Again, thanks for the comments! I'm so excited; you guys are almost caught up to where I am. Only a couple more chapters, you finish breaking dawn in the chapters I'm posting today! All the next chapters I will post after today I came up with on my own. Can't wait to hear what you guys say! Well, enjoy!

Chapter 37

I'll race ya, Seth. I laughed, prancing alongside my little brother. I was in a good mood, Quil and Embry were asleep.

Leah. . . Seth complained.

Oh, c'mon, I'll ease up! I promised.

We both know who will win. But he let out a barking laugh and took off, gaining a head start.

I bolted after him, relishing the freedom I felt when I ran. Well it wasn't much of a work out, I caught Seth in a few strides, eased up, and still over took him.

Then we felt Jacob phase. He was hunting with Renesmee. I watched with his eyes as she took down a buck that was clearly bigger than his. Beaten by a 3 month old, eh? I laughed, Seth joined in.

Jacob was laughing but when he turned to Bella his whole emotion changed, he started growling. What is it, Jake? Seth asked, stiffening.

I don't know but Bella is worried, you guys get over here. We took off, only too eager to earn our keep. Seth and I had been fighting to remain above Quil and Embry in the pecking order. Jacob didn't comment on this.

Seth and I pulled in just as Carlisle and Edward did. Bella spoke quickly to them, ignoring us. "She was up on that ridge." She said, pointing to a cliff in the distance.

I think she saw a vampire she knew. Jacob informed us.

"Maybe you should call Emmett and Jasper and have them come with you. She looked . . . really upset. She growled at me."

Edward snarled. "What?"

Carlisle put a hand on his arm. "She's grieving. I'll go after her."

"I'm coming with you." Edward insisted, and they took off in the direction of the cliff.

Jacob poked Bella, he was worried and wanted Renesmee out of danger. Bella nodded and we raced towards home, Seth and I flanking on either side.

***********

Days passed and they were unable to find the vampire they saw on the cliff. I dismissed it but couldn't help but wonder if something bad was going to happen. Jacob left us a couple nights later to go see Renesmee, like he always does. But he came back in a hurry.

We have to go talk to Sam's pack. He spoke quickly. His thoughts were frantic and I could barely make out what was going on. But we all caught that something was coming.

Calm down, Jake. What's going on? Who's coming here? I asked a little impatiently.

The Volturi. He replied simply but his thoughts wove together the tail for us. Evidently the leech on the cliff mistook Renesmee for an immortal child – a child that was turned into a vampire. They're illegal evidently in the vampire world and now the leaders were coming to assassinate the entire Cullen coven including Renesmee. We can't let that happen to her. We need to join forces with Sam's pack. I had never seen Jacob's mind so frantic.

We ran in a stunned silence. Once we reached the border Jacob howled and the other pack joined us quickly. Jacob was about to phase back to human form when he paused. Guys I can hear Sam.

What? We chorused.

I can talk to Sam. He said simply. Sam we have trouble.

There was a pause while Sam replied. You're included in this. The Volturi are coming because they think Renesmee is an immortal child. They are coming to kill all the Cullens. We have to fight them or at least make an appearance to maybe scare them away.

Another pause. It's the ancients, all the guards, and even their wives. Evidently the wives never leave the castle. I'm not sure how much that is in total but enough to make the Cullens terrified.

Pause. I'll be way to busy at the house to handle newborns, and I'm sure there will be a couple. You'll have to take them.

During this pause Sam shifted his feet and looked nervous. Thank you so much, Sam. I knew I could count on you. You wouldn't want to miss out on slaying a couple leeches.

Jacob shrugged at Sam's reply. I have to get back to the house, we'll keep in touch. Jacob turned and we all followed after him, leaving Sam's pack standing stunned in the moonlight.
