2. Awaking
"Sapphira, are you conscious?" Edward asked.
I could move my lips again, "Yeah, I'm just really tired. What time is it?"
"It's 10pm."
"What day is it?"
"Tuesday."
"Tuesday?" I repeated, in shock.
"Yes, did you feel pains?" Edward questioned me calmly.
"I got here on Friday. That would mean, I was all weird on Saturday morning… it's Tuesday… I'm not a vampire am I?"
"No, of course not. The pains were Jacob's heat trying to zap you awake in the day. He's sleeping now, we spent about a day and a half trying to get you awake."
"But, it was more than 6 hours. Wouldn't you have to turn me into a vampire?"
"Carlisle checked your condition. Since Jacob was trying to zap you awake, he thought that you would be fine. Bella finally realized that she wanted you human to be with Charlie and Renée, obviously because she cannot visit them for long. You are human, you can age, Bella cannot."
"Why didn't you say no, Edward?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" Edward asked, confused. "Oh, I know what you are talking about. You should really get out of Bella's diaries. Anyway, I'll tell you. I promised her that I would do anything for her. Bella is my love. I would do anything for her."
"You almost killed her."
"It was her decision, I always knew that we could save her in the end."
"Don't be so sure."
"You should have just left Bella with Jacob. Bella would have then been normal. Charlie would be happy. Renée would be happy. Bella would be happy, although her heart would ache from you. You know what I want to know, you should have just left her forever. Jacob was doing a fine job with her. Then you almost broke her heart and killed yourself. I mean, why does she like you? You're a killer."
"I understand what you are getting at, Sapphira. I tried to tell her that. But, she was so interested in becoming a vampire. I couldn't tell her no."
"You should have. You tore our family apart. Charlie is alone, except for Sue."
"I'm sorry, Sapphira. I didn't mean to upset you. I understand why you do not like me for this."
"Yeah, but forget about it."
"Why forget? I thought you were upset."
"You're my brother."
"My marriage, not by blood."
"Obviously, you're blood was sucked out of you in the 20th century. Doesn't it freak you out that you are dating Bella, she's so young compared to you."
"I know, but age doesn't matter when I'm with Bella. I could be 2,000 years old and I wouldn't feel weird. The only thing that feels weird is being without Bella. It hurts me."
"Now you get to be with her for a long time."
"Forever," he nodded.
"Can I go downstairs now?" I asked him.
"Sure, I'll take you down there."
"Is Jacob still there?"
"Yes, it's an imprinting outbreak."
"What is the purpose of that?"
"Purpose of what?"
"Imprinting. It's just stupid."
"So werewolves find their mate. I could understand why you are upset."
"Yeah, pretty much."
"But, Bella's heart would be broken if I wasn't here for her. I mean, if Jacob and her were together, and then he finds that girl and imprints on her- he would leave Bella. That happened with Sam and Leah. Even though Leah was a little mean to people, I could understand if that happened to me. To be with the person that you love, and then that person rips your heart out. Bella just couldn't be around that, I suppose."
"I can relate. But, why Renesmee?"
"They are meant to be together. They are soul mates. But, Jacob is more of a brother than a husband, or boyfriend."
"Do you mind that Jacob imprinted on her?"
"Depends."
"How would he stop loving her?"
"If he was completely human, I guess."
"I have to make him human!"
"Don't count on it, kid."
"I'm not a kid! I'm older than you!"
"No you aren't, I was born in the 20th century."
"So was I!"
"The beginning of the 20th century."
"But I'm still 18, you're 17!"
"I've been 17 for a long time."
"Okay, let's go downstairs," I laughed.
Downstairs were Bella, Rosalie, Renesmee, and Jacob. No Jasper, Alice, Esme, Emmett, Esme, or Carlisle. I wonder where they were.
"Hi Sapphira," Rosalie greeted.
"Hey, Rosalie. Where's Jasper, Alice, Es-" I began.
"Hunting," she interrupted.
"Good morning, err, night, sleepyhead!" Jacob yelled.
"Nice," I chuckled. "Do I have to go back to bed?"
Bella looked up at me from Renesmee, "I don't think so, you slept since Saturday morning. You should feel good."
"We were getting worried," Edward said behind me.
Bella looked at me again, "Yeah, Sapphira. Never scare us like that."
I looked at Jacob dully.
"I was just carrying you back to the house, don't blame me!"
"I feel really sick."
"That's odd," Edward commented.
For a while, it was silence. Then, the sound of the doorbell ruined it. Edward walked to the door, and ducked down in shock, he turned to Bella.
"Bella, Jane and Felix," Edward merely whispered.
"Oh my gosh, Jacob, Sapphira, go to Edward's room. Cover yourself in Edward's clothes. Make yourself smell like a vampire."
"My dog smell is going to give it away," Jacob complained.
"JUST GO!" Bella yelled.
Jacob and I ran up the stairs in lightning speed. I didn't care if I would pant later from how much energy it took out of me. I had to hurry.
"Jacob, here's his closet."
"Perfect, go in."
We both covered ourselves. We thought that Edward wouldn't mind if we messed up his closet a bit to save ourselves.
"Sapphira, you go in the back of the closet. You're human."
"You're a werewolf."
"Still, they'll kill you first if they want to kill us."
"Kill us? Why?"
"You're a human and you know the secret."
"You aren't human, why would they kill you?"
"I'm still not a vampire."
"Oh my gosh, I hear them. It sounds like Jane and Felix."
"How would you know?"
"Bella explains things good in her diaries. Very good."
"Okay, shhhhhh… let's listen."
Jane sounded angry, "I smell a human and a werewolf. I was in the area and smelled vampires, werewolves, and humans… in the same exact area."
"You know our daughter, Renesmee," Bella responded calmly.
"We smell something other than a half-human. It's a full human."
"That's unusual," Edward said.
"Do you think that this human might know the secret?"
"I do not believe it to be so, Jane," Edward responded.
"Enough with your foolishness, Felix and I will just check your household, then."
Bella finally admitted, and ruined the plan, "We cannot lie. My sister, Sapphira, has been staying here since Friday. She passed out on Saturday morning, and we were just taking care of her. She would never tell the secret, Jane, she's my sister."
"I would assume so, but dear, she needs to be turned into a vampire, otherwise killed."
"I was like that for a long time. She will never become a vampire, she doesn't want to."
"I guess that is alright for this time, Bella. So, why did she pass out?"
"Werewolf heat."
I looked at Jacob. He ignored me.
"Ah," Jane said. "I see. Does this werewolf know the secret?"
"Yeah, it's my friend, Jake."
"Interesting. I'm afraid that I will need to see them, though. To constrict the rules. Why is this werewolf here, anyhow?"
"He imprinted on my daughter, Renesmee."
"Stupid dog skills," she muttered.
"Yes, I assume," Bella said.
"Where are they?" Jane demanded.
"HIRA! JAKE! COME DOWN HERE!" Bella shouted.
"I guess that's us," I said.
"She really does like four letter nicknames."
"What do you mean?"
"Jake is four lettered, Hira is four lettered."
"Wow, Hira isn't even a word."
"I know. But it could be considered a name."
"You are starting to sound like Edward."
"Oh, that means I'm acting too smart."
"Exactly. So, what do you think that the Volturi will do to us?"
"Were you listening? They want to 'constrict the rules'."
"That's stupid."
"I know."
"Let's go."
When we got downstairs, Jane looked pleasant and happy. Felix, however, looked disappointed. He looked like he wanted to kill someone. I hope it wasn't me.
Felix's lips quivered at me. He looked like he would kill me and suck my blood. I couldn't take it. I would faint again, I knew it.
Jane resisted him, "Felix, stop," was all she said.
Felix stared at me, "Human. Blood."
Jane smiled at me crookedly, "I'm sorry, he likes blood."
"Jacob's right here you know, Felix," I tried to convince him.
Jacob hit me.
"Ow! I'm just saying, you are animal blood. Animal blood is better."
Jane looked at me, her hands on Felix's shoulders. "He hates animal blood, thanks for the offer."
"Why does he want to kill me? He's controlled, right?"
"He hasn't had blood in a while. He's also been around vampires for a while. You're his first human visit in months. He's thirsty."
"Can I get out of here?"
"I would, sweetie."
Felix growled at me. His eyes locked on me. He started to charge at me.
"Sapphira, grab my hand! Get on my back!" Edward yelled.
"Great, now I'm the one being hunted," I muttered.
"Bella, meet me in Seattle. Jacob, grab Renesmee and go with Bella. I'll meet you guys in a hotel room in Seattle, tell them to get in the room that is titled 'Edward'."
Jane looked apologetic. "Don't worry, he didn't hear anything that you said. He never does when he wants a human. I'll try to hold him back. But, sometimes, I can't, otherwise I'll get killed."
"Do your best!" Edward shouted, ramming down the door.
Bella and Jacob ran behind us, getting into the car as fast as possible. Bella waved to me, and yelled, "Good luck!"
