Esme POV
I gasped as Nessie's images flooded my head. Her powers had improved over the few years, she could now talk directly into our heads with a single touch, but she could still show images and memories.
'Esme I'm seeing Nahuel' as I heard this, in my mind, she showed me pictures of her and Nahuel together and it was impossible to deny the strong connection between them.
'What about Jake?' I whispered, even though I was sure nobody was close enough to have overheard our conversation. Nessie frowned, and the images of Jacob that flashed through her head were not filled with the love and adoration that they used to.
Jasper POV
The minute I walked in the door and tasted the atmosphere I knew something was wrong. Big time. All I could hear were raised voices, hisses and growling coming from Rosalie and Jacob. Nothing new there, but there was more tension than usual. I could tell Rosalie was about to lose it. Next thing Alice froze and I rushed to her side, but she didn't have time to warn them what was about to happen when Rosalie shouted at the top of her voice 'NESSIE LOVES NAHUEL MORE THAN YOU, YOU STUPID MUTT!' before turning to Esme and screeching 'Yes I overheard your little conversation earlier and I don't know why you would want to protect the idiotic dog's feelings!'
Shock, anger and burning anguish pounded at me from all sides. Jacob turned to Nessie with an agonized look on his face, but I felt his rage building up inside. I grabbed Alice and flitted to a protective stance in front of Nessie and then I felt the biggest fury coming from outside the door, just as Edward burst through like a bullet, heading straight for Jacob. He grabbed his jaw and threw him against the wall. HARD. We all heard the sickening cracks as his bones snapped on one side of his body. I felt the dog's pain and intensified it to relieve my own anger because I'm sure what he was planning to do wasn't going be pretty considering Edward's reaction.
As Edward stalked towards him again, Bella was in a protective position in front of the MUTT in a 38th of a second (oh yes I counted). Edward bellowed 'Get out of the way before I rip your head off too!'
'Well if that's how you feel, you'll have to hurt me to get to him because Jake isn't the one who's done anything wrong!' she screamed back, glaring accusingly at her own daughter, who cringed. I was overwhelmed with my family's shock and Nessie's hurting at the words. It took a lot of my self control not to hit Bella, especially with the anger still radiating off several people in the room. Rosalie's anger was the most dominant and her self-control wasn't exactly the best, especially when it came to Bella. Everyone's jaws clenched as her long white hand flashed across Bella's pale cheek with enough force that, if she had still been human, would have sent her into a coma. She simply turned, lifted the mongrel up and stalked out, slamming the door behind her.
We all stood staring at the door except Edward who slammed his fist through the wall then slumped down the wall and sat in the corner with his head between his knees.
He muttered to Esme in a sarcastic voice 'Sorry about your stupid wall.'
Just then Emmet decided to make his appearance as he sauntered through the door, filled with the happiness that always seemed to surround him.
'Why the long faces?' He said while beaming all the time.
