Chapter 12: Back to Forks

We arrived at the airport in Seattle at about 10pm. Dad had a rental car waiting for us when we arrived. It took us about an hour and 20 minutes, but then again, Dad's average speed was about 100. Jacob held me tightly in his arms as the car sped toward Forks. Mom warned us that her shield was down so that Dad could use his "built in radar detector" but it wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

My thoughts for Jacob were the purest that they could possibly be at this moment. I loved him, we were safe for now, and I knew in my heart that I wanted to spend eternity with this man, whom I had only kissed for the first time 4 days ago. I no longer could imagine spending a second of my life without him, and I knew that my hysterics over the past two days had not been about the possibility of my own death, but the possibility of his.

We arrived at our family home, and quickly exited the car. Jacob and Dad grabbed the luggage, and we headed into the main house. After Jake dropped his portion of the luggage in the entry way, he turned to us and said, "I am going to go wolf, so I can talk to the pack and get a schedule set up to do patrols. I'll be right back."

I turned to my parents and asked, "Where am I going to sleep? I don't have a room in this house, are we going back to the cottage?"

Dad answered, "No, we are going to stay in the main house, at least until the rest of the family gets back from Isle Esme. We are also going to keep the metal shutters closed on all the windows, so it doesn't look like any of us have returned, at least for now. "You can sleep in Aunt Alice's room and Jacob in your Grandparents."

Jacob walked back in the door and started filing us in on the wolves' plans immediately. "Sam agreed to have his pack help with patrols beginning immediately. He is sending Jared and Paul now to do the first shift and Embry from my pack, is already half way here. We will always have at least three wolves on duty at a time. They want me and Nessie to head over to La Push now, so that she can meet all the wolves she will be attending school with and to plan for her security. "

Dad nodded in approval and said, "I'll get the keys to Emmett's jeep. It is the safest vehicle we have since I returned Bella's Mercedes Guardian. Nessie keep your cell phone with you. "

We made it to La Push in about 15 minutes. We were greeted with hugs from all Jacob's friends and family, whom were sitting around a bonfire at the beach which they had started in honor of mine and Jake's return.

I knew almost everyone present, Quil, Billy, Sam, Emily, Billy. Grandma Sue, Uncle Seth, and Aunt Leah were also there, but not Grandpa Charlie. He was happy being kept in the dark about the supernatural world, even though his entire family was part of it. Though I still was scared out of my mind about Aunt Alice's visions, I felt very safe, and actually felt like I was starting to relax as I spent time with the Quileute's. Everyone sat in a circle around the fire on logs which served as benches. I sat on Jacob's lap, and Billy sat beside us. We feasted on hot dogs, burgers and tons of junk food. It amazed me that for a wolf, Jacob's appetite was about normal.

Once the everyone had sufficiently gorged themselves, Billy and Sam called the group to order. Sam stood before the group and called them to order and began to speak, "Everyone here is truly happy to have Jacob returned to us, especially with his evolving relationship with Nessie. Unfortunately, tonight is not solely for celebrations. Jacob, I need you and Nessie to tell the group of the possible dangers that her psychic Aunt saw."

Jacob and I quickly filled the group in about Nahuel, his past attempt to kidnap me which had been thwarted by my family, and her new visions of his aunt wandering to find him, while my family attends our funeral.

"My Aunt Alice said that the vision disappeared for her if we returned to Forks immediately, that is why we left the island early," I took a breath and then continued, "but sometimes her visions change again. She has to wait for someone to make a decision about what they are going to do, before she can see it. She can't see Nahuel at all, just like she can't see us. Now that he has left his Aunt, she really can't see him at all. My Aunt monitors mine and Jake's safety by watching those who care about us. She couldn't see what happened to Jake and me, but she saw the impact it hand on the family."

"Nessie," Sam said, "You and Jacob are important members of our family as well. All of us, Quileute's and Cullen's will work together to ensure the safety of both of you."

Aunt Leah cleared her throat noisily and started, "OK, now we need to start planning Nessie starting school. We need her to meet all of the younger wolves who attend the school and the other imprints, so she will know who to run to if need, and who she can and can not discuss our collective secrets with. Nessie, you will be starting school tomorrow morning at 8 am."

Sam nodded, and began to introduce some people who I did not remember from the last time that I lived in Forks. "Nessie this is Jason, he is my younger cousin. Leah has arranged for him to be in all your classes, since you will be starting school as a freshman. He is our newest pack member," I nodded, and Sam continued, "This is Kristen, she is a senior. Embry imprinted on her earlier this year." He continued, "And you remember Claire, she was only 6 when you moved away. She's 11 now, and she attends 6th grade. The Quileute School is small, and all grades attend in the same building. Everyone has lunch at the same time, and in general, the wolves and imprints stick together. We wanted you to know those whom you could trust with our secrets before you entered the school. Not every Quileute is aware that wolves exist, and it is as important to our family, as it is to yours that our secrets are kept."

"Of course, I understand," I responded. It was obvious that Sam trusted me with this by the way he grinned at me.

Sam reached into his pocket, and pulled out what looked like a silver bracelet with a large red carved stone in the center and handed to me. "This is sort of a panic button, like on a car. All the imprints on the reservation have one, but the range is 100 miles, so we will be able to respond if ever you need us to. It has a GPS system in it also, so if you are in danger, we can locate you immediately. To activate it, all you need to do is lift the stone, and press the black button inside the cavity."

"Thank you Sam," I said.

I heard my cell phone ringing, it was my Dad, of course, but I really couldn't be mad at him, it was about 3 am. I answered it and held the speaker away from my ear, anticipating the yelling.

"Renesmee, I expect you and Jacob to be home within the next 30 minutes or you will not be leaving the house again, ever," he growled.

"OK Dad, were on our way." I glanced up at Jake and said, "Better get back, after all, it is a school night." Jacob laughed, and we both stood. We quickly said goodnight to everyone and headed back toward the jeep."
