EDDIE

I kept hold of Renesmee's hand as we ran through the forest; I kept up with her speed until we got far enough away. I noticed a small meadow type area and stopped once we entered it.

"This place looks like mom and dad's, sort of. It's kinda smaller," she muttered.

"Mhmm," I said to her, I had no idea what she meant.

"Ok so why did you drag me away?" she asked. "If dad kills Jacob, I'm going to kill you/"

I rolled my eyes.

"Don't be so dramatic." I said sitting down on the red flowers.

"I'm not being dramatic! I'm being serious." She said sitting down with me.

"That conversation just needed to end. We're going to stay here for a while until dad cools down a bit."

"That's boring though, I want to be with Jacob," she muttered pulling a flower out of the ground.

"Spend some time with your best-est little brother for once," I said smiling at her, she rolled her eyes.

"Best-est isn't a word dumb ass." She laughed and nudged me playfully. I smiled at her.

"Renesmee, I know it's really weird with our roles reversed, it's weird saying this to you but you have to grow up a bit," I said to her, reluctantly. I waited for her answer.

"What do you mean grow up? I am, I'm nearly seventeen."

"Yeah maybe physically but you're not…" I paused unsure on how to put what I was thinking into nicer words. "You and Jacob just need to get out of your little box where only you two exist and think about your family... and dad."

"I do think about him!" she said.

"I know what it's like to want to be with Jacob all the time. It's like you can never be together enough. He's the only one you want to be with, I get it. But you have to realise how hard this is on dad."

"I don't see why it's so hard though… he's had seven years to get used to the idea."

"Okay. Renesmee, imagine if someone was trying to take Jacob away from you. She thinks she loves him and convinced he is the man for her and imagine if Jacob admitted he loves that girl, imagine the feeling. Then finally Jacob picks you, after all that pain. He's finally yours. You get married and have children, but that same girl the one that tried to take Jacob away from you falls in love with your son. Your own child, the one you made with your true love, your son that is half you half Jacob, a child that is meant to be yours for at least eighteen years, but she claims him after only six. Try your hardest to imagine how that feels." I said to her, her face softened and she stared out at the trees. I placed my hand on hers. I played some memories of dads that he had showed me. Ones of Jacob and Bella. Renesmee flinched a little, I was expecting her to pull her hand away but she didn't. I showed her when Jacob, my mom and dad were in a tent. Bella was freezing cold but Edward couldn't do anything, I showed her the pain our dad felt when he had to let Jacob warm her up. Then I showed her a different memory of when our dad found out about Jacob imprinting on her. Exactly what he felt, the pain, him knowing that he was going to lose his little miracle baby to Jacob one day. Renesmee finally pulled her hand away from mine.

"I get it," she said looking down, she seemed almost sad. Maybe guilty. I reached over and put my arm around her shoulders, pulling her against my chest. She sighed and I kissed her head.

"I have something to tell you. I haven't told anyone yet," I said to her.

"What?" she said looking up at me.

"You know when Aro came to see us?"

"Yeah."

"Chloe and I were in the forest when he came out to speak with us. I touched his hand and I could read his mind," I whispered to her.

"Really?" she asked, I nodded. Chloe and for some reason Aro were the only two not related to me that I could read and I had no idea why.

"I don't know why though, I mean why can I read Chloe and Aro but not Aunt Alice or Uncle Jasper?"

She shrugged.

"Maybe you should visit the witch in Seattle, the one that gave you that book on your kind?"

"Yeah, I think I might," I replied to her. "Thank you," I whispered in her hair.

"You're welcome little brother, I love you," she said softly. I smiled and rested my head against hers.

Love you too. I placed in her head.

We didn't say anything else for another half an hour. Renesmee had her arms wrapped around her legs.

"Let's go home," I whispered to her and held out my hand for her. She took it and we walked back to our house.

As soon as it was in our view Renesmee picked up her pace, I followed her closely. She opened the door.

"Jacob?" she asked. Jacob came out of the living room and walked straight up to her pulling her into his arms. I gave them some privacy and went to check the living room for Chloe; she wasn't there so I headed upstairs. I checked Renesmee's room but found her in mine. She was sitting cross legged on my bed reading one of my books. I stood at the door grinning at her. She finally looked up at me.

"Oh!" she said and dropped the book; I closed my door and walked over to her. "When did you get back?" she asked.

"Just now," I said and walked over to her. I sat down next to her. She leant over and kissed my cheek. Before picking the book up again and continued to read. I smiled and moved so I was lying behind her, she shifted her weight so she was lying down next to me, and she held the book above her face. I smiled in complete awe of her. She was beautiful. Just lying there reading, something so simple made her look so lovely and peaceful, the way her hair spread out on the covers of my bed, the way her eyes followed the words on the pages, the way her fingers moved as she turned the page; I was memorised. She finally turned her head to look at me watching her. She smiled at me and I automatically smiled back. I leant in towards her, closing the few centimetres gap between our lips and kissed her gently. She smiled when we pulled away and started reading the book again.

CHLOE

I was fully aware Eddie was watching me as we lay on his bed. All I was doing was reading, how did he find it so interesting? I had just finished the sixth chapter of the book when I realised that maybe I should give Eddie more attention. I closed the book, put it down and turned to look at Eddie next to me. He had his eyes closed and was breathing deeply. Was he asleep? I touched his cheek.

"You awake?" I asked, he didn't answer. I reached to the bottom of the bed and pulled the blanket up over my legs and Eddie's. I rested my head by his shoulder and closed my eyes.

"Chloe," I heard someone whisper. I looked up to the door to find Edward standing there.

"Yeah?" I asked sitting up in the bed.

"I'm really sorry but can I ask you to sleep in Renesmee's room please? Jacob found out that I let you stay with Eddie the other night and he didn't like it. It's not that I don't trust you it's just…" he said. I cut him off climbing out of the bed.

"It's okay," I said with a genuine smile. "I get it, don't worry," I said and walked over to him.

"I am sorry, I just can't allow- not yet." He began. I placed my hand out towards him.

"I understand Edward. It's fine," I said with a smile, he smiled back and nodded.

"Okay, thank you."

"No prob," I sang and walked into Renesmee's room. Renesmee wasn't there but I made my way over to the bed anyway and climbed under the quilt. It felt like a second later when I felt Renesmee climb in next to me.

"Hey, you been with Jake?" I asked her sleepily.

"No Chantelle," she whispered in the dark.

"Is something wrong?" I asked her.

"No. Not really. Chantelle has a boyfriend."

"Yeah I knew that."

"Her boyfriend kissed her today."

"Oh!" I said sitting up in the bed. She sat up next to me.

"Yeah." She whispered, there was a weird tone to her voice.

"What else is there?"

"I don't know…" she began. "I don't really like him," I laughed a little.

"That's just because you're looking out for your little sister. You're not meant to like him," I said. She laughed a little.

"I guess… but I don't know. There is just something about the way she describes him. She said he forced the kiss on her, that he didn't ask her or even go slowly into it. She said she was glad he did it but I know Chantelle better than anyone, I had a feeling she was… scared." She whispered.

"Well did she say she was?"

"No."

"And he's human right? No supernatural being?"

"Yeah."

"Then there is nothing to be concerned about, if he hurts her she can break his neck. There is nothing to worry about," I reassured her. I'd talk to Eddie tomorrow and ask him if he had caught anything off Edward but I was pretty sure I was right.

"Yeah… you're right. Thanks," she said smiling at me.

"I'm tired. You going to sleep now?" I asked her. She nodded as I lay back down. "Night," I whispered and I closed my eyes.

"Night Clo," she whispered and I felt her weight on the bed as she lay down and I drifted off to sleep.
