Dark Sunlight

The Meet

Renesmee's POV

As I was walking through the forest I could smell the wolves. I wasn't too scared anymore. I ran anyways because I was in a rush to find Billy's son. I hadn't seen any pictures of him but I knew he'd have pretty much the same scent as his father so I'd just look for his scent. I walked out from the trees and was on an empty road. I walked down toward the way to town.

I had gotten to this thrift store when I had smelled a very similar scent to Billy's. I walked in and headed toward the back to start looking. I saw this tall figure looking through the clothes rack. I was sure he wouldn't find anything here in his size. He was so tall and wide. I couldn't help but stare at him. He had a similar tan on him like the guys back at the reservation. I walked over to the clothes rack and started to look through them until I got close enough to him to see his face. I jumped back a little when I looked at his face. He was staring at me, and he was smiling. He looked like he wanted to laugh at me. I couldn't take my eyes off of his. It felt like I was glued to him. He walked over toward me and put his hand out for me to shake it. I grabbed it and almost fell into more shock when his hand felt like he was having an insane fever.

"Hi, I'm Jacob Black. May I ask your name?" my mouth literally dropped when I heard his name.

I'd found him, I'd found Billy's son. I was still holding on to his hand when I realized I still hadn't told him my name.

"Nice to meet you Jacob, my names Renesmee, but you can call me Rene." I could barely get my name out.

I quickly let his hand go and shoved it into my pocket.

"So what brings you to this lovely high end boutique?" he asked jokingly.

I thought it was funny how he tried to make me laugh with something like that. I didn't know what I was going to say. I couldn't say 'oh I was looking for you; I smelled your scent and just walked in and got lucky.' I had to think of something quick.

"Umm I was just looking for..." I reached out to the rack and grabbed a jersey with a few holes. "I was looking for new pajamas." I saw him smile and start laughing. I was hoping he knew I was joking.

"Well it was nice meeting you Rene, but I've got to get going. Hopefully we run into each other again. Maybe in the forest or something." He said while he walked away.

I saw him wink and I felt like I was going to melt. I touched myself and realized I had been blushing the entire time. I was so embarrassed. He must think I'm crazy. I wonder what he had meant by maybe running into each other in the forest. Maybe he was a hiker and liked to camp. Maybe he'd seen me walking on the trails near La Push. But if he did then why didn't I smell him or hear his heartbeat? The moment he walked out I the door I realized I should have ask him if he'd come with me to see Billy. I ran out of the store as quick as I could but he was already gone.

Jacob's POV
a few hours earlier

We'd just gotten back into town when Quil raced off to La Push so he could see Claire. We'd brought Embry's imprint with us because he didn't want to leave her all alone back at the house with Leah. Seth and Quil had chosen to run here while Embry and I drove here with his imprint. Embry decided to show his girl around the town of Forks. Seth and I decided to go look around at the shops for clothes. We needed to buy more shorts and stuff because every time we'd shift we'd have to carry our clothes with us. They so far had been getting less wear able each time we'd shift. We tried not to shift with our clothes on but there were times where we couldn't wait. We'd had split up after 2 hours looking around. He wanted to stay back at this sporting goods place and I really wanted to find us something to wear. I landed in some thrift store that looked promising. The place was pretty much empty other than the one cashier sitting here half asleep. I started rummaging through the racks. Everything looked good and was a good price but I didn't find a thing that would fit any of us. Maybe a few tops for Leah but she really didn't need anything. There were a couple of shorts in Seth's size since he was a bit smaller than the rest of us. I grabbed them and checked them out and noticed a few rips and tears toward the back. I put them back on the rack when I had heard the door open. I felt some looking at me. I didn't want to turn around to see who it was. I felt them walk closer toward the clothes rack where I was. I felt her eyes on me. I looked down at her when she wasn't looking. I couldn't help but smile she was so beautiful. I felt weak for some reason. It felt good, I felt oddly safe. Then she turned up to look at me and that's when I realized I had just imprinted on her. She was also the girl I had seen in the meadow the other week. She looked so different. She looked much taller and very much less afraid. I could hear her heart beat fast as she looked into my eyes. I decided I would introduce myself.
