Btw guys this is Nessie back again.

About six months after Luke first joined us, the three of us went out, just for a walk together, to the Big Field. It was summer and it was full of flowers again. It was best when it was like this, because the flowers reminded me it was nearly my birthday. I'd be eight years old, but a year in my... way of living, (half blood or hybrid, or to some weirdos, half fang) I would have gained six or seven years of knowledge. I love being me.

Anyway, so we were nearly there when we came across this tree which had fallen down. Under it was a deer, still alive, but struggling to stay that way. It was stuck under the trunk, most of its body hidden in a hollow under the fallen pine, and only its head could get out enough to breath. Even I didn't have the heart to let a defenceless animal die for no reason. No I didn't drink its blood.

I lifted the tree with Luke's help, and checked the doe (just in case you didn't know, that's a female deer) for any signs of spinal injury. Other than a broken leg and a stiff neck, it was ok. It didn't run of, it's leg was just useless, so I found a strong but thin stick and some tough, flexible plant stems and ivy strings. With these, I straightened the leg and tied it to the stick to keep it straight. The plant parts would wear away eventually, but they would last long enough for the leg to heal. I have Carlisle to thank for my medical skills.

I put together a bed of moss and leaves, with berries on a nearby bush, in the hole under the tree. I dug an entrance big enough for the deer and put her inside. I covered the area with ferns and other leaves, then re-planted some of the bushes nearby to add extra cover. All done.

We carried on to the Big Field, and when we got there, I went to lie down in my favourite spot.

"Why did you do that?" Jacob asked. He lay down next to me. Luke sat nearby, but not too close.

"Do what?" I was confused. I'd done many things and he had no idea why I had.

"Save that deer. I thought you were going to eat it." At least Jacob wasn't questioning me on other, personal, stuff.

"I would have." Luke piped up from his seat 10 metres away.

"Of course you would." Jacob sighed. At least he'd stopped calling Luke a leech or bloodsucker all the time.

"Err...I just don't like animals to suffer when no-one needs them to. If some predator was eating it, I would have left them to it, then eaten the predator. It's how energy passes up the food chain. The sooner you pass it on, the more there is for the next person. Like chocolate."

"How does that relate to chocolate in any way other than chocolate is a food?" Jacob, I have had 7 (almost 8) years on this planet. You are almost 25 and you don't know how energy passes through the food chain. Humans learn that when they're 12!

"If you leave chocolate with someone, they will eat some, won't they? If you take it quickly, there will be more for you. When an animal eats, it takes the energy out of its food. It uses some to hunt, excrete and stay alive, so it's left with less and less continually. A predator then eats that, let's say... only an hour after the herbivore ate. The herbivore had more energy then than it would after a whole day. This gets passed on to the predator, so if it eats freshly fed prey, it will receive more energy than hungry prey." Ok. I think that made sense.

"I lost you after the first sentence. But I think I know what you're on about, me being 11 years older than you." Luke was older in numbers, but really, I had the knowledge of the greatest men on Earth with their brains mashed together. Ugh, yuck.

On the way back, I went to check on my deer. I named her Cherry, and was going to look after her. She was still there, but she'd moved to be more comfortable and was asleep until we came by.

When we reached the tallest tree in the area (I'd memorized exactly what it looked like) I smelt blood. Human blood. I first tried to block it from myself, then remembered Luke. I quickly sent Jacob a flash vision of Luke pinned down, he phased and nearly got Luke before the blood crazed idiot started running off.

I chased after Luke. I was faster than him, but he'd had a head start. Jacob came up next to me and looked across. I nodded and we split to Luke's two sides. I sprinted right up to where Luke was, and a bit ahead, and tried to stop him. He pushed passed me, then sent Jake flying. Jacob hit a tree and landed on the floor. He looked at me to say he wasn't badly injured, and so I went on.

I shoved Luke into the air, jumped just above him and slammed him into the floor. He threw me off and sped of again. Jacob was back on chase, and I caught up. I could smell the blood ever closer, so I leapt as far as I could and landed just in front of Luke. Jacob came in a few metres behind me.

"Luke, stop and think. You were doing so well, why ruin it now? If you kill that human, you will be killed. Executed. I won't be able to save you. Hello in there...Earth to planet Luke." He was looking over my shoulder, gazing into the trees where only a mile away, a human was bleeding. "Jacob, what do I do?" We both knew how I could stop him, but neither of us liked it. I looked at Jacob, he nodded slowly, so I decided it was worth a try. After all, he knew how it would work better than most.

I leant forward, put my hands on his shoulders, and kissed him.

Jacob

She looked at me. We both knew exactly what would work. I'd found out first hand. I didn't like it, but I didn't like humans dying either. I was born to prevent that. If that meant telling my girlfriend to kiss my natural and personal enemy, then so be it. I just hope she doesn't do what Bella did, and love him more...

Luke

Blood. It was all I could think about. They kept trying to stop me but I'd had enough of restrictions. I needed fresh human blood. I had gone so long without it. She stood there in my way, her dog behind.

They have some psychic books or something because they both knew what the other one thought. The human was moving, leaving.

The familiar girl looked back at me then, her dog stood there, waiting. She put her hands on my shoulders and did what I thought she'd never do. Willingly. She kissed me.

just to say, Nessie's POV next chap again.
