A/N: I pushed myself this week to be able to get this out early. This chapter is by far the shortest chapter ever, but the ending was so good that I couldn't resist. Hehehe. Newayz, I promise the next chapter will be longer and I'll try to finish that as well, soon hopefully. I really hope you enjoy this chapter and PLEASE, PLEASE review. It really inspires me to write the next chapters and ultimately finish the 'book'. Disclaimer, it's not really a book to be published, but by the way I'm going it's not just a short story anymore. LOL. But please review and let me know what you really think…. Thanks, and thanks to all the wonderful people who have reviewed.

Chapter Twenty-Six

Renesmee

At School the next day, even Quil and Embry had commented on my lack of enthusiasm over the last few days. I denied it and forced a couple of happy smiles for them. They didn't believe me, so I eventually gave up and told them everything. But only after they promised not to say anything to Jacob, I wanted to be the one to inform him. In math I was calm on the outside but all the while on the inside I wanted to scream. I would be leaving soon, there was no need to get excited anymore. It would all be over before it had a chance to even begin. I let Jacob drive me home as I watched the trees rush by. I was still trying to find the right time to tell him but then I realized, there never would be. When would it ever be the right time to tell one of the most important people in your life good bye. I sighed as I continued to stare as the trees blurred by.

"I'm leaving," I didn't even have the power to look at him.

"Leaving, you going hunting or something?" I could feel his gaze on me.

"No, were moving. Carlisle says it time we left for good." He didn't say anything for a long time and I turned to view him. He kept his eyes on the road, there was a mixture of angry and sadness in them.

"When did you find out? Is that why you've been acting funny for the last couple of days?"

"Yes, my parents told me last week,"

"Last week!" he snapped. I jumped in my seat at his sudden loudness. " You didn't feel the need to tell me till now. I suppose you were going to wait till it was too late." His voice was the angriest I'd ever heard it. I understood why but this was hard for me too.

"Jacob, that's not true. I just didn't know ho…"

"Who else knows. Does Aidin know?" I sighed.

"Of course he knows, he was the first person I told. But only because…"

"You told him before you told me, Nessie. Does he mean more to you than I do?" he snapped.

"No Jacob, you know that. I wanted to tell you. I really did but I just couldn't…" "Couldn't what?" He eyed me, this time only angry burned in his eyes. My blood began to boil and I felt myself shifting like I had before, feeling the killer in me begin to rise.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, JACOB. DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING. I'M LEAVING AND I'M NOT COMING BACK." I yelled more angry and frustrated than I had ever been or wanted to be.

"YOU COULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING." He bellowed back.

"STOP THE CAR!" I shouted. I had to get away. This was not what I imagined would happen when I had told him. I expected to cry, a lot. Not yell and scream, not feel both hurt and frustrated.

"GLADLY!" The car swerved to a stop and I flung the door open.

"Nessie, get back in the car. I'll leave." Then a loud, piercing howl came from somewhere and I knew exactly who it was.

"GO!" I barked back. I slammed the door and at vampire speed disappeared into the woods. I didn't know exactly were I was, but I was part vampire, and we had a good sense of direction. I didn't slow as my hair that had been pined up ,fell and was now flying out behind me. I felt something wet on my cheek but I didn't even wipe it away. I knew what it was.

Tears.

I wasn't sure how long I had been running but the tears just kept coming, though the angry did subside. I had never been so mad at Jacob in my life, but I was now. He had no idea how hard it was for me to even think about leaving him and all he cared about was that I told Aidin first. I shook my head. I didn't want to think about it anymore, now I just wanted to go home, fall into my parents arms and cry. I burst though the trees into a clearing and headed straight for the other side when the wind changed and the scent of something sweet lingered in the breeze. I came up short, suddenly feeling a familiar presence behind me. I turned slowly to gaze in the deep red eyes of the female vampire I had encountered before. Only this time she was alone. She was beautiful and flawless as our kind was, but nothing about her told me she was kind in any way. She hunted humans, and instantly I felt my body grow defensive. I was still human in many ways, my heart beat loudly in my chest, and blood pulsed through my veins. She smiled at me as the realization hit me.

" Your reaction is much better this time," her voice soft, but her eyes bore holes into mine. My mind traveled back to the time I had first laid eyes on the two vampires. I wasn't scared and for some reason I wasn't scared now. I was anxious. I could see the thirst in her eyes, before she explained.

"I hadn't planned on crossing your scent here but I must say I'm ecstatic. The last time I realized that something was different about you. Not quite vampire and not all human. But I must say, the blood that runs through your body is..." her lips curled up in a seductive smile. "Intoxicating."

And even at her words I didn't feel scared, only defensive and on edge, ready to fight. I had never fought in my life, I knew how very dangerous our kind could be. And even though I had never had to fight, for some reason I was having some type of adrenaline rush. I realized all too soon that I wanted this. The vampire in me was taken over. I usually controlled him, but I didn't have to now. I couldn't.

" I would have killed you right then and there if not for your friend. Weird friends you keep." She began to circle me and I moved only so that my back wouldn't be left exposed, but the mention of Jacob had already begun to infuriate me. A snarl slipped through my teeth. She laughed.

"I've smelt him in these areas as well. I'll take care of him when I'm done with you." I felt my jaw clench at her words but it was so instantaneous that I barely noticed.

"But that's only if Reagan hasn't gotten to him first. " Her smirk made my stomach turn but the smile that spread even wider across her face made me feel even more sick.

"You leave Jacob alone!" Another growl slipped up my throat unintentionally. The gruesome sound scared me a little, that I was capable it. This made her smile widen. Okay that was it. I was done playing these games. She sensed my change in mood and shifted into a low crouch of her own. Suddenly the threat on my life became all to real and I stared intently at her before my vision began to blur though I didn't feel my body grow weak as if I was going to faint. I blinked again trying to clear the cloud but it didn't help. She lunged at me and everything went black.

Jacob

Damnit, I thought as I raced toward the Cullens house. Damnit, I thought again.

How could I have been so stupid as to let Nessie roam the woods alone. Given, I hadn't known that there were a couple of bloodsucking vampires in the area, but that wasn't any excuse. I cursed myself mentally as I broke through the trees and onto the Cullens front lawn. I didn't even try to slow down as I threw the door open just as Rosalie was passing by.

"Don't you have any manners, dog. Knock before you enter." I brushed passed her, and found her parents at the piano, though neither of them we're playing. They pulled apart as I entered.

"Where's Nessie?" I asked. Her mother was on her feet immediately reading my face.

"I thought she was with you?"

"No," Edward stated. "They had a fight." If it was any other time I would have been upset that he had dipped into my thoughts. But this wasn't that time.

"So she's not here," I confirmed. They stared blankly at me.

"Shit!" I rubbed my head nervously, my mind literally racing.

"Damn it Jacob," Edward snarled. He knew now.

"What is it," Alice raced into the room, Jasper on her heels.

"We encountered a vampire not far from here a few minutes ago. We took care of him, but he wasn't alone. And Nessie's out there somewhere, still." Accidentally my memory flipped back to the first time we had encounter the vampires during spring break

"JACOB!? Edward roared. "Why the hell didn't you tell us." .

"She wouldn't let me. Besides we took care of it." I snapped under the pressure.

"Apparently not," he snarled. " We have to find her, before it's…"

"Before it's what?" Bella spoke, pleading with her husband.

"Edward, please." He took her head in his hands.

"She's going to be fine. Stay here incase she shows up."

"No! What's going on. Where's Nessie?" Edward stared into her eyes.

"Everything's going to be fine. " He lied. I could tell that he didn't even believe himself but he wouldn't want Bella to worry.

"Just stay here,"

"NO! I won't just stay here. Not until you tell me what the hell is going on." They stared at each other for a long moment. I almost groaned, we didn't have time for this.

"Fine. Esme?" Edward spoke. She was by his side in a flash.

"I'll do it." He nodded to his mother.

"We'll break up into groups and search the woods." Carlisle was talking to the entire family who had suddenly appeared.

"Alice, Jasper take the north , Edward take Bella and Jacob to the east and Emmett, Rosalie and I will take the south and swing west." We all nodded and split.

Damnit, I cursed again. I was so stupid. How could I have let her out of my sight. What a great guardian I was turning out to be. If I hadn't gotten mad over something so small… I had hurt her. I could see that now. I could see it had been hard to tell me, but yet I got caught up once again in my jealous rage. I ran behind her parents, as fast as my human legs would allow. I wanted to shift but my mind was under so much pressure it was chaos to even make a decision. If that blood sucker laid one finger on her… I was so upset I couldn't even finish the thought. Suddenly her familiar scent hit me and I saw that both of her parents turn to one another, speaking silently with there eyes. But there was something else. The smell of burning wood, and… I almost froze in fear. Instead I pushed head. I didn't even want to think about the thought that Nessie might… We suddenly came into a clearing. We paused at the sight of her in front of us. She stood, her back towards us staring into the blazing flame before her. She was alive, and my heart had never felt so relieved, but none of us moved. There was something different about her. I then noticed that in her hand she held the head of the female vampire, before she tossed it into the heat with the rest of the burning body. Then it just dawned on me. Had she really killed a full grown vampire on her own. Was that even possible? Her father stepped forward cautiously.

"Nessie?" She spun around so fast that I hadn't even seen it until she faced us in a defensive crouch, a low growl sounding in the depths of her throat. Never had I ever heard her growl at anyone, and certainly not at her own father. I suddenly understood what was that was so off about her. She resembled a vampire more than ever, not a trace of her human side anywhere to be found. Even her eyes were black as the night. But Edward still took another step forward, palms facing her, letting her know he meant no harm.

"Nessie," He tried again. This time she cocked her head to the side, and stared at him quizzically. Then suddenly she stood and her eyes turned back to there normal color.

"Daddy," her voice so quite I could barley hear even though she was less than fifteen feet away. Her body instantly became limp, but Edward caught her before she could hit the ground. I stared on unable to move.

What the hell had just happened?

HAHAHA, that was great don't you think?
