Chapter 17

Jacob's POV

"Hey Nessie!" I called to her. She was up ahead running. I wanted to talk to her alone today about what's happening lately. I wanted to make her understand so that maybe she and Bella can convince Edward. Like, I usually don't care what Edward thinks of me, but like seriously, I need him to now.

"Yeah Jake?" I heard her call back from up ahead.

"Can we talk to you for a few minutes?" I asked her. I looked at Leah, who was standing beside me. She wanted to come with me to help explain. And we have been trying to spend more time together ever since we talked a few days ago.

Renessmee ran towards us.

"What's up?" she asked looking back and forth between Leah and I.

Leah's POV

"Nessie, we just want to talk to you about what I was talking to your dad about. Do you know what I am talking about?" I asked her.

"Yeah. Your friend and her family moved back to La Push and you can't tell them about being a wolf," she told me.

Wow. I didn't know she knew that much.

"Um, yeah. Well, Jake and I are trying to convince you're dad that everything's fine. But we aren't sure if he believes us. Do you believe us?"

Renessmee didn't even need a minute to think.

"I do. I know that you and Jake wouldn't trying to make my dad believe a lie."

"We wouldn't. So could you talk to your dad for us?" I asked her. She really understood what was happening. I looked at Jake, who was just standing beside me silently. I guess he was just letting me have the chance to talk to Renessmee. And I have to admit, she's not that bad. For a half vampire.

"I would but my mom already convinced him. I just wanted to hear what you wanted to say," Renessmee said smiling.

I smiled back.

"Really? Well that was easier than I thought," I said turning to Jake. He looked at Renessmee.

"Nessie, we have to get going. I'm on patrol."

"O-okay. I'll miss you," Renessmee said looking at both of us. I felt touched somehow.

She jumped into Jake's arms to give him a hug and I decided to join in. It may have been a bit smelly for me, hugging a vampire and all, but what could I say? I like Nessie.

Chelsea's POV

I was walking along the beach, kicking rocks around, when I noticed Jacob running into the forest. I decided to follow him. I was really curious to what he was going to in the forest. I got to the entrance of the forest just in time to see Jacob taking his clothes off. Before I could look away, he jumped or more like leaped ahead and standing before me was a wolf. The wolf started running through the forest. I turned and ran towards Leah's house. I didn't care that I was mad at her, she had to know what I just saw. I stumbled and almost fell a few times before I ran up the steps to her front door. I started banging on the door.

Leah's POV

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

It sounded like someone was trying to knock down the door. Just a few minutes ago, I had been on the phone with Max. I was glad that he understood that we are just friends. I wanted to do it in person but I was afraid of how he would react. I ran to the door and swung it open to find Chelsea standing there almost crying. I thought she was mad at me? Oh my gosh, something must have happened.

"Chelsea what-," I started to say with panic in my voice.

"I saw Jake turn into a wolf!" Chelsea interrupted me. I didn't know what to say. All I knew is that she knew.

"Leah! Jake is a wolf!" Chelsea said again.

I knew I shouldn't be the only one to explain. I stepped outside and closed the door.

"Chelsea, you need to follow me,"I said walking down the steps off the porch.

"Um... okay?" she said confused but with panic in her voice. She followed me as I headed towards Sam and Emily's . I pulled out my phone and sent a text to Sam, Jarred, Paul, Embry, Collin, Brady and Seth.

We have a problem. Chelsea saw Jake phrase. I'm bringing her to Sam's RIGHT NOW! We need to tell her everything. Somebody go get Quil and Jake. They are in the forest. See you in 5 minutes.

I pressed SEND.

I looked at Chelsea, who was walking beside me. It looks like she is scared, confused and completely freaked out. I wonder how she is going to react when we tell her.
