So sorry for yet another 2 week delay! I will try not to keep you guys waiting that long ever again.


I storm into the living room and throw myself on the couch, ignoring the Denali clan.

Edward was the most frustrating creature that had ever walked the earth. I don't know how Bella had managed it.

I sigh, Bella once again intruding my thoughts.

I wonder when the leeches will have a funeral.

Well, I guess it's not really their decision, is it? It's Charlie's.

Speaking of Charlie, I wonder how he's doing.

My thoughts wander for a couple of minutes before Seth slams his way into the house.

He hadn't been here since Bella passed away.

"Jake, I need to-" His eyes wander to the foreign vampires in the dining area. "Oh, hey!" He says, waving to them.

Kate grins and waves back, walking over to where Seth stands.

"I'm Kate." she says, sticking her hand out, oblivious to Eleazar staring daggers in her back.

"Seth." Seth says, shaking her hand, and oblivious to me staring at him angrily.

"So what do you do around here, Seth?"

"You, know, the usual. Running perimeter, keeping out the bad, keeping in the good." He laughs.

"Sounds fun." Kate grins. "Maybe, I will run with you some time."

"Sure. It would be good to get a change of people out there." He points with his thumb to the door.

I clear my throat. "Uh, Seth, you wanted to tell me something?"

"Oh! Right." Seth peeks at Kate, embarrassed. "Sam wants to talk to you."

I sigh. "Human?"

"Yeah."

Well, at least I don't have to morph.

"Tell Sam i'll be there in a sec."

Seth nods toward me. "Uh, bye Jake. Bye Kate." He smiles shyly at her.

"Bye Seth!"

I get up from the couch to go check on Renesmee.

I knock on the door where she and Edward sit.

"Come in." Edward calls softly.

I open the door and find Renesmee sleeping peacefully in his arms.

Edward is smiling gently.

"Uh, I just wanted to let you know, I'm going to go see Sam."

He nods, waving me away.

A flash of anger appears and quickly disperses.

I shouldn't be mad if Edward wants time with his daughter. I would too.

I sprint as soon as my feet touch the earth outside, arriving at the edge of the perimeter in seconds.

"Jacob." Sam says, stepping out from the shadows.

"Sam." I nod my greeting. "What do you need?"

"I know something is going on and I have not been informed." he says, looking at me in the eyes as if I was still under his rule.

"Well, I'm sorry. I didn't know I was supposed to run to you when something happened." I snapped, glaring at him with anger.

"I guess your not." Sam says softly, looking at the ground. "But Jacob, this is bigger then you. I can feel it. The pack can feel it. We have already gained three more members in the past four days. Something huge is about to happen. Something you are not telling me."

And he was right. This was bigger than me and my resentment. This was about Renesmee.

I sigh, and spill everything that has happened over the few days.

"We're in." Sam declares.

I nod. "We need all the help we can get. That reminds me, there might be some vampires coming our way. Don't kill them. They are here to help us."

He agrees.

"It was nice to talk to you again, Jacob." Sam says.

I shrug.

When he is gone I sprint back to the house, wanting to spend as much time with Renesmee as possible.

Before the battle begins.
