A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

Quil acknowledged the request, then his presence was gone. Jacob shook himself and looked up at
his imprint. She looked worried.
“Is everything okay?” she asked. His growl scared her.
Jacob nodded and nudged her again before crouching down so she could get on his back. She
climbed up carefully, paying extra attention to her feet and her grip on his fur so she didn’t hurt him.
Once she was situated, he headed north. She leaned forward and tightened her grip as he started to
run. The forest passed by so quickly she was surprised that the trees didn’t blur. She could see the
crevices in the bark and every detail in every leaf as if she were standing still.
The sounds of the forest were just as surprising. In addition to Jacob’s heartbeat—thicker and
stronger than when he was a man—she could hear the wind and different animals. The scent of the
earth, rich and damp, was like home. Soon she picked up on another scent. It was blood, but it was
different from Jacob’s. It didn’t smell as sweet, but it still made her mouth water. Something deep
inside her wanted to go after it. She tightened her grip on Jacob’s fur and buried her face in the back
of his neck.
He slowed to a stop when they got close to a small herd. Her crouched down and waited a moment
for Renesmee to relax and climb down. Once she did, he glanced at her and nudged her arm before
taking slow, silent steps toward a clearing. She held his fur as if she were holding his hand, fighting
with herself to keep from running ahead and possibly scaring something away. The closer they got to
the sound and smell of blood, the hotter her throat burned.
Jacob stopped and stooped down again. She looked at him for a moment before she swallowed and
took a few more steps forward. Through the trees, she could see four deer grazing. Her heart
fluttered. She took a moment to stall and remind herself that she was stronger now. All of her
instincts told her she could do this. She took a slow, deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment
to try to get in the right mindset. She let her senses take over and tell her what to do. She opened
her eyes and without conscious thought, picked out the deer she wanted. Once she’d made her
decision, logic was forgotten. She lunged forward with a speed that surprised Jacob. He watched
with equal parts pride, worry, and curiosity as she tackled the second largest animal. It didn’t stand
a chance. She snapped its neck and buried her teeth into its jugular. He stayed still while she
finished, afraid to startle her.
Renesmee pulled back when she’d drained the animal. She opened her eyes and stared at it for a
moment as she began to realize what she’d just done. She looked over at Jacob with tears stinging
in her eyes.
“I did it.” She wasn’t sure if she was more disgusted or satisfied.
The look in her eyes hurt his heart. He looked around quickly and shifted back to human, then he
pulled on his shorts and walked over to her. She threw herself at him and wrapped her arms around
his neck.
He held her tightly. “Do you feel better?” he asked gently.
She nodded reluctantly. She did feel better physically, but she hated herself. They were quiet for a
few minutes before he leaned down and kissed her head.
