A/N: Hello, Readers! Thanks for reading, I really appreciate it. Thanks for all the support, I hope you enjoy this chapter ^-^. Sorry for the long update time, I had a string of bad ass virus mother smuckers that practically destroyed my computer. However, I did a worship dance to the gods of antivirus software, and here I am good as new! On with the chapter!

Jake POV

I ran through the forest, leaving the Cullen home behind. Ugh, what an asshole. He was worse than Cullen! All acting that Audrey was all his. Damn it!

I veered around trees, not particularly caring if I hit one. I wasn't sure why I cared so much, I mean, I had just known her for a couple of days, right? But it didn't feel that way. It felt like I had known her forever. It felt like-Jesus, what did it feel like? I hate mixed emotions; they're like barriers, hiding what I want to feel. I hadn't imprinted on her. Was it possible, was it possible that I imprinted on two people? Couldn't be. Not the same feeling.

I had always loved Bella, and then came Renesmee. It wasn't a Stacey's mom kind of situation, when I fell for Nessie, it was as if all of the love I ever held for Bella was gone. Now she was...my mother in law. Cullen wasn't my rival, just the father of my true one. But oh, God, what was this-Audrey. She jumped into my life with her bruised skin and her crystal blue eyes. If she was meant to be the one, I would have imprinted on her, not Nessie.

Oh God, but those eyes, that hair, her thin body. I just needed to protect her. As soon as I saw her, I knew that she needed to be protected. That Alex bastard was killing her with his touch. She was as fragile as a porcelain doll, for Christ's sake! My sister had one of those once. She broke it, and it shattered into a thousand pieces onto the floor. She had cried and screamed forever-the doll could never be put back together again. Audrey could-and I could fix her. Yes. I would fix her.

I would fix my Audrey.

My Audrey. I turned my head up to the sky and I howled as the morning sun rose over the clouds.

Audrey POV

"Hey, Audrey." Bella smiled.

"Hey, Bells." I said, turning down the volume on the tv.

"What are you watching?" Bella asked.

"True Blood." I replied shamefully. "It's become a favorite of mine."

Bella threw her head back and laughed.

"I'm sorry, do you want me to turn it off?"

"No,no. Watch as much as you want. Edward and I are going out for a day. Jake's out for a run, would you mind looking after Renesmee for a day?" Bella asked, pleading in her beautiful golden orbs.

"Of course not. It's fine with me."

"I'm glad, she really seems to like you a lot." Bella patted me on the shoulder. "The numbers are on the fridge, call any one of them in an emergency if you can't get through to Edward or I." She paused, before adding quietly. "But emergencies are infrequent, and Edward and I will answer. So you likely won't have to call anyone else."

"Kay. I hope you and Edward have a lovely time. What time does Nessie usually get up?"

"Around 9, and it's 8:30." She smiled and patted me on the shoulder. She fled out the door, and I stared at it. Turning back to the sound of Bill talking to Sookie, I decided to turn it off. I loved the show, but I probably shouldn't have it one with Renesmee up. I stretched upwards and stared at the fading bruises. I was glad that they were fading, I was feeling less guilt. Oh god, I wanted to see him again though. That dream was just so vivid last night. Alex's hair in the moonlight, his touch on my arm. For some strange reason, I flinched away, and I wasn't completely sure why. I had welcomed his touch before, and now it seemed like a terrible chill. Was it Jacob's fire? Could it be? I had only known him for a few days. However, something my mom said to me once rang in my ears. "Love is like an infectious disease, Auddie, you meet that person and it catches you, and then the symptoms come. Finally-you die. Just kidding, sweetie." I like to think that my mother desperately loves me still. I couldn't go back in our house though, after she had killed herself. It was like my whole body pushed me away with so much force away from there.

"Mommy? Daddy?" Renesmee cooed as she opened her door.

"They went out, sweetie." I said, calmly looking at the bronze haired cherub in front of me.

"Okay." She smiled weakly, rubbing her eye gently. "How long will they be gone?"

"I'm not sure, your mom didn't tell me. Would you like some breakfast?"

"Oh, they're probably just out having sex again. They have sex ALL the time." Renesmee smiled, and my jaw dropped.

"Renesmee! Who taught you that!"

"My Jake says it all the time," Nessie said calmly. "I don't know what it means, thought."

I sighed out of relief.

"Alrighty, what would you like to have for breakfast?"

"Uhhh...Hmmm...some cereal would be really yummy." She bit her lip sweetly, beefier quietly adding. "Mommy said all the V-8 juice is gone though. Did you drink it?"

"No, sweetie it went bad." I explained and she wrinkled her nose. I remembered the rancid smell of v-8, the hated smell of blood.

"Oh, all right." Nessie said, shrugging her adorable little shoulders. "You should never drink something once it goes bad." She nodded. I got up and went to the kitchen.

"Top cabinet." She added when she saw me fumbling around the kitchen. I smiled back at her with gratitude. How could a little girl be so beautiful and so smart? I wasn't sure. I grabbed a bowl, and then a box of cheerios, no Frosted Flakes or Lucky Charms here, no sir. I poured it into the bowel and added the milk. When I turned around to present the bowl to the small child, she was already behind me, wielding a spoon with Winnie the Pooh on the handle. I gave her the bowel and she hustled over to the table without spilling any of the milk. I decided then to make a bowel of cheerios for myself. After assembling my own, I joined Renesmee at the table and we enjoyed our breakfast in a nervous silence.

"So," Renesmee said, breaking the silence. "After breakfast, mommy usually plays with me. Mommy or Jake. Would you play with me?"

"Of course I would." I smiled at the little girl. "That would be awesome."

"Wonderful!" Renesmee exclaimed, and I couldn't help but notice how expansive her vocabulary is. She put her dish into the dishwasher and scurried away into her room. I finished my cereal and put it in the sink with Renesmee's bowel. I started to walk to Renesmee's room and found myself pausing in front of the room I knew to be Jake's. I couldn't resist the temptation. I opened the door and stepped inside.

The floor was covered in dirty clothes. There were old native American relics on the wall and on shelves. There were pictures of him and Renesmee framed and there were even pictures of him and Bella. I smiled at the unmade bed, the books spread everywhere. A toolbox rested on the floor beneath his bed. There was a painting of a wolf behind the bed. I bit my lip and left the room quickly. The room right next to it was Renesmee's and it was beautiful. It was painted a light yellow color and there were pink and blue butterfly's on the wall. It was a lovely room.

In front of me sat little Renesmee, with a box of barbies sitting in front of her. She looked up at me and smiled. I smiled right back.

"I haven't played with these since I was little." I confessed, staring into her round, chocolate orbs.

"Well, I love them! Auntie Alice got them for me. She says that it'll help me practice my fashion sense." She shrugged. I looked at the small, blonde dolls. They were all dressed in jeans and tee shirts. Somehow I doubted that 'Aunty Alice' was very pleased. I plopped my self on the ground and I instantly regretted the swift motion. I groaned. "What's wrong, Audrey?" Renesmee looked at me.

"Nothing, I just have some bruises and they just hurt when I fell." I said, reaching to grab one of the barbies.

"Mommy had those type of bruises once." Nessie said nonchalantly. She pointed to the hand mark. My eyes shot open.

"She did?" I questioned the adorable creature.

"Yup. Daddy gave them to her before I was born." She said. I was appalled, and unsure of what she meant. Did she mean...could she mean...that nice, beautiful man hat harmed Bella? "Mommy told me that when she first saw you. But he can't give those to her anymore."

"Why not?" I questioned and Nessie grinned.

"Because Mommy's special now."

"She wasn't special before?" I asked skeptically.

"Yeah, she was. Mommy was always special. Now she's super special. " Nessie stated plainly. I shook my head, I didn't understand.

"Can you tell me what you mean?" I asked her. She frowned.

"Mommy doesn't want me to." As she said this, I sighed. "But, as long as she doesn't know it doesn't matter. I'm her real daughter-Daddy is my Daddy."

"Yeah, of course. But, honey, you do know your adopted." I said kindly. She shook her head, as if she thought that I were incompetent. In truth, I realized that I wasn't nearly as smart as this small child in front of me.

"No, I'm not! Mommy had me, and Daddy helped!" She smiled brightly, and walked towards me. She placed her soft, pink hand up to my face and touched it. I was surprised at the array of images. Suddenly, somehow, she was showing me. These weren't my thoughts-they were hers. I was scared, but, I understood now. I knew now. Something was terribly wrong with this entire 'Cullen' family. As I watched the scene of Renesmee's birth, of Jake and Bella fighting, of Bella's pale porcelain skin, of Renesmee's first..hunt. I was scared. This was an odd cult of some kind-a messed up something-a...a... it didn't come to mind. I filed through thoughts, of books I had, and suddenly an old copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula appeared before me. Renesmee was holding it up to my face.

"This is what we are." Renesmee said seriously. "We're vampires." I was shocked. I couldn't move. This perfect child- she was seducing me with those melted chocolate eyes. She was going to drink my blood. I couldn't help but picture her sitting on top of me, licking her pudgy little fingers free of my hot, sticky blood. Somehow I had to get outta here. I stood up and tried to get away from this beast-this demon in the room! She was going to kill me! As I ran, I ran straight into the arms of something big. I looked up. It was Jake. I was relieved. He wasn't like the Cullens. He didn't like them. He couldn't possibly be one of them. He was warm. They were cold. He wasn't a vampire.

"Jake, Jake! You gotta know that the Cullen's they're all..." I trailed off and he wrapped his tight arms around me. I had to tell him! He had to know!

"They're all what Audrey?" His voice was deep and comforting. "Pale? Yeah. They're all really pale and good looking."

"That's not what I mean!" I thrashed in his strong and muscled man in front of me. "They're all vampires!" I screamed.

He grew tense and he looked directly at me.

"Did Renesmee tell you this?" He asked me. I nodded. He moved past me gently and his fingers gently grazed my arm. I shuddered.

"I'm sorry Jake, I couldn't not tell her." Renesmee said, putting her Barbie dolls away.

"Well now she's terrified!" Jake screamed. I was surprised at his cruelty to Renesmee. She was child, after all. Who am I kidding, she's probably like, 400 years old. "She's going to think we're monsters, Renesmee!"

"Too late, Pandora, Too Late. You've ruined everything now." Renesmee spat, quoting Epimithious Greek Mythology. I wasn't surprised she knew that.

I turned and dashed for the door. Before I knew it, Jake was standing in front of me.

"Don't go." He pleaded, his eyes round like a puppies. I felt compelled to crumple into his arms. However, I had to get out of here. I should get back to my grandfather, away from here.

"You're one of them," I spat. I had to be cruel.

"Please, just stay long enough to let the Cullen's explain." He said, grabbing my arms gently.

"What are you, then?" I questioned, terrified of what the answer could be.

"I'm a shape-shifter." He said confidently. I swallowed. I wasn't shocked. "I'm a werewolf."

"You don't suck blood?" I asked. He shook his head no.

"You don't kill humans?" I asked. He shook his head no.

I grabbed him, wrapping my arms around him and sobbing into his arms. Poor Bella! She probably had no chance! No chance to live! Jake comforted me, and I sobbed harder and shuddered. I looked long enough to see Renesmee crying, she was whining something. Every time she said it, Jake quivered. Just then, the door shattered. Edward and Bella burst in. I screamed. Jake's grip tightened.

"What's going on, Mutt?" Edward growled. Bella ran over to Renesmee and held her in her arms. Trying to comfort her.

"Renesmee told her." Jake hissed.

"Told her what?" Bella said, her voice soothing.

"What we are!" Renesmee whined. "And then Audrey got all scared and ran for the door and Jake yelled at me! He's mine! He's mine! He's mine! Tell Audrey to stay away from my Jake!"

"You yelled at her?" Bella asked, appalled. "She's just a baby! You're on thin ice anyway, Jacob." Edward was trying hard to maintain his self-control. I gripped onto Jake's shirt.

"Audrey," Edward said, finally, his voice strained. "We aren't monsters."

"Sucking blood sounds pretty monstrous to me." I whispered, not expecting him to hear. But they all did, and it made them sad. I instantly regretted that decision. How could I have said that? "I'm sorry. I'll let you explain."

"What did Nessie have for breakfast?" Edward asked.

"Cereal." I instantly replied.

"Right." He smiled and nodded. "Regular cereal. You see, us Cullens aren't like other vampires. We don't feed on humans. We eat..."

"Cereal." I completed and he laughed.

"No, no, Nessie likes cereal. Us, the Cullens, feed off of animals. Not humans. I have killed humans before, but I am no monster. I haven't killed anyone in a very long time." He explained. "We can't eat human food. It makes us sick." I was surprised at how much I excepted this.

"Why can she eat cereal?" I asked.

"I'm a humpire." Nessie stated between sobs.

"She's a what now?" I asked.

"A half human, half vampire." Nessie clarified. "Mommy had me when she was human. I grow super fast."

I sighed. "How old are you?" I asked Edward.

"I was born in 1901." He said quietly. My eyes widened. I turned to Jake. "And you?"

"17." He smiled. I couldn't believe this.

"So, you're normal, you age, right? Right, Jacob?"

"Right now I don't age. But I can kinda switch it off, if I want." He said, smiling. For some reason this upset me. I passed out.

BEBEBEBEBEBEBEBEBEBEBEBE

When I woke up, it was warm. There was something warm trickling on my face like some sort of weird rain. I opened my eyes and saw it was sunshine. I breathed in the scent of the room. Early morning, it had a smell to it. There was a deeply wooded smell in the room. I looked around and saw a hug dog lying on the ground beside the bed. His fur was brown. I reached down to pet the dog, and he nudged his head into my hand.

My fingers got lost in the soft fur. I leaned my whole torso over the edge of the bed and he lifted his head up and licked my face. I giggled. I looked into the big brown eyes, and I recognized them. They were Jacob's. So, I guess this is what he meant by "shape-shifter". I tensed, and I got up to go, but he whined. I stayed where I was. He jumped onto the bed. I think he could tell I was tired. I scotched away from him, I was still a tad scared. He put his huge paw (did I say huge? I mean this thing could take out a bear!) on my hand. I couldn't help it, I didn't flinch away. He laid down beside me, and put his head on my lap. I stroked his head.

So what that he was a...shape shifter? At least he wasn't going to suck my blood. Jacob was as sweet as August rain. I fell right back asleep like that.

Jake POV

I had never believed in perfection, until I saw Nessie's face. In my heart I knew that I should be with Nessie, comforting her. She had a tough day. I could still here her sobs from the cabin. I was in the main house.

Instead, here I was, listening to the gentile heart beat that belonged to Audrey. She was nervous when she first saw me. But she calmed down. My chest rose with pride when she curled into me, her weak arms wrapping around me. She trusted me. It was a first step into something more.

I read somewhere that dogs are one of the most sensitive animals. Maybe that was what she saw in me. I didn't care.

I briefly wondered if this was all a dream.

I could feel her nose breathing in my scent. I could feel her fingers gripping my fur. Was that a dream? Her hot breath down my neck, too, was that part of it?

I had admitted to myself that I wanted to protect her. That I would fix her. That she was mine.

I rolled over carefully and stared into her face. Her lips were just barely parted, her face was relaxed and peaceful. Not to mention beautiful. My heart rolled up in knots. I leaned forward and licked her face. She smiled in her sleep. Ba thump-Ba thump.

The door to the room opened and I turned my head. Standing in the doorway was that bloodsucker, Alex. He smiled slyly at me. I growled at him, and he pretended to laugh. Audrey stirred against me and pulled closer.

Alex's finger's clenched, and I felt like a champion. He shut the door, leaving me and Audrey alone. I smiled inwardly.

That bastard saw that she was all mine.

All mine.
