Jake ran behind a tree to phase, we were running to the cliffs, and he had to undress to phase without ruining his clothes. I heard the load explosion like sound as changed into his wolf form. He trotted out from behind the large pine tree he phased behind. I took his shorts which were hanging out of his mouth. I loved his wolf form, he was so fuzzy that he looked fat with all the fur. Of course he gets mad when I say he looks fat, he says he's just puffy. My father thinks this is hilarious along with my uncles Jasper and Emmet. Poor Jake. His height, as a wolf, came up to the top of my rib cage. When I was little I used to ride on Jakes back. Now I prefer to run along side of him. I inherited my fathers speed and can run as fast as he can, Jake has learned to keep up.
We ran all the way to the cliffs, I held Jakes shots in my hand as he galloped alongside of me. The pads of his paws muffles on the soft moist soil. I was barefoot, as always, and I could feel the soil start to become more sandy. The cliffs were up ahead so I slowed down to a human paced walk. I handed Jake his shorts by putting them in his mouth. I took off my hoodie realizing how cold it was up here on the cliffs with the wind blowing compared to the house grounds. Jake jogged over and stood next me. His torso bare with his red athletic shorts sitting low on his hips. I looked up at him his shoulder length black layered hair blowing with the wind making all disarrayed. I was curious as to what he and Rose were discussing earlier in the family room.
"Jake? What were you and Rose talking about back at the house?" I asked in almost a whisper. A blush forming over my cheeks as I brought up the subject that obviously Jake did not want to talk about. He looked forward, facing the horizon, his features softening as he sat down his long legs hanging over the side of the cliff.
"Nessie there is something I need to tell you. I don't know how you will take it, but I want you to hear me out." I sat down next to him, copying his position. Our legs just barely touching. I looked at him encouraging him to go on,
"Before you were born I loved your mother very much, however she obviously chose your father. I was very hurt by this but I needed her in my life. So I stuck around while she was pregnant with you, I helped her give birth, I took care of her when your father left her, etc. I wasn't happy, I wanted your mother to love me like she loves your Dad. As a werewolf there is something that happens when he meets his soul mate. It's called imprinting, when the guy imprints on the girl she becomes his life. He will be whatever she wants him to be, a brother, a protector, a best friend…a lover, anything. I've imprinted Nessie." I whipped my head so fast to look at him that my neck cricked. I looked up at his face, studying it. My eyes filled with tears, Jake was leaving me.
My voice cracked as I spoke, "Who is she?" Jake turned to look me, his eyes filled with confusion. I looked down at my lap feeling stupid for thinking that I loved him. "When you were born, Ness, I felt like your brother and protector. When you got older we were best friends. Now…things are different, I've realized how beautiful you are, how energetic and full of life and I want to be apart of that. I imprinted on you Renesmee."
I didn't believe what I heard at first, did Jake just say he imprinted on me? Did I hear that right? "You…imprinted on…me?" I asked timidly. He nodded, "I love you Nessie." I grinned, Jake was mine. "I love you too Jake." I said as he turned towards me.
He leaned forward towards my face taking my hand in his intertwining our fingers. "Can I kiss you?" I rolled my eyes at him trying to be a gentleman before I leaned forward towards his face and closed the distance. Our lips touched and something sparked, his lips were soft like clouds but the muscles moved against mine making them firm. His hands gripped my waist pulling me up against his hard body. His hands on my waist rubbed circles with his thumbs tickling me but I didn't care. I felt his tongue slid across my bottom lip asking for entrance, I opened my mouth just a small opening and his tongue slid through and danced with mine. The way he was kissing me made me forget my name, I was dizzy and in heaven.
Oxygen became an issue so I pulled back breathing hard. "Want to go cliff diving now?" I asked smiling. He let out a bark like laugh that vibrated through his chest. "Sure Ness." We got up standing away from the ledge. I pulled off my shorts standing there in my bikini and I was cold. I hate being cold, especially since I'm a girl. Apparently Jake noticed this, a low sounding growl escaped his lips making me shudder. He was so damn hot. I smirked at him before running and jumping off the cliff.
Jake and I spent the whole afternoon jumping off of the tall cliffs and kissing. My afternoon was completely perfect. We raced home as usual but when we reached the house Jake stopped me before I ran inside, "Nessie will you be my girlfriend?" He asked me blushing, I grinned deciding to tease him. "No Jake, I think I like Sirius now…" I grinned as he immediately caught on. I laughed but he grabbed me around the middle tickling me. I'm so ticklish, it's unfair that he knows its my weakness. "Yes, okay! I will be your girlfriend! Stop tickling me!" I gasped as I laughed, thank god he stopped. "Good!" He said rolling his eyes before throwing me over his shoulder and smacking my ass, which actually hurt!
"Ow! Damn it Jake put me down!"
"No I don't think I will, besides you're always complaining that you want to be taller. Don't you want to be taller?"
"I'm not short! I'm fun sized!"
"Yep defiantly haven't heard that one before." He said laughing as we walked up the porch steps. Opening the door he walked in while I was still on his shoulder. "Yo Emmet! Catch!" I was thrown to my uncle who caught me with ease. Jasper came flying down the stairs upon hearing me yelling at them to put me down. "I WANT TO PLAY!" I was thrown to Jasper and then to Jake. These "adults" need to start acting their age, I'm not a football.
The flames in the fireplace glowed a sudden green releasing James, Sirius and Remus who stepped through and into the living room. Jake dropped me on the couch and ran over to them. Sirius was a lot like Emmet; loud, big, perverted and obnoxious. I love him like a brother though, along with James and Remus.
James was very smart, he was the kind of person that didn't need to pay attention during a lecture but still excelled in the exam. I hated him for that, however he lacked a lot of common sense. James was very loyal, if he called you his friend he would have your back and take your secrets to the grave. We met in first year on the train and were friend instantly along with Remus, Sirius and Jake. Even though Jake was older and was taking classes of the same level we were he still hung out with us and participated in our daily pranks that we always seemed to get caught. Right now, Sirius, James and I hold the record with the most detention in all of Hogwarts history. My father is not pleased.
Remus was different, he is a werewolf, or a child of the moon as my family have said. Unlike Jake he can only turn during the full moon. My parents are very peculiar about Remus, he too is immortal and has stopped aging like Jake and I have. During the full moon the wolf part of Remus takes over his mind and he has no control. His only goal is to kill, he needs blood like I do to survive. When the guys and I found out about Remus we wanted to help, however we couldn't help in our human form because if he bit us we would fall under the same fait as he and I would die. His venom is poisonous to me in natural form, or human like form. The only way we could help is we were to turn into some form of animal. Jake was all set to go but the rest of us weren't. We did a lot of research in the Library at school and finally found something called an animagus. It took a really long time with all of the potions, spells and charms but we finally pulled it off and by our third year we could turn into an animal in an instant. Sirius was a huge black shaggy wolf, he was as big as Jake which made sense since they were related. James was a dark brown stag with white markings and large antlers. I'm a fox, Jake says I look very pretty in my fox form with my floppy ears and white chest and tip on my tail which was extremely bushy. I was a lot smaller than the guys but I had vampire speed and strength.
I got off of the couch and hugged Remus, his tall muscular stature pulled me against his chest. "Hey Nessie, how are you?" He said in a strong British accent. I smiled, "I'm good, Jake and I are together now." I said blushing as he laughed, Sirius heard this and got a look on his face as if Christmas came early. "You finally got her! After all these years of you complaining about Edward and how much you love her, how pretty she's getting, how talented she is, how much she amazes you! ALL THAT SHIT AND YOU FINALLY GOT HER! HALLELUJAH! Now all we need to do is get Lily and James hooked up! I need a drink." Jake burst out laughing along with Emmet and James. Remus just shook his head but a smile ghosted his lips. I looked down my long gold red curls falling around my face to hide my fire truck red face. Remus and James followed Sirius into the kitchen as they talked with Emmet and Jasper.
Jake walked forward and cupped my face with his hand, I leaned into his warm touch, "Nessie, sweetheart, I hope that doesn't bother you that I talk about you all the time." I smiled and leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek. "No Jake, I think it's sweet." I smiled as he leaned forward to kiss me on the lips.
"Good, now I'm hungry. Go make me my sandwich woman!" He said as he pushed me towards the door. "I'll make you a sandwich when hell freezes over." I said.
"Well I guess that means you'll be making me a sandwich because I'm so hot I make hell look like the North Pole!" My father gave Jake a look while my mother laughed along with Sirius. Remus sat beside my father with the same look. I went to the fridge and pulled out the supplies to make a sandwich. "Lily should be here soon." My father said as the rumble of her truck came into hearing range. I grinned and ran out the back door towards the driveway as a her huge Ford truck came into view.
