Chapter 6

The next morning it was all sun just as Alice had predicted. After spending another bliss filled night with Edward, I went downstairs to check on Renesmee before she left for La Push beach. When I got to her room I knocked on her door as she said to come in. I saw that she was packing her beach bag with her wet suit and other surfing items, Renesmee loved to surf, I just prayed she would hurt herself. Even though she was pretty indestructible with no bruises of broken bones to show, she was still her mother's child, she could be a slight bit clumsy if she wasn't paying attention.

"All ready?" I asked her.

"Yeah, Jake should be here at any moment." She said a little monotonously. I could tell something was wrong.

"What's wrong Renesmee?" I didn't understand what was bothering her.

"Mom, I'm so torn. I want to marry Jacob, I really do, but I don't want to leave the family, I'm not ready to leave all of you." She started to cry after saying this. As much as Jacob loved Renesmee he couldn't bare to be around all of us vampires for too long. And he let Renesmee know that they could stay in Forks, but he did not want to live in too close a proximity to the rest of the family like Edward and I did. He told her that they needed their own space as a couple and that she could move to the reservation to stay with him. I knew that we would see Renesmee often, but I too could not bear to call Renesmee's name in or near the house and have her not hear me. I still needed my daughter, and she still needed me.

"Renesmee you knew this day would come sooner or later, the day where you would have to choose. That's why your father has kept going on with his ploys to try to keep you here with us. He's afraid that you will leave us and never come back. I know that you would come back but I'm still afraid of you leaving, but I would not force you to stay if you really were ready and wanted to go."

Just then it was a knock on the door. Smelling that it was Jacob, I knew that we would have to finish our conversation later.

"Finish packing Renesmee while I go get the door." She nodded as I turned to get the door.

I was at the door in a second, and opened it already knowing full well who it was.

"Morning Jacob" I greeted him.

"Hey Bella." He responded. "Where's Nessie?"

I was about to tell him she was in her room but she made her presence known.

"Here I am Jake." She came in, with her face lit up from seeing him, carrying her beach bag and sunglasses. "Ready to go?"

"Actually, Nessie we can't go to the beach today"

"How come Jake?" She asked sadly.

"Well there's something I need to talk to all of you about. Bella can you call the rest of the Cullens? This concerns them too." Jacob said in a serious tone

"Okay Jake. Edward." I called softly already knowing that he heard me.

"Already on it the others will be here in two minutes." He responded as he made his way downstairs flipping his cell phone closed.

"What's going on Jacob?" Edward questioned

"I'll tell you everything once everyone is here."

The time it took the others to get here couldn't go by fast enough but finally we heard everyone arrived outside of our open front door.

"Hey! What's going on?" Alice entered first followed by Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Esme, and Carlisle. "I just saw my whole day disappear, and tomorrow is looking quite blurry."

"Jacob has something he needs to tell us." Edward answered. I was sure he already knew full well what Jacob had to tell us but he was never the type to speak someone else's mind.

Everyone turned to Jacob who was standing by the couch looking very nervous.

"Well I already told Bella and Edward that a couple of kids went missing from the reservation yesterday but that's not the worst part, Last night while I was trying to find them I went looking to see if they wandered into the forest I picked up a scent. It wasn't animal, and it wasn't human either. At first I thought it was a vampire looking for your residence but then I noticed that the scent wasn't that bad. It almost smelled like werewolf but something was off about that to I tracked the scent over both sides of the old treaty line, and through the meadow, I lost the scent right before I hit Canada." After he finished every stood inaudible trying to understand what they just heard.

"Well Jacob what would you like for us to do?" Carlisle spoke breaking the deafening silence.

"Well if you guys could check out the scent and see if you recognize it, I would be grateful."

"That won't be a problem Jacob you can count on us after all we owe you so much."

"Thank you Carlisle, thank you all"

"Shall we go now?" Alice said.

"I don't see why not. Lead the way Jacob" Carlisle responded.

We all headed out the door couple by couple with Jake and Renesmee in front. Once we all were out front Jacob had begun to phase into his wolf form. Edward relayed to us where Jacob wanted us to go.

"Jacob says to follow him across the stream and to the meadow."

With that said we all started to run towards the meadow in search of this unfamiliar scent. When we got to the clearing I felt something was wrong. I inhaled and breathe in this scent that was neither werewolf, vampire, human, or animal. I looked over to Edward and his face was that of distress and terror, it looked like he was a human that had been hit by a ton of bricks.

What's wrong Edward? Is there danger? I thought this to him not wanting to alarm the others. Edward did not move from his frozen state.

Edward! What is it? I screamed this so loud in my head I nearly spoke out loud.

"Impossible." He said finally responding to my thoughts. Everyone turned to look at him.

"What is it?" Carlisle said.

"A werewolf has been here." Edward said stunned. "I can remember this scent from Caius' and Victoria's minds"

"Edward what are you talking about I told you it wasn't werewolf." Jacob interjected.

"No it's a real werewolf, you know it was human, then bit by another werewolf, and then became a werewolf itself. They carry a different scent than you do Jacob." Edward said still shocked by the words that were coming out of his mouth.

"It does smell kind of like you Jacob just not so strong." I jumped in.

"Well if it is a so called 'real' werewolf than we need to find Ethan and Kai immediately." Jacob said more worried now that there was something very dangerous on the loose.

"I couldn't agree more we don't need this thing to start multiplying and killing innocent people" Carlisle said.

Just then we heard something coming through the woods and fast. We all prepared to brace ourselves for what was coming I looked around at my family as we drew closer to each other preparing for what fate had in store for us. At that moment as we all took our crouches the sound went from one to two sounds of running. As the sounds came towards us I could feel a grow building in my chest, my body knew there was danger approaching. I wanted to tell Renesmee to run and keep running, away from what awaited us. But I knew she would not leave Jacob or her family. None of us expected what came next. The rustling of trees and the breaking of twigs had stopped, if only for a moment.
