Ch 2: Answers

We all stood there looking at each other for what felt like hours, although I'm sure it was mere minutes it felt like half the day went by while we all stood there and assessed the situation at hand, as well as each other's moods. I'm sure my dad was using this time to see what we had been discussing.

Questions started to pour into my head, drowning me, suddenly I couldn't breathe. What did they want? Why were they here? Did they think Nahuel was dangerous?

"Nessie, you know that I wasn't trying to listen to your thoughts, but when I heard you had a visitor, I couldn't help myself." My father's voice was soft and apologetic and his face almost looked ashamed as he confessed this invasion of my privacy.

I understand why dad had come, and it didn't surprise me that mom followed him. I knew they couldn't stand to be away from each other for any length of time. But why did Jacob and Alice come and was it possible that they thought Nahuel was dangerous? The fact that my dad had yet to answer that question made me nervous. I could feel my throat closing as my breathing and heart -rate increased to compensate for the lack of air in my lungs.

"I didn't pay attention to who your visitor was when I left, to tell the truth, I took off as soon as I realized you had a visitor. Alice and your mom had been up in Alice's room and she had a vision that I was about to run off without warning, so naturally when they came outside to see me running out into the forest, they followed. And Jacob was just arrived to see all of us take off, so he too followed, assuming the worst." He was still avoiding my most important question, typical, everyone still thought of me as a child and they were afraid to tell me they thought Nahuel was dangerous. I was enraged, my body started to burn with fury and I felt as if I could breathe fire. I wanted to run. I had to run.

At that moment it was as if my body took over. I had no control of my actions, I felt as if I was watching everything from a distance and in slow motion, I was in awe of the brave rebellious girl on front of me as she grabbed Nahuel's hand showing him to run with her and they took off. Two half-breeds running together through the forest, where were they going? How stupid they were. Did they not realize that the vampires and the wolf that were trailing them were much faster, not to mention stronger.

As reality set in I showed Nahuel the image of my family running behind us, gaining on us. In a panicked voice I asked, "What should we do?"

His voice sounded at ease as he spoke, "What do you want to do?"

Possibilities ran through my brain like a cheetah through the savannah. Should we keep running? Where should we go? Should we stop and talk to them? My mind was racing and I was panicked.

Finally, I decided that I would go back to the house so I could recruit some allies. Rosalie would be sure to side with me, she hated Jacob. Having her help would also mean that I had Emmet, which would help immensely. As I started to consider what team Jasper, and my grandparents would take I started to feel sad and sick and as I ran through the forest. Then without warning I collapsed. I didn't want my family to fight. What were we fighting about? This was stupid, how could I be so childish?

I started to stand with the help of my new friend. As my family came to a stop I assessed the emotions dancing on their faces. My mother was curious and confused. Alice was agitated. My father was calm, but his jaw was clenched so hard that if he hadn't been a vampire I would worry that his teeth would break. When I finally forced myself to, look at my Jacob, I instantly regretted it. Grief, deep sorrow, guilt, and anger consumed him. His eyes were sad, and lost. I wanted to run to him, to comfort him, but I knew that would only confuse him further.

Realizing that my dad was the only one that had the full story I apologized to everyone as I walked towards my mother. I held my hand to her cheek and showed her the day's events through my eyes. I showed her the curiosity, the rage, the sadness, the sickness, and most of all the confusion. All of these emotions were running through my mind.

At last I dropped my hand and my mother pulled me into a firm hug in her cold, comforting arms. My dad came over and hugged me to. Then I confronted Alice showing her the same series of events, and like my parents, she embraced me with a familiar cold hug.

The only person I had yet to explain myself to was the last person I wanted to explain myself to right now. Slowly and cautiously I walked up to my Jacob and placed my hand on his cheek. I didn't show him everything like I had with my family. With Jacob I was careful to leave out the thoughts I had about him, as well as the conversation that had involved my complicated relationship with him. I showed him only what he needed to know. I hated keeping things from him, but I was worried the truth would devastate him. I showed him the curiosity I had regarding Nahuel, as well as the rage I had when I felt I was being treated like a child yet again.

When I was done his eyes were still cautious as he hugged me. It was like he knew that I was leaving something out. After all he was my best friend and up until his recent declaration of love I had told him everything. But how could I tell him what I was thinking about him? I knew I couldn't tell him the thoughts that I was forming about Nahuel. My mind began to wander as Jacob wrapped me in his warm arms, and in my mind I started singing the National Anthem in every language I knew so my father couldn't invade my privacy any further.

After what seemed like hours Jacob let me go and my father asked if our guest would like to accompany us to our home. As soon as I shook my head to confirm that I wanted him to join us we were all running at superhuman speed back to the house.
