Today we will find out if Renesmee is able to convince the Cullens or that a cetrain death it waiting for her. Enjoy!


Emmett

It was harder with Emmett, because him and me didn't spend much time with each other when I was in the mansion. The chains were still active, blocking out most of my feelings for Emmett, Esme, Bella and Alice. In this particular situation that was hard, because I didn't knew how I was going to convince them.

I didn't have much to say to Emmett, so he asked me a few questions to confirm I said who I was.

Bella

Me and Bella had a stare off at first. I had no idea what to say to her. She kept silent as well.

'I am your daughter, you need to recognize me.' I pleaded.

'You fought for me when I was still in the womb, and I need you to do it again.'

She said nothing.

Rosalie

Rosalie was in full bitch mode when she arrived. With cool eyes she looked at me before sitting down in the chair before me. She flung her long blonde hairs behind her ear and folded her arms. Tapping with her foot on the ground.

'You were right.' I said.

'I was right about what?' Her voice was cold. Rosalie had always been the ice queen in the family.

'That you never completely get over it.'

She seemed to think about my words for a while, until she finally realized what I was talking about.

'I watched how he got killed, and a little part of me felt relief. It wasn't justice, what happened that day. But I still felt relieved when he was dead.'

Carlisle

The last one of the Cullens was Carlisle. With his doctors attitude he walked into the room. Calmly he closed the door and sat down in front of me.

'Grandpa.' I whispered as emotions took over me. 'I've missed you so much.' Carlisle was the first one who I bonded with when I came to Forks. His chains were completely lifted and I was so happy and relieved to see him. I almost rose from my chair to hug him, but the metal chains Jasper and Emmett wrapped around my arms were holding me back.

'May I please?' I said as I looked at the chains. With steady hands he slowly removed the metal. When he was done I jumped up and wrapped my arms around him. I couldn't stop myself from crying, it was tearless, but my body still sobbed and shook. Calmly Carlisle created distance between us and told me to sit down again. Quickly I sat down again and eagerly looked at him.

'Grandpa, you of all people need to believe me.' I begged. 'Ask me anything. Anything at all.'

He started with the basic questions, which were easy to answer. I retold him what happened with the Volturi and he listened, sometimes he nodded a few times, but stayed quiet the entire time I spoke. When I was done he nodded a few more times and thought about what I told him.

'Why were you having nightmares?' He asked me and I stiffened.

'No, grandpa please. I don't want to talk about that.' I whispered. Now that I was a vampire, the nightmares stopped because I didn't sleep. But the thought of him still lingered in the back of my mind. Ready to torment me whenever he could.

'Please don't.' I begged him again. He stood up. 'Then we have nothing to talk about anymore.' He slowly walked over to the door to call the others.

It was all or nothing, withholding this from him could cost me my life. I needed them to believe me, and if that meant I would need to share this dark secret than I had to.

'I've killed someone.' The words sounded cold and hollow coming from my lips. Carlisle froze in his tracks and slowly turned around.

'Excuse me?'

I turned my eyes to the ground. 'When I was in Seattle, I killed someone. I tried to fight it as long as possible. I really tried, I fought my urges the first days. But the need was getting stronger and stronger. The dark part of me was clawing out and I tried to fight it. But I was so weak, I didn't eat or drink for days. My body craved for something, anything at all but mostly blood. When they realized I wouldn't join the massacres that they called dinner they locked me up with this boy. He was about my age. I failed to fight it, I took some pills trying to suppress my instincts. But my body failed me. I don't even remember doing it. 'My voice was getting a little hysterical so I cleared my throat before I continued.

'But I killed him, nobody else. Me. Because when I woke up he was drained and I was covered in blood. Every time I close my eyes I see him, he is everywhere. His eyes are so hollow and dead and his lips are forming this twisted smile. And I deserve that. I deserve that because I killed him.'

A cool hand was placed on my shoulder. I still struggled with my confession and couldn't bring myself to look up. I was too ashamed for that. Carlisle kneeled down and slowly took the metal rails and wrapped them around my arms before leaving me.

Jacob's POV

All the information the Cullens provided me with made my head hurt.

'Body swapped.' I mumbled, more to myself than to them. I thought about the last few weeks, Renesmee was making a lot of progress, she was doing better than before. Her nightmares were gone, she looked better and smiled more. She was much happier than before. Now that she was feeling so much better our relationship evolved from friendship into a relationship. We did boyfriend girlfriend stuff now and she loved to snuggle with me. We even made love when she stayed over at my place.

I just couldn't believe that the person I did all that with was a complete stranger. That couldn't be, it just couldn't be. But there was something that was bothering me. It was like my feelings for her started to change, I still loved her very much and I loved everything about her. But there was just something missing, something that was there in the beginning. When I first saw her, some energy radiated from her, the last couple of weeks that energy got weaker and weaker. It was still there, but just much weaker than before.

Bella nodded and sighted pulling me back to the here and now. 'Your opinion is very important Jake, you know her well. Please go in and talk to her. Keep in consideration, that Renesmee told us that she has the gift to review people's life whenever she want to. But if what's she saying is true, that's the real Renesmee in there. '

'What do you think?'

'We need you to go in open minded, so I'll tell you afterwards.'

Confused and a little dazed I walked into the cabin. There was a tall, slim vampire sitting in the chair. She had long jet black hairs, her eyes where fixed on me and grew big when she saw me come in.

'Jake!' She exclaimed as she excitedly bounced up and down. I didn't respond, because I had no idea who she was but I walked over to her and sat down. Her red eyes drilled in mine and I frowned. I didn't recognize a trace of Renesmee.

'I know, I look different.' She whispered. 'But you need to believe that it's still me. '

'Not really feeling it. ' I said as I let my eyes wander over her.

'Jake I need you to listen to me.' She pressed. 'Listen carefully.'

'You can fall in love with her, the girl who is possessing my body, you can hold her and pretend that's she is me, but she isn't. You imprinted on me, not just my body but on me. So I need you to believe me or else you will wake up at night wondering why she isn't something better.'

Her red eyes drilled in mine even more. 'There is once in a lifetime and there is once in a while. The difference between those two is the choice you make today. Because she will not be the girl you want her to be. Because you won't find this. You won't find me in her. '

I was at a loss for words.

'Ness?' I finally whispered.

'I hate it when you call me that.' She gave me a sad smile.

'Is it really you?'

'It's really me Jake.' She bit her lip. 'I've missed you. When you first told me you imprinted on me, I was scared. Scared to lose my freedom. There is so much that I still want to do. But I had the chance between freedom and home. I could've easily turned my back and never come back and you wouldn't even know. But I wanted to come back here, I missed my family. And I finally understand now that I almost lost you, I understand that we belong together. '

I reached for her hand, which was ice cold, and softly pinched it.

'I can't believe you didn't noticed earlier Jake. I can't believe you slept with her.' Her voice was hurt and I felt a sting in my heart. It was really her. I rose from my chair and pulled away the curtain rails from her arms so she could move freely. I noticed her hands were shaking and I took them and pulled her to her feet. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her in a hug, she was ice cold but I didn't cared. I was certain it was her.

The door swung open and I felt her stiffen. Edward looked at me reading my thoughts.

'The last confirmation. We believe you.' Carlisle said to her. She let out a sob as she fell down to her knees. She was shaking like a leaf and she was crying tearlessly.

'I've contacted Alice and Esme. They are bringing her here so we can make the swap.' Edward said as he walked over to her. He offered her his hand which she took and stood up.

'Yeah, okay.' She nodded and wiped her face. There were no tears to wipe, but it was just automatism I think. The girl who was posing as Renesmee didn't need long to figure out she was exposed. When they arrived at the cabin she glared at Renesmee.

'What's going on?' She tried.

'Cut the crap' Renesmee hissed back.

'Language!' Edward grunted.

'Right, sorry dad.' Renesmee mumbled but still glared at the other Renesmee. Man this was confusing. Knowing Renesmee was in this body and whoever was in the body of Renesmee was a stranger was really messing with my mind.

'It's over.' Carlisle said to the fake Renesmee. She just glared at him and then grinned.

'Is it? Because I'm not going to change us back. You will kill me for sure.' She said in a challenging tone. When it was confirmed the real Renesmee was standing right next to me I felt a little weird, it made me sick knowing that the girl I slept with wasn't Renesmee.

'If you won't I'm going to beat the shit out of you, for sure.' Renesmee growled at her.

'You don't want to ruin such a pretty face do you now?' She pouted.

'You already fucked up my hair, and my wardrobe.' Renesmee bitched 'So the face doesn't matter anymore.'

The girl who was in Renesmee's body glanced down to her colorful clothes and grinned. 'I thought I would bring some color in your depressing life.'

'Shut your mouth you stupid..'

'Renesmee!' Edward shouted and she swallowed in the last word.

'Even though I love a good bitch fight, I think I have a solution.' Enzo interfered. Thank god, watching this girl-fight really made my head hurt.

'I think it's possible to manually activate this ability of hers. If I just can get inside her head.' Enzo grinned. Panic spread over the girl who was inside of Renesmee's body. With big eyes she stared at Enzo.

'You can do that?' She stuttered and suddenly she lost all her confidence. Jasper grabbed her and seated her in a chair, where he tied her hands with the electricity cables. The real Renesmee grinned and gave the fake one a smug look.

'Great, let's do it.' She beamed and took a seat before the other one.

Enzo stepped forward, but she stood up again. 'No wait, she is quick. You need to tie up this body. Tie it up really good, so she can't escape or swap with someone else.'

We did tie her up real good, we used the curtain rails, other cables and muzzled her with a scarf and the chain lock I got from my bike. When we were all set, Enzo placed his hands on both their heads and took his sweet time.

After several minutes something happened. Both their bodies went limp and their eyes rolled to the back of their sockets. They started to convulse, but just for a second before they went back to completely limp again. I exchanged looks with Bella who shared my concerns. All we could do is wait.

It's was Renesmee's body who first woke up. Her eyes slowly opened and she blinked a few times. She took in her surroundings and carefully looked at her hands. She pulled on the cables, but we didn't remove them yet.

'Oh I feel sick.' She muttered. Carlisle hurried towards her to check her. She closed her eyes again and took a few breaths. When Carlisle laid his hands on her forehead she sighted.

'Grandpa..' She softly whispered. 'I've missed you.' Carlisle carefully released her from her ropes and she wrapped her arms around him. When they broke their embrace she stumbled on her feet. Unsteady she walked a few meters.

'How are you feeling?' Bella asked carefully.

'Couldn't be better.' She grinned. She stared at her own hands and let her hands run through her hair. She then walked over to the mirror that was hanging in the living room to check her reflection.

The other body still wasn't conscious. Her eyes were still closed and she was motionless. She didn't even breath. She just sat there like a corpse. Renesmee's eyes darted over her 'What are we going to do with her?' Hate glimmered in her eyes when she looked at her.

'We can't take the risk, I'll handle it. I'll make sure she won't set another foot in Forks. Or anywhere for that matter.' Jasper promised her. Relieved she nodded. 'Yes that would be best.'

When we arrived back at the mansion the very first thing Renesmee did was raid the kitchen. She told us that the things she missedmost was eating and sleeping, she told us while stuffing her face with chocolate and other candies. It was kind of adoring, seeing her eat like that.

When we all settled in the living room she joined us with a bag of chips and a cola in her hand.

'God, it's good to be home.' She muttered as she kicked of her shoes and dropped onto the couch next to me. Everyone was awkwardly quiet, feeling ashamed for the whole situation. Renesmee noticed and slowly her eyes darted over the room.

'You guys, please don't be like this. I am just happy to be home. It feels so good to be here, to be able to talk to all of you. It's fine, it's in the past okay. Now just let's a nice evening together.' Renesmee said and I thought it was a lovely gesture forgiving us like that.

'Special thanks to you Enzo, you are literally a lifesaver.' She said as she suppressed a yawn.

Enzo chuckled. 'Anytime pipsqueak.'

Renesmee was tired and it didn't took long before she fell asleep against my arm. I picked her up in my arms and carried her to her room where I tucked her in. With everything that happened today it wasn't strange that she was exhausted. I softly pressed a kiss on her forehead and tiptoed out of the room. I walked downstairs to go back to the Cullens when Jasper dashed in.

'She escaped' He muttered.

'How the hell did that happen, she was all tied up!' Emmett hissed.

'I wanted to interrogate her some more.. I know it's stupid, but I thought maybe they are planning something else. Maybe she had intel on the Volturi's next move. So I put that poker in the fire and went outside to put some more wood on the fire, she was still unconscious. Almost comatose, but when I went back inside she squeezed out of most of the chains. Startled she stared at me and I went straight for her throat, but she avoided me by jumping over me. She screamed at me to wait, but when I tried to bite her she kicked me in the face and took off. I hate to admit it, but since she is drinking human blood she is faster than I am. I'm sorry.' He grimaced.

We immediately decided two things: one we would start the pursuit for her right now, second we wouldn't tell Renesmee because we agreed that she'd been through enough. We would find her and finish her before she could set one more foot inside Forks. So I rallied up the pack and we began tracking her, because I was going to make sure something like this wouldn't happen again.

Like promised no one told Renesmee the truth. We took shifts chasing the other girl down, making sure she wouldn't get suspicious. It was busy, working five days a week, hunting down Raven or Milly or whatever her name was, and keeping up the lie with Renesmee as well. It was tough, but I knew it was for the best. We almost got her a couple of times, when I was hunting out with Rose, Emmett, Seth and Elouise, Seth called her out that we just wanted to talk. She came of her hiding and started to mumble that this was a mistake and that we needed to listen to her. Of course we didn't, the minute she was in plain sight we tried to get our hands on her. Emmett almost succeeded when he grabbed her by the throat and threw her right through a brick wall. Unfortunately she recovered quickly and was gone before we could rip her to shreds. It didn't matter, she would be dead soon enough.

It was almost a week later, on a Saturday that Renesmee came over. It was the first time since the swapping that she visited my place, usually I visited her at the Cullen mansion. But I was looking forward to spending the day with her, it was a relief after the busy days I had. Esme dropped her off and with a smile she walked through the door, it was one of the rare moment we had with the two of us. Suddenly I was nervous, I knew I had to reset boundaries with her now that she was swapped back. I needed to be careful not to overstep those. We needed to start right from the beginning. But what she said back in the cabin gave me enough faith to have hope for a happy future together.

She held up a bag from the bakery. 'I got us breakfast.'

'Great, I'm actually really hungry.' I grinned as I let a hand run through my hair.

She chuckled. 'You are always hungry. Right go set the table and I'll make us some coffee.'

I did as she asked and set the table. Soon after she walked in with two cups of hot steaming coffee. We sat down and I grabbed the back. She put the two cups of hot black coffee on the table and we started our breakfast. She brought all sorts of things, croissants, donuts, banana bread and I gratefully ate to my heart's content. While we were eating she talked about one of the books she was reading, she was in a cheerful mood. I stared at her and I couldn't help but notice how good she looked. She took a sip from her coffee and smiled at me.

'Are you even listening to what I'm saying Jake?' She teased me.

I grinned. 'Of course I am. It's just, you look so beautiful.'

Her cheeks flushed and she lowered her eyes. 'Thanks.' She muttered.

We had a great day, we decided to hike through the woods and talked about what happened to her the last couple of weeks. She was open and told me everything that I wanted to know. Afterwards I took her for lunch at Sue's and we had an icecream. At night we went lasergaming with Seth, Elouise, Quill, Sam, Emily, Embry and Kim. I won, but the most important was that we had much fun. I took her home after that and before she got out of the car she gave me a kiss on the cheek.

'No worries Jake, we'll get there. ' She whispered and softly pinched my hand.

I drove home and when I arrived home I opened a beer and turned on the TV to watch the sport game. Life was good, everything was back to normal and I was supposed to be happy. I was happy, but there was something that was nagging at me from the inside. My phone buzzed and I checked the message. The Cullens had gone out hunting again in search of her. The message told me that they didn't caught her yet, she had an encounter with Esme, but Esme wasn't a good fighter. She did hurt her, but she couldn't stop her from escaping. Which meant the quest to find and kill this renegade runaway wasn't over yet. I grunted as I realized that tomorrow, my last free day this week, would be spent tracking down leads and trails. I better get to bed, so tomorrow I would be well rested and I could put an end to this. Then Renesmee and I could finally begin our forever after.

I woke up at three in the morning, my body covered in cold sweat. My mind was hazy and at first I didn't knew what woke me up. I sat up and took a deep breath. Then suddenly I knew what was bothering me, I knew what was wrong. It'd happened this morning at breakfast. I've should have realized sooner. Much sooner. It was the moment that she walked in with two cups of black coffee. Renesmee despised black coffee, she loved coffee but only with a shitload of milk and sugar. She never drank it black.

Enzo never body swapped her. Milly never left the body of Renesmee.


Okay so what do you guys think? Let me know :D
