Hello! /\ _ /\ it's moony again. thank you once again for all the reviews (a grand total of THREE! no Misia-Alice-Annie-chan, you don't count, but like DarkSkye-dono, i love [not live..i fail] you.])

well any ways, please review, and this one will try to type as fast as possible

DISCLAIMER: does this one really have to say it? -sigh- *robotic voice* this one does not own twilight. copyright to stephanie myer.

Renny: ignore moony. she's just tired

moony: yeah, b/c of typing your life's story.

alec:...

moony/renny: WHAT'S WITH YOU? HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM?

alec: excuse me but i'm not exactly 'calm'. to those who don't understand stay tuned for the next chapter.

moony: oh yeah, this one apoligies if you hate cliff hangers. if you think that you've got it bad, when this one sometimes shows Aisim-chan the story, this one has a bad habit of not finishing her sentences. not that this one would pull that on any of you...:)

CHAPTER 3-Renesme

"You're free tonight?" Caleb asks for the thousandth time to day. I sigh, trying to mask my exasperation. This is getting really old. I open my mouth to refuse him, but he beats me to it.

"Please? It's just gonna be a little bonfire just a few miles out from town. A bunch of other people are coming too. You can bring Jessie, Pete and Jake." He says, giving me puppy dog eyes. "Come on N'esme. It'll be fun."

I sigh, hoping that if I say yes, then he'll leave me alone. "Alright." I can tell that he wants to hug me or something, but I give him a look that makes him control himself. Then I smile and dashed away to find my friends.

"No." Jacob snarls, the moment the words 'Caleb invited' come out of my mouth.

"Come on." I plead, tugging gently on his arm. "I already told Jessie and Peter. They were so excited."

He sighs and I know that I've won the argument…per usual –grins impishly-

"Fine, but I'm coming phased." He says firmly. I just roll my eyes, but kiss his cheek happily, as we walk towards our next class.

It's already dark by the time we make it to the beach. The flames of the bonfire are leaping and dancing, flying off the logs. Peter and Jessie's eyes are alight with excitement.

"I've never been to anything like this before." She admits. I laugh at this revelation. "Jessie, the life and soul of the party itself, admits that she has never been to parties?" I say in mock horror. She scowls and punches ,y shoulder lightly. Out of the corner of my eye I see Peter smiling faintly at Jessie…interesting.

"You came!" cries Caleb, as he breaks away from the throng of people crowding the bon fire. He wraps me in a hug, and I search the tree line for Jacob's wolven figure. Caleb nods to Jessie and Peter before ushering us towards the bonfire.

"Whoo! Lookie here! Caleb goes to check the car for goodies and he brings back a girlie!" hoots Carson, Caleb's best friend. I just give him an icy glare that makes him fidget, then look away.

We sing and dance for what seems like hours until I feel a hand grasp my wrist. I turn to see that it's Caleb. I open my mouth to ask what's wrong, when he points towards the woods and mouths 'I want to talk to you'.

I silently follow him away from the others and into the trees. After walking for a while, we enter a clearing, lit only by moonlight.

"What did you want to talk about?" I ask him, when a wooden stake whistles past my ear, a breath away from where my head was.

I turn slowly and find Caleb standing at the edge of the clearing, stakes in his hands. "Wha-?" but before I can get my question out, he lets loose a battle cry and attacks me.

Instinctively, I whirl around and give him a good hard kick in the chest which sends him flying into a tree.

He utters a word that is unrepeatable due to the fact that if my father, (or Jacob for that matter) heard me say it, they'd probably try to knock some sense into me…putting the situation mildly.

"Caleb what's going on?" I ask, my voice betraying my fear.

He glares back at me with hate in his eyes. "Filthy bloodsucker." He snarls picking himself up off the ground. I stare at him bewildered. "YES I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!" he screams at m, his eyes unable to mask his true fear and insanity. "You're always cold, you barely eat, you never take any food from any one because YOU DRINK BLOOD!" he lunges at me, but a great russet wolf barrels out of the trees and knocks him aside, growling, glancing at me to see if I'm okay.

"I'm fine," I stammer as Jacob gives me 'I-can't-believe-that-you-followed-this-jerk-into-the-woods-and-i-told-you-so' look.

"YOU STUPID WOLF, ATTACK HER ALREADY!" Caleb howls at Jacob.

How? How does he know all of this? How does he know that before, under normal circumstances, Jacob would've also been the one attacking me? I think frantically. Jacob snaps at me and pushes me towards the woods. I get the message, and dash into the darkness.

After running for 15 minutes, I finally stop and check my surroundings.

I whip around towards the sound of rustling behind me. "Who's there?" I call out, scenting someone else in the area.

"I am." A voice says behind me.

A boy, around my age with midnight hair falling into his eyes walks into a pool of moonlight, not to far from where I'm standing. He's taller than me, and has the aura of someone who has lived a long time, and knows a lot more than he'll reveal. But I'm staring at his eyes. His dark, seemingly bottomless eyes. He's giving me a blank stare, but I can see another emotion. It's very subtle, but I think it's hurt.

"Who are you?" I whisper. He blinks bewilderedly and says "Thunder."

I smile shyly. "That's a nice name." I say finally.

"What?" that confused look is on his face again. Thunder. That's a cool name." I look at his still puzzled face. "Oh, did I get in wrong?"

he clears his throat. "My name's Hunter…Chase." He says, the corners of his mouth tilt up slightly.

"Pleased to meet you Hunter Chase." I say. I cannot stop staring. There's something about him. Something that draws me in, but something that also is telling me to run away.

"What's your name?" he asks, stepping towards me.

"Renny." I immediately say the nickname that I've grown to love, given to me by Jessie.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Renny." He says, reaching up to touch my hair.

I close my eyes, and I feel him playing with some loose strands of my hair. A second later I hear Jacob running towards us. I open my eyes…but Hunter's gone…

see you next post!
