As the heat dripped down my throat, the blistering fire died to smouldering ambers. Ive never got used to this uncontrolable desire for something which, in my human years, I would have fainted at the sight of. I threw down the carcass of the deer, empty eyed and limp. My baby jumped on to my back and threw her hands onto my eyes.
"Guess who!"
I shouldnt really call her my baby. She has the body of a beutiful 17 year old now and a mind to rival the depth and interllect of her fathers, yet it has been 5 years since she was born. 5 years since she was my little nudger on Isle Esme. But I just can't help but be the over protective mother and since we told her the story of her birth, she has appreciated everything that she has and everything anybody does for her.
"Can we go back now mom? Jakes gonna be here in a few minutes, I need to get Alice to dress me up"
Ever since she 'turned' 16, we have very reluctantly allowed Jacob and Nessie to start being a couple. Of course they are not allowed to consumate the relationship, seeing as everytime either of them thought about it, Edward would know every detail.
I gave a reluctant smile, and sprinted into the woods, back to the main house. Within a second a mane of broze curls was infront of me, the sunlinght shimmering on her skin. Back at the house, Alice was already stood there with two outfits in her hands. One I recognised as Nessie's favourite top and some new shorts, as the day was styfiling hot (a very rare heat wave had hit Forks), I didn't mind that they were ridiculously short. The next outfit, i was horrified to see. It was Alice's very own 'seductive' dress, (worn only when her and Jasper throw us all out so they could have have a romantic evening to themselves), a very slinky black silk number that would have made Marylin Monroe blush. I shot Alice a look of sheer evil.
"Sorry Bells, couldn't resist seeing your face at the thought of Nessie in this"
Nessie danced gracefully to Alice, grabbed the top and shorts and sprinted upstairs, calling for Alice to follow her. Nessie really was the most beautiful dancer. The Cullens basement was transformed to a dance studio for her 3rd birthday, she spent hours down there. But I didnt mind her spending all her time down there, it was something normal for her, a little girl learning to dance, it allowed her to escape.
Within minutes Jacob was here, telling Edward his plans for his and Nessie's day out. A shopping trip to Seattle and a romantic meal. Nessie fixed her hair in a little mirror ontop of Ewards piano and when she was pristine, they left for the day. Emmett, Rose and Esme returned not ten minutes later from a long hunting trip away, Carlise was working at the hospital and Jasper was upstairs reading, after he discovered a new found interest in human history.
Hours past, it was a lazy day in the Cullen household, watching movie after movie. By the evening, me and Edward were lying on the sofa together watching Romeo and Juliet -for the fourth time today.
Then all we could hear was an ear piercing scream coming from Alice's bedroom. We rushed to see what was wrong. Alice's flawless face was an image of terror and fear.
"Nessie. She's been taken."
