Chapter 20
The Hunt

My father, Rosaline, and I all ran into the woods. My father wanted to get as far away from humans as possible so that Rosaline wouldn't be tempted. He finally stopped in the middle of nowhere and smelled the air.

"There are no humans within miles of here." He stated. I nodded and turned to Rosaline. She looked up at me and waited for instruction.

"Okay, I'm going to teach you how to hunt." I said. She nodded and looked at my dad, then back at me.

"Okay, smell the air around you." I told her. She took a big whiff and then a smile came across her face.

"Do you smell something?" I asked. She nodded and then pointed to her left.

"Okay, Rosaline, take me to it." I instructed. She nodded and began to run in the direction.

She finally stopped and it was a large moose in the middle of a field. She looked at me with a smile.

"Can I have that?" she asked. I looked at my dad. He nodded and I looked at Rosaline.

"Yes, now what you do is—"she was already gone before I could finish speaking.

She ran to the moose and pounced on it. I was worried she would get hurt but she took down the moose with ease. I smiled and looked at my father, he was smiling too. She was on the moose for a while and finally she stood up and whipped her mouth and within a second, she was back at our sides.

"That was good." She stated. I smiled and looked around. I saw another moose in the distance and I did as she did.

"Are you still thirsty?" I asked. She felt her throat and shook her head.

"No I'm fine now, can we go home?" she asked. I nodded and we all ran back to Carlisle's.

"Mom, dad, can I talk to you guys in private?" I asked. They followed me into Carlisle's office.

"Well, see, Rosaline doesn't have a home. I was wondering if maybe she could stay with us." I asked. They looked at me and then at each other.

"I think that would be alright." My mother replied. I nodded and walked into the living room.

"Rosaline, you're going to come home with us tonight." I said. She smiled and ran over to me. We all said good bye and left the house. We ran through the woods and when we arrived at our house, Rosaline looked excited.

"This is where you live?" she asked. I looked at her and nodded. We all entered the house and I looked at my parents.

"Where will she sleep?" I asked.

"We have a bed set up in your room for her." My father replied. It was getting late and I could tell she wasn't tired yet.

"Should we go in my room and watch a movie?" I asked. She smiled and nodded.

I said goodnight to my parents and we went into my room. I let Rosaline pick out a movie from on demand. She ended up picking the movie UP, which I didn't mind because that is a cute movie. I let her watch it on my bed and while she did that I went over to the computer. I turned it on and signed into I.M. Antoine was online and he began to talk to me.

Antoine: Hello my sweet Renesmee

Renesmee: Hello, Antoine.

Antoine: So how are you, how is Rosaline?

Renesmee: I am doing well, I feel exhausted, like I haven't slept in days. Rosaline is doing great as well, she hunted today and she is watching a movie as we speak.

Antoine: That's wonderful; if you are so tired then maybe you should get some sleep?

Renesmee: I will, I just want to wait until Rosaline falls asleep, I don't think I'd be fair to her if I just went to bed and left her sitting up all alone.

Antoine: You're so considerate.

Renesmee: No, it's just the least I could do after what I did to her. She's going to live a life I wouldn't wish upon any other little girl.

Antoine: Please don't beat yourself up for this, I hate seeing you upset.

Renesmee: I won't, I promise…should I be expecting a midnight visit tonight?

Antoine: No, not tonight. We both need to catch up on our sleep, after all we haven't had a decent night's sleep in three days.

Renesmee: When can I see you again?

Antoine: Whenever you want to see me.

Renesmee: I have an idea.

Antoine: What's that?

Renesmee: Well, I want to show my family what a great guy you are and well…

Antoine: And what?

Renesmee: Well, I was thinking about having you over to my house tomorrow night.

Antoine: Renesmee, I don't think that's a good idea, I mean with what happen to Rosaline, I think we should just let the family cool off for a while.

Renesmee: *Sigh* Maybe you're right…I just can't stand going behind their back like this, I wish they would accept you.

Antoine: Don't worry, I'll find a way to make them like me.

Renesmee: You're so sweet, I don't deserve you.

Antoine: Wrong

Renesmee: What do you mean?

Antoine: I don't deserve you, Renesmee, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and every day I wake up and I fight with my mind, telling myself that you are just a dream…and I am just waiting for you to disappear and find someone who deserves you, but that's impossible because no one could deserve you, you are the most amazing, most beautiful, most wonderful girl I have ever met and I am blessed to linger in your shadow.

Renesmee: I love you, I wish I had something to say back to you, but there are no words that can compare to how you just made me feel other than…I love you.

Antoine: Now go get some sleep my love.

Renesmee: Will do, I love you Antoine.

Antoine: I love you so much Renesmee.

I closed the chat and looked over at Rosaline. She was fast asleep on my bed and I smiled. I walked over to her and gently lifted her from my bed and set her down onto hers. She looked so peaceful. I walked over to my closet and grabbed some pajamas and quickly changed into them. I pulled my hair back into a loose bun and crawled into bed. I shut off the lights and hugged my pillow, imagining it was Antoine.
