Chapter 4: Parents

Nessie's POV

I had never felt such a strong mix of emotions before. I now knew that my family was alive and that they were here. That made me very happy but very nervous at the same time. I didn't even know that was possible.

Would they want me to leave my current family? Could I leave them? Could I just leave the people I've called mom and dad all of my life? Could I leave my brother and sister? Could I leave Ellie?

Ellie whimpered as if she could hear what I was thinking. She placed one paw on my knee and looked at me with sad eyes. I rubbed her head carefully and kissed her nose. She licked my face a couple of times and I laughed. She had a way of putting me at ease. I didn't know how she did it but she always did. It was like she could sense my emotions more then anything.

I briefly wondered if my grandfather had even recognized me when I fell in front of his car. Did he recognize me as the little girl he used to call his granddaughter? If he did then why wasn't my family looking for me right now? I looked out my window and got my answer right away. Sunlight. That would keep my family away for at least a couple more hours.

They probably had a lot of questions for me. Number one being why I was here instead of with Jacob. When I thought of what Jacob did to me I became angry. He just abandoned me without a care in the world. I nearly died because of him. When that fire started I got so scared that I didn't know what to do. Then it spread so quickly that I got trapped. I probably could've used my super speed but I was so scared that I wasn't thinking. If Ellie hadn't found me I'd be dead. Ellie, a then five month old German Shepherd puppy had sensed me somehow and saved me from the building. She sure as hell was a much more loyal and caring dog then Jacob was.

"Come on Nessie! Let's go already!" Jennifer shouted at me.

"The movie doesn't start for three more hours!" I shouted back.

""Well duh! But we can get some shopping in if we leave right now!"

"Okay, okay fine! Just let me feed Ellie first"

"Let Ethan take care of that"

"Yeah last time I let Ethan take care of he forgot to feed her and give her water for two days. Not making that mistake again"

"Hey!" I heard him yell from across the hallway. "I've changed"

"Yeah umm hmm"

"Don't make me come get you!"

I ignored him as I went to feed Ellie. Five minutes later Jennifer and I were out of the house.

I managed to push away thoughts of my vampire family for the time being. Hopefully I wouldn't have anymore run ins with them today. I could only handle so much.

My sister pretty much dragged me throughout the mall. Why she was so eager to look at clothes she knew she couldn't afford was beyond me. She couldn't wait to turn 16 so she could get a job and start buying everything our parents refused to buy for her.

I actually did have a part time job working at Petco as a cashier. Got great discounts on dog supplies for Ellie and Dexter working there.

I was more into saving my money then going on spending sprees. Unlike my sister I didn't care about fashion. That was all her.

I literally walked right into someone. Someone with a rock hard and ice cold body. I was sure I'd have a bruise later.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention. I'll be more careful" I said to the woman. She was wearing sunglasses which was odd because we were inside of the store.

"Come on Nessie!" Jennifer says clearly irritated at my lack of urgency when it came to her shopping needs. She pulled me away urgently.

I looked back and when I did the woman lowered her sunglasses enough for me to see her golden eyes and to recognize the face of my mother Bella. I nearly broke down in tears. How I managed to keep it together was beyond me. I wanted to go throw my arms around my mother and here I was letting my sister drag me away.

I couldn't stop thinking about family now. Not after seeing Alice, almost getting run over by my grandfather, and now literally running into my mom. Seeing Breaking Dawn Part 2 at the movies certainly didn't help at all. No matter how many times I see these movies seeing exact replicas of you and your family does things to your family.

After the movie Jennifer was going to go spend the night at a friend's house so I dropped her off before heading home. Ethan had gone to a friend's house and mom and dad were out on a date night so for now it was just me.

Ellie yelped as she stood up slowly and began to follow me. She yelped some more but she was still determined to follow me no matter how much I wished that she'd just stay put. It hurt me to see her in pain. I sighed and went to the kitchen to give her her medicine again.

She followed me up to my room a few minutes later once the medicine kicked in.

I nearly had a heart attack when I entered my room for as soon as I turned on the light because for the first time in 13 years I was face to face with my vampire parents. I finally broke down in tears.
