Hey guys!! So, you liking my previews?? I figured you would! ;)
Enjoy the chapter!
"Renesmee," Jacob whispered against my lips. I couldn't help but smile. "Ness, we forgot to call your mother."
"Mom!" I gasped and pulled away from Jacob. How could I forget about them? They were fighting for my life while I was here making out with my mother's best friend.
"They're fine. Come on we'll go call them." Jacob stepped out of the Jacuzzi and held his hand out to help me out. The night air was cold, or I wasn't used to not having the warm water and Jacob's body around me. I shivered as I stepped out.
"Cold?" Jacob chuckled and pulled me against his chest.
"Not anymore." I breathed and pressed my lips against his shoulder.
His breath went uneven. He pulled a towel around me and guided me inside. He kept his arm around me as he dialed my mom's cell phone number.
"Hey, Bells. Yes, she's perfectly fine. Better than fine actually." Jacob winked at me.
I tucked my towel under my arms and held out my hand.
"Hold on Bells, she wants to talk to you too." He handed me the phone and kissed me before giving me some privacy to talk.
"Renesmee?" My mom asked into the phone. I put it to my ear.
"Hey, mom. We got here ok. Tell Dad he needs to lay off the glitz and glamour. This place is over the top."
"Honey, I have been trying to tell him that for years. He doesn't listen to me." She chuckled. "Was that Jacob?" She asked quickly.
"What? He's in the other room."
"No, he handed you the phone and I heard…" She trailed off. Stupid vampire hearing.
"I don't know what your talking about. It must be the reception." Why didn't I just tell her? She already knew it was going to happen. They need to focus right now. Not worrying about their daughter in another state with her werewolf boyfriend. I smiled at that thought.
"I'll let it go, for now." Her warning rang out in her voice. I knew that voice well. She was on to me. I'd definitely be dealing with it when I get home. "Get some sleep. You had a long day of traveling. Dad and I will come for you as soon as we can. Hang tight and please listen to everything Jacob, Quil and Leah tell you."
"Yes, Mom."
"Thank you."
"I love you." I whispered.
"I love you too, sweetheart."
"I'm sorry." I felt the lump in my throat and I knew she could hear it in my voice.
"We will be fine. Nothing for you to worry about."
"K," My voice shook.
"I'll see you later." She promised.
"Bye, Mom." I hung up the phone quickly and chucked it across the room.
Jacob caught it and crossed the room in two strides. He had me in his arms just as my legs gave out and I let the sobs rip through my chest. He walked me to the couch and pulled me down on his lap.
I dug my face in his neck, soaking his skin with my tears. "I don't care how many times you people tell me. This is all my fault! Jake, I sent my family to face the Volturi. It should be me out there to face them, alone."
"Don't say that." Jacob hissed. "I would never allow that to happen, and neither would your family."
"You should." I sighed.
"Stop." He said and took my face in his hands. I leaned forward until our lips touched.
"Wow, you sure work fast." Derek said as he hit me with his towel.
"Shut up, Derek." I growled against Jacob's lips.
"I'm hungry, what do we have for room service?" Quil plopped down on the couch next to us. "I don't feel like cooking anything."
"What do you want?" Jacob asked as he rubbed my back. His body was so warm that I forgot I was still in my bathing suite until I felt his hand touching my skin on my back.
I smirked at him and he raised an eyebrow. I watched his eyes focus on the flashes of us hunting I was giving him.
"I want blood." I chuckled.
"Ew," Leah shuttered and walked into our room. "Quil order me a burger." She called over her shoulder.
"Ness, I don't think…"
"Come on! I haven't hunted in a while." I pleaded. "Please, Jakey. Take me hunting." I jutted out my bottom lip.
"Go get dressed." Jacob sighed in defeat.
"Yes!" I hissed and ran towards my room.
"You're taking her to do… what exactly?" I heard Derek ask.
"Renesmee can live off of either human food or animal blood. She likes blood more than actual food. It's been that way since Bella was pregnant for her." Jacob answered him.
"Oh," Derek sounded nervous. "She only drinks animal blood, right?"
"Don't piss her off and she wont drink your blood." Quil teased.
I heard a loud thud and Quil swear.
"Don't freak him out like that." Jacob snapped. "Derek, Nessie wont drink humans blood. She's been taught since she was very young to hunt animal blood."
"I'm ok with that." Derek said calmly.
I rolled my eyes. I reached into my bag to find the money my dad said he stashed in there. I found in wadded up under all my clothes. I grabbed some of it and turned towards the door. On my way out of my room I hopped around as I tried to walk and put my sneakers on at the same time. When I safely got my shoes tied I looked up at Jacob, still on the couch, and smiled. "I believe we have a date."
"That's a hell of a first date." Leah mumbled.
Jacob ignored her as he walked over to me. "Where do you want to go, my love."
I threw the money at Quil and he caught it and smiled widely when he realized what was in his hands. "Anywhere," I said and pulled him out the door. He didn't have to get changed since he was going to be a werewolf in a matter of minutes. We walked towards the window at the end of the hall and Jacob opened it.
"You do realize this hotel has doors, don't you?"
"Get on." He pulled my arms around his neck and I jumped on his back. He jumped out the window and we slid down quickly, invisible to everyone.
We ran for a while until we were safely in the woods and away from people. " Stay here, don't move." Jacob pleaded.
"Where are you going?" I asked nervously.
Jacob chuckled and leaned down to kiss me. "Just going to phase. You'll be in my sight the whole time."
"Phase right here."
Jacob took my face in his hands and kissed the tip of my nose. "I'd like your father to not kill me when this is all over. He might not be able to read your thoughts, but he can read mine. I'll be right back."
I reached out for him, but I clutched the air. I could hear his breathing nearby, but couldn't see him. "Jake?" I whispered. I heard his whimper behind me and I spun around.
He grinned my favorite wolf grin and bowed so I could climb on. He took off running and I listened to the noises around me. We ran for a while before I heard what I was looking for. Stop, mountain lion. I closed my eyes and slid off his back.
Jacob shook his massive head at me. I immediately knew what he was trying to tell me. His eyes spoke the words. He knew I haven't hunted in a while and he wasn't comfortable with me hunting a mountain lion.
Are you turning into my dad now?
Jacob growled and nudged my arm.
I turned to stalk in the direction I heard the strong heartbeat of the large animal. Jacob bit the hood of my sweatshirt to stop me. I pulled it over my head to ran as fast as I could towards the mountain lion. I glanced behind me as Jacob sat with my sweatshirt in his mouth. He flung it over his shoulder and kept close behind me.
The mountain lion was up in a tree, so I jumped up to grab onto a low branch. I swung my legs to try and reach the other branch, but it was out of my reach. Jacob walked through my legs and I immediately knew what he was doing.
Thanks. I thought and stood up on his back. I was able to reach a higher branch. The mountain lion didn't see me, but he saw Jacob. He licked his lips and growled deeply. Jacob's head snapped up and he growled back. I pressed myself against the trunk of the tree so the mountain lion wouldn't see me. He stalked to the edge of the branch, his tail swept across my face. My throat burned as I picked up his scent.
Jacob backed away growling as the cat coiled his muscled to spring. I did the same. With a high pitch growl the cat leaped from the branch and I followed. I was quicker, and landed on his back before he landed on Jacob. I sunk my teeth into his neck and the cat's growl choked off and his body went limp.
When I was done I kicked the mountain lion aside and wiped my mouth clean. "That was for going after my boyfriend." I looked up at Jacob and his eyes reflected the smile on his face. I heard his heart falter and pick up again. It was easy to tap into my vampire half when I was hunting. "You want the rest? I'm going around the corner." I heard a small herd of deer.
Jacob's ear cocked to the side as he listened for what I was hearing. He nodded once and bent to finish off my kill.
When I was done I patted my stomach and yawned. Jacob bent down again and I climbed on his back and put my sweatshirt back on. Once we got closer to the city again Jacob stopped and I slid off his back. He walked out of my sight and phased back.
It was taking everything I had in me to keep my eyes open. I didn't hear Jacob walk up behind me. He swept my off my feet and I gasped.
"Close your eyes, we'll be back on a few minutes."
I turned my face into his chest and breathed in his scent. "Thank you, Jake." I whispered.
"Anytime."
