~Chapter Eight~
Bonfire
“What is it that you’ll be doing?” Alice asked when Jacob came to pick up Renesmee for the bonfire.
“Just your old-fashioned bonfire. There’ll be a ton of food, and we’ll sit around the campfire listening
to stories.” He tightened his arm around Renesmee’s shoulders. “Instead of scary stories, though,
they’ll be the tribe’s legends.”
Alice smiled at Jasper. He nodded. “That sounds like fun. What time do you think you’ll be back?”
Jacob shrugged. “Not sure, but I don’t think it should be any later than midnight.”
“All right. See you later.”
Renesmee took the drive to the reservation to calm down and remind herself that Jacob’s opinion of
her was the only one that really mattered. She still hoped nobody really disliked her.
“Are you sure they’re all okay with me coming?” she asked as he parked the car.
Jacob nodded. “Of course I’m sure. I’m the chief anyway, remember? They couldn’t do shit even if
they didn’t like it.”
She hadn’t forgotten about it, but the reminder helped to calm her nerves a little. “Thank you.”
He squeezed her hand as he parked the car. Renesmee looked out the car at the darkening sky,
confused. Jacob smirked when she looked at him. “We’re going to Second Beach; it’s a little bit of a
hike to get there.”
She frowned. “How much of a hike?”
He smiled and got out of the car. She got out as well, and he took her hand when he reached her.
“It’s not far, don’t worry. You won’t even have time to get tired.”
Somehow she doubted that. She followed him anyway and was pleasantly surprised when the trees
ended and exposed the most beautiful beach. It had been a long time since she’d been to a beach
like this one. There were already several people there, a few sitting around the blazing fire while
others set food out on two large picnic tables or ran around near the water. Jacob watched
Renesmee’s face as they walked. She stepped closer to his side, trying to hide herself.
“Welcome to Second Beach,” he said.
She smiled up at him. “It’s so pretty. It’s cold, though.” It hadn’t been when they left the house, so
she didn’t think she’d need her jacket. She hadn’t taken the ocean’s cooling effect into
consideration.
He chuckled. “You got me, Ness. You’ll be fine.”
