Leah's POV

Wow. I never thought I would actually be helping Renesmee escape her bloodsucker family. Jake is going to be pissed. Oh well, I see through it. Jake can't because he is swooned by the thought of Renesmee, but under all that cool exterior, she just wants to break away from obligation and live. So do I. That's what made me come. The boys are tired of hearing my thoughts so I'll take myself out of the picture. Sam would love that, so now he won't have to feel so damn guilty all the time. "So where are we headed now?"

"I was thinking Texas. There is too much sun for the family to look for me during the day and I always wanted to see a beach with hot sand for once." Renesmee smiled her perky smile. God, I was jealous of that stupid thing.

"Well then why don't you just go to California then? It's much closer?"

Renesmee looked exasperated, "Exactly. Closer means easier to find. I could hit California in a night on foot if I wanted to and dad is much faster than me."

"Oh yeah. Sorry I didn't think that far ahead." We sat in silence for the next few moments until Renesmee turns on the radio to fill the awkward silence.

When we enter Texas, I realize I have no clothes packed and I'm going to have to ask to bum some cash so I can buy a few outfits. Great, I bet she's going to give me a hard time about it. "Um…Renesmee? I don't have an extra pair of clothes to change into."

"Yeah, I was thinking about that. We are about the same size, of course you are curvier than me, but I can't be blessed with everything. Don't worry you can share mine, believe me, I packed like Aunt Alice." She smirked at the inside joke (her aunt is a fashionista and never wears the same thing twice….ever.).

"Really?" I was surprised at her generosity. She usually acted defensive or unemotional around me.

"Sure, Sure. The only real problem I have is that you will fill out my own clothing better than I do!" She adds a playful tone to let me know that she is kidding.

"Thanks. I really appreciate it." Wow, vamp girl has feelings. Who would've thought?"

We stopped in Austin to check out the hot spots in Texas. There is this city called Corpus Christi right on the coast that looks like the perfect spot. It's big enough to lose someone in but not too big that it is well known throughout the country.

It takes a little over an hour to get there, but normally it would have taken around three. (I love the speed of vamps, I just won't let them know it.) we check out the places for rent and get a decent furnished apartment with six months advance pay and rest for the night. So far so good for Operation: Runaway.
