It took DR. Cullen half an hour to get here and the twins were too weak to do anything. Bella was feeding them bottles of blood mixed with milk, it was keeping them this strong, and I just hoped it would continue on even after it was all gone. They had finally taken on their human forms and both had bruises covering their bodies. Once they were fully humanized Renesmee held Jase in her arms and I held Nessie, they were so tiny, not once did either of them speak. I looked over at Sam and caught on to his thoughts...he thought Jase might make it but he wasn't so sure about Nessie. I scowled at him and he looked mortified and I smirked at that. I was getting good at blocking them from my mind and I was doing so now, I didn't want them to know how much I was attached to these kids.
Nessie kept pacing the room, sometimes going outside and shredding anything that got in her way, when she came back inside she would sit down next to me and we'd just hold the kids. Seth and Jacob hadn't moved, still confused and still dazed. I could tell Jacob and Edward were having a fight in their head I just wish I knew what it was about, and so did everyone else because when Dr. Cullen arrived him and Esme went straight into the kitchen with the twins and kicked everyone out, Ness yelled
"What the Hell are you two fighting about? I can feel you and all the emotions are hurting me, daddy please I'm going crazy as it is, I don't need you keeping things from me!" She was at his side now, holding his hand, trying to gather their conversation. I looked at Sam again, he was frowning. When I looked around I noticed everyone was frowning and I could tell I was being left out of the conversation. Ness ran to my side and asked
"What's wrong with them, what's..." she stopped and then she was turning red with anger, Jasper was quick to her side. Calming her, she was hurt and mad, and she was trying so hard not to rip Jake's head off. Once she was calm enough to speak again, eyes red, she said
"Everyone outside, its time that we got this out and on the table" we all knew she needed a distraction from all the commotion coming from the kitchen. The twins' blood was everywhere and the tearing of their skin was hard to miss when you have super hearing.
When everyone was outside in the clearing we froze, there was nothing left. Trees were thrown all over the place, flowers were ripped and shredded, blown everywhere from the wind. The grass was flat from all the walking and already starting to turn brown. We looked at her and she frowned,
"I guess we have another project ahead of us." I went to her and put a comfort arm around her. She would need all the help she could get, we all knew what happened when her anger truly took hold of her and there was no way we wanted it to happen again, especially since everyone knew that once she was a monster I wouldn't be far behind her. We were more connected than ever and it was as she was my true imprint.
"It's better than destroying hundreds of people!" she half smiled and dropped to the ground, I sat next to her, and one by one we all sat in a circle. I wanted her to start not knowing if I could. We sat there in silence, waiting and praying that the twins would be fine.
RPOV
Dad and Jacob were communicating and I could tell that whatever they were saying was hurting Jake. Daddy was getting mad and everyone was curious as to what was being said. I was already going crazy and this secret was adding to it.
"What the Hell are you two fighting about? I can feel you and all the emotions are hurting me, daddy please I'm going crazy as it is, I don't need you keeping things from me!" I almost screamed. As soon as I took hold of my father's hand I was included in the conversation, he was showing Jacob what happened after him and Seth left. Having this being shone to me from another person's point of view I was just about ready to explode. When I looked around me everyone was frowning, Leah was turning a little red.
"What's wrong with them, what's...?" I asked when I ran over to Leah. I thought she would know the answer but I was wrong, because once I touched her all I saw was black; the pack wasn't including her in their thoughts. This mad me even angrier. "Everyone outside, its time that we got this out and on the table" I couldn't stay there anymore. The thought of my kids bleeding in the other room made me sick, especially when it was so mouth watering. The tearing of the skin made me crave to rip HIM into shreds, I'd warn him not too come back, I told him to stay away. And now look what happened, Alice had disappeared, my kids were dying, and I was losing my control, for the third time. I looked at Jake and I had to know and I thought just maybe he should know as well, this was going to be an interesting day.
When everyone walked outside I could see and feel the disapproval from everyone. I had destroyed everything out here. I couldn't stop frowning, I was becoming an outsider again and I didn't want it to happen for the sake of my children.
"I guess we have another project ahead of us." I said feeling Leah putting her arm around me, trying to comfort me. I knew Leah wanted me to start, I could feel it off of her. I looked at Seth and said
"So how have you been, he feeding you?" I asked the question she wanted to know most. I had said the word he with such hatred I felt the sting hitting me too.
"Yeah, we've been ok, but it's been hard especially for Jacob since he imprinted. You should have seen him Ness, he was dead the whole time, of course I was dead too but I tried to live on!" he bowed his head, fighting a conversation with Jake. I could tell he didn't want me to know what he was like while they were away, but I also knew he wanted me to know that he never stopped loving me. I looked at him and growled, his head snapped up and he got my warning. If he wanted to say something then he had to say it himself. There were no secrets this time. I looked back at Seth and smiled.
"You look great. I'm glad your ok and I know your sister loves that. So what have you been doing this past year?" I asked that because I had to know, did he not want me anymore and didn't have the decency to tell me? Was that his intent? To love me then leave me to die, did he realize he imprinted on the wrong person? All these and many more question wanted to emerge, I had to hold them back with everything I had.
"Hunting, keeping watch, running, the usual; Renesmee, enough with the small talk, why don't you just ask us what happened that day!" That came from Jacob, I wanted to cry. His voice was the same, just harder than before. I wanted my old Jacob back and I wanted him this minute. I couldn't ask him that of course and I could feel the tears in my eyes.
"What happened the day of the fire?" It came from Leah, she looked at me and I knew she knew I couldn't do it. Jacob looked at my face, into my eyes, I was lost all over again, and I wanted so badly to go to him and tell him it was ok, but I couldn't, my pride would not allow it. He told the story as he did when he told any of his stories, our stories, with pride and honesty.
"I was sleeping and Seth was trying to cook breakfast, Billy had gone fishing with Charlie. I woke up to the smell of smoke so I went into the kitchen; Seth was trying to put out a small fire he had made. Apparently a pancake was on fire and he thought sticking a towel on it was going to stop it!" he stopped to laugh at the memory, we all looked at Seth and he felt embarrassed, blushing a little as he always did when we were talking about something he did. Seth was always the one to make us laugh; I couldn't help when a small giggle escaped through my lips. Everyone turned to look at me, it was the first time in a year that I had done something normal. I ignored them and slowly brought my gaze back to Jake and he continued "I went to get the extinguisher and when I came back the whole kitchen was on fire, Seth was unconscious and then so was I. All I remember was a blur moving from the corner of my eye, the next this is we woke up to the whole house on fire. A log was about to fall on Seth but I pulled him out of the way seconds before it fell. I dragged him outside where we saw trucks starting to arrive and I heard Ness coming. She had my bike; I'd left it with her when I went to see her the night before." He looked at me and I turned my head into Leah's shoulder, with him talking about the bike, it brought back what we had done that night and I didn't want anyone to know that I remembered.
*I had been home alone, everyone else had gone hunting and I didn't want to go. I had to finish packing my things because in two days I was moving in with the Blacks and my marriage to Jake was finally going to be complete. He knew I would be alone and decided to visit me, I was more than thrilled to have him keep me company, that night we had made passionate love, he was tender and loving while I was being aggressive and needy. He had filled my hunger with every ounce of his strength. Of course I wanted more but he promised that we had an eternity of together and that every night he would made love to me. Of course this just fueled me more and I got him to make love to me again. I had fallen asleep minutes after and when I awoke an hour later he was gone and my family was just arriving. I didn't even care that they would know what we had done; after all I was married to the man and would soon be living with him. About two hours later I remember waking up and going outside for some air. It was a nightly routine and that's when I spotted his bike, I laughed and decided to bring it to him. That's when daddy told me about the fire and I had hopped on the bike and raced down to La Push. There were fire trucks everywhere, hosing out the place, having my auntie Alice hold me back while they did their job, I couldn't believe it, I was going to lose my Jacob. I started shivering, my tears coming at me in waves.*
The memory faded and I realized I was biting Leah's shoulder and that she had witnessed my memory of that day. I pulled away from her and shuddered, I licked her wound and it healed instantly. She nodded at me and I knew I was forgiven as I was all the other times I did something. Whenever we were together and memories came, I would end up biting her shoulder in need of comfort. I had just now realized that I'd done this to Jake many times especially when we were making love, this made me cry more.
"Go on. She'll be fine, that was hard, as it was for all of us." It was Jared; he was always there for us, even when we didn't want him to be. I felt a hand in the crook of my back and I turned into the person. My head on his shoulder, hand between our chest, and his arms securely around my waist. It was a quiet for a few minutes before anyone spoke and when someone did it was Jake continuing the story
"We had gotten out the house in the back; I thought it would be kind of strange if we ended up wondering onto the front porch with barely a scratch. We waited in the woods, when we thought it was safe we snuck to the back of the house. We saw all of you standing in front of the house, holding on to one another's strength. We were crouched low, hiding behind a fallen beam, I would have come out but I couldn't, something held me back. I realized that it might be better if we didn't come back, especially when I found this letter." I turned to face Leah; Jake had given her a folded piece of paper. She opened it and read it out loud
"Boys, don't you ever think of going back home. If you do your precious wife and sister will be in danger, they need to move on and so do you. Ness belongs with me and Leah belongs to my brother. Stay away or the fire won't be the only accident for this family! Death comes knocking"
"What that hell does that mean?" I asked anger resurfacing once again. Jake held my hand and I felt calmer.
"It means that they had no choice but to stay away!" Leah said this and she went to her brother. I stood up with such quickness that Jake fell back. I kept shaking my head, I knew what it meant but he should have known to trust us more than this.
"You should have trusted us; we're not so weak as to let this scare us. I hate you Jacob Black!" I said and ran for the trees. I didn't know where I was going I just needed to get away. I could hear someone close on my heels, when I turned back I spotted my aunt Alice.
"Don't stop! Were in danger, keep running Ness, go all the way home." She said this to me and I felt another presence, it was scary but yet I could feel part of me knew who the threat was. I was going to stop but my uncle Jasper caught up to me and calmed my wanting and made me run. We ran through the trees, to the house, and never looked back.
