Chapter 10
Romeo

Ping…ping...ping…ping. That is what I woke up to. I couldn't figure out what the sound was so I turned my lights on. Ping…ping…ping…ping. What is that? Then I realized that someone was throwing pebbles at my window. I walked over to my window and opened it up. It was Antoine out there. I leaned out my window.

"What are you doing out there?" I whispered. "But Soft What Light through Yonder Window Breaks, It is the east, and Renesmee Is the Sun!" he shouted back. I could feel myself blushing. "Renesmee, I had to see you one more time in person before I lie myself down to sleep tonight" he answered. I looked around for something to throw out the window for him to climb into my room on. I saw on the poles of my canopy bed, that there was long fabric.

I tied it all together and threw it out the window. Antoine must have read my mind because he climbed up immediately. He crawled into my room and smiled at me. "One second." I said. I walked out of my room and into the living room. Alice and Jasper had gone hunting and wouldn't be back for a few hours. I walked back into my room and closed the door. "Okay no one is here." I said. "How are you this evening Renesmee?" he asked in a velvet voice. "I'm feeling amazing." I said smiling. "Where are your parents?" he asked. "My parents went out of town, sort of a second honeymoon." I answered. We stood there in silence and I could feel my heart beating. I was getting nervous in his presence and I was scared of what was going to come. He moved toward me with such grace. He gently moved a strand of hair from my face, leaned down, and then kissed me. I hugged him and pulled him against me. I ran my fingers through his hair. We kissed for what seemed like hours.

Suddenly my window flew open, causing me to jump. My lips separated from Antoine's and I released my hold around him. Jacob had climbed into my room and I could tell he was mad. "Who are you?!" he exclaimed at Antoine. "I am Antoine; I'm a friend of Renesmee." Antoine replied politely. "Yeah, that sure looked like friends!" Jacob said rudely. "Hey! Jake you can be a little nicer to Antoine." I intervened. Jake began to move towards Antoine as if to attack him.

I through myself in-between them in attempt to stop them. They both backed off. "Okay Jake, you go home, I don't know why you are here anyway. Just go home." I said angrily. Jake looked at me and then at Antoine. He slowly made his way out the window. Once he was gone, I closed the window, locked it, and pulled down the shade. I walked back over to Antoine and hugged him. He lifted my chin up and looked into my eyes. He gently kissed me and I felt like I was safe. "Renesmee, I would like nothing more to continue this evening, but it would be morally wrong." He said in that melodic tone. I looked at him and I would have loved to continue the night as well, but I knew it was wrong and I decided to refrain from the half human hormones that I had. I nodded and hugged him again. How could I be so in love with this guy that I had just met a few days ago? He released himself from my grasp and kissed my forehead. I wasn't ready to say goodnight. I looked down at the floor.

"Antoine?" I asked. "Yes?" he answered. "It's just that-well it's-…"I trailed off. "What is it?" he asked sweetly. "I don't know anything about you." I finally choked out. He stared at me. We stood there in silence and I wondered if I had offended him. "Renesmee, why don't you come with me tomorrow? I'm going up north for some photography. It is a very quiet beautiful place. We can talk all you'd like there." He asked. I smiled and nodded. "I'd like that." I said. I walked back over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow." I said. "I'll be seeing you in my dreams." He said and smiled at me. I smiled and then he jumped out the window and was off into the night.

I stared out the window until I could not see him any longer. There he goes I thought. My Romeo, off to dream about me. I turned around and I went onto my computer. I logged into my chat to see who was online. Nobody was online to talk to so I set my status to away and decided I was going to go see if Alice and Jasper were back yet. I walked out into the living room and they were there. They were sitting on the couch and Alice had that blank look in her face. She was having a vision. I walked over there and sat down next to Jasper. "What's going on?" I whispered to him. "She's having a vision." He replied. We sat there and waited until she came back to us. She looked absolutely horrified. "Renesmee, you talked about a boy, Antoine." She said. What was happening to Antoine? "Yes?" I replied, my voice trembling. "He's in danger." She said looking at me. "wha-wha-what?" I asked trying not to faint. "Jacob is not happy with him; he's going to kill him." She replied, still looking horrified. I looked around and I bolted out the door.

Luckily I could see in the dark because it was late out. I ran into the forest not knowing where I wanted to go. "Antoine!? Antoine?!" I shouted into the dark. "Antoine where are you?!" I shouted again. I kept running until I saw him. I stopped and looked at him. I looked over to my right and there was Jacob. He was standing about 70 feet away, just enough that no human could see him because of how dark it was. Jake shifted into wolf form and I knew what was going to happen. I ran as fast as I could and lunged in between them.

Jacob and I collided and he landed on me. He didn't know that I wasn't Antoine so he began to try to rip me to pieces. I was struggling and finally when I couldn't stand the pain anymore I shouted out. "Jake it's me!!!" I immediately felt him jump off of me. I felt wet and when I looked at my body I saw that I was covered in blood. I began to shake because of my need to drink my own blood. I looked over at Jake, who was now in human form. He looked absolutely horrified, and then I looked at Antoine. He was standing there with his mouth hanging open. He rushed to my side and I could tell he wasn't sure what to do.

"G-gg—oo—go back to my house Antoine, t-tt-ell—tell Alice and Jasper to come quick." He looked at me, not wanting to leave me. I looked at him and he knew what I was thinking. He got up and began to run back to my house. I laid there trying not to think about the excruciating pain I was in. I could feel my body becoming week as I began to bleed. The smell of the blood was making my vampire instincts go wild. Jake was suddenly at my side. "Oh my god Renesmee, I-I-I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was you, I thought it was that scumbag." He cried as he spoke. "J-J-Jake g-g-go." I stammered. "I'm not leaving you, not now." He argued. "N-n-no! G-g-go! I hate you, just go!" he shouted. He looked at me with tears welling in his eyes. He got up and ran away. I just lied there, waiting to die. I felt myself drift in out of consciousness. I began to feel no pain. It was going away. Soon, I felt nothing at all.

I was now sure I was dead.
