*Jacob*

I knew she wasn't ready for a realationship. You could see the youth in her eyes. Her knowledge may be advanced for her years but her experience wasn't. Even though I know that it doesn't make ignoring the fact that I am in love with her any easier, she's my other half and no amount of time or distance is going to change that.

Edward had told me before the party about his and Bella's gift to Renesmee. I guess he was trying to avoid me protesting it in the middle of the party and ruining Renesmee's Joy. If I hadn't seen the happiness in her face when she received the gift I probably would have.

Now that it was just she and I, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness knowing how long she would be away from me but I tried to push those thoughts to the back of my mind. I tried to focus on the now, so I shifted my gaze over to Ness.

I saw her sitting on the edge of the cliff looking up at the stars; I couldn't help but admire her beauty. It was then I realized how far we had gotten judging by the cliffs we were about 30 minutes (walking) from her house.

I walked over and sat down next to her, my question still burning in the back of my throat.

My the expression on her face I knew she could see past my fake smile so she proceeded to ask, "Jake, What's up?"

This was it now or never, I thought about how to word my question and I could see the hurt in her face when I said, "Why do you think you have the right to just leave?" That was truly how I felt but I had meant to ask in a gentler way.

I saw the hurt turn to anger on her face and I knew there was no going back from what I had just said. "THE RIGHT? Jacob you don't own me. You're not allowed to say that! Why can't you understand this? You're supposed to be my best friend, and your not acting like one, you know how trapped I feel! I'm not happy here Jake, why can't you let me go. I'm not ready to be in love Jacob, but apparently you are and that's great Jake, it really is. But don't wait for me, Love someone whose ready to love you back. I just can't right now."

She had tears streaming down her face; I didn't know what to say. I looked at the ground trying to comprehend what I just heard realizing I was about five minutes from home.

Before I could recollect myself she just muttered, "Go home Jake, That's what I'm doing." I stared dumbfounded into the place she had just been standing. Deciding she was right, a pang of anger hit me and I knew that trying to talk to her now would do nothing but upset the situation further, so I turned around and defeatadly walked home.

*Renesmee*

As I ran farther into the forest oblivious to were I was going, the sobs finally wracked my body and I stopped sprinting and made myself into a ball on the ground. Why did he have to make me feel guilty about something I wanted so badly?

I decided I needed somewhere to channel my anger so I did what any other half vampire would do, I hunted. I was in the mood for a carnivore and I didn't care what I had to do to get it.

I ran about three miles further away from where I was before I smelt mountain lion, Yum. There were three of them and I wanted to drain every single one. I let the vampire in me take over and snapped two of their necks while the third one ran off. I drank the first with utter delight then moved onto the second savoring every drop. I was oblivious to what was going on around me until I felt razor sharp claws dig into my back, realizing it was the third mountain lion coming back to fight.

I screamed in agony as the animal continued to dig it's claws into me. I knew I would loose too much blood if I didn't act fast, so that's exactly what I did. I reached for any part of the mountain lion I could. Successfully latching onto its tail with my arm and jerked it backwards off of me.

I thought the animal had given up its fight by then but it had a lot of fire and came back for more, successfully scratching my forehead with its long claws. A scream bellowed out of my throat at the pain of the cut. As I began to feel dizzy from my pain I laced my fingers around the lion's throat and broke its neck.

I was still bleeding profusely and knew I had no chance of making it if I didn't try to make my way back home now. As I began to try to get my bearings I realized I was a good thirty miles from home. I was going off of adrenaline because my wounds continued to bleed causing me to be dizzy.

After what felt like forever I finally began to hear the familiar voices of home.

*Edward Pov*

It's been about 2 ½ hours since I've seen the birthday girl and I began to get worried. It was then I felt my nostrils flare as Jacobs wolf scent entered the room. H had an apologetic expression on his face as he said, "Hey where's Renesmee, I need to apologize."

I then proceeded to growl, "I thought she was with you, she's SUPPOSED to be with you."

He then started with, "Edward we got in a fight about two hours ago, I haven't been with her since then."

I was too scared for Renesmee's safety to be mad at him at that moment. I gathered all the members of the family in the living room to devise a plan of how to find her. About five minutes into various different plans' that were all centered on finding Renesmee the front door swung open and in walked a bloody Renesmee.

Her pants were ripped in various places, she had abandoned her shoes and her feet were now barefoot. Her white tank top was now covered in crimson and as I looked for the source I realized it was coming from her back. As I looked at her bloody face I saw the dizziness in her eyes and I rushed to catch her collapsing body.

"CARLISLE," I called. He rushed to my side in an instant the entire family let out gasps and hisses of shock.

"Take her to the medical room." he told me. As I carried my limp daughter up to the room I began to feel her wake up from her unconsciousness. Her sounds started as a whimper and then morphed into screaming and she gradually began to become aware of her pain.
