Hey there,
So...I haven't written in quite some time. I'm not sure if I have anymore readers anymore. HaHa. But if you guys stuck around, I'm sorry about deleting my Robsten stories. I've explained it to some of you, and some of you got the little note just before I deleted them, but basically I just couldn't do it anymore. I felt wrong writing about real people. I also had that story Midnight Glow up. Reason I deleted that was because...well, I didn't really like it and I had no idea where it was going. I wrote it a while back and, boy, was my grammar a fail. Anyway, enough blabber from me. Here's to a new, fresh story that I can hopefully finnish without failing you guys, again. :P
Rated M for some swearing and possible future chapters ;)
Nessie
"You ready?" Jacob asked.
"Mhmm." I hummed.
"Ok, here I come!" He growled playfully.
I held my breath, perched in the tree branch above the flowery meadow where my best friend, Jacob Black, was standing.
"You can't hide in the trees! It's cheating!" He complained.
"Quit your whining. I can so. You just have to guess which tree it is." I challenged him.
He sighed in mock frustration and squinted above him. I slid behind the trunk, sticking to it as he neared the set of trees around me.
"I know I'm getting closer." He laughed.
I didn't say anything.
Suddenly his footsteps stopped crunching on the leaves and the grass and everything went quiet. Just as I was about to look back around into the meadow, a large bang came from the tree trunk I was holding and the vibrations shook right up to the top. Despite being half vampire, I inherit slight clumsiness from my mothers human qualities. I gasped and slipped onto a thin branch, hugging it tightly.
"Jake!" I groaned.
He laughed and shook the tree once more. I squealed as the tree branch jiggled around and I stayed on it. It was like being on a ride at an amusement park.
I decided on my revenge. Slowly, I slid to the end of the branch, peering down at the top of his head.
3, 2, 1. I counted in my head before jumping from the tree and quickly, at vampire speed, landing down behind him and cupping my hands over his eyes.
He yelped in shock and I giggled as I jumped on his back whilst he stumbled backwards.
By looking at as, you would think all we'd want to do is sit on computers and listen to iPods because of our teenage looking bodies. But, no, Jake and I had the energy of 5 year olds. Typical teenage crap bored me. I wanted adventure and excitement and, as far as I could tell, so did Jake.
I was 15 years old, although my body looked 18. My brain was much older though, which was maybe why practical stuff didn't intrest me.
Jacob hadn't appeared to age either, although he was not exactly immortal like a vampire. I knew he had the ability to age like a human if he wanted to, Sam had, but so far Jake was still...Jake. He still had his young face, which was quite defined and masculine, but still had innocent qualities about it. His body was the most muscular and tall body I'd ever seen, but I knew that was because of him being a wolf. By looking at Jake, you'd guess he was anywhere between 18 to 25, but he'd been around a little longer than that.
"Run like the wind bullseye!" I squealed, keeping my hands in front of his eyes.
"I don't have any eyes!" He screamed, running around in circles as we laughed.
"Use your nose!" I said.
He got down on all fours and pretended to sniff like a dog as I stayed latched on his back. As we returned to the meadow he got a nose full of flowers and they must have itched because he raised his shoulders, scrunching up his nose.
"Ahhh...Ahhh..." A sneeze was coming.
"Oh no!" I screamed.
"ACHOO!" He sneezed and I rolled over his head landing on my back beneath his face purposefully.
"Silly horse! You made me fall off! I demand and new one!" I played.
He laughed. "Daddy! I want a pony!" He mocked in a British accent.
I giggled and then sighed, sitting up and turning around to face him.
"Jake?" I asked.
"Mmm?" He responded, sniffing from his sneeze.
"What's school like?" I asked curiously.
He looked up like he was thinking about it properly before looking at me again. "It's shit."
"Come on! It can't be that bad!"
"Mmm, I guess when you go to school from when you are about 5, it gets old and boring."
I bit my lip. "I'm thinking about going. Just for a few years, obviously. Like my family sometimes do."
"You'd have to move a lot. People would notice if you stayed."
I shrugged.
"We do now anyway. Hey, I think we should buy a house. We could be roommates! And we could visit Mom and Dad from time to time wherever they are if we don't move at the same time as them. And Grandpa, of course, in Forks. And Billy and Rachel in La Push. Like we do now. But we'd have to make sure no townspeople saw us, otherwise they'd be like 'Hey, why aren't you ageing?', and about that, do other Quileutes get suspicious of me when we visit, do they think I'm a vampire? Well, I half am but-"
He placed a finger to my lips, laughing. "Shhh, talk slower, Ness. It's not like you're ever gonna run out of time."
I blushed faintly in my already rosy cheeks, holding a hand to my forehead. "Sorry, I gotta learn to stop doing that. I think I get it from Alice."
He nodded, laughing more.
"Shut up." I whacked him playfully on the chest.
We both lay down on the grass and looked up at the sky, not speaking, just watching, and listening with all of our senses. At least I was. I loved to do it. If I concentrated hard enough, I could hear every insect, every bird and tree rustle. It wasn't as noisy as you'd think either. It was like a little symphony of nature. The breeze topped it off too, adding it's rhythm to the song. I could smell things too. I loved the smell out here, natural, fresh.
After a little while, Jake spoke. "Nessie?" He asked, sounding nervous.
"Mmm?" I looked over at him.
"There's something I have to tell you." He said, his voice serious now as he sat up.
I cleared my throat, sitting up straight too.
I wondered what it was, instantly trying to guess and worrying myself with endless possibilities.
The worst being that he'd imprinted on somebody. It wasn't that I had romantic feelings for him, I didn't think so anyway, but if he'd imprinted it would mean him leaving me in a way. He would move wherever the girl moved, and I'd gotten so used to him staying with us. He would decide to...age. And then he'd eventually die, while I stayed frozen in time, forever...without him. I didn't want to lose my best friend. Not ever, if I could help it.
My heart rate accelerated a little. Shit, he would notice that.
"You know about...imprinting?" He asked.
A lump appeared in my throat and I tried to gulp it down as I nodded, not being successful just like with hiding my nervous state.
He seemed nervous too, closing his eyes as he took a deep breath.
"I think it's time...I told you..."
Told me what? Told me what! He couldn't leave me hanging like this.
He opened his eyes, his lips parting as they looked straight into mine. It seemed to take a lifetime before he finally spoke.
"You're the one I imprinted on."
If it were possible for me to die from a heart attack, then I probably would've just then.
"What!" I said, a little too loudly, making me sound angry.
"Shit." He breathed shakily. "I knew...I shouldn't have told you..I'm sorry...I can't help who I...you're my... You don't have to...want me back now...or ever. I'll just always be here."
I placed a finger to his lips, similar to the way he had to mine earlier on.
"Just...you...shut up." I said, not being able to help my wide smile.
He looked at me confused. "You're not mad? Confused? Upset?"
I was lost for words, that's what I was. "I'm...I'm so...relieved!"
"Relieved?"
"I didn't want to lose you, Jake. Never. I wanted to be selfish and have you in my life, forever." I confessed.
He smiled a small smile. "Now you know you will."
"Exactly!" I smiled, cupping his face in my hands.
I could hear both of our heartbeats racing inside our chests, mine a slight, fluttering faster than his. His breathing was shaky and I wanted to calm it, to soothe him. The smiled on my face almost matched his, although his was still a little in shock. A strange urge then shuddered through me, unnoticeably. I'd never felt it before, ever. My lips tingled and my eyes glanced at Jakes mouth.
My body felt cold, it needed warmth that I could not provide for it myself.
Slowly, I brought my face to his, our mouths moving closer.
Then, suddenly, something made me stop although I badly wanted to continue my action.
A smell surrounded us, it was a thick smell that I could almost taste too. I could feel it crackling in my lungs. I knew what it was, but I'd never smelt it this intensely before. It also had a strange twinge to it that I could not place my finger on.
I moved slightly back from his face. "Do you smell smoke?" I whispered.
Jake looked to the side, his nostrils flinching a little as he sniffed before turning back to me with furrowed, worried eyebrows, nodding.
I quickly stood up, looking to the sky, turning around in a semi-circle before stopping as I saw the grey clouds faintly appearing in the sky. Their thick, darkness noticeable against the white of the skys clouds.
I recognised where it was coming from and a gasp escaped me before I dashed into the woods.
I could feel my body trembling as I ran faster then I'd ever ran before. Worried tears welled in my eyes as I fought against the worst doubts in my mind. I heard Jacob running a few feet behind me in wolf form.
Please don't be what I think it is. Please don't be what I think it is...
I turned into the long, spiralling driveway to the Cullen family home, my vision already clouded by a faint grey smoke.
A crackling noise rang in my ears, sounding closer than it actually was because of my sensitive hearing.
I knew what I'd been worried about was now confirmed but I couldn't stop...I couldn't. I kept telling myself that maybe it was a dream, I just had to keep running.
I stopped outside the flaming house, falling to my knees as I caught my breath. I'd never run like that before and I'd actually gotten breathless. This was not a dream.
"No..." I breathed. "No!" I screamed louder tears falling from my eyes.
"Who did...No!" I sobbed.
Maybe I could still save them, vampires don't burn instantly, right?
I stood up, forcing my feet to move. Just as I was about to make a run for the flames, two large arms grabbed me from behind, holding me back.
"No, you're not going in there!" Jake cried.
"They're my family! They're your family! I have to!" I sobbed.
I wanted to fight, I wanted to push Jacob off me and run on in there, not caring if I died in the process as long as I saved at least someone, but I knew it was hopeless.
I turned to Jake, noticing tears in his eyes too.
"They're okay, right!" I cried. "Vampires don't burn instantly?"
He looked as if he wanted to lie and make me feel better but he looked down, picking me up and running me away from the smoke.
We stopped running about a mile from the scene. My face was now expressionless. I was too numb to cry.
Jake and I were dripping with sweat from the heat of the fire.
"Put me down." I said blankly.
Jake placed my feet on the ground and I began to walk. I don't know where I was going, I just kept walking, dragging my feet along the ground.
Suddenly, I collapsed. My feet just collapsed. I didn't argue with them to get back up either. I just stayed there, gripping my chest as I sobbed into the ground.
"It's not true. Tell me it's not true!" I cried.
Jacob came up behind me and sat down, pulling me up into his arms as I sobbed into his chest. "I don't...I don't understand. Everything was so happy and then..just like that!...This can't happen! It's not...who would do this! They're gone! They can't be gone! They can't be, Jake! They can't be gone! It's not happening! This isn't happening!" I cried over and over again, gripping my hair as I rocked back and forth in his lap.
He stroked my hair, holding me tightly as I sobbed and screamed repetitively into his chest.
"It hurts!" I sobbed. "Stop it hurting! I can't...it hurts!" I gripped my chest so tightly I thought I would split in half. My heart tightened in my chest and I felt like I couldn't breathe as my lungs shrank into nothing. A sharp pain pierced through my chest and felt like a knife splitting all my insides open.
"We can stop that pain. Make you forget, everything." A dark, child's voice came from somewhere in the trees.
I looked up, as did Jake.
I quietened my sobs, still holding onto my chest to keep it together but also grabbing onto Jake with my hand.
I gasped and Jake gripped me tighter as a small, blond child with red eyes appeared in front of us wearing a dark hood. I instantly recognised the face. Jane. I'd only ever seen her once, and I'd been less than a year old, but I remembered.
It processed quickly in my mind that she was here, and she knew why I was crying, just as my families home burnt to the ground.
"You." I growled angrily before going to stand up and pounce on her. I wanted to rip her apart. I didn't care if she appeared in a child's body, she was an ancient, evil monster. As far as I was concerned, she killed my family.
Jake grabbed my arm and pulled me back, standing in front of me. "Don't." He warned me, looking at me intensely before turning back to the demon.
"Smart move from the dog!" She said, widening her eyes slightly in mock surprise. "You knew what I was going to do to her if she tried anything, didn't you?" She said, her red eyes shifting behind Jake and glinting darkly at me.
"You killed them!" I snarled, struggling against Jakes arms that were pulled behind him, holding me back.
She let out a small laugh. "That's a rather serious accusation, Renesmee. Are you sure it's true?"
I glared at her.
"What do you want?" Jake asked, his tone dark and serious.
Two more dark, hooded figures appeared beside Jane. I remembered them too. Caius and Felix.
"What do you think we want? Don't play dumb." Caius smiled wickedly at Jacob before flickering his glance to me.
"Don't even think about it." Jake growled, holding me to his back tighter. "I'll die before I let anything happen to her."
"That can be arranged." Felix said, stepping forward.
"No!" I shrieked, finally finding the strength to break free of Jacobs grip and racing in front of him, holding my arms out.
"Felix. You know Aro's plans for these two. He was very clear." Jane said, her eyes glancing up at him.
"Wait. You killed my family just so I would come join your stupid clan! You fucking killed them!" My voice rose before Jacob threw me behind him again.
"Maybe." Jane said, no expression on her face, giving me no clue. But her answer gave me an inkling of hope, of dreaming, that they were still alive.
"We have a question for you. Your answer will determine your future with us. Will you willingly come with us? Aro demands it. And what Aro demands, Aro usually gets." She said.
"No!" I shot back instantly. "Of course not! Are you kidding me! Why would I!"
"We figured since your family is dead, then there was hope you would."
"No." I said through my teeth. "Never."
"Very well then." She sighed. "Nahuel." She called.
What? Nahuel? Nahuel was my friend...why would he be helping them?
A hand gripped my forehead, pulling me back. Another arm slinked around my waist, holding me closer to my captor.
Jacob spun around. "Get your fucking hands off her." He growled.
"Goodbye, Renesmee." Said Jane. "Forever."
A sensation shot through my skull as Nahuel's, I assumed they were his anyway, fingers pressed down on my forehead. I heard an ear piercing screech escape from my mouth as pain sparked from his fingertips and it felt as if things were being ripped from my...my mind. Memories and thoughts, feelings and secrets, they all unlocked and flashed before my eyes as if they were on a projector, before they disappeared into somewhere unknown. Some hidden compartment in my brain. I could feel it all happening.
And then everything shut down. Everything was black.
Jacob
"No!" I screamed as Nessie's body jolted with some kind of shock as soon as Nahuel pressed his fingers to her forehead. She released a screech and then her body began to tremble.
I went forward, only to be held back by Felix, the largest of the three Volturi.
He held a knife near my throat. "You see this? Venom blade. You want that slicing your skin and getting into your bloodstream, doggy boy?"
"What are you doing to her!" I demanded.
"Let's just say, we're getting rid of Renesmee...as you know her." He said darkly.
Everything had been so perfect today. I finally told her. And then, all in the blink of an eye, it was turning to one big nightmare. I swore, if there was a God, that he loved to play with my life and watch me suffer. No love for Jacob, just bring him pain. No, wait! Better idea! Snap it up from under him just when he thinks he's got it! That'll hurt him good!
I eyed the knife, there was no way I could struggle without getting cut, and I had to stay alive for Nessie. I needed to save her, somehow.
"What about me? Huh? What are you going to do to me?" I growled.
"Well, we wanted to kill you. But Aro has...other plans, lucky for you. He doesn't like to kill either. Not much anyway." He explained. I couldn't take my eyes off Nessie's spasming body. The sight wrenched my heart and I had the strongest urge to kill everyone here and race her out of harms way, forever. They'd already hurt her enough by what they may or may not have done to her family. To Bella, my other best friend apart from Nessie.
"And what might those plans be, you cold bastard?" I asked.
Those words seemed to piss him off but he answered me eventually.
"You have to do everything she says, am I right?" He asked, pointing in Nessie's direction with the knife.
"How do you know that?"
"I did my homework. What's it called again?...Imprinting. That's it. You imprinted on Renesmee. Which means you have to do anything, be anything for her. Anything she demands out of you. You have to do it." He said.
I gulped. "And? What does this have to do with anything?"
"You'll find out." He chuckled darkly.
Nessie's body had collapsed to the ground as Nahuel picked her up.
"I thought you were her friend!" I yelled at him as he looked up at us. He didn't say anything, looking down as he walked past us with her body. I heard her faint breathing and let a small breath of relief out that she was still alive.
Felix pulled the knife from underneath my chin and placed it in his coat pocket.
"Hope you don't get seasick. Here's something to calm the nerves incase you are." He said before jabbing a needle into my arm.
"Ow! What was that!" I yelled.
"Something to get you off my nerves for a few hours." He hissed as everything around me went blurry, my hearing cut out, and then there was blackness.
Hmmmm, are you enjoying it yet? I know it's kind of rushed. Too rushed? I just wanted to get into the story, I guess. I got excited, hehe. Also, don't get too upset yet, there's still debate over whether or not the Cullen's are actually dead. Did The Volturi fake their death? I'll leave you guys hanging on that one ;)
Also, I wrote this whole chapter all in one night so sorry if it's kind of crappy, I just couldn't stop writing.
I don't know, leave me reviews letting me know what you thought.
