I appreciate those who reviewed today, they made my day, truly. I also appreciate those who sent me the PM's as well to give me their opinions on the story. I don't know why you don't review them on the page, but I appreciate the words nonetheless. To answer those questions that reviewer asked in private, no that chapter was not the end, I have far too much unresolved. I hope that at this point you know the characters well enough to know that there will not be another massive explosion. Finally, haha I will not reveal any more of the plot in the note, you just have to trust me and continue reading. Can you do that for me?
Here we go…

I felt no better from my rant on the beach, however I felt no worse and that was something that I welcomed. What I did feel though was lethargy. It seemed to hit me more suddenly than I could handle. I didn't know if it was the sedative just pushing the last of itself out of my system or if it was that atop of a complete emotional and mental exhaustion. Whatever the combination, I knew that I couldn't stand at the water's edge anymore. I tried to think of the potential danger of my decision, but having decided that the worst had already happened, I curled up on a nearby rock, snuggled into my jacket and drifted into a deep sleep.

Hours later at the Cullen's house

"I'm sure she is fine Edward, maybe she takes after you and likes to just be alone, especially when she's upset."
"Emmett I am far from the mood of joking. It's dark and she's been gone for hours, something may be very wrong!" The clear, distinctive voice of a father in pain cut through the air.
"I have to say that I agree with Edward on this. What should we do?" Emmett rolled his eyes, knowing that Jasper would forever agree with Alice as she was his everything. Esme was in the kitchen with Bella, trying to keep her as calm and sane as possible. Carlisle stepped away from them and into the living room with the rest of the family.
"We need to call Sam, see if he can get he and the boys to do a patrol." Bella's voice came out as more of a squeak,
"You think there's a possibility she isn't in Forks?"
"Of course she is still here love, we just don't know where in. We will cover more ground with the help of the wolves than without. Why don't you stay here with Esme," He looked towards here, where she plastered a warm smile on her face, he continued, more to Esme than Bella.
"We will call you when we know anything okay?"

Sam's house, where all of the pack is located

"Of course we will. We'll take the lands surrounding our part as she wouldn't know about that. We'll meet at the border in an hour, hopefully with good news. Take care," Sam hung up the phone and the worst words I could have heard came out next…
"Alright, let's go."
"Sam what's going on, what are we doing?"
"Renesmee is missing"

They raced out of the house, splitting up into three groups: Jacob, Leah and Quil in one, Paul and Jared in the second and Seth, Sam and Embry in the last.
"I need to be there for her she trusts me!" Claire cried out desperately. Quil ran to her, brushing his lips past hers.
"We can't waste time, you will slow us, I'm sorry Claire, if she is in trouble we need to move and quickly!" The pack nodded in consent and the only sounds heard through the night were the sounds of the leaves rustling from the swift movements. Half of the pack chose to search in form so that if a threat appeared they were prepared.

It seemed like they had been looking everywhere for hours, but it hadn't been that long.
"Sam, Jacob said that she was at the beach when he last saw her why haven't you looked there?" Seth questioned.
"It's too obvious Seth, she wouldn't be there for hours."
"It's possible though please can you at least try," Seth turned his back on Sam and ran towards the beach, determined. He walked the length of the beach twice, the night's darkness making it more difficult than he thought. He was just about to give up when he caught the delicate scent of a female familiar to me. Renesmee. I ran towards it, hoping, no praying for the best however expecting the worst. However, there she lay, cuddled against a rock. Her hood lay over her head with the moon lighting only the bottom half of her face. Seth called out to Sam, picking Renesmee up as gently as he could. He secured her body against his, calling out to her gently.

"Renesmee, its Seth can you hear me?" Her eyes opened slowly, but widened he suspected as fear set in. She began to squirm violently, trying to shake her hands from the security of his chest.
"Calm down, listen shhh, its Seth. Come on," He smiled, hoping it would help, "You know if you don't calm down I will throw you in the water." She calmed down, taking in as much of who he was as she could.
"Seth I'm sorry," Her eyes gained focus but you could see the trail of tears as they fell from her cheeks. "I thought,"
"I know, what are you doing out here? Do you realize how worried you had everyone? They are all looking for you!" Her eyes fell downwards,
"I didn't mean to worry everyone. I just came out to get some air like I said I would. But I got really tired so I lay down." Seth nodded, knowing full well that the last thing she needed was a lecture, though that wouldn't stop those that were sure coming her way.
"Let's get you home okay?"
"Seth?" he continued walking,
"What's up Ness? I know I'm not your Prince Charming's arms but he is out here somewhere,"
"No this has nothing to do, ugh never mind, would you mind taking me to Emily and Sam's? I cannot face them right now, please don't take me back home." Her plea was enough to break his resolve but he also knew that he would be damned if he overstepped Sam.

Sure enough within the hour the pack was all waiting near the line, relief flooding their faces as they realized that she was safe, and they found her.
"I'm going to call her parents, and then we really should get her home." She was standing, shakily, on her feet and shook her head furiously.
"Sam?" Her voice sounded like that of a frightened child, one seemingly waiting for the punishment of a parent.
"What is it Renesmee?" He didn't mean to sound as harsh as he did, noting that when she seemed to whither before him slightly.
"Would it be okay if I stayed with you, Claire and Emily tonight please,"
"Renesmee I don't know. That's not really my call."
"Please…" Cursing himself inwardly, he began dialing his cell phone.

Edward's POV

"We have her Edward, Seth found her sleeping on the beach."
"I knew the sedatives hadn't quite worn off, is she hurt is she okay?"
"She is fine, tired and needs to shower. Edward," He was dreaded the next sentence, "She says that she'd like to sleep at our place tonight. I said that I would call you as you had the final say in this." I heard him exhale,
"If it was Claire what would you do Sam?"
"I wouldn't push her. If you want the best end result Edward, please don't take this the wrong way but, you are at her mercy. I'll take care of her. I'll call you in the morning when the girls come down for breakfast. Okay?"
"Sam I think Bella and I have already lost her, but please tell her we love her and we will see her tomorrow."

I hung up the phone and delivered the news to a very distraught Bella. She disagreed with my decision but then we both agreed that if this is what it takes than we must lay in the bed we made…

Alright, I deleted, rewrote and deleted this chapter so many times. I was satisfied with this edition, but I was a bit unsure. So I hope that you enjoyed it as much as the last. Keep the reviews coming guys, you're the best
