Shreds of Hope

by MissGabrielleHale

After the stand off between the Volturi and the Cullen's turned into a ferocious battle, Jake and Renesmee were forced to flee. But that battle may have just been a warm up to what they're about to face...better than it sounds, so please give it a chance!

2. Chapter 2

This is a short chapter, and I'm sorry.
Thanks for reading (:

Memphis was actually quite nice.

It was nice and warm, and I loved the bustling city. Renesmee and I stayed at a second rate hotel on the outskirts of town. I wanted to save as much of the money she had given us as possible. I couldn't just waste it. We knew we could only stay a few days, if that. If Demitri had survived, he would be looking for us any day now. It was best to be as hard to find as possible. I took Nessie to see all the sights our second day there. She liked spending time at the hotel though, swimming at their pool was quickly becoming her new favorite pastime. Occasionally it would hit me. Bella, the girl I had loved and lost, was now dead. Though I didn't feel the same way about her anymore, I still loved her. Grief washed over me every time I thought of her. I had to keep my emotions in check though. For Renesmee's sake.

The next three days were uneventful, then we were on a plane to New York. We were going no farther east than that. I didn't want to be anywhere near Italy. The flight was quite short, and we were checking into yet another hotel.

I went through the bag Bella had left us again, and found another note, this one addressed to me. It had the words "For hiding" on top followed by a set of coordinates. It was somewhere off the coast of Brazil. I didn't think there was anything much there, but I trusted Bella, and that would be our next hideout.

I had hope that Demitri was dead. He had not found us yet, at least. That thought was quite comforting, maybe Edward had finished him off. He said he was going to for Alice.

Alice… I'd forgotten about her. Where was she? She was obviously in hiding, but hopefully she would come looking for us soon. That would be hard for her though, we were both blind spots. For the first time, I was annoyed at that fact. I wanted her to find us. I wanted to know what she had been up to and if she knew anything new about the events that unfolded in the clearing.

We were in New York for five days, and then we were off to a series of flights leading us to Brazil. I couldn't help but wonder how long this game of hide and seek would last until we were found.

Please review!
Merci!
