I'll get to the part about Charlie later.....
Bella's P.O.V.
We're finally here. Renesmee stares in awe at the house. It's large, with almost no windows. I don't even know what color it is because so much dirt was caked up on the sides. The ground is tremendously rocky, and the air is humid and dry. Renesmee silently asks me where we are.
"We're at Nahuel's new house!" I tell her with fake enthusiasm. The only reason I came here was that I knew Nahuel wouldn't tell anyone where we are. Renesmee places her hand on my face and recalls the memory of him staring at me. She squirms in my arms. I uncomfortably lift up my hand to knock on his door, which took quite some time. In a few seconds, Nahuel opens the door. His face lit up when he saw me and Renesmee, then turned unkind as he saw Jacob.
"Hey Bella!" he said, never taking his eyes off of Jacob.
"Hey." I answered lamely. "Can you do us a favor?"
Nahuel quickly responded "Of course! I would do anything for you guys!" He looked directly at me.
"We need a place to stay for a few months." I tell him, smiling grimly as I think of the months ahead.
"Of course!" He said after giving Jacob the death stare.
We all shuffled inside. Jacob brought Renesmee to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I sat down on the couch waiting for them to come back. Nahuel sits next to me, a little too close for my comfort. I awkwardly rearrange myself so he's farther away.
"So what happened to Edward?" he asked after an uncomfortable silence.
"He's at home" I said, twisting my wedding ring.
I saw him notice the ring, and then he asked, "So are you and the dog, like, together?" His voice had a hopeful tone to it.
"No" I answered simply.
"Oh." He said, leaning closer to my face.
I back away. I could see the hurt look on his face.
Before I knew it, it was time for bed. Well, for everyone but me. I miss Edward. I should let him know that I'm okay. I get a piece of paper and start writing.
Edward,
I know you must think it's stupid that I ran away. I'm sorry, it's for the best. I'm sorry I took Renesmee away too. I'll bring her back as soon as possible. Tell Emmett I forgive him, I deserved it. Go easy on him, it's not his fault. Tell Charlie that I'm sorry too. I'll write again later. I love you
Bella
Then, I started to cry loud, tearless sobs. I covered my mouth and buried my head in the pillows, hoping I wouldn't wake anyone up. When I was done, I looked up and saw Renesmee standing in the doorway. I regained myself, and then asked her what was wrong. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she ran up and gave me a hug.
"I miss Daddy!" she sobbed into my shoulder.
"I know, I miss him too" I replied.
"Why can't we go back?" Renesmee asked, struggling to contain tears.
"You're going home as soon as possible" I replied. My voice sounded alien to me.
"Can I lay by you until I fall asleep?"
"Of course you can sweetie" I said. Nessie snuggled closer to me, and soon her breathing slowed and her tears dried. I stayed like that all night.
Jacobs P.O.V.
Every morning when I wake up the first thing I worry about is Renesmee. I leaped out of bed, grabbed the shirt I wore yesterday, and jogged into the kitchen. Nahuel and Renesmee were sitting at the table with almost empty plates.
"Jacob! You slept in again!" Renesmee laughed. I walked over and rustled her hair.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked her. Usually she comes jumping on my bed at three in the morning.
"Mommy told me not to. Let's go play outside!"
"Jacob needs to eat first" Bella told Renesmee. I shrugged, then grabbed a handful of eggs and stuffed them into my mouth.
"Leth gwo" I said with a mouthful of food. Renesmee laughed and pulled me outside.
"What do you want to play?" I asked
"Princesses! I'm the princess and you're my servant!" Renesmee informed me.
I bowed deeply and she giggled. We ran around for a while, and then sat down in the shade to rest.
Suddenly, a weird feeling came across me. I looked around. There was nothing there. I relaxed for a while until I smelt something strange. Wolf? The pack couldn't have followed me here……. I sprung up and ran inside with Renesmee. Bella and Nahuel were sitting at the kitchen table, talking. Bella quickly jumped up when she saw my face.
"What happened?" she asked, moving over to Renesmee.
"There's a strange scent outside. It smells like wolves, but different from my pack." I answered grimly.
Nahuel jumped up.
"The wolf tribe? Oh no! I told them to stay away!"
I heard footsteps outside the door, about eight or nine "people".
Bella picked up Renesmee. Nahuel went to answer the door, with me standing right behind him.
The people outside our door were definitely wolves. They were huge! I was a head shorter than most of them. The one is front was dark, muscular, and looked like he was ready to rip me into shreds.
"How may we help you?" Nahuel asked, his over polite smile covering his whole face.
"We found a weird scent." The alpha said. "It was a wolf of some sort, but didn't smell like our tribe."
"That was me." I answered. Despite my efforts, my voice shook a little. He was huge!
"Just to let you know, we have a treaty here. We barley allowed this half-vampire to live here. Vampires are not allowed." He said, glaring at Bella.
His eyes wondered around. When his eyes found Renesmee, I could the center of his universe click into place. He just imprinted on my Nessie.
I lunged straight for his throat.
Like it? cliff hanger!!!!
