When they pulled in they both saw that Ryan was already there waiting for them. As soon as Nessie was off the bike he walked over and hugged her picking her up for just a second when he did. "I'm so glad you're ok." "Of course I'm ok, why wouldn't I be?" "I don't know, I was just worried. It's strange not having you at home. Anyway, your dad is going to be here any minute and he is worried sick about you Ness."

Nessie stiffened at the mention of her dad and Jake was glaring at Ryan. He had wanted to say something when Ryan hugged her but he knew it would piss Nessie off. He grabbed Nessies hand tighter than neccessary and pulled her closer to him. "Ness, it's ok. I'll be right here with you." He whispered it in her ear and she just shook her head. She saw her dads car pull in then and Jake and Ryan both heard her heart rate increase.

Her dad, along with the rest of her family, stepped out of the car. Nessie walked with Jake still holding his hand and Ryan followed them. Edward walked out to meet them and pulled her from Jake into a hug. Nessie reluctantly let go of his hand to hug her father. "I have been so worried about you Renesmee." "I'm fine, really. Jake's taking care of me." Edward suddenly let out a low growl that no human would have heard. His eyes were glaring at Jake who realized what had happened after it was too late.

At the mention of taking care of Nessie he had let a few thoughts slip without thinking. "Shit" He mumbled to himself. Nessie pulled back from him. "Whats wrong?" Nessie followed her fathers gaze to Jake. Then she looked back at him. "Jake and I are going to have a talk later. And then you and I are going to talk, understand?" It was almost a growl when he spoke. Nessie shook her head and Edward turned back to Bella and grabbed her hand as he walked away. Alice and Bella both turned their heads toward Nessie and mumbled a sorry to her before turning back and following Edward with the rest of the family.

"What was that all about?" Nessie asked turning to Jake. "I'll explain later Ness." Ryan looked at him suspiciously. "Jake, you can tell me now." Nessie said to him. Jake thought for a moment not wanting to let Ryan know what had happened between him and Ness but also not wanting to piss Nessie off. "I think he may have picked up a few of my thoughts is all. Don't worry about, It'll be fine." Ryan knew something was up but he didn't say anything. Jake grabbed Nessies hand and walked into the school with Ryan following them. She had almost all of her classes with Ryan so he followed them when Jake walked her to her first class.

"Do you want me to meet you back here?" "No Jake, it's ok, Ryan can walk with me." "Ness..." He started to protest but she stopped him. "Jake, remember what I told you." Jake wasn't happy but he didn't say anything else. He placed a kiss on her cheek and walked away before he opened his mouth.

When lunchtime came around Jake waited for Nessie outside the cafeteria. When he saw her coming down the hall he couldn't hold back the quiet growl inside. She was walking with Ryan holding his hand. When she approached him she greeted him cheerfully. "Hey Jake." Jake bent down and kissed her cheek and Ryan let go of her hand. "I'll be inside Ness." Ryan brushed past them and when Jake stood up she smacked his arm lightly. "That was not nice." "Yeah well, neither is he holding your hand." Nessie glared at him but Jake just smiled and grabbed her hand walking her inside.

They got their lunch and walked outised instead of joining her family. They sat at one of the outside tables. Nessie was eating when she saw Ryan coming out the door toward them. His face looked concerned. As he approached them she could see something was wrong. "Ryan, what's wrong?" She and Jake watched as he scanned the trees and Jake turned to look to see what he was looking at, but there was nothing around. "I just wanted to check on you, make sure everything was ok." "Ryan, what's going on?" Nessie was worried. "I thought I picked up a scent, but it was nothing, sorry, don't worry about it. I'll see you in class." Ryan walked away before she could say anything else.

She looked at Jake who was still watching Ryan. He knew something was going on but he didn't want to make Nessie worry so he didn't say anything. He would confront him about it later. When lunch was just about over everyone that was outside headed back in. Jake and Nessie were the only ones left outside. When Nessie stood Jake couldnt help himself. He pinned her against the wall smiling slyly at her. "Jake..." He covered her lips with his kissing her deep and soft. He heard a small moan escape her. "I've been wanting to do that all day." He was about to kiss her again but he froze.

He grabbed her hand tightly and quickly turned. He knew there was someone, who was at least part vampire, close by. He saw someone come around the corner walking toward them. He was almost as tall as Jake with brown hair and green eyes. As he got closer he heard Nessie gasp and she seemed to inch closer to Jake. "Renesmee, it's been a long time, I didn't expect to find you here." Nessie didn't say anything at first, her eyes wide with shock. Jake looked at her when she didn't answer. He thought she almost looked scared but he was't sure.

"Ness, do you know him?" She looked at Jake and then finally spoke looking back at the other guy. "W-What are you doing here?" Nessies voice was low and quiet. "Now now, is that anyway to greet an old friend? And it seems you have forgotten your manners. You didn't even introduce me to your new friend here." Nessies hand started to tremble slightly in Jakes hand. She tried to pull it away but Jake noticed and gripped it tighter. Her apparent old friend seemed to notice too. "I'm Jake, who the hell are you?" Jake wasn't harsh but he wasn't exactly pleasant either.

" Forgive me, my name is Ty. I'm an old friend of Renemee's. We used to go to school together." Jake looked at Nessie. "Ness..?" "Yeah...we did, go to school together. Um...Jake, we should get to class." Jake could tell something wasn't right but now wasn't the place for it. "Well it was nice seeing you again Renesmee. Maybe I'll see you around since I just transferred." Nessie froze for just a second before pulling Jake with her as she walked off. Jake didn't miss the sly smile on Ty's face.

Nessie stopped at her locker to get her book for class. "Who was that Ness?" "Jake you need to get to class so you're not late." "Ness, who is he?" Nessie wouldn't look at him. "N-no one Jake, just some guy I used to know. Please, I don't want you to be late. My class is right there, I'm sure Ryans already there." Jake looked at her for a moment. "Fine, but we're not done talking about this." Jake kissed her cheek and then walked away.

When Jake's class was over he went to his locker and was surprised that he beat Nessie there. He watched as people filed out of the class room down the hall where her class was. When he saw Ryan come out he expected to see Nessie but she wasn't there. A sudden panic came over him. He waited for Ryan to approach him. "Wheres Nessie?" He tried to keep his voice even but he knew a bit of the concern slipped through. Ryans eyes suddenly got dark. "What are you talking about? She never came to class, I thought she was with you." His words were a whispered growl. He knew something was wrong.

Jakes eyes grew darker now and the panic hit him. He walked as fast as he could outside the building, Ryan following right behind him. "Jake what the hell is going on?" Ryan growled the words as soon as they were outside. Jake didn't answer him. He sniffed the air and walked around to the side of the building and looked toward the trees. Ryan grabbed his arm and Jake spun around growling at him for touching him. "I want an answer Jake, what happened?" "I don't know what happened okay? We came back in late from lunch and I walked her to her locker. She was upset about something but she wouldn't tell me. She told me to go to class and I tried to argue with her but she said since her class was right there and you were probably already there that she would be fine. So I left her there."

Ryan could hear the anger and the panic in his voice. "Something had to have happened to make her upset Jake." Jake contmeplated for a second then decided to tell him about Ty. "When we were getting ready to come inside I picked up a strange scent. Then this guy comes around the corner and approaches us. He knew Nessie, or at least he called her by her name anyway. She knew him but she didn't seem too happy to see him. She barely spoke to him and her hand was trembling. She almost seemed like she was afraid of him. I tried to ask her about him when we came in to go to class but she wouldn't tell me anything. She said he was just some guy who she used to go to school wtih."

Ryan thought for a minute. "That doesn't sound like her Jake. Nessie's not scared of anyone..." Ryan stopped suddenly a look of horror crossing his face. Jake noticed. "Jake, what was his name?" Ryans voice was demanding. "He said his name was Ty." Jake watched Ryans reaction. "No, oh god no. Jake we have to find her fast! I should have never left you guys at lunch!" "Now you're scaring me. What the hell is going on Ryan?" Jake was already trembling. "She's in danger Jake, we have to find her now!"

Jake didn't argue with him, he could see he was dead serious by the look on his face. He pulled his phone out and dialed Seth. He hadn't gone to school today. When Seth picked up the phone Jake quickly explained to him what was going on. He hung up and the next thing he heard was a faint piercing howl deep in the woods. "What was that?" Ryan asked him. "My pack" Jake said as he ran towards the woods. He stopped at the edge and turned to Ryan, pure fear written all over his face. "Find Edward, tell him what's going on. I'm sure he will want to know." Jake didn't say another word. He sprinted into the woods and Ryan saw him phase instantly. He let out a piercing howl of his own, part emotionaly pain and part to let his pack know he was there.
