, I'm an idiot. I'm sorry. Please don't cry."

He reached out to touch my face, only to have me push his arm away. "Don't touch me Finn."

Finn opened his mouth, but no sound came out. All color drained from his face as he stared at something behind me. "Don't move Ness," he rasped out.

Ignoring him completely, I turned around to see Leah in wolf form growling. She had her hackles raised and was aching for a fight.

"I'll distract it," Finn whispered. "You run to your house, okay?"

Leah kept her eyes on Finn and was still growling as I approached.

"No Ness, don't!" Finn warned.

He was ready to grab me and run until I began to pet the wolf's head. I heard him breathe a sigh a relief as Leah crouched down next to me nuzzling her head to my touch.

"Oh shit, Ness," he sighed with relief, "you didn't tell me you had a dog. Hey fella," he leaned down next to Leah only to have her snap at him when he attempted to pet her. Or maybe it had something to do with the fact that he called her "fella"?

"Yeah well, now you know. So I suggest that if you don't want to get mauled that you leave." I refused to look him in the eye.

"Maybe you're right," his voice trembled as Leah continued to growl. "I'll see you tomorrow?"

"I don't think you should come around for awhile Finn." It broke my heart to say the words, but he wanted something from me that I just couldn't give.

"Yeah," he said with defeat in his voice. "I get it. Goodbye Ness." Finn turned and disappeared through trees.

It was ten minutes before I spoke. I told myself that it was because I wanted to be sure Finn was gone, but the truth was if I spoke at that moment then I would start to cry.

"You okay hon?" Leah had phased in her human form.

"Thanks for coming to my rescue…yet again."

"Don't worry about it princess," she was pulling on the sundress she had tied to her leg. "I'm pretty sure this was the type of thing Jacob wanted me to protect you from."

"What do you mean?"

"Nessie it was only a matter of time before you managed to find friends, some of them being of the male persuasion. And seeing as how you aren't exactly a harpy one or more of them were bound to fall for you." She smiled and I cried.

"I didn't mean to make him like me."

"Oh sweetheart," she gave me a hug. "It's not your fault if he's got a crush on you. You're a beautiful young woman. It's not his fault either. You can't help who you fall in love with. I mean look at me."

"You mean because of the whole Sam thing," I guessed.

"Yeah," she said with a far off look. "Come on, you ready to go home?"

The word yes was on my lips when I heard a car speeding up the drive.

Alice and Jasper had come home.

Forgetting Finn's assault, I raced for the house with Leah chasing after me. I couldn't wait to see them both, knowing that Jasper would help me feel better with just a touch and Alice would help just by listening. I could tell her things that I couldn't tell anyone else. She'd help me figure out how to deal with Finn.

When we got to the house Alice was yelling at Carlisle while Jasper did his best to calm her down.

"How can you say no? They're my family Carlisle, my blood family. I won't turn my black on them again."

"Alice," Carlisle said, "you need to be reasonable about this. Now is not the time to approach your family and bring them into our world. It's not safe."

"When is it ever safe?" she snapped. "I'm sorry. Their mother is dead. They're all alone, but they don't need to be."

I walked over to my mother and asked her what was happening.

"Alice and Jasper had to go to Mississippi to see a man named Jenks. He's the family's lawyer. You know how Alice was able to find her blood family?"

I nodded. Even though she couldn't have contact with any of them due to the fact that Alice Brandon died in the nineteen hundreds, she created a trust fund that had been left to her sister's daughter. It was her way of looking after her family even though she couldn't be involved. Her sister had passed away leaving behind a daughter. The money automatically went to her and any children she would ever have.

The sad part was that Alice's niece was sick mentally and had taken her own life. Alice was upset because the lawyer hadn't bothered to contact her to let her know. He also had failed to mention that she left behind two children. Their father had died in a car accident shortly after their mother. The children were twins, a boy and a girl who were sent to live a relative who had only taken them in because of the money.

For some reason the story was familiar. I had heard parts of it before.

Edward tried to come to Carlisle's aid only to be verbally attacked as well. "What if Nessie had been sent away with Jacob and you had a chance to get her back? Would you wait just because the timing was wrong?"

He didn't have an answer for that. We all knew he and Bella would get me back even if it were during the apocalypse.

Alice turned towards me and smiled. All her anger and frustration disappeared as she pulled me into a tight embrace whispering over and over, "Thank you."

The strange part was I knew why she was thanking me and it wasn't because of my gift. I had found her niece and nephew, or rather they found me. That was why the story sounded so familiar; I had heard parts of it before from Alice's nephew.

Finn.

Say what? Finn and Quinn are related to Alice? I am shocked…well okay not shocked seeing as how I wrote it. I guess this means Jake can't kill Finn should he ever find out about the kiss. Hope Alice doesn't get too mad with Nessie for sending her nephew away. I wonder what Finn will think when he finds out the only blood family he and his sister have left is a family of blood drinkers.

I'm sorry, that pun was uncalled for. It's a good thing that my stories are better than my puns.

Let me know what you think. I loves doing me some "Step Up" dancing. LOL.

CHAPTER 13 TEASER

"This is great," Rosalie beamed.

"How is this great? She told him to go away," Alice responded.

"And it really is a shame that the boy has to die seeing as how you just found him," Bella hissed.

The three of them argued over Finn's kiss and how I reacted while everyone else watched in a scared silence. Edward had tried to contribute by saying boys will be boys only to get a sharp look from my mother.

Rose thought it was great because maybe I'd somehow forget about Jacob. Alice was upset because I had gotten mad at him and sent him away. My mother was ready to kill the boy because he had forced me to kiss him.
