Melanie's POV
The bell rings and everyone's set to go. After my teacher's final words to his lecture, everyone gets up, grabs their backpacks and leaves. I sigh, stuffing my hands into my pockets. I sense the stares of others as I pass by, and I can't say that I've gotten used to them. As the girlfriend of the ever-so-popular Seth Clearwater, I understand that this task wasn't as easy as I thought I would be. I grip firmly onto the ring that bound around my neck with a chain as I walk outside, waiting for Seth and Leah. I smile at the memories, drowning in the thoughts of them.
Then I heard tires screeching, quickly parking into the space just several feet in front of me. "Renesmee!" my grin grows wide from the sight of my partner-in-crime and best friend. She tells me to get in, but I hesitate to do so. Seth suddenly comes up from behind me and tells me to go. Before I leave, I kiss him on the cheek and sprint towards the car. Now there's nothing holding me back.
"Go! Go! Go!" I laugh, shutting the door of the car once I'm in. She backs up the car, and we're on the road in a matter of minutes. "Isn't this your dad's car?"
She nodded. "I borrowed it."
"So where are we going?" I ask.
"To the mall." she says with a grin. It's apparent that she has planned this ahead of time. "We need you to get ready for your wedding, of course!"
"Nessie," I say, chuckling quietly. "You really shouldn't have..."
"Remind me again, who's the matron of honor? Well, unless you made a mistake of course..." she says this as if it's a threat.
"You are, for sure." I smile at her reassuringly.
"That's right." she grins. At this point, I'm afraid of what she has planned for me. But at the same time, I'm grateful to have a friend like her. I mean, who isn't? I can say honestly, that Jacob Black is one lucky kid.

When Renesmee and I arrived home, it was late. If you looked outside, the sky was hues of blue and orange blended together like the results of sunset and dusk in a blender. As I saw this before getting inside the Cullen household, I secretly wished that Seth could enjoy this experience with me. But that was oh so selfish of me.
Dr. Carlisle greeted us once we stepped inside. "Melanie! It's so good to see you."
His wife, Esme, immediately pulled me into a hug. "It's been a while…"
After we pulled apart, I laughed nervously. Carlisle and Esme made us leave our bags in Renesmee's old room, and they guided us to Carlisle's study. He told me the results of my blood test... and told me of my "divine" power. "Our venom does not affect your blood." He said. It seemed as if he were really tired out. "I can't figure out why…"
I hopped onto the stool, peering into the microscope. And there was it, the proof. The solid evidence, that my blood just might be some sort of cure. I was bewildered, really. Why me? I thought. I really wasn't sure if it was a good thing, I mean. If other people knew, wouldn't I be considered a threat to the vampire world? It just gives the others a better reason to track me down. I sighed, and then backed away from the stool to let Renesmee see it for herself.
At the exact moment that Renesmee finished, Alice busted the door open. "Alice?" Esme turned to see her daughter at the door, which truly looked like she was going to have a fit. Alice hugged me at the sight of me well being, she seemed relieved that I was alive and well.
"Melanie, you can't stay here." She whispered into my ear.
Renesmee gasped. "She's coming, isn't she?"
Alice nodded, releasing me from her grip. "I don't know how, though…"
Then suddenly, something flashed like lightning in my head. I remembered something so important, that might be able to save me. I looked at Carlisle, "You have to get it out of me, please!" He looked at me like I was crazy, then I added. "Alice, your mother chipped me. That's how whoever's hunting me down knows where I am. She's using a damned tracking device! No wonder why I keep having the same nightmares… They have to be the same person, I know it."
Then out of nowhere, Renesmee grabbed my arm and led me to her room. "Seth is here," she explained. "He's going to take you home. We'll take care of it."
I frowned at her. "Am I going to see you again?" She didn't answer. She opened the window and she called for Seth, who was there and he waited for me with open arms. "Wait, why here?"
"Because, late at night, I used to sneak out to see Jacob." She whispered into my ear. She held the window open for me and told me to jump. I did, and I swore I heard her yell my name and the promise she made. "I'll be there, I promise!"
I immediately knew she was talking about my wedding.
Now, I wasn't even sure if there was going to be one,
