Trails of Renesmee - Talullah (novels to improve english .TXT) 📗

how I missed cuddling up to him when he was a wolf, there was something soothing and calming when we would lie out under the stars and he wrapped his furry body around me.

He rubbed his nose on me cheek, I guess he was agreeing to what I had just showed him. But before I could show him something else a scent caught me off track, I was so hungry that all I could think about was my prey. Jake’s ears shot up too, he had caught on to what I had smelt. A bear – two of them, not far from where we stood. I could taste their delicious scent on the tip of my tongue that made my mouth water uncontrollably. Jake let out a grunt that caught me off guard slightly, he worried too much. Like a big grizzly bear could hurt me! I rolled my eyes at him and ran towards my meal. In around three seconds flat I had ran through the woods, got down in to a pouncing position and was on top of the larger of the two bears. It didn’t stand a chance. I made it quick; I had never been one for playing with my food. I still didn’t completely enjoy the fact I was killing a living creature to eat, but it wasn’t a human and it just tasted so good! My teeth found its neck and pierced the skin in an instant. My throat was filled with a luxurious and thick fluid running straight down my throat. The bear’s struggling began to ease off as Jake took down the smaller grizzly. I didn’t stop till I had drained it completely. I dropped the lifeless body to the ground and wiped my mouth with a complete satisfaction. Jake finished his breakfast around exactly the same time. The sun was beginning to rise.
“I guess we should get back for school Jakey.” I said with an edge of disappointment in my voice. The one bad thing about being immortal, well sort of immortal, was the repetition of high school. I had now been to six different schools, all of which had the same narrow minded, self indulged teenagers and the same old boring classes. Yet, to fit into an area it was a necessary part of not drawing too much attention to ourselves being different. Of course people still found it slightly odd that Jacob and I lived together at just eighteen (well as far as they knew we were eighteen.) But, they only found it odd because we were so stupidly in love and “obviously wouldn’t last” – Yeah yeah!

I leapt onto Jake’s back, his paws dug deep into the earth and then we were off, racing back to our home. It took no more than twenty minutes to arrive back. I dismounted the huge wolf and as my feet touch the ground Jake’s human hand found mine and we walked into our little house together.

“I’m gonna go for a shower.”

“I’ll come with you.” Jake whispered so temptingly into my ear.

“No you won’t, you will put some clothes on and clear up all this.” I gestured to the mess that Jacob had caused. He let out a small groan and I smiled with the satisfaction that maybe this would be the last time he would decide to transform in the house again. I showered and dressed quickly not bothering too much with my appearance. A baggy pair of pants and a plain white vest top would do the job just fine. I walked down into the kitchen to find Jacob ready to go.

“All done.” He smiled. I couldn’t stop myself from smiling back; Jake just had this aura about him that made everything better, happier. He took his hand from behind his back and started to swing a set of keys around his fingers. “You ready?”

“Oh the Aston Martin vanquish, really? How subtle of you.” Jacob had always loved this car. It had been a present off Edward many years back when he had seen just how much Jacob adored it. There was no way I would usually let him drive this car to school, standing out was never something I enjoyed and this would definitely stand out. As if we needed to draw even more attention to us without the extravagant car.

Jacob and I live in Montana, (which is only a couple of hours run from my parents) in the city, Wolf Point – Jake got a kick out of that. Where we attend the college Fort Peck. It’s only a half hour drive from our little cottage, yet today we arrived there in no more than fourteen minutes, Jakes driving was not for the light hearted. And yes just like I had expected, people stared more than usual. Jacob was grinning from ear to ear, relishing in the joy of being the centre of attention. I on the other hand felt the blood rush to my cheeks and wished I could place a paper bag over my head. Really was there any need for this? Reading my face and understanding my embarrassment Jake leant over and kissed my cheek, got out the car and walked round to open my door for me. I inhaled deeply, closed my eyes, and exhaled. They are all just looking at Jacob I told myself, how could anyone not? He was perfect in every single way. I slid out of the magnificent automobile and found Jake’s hand.

“Wow, very nice. Vintage!” I heard as the beaming sun blinded my eyes.

“Hey Celeste, Yeah she sure is a beauty.” Jake had answered as he tapped the bonnet of the car. Celeste was my closest friend at college. I liked her because she had such a good soul. There are no ulterior motives behind her eyes. She is kind, honest and completely selfless. Jake would often say how a like we were personality wise; however I always thought she was much prettier than me, and this is where Jacob and I disagreed. Celeste had long dark hair that reminded me of mother’s but with piercing blue eyes and a lovely olive skin tone. Why the guys in the school weren’t all over her completely puzzled me, but then again her studies were at the utmost importance to her and I guess that put them off.

“Hiya Ness, I missed you!” She smiled and hugged me tightly. “Where were you yesterday?”

“Oh, yeah, sorry about that. My parents came to visit.”

“Oh my god, I still can’t believe your parents brought you your own place. It’s so cool. My parents would completely freak out if I tried to move out with a guy.”

If she only knew we were married. “Hmm, well it took some convincing.” That wasn’t really much of a lie. At the time it did take a while for Edward to agree to let us live so far away and on our own. It was only when we promised that we would visit each other every couple of months that he finally caved in. The bell rang and reminded me that Jacob and I would have to separate until lunch. My heart sank realising this fact and my hand gripped on to his tighter.

“Come on Ness, we don’t wanna be late.”

Jake turned me round so I was facing him and moved my hair from out of my eyes. “I’ll see you in a couple of hours okay?” I nodded as he bent down to kiss the tip of my nose.

...

“You’re so lucky you know.”

“Hmmm, what?” I had been day dreaming in the middle of biology when Celeste had brought me back down to reality.

“To have Jacob.”

I looked at her confused. Had she really only just noticed how lucky I was?

“I don’t just mean because of how good looking he is. But, I mean that you can tell he absolutely adores you. The way he looks at you, it’s like there’s no one else but you in the world. It’s weird. No, not weird just, like a fairytale you know. Like something you only read about in books. If I ever find a guy who loves me just a quarter as much as Jake loves you then I’ll be happy.” Celeste then looked down at her books and furrowed her eyebrows. I guess she was unsure of how I would react to what she had just said.

“You will find your Jacob one day Celeste, and don’t settle for a quarter, you’re worth more than that.” She looked up and smiled at me, relief clear to see on her face.

“You really think I could get half?”

I couldn’t help but let out a giggle, and neither could she.

“Celeste. Renesmee. Are we interrupting something?” Mr Crawley snapped. Yet again the blood rushed to my cheeks and I buried my head back into my biology book.
The morning dragged on as I was taught the same repetitive lessons that I already knew so well. I was lucky to have Celeste as a partner; she was clearly much smarter than an average eighteen year old so I didn’t feel like I had to look less intelligent around her. I was happy to let her have all the credit when we achieved yet another A on our homework projects. Finally it was lunch time and annoyingly I still had to walk at a human paced speed to the cafeteria. Obviously after that huge grizzly bear I had devoured earlier I wasn’t hungry, I wanted to see Jacob.

“I think I might have the macaroni cheese today. What you having Nessie?” Celeste asked.

“Oh, erm, well I had a huge breakfast so I’m not really that hungry.”

Celeste stopped walking. I turned to her to see what the holdup was.

“Nessie, you are eating properly aren’t you? I hardly ever see you eat” Real concern embraced Celeste’s face, I felt terrible lying to her all the time, but I am pretty sure she would think I was lying if I told her the truth.

“No!” I said in shock. “No it’s just I, well I don’t really like people watching me eat so...” I trailed off. My sensitive hearing had picked up on the most beautiful laugh I had ever heard. It made my ears sing to hear something so wonderful. My worry about Celeste being so observant had completely vanished. I turned my Head slightly and saw Jacob sitting at a table in the far corner. His plate piled high with food; guess the bear wasn’t as filling for him as it was me. He was sat with his two friends Darren and Kyle, both of which I liked very much, they made Jake happy.

“Why don’t you go over?” Celeste suggested “I’ll catch you up in a sec.” I smiled at her; she truly was a great friend. I glided over towards Jacob as quietly as I possibly could, as my hand reached out to grab his shoulder he turned around, picked me up and kissed my lips sweetly, but appropriately for the surroundings we were in.

“Hello beautiful. I missed you.” He cooed. Is it really possible for your heart to stop? (Well when you’re not a vampire, or dead.) Because when Jake spoke so tenderly like this, and held me this way my whole body would freeze even if just for a fraction of a second. He would literally dazzle me into a coma.

“Get a room will ya you two. You’re putting me off my burger.” Darren interjected.

“Got one!” Jake smiled. I joined them at their table and it wasn’t long before Celeste had come to sit by my side.
