Yeah, I got it, Jake, Seth answered. He took off toward the reservation and disappeared from<br />

thought a few moments later. When he returned, he showed Jacob an image of the black shorts<br />

he’d taken.<br />

I really don’t care, Seth; anything works. Thanks. You want to burn this fucker for me, too?<br />

Seth dropped the shorts next to his alpha. Sure. Embry, you got those two?<br />

Yeah, I’ll be fine. They’re close enough I can watch both.<br />

Jacob nodded at Seth. Thank you.<br />

Yeah, man. Good luck with her.<br />

Jacob shifted and pulled on the shorts. He took a moment to start the fire so Seth didn’t have to,<br />

then he patted Seth’s side and walked away.<br />

Renesmee was still against the tree where he’d left her. He took a deep breath and went to face the<br />

fire.<br />

She looked up and was almost surprised to see Jacob coming toward her as a man once again. She<br />

tried to stand up, but her legs gave out on her and she plopped back down.<br />

“Are you okay?” he asked a few yards away.<br />

She shook her head. “No.” Her voice was barely a whisper. Her hands shook as she tried to dry her<br />

face. “No, I’m not.”<br />

He stepped a little closer and knelt down. “Baby, I need to get you home. Can you stand?”<br />

She tried again, but her legs wouldn’t work. “No.”<br />

“Can I carry you?”<br />

She weighed her options. She could allow Jacob to carry her, or she could wait in the forest for her<br />

strength to return. The latter sounded best until she realized that there were probably more of the<br />

blurred Bloodsuckers around. As scared as she was of Jacob’s ability, she was even more terrified of<br />

getting eaten. “Yes.”<br />

She closed her eyes tightly when he leaned forward to pick her up. He stood up and cradled her<br />

against his chest. He took her home and set her down on the couch. He sat down next to her, but<br />

she tried to push away from him. He scooted to the other end.<br />

“I’m really sorry, Ness,” he said softly.<br />

She cleared her throat and nodded, but she wasn’t sure what to say. Everything she thought she<br />

knew was turning out to be something different. Confusing pieces of a puzzle that seemed out of<br />

place suddenly made sense, and yet it seemed like everything she believed had been turned upside<br />

down and dumped on its head.<br />
