A/N so this is chapter 21! I'm currently working on chapter 22 as well. So the Cullens are moving back. This might seem a little bit strange, but I think its way better this way! I wasn't sure if I would bring them back to Forks or not and I kind of suddenly decided. I'm still trying to find away to bring this mysterious vampire back in... so he or she will probably appear in the next chapter which will be mostly in Nicole's POV. I know I haven't written much about her lately..
Anyway, I hope you guys are enjoying the story. This chapter was really easy to write and I wrote it all on Saturday evening... I think! Chapter 22 will probably be up tomorrow (Tuesday 26th of April) I'm not sure though. I want to get a few chapters done today since it is a Bank Holiday! I want to try and get ahead so I'm a chapter ahead of what I'm posting online.
Sorry too for the short chapter I know I'm back to my old "just over a thousand words" ways but the next few chapters will hopefully be longer.
When I heard a song yesterday on the radio I also knew that I had to write a chapter about it in the future. Either for Nicole or Nessie, but I'm not sure yet!
I hope you guys enjoy and there will be no preview at the end so I'm going to leave the next chapter a surprise for you!

Nessie's Childhood story
Chapter 21: Here we go again
Nessie's POV
Nicole was sitting at the breakfast table with me. Its Monday. I was having the best time ever. The past few days have been great. I've been having fun with my Uncle's. Shopping with my Aunts and my Mom. Playing new music on the piano with Dad. Life couldn't get any better. But tomorrow it would. For tomorrow I would be seeing Jacob for the first time in over two months. I would see my grandpa too which was great
We had called him on Saturday and told him about the move back. He was just as happy as we were
"This is unbelievable. What changed your minds? He answered into the phone after we had told him. Dad was beaming beside my mom. We were all upstairs in my Parents room talking to Grandpa Charlie.
I smiled at the memory. In truth my life-aside from the Volturi incident and the traumatic move a few months back- Has been perfect. I've been feeling strange lately. The tug on my heart is still there. Whenever I think of it though my dad gives me a look. Our expressions are similar. I can use that look its the what-the-hell? look
"Nessie? Hello Earth to Ness" Nicole waved her hand in front of me breaking my trance
"Sorry what?" I asked
"Grandpa is looking for you something about a breakthrough with your growth" She simply said
I got up and ran upstairs to my fathers office. I knocked on the door. Grandpa was nearly always here with my father.
"Come in" My father called
I came in timidly as I wasn't sure what to expect
"Well?" I asked
"We've tracked your aging and your going to age like any normal human until your the age of about eighteen" Grandpa said
I wasn't sure if this was a good or bad thing.
"Is that good?" I asked
"I think so" Grandpa said smiling
I wasn't really sure about my future or being a teenager. I know for most people it means out of control hormones. I couldn't deal with that if I was aging the way I used to age. I would be a freak then for sure
"Okay then" I mumbled. I felt slightly awkward. I didn't' know what to say. I didn't really know if this was a good or bad thing.
"Its good Ness" Dad approved.
"If you say so..."
"I like Alaska but I love Forks. Even though I will miss it here" Nicole said looking out her window for the final time
"I'm sure we'll be back in a few decades" Alice said pulling a brush through my hair
"Yeah its pretty here" I admitted
"But Jake is in Forks" Alice finished
"You know me too well" I admitted sheepishly
"I'm going to be a sophomore this year though back with my friends!" Nicole squeaked and I chuckled at her
"Yeah it will be good to be back . I'd love to run into Mike Newton. Wouldn't you Rose?" Alice asked
"Yeah I'd love to see his face when he sees we haven't aged at all. By rights we should be like twenty one or something" Rosalie mumbled laughing at the end. Rosalie was getting close to her eightieth birthday
"Rosalie your going to be like eighty soon" I said shaking my head slightly
"Yeah so what does it matter" She said
Its 900 air miles form Juneau to Seattle. So it is about a two day drive. We need stop offs because of me. Because I need sleep.
We were half way through the journey when I got a text from Jake
When the heck are you guys gonna be home? I'm itching to see you :L
I replied back with a witty response
Jake your a dog of course your itchy :D :P
He replied a few seconds later
Well your just a comical genius aren't you? I'll text you later
Jake x
I sighed as we pulled into the hotel for the night
"I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so excited!" Nicole squealed. I was sitting beside her on my bed in my room in the hotel
"Why are you so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so excited?" I asked mimicking her tone
"We're going home" She said
"Well they should make you chief of police back home!" I said sarcastically
"Yeah Jake is right. You are a comical genius" She pointed out shrugging her shoulders
"Yeah well I'm perfecting it at the moment" I mumbled and I got ready for bed
The next morning we were almost ready to go. Nicole was jumping up and down on the spot
"Whoa there Nic! Cool it girl" Emmett said putting a hand on her shoulder
"I'm. Just. Too. Excited!" She screamed
"Okay seriously you are spending way to much time with your mother" Mom mumbled putting a hand on her head
"Everybody! Its time to check out" Alice sang. We all laughed as she danced into the room .
"What?" She asked
Mom shook her head "Nothing never mind. Come on everyone. Its time to go home" We all smiled at that.
Back home at last
Jacob's POV
I was sitting with Billy watching TV. I was talking to Bella earlier, when they were leaving the hotel in Vancouver
Another 3 hours and I would see Nessie
Dad and I were watching some soap opera
"Why are we watching this?" I asked confused
"I actually don't know. That girl has nice hair" He said pointing at a middle aged woman and I laughed
"Famous ladies man, dad" I chuckled
"Yeah something like that" He mumbled chucking also
"Hello all" Charlie Swan's voice floated in the hallway. He came in the door
"Charlie! What are you doing here?" Dad asked as he wheeled over to him
"Hey Charlie" I said to him shaking his hand
"Jacob! Well Billy I came to visit you guys. I'm so happy Bells and Nessie are coming back" Charlie explained
I've known him for a long time but the amount of emotion that those two have brought to his life is amazing. He was never an affectionate man, but Nessie definitely changed that.
Two hours and fifty three minutes... this is going to be a long wait
Nessie's POV
"Who knew hybrids got so freakin' hungry!" Emmett teased. We were stopping for the second time today, in Seattle, we could have come down through Canada but Dad said this was easier. It was only about an hour away from here now
"Oh shut it" I grumbled eating my fries.
Emmett was staring at my food. I thought of a cunning plan that would be hilarious
"Go on. I dare you" I whispered evilly
He leaned over and looked me in the eye
"You get your evil side from your Dad you know that right?" He asked
"I can be evil when I want Em" Mom interjected from the booth across from us
"Yeah, but she's more confident with it than you" He laughed and I chuckled
"Go on" Dad said to Emmett
"Seriously. You guys are teaming up on me" He asked
"Yeah well she is my daughter" Dad mumbled shrugging I laughed at him
"Go on" I said offering him a fry
"Sleep with one eye open tonight Ness" He warned and I laughed as he winced when he took a bite
I was outside the restaurant waiting for Emmett
He came out, looking paler than usual. I was in hysterics walking over to the Volvo. When my father caught a glimpse of Emmett he was shaking he was laughing so hard. He had to grip the steering wheel
Esme shook her head at the two of us but chuckled to herself quietly
"Emmett you knew this would happen, why did you even bother?" Rosalie asked
"Cuz' she dared me" He wined. Dad and I laughed even harder. I had to grip his shoulder for support
"Emmett will you ever learn" She said smacking him round the head
"Look that was almost twenty years ago" He complained
"What happened twenty years ago?" My mom asked Dad
"I'll tell you in a few minutes"
Everyone was laughing at Emmett. When we pulled out on the highway Dad started explaining
"Truth and Dare was the cool new game for Teenagers in the eighties, so Alice thought it would be a great idea if we played vampire style. Which meant vampire style dares. So everyone had had a dare-" Dad got cut off by Mom
"What did you have to do?" She asked
"I had to run around the newly opened Wal Mart screaming "I hear voices" You know with the mind reading. Mine wasn't too bad some of the others' dares were way worse" He explained
I chuckled slightly. I could only imagine some of the dares that the Cullens might have had to do
"As I was saying before I was interrupted" Dad looked at Mom "Emmett had to go into a bar and order a huge meal and eat it all. He was in the bathroom for hours afterwards. I should know because I was forced to go in there with him" He rolled his eyes and I laughed
I looked at the old house. The house that had all the memories. We'd been home for five minutes and everything was put back in its original place including the clothes (thanks to Alice and Rosalie)
"I know what you mean about the memories" My father murmured quietly beside me as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders .I was sitting in the lawn on one of the benches. It was an unusually sunny day in Forks and my skin glowed subtly against his 25 carrot diamond style skin.
Then a familiar scent hit me and soon after came the familiar voice
"Ness! Nessie!" He called. I turned around and saw him running through the forest. I got up and ran into his arms
Now I was really home...
Jacob's back! Yay this is great! Next chapter will be up in a day or so... maybe even tonight..
