This is my first attempt at writing a "Twilight" fan fiction story. It is rated "M" for lemons that I promise will come later, I'm not one to just jump in. I have had this story rattling around in my head for a while. Stephenie Meyers owns Twilight and everything related to it.

Renesmee's POV

I woke screaming from a nightmare I had not had in months. Though I had never met them, I knew it was the Volturi. Those blazing red eyes were glaring at me through cowled black material. The dream was always the same. Ranks and ranks of these dark figures intense upon my destruction as they slowly advanced towards me were enough to terrify any sane person. I had never been near the battle that destroyed all the members of my family, except Charlie who had been sent far away with me for our own protection. A witness who somehow had survived had found us to report the loss, and give the information Alice had found, but which had proven useless in the end. Somehow, my unconscious mind knew that they would find, and come for me one day. I didn't know when, but one day we'd meet. Tonight's nightmare had been prompted by the numerous hours spent at Charlie's bedside, and on the road between Forks and Seattle every other day. The lack of sleep was catching up to me, compounded by the fact that I hadn't heard from J. Jenks yet as regarded Jacob, nor had I any idea what I was supposed to do with Charlie. Unable to talk, or care for himself, he was still in the hospital, and appeared to be staying there a long time, but the dive time was starting to tell on me. Slowly I got ready for the day, and the long drive ahead to Seattle.

Pacing back and forth as I waited for J. Jenks to see me, I was tempted to chew my nails, something I'd never done before. He'd called me yesterday and asked me to come in today. He had some news and some questions for me. "Mr. Jenks can see you now Miss Cullen." When I entered Jenks office he was looking over some paperwork,

"Have a seat, please; I'm just looking things over." He looked at things for another minute, and then looked up. "Thank you for coming in today. How's Charlie?"

"Not well, he's struggling to talk, and will need a lot of care for a long time. It's so hard to see him in this state. He's always been so active."

"Well that's part of why I called you in today. Charlie, long ago made arrangements for himself in case he was ever severely wounded in the line of work. He has enough money set aside for, and a spot guaranteed him in a long term care facility in Forks. The "Forks' Community Hospital" has a very nice facility which provides physical therapy, nursing care, and the daily attention he needs. Its rooms are semi- private, but he has made arrangements for a private room through funding many physical therapists through scholarships.

"It's a relief to hear that he made such arrangements ahead of time, I wouldn't know where to start if it were left up to me. I'm glad to hear that he'll actually be in Forks, that will save me drive time, but I'll be on my own, unless you've heard otherwise?"

"I do have news on that as well Miss Cullen. I heard yesterday from Mr. Jacob Black. He has accepted responsibility for your care and will be arriving shortly to meet with both of us. He took a flight from Montana this morning. He did say he was sorry to hear about Charlie's trouble. I thought it would be best to apprise you of Charlie's arrangements before he arrived so that it would not impede introductions." Just then his secretary buzzed. "Yes?"

"Mr. Jenks? Mr. Black has arrived."

"Send him in please, and ask him if there is anything he'd like to drink." The door opened behind me and I turned part way in my chair to look at the man who had betrayed his best friend thus killing her, and was now my guardian. Through the door came a tall, dark haired, man, dressed in a neat, but obviously used suit and tie. Though he had yet to face me, there was a strange pulling feeling in me, making me want to see his eyes, his face. I pushed it aside as a long suppressed desire to confront him over the death of my family and his beat friend. We would face that soon enough.

Jacob's POV

I followed the directions I received carefully through the streets of Seattle. Mentally and physically exhausted, my brain went round and round in circles. What was I supposed to do with the daughter of my best friend, and love of my life? What was I supposed to do about Charlie? Where was I supposed to find work? I hadn't been home in 10 years! I hadn't really worked a job for more than six months at a time in those 10 years. Who was going to hire me? I just kept on the move, and it showed in my resume. I cursed as I realized I'd made a wrong turn, and then got lost trying to circle back. It took me 20 minutes longer than it should have to find the office building that was my destination, and then 10 more minutes to find a parking space. Dang! Seattle had become more packed and crazy since I had last been there.

After parking and then walking the three blocks to the building, I was grateful to find it was air conditioned. I wasn't used to smoggy, crowded, heated streets. I had been alone, in the wild for too long. I entered the offices of Mr. J. Jenks and Assoc. to find the Secretary waiting for me. "You've been expected Mr. Black," she said after I gave her my name. Let me buzz him, and then you can go in.

Moments later I walked into a plush office space. A man, obviously J. Jenks, was seated behind an oversize desk. A young woman with curly, brunette hair was slowly turning to look at me. Oddly, again, I felt that odd pulling sensation. That was weird. I'd never met her before. I shrugged to myself and stepped further into the room. At that point our… e..y..e…s… me…..t and the world stood still.

Ok, Ok, I know, another cliff hanger. She obviously feels some resentment towards him, he's at a turning point in his life, and then they meet. Will it all be smooth sailing? That's for me to know and you to find out.
