Chapter 4- The past and the furious

Jacob's POV

Standing in Bella's home. Standing in Edward's home. Standing near the one I thought was a monster. How did this happen? You think Bella would have at least called and told me she was alive! The bloodsucker could have at least suggested it. Here I am seven years later, sever years older, and standing in their home. That bloodsucker….

Nessie hasn't looked up from the ground. I can't tell what she is thinking. I'm not like the bloodsucker. Bella used to be easy to read when she was human, but Renesmee is not Bella. Only half Bella. The Bella I had loved. I have to get out of here. Now. Pronto.

"I better be going, Leah and Seth will be wondering where I've gone. I'll see you later, Nessie," I mutter as I shuffle through the threshold and run into the trees. I shift into my wolf form as soon as I can no longer see the cottage. I don't want to scare Nessie.

Who's 'Nessie'? Seth asks me.

Yea, oh mighty chief, who's 'Nessie'? My right hand wolf, Leah, joins in to tag team.

Cant you mind your own mind? I feel my old self drifting away from me. The thought of Nessie melts away my cynicism. I can't be angry when I think of her. That would be mean. That would hurt her. I must not hurt her. Not my Nessie.

Hey! Chief! You just said 'my Nessie'! Leah, did you hear that? Seth yelps happily as her runs through the forest trying to catch up with me. Leah doesn't respond; which is unusual for her. She would love the chance to mock me or make me feel guilty for staying away from the pack too long. Even though anything she would say would not stick to me. Only what Nessie says matters now.

Seth, where's your sister? Did she change back?

I dunno, boss. She was just here a minute ago. She was saying that maybe we should overrule you and become the leaders. We would totally be unstoppable! Of course, this was all her idea…

Sure, sure. That doesn't matter. Leah, answer me. Are you in La Push? Answer now. I can feel the weight of my command overwhelm her. She's a wolf. She has to answer.

No, I'm not in La Push. What happened to not abusing your Alpha power, Chief? Leah taunts scathingly.

You know as well as Seth does that that rule hasn't been applied in years. Things changed. They always do.

Okay. Fine. Who's the Loch Ness Monster you keep talking about?

DO NOT CALL HER THAT! I feel anger rip through my chest. If I wasn't already a wolf the emotion I feel now would have changed that quickly. My self control is good but not that good. Leah needs to lay off my Nessie.

Jacob, we're going over to Billy's house for dinner. Come if you want. Charlie's there though so keep the wolf thing on the DL. Seth warns me and then changes to a human, followed by Leah.

Now I can think. 'My' is that word I use now? Is Nessie 'mine'? I need to see her.

Renesmee's POV

Daddy sits down on my bed as I brush my hair. The ringlets were cute when I was younger but sometimes I wish I had Mom's hair. Not the color, just the straightness.

"Renesmee, we, me and your mother, I mean, need to tell you something about…tonight," Daddy says calmly. It isn't hard for him to control his voice. He can sound calm when he is fuming. I approach my bed with unease. "We want you to know we do not have any ill feelings toward Jacob. He once was a good family friend. Once you were born we lost contact with him. He did not approve of…your mother and I having a child. So once you were born we decided it was best just to not tell him. We are not ashamed of you. We love you. You are our little miracle. Our special little girl. We just want you to know you can ask us anything and we will be completely honest," Daddy finishes his speech and leaves the room.

I do not know what to make of anything. I feel different then I did a week ago. There seems to be more meaning to every moment. Not just another day in forever. It feels like I have something to live for again. My parents have given me much to think about but I can't think of anything but Jacob. I love him. Is that so odd? I've seen true love all my life. I just assumed it wasn't for me. There aren't many freaks like me. Half-breeds. I don't want to mate with Nahuel. He is too old for me and he only likes me because I'm not his sister. That isn't love. That is greed.

Jacob doesn't look at me like everyone else does. He doesn't give me the same look my family and friends do. He gives me the look I want, a quizzical thinking look. He notices there is more behind me than a pretty face and a beating heart. I hope…

"Nessie…Nessie…Nessie…Are you in there?" I hear a voice from outside my window. It is a lovely husky voice I have just learned but feel like I have heard it forever, Jacob. I climb out from my bed and go to my window. Jacob is there wearing nothing but jeans. His normally russet colored skin looks ghostly in the moonlight. Like a vampire.

"Jacob? Of course I'm in here. What are you doing here?" I ask quietly. I feel my heart soaring!

"What does it look like? I'm here to see you, Ness!" Jacob whispers back. I open my window and slide out onto the dirt. Jacob helps me stand up. Even though he knows I don't need his help. I don't complain because the feel of his skin on mine feels like a sparkler has been placed on my arms.

"Can you run?" Jacob asks me. I nod and chase him as he runs through the trees. We almost reach the end of the driveway when I see my parents waiting for us.

I've never seen them so angry. They look terrifying. Like vampires. The moonlight really helps. Jacob slows to a walk and waits for me to catch up. We continue walking until we reach my parents. I expect them to start yelling at me or sucking Jacob dry, but they don't.

"Edward, can you go back home? I think I need to talk to them alone," My mom says to Daddy. He looks angry with her but then nods and kisses her gently before running toward the direction of the cottage.

Mom looks distressed about how quickly Daddy left but soon recovers. She smiles at me and then glares at Jacob.

"Jacob Black. How. Dare. You!" My mother says in a harsh tone. I want to throw myself at her and I scream that I am to blame too. I wanted to go with him. But something about Jacob's cocky smile tells me to be quiet.

"Hey, Bells. How are you doing? Is that lifetime of servitude you promised me still good? I know that your life ended a while ago but I never got any use out of it…" Jacob says calmly and saunters closer to her. At first she looks furious but then reaches out and touches his cheek gently.

"Jake, you just can't kidnap her in the middle of the night! You must have some manners. And F.Y.I. Edward can still hear your thoughts…so keep it down, alright?" She smiles gently and turns to me, "Renesmee Carlie Cullen! You are seven years old! You cannot leave in the middle of the night without anyone knowing. And definitely not on a school night! Until you have…Okay, I got nothing. Just stop thinking so loudly. Edward seems to be bothered by your thoughts."

Jacob smiles broadly and looks down at me. "C'mon Bells, you can't stay mad at her. And you have to listen to me because you gave me lifetime of servitude. Also, I'm the Alpha!" This breaks Mom down and she nods and guides us back toward the cottage.
