Chapter 2: The New Dog in the Family
By the time I woke up we were at the huge glass house I call home, and there was…barking. I jumped off Jacob and ran inside, and there was mom and dad, sitting on the couch, petting a German shepherd puppy!
"Oh my god!" I shouted as I ran over to pet the little bundle of fur. I'd been asking for a dog for months! I can't believe they got me one!
"Oh Renesmee! We were so scared!" My mom cried as she ran over to give me a hug. "Thank god you're alive." My dad said. "I can't believe you got me a puppy!" I exclaimed, "I thought you said no dogs!" "Well, we got this little girl, as a welcome- back- from- being- kidnapped present, I guess." "Thank you guys so much! I love you!" I said as I went to give them both a hug, "I missed you both so much!"
After we had our little welcome festival I said hi to my two aunts and uncles, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice. (Rosalie's my favorite.) Then I decided a name for my new puppy. "Jetheah." I said, "After the three wolves that saved me from the vampires."
"Jetheah?" my mom asked, "Are you sure? Combining names like that?" "Well you combined Renee and Esme to get Renesmee, so I'm combining Jacob, Seth, and Leah to create Jetheah, in that order." My mom knew my mind was set, but she tired one more time to convince me," But why not Ivy or angel or some cool exotic name." "Jetheah is exotic, original, and cool mom, I'm naming her Jetheah" "Okay fine, whatever makes my Nessie happy is fine with me."
The next day after we all had a good rest Jacob and I went to take Jetheah for a walk, and she was very fond of Jacob, probably because of the wolf in him. "Hey, Jake, see if you can talk to her in wolf form!" I said, trying not to laugh, and, of course, he turned into a wolf to try and talk to her. A few minutes later he changed back.
"What'd she say?" I asked in a mocking tone" "She wanted to know if I was single," I started laughing, "But I told her I was taken." He said as he wrapped his arms around from behind me and kissed my cheek.
I started laughing as Jetheah attacked Jacob and fell to the ground, "Looks like someone's jealous!" "Ha! She's one feisty puppy!" he laughed, "I think her name's too long, we should make her nickname Jay, how 'bout it, Nessie?" "Sounds cool to me." I said, "Come 'ere Jay, come on!" The little black and tan dog bounded over from across the field to me. "I think she likes it." Jacob said.
"I think she does." A goddess-like voice said from behind. I turned around, "Rosalie!" I said. "Hey Nessie! What's up?" She said as she ran to pick me up and twirl me around. "Hey hybrid-kid!" Emmett said as he jogged up to snatch me from Rosalie's hands. "Hi Emmett!" I said."What are you guys doing here?"
"Well, can't we play with Jetheah, too?" Rosalie asked. "Ya, I wanna play with the newest dog in the family." Emmett said as he looked at Jacob teasingly. "But I think I'll like this one better, it won't through food bowls at Rose's head."
Jacob laughed."Oh yea! I got food in her hair when I did that!" they both started laughing along with me, Rosalie just stared. "That wasn't funny; it took me a week to get that stuff out of my hair."
"Chill, Rose, it was over 12 years ago! Lighten up!" Emmett said, still snickering. "Ya, Rosalie! I would've laughed if I got food in my hair 12 years ago!" Jacob said. But she was already on her way home.
The next day I woke up to a wet tongue being swept across my face, and couldn't tell weather it was Jacob or Jetheah. I got up to find a little German shepherd wagging her tail in excitement. "Okay," I said, "let's get you something to eat."
"When I went downstairs with Jay in my arms everyone had a worried expression on their face. "What's wrong?" I asked. Seth and Leah were there too. Seth answered, "We got all but one vampire." He said in a shaky voice, "And I think she was the most lethal of them all." "What!" I cried, nearly dropping Jetheah, "Witch one!" "Well, I don't exactly know her name, but she had, um, I think black hair, oh yea! The one that Jacob clawed out the eye."
"Shit!" daddy screamed. "Shit shit shit!" "Edward, calm down!" mom said. "No! That wicked vampire is after our little Nessie! We have to find and kill her, just like we did James!" I heard the story of James before, he tried to kill my mom, but dad ripped out his throat and killed him. I read dad's mind. I can't let amaryllis get Renesmee; I can't believe she would still be jealous after over 50 years! That bitch is going to be slowly burnt…I couldn't go on anymore, the things he thought when mad! I dug deeper to see who Amaryllis was.
His mind took me to a flashback of dad's old town, before he was a vampire. A dark-haired woman and he stood next to each other, holding hands. The woman was, Amaryllis. They were going out! Then dad got on one knee and opened up a small velvet box, Amaryllis began crying and jumping up and down shouting out yes over and over again. Oh my god! They weren't just going out! They were going to get married! The next day he was diagnosed with Spanish influenza. A few days later Carlisle turned him into a vampire. Dad broke the news to Amaryllis that they couldn't be together because of his influenza, the next day Carlisle, Esme, and dad moved to a completely different area.
I reluctantly pulled out of his head. That's why Amaryllis kidnapped me, to get back at dad for hurting her so much. That night I confronted him. "I know about you and Amaryllis." I said. "What?" he asked, slightly confused, "I looked into your mind, and I saw you propose too her, then say it couldn't work. I know what happened those last few days of your mortality; I know why she kidnapped me."
He was silent, obviously stunned that I knew so much about him and Amaryllis. Then he spoke; "it was one of the hardest things I'd ever done," He began, "But I had too, I couldn't control my thirst much longer, I was a newborn, it just couldn't work out, but know she's found me and after you in revenge." He started to shake, head in his hands, his voice croaked, "I don't want anything too happen to you Nessie!"
The sight of him crying (or close enough, vampires can't cry.) broke my heart, I wanted to cry, too, but I know if I do he will just cry even more, so I comforted him; "Everything will be okay, dad, we'll kill Amaryllis and I'll be safe, I promise."
"Us too." We both looked up too see Emmett walking into the room, followed by Rose, Alice, Jasper, and Jacob. "We'll all kill that vampire," Jacob said, "For Nessie." He looked at me with tender, loving eyes; I looked back the same way.
