Dreams - Chapter 4

Renesmee's POV

"Good Morning Jake!" I tried to wake him as nicely as I could.

"Good Morning Nessie." Jake said groggily.

"Esme has breakfast all ready for us downstairs." As if he couldn't smell it!

He yawned and put a pillow back on his face and tried to go back to sleep.

"Aren't you coming down with me?" I asked in a pleading voice.

"Sure, sure." I smiled at him and he smiled back.

When we went downstairs, we were surprised that Tanya's clan was already here.

"Hey guys!" I exclaimed.

"Wow! Look at you Nessie! You've grown so much more!" Kate remarked. The others nodded their heads in agreement.

I blushed at all the attention, even though I should be used to it by now.

Grandpa came up and started to discuss some things with them, saving me from any more embarrassment. I was intrigued with what they might say. Jacob stayed by me.

"So you know that we are uncertain of what Aro's presence means. It can either be a fight to keep Renesmee, or he must have proof with his own eyes that she indeed is continually growing."

"Like always, we are behind whatever you decide to do." Eleazar said which made Carlisle smile.

I feel my stomach growling now, so I run into the kitchen. Jacob follows.

"Grandma Esme, can I have some breakfast now?"

She laughed a small, polite laugh then said, "Of course! I thought I made all this food for the birds when you guys didn't show up!" Jake and I chuckled.

Usually I eat very politely – full of manners, but I was just so hungry that I piled the food into my mouth as fast as I could – just like Jake. I even fought over the last piece of bacon with him. Unfortunately, I can't resist those cute puppy eyes of his. It wasn't until I finished eating that I saw everyone stare at me in disbelief. Oh…oops. Dad laughed and the room joined him.

After we were done eating, I wanted to ask Jake what an imprint really is. I know that, when I was younger, my parents told me that Jacob would always be there for me as a brother or a best friend. It sounded fine to me then, but now I was wondering if they didn't tell me the whole truth. It just felt like something was missing.

"Jacob, do you want to go down to the beach?"

"Sure, sure! Whatever you want, Nessie."

We walked hand-in-hand, smiling and chatting the entire way there. Once we did get there, we sat on the beach over looking the ocean. His face grew more worried. He could probably tell what I was going to ask him.

"Jacob?"

"Yes?"

"What's an imprint? I mean, what really is it?"

I could tell his face grew from shock to anger and then to confusion.

"Nessie, you're still too young. Maybe in a year or two…"

I cut him off, "Stop with the 'I'm too young' crap and tell me!"

"Nessie, please understand…" his voice was very sad and quiet.

"I'm not too young Jake. I'll show you!" So I showed him my dream from last night. When I pulled away, I couldn't tell how he was reacting to it. Anger? Happiness? Sadness? Confusion? Ugh! Too bad I don't have mind reading.

"Jake! Jacob! Talk to me! Please!" He just sat there silently.

After some time to let it absorb, I guess, he replied "I…had…no…idea."

I was utterly confused. I just kept staring at him, hoping he'd say something more. He didn't. Instead, he cupped my face with his gentle, hot hands and kissed me on the lips. Me! I was so happy I touched his forehead and replayed it for him. He smiled.

He explained a lot more to me- how we were destined to always be together and no matter if I chose him for my husband or not, he would be there for me. He also told me how he felt when I was born. Mom had said something about her and Jake's past was intricate. I wondered what that meant and he told me. I was shocked. Him and mom? Eww! He told me that it was just a crush and never anything more though, which helped comfort me a little about the situation, yet it still took some time to soak in. I just can't believe that! But he also told that because fate knew mom would have me, it made Jake stay closer and closer to her.

I still wondered about dreams though. Could he control them?

"So, does the imprint on me mean that you can interfere with my dreams?" I asked very curiously.

"Hah" he laughed, "I wish."

I snuggled with him, happy that this imprint he had on me was a little bit clearer.

"So, what do you think about my dream?"

"Well, it's kind of disturbing, but yet flattering," We both laughed.

After a long look out at the ocean he says to me, "You're the only one for me Nessie." He smiled and I blushed.

I was totally dumbfounded – What do I say to that?? I tried to form words, any words, but nothing.

"You okay Nessie?" I could tell he was concerned with my lack of words. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have unloaded all that on you." He said in a very sad voice, like he was regretting what he just said. I had to say something to change that!

"It's okay, really! I'm glad you did Jake. I'm just not sure what to say right now." I chuckled and he joined in.

The moment was just too perfect! As soon as we were in a mile radius of the main house, dad comes out and yells at Jacob, obviously knowing what he had said and my reply to it.

"Jake! She's still so young!" Dad snarled at him, then turned to me, "You'll have plenty of time to make up your mind about him young lady."

By now, everyone was aware of the circumstance and was out listening to us.

"But dad!" I whined.

"No! Go to your room. Now!" he practically screamed. I could feel Jasper relaxing everyone.

I did as he said, but slowly. I heard Jake try to calm him down and looked back.

"Edward, we've went over this so many times! You can see that my thoughts are pure."

"Yes," he sighed, "I guess they are…" He turned towards me Uh oh. "Young lady, I don't want you to do anything to change that. I've listened to your dreams from your head. I don't like them." he said in disgust.

I blushed. Emmett saw it and started his barreling laugh, which made me blush even more furiously.

Tonight was basically the same as last. Jacob slept in my bed with me and I dreamt the same intoxicating dream. This time I could see the reason behind it. I dreamt of my wedding.

It looked beautiful with the large number of white roses and candles everywhere. Everyone who knew me was sitting, waiting for me to come down the aisle. I even saw Grandma Renee and Grandpa Phil! I've only seen pictures of them because mom says going there and seeing her was too risky for everyone.

My dress was so long I had a hard time walking, yet it was so elegant. It was white, A-cut, and strapless. It clung to my body and made me feel so beautiful! No doubt, Alice had this dress custom made and tailored for me. My long train was being held by her and Rosalie as my dad walked me down the aisle. Dad had the proudest grin on his face.

Then I spotted Jacob. Whoa! Jake's in a suit? Wow. He looked even more gorgeous than I remember. Is that even possible? He caught my eyes and gave me his signature all teeth smile. I was about to faint. Could this be my future? But all of a sudden, the entire Volturri coven came in and killed everyone. Everyone except me! But why?

They took me back to their dungeon in Italy and told me to choose between joining them or be killed. I didn't even have to think about the answer. So I told them to kill me. There was no point to living in a world without anyone who loves you. Family is everything and the Volturri are definitely no family. They are just a bunch of murderers and will never change.

They accepted my decision and the moment before my "execution", I woke up from that horrible dream and sat up.

Did I scream? I wait a few moments. Nope, good. I lie back down, kiss Jacob lightly to make sure I don't wake him up, and go back to bed. Hopefully no more nightmares tonight.
