Chapter Six - Beach Bonfire
I stepped out of the car and looked at the Clearwater residence.
"Come on Ness." Leah said grabbing my hand and leading me through the house.
"Hello Renesmee how are you dear?" Sue smiled
"Great thanks." I said nodding taking in the house, it was very similar to The Black's but bigger.
"Mom you do know about the bonfire tonight right?" Leah asked and Sue nodded. "Don't expect me home early."
"When are you ever home early Lee?" Sue laughed, i've made cookies if you girls want some.
"Hell yes!" I squeeled running in the direction of the cookie smell. Sue Clearwater's cookies were my favourite growing up. I sat on the couter and took one from the plate it was still warm.
"Yumm, Sue these are truely lush." I said picking at the cookie and putting it in my mouth. Sue grabbed hold of my left hand.
"Nessie, I never realised how beautiful your ring was. Wow!" Sue exclaimed pulling my hand up to her eyes so she could inspect the rock a little more closely. I took a second cookie.
"Wow Ness! It's massive!" Steph exclaimed.
"I saw it at the wedding but I can never stop marvling over how big and pretty it is, Jake has great taste." Leah started.
"What did Embry say Steph? Thats it, 'Gok Wan eat your heart out'." Claire giggled and Sue laughed too dropping my hand. I took a third cookie and started.
"I think Alice had an input." I said "Jake is getting better at shopping though" I admitted.
"Nessie you might as well just eat the whole plate." Sue laughed.
"These are my last two." I said picking up two more and hopping off the stool, refusing to look at the plate so I would not get tempted.
"Right, come on girls, let's find Nessie something to wear tonight."Leah said ushering us out of the kitchen and to her bedroom. Leah's room was large and very neutral with greens,creams and browns painting her bedroom. I sat on the large fluffy chair in the corner while the girls tugged clothes from the wardrobe and put them on the bed, I fidgeted with my fingernails and thought continuously about Jake. Gosh I really missed him, it was just stupid how anxious I was to see him again. Leah broke me out of my reverie.
"Nessie what do you want to wear?" Leah asked.
"I might just wear jeans and my cliff diving top." I shrugged not particulary bothered.
"It will be cold nessie, what about jeans, tshirt and boots. You will most probally need leg warmers and a scarf too." she laughed.
"But I want to wear Jake's top." I protested jutting out my bottom lip.
"Hang on, I think I have my own version of that top but cooler." Leah said as she rummaged through her draws sure enough a few minutes later she chucked a purpled verison and girls style onr at me.
"It's lush." I exclaimed.
"You can keep it, I have it in yellow and green its yours." Leah laughed. "Take these as well, they will look great on you." she continued as she pushed me into the bathroom. I dressed in what Leah had given me not really seeing what I was wearing when I came back out all the other girls were changed. Leah was in leggins and a long top, Claire and Steph were both wearing jeans but Steph had a tshirt on while Claire had a jumper as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom they ushered me to a mirror.
"Nessie you look amazing, you have a great figure." Claire complemented me. I must admit I liked what I was wearing. Purple tights a black skirt and the purple top Leah had given me, i was also given black boots, a black jacket and metalic scarf to complete the outfit. While the other girls fussed over that hair and make-up they were gonig to have I just fluffed mine out and added some glitter to my eyes, I added no lipgloss as I expected kisses off Jacob to make up for the time we were apart today.
"So Nessie where are you staying?" Leah asked as she applied mascara.
"With Billy I think, i'm not 100% sure." I said suddenly aware that me and Jake had nowhere to stay, unless we went back to the old house in the clearing...
"Oh, so do you and Jake share a room at home?" Leah casually added.
"Nope. My dad would never allow it, not until we're married at least." I said.
"Whats the furthest you've gotton with Jake then?" Steph asked. Were they seriously asking me about my love life? My face fell into a mask of horror.
"Ness, we are girls, you can tell us these things." Clarie added. I was so shocked.
"Um...well we've kissed and stuff but nothing more." I said shyly
"So you haven't gone 'All The Way'" Steph asked
"No." I sighed.
"But you want to?" Leah asked, she had stopped doing her make-up and came to sit by me, the other two followed soon after.
"Well of course, but..." I said
"But what?" Leah said twirling my hair.
"My dad and uh...I don't know how." I admitted embarressed.
"Don't worry me and Quil haven't do it yet." Claire said.
"Me and Seth have loads of times." Steph shrugged and Claire giggled. I stared open mouthed.
"I know, I feel so sorry for the boys who have to share his mind." Claire laughed
"And me!" Leah added shuddering. All four of us collapsed into a hit of hysterics as we continued to talk about our relationships. Before we knew it, it was time to go and see the boys. I was so excited practically jumping up and down as I dragged the others to the car.
"Let's get going!" I whined
"Bonfire time baby!" Claire and Steph cried in unison as Leah said goodbye to Sue.
Jacob's POV
"Will you miss me?" she teased keeping her hands tight around my neck, I could smell her sweet breath. I kept my arms firmly on her waist. Is this what Bella meant when she said Edward dazzled her?
"Like you've taken have of me away." I sighed. It was true.
"Come back soon and get it then." she continued to tease before kissing me one final time. Yup. Definately dazzling. With a heavy heart I realsed my princess and headed towards the door, it took all my effort to keep going forward and not to run back and kiss her again. I decided I was strong enough so when I reached the door I turned back and was faced with the image of beauty. Geez! Did she always have to look so beautiful. I was now in dangerous territory and decided that I better not risk it so I swanned from the room and ran into the forest to phase. I removed my clothes quickly and felt the heat course through my viens, suddenly a giant brown russett wolf was standing in my place. I was greeted by the voices in my head.
Hello Romeo Embry snickered and I growled, I saw they were just North of the mountains so I started to run, concentrating only on the gentle rhythm of my run. Dum Dum, Dum Dum, Dum Dum. As I picked up speed I started to wonder what Nessie was doing. Did she miss me?
God Jake! Do you have to think about her all the time? Jared questioned
Do you always have to imagnie Kim in very little or nothing on Jared. Seth replied
You'll see her at the bonfire later tonight, the quicker we are done running patrols the quicker we can get back there. Sam instructed. We ran for hours up through the high mountains and twisting in and out of the forest jungle, finally the patrol was over.
Back to Renesmee. A smile spread across my face. We all ran back to the forests to phase, the others hadn't left their clothes not far from mine so we were able to change quickly before heading up down the First Beach to start the bonfire. Sam and I set off to get wood for the fire while the others organised things back at the beach.
"Uh Sam? How's married life?" I asked intrested.
"It's good. Not really different from before, it makes me feel more bonded to Emily if that make sense?" Sam replied.
"Great. I think we're moving back to Forks." I said
"That would be better for the pack." Sam said. We walked for a while in silence collecting rocks as we went.
"Sam where did you take Emily for your honeymoon?" I asked, I had no idea where I was gonig to take Nessie and it was slightly worrying, maybe I could get some guidence off Alice...
"We went to Canada and stayed in a winter lodge, it was really cosy." he smiled. "Where are you taking Nessie?"
"I have not got a clue, I may have to talk to Alice to get a bit of advice." I laughed. The silence continued for a little while longer until Sam spoke again.
"So what does this man want that's after Nessie?" Sam asked in alpha mode now.
"Alice doesn't know, he has to be pretty strong because Nessie was fighting in the vision with him and she...lost. Carlisle doesn't think he's human." I said worried about Nessie. When I was away from her I worried more...
"What could he be? A vampire?" Sam asked
"He's not a vampire as Alice and Rosalie would have smelt that. They don't know what he is." I sighed getting angry.
"Don't worry about it Jake, nothing will happen to her." Sam soothed
"I just feel so damn helpless! I am supposed to protect her and according to Alice I fail. She's in danger and I don't know how to protect her Sam!" I ranted.
"Nothing will harm her Jacob." Sam promised. We had plenty of wood by now and we made our way back to came in silence, I was lost deep in though about what stupid creature would want to hurt Nessie. That was when I felt her plummett herself at me.
Renesmee's POV
We arrived at the beach but Sam and Jacob weren't there.
"They've just gone to get firewood." Seth continued to tell me over and over again. My anxiousness was building inside of me and as soon as I saw him emerge from the trees I catapulted myself into him. This caused the wood to fly everywhere and us to be on the ground.
"Oopsie." I apologised pulling Jake up with myself. We started to recollect the firewood.
"I missed you." he beamed.
"I missed you too." I joined in smiling, all the anxiety I felt earlier had dissappered and my smile grew bigger.
"Come on lets get a seat before all the good ones are taken." Jacob said pulling me along the beach, as we got down to where the group were essembled and I noticed the fire burning, the flames were blue and green. Beautiful.
"Wow, thats beautfiul." I said mesmerized by the dancing flames.
"It is pretty, the salt does it to it. But not beautiful, you put them to shame." Jacob said looking at my face. Wow he was sweet, I flushed.
"Next time i'm going to make sure I have a camera." Seth said mimicking Jacobs goofy grin, Steph smacked his arm.
"At least Jacob does and says romantic things for Nessie, when was the last time we did something romantic?" she scowled and Seth hung his head in shame. I sat down on a drftwood log thats when Jacob noticed my shirt.
"Where did you get that from?" he laughed pointing to my chest.
"What are refering too Jacob? The lovely purple shirt or what is underneath my shirt?" I teased, Jacob cleared his throat.
"The uh...shirt. Do you want to give your father a heart attack." he laughed embarressed.
"Dad can't have a heartattack becuase technically there is no beating heart to attack and La Push is part of my family now." I shrugged and Jacob kissed the top of my head, I snuggled up into his chest and listened as the group talked. My eyelids started to droop.
"Let's get you to bed." Jake said pulling me from the log. I was tired but I wasn't ready to sleep yet, this time alone with Jake was better than any dream.
"Let's go for a walk first, it's been ages since i've been here." I said, masking a yawn.
"Ok then, not long though you look like your about to collapse." Jake laughed and I smiled. I took hold of his hand and we walked down the beach.
"Am I breaking the treaty?" I asked as we walked.
"No, why do you ask?" Jacob asked confused
"Well, i'm half vampire and live on a diet of blood, arn't I banned from La Push?" I said.
"Well, your my imprint so your allowed." Jacob said. We had came to a tree on the beach and I sat on the log, Jake sat on a branch higher up. I scooted closer to him and leant my head on his lap.
"This was your mom's and my tree." Jake said suddenly
"Oh." I said pulling my head away."What a way to kill the mood Jake, talking about you and mom together." I huffed.
"No, I mean this is where we talked, this is also where she found out what your father was." he said seriously.
"Awesome..." I said trailing off and Jake laughed.
"I think we should get you to bed you look shattered." he said pulling me up, we started walking back the way we came with Jacob supporting nearly all my weight.
"By the way Jake, where am I staying?" I said
"At home of course."
"Billy's house or Cullen house."
"Umm, I was thinking Dad's house because I don't have a key for the white house." Jake said embarressed.
"Thats great, you'll stay with me right."
"I don't think your father would like that."
"Screw my father, you are my fiance and you are staying with me." I ordered staring at his face, we were walking up the road to Billy's house now. "Unless you don't want to stay with me." I added.
"Of course I want to stay with you Nessie." Jake whispered and kissed my head again.
"Then i'm sure your bed is big enough for two."
"I was going to sleep on the couch..."
"JACOB BLACK! YOU ARE STAYING WITH ME." I said suddenly alert, my eyes ran all over his face searching for any sign of reluctance. I could see him choosing between fighting my father and keeping me happy.
"Jacob it's innocent alright, geez. Your not stealing my virture. I will give that to you on our wedding night." I snapped and that answer made up his mind. When we entered the house Billy was still in bed. I pulled him silently through the house to his room and closed the door after us ready for our first night together...
