I know, short first chapter; but I thought it was a nice way to start off a brand new story. Let me know what you think?
Forever Yours
Chapter 1
Jacob's point of view:
"NO!" Edward shouted as he and Bella rushed up to me.
I just found Nessie; and she wasn't breathing. I was hoping and praying she was alive. I can't go on without her.
"Nessie, baby, please hear me!" Bella pleaded shaking Nessie. I was frozen as Nessie didn't respond.
"Carlisle!" Edward shouted. Just then the rest of the Cullens rushed over to us.
"We need to get her back to the house as quick as possible." Carlisle said.
"Is she going to be alright?" Alice asked worried. Please say she will!
"She has a faint pulse. If I don't do surgery; she'll suffocate or bleed to death." Carlisle said in a rush; trying to stop the bleeding on some of her wounds.
"We'll head back; and set up!" Rosalie said. She and Alice dashed off.
"Jasper, Emmett. Try and see if you can catch their scent." Edward said then looked up from Nessie.
"The wolves picked up on the scent. Hurry." Edward said. Jasper and Emmett nodded; and left.
"Jake, it might be best if you went with them." Bella said. I looked at her like she was crazy. You've got to be kidding me?
"I'm not leaving her." I growled.
I picked up her limp body-as if she were a porcelain doll-and started to run. I couldn't leave her now just to phase. By the way Carlisle talked we couldn't spare anymore time.
Please hold on Nessie!
~~~~FOREVER YOURS~~~~
We finally made it back to the house. Carlisle's office looked like a hospital room.
I laid Nessie on the table; and held her hands, breathing heavy. She can't leave me!
"Jacob, you're going to have to step out." Carlisle said.
"No." I said through clenched teeth.
"Jake, please. We don't have anymore time to spare." Edward pleaded.
"Come on Jake, let's go wait downstairs." Embry said. I let him and Quil drag me out of the room. My eyes never left her; as I was being pulled out of the room. My heart ached to be with her. Especially when Carlisle shut the door.
"She'll be okay." Quil said as we walked down stairs.
"Did you find anything?" I asked my voice shaky as we got to the bottom of the stairs.
"Kaleb's got the other's checking it out." Quil said then Jasper and Emmett came through the door.
"How is she?" Both asked
"Carlisle's got her in surgery. Edward's assisting." Alice said we were all trying to figure out what happen. Everything seemed to be in slow motion.
I plopped down on the couch next to Bella; and put my head in my hands.
"Did you find anything?" Esme said her voice attempting to be strong. We all knew she was trying to be strong for all of us.
"One of them screwed up our sense of smell; so we lost it." Emmett said angrily; but also shameful for not killing them.
"I did feel the female's emotion. She wanted revenge." Jasper said. Why would they want revenge on Nessie? What did Nessie do to deserve this?
"This is my entire fault. I saw the make a snap decision! They were playing with my blind spots! I should have known; when I saw their futures get blurry!" Alice said getting up. I wanted to blame Alice; but I couldn't. I had more important things to worry about.
"I should have never sent that application." Rosalie said. What application?
"I can't believe I slapped her!" Bella rambled. They shouldn't feel guilty. It wasn't there fault. It was mine. I should have never acted that way towards Nessie. Everything might have been different if I never let jealousy get in the way. And now look what happen!
"This wasn't your fault. None of you." Esme said. I couldn't sit still now. I walked over to the big glass window; and leaned my head against the cold glass.
"No, it's my fault. I should have believed what Nessie said. I should have stayed with her. She wouldn't be up there now between life and death!" I said as Quil and Embry slipped out the door.
They all tried to say it wasn't. Including Bella.
Just then there was a knock on the door. I didn't care who it was. I just wanted Nessie to be okay.
I watched the snow get heavy. Nessie would be begging right now to be outside. But she's not! Because of my stupidity!
I closed my eyes tight to block the tears threatening to fall.
"Is Nessie okay?" I heard Abby say. Of Corse she's not okay!
"What do you think!? Nessie's up there fighting for her life! She's not down here with us! What type of stupid question is that!?" I snapped. Abby looked at me with shock. I didn't care! I could go mad; and still not care. If she died…
"Jacob!" Esme scolded. I imagined Nessie telling me that.
"She's in surgery right now." Rosalie said.
"Could we stay?" There was a pause and movement; so I guess that was a yes.
I heard a sound of aggravation coming from upstairs. It must not be going good; and that wasn't news I wanted to hear.
"She's going into shock!" I heard Carlisle say. I'm not doctor; but I know that wasn't good.
Everything was crashing down on me now. Fatigue kicked in; but I couldn't sleep. I didn't have to worry about the pack. Kaleb and Leah can take care of that; and fill me in.
"Please Edward; keep her alive." I thought.
Rosalie gasped; then walked over to the tree. She picked up the angel Nessie put on the tree.
"The wings broke." she said. Funny, both pieces were okay; just detached from one another.
"It sucks that it's so close to Christmas." Karli said.
"Yeah, a fun way to celebrate it too." Emmett mumbled. I felt a cold hand squeeze my shoulder.
"Hey Jake." Bella whispered. I mumbled hey back.
"You're quiet." I shrugged. I couldn't speak. It felt like something was stuck in my throat; not letting me speak. All I was running on was: shock, adrenaline, and hope. Without that; I don't know what would happen.
"I'm fine." I managed to mumble. To be honest; I wasn't, and Bella knew that. None of us were fine.
~~~~FOREVER YOURS~~~
I was getting impatient. It seemed to be taking hours. I've actually tried to sneak up there one or two times. I hated us being separated.
I hated that I didn't protect her enough. What kind of imprinter am I? I'm suppose to protect my imprint, I should have protected her; but instead I run off like the coward I am.
What I'd I didn't go up there? What if I never left her? What if I came back; and been there for her? Everything would be okay right?
Ha, yeah right. They would have eventually come for Nessie. She might not even care for me. She might have fallen in love; and ran off with Nahuel.
I gritted my teeth whenever I thought of that name. It still hurts to know that; his lips were on my Renesmee's.
I started pacing in front of the stairs; and looked up.
"Jacob. Don't even think about it." Jasper said. What would he do? Oh right, physically drag me back down stairs; and control my emotions.
The pack would take turns between sitting with us; and patrolling the areas. Seeing if they could attempt to pick up on the scent. Where they were at. These leeches that did this to Nessie aren't the only one's who wanted revenge.
"Jake, please stop pacing. You're making me dizzy." Abby said.
"Sorry" I mumbled then plopped back down on the couch.
"Girls, both of you should go home. We'll call you if anything happens." Bella said but both girls shook their heads no. It was probably best. They were surrounded by a bunch of werewolves and vampires. They would be safe. Ha, I thought the same thing with Nessie; and now look what's happen.
"Please Bella; we want to stay here." Both girls pleaded.
"I'll call your parents; you can stay the night." Esme said.
"What's taking so long!?" I grumbled running my hands threw my hair.
"Jake, these things take time. We have to be patient." Rosalie said. I hated waiting.
"Both your parents said it was okay." Esme said.
"What's today's date?" Alice asked.
"Today's Christmas Eve." Rosalie said with sadness in her voice. Today was the day I had a special date planned for Nessie.
"Why?" Jasper asked.
"I'm trying to see Nessie's future; but I knew it was useless." Alice said aggravated. All of the taking was like a background noise to me. The more I was away from her; the more I wanted to try and sneak up there.
I glanced around the room to make sure nobody was watching. Nobody was. Good.
I made a made dash for the stairs. I got half way before Jasper and Emmett dragged me back down.
"NO!" I shouted fighting against there hold.
I pushed them off of me; and tried again. This time I had Sam, Jarred, and Paul pull me back down; me fighting their hold the whole time.
"I NEED TO BE WITH HER! SHE NEEDS ME! I NEED HER!" I shouted pushing, shoving, doing whatever I could to get up there.
"Jake, stop. You doing this isn't helping." Sam said as I fought more.
"Take him outside." Bella said. I growled at her, my anger-and control- getting worse.
"NO!" I growled. I saw Jasper concentrate on me; and then I felt more tired than I already was.
"Jasper. Don't do this." I begged. The more I fought; the calmer I became.
I had one last chance. I punched Paul in the gut; and slung him into Sam and Jarred, then made a dash towards the stairs. Again.
I got closer this time than before; but this time I felt a cold hand grab me by the back of my hair and slung me back. I crashed against the wall. That didn't stop me though.
Just then Paul pushed me to the ground; and got on top of me, the only thing that could keep me under control.
I screamed and fought the whole time.
After a while after Jasper changing me emotions; I was semi calm. Almost.
"Sam, take him outside." Jasper said. I guess he couldn't handle our battle over who gets to control my emotions. That meant I was winning.
"It'll be okay man." Paul said as they dragged me outside.
Before they could get me to the door; we heard footsteps come down. Edward.
Everybody waited for him to come down. Waited to see if Nessie was alive.
But he didn't say anything. He went straight to Bella; and wrapped her up in a hug. No… she can't be…
"Edward, please tell me she's not dead. She-she can't be." I thought. He didn't say anything. He just looked past Bella; and directly at me.
I felt like I was loosing the battle against the tears. They brimmed my eyes; threatening to fall.
"Edward. Please." I said.
"She's alive. Barely; but alive." Edward said. I sank to my knees. Nessie was alive! That's all that matters.
"What are her injuries?" Bella asked. I didn't care what they were; but as long as she was alive!
"Nessie has a: shattered knee, broken ankle, dislocated shoulder, punctured lung, broken ribs, a lot of scratches and bruises." Edward said. Alright, nothing to rejoice over; but she was still here!
"Is she awake?" Emmett asked. Edward shook his head no.
"We can see her." Edward added.
We rushed up to Carlisle's office. I was the first one in. She looked so unrecognizable; but I knew it was her at the same time.
I rushed to her side; got down on my knees and took her hand.
"Please come back to me Nessie." I thought kissing her hand.
"She has no brain damage; but it seems she's slipped into a coma." Carlisle said, his eyes never leaving her.
"How can she be more human; but when she was fist born, more vampire?" Emmett asked.
"She still has vampire qualities; but we've never tried to see if she was durable to a full vampire. Until now." Carlisle answered. I didn't care what she was.
"Plus has to act human at school." Alice said. None of us said anything. Nobody really cared. I know I didn't.
All I cared about was: that Nessie would make it through the night. That she would come back to me. Te everybody.
We all fell silent.
"Why her? Why did they want to hurt her? Nessie never did anything wrong!" Bella said. She's right. Why Nessie? She wasn't a danger to anybody!
"Nessie's unique. They believed she was a danger." Edward said. We knew Nessie was unique; but still why?
"What I picked up from their thoughts were: they planned on attacking; but we killed the Blonde's mate, so she wanted revenge. They made a snap decision; and Nessie took the bait." Edward said.
He started to tell us everything that he picked up on. That it was all planned.
"So, to get revenge; they wanted to kill Nessie?" Alice said.
"They knew we would do anything to protect her; and we would be lost without her." Edward answered. We all stopped short when Nessie moaned and winced in pain.
"What is she thinking? Can she hear us?" I asked rubbing my thumb on her hand.
"Her thoughts are blank. It's like she's not thinking anything." By the sound of his voice; it's not good.
We all stayed silent. Hoping, waiting that she would be okay.
"Carlisle, just tell me one thing: is she going to live?" Bella said determined to get an answer.
"Rose, Alice, why don't we go fix some food for the girls and the pack." Esme said. They walked out the room. I guess this was a: parent, imprinter, grandfather/doctor conversation.
"Emmett, why don't we see if we can find the scent; and let the wolves know everything?" Jasper said. They left too.
"All honestly; I don't know. It's her fight." Carlisle said worried. If he didn't know then…
I started to think about what all could go wrong; when Edward cleared his throat, and motioned for us to leave.
"Carlisle wants to spend time alone with her huh?" I thought. Edward shook his head; and we reluctantly walked out.
We all wanted to be up there. To be with her.
"I love you Nessie"
~~~~FOREVER YOURS~~~~
Edward's point of view:
Sometimes; I hated hearing people's thoughts. This time; there was only one I wanted to hear: My beautiful daughter's.
Everybody was thinking the same thing: Why her? Will she wake up? Why can't I hear her thoughts? WHY?!
We were all worried. We were all running on one thing: hope. We can't wake her up. I don't know what she's thinking. We can only hope that she is fighting.
Knowing my Nessie; if she wants something bad enough, she's going to get it. One way or another. And I knew my little girl was a fighter. Always has been.
I pulled Bella closer to me; as I ran my hands nervously through my hair. This was going to be a long Christmas.
Today was Christmas Eve! There was a chance that Nessie won't be able to celebrate her favorite holiday. This was going to be a special one too. My little girl is a senior in high school; and this was going to be the last Christmas she was going to have in high school.
There won't be any celebrating until she wakes up.
What is she doesn't though? What if we have to change her? Would it help her; or hurt her? She is part vampire; would it make her a whole?
"Edward, I know you already explained this; but why my Nessie? Our Nessie?" Bella thought opening her shield. I gave her a kiss; and pushed hair out of her black eyes.
"You need to hunt." I said.
"I am not going anywhere. Not until I know that my little girl is okay." she said determined.
"She is; but you need to-"
"Don't tell me I need to hunt! I will not go anywhere; unless my Renesmee is going to be alright! I won't leave until: she wakes up, looks me in the eyes, and says that she will be fine! How do you know that she is going to be alright?! You don't even know what they did to her! How do you know she's going to be okay; when you can't even hear her! How do you know that she is going to wake up?!" Bella snapped getting out of my embrace.
"I don't know she will be alright; but can't I hope that she will be?" I asked. Bella shrugged and looked down.
"I don't know what they did to her. I don't know what they did to hurt my little girl. I don't know what she's thinking; or what she's going through now. I wish I had all the answers; but I don't." I said trying to embrace her again; but she quickly shrugged it off.
"Bella, it scares the heck out of me of what could happen-"
"Scared! I'm terrified Edward! Maybe if we changed everything; it wouldn't go like that. Nessie would be here with us! I hate seeing her like that! All bruised, hurt, and in pain! How do you think that makes me feel? I'm her mother! I'm suppose to protect her from all harm! And I can't!" she shouted.
"How do you think I feel?! My little girl is not here laughing! Not here with Jacob beside her; as we celebrate her favorite holiday! I made a promise not anybody hurt her! And now look what happen!" I shouted. Bella and I rarely fought.
I left the room; and walked outside onto the front porch. I sat down on a chair; and put my head in my hands.
What are we going to do?
~~~FORVER YOURS~~~
Carlisle point of view:
I sat there holding my granddaughter's hand. We almost lost her. I disliked putting my feelings in front of my work; but when somebody you love is at risk, what can you do?
Jacob was near by. He would be; and I knew he wanted to be with Nessie. Everybody did.
Nessie looked in pain; and I've given her as much medicine as I could.
Nessie moaning in pain; and moving is a good sign that she is still with us. But there were still things that could go wrong to stop that.
We had to keep a real close eye on her. In this condition; anything could happen.
I looked at her again. Nessie's face was bruised; but on her neck there were teeth marks. I moved her long hair so I could see the whole thing. It looked like one of them tried to bite her; but was knocked out the way.
I looked closer to see if venom got in her bloodstream. Surprisingly, it didn't; but why?
To a human; it would like regular scratches, but to us… it meant something more.
Edward heard my thoughts; and rushed in the room, followed by the others.
"Edward, look." I motioned to her neck. He looked.
"She was bitten." Edward said out loud.
"WHAT?!" Jacob said through clenched teeth.
"From the marks; I would say one of them tried to bite Nessie, but was pushed away. Venom somehow isn't in her system." I said. Just then Jasper and Emmett walked through the door.
"The scents long gone. No trace at all." My third son said.
"I have a feeling they'll be back to finish what they started." Emmett said.
"The pack's going to do shifts. If they want to sneak past; we'll know." Jacob said. We stayed silent; then heard a gasp from Alice.
"One of them is going to the Volturi. The one that makes you believe lies or something like that." The others are giving up." Edward said as Alice was still in a daze.
"He wants to join. The Volturi will accept him." Alice said coming out of her trance.
"They think Akken's gift will be very useful with the other guards." Alice said. My family was still in danger. Everything was at risk now…
