The airport was crowded as we walked up to the ticket counter. My dad and grandpa stepped forward to retrieve all of our tickets. Between us all, they bought out the entire first class section of the plane.

"Ready?" My dad asked, smiling crookedly as he handed my ticket to me and then handed my mom hers. He then turned to Derek and handed him a ticket, his smile growing.

"Cullen?" Derek said look down at the name on the ticket.

"Of course," My mom patted his back. "What else would your last name be? You're a Cullen now, whether you like it or not. That's Cullen venom running through your veins." She whispered too low for any human ears to hear.

"Let's get moving." My grandpa said placing his hands on Alyssa's shoulders and guiding her forward. She walked excitedly knowing she would be seeing Seth soon.

Grandpa Swan was at the airport with Sue and Seth to greet us. After I said hi to them I searched for what I needed the most. My eyes widened as I spotted the car rental counter.

"Aunt Alice!" I hissed, grabbing onto her hand.

She followed my gaze and nodded once, pulling me behind her as she hurried over to the counter.

"Alice!" My dad called after her, but she never turned around to look at him. I was grateful.

She rented a Camaro--the only one on the lot. I skipped back to my family excitedly.

"Whatever she rented, you're not driving." My dad said immediately.

"Why not?" I huffed.

"Because It's a fast car."

"I like fast."

"No."

"You're not--" I cut off when he glared at me. I'd find a way to drive it. It was way to pretty not to have me in the drivers seat.

When we got to the big house, I hurried into my room with Jacob at my heals, bringing up my bags. I hurried in my room and stood by the door waiting for him to walk inside. When he did, I shut the door and ran into his arms.

"I actually have to get going." He said and placed his hands on my hips to push me away from him.

"Just a little while? We just got here, where could you possibly have to go?"

"I just have to go."

I stopped trying to fight to get back in his arms and stared into his eyes. "Oh," I sighed realizing we were actually back in Washington. "You need to check in with the pack, sorry, I don't know where my head is." I took his hand and walked towards the door. "I'll go with you…" I trailed off when I saw the look on his face. "You don't want me to go?"

"No, I mean yeah, but you can't. Look, please don't give me that look, Ness. I'm sorry, but I just have to go. You'll understand soon enough."

I narrowed my eyes. "No, I want to understand now."

"I'm sorry." He whispered and leaned down to kiss my lips, but I turned my head and he sighed, kissing my cheek instead. I watched him leave out of the corner of my eye. Why did he want me to come with him when he was going to leave as soon as I got here? This made no sense.

"Hey, mom!" I called out, storming down the hall and up the stairs to their room. "Mom!" I yelled again when she didn't answer.

"What's wrong?" She asked meeting me just outside her and my dad's bedroom door.

"Jacob left and he said I couldn't go with him."

She raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

I shrugged. "I don't know! He told me I'd understand soon enough. You know him just as well as I do, what's wrong with him?"

"Renesmee, I have no clue. Maybe he wanted to go meet up with his pack. He hasn't seen them in a while, or he might have wanted to go spend some time with his father. I wouldn't worry about it too much, honey, go play with Derek." She kissed my forehead and hurried back into her room.

Alice passed me as I walked back down the stairs. She grabbed my arm, spinning me around to face her. "Hey! Shopping in Port Angeles! Want to come?"

"Not in the mood, maybe tomorrow." I mumbled. "Ok!" She said too excitedly and danced towards my parents closed door.

"Go away, Alice!" I heard my dad murmur.

"If you don't sent your wife out here in the next five seconds, I'm coming in after her. She promised to go shopping with me!"

"Give me an hour." My mom begged.

"Half an hour!" Aunt Alice countered.

"Fine," my mom groaned and Alice danced back over to me.

"You sure you don't want to come?"

"Positive." I said and turned to walk back towards my room. Derek was standing outside my door waiting for me.

"Come on, I want to go running around. You know, get to know these woods. There's a ton of places to run around here." I smiled at his excitement.

"Sounds life fun."

"Bye guys!" Alyssa waved as she walked past us.

"That's my jean skirt!" I called after her.

"And it looks great on me! Seth likes it, too." She called over her shoulder as she hurried down the stairs where Seth was waiting to take her out for the night. At least she was spending time with the man of her dreams. Mine dropped me here and left.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts and looked up at Derek. "Let's go!" I yelled and hurried over to the stairs leading to the third floor. I leaned forward to call up them to my parents. "Derek and I are going out running. We'll be careful and I won't take him into La Push, we'll stay on the trails close to the house. Love you!" I concluded, knowing they wouldn't answer me. I shuddered from the thought and took Derek's hand, leading him towards the large windows.

"Wait, please tell me we're jumping out of those."

"Ok, we're jumping out of those."

"Oh, I'm excited now!" He jumped around and stopped when he watched me leap from the window and land on my feet. "Graceful, aren't we?" He called down at me.

"Come on, giant. Get down here and catch me if you can!" I knew he could, but I was having fun. I threw myself forward and leaped over the river, running as fast as I could.

"You're quick, but not quick enough for me!" He yelled after me and he was suddenly behind me. His arms wound around my waist and we fell to the ground laughing.

"Come on, there is tons to see out here." I took the lead and he followed at my heals.

"Can we do this another way?" Derek asked, reaching out to grab my arm. We stopped running and I narrowed my eyes at him. "You're half human speed is making me insane. I want to run, not crawl at snail speed."

"Shut up!" I slapped his arm. "I run faster than any human in this world.

"Maybe, but I want to run faster."

"Okay!" I sang and leaped onto his back. "East," I pointed in the direction I wanted him to go in.

We ran until the sun started to set and I could hear my dad's faint calls for us. Derek hurried back to the house and I let my dad know we were coming.

"See, Jacob, she's fine." My dad huffed and walked back inside.

"Wait, he didn't want us back home?" Derek asked, he was annoyed.

"No, I came back and noticed that you were gone. I was worried."

"Why? You went off and did your own thing. So did I." I crossed my arms against my chest.

"Fine, I hope you had fun." He said sarcastically.

"I did!" I yelled back. "Why didn't you just come find me if you wanted to make sure I was ok?"

"Because your father wouldn't let me."

"Good, I'm hungry." I walked around Jacob and into the house.

"I'm here for the night… well until I have to go home. Billy is making me dinner tonight."

"Have fun." I mumbled.

"You can't be mad at me still…"

"Who says?"

"Ness," Jacob grabbed my arm and spun me around to look at him. "Please, you will see why I had to leave today, soon, but please trust me."

"Okay," I sighed and hugged him. I couldn't stay mad at him long. Not when he pleaded with me with his eyes.

"Gagging over here." Derek made gagging noises and pushed passed us to go into the house.

Jacob and I settled into my room watching a movie until he had to leave to go to his fathers house.
