~Chapter Sixteen~
The Hunt
“Do we just . . . go hunting?” Renesmee asked. They were still in the kitchen. Now that the idea was
in her head, she was getting eager. The thought of what she would likely be doing frightened and
excited her at the same time.
Jacob shook his head. “No. There are a few things I need to do first.” He made a mental checklist
of everything, including updating his pack about the situation. He was hesitant to do it; he wanted to
keep her to himself and away from any possible threat, no matter how small.
She cocked her head to the side. The tiny crease between his eyebrows worried her. “What’s
wrong?” she asked.
“Just thinking.”
She stepped up close to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. “About what?” She met
his eyes and pretended she wasn’t couldn’t hear his heartbeat so clearly.
He sighed and held her waist. “About the pack and how I’m going to keep you safe. I think we’ll go
up north, away from everyone.”
She shifted her weight and stepped back. “I wouldn’t hurt anyone.”
Jacob lightly touched her cheek. “I know you wouldn’t do anything intentionally, Ness. All the same, I
can’t risk your new instincts getting the better of you.”
She nodded. “I understand. What are you thinking about your pack?”
He pursed his lips. “You remember the legends from the bonfire?”
She nodded and again and swallowed. “You’re afraid they’ll kill me?”
“Try to. I just don’t know if I can trust them. They’ve said they’ll stand behind me like a pack should
no matter what happens, but Quil’s the only one who can even start to understand why I’m doing
things the way I am.” He rubbed his forehead and sighed again. “I don’t know what the fuck I’m
doing.”
Renesmee stepped close again and touched his cheek. “If it’s any consolation, Jake, I think you’re
doing great.”
He smirked and kissed her. “Thanks, Ness. I need to let them know what’s going on, then we’ll head
north. Do you want to try to run?”
She looked down at her legs. “I don’t know. How far are we going?”
“As far as we can. Probably up by Canada.”
