Bella POV
I will never let you fall, i will stand up with you forever,
I will be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus- your gaurdian angel.
A year on in my perfect peice of heaven and i was still blissfully happy. I was in the big house's kitchen preparing Nessies lunch (the stupid nickname had rubbed off on me, as jake so often liked to snigger about) as she played out in the garden on the new jungle gym Emmett and Rose had bought for her. It looked like it belonged in a section of disney world. I watched her through the window as scampered gracfully to the tallest of the two slides and shouted
"Watch me Momma" and she pushed off as hard as she could from the bar above her head and whirled down the spiril slide. I coudlnt help but worry alittle for her safety untill she came to the bottom sliding stright off and onto the thick soft matt at the bottom with a gracful "umph"
"Did you see?!" she shouted exctiedly clambering her way off the matt looking for my reaction.
"Yes i saw" i called proudly, smling inspite of myself. If she hurtself on that thing, id kill Emmett.
Satisfied with approvel she skipped off to climb the plastic steps that led to the gyms first floor. Who knew jungle gyms could have 3 floors.
She was the most spoilt child in exsistence. I stated this to Edward who just wrapped an arm round my waist and said
"Are you going to ban it from her ,love?"
I looked at our living little miricle and how her face was lit up and was bouncing around Rose singing thankyou over and over as Em laughed and started hammering the last peice of plastic into place. I didnt even answer and i didnt need to i just smiled so much i thought my face would break, Edward took it for a 'no'.
I smiled, as i filled a glass up with water. Nessie still prefered human blood but was ajusting better to her vegterian lifestyle, hunting with jake helped incredibly. She still liked to eat some human food, chicken being her favourite so i was grilling a stip off for her lunch but never the less she loved the competion at taking down the biggest animal, just like her father. Edward.
Id never come to understand how i became so incredible lucky to have him, and the life he'd given me. I couldnt help the smile slip off my face. He was away at the moment.
Alice,Jazz,Rose,Esme and Edward were away 'cleaning up' a mountian lion problem up somwhere in canada. Myself,Carlisle. Emmett and Ness had stayed behind after hunting two days previous before the news came in. As stupid as it was i missed him terribly. He'd be back tommorow, maybe this evening and still it wasnt good enough, i missed being with him. His crooked smile, his eyes looking at me in that way that made my inside melt. Alone in those tiny hours of the night when me and Edward shared something with each other the world couldnt know about, our own little secrets. Emmetts frustration with his game brought me out of my nights with Edward, thank god i couldnt blush anymore.
"DAMN IT!" Emmett roared from the front room and i heard something i took to be his x-box remote hit the floor.
"Lose again Em" i murmured smiling slightly,he was such a sore loser. Above Carlisle chuckeld
"Shut up Bella", he growled "Edward isnt here to protect you remember"
"Oh dear, that puts me in my place doesnt it" i said innocently. I slid the chicken off the the pan and onto the plate and began chopping the tomatoes quickly."But oh, arnt the strongest in the house still, that must be irritating for you, i am sorry"
Emmett was at the kitchen door in as flash. i glanced up at him with a smug grin sliding the rest of Nessies lunch onto the plate
"Me, you, wrestling outside now."Emmett snareld menacingly
"Now you two..." carlisle said warningly from above, a heard the paper rustle as he went through his presentation he was to give to some smart suit higher up in the medical bussiness than he was, funny to think the world hadnt declared Carlisle the best doc in the universe yet.
"Oh come on Carlisle" Emmett whined at the ceiling "Esmes not here and im not gonna really hurt her, just prove her wrong.."
Carlisle sighed in his study.
While Emmett was stating his case i went over to the kitchen door to call Nessie in but she wasnt on the gym. It shouldnt of been anything to worry about, just because i couldnt see her doesnt mean anything had happend, so naturally panick ripped through me instantly and i tore out of the back door.
"..And esme never..Bella what the hell?" Emmett said in confusion
I scaned our back yard for her, the river, i couldn't see her. For a second i thought she might of fell in but my advanced sense of smell told me she'd went left into the woods, no where near the river.
I heard Emmetts heavy footsteps cross the kitchen and come to the kitchen door, quickly understanding what i was searching for.
"Nessie?" He boomed out.
I heard a chair from the second floor nosily (to me)screech across the wooden floor as Carlise stood.
And before i could bolt into the woods, Before i could come to the conclusion she'd seen Jake and they were playing a joke on me.
I heard my daughters blood curdling scream.
I didnt even think. It took me a second to realise i was in the woods, trees passing in a blur. Fear dominated my body, never did i think id live ever to hear that sound from my daughter, because i was one of the people meant to protect her from anything that could make her scream like that, id never forgive myself.
I followed her scent which was joined with a new one,a vampire.
I snarl ripped from my throat, and fury coursed through my being, venom flowed in my mouth, and my muscles tighted, ready to fight.
Another snarl joined my own and i regonised it as Emmetts,he'd picked up the scent. He was a little furhter behind me and i heard more feather light footsteps catching me up.
Soon carlisle was a little infront , he was faster, second fastest to Edward.
Oh my god, why wasnt he here.
Closely followed by me Carlisle burst through a little thicket of trees and into a small clearing.
Renessmee lay still on her back, her bronze curls shining in the sunlight that peeked over the trees. I registered this is the seconds it took me to crouch down beside her, Carlisle already at work, examining her.
"Renessmee" i whispered.
She groaned and her eyes twitched
"Renessmee" Carlisle said calmly, his medical training kicking in, his voice was still strained.
Emmett burst through the trees and didnt stop only slowing to look at carlisle who nodded and with that Emmett took off into the trees again following the culprits scent.
"Momma" she moaned.
"Im here,so's grandpa" i tried keeping all panick out of my voice, to be as comforting as i could. I smoothed back her hair.
"Momma" she said more painfully, getting louder,
"Im here Honey," i looked up at carlisle who was checking her pulse and staring at her in complete confusion
"Carlisle, whats.."
"MOMMA" she screamed and i swear my heart cracked. "MOMMA MY SHOULDER, ITS BURNING, STOP IT BURNING"
Carlisle ripped back her sweatshirt and tore the top of her cotten t-shirt.
He made a repulsed groan as we both stared in complete shock at the teeth marks moulded into her tiny shoulder.
My human memories flashed before my eyes. Fuzzy and blurred but the dance studio was one most clear.
I could never forget the pain of the fire, licking its way through my veins and down my body,burning me from the inside. I remembered Edward. I rememberd how he saved me. Why couldnt he be here now. What would this mean for our Renesmee, she was already half human half vampire, would this turn her fully? Either why i didnt care, it was hurting her, i wouldnt let her hurt like that, to feel like she wanted to die, to beg for death.
I couldnt let this happen to her. Half a second had passed.
"Carlisle, Suck it out!" i screamed at him
He didnt move,he was frozen looking at Renessmee pain and confusion crippiling his screamed again and began to thrash, it would be too late soon.
"Hold her Carlisle" i snarled
Could i do this? i'd always resisted human blood, and Nessie was half that, a human. I had to, i had to resist but nessie's blood never appealed to me, it smelt like the lovelyest perfume, but what if it changed once her blood passed my lips, would i kill her?
No.
Carlisle's head snapped up and he looked at me understanding.
"Are you sure?" his voice was uncertain but gently put his hands on his grandchild with enough force to stop her thrashing.
But before i could answer him i bent down over my daughter and whispered the truth in her ear.
"Im going to make it go away" and then i placed my lips over the ones already moulded into her small shoulder.
I felt something deep ignite in me, warm and appealing. The monster id denied awoke and sniffed at the new liquid being supplied to it. But it didnt take ahold of me. I knew where i was, i knew what i had to do, i knew my daughter was screaming and i had to stop this hurting her. The attackers venom flowed in my mouth and it burned like acid and tasted sour but nothing could overthrow the need to save her. Nessie began to scream more at first and Carlisle was trying to supply comforting words but still she screamed and i felt my heart crack even more. After a minute her screams started to fade and her breathing became even but i couldnt stop untill i was sure, or did i not want to stop?.
"Bella, i can smell her blood, its clean" carlisles strained whisper reached me and i registered the smooth flow of taste of freesais and honey in my mouth. Slowly i pulled away.
"Are you sure?" i whispered still leaning over Renessmee's body and listening to the even beating of her heart.
"Yes, very." Carlisle gained control of himself again " But we must get her back to the house shes lost enough blood"
His hands moved to slid under her body and i snarled menancly at him.
"Bella please" he said calmly.
i stared at him for at him for a moment trying to beat back the instinct to attack anything that touched her, i had to protect her. But this was Carlisle and he was just as worried as i was, i could see it in his eyes. I nodded shifting off her body and leaning back on my feet to allow him to scoop her up and both of us started the race home.
