Renesmee POV:

- - - - - - - - - - - -

"PLLEEASEEEE? Please? Please? Please? Please?" I begged my mom.

"No Way!" she said as she kept walking down the hallway.

I got down on my knees in front of her and whined, "You said you loved me! P-L-E-A-S-E come with us shopping! You can't leave me alone to face Alice!"

She simply walked over my kneeled body, "Renesmee Carlie Cullen. You know what happened last time. I refuse to go shopping with Alice again. Deal with it."

Oooh she was good. Trying for the past week to come with us this weekend, I was getting nowhere. I'd begged her for at least and hour everyday but she just wouldn't budge.

Apparently she went with Alice on her and my dad's first wedding anniversary and Alice tortured her.

Dang. There was no chance at all. I could see it in her stubborn eyes, the ones I inherited from her. I did have an ulterior motive here. Besides having her keep Alice's frenzy shopping away from me, she distracted me from my thoughts of Jacob.

I don't know how she could tell but somehow she always knew when I was missing/thinking/dreaming of him. And she never failed to pull me out of it. The ploy was working quite well. I had the entire family fooled into thinking I was over Jacob, yet that was the furthest thing from the truth.

"RENESMEE?!? WHERE ARE YOU? WE HAVE TO MEMORIZE YOUR CLOSET TO EVALUATE THE NEEDS OF YOUR PERSONAL SHOPPING EXPERIENCE!," I didn't understand half of what Alice was saying but I knew I needed to run out the door right about…….now!

I sprinted away, just letting the running instinct overtake me. Of course my mind drifted to Jake; it always did when I was left to myself. I didn't know why, or how, but he was always there.

I heard feet running behind me that snapped me out of my trance. Someone was following me.

I suddenly went into my instinctual hunting mode- one I hadn't occupied for several months. Letting out a small growl, I spun around to face my intruder- I couldn't recognize the scent yet I knew I should.

Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. What the heck was he doing here?

Seriously, Nahuel had probably the worst timing anyone could ever have. Ever. I loosened up my posture but kept a distance. He came to an abrupt stop before me and his eyes filled with devotion.

Okay, here's the deal. Of course, I'M the only non- related female to him, so he has become my stalker. Let's just say that is a very very very mild way to put it. Before we moved, he sent me roses every day. And everyday Jacob would throw them out the window. But did that stop Nahuel. Oh no, it didn't.

Several times growing up he informed me of the fact that he had planned our lives together. This plan of course involved me falling head over heels in love with him. Yeah Right. But he never seemed to get this memo so he would stand outside the house like a love-sick puppy waiting for a glimpse of me.

That was until Dad, Emmett, Jasper, and Jacob finally went outside with baseball bats and told him he was never to see me again. Obviously, he never got the point. He smiled and walked up to me, grabbing my hand in his. EEW!

"Oh my Renesmee, you have grown into a fair maiden that is about to be swept off her feet by a knight in shining armor!," Didn't I tell you he was a freak.

I responded by turning my head in all directions and saying, "Where is he?"

He simply laughed and kneeled down in front of me, "Renesmee, I love you with the passion of a million burning suns. Of course you feel the same way so I think its about time we tied the knot."

Oh that arrogant pig! He's the last person I would ever think about marrying. And his nerve! "NEVER! I would rather alone in a cave then be your wife, you creeper!" I jerked my hand away from his to slap him in the face.

Suddenly he sprang us and grabbed me in a painful grip I couldn't escape from. I struggled but I couldn't loosed his hold. He began to sprint away while holding me.

"Listen here. You will marry me, and you will do so now!" he said with a growl

"Like hell she will," oh thank God, Uncle Emmett came running full speed at us.

Nahuel turned around, flabbergasted as I pulled away. Jasper appeared out of nowhere and tackled him to the forest floor. Suddenly I felt my mom's arms wrap around my body.

"Oh Renesmee are you okay? Tell me!" Her face was filled with worry.

"I'm okay, I think you all came just in time though," was all I could squeak out. I was in complete and total shock. He appeared out the blue, ready to force me to become his bride.

I saw Uncle Jasper and Uncle Emmett dragging a struggling Nahuel into the depths of the forests. I didn't know what my uncles were going to do to him but I highly doubt that he would be able to walk for a few days. Dad ran over to me and grabbed me in a hug as my mom walked over to Alice, who had just appeared.

"How dare he think he can kidnap you and force you to marry him?" my dad was fuming.

I just stood there, letting myself lean on his frame, all my strength gone. Sobbing I let my tears get absorbed in his shirt. The thing that scared me the most was that during the entire time Nahuel was speaking to me, the only person I could think of was Jacob. When he was telling me to marry him, Jake was the one was I was imagining.

If my dad was listening to my thoughts, he didn't let on. The anger was rolling off him in waves, I didn't have to be Uncle Jasper to realize that. We stood there for a long while, Dad just letting me cry while stoking my head lightly.

I heard screaming and a couple minutes later my uncles re-appeared. As I pulled away from my father, I wiped my eyes and pulled myself together.

I walked over to my mom and Aunt Alice who were in a furious whispered debate. Once they saw me they glanced at each other and then turned to me.

" Oh honey, I was going to hunt you down to make shopping plans when I had the vision Nahuel was going to show up! Of course Edward heard me seeing it, grabbed Emmett and ran out. I told everyone else and we ran over here," Alice's face was filled with concern.

I gave her a hug but then said, "I just want to go home and sleep. Can we go back now?"

She and my mom nodded and we all started sprinting back. Upon reaching the house, I walked up the stairs, got into a pair of sweats, and went to bed.

Jacob POV

- - - - - - - - -

The fighting was intense. Everyday we thought we were close to defeating them, the next we were dead wrong. The packs were seriously getting on my nerves. With Leah's sarcasm, Seth's constant optimism, and everyone's homesickness, we were in constant arguments.

Mostly when we weren't planning an attack, I just sat in that cave thinking about home. About one person in particular. I guess things were getting better, but I couldn't spend one day without thinking of Ness. I became brutal in battle, letting out all of my stresses on our enemies.

Some intruders broke me out of my thoughts. I heard them before anybody else did, so I sprang up. I ran over to Sam where he was barking orders in his thoughts-

"Get up everyone. We have 2 enemies approaching from the west. Everybody get into our formation from yesterday's meeting and go," Sam's thoughts rang out.

As we left the cave, I picked up the scent of a three members of the other pack. They were sprinting towards us, their jaws snapping. Suddenly Sam said the commanding word, "GO!"

Then all hell broke loose. We were running around, 3 wolves per attacker. Sam, Paul, and myself each took one with two younger fighters. Brady, Embry and I strode towards our assigned approacher. Embry and Brady tackled him to the ground. I then tore out his jugular vein by his throat and let Embry and Brady finish him. I turned around to cover their backs as I evaluated the others. Leah, Sam, and Collin looked fine but I began to worry as I looked at Paul, Jared, and Quil. They had taken the largest one and Quil was bleeding.

I didn't think about it; I just ran over to them. Bounding over the other fighters, I landed on the largest wolf's back. Paul was yelling at me but I couldn't comprehend his thoughts. Suddenly I was thrown on my back, several ribs crushed again. Sam ran over to me, finished with his intruder as the others killed the final rival.

Sam picked me up with the help of Seth and began to take me to the cave. On the way he yelled at me, "JACOB! If there were more wolves there, you would've been dead. You need to think before jumping into battle. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

As they laid me on the cave's dirty floor, I replied, "Everything."

Renesmee POV

- - - - - - - - - - -

As I woke up, the sun was brightly shining through the windows. I glanced at my alarm clock on the nightstand. 7:30 PM. Ouch. I slept through the rest of yesterday and last night. Yesterday. Oh right…..Nahuel. I wonder what they ended up doing to him; do I even care? Nah he got what he deserved.

And then I was crushed by a sense of pain. What the heck? It felt as if one of my ribs hurt really badly. Last night I had a dream of Jacob fighting. It was a nightmare, a horrible vision I couldn't wake up from. The pain lingered but slowly melted away. That was strange…..

" Oh Nessie….! Wakey wakey sunshine! We are leaving for LA in an hour so hustle your bustle young lady," Alice chimed as she entered my room. She is always so happy right before big shopping trips.

I realized after what happened yesterday I would have to look extra normal today. Haha normal. Like that has ever applied to anyone in my family.

"Ok Alice! What do you think I should wear?" It was always smart to ask advice from Alice, she gets flattered so easily.

I heard Dad's loud laugh boom through the house, so I knew he heard me. You know I'm right! He laughed again before calling up, "Yes Renesmee, you are."

Alice didn't even notice this, she was already rummaging through my closet picking the perfect outfit. "Hmm Nessie, I haven't realized you have some really good pieces in here. Since we will be traveling, you should try this." She threw a pair of jean Bermuda shorts at me with a lavender halter top.

I took them with me to the shower, where I quickly got dressed. I re-evaluated myself in front of the mirror. My cheeks were getting rosier, my hair seemed a tad bit curlier. I was struck by how much older I looked. I was beginning to resemble Mom when she was 18- I had spent hours going through their wedding album. I wonder what Jacob would think of me if he saw me now…..

Then Rosalie entered my bedroom, ready to fix my hair. As she pulled the brush through my soft waves she sighed. "You've really grown honey. I used to do this when you were a baby, and now you are as tall as me!"

She finished brushing it and pulled it into a bun at the nape of my neck. Accessorizing with a ribbon, she was finished. We walked downstairs together where I quickly consumed a bowl of Lucky Charms- yum!

Alice bustled in ready to leave. With a final plead to Mom I said, "This is the last time I will try, PLEASE come with us!"

She gave a short giggle, "Nope sweetie. This one is up to you!"

Darn! She hugged me as Dad walked in. As he hugged me he whispered in my ear, "Are you okay from yesterday. You can stay here if you need to."

I kissed his cheek and said, "Yeah I'm all good. And I wouldn't want to disappoint Alice now would I?"

He laughed and reminded me to take my IPhone, Carlisle's last Christmas gift to me. As we walked to the garage, I asked Alice, "Can we take Aunt Rose's convertible? I kinda want to ride with the wind in my hair…"

She smiled and said, "Anything you want Nessie. This trip is all about you!" She obviously didn't realize my plan with the car. Haha no one did! This might work.

Aunt Rosalie finished putting our luggage in the trunk and hopped into the driver's seat. Aunt Alice took shot-gun which meant I had the entire backseat. Uncle Emmet walked over to Rosalie and planted a kiss on her waiting lips. Ok, that's too much PDA for me now. Seriously get done with it.

As we reversed out of the driveway I waved to my parents and laid back. As I put my headphones into my phone to listen to music I lay my head back. The song playing was No Air, my favorite since Jake's departure. The calm of the road and music lulled me into a peaceful nap.

Ok, I'm sorry I made you wait for that…I realized I had a HUGE exam to study for on Thursday……

Here's some heads-ups:

1. Yes, Renesmee is now able to feel when Jacob is in physical pain. Its part of her maturing.

2. Don't know her plan about the convertible? Don't worry, it will be revealed during the next chapter.

Thanks for reading and PLEASE review!!!!! Love ya!
