Chapter 2: The Talk with Carlisle
BPOV
My body shook and my throat burned as I watched the leaves dance in the wind. Even with the pale moonlight I could see them. They looked beautiful, but their beauty did not compare to her. I growled at my thoughts and tried to push them from my mind but I couldn't. For some reason Renesmee was all I could think about. The only other person who was on my mind was Jasper. I felt terrible for what I was putting him through. Just like me, he had to be locked up in his room so that way no humans would be harmed. Right now Jasper and I were a danger to Forks and it was all my fault. I felt ashamed but Edward said it couldn't be helped. He thinks that there is a singer out there for every vampire. But I was happy with Edward so what was I going to do now? I couldn't leave him for Renesmee and plus she had Jacob protecting her so she wasn't in any danger. In my mind there was only one option and I couldn't bring myself to do it or to even think about it. Plus if I went with this option, I would be dead long before Renesmee would be. As I walked away from the window to the bed Edward and I shared, Renesmee's scent filled my nose and flashes of her face and smile danced across my mind. My throat started to burn even more as I thought about her. I quickly tried to redirect my thoughts but nothing worked. Suddenly a new scent entered our house. I took a big whiff and snarled quietly. It was just Jacob. He'd come by the house everyday for the past two weeks to make sure I was still locked up in my room. I started to pace as I listened in on my family downstairs. I recognized all of their footsteps. It was the same pattern every time Jacob came by. First Carlisle would answer the door then Jacob would walk right into the kitchen, Carlisle right behind him. Once they were in the kitchen Edward would walk over to Jacob and shake his hand. He was probably glaring at him to but I didn't know. Rosalie would sit by the back door with Alice and Esme. Only when the silence was too much to bear would I hear Emmett's booming laughter coming from the living room. I smiled then thinking he did this for me and Jasper, knowing that we could hear everything and that we were suffering more than anyone else in the house. I listened carefully as two new footsteps entered the house. One was soft, like a humans and the other set of footsteps I heard were just like Jacob, rough and fast. Normally I would read while I listened to everyone's footsteps but because of the two new people that just entered the house I was intrigued. I wanted to know more. So I listened in on their conversation. The first thing I heard was a sigh from Carlisle and then his footsteps followed by Jacob and the two new people. The next thing I heard was Edward snarling so loud the whole house went silent. The only other thing I could hear besides Edward was three heartbeats and a small wolf like growl probably coming from Jacob. Why was Edward acting so defensive? He was acting like Jacob had done something morally wrong.
"Why did you bring her here Jacob? Do you want to get her killed?!" Edward yelled. I was confused. Who was he talking about? All I could smell was Jacob. I took another whiff and that's when I smelled her. I held my breath and closed my eyes. Jacob brought Renesmee with him to the house. And I'm guessing that the other set of footsteps I heard was another one of the werewolves. I tried to listen in on their conversation again but all I could think about was Renesmee. Her face and scent were stuck in my mind. And the option of killing her also flowed into my mind. I had to get away from here and I had to do it now. That's when I heard Alice.
"Carlisle why don't you meet Bella outside, she's going to jump out the window and I think you're the only one who can calm her down right now." Alice said. I whispered thank you and opened the window. I jumped out the window and ran towards the forest. I needed to hunt before I killed her. Carlisle followed me and let me drink my fill before saying anything.
"How do you feel Bella?" He asked. I shook my head and threw the deer's corpse as far as I could.
"Like I want to bite into her neck and drink her of all of her blood." I replied. He nodded and looked down at the ground.
"I think you should stay with Tanya for awhile Bella…until Edward and I can sort this out with the wolves, right now it's not looking so great." Carlisle said. I nodded and smiled. If I went to Alaska then my family wouldn't suffer and Renesmee would be safe. I don't know why but I had this motherly feeling towards her. I just wanted her to be safe. I smiled as I looked towards the north. It was time for me to go.
"Tell everybody I said goodbye, tell Edward that I love him, and tell Jacob that I'm sorry." I said. Carlisle nodded and ran back towards the house while I ran towards the north. Alaska here I come.
