There were people rushing about everywhere but I could distinguish the difference between my vampire family and my werewolf family but the almost invisible flashes of light and the more slow galloping thuds of my werewolf’s footsteps. Kate stood in the middle of Alice’s massive bathroom whilst Rose, Alice, Mum, Tanya and I all applied her makeup, pulled her hair up into an elegant bun and literally made every surface of her body look even more beautiful than usual- which is extremely hard with a vampire. Esme was busy with the decorations downstairs with a band of helpers and everyone else was just making everything perfect and collecting other guests.
“I can’t believe this is happening!” Kate squealed trying to turn her head towards me, but Alice had it locked in her arms whilst she and Rose worked on her extremely elaborate hairstyle.
“There,” Alice said in a satisfied tone as she twirled Kate round, “you look beautiful Kate, and the wedding is about to start so we need to get in place,” she finished looking up at the clock. I followed her eyes and was shocked to see that we only had five minutes until it was time for Kate to become a Mrs. My hair and make up had been done at 6am this morning and my dress had been slipped on about a half hour ago so all I needed to do now was to grab my bouquet of flowers and wait for the music to start.
It was fifteen minuets later when I sat down on my velvet chair next to Jacob. All of the bridesmaids had walked down the aisle in front of Kate and Eleazar and we had been silently greeted by the rows of people eagerly looking for the bride- I knew most of them but some faces were unfamiliar. Kate looked stunning as she walked down the aisle, her arm locked in Eleazar’s a huge smile spread across her face. As she met Garret he took her hands in his as the vows started. Slowly I let my mind slip into thought.
April 13th, it was a special day for me. It had been ever since I was fourteen, I know it wasn’t that long ago but since I am now forever frozen at sixteen. It had been a beautiful spring day and Jake had suggested that we go for a walk. It was sunny so none of my vampire family could accompany us, it was just Jake and I. It was perfect. We ran to First Beach and just sat their for a while, we had just returned to Forks, their had been a terrible fire there a year ago and only some new families had returned as all of the other houses were long gone and people just decided to relocate- with some help of Jaspers talent- and the only people who stayed were the ones who were in on the secret. Jake and I had walked for about and hour hand in hand, he had always been there for me, always taking me to my dance lessons or just being there talk to me when I was having a bad day. Jake just lived for my happiness and I lived for his. I loved him and I told him that sunny afternoon of April 13th.
“Jake, I love you.” I had said,
“And I love you Nessie,” he replied, but I had felt him go ridged beside me.
“Jake you know that’s not what I meant, I love you in more ways than friendship,” I had whispered, I remembered how my heart was pounding in my chest.
“Nessie, you’re so young it’s sick,” he had answered turning to face me,
“Don’t give me that Jake,” I muttered snuggling into his chest.
“Just give it time Renesmee, please.” He was calling me Renesmee; he only did that when something was important, and so I decided to give up. For now. As I had released my hold of him he pulled me back under his arm and I knew that he had feelings for me too, he just wanted me to have a shot at being normal. He did what he did for the right reasons, and I’m glad that he did.
“I do,” the sharp clear words of Kate’s voice broke me out of my memories. The vows were almost over, I had been so caught up in my thoughts I had missed it.
“I didn’t know you felt that way about that day,” Jake whispered, smirking. Oh crap, I forgot I had been holding his hand, he had seen it all. I could send my thoughts through any part of someone’s body now and it was proving to be a bit annoying.
“Man, I need to stop holding your hand,” I replied in a hushed tone as Kate and Garret walked back up the aisle. I took hold of his hand as the rest of the congregation stood up in applause. We all made our way to the dance floor in the garden. As a slow song started Kate and Garret waltzed onto the dance floor, I fished in Jacobs’s pocket for my camera and starting snapping feverishly along with about twenty other women. When the song ended the rest of the crowd melted onto the dance floor. I noticed mum and dad kind of rotating in a small circle obviously having a conversation whilst Alice and Jasper whirled around them laughing. Suddenly everything went wrong, I smelt it first then all the bodies around me picked out the familiar scent as well. It was the newborns. How could this happen today, it was the wedding for goodness sakes!
Everyone jumped into action within an eighteenth of a second.
“Get her inside Jacob!” dad yelled, “Emmet, Jasper, Garret, Eleazar and Carlisle come with me.” He said looking around the tent.
“NO,” I cried, taking a step back as Jacob tried to pick me up, “I’m coming with you, its safer if we all fight, we out number them totally!” I continued, taking yet another step back only to be caught by Jasper who grabbed my elbows and smiled down at me apologetically.
“Then you wont mind sitting out,” Dad said, raising his eyebrows. Why did they always have to treat me like I was a baby- okay I was only half vampire but I had proved that I was very nearly as strong and fast as them.
“Look I am coming, they are out there now and we are wasting time fighting; JUST LET ME FIGHT!” I wailed, breaking out of Jasper’s cage and storming over to where dad and Jake were standing.
“Nessie, its okay!” dad said as Jake pulled me into his chest,
“I know you’re over protective but mum has always told me you were the most laid back person you have ever met.” I moaned,
“Nessie, I couldn’t bear to loose you, and anyway I was young and immature the. I know how your dad felt.” Jake whispered hugging me closer.
“I think that we should all go, it is safer for Nessie if she is with all of us to protect her; and she’s right, we outnumber them.” Mum said reaching up to put a hand on dads shoulder.
“Thank you,” I knew that these words were true, I really meant it. I couldn’t bear not knowing what was happening- who was getting hurt- whilst I sat back at home, going insane.
“We need to go now, before the Volturi get there.” Carlisle said not meeting my gaze, knowing my fear of the Volturi.
We were all running through the forest when it came to mind that Alice should have seen this happening. I turned to Carlisle who was running at the front with Dad, mum, Jake and I, to ask him.
“Carlisle, I am worried about Alice; she should have seen this. Is it possible for her to loose her powers?” I asked,
“Don’t worry Nessie, I don’t think she is loosing her powers but then again anything is possible our existence proves that. I think that these newborns are more powerful than we think, they have been told about her powers and are using it against her- it happened before with Victoria- they know that she will only be looking for certain things and with the wedding today she wasn’t looking for anything. But like I said, don’t worry Nessie.” He said with a smile. Carlisle was one of my favorite people, my family was very strange; although Carlisle was actually my grandpa and Emmet my uncle and so on it was like I had loads of dads, it was the same with the women. Liked it like that, it was special.
As we continued running south east of the house we caught their scent, it was strong and fresh. They were less than a mile of; as we changed direction to follow the scent I noticed my dad nod at someone’s silent question. All of a sudden I was running not at the front of the formation but in the middle of a more circular one. I didn’t protest but inch by inch moved myself closer to Jacob who was still at the front. I knew that as soon as we got near the danger I would be engulfed back into the circle, but I wanted to be with Jacob for as long as possible; my Jacob.

Tyler followed Matt into the men’s restroom. He first checked if no one else was there and then grabbed Matt’s arm.
“What the hell is your problem?” Matt asked surprised.
“I can ask you the same question” Tyler hissed.
“I don’t get it” Matt said confused.
“You need to knock it off” Tyler said. “Caroline doesn’t want you anymore, so you can stop with the annoying taxes”
“What taxes? Tyler, I have no idea what you’re talking about” Matt said.
Tyler pulled out his phone and showed Matt the tax he just got.
“Dude, that’s not even my number” Matt said.
“I know it’s hard to see me and Caroline together, but acting like a jealous ex-boyfriend isn’t going to put you back in her good books. So I think it’s best for both of us if you would just knock it off” Tyler threatened. He let go of Matt and left the restroom, leaving Matt dumbfounded.

The jury had made a decision and woman walked to the judge and gave him a piece of paper.
“To the question if Castiel abused Alexia Moore the jury finds him not guilty” the judge said.
“Yes!” Dean triumphed. He jumped up and walked quickly towards Cas.
Zoey took Alexia by the hand and walked down the aisle.
“Zoey, wait!” Daphne shouted desperate.
Zoey turned around.”Do you have any idea what you put me through? What you put Alex through? After everything I’ve done for you. Gerard killed himself, because of you! How many lives do you have to destroy, before you realize you’re the one who needs to be put away in a cell?”
Daphne grabbed Zoey’s arm. “Please, listen to me. I never meant to hurt you or Alex. I thought I was helping. Tell me how I can make it up”
Zoey jerked her arm. “Stay away from me and Alex. And if you even care a little about Cas, you stay away from him, too”
She turned around and walked away.

She turned around and walked away.
“It was me” Meg said. Sam had freed her from her prison and now she was going to free Cas of his. She had to promise Sam she wouldn’t try to get out until they were far gone. Because as soon as soon Cas was out they were going to hit the road an drive as far away as possible.
“I killed Jack and I killed Paul Morgan. Cas has nothing to do with it. I was trying to protect him. Jack was asking too many questions and Paul knew too much already. There were people trying to hurt Cas and I tried to give him a low profile. But it didn’t really work out. I don’t want a lawyer. I don’t want a trial. Just give me the maximum penalty and I’ll accept it”
Isabel stared at her, a little puzzled, but also thrilled. She got Jack and Paul’s killer. Now no one would question her competence as an inspector again. She cuffed Meg’s hands and brought her to a cell.

Dean was outside, leaning against the cabin, when Jo came standing next to him.
“You look happy” she said sarcastic.
“It sounds weird, but right now I wish Dick Roman was still alive” Dean said. “I have too much time to think”
“You want me to call mom? I think she knows a few ways to fix that” Jo commented.
“Where is she?” Dean asked.
“To the city, doing groceries” Jo answered. She looked up. “Did you hear from Cas? I mean, that’s why you’re so neurotic, right?”
Dean shook his head. “I don’t want to talk about it. He’s had his chance, he blew it. I’m done with him”
“Have you tried talking to him?” Jo asked.
Dean leaned forward and kissed her. “No talking about Cas” he said.
“Okay” Jo agreed. She threw her arms around Dean’s neck and kissed him back. Dean lifted her in his arms and carried her inside the cabin.
