I am sooooooooooooo incredibly sorry, guys! I had every intention to type more yesterday morning, but.........sadly, I got sidetracked. Two words: Naruto Shippuden. Those of you who know what I'm talking about will fully understand me. Long story short, I started a series of episodes of that on Tuesday night, and then it made me absolutely need to know more, so I spent yesterday morning, after school, this morning, and until quite recently watching more and more. But now I'm all caught up to the episodes, so I'll return to typing regularly. And, just to make it up to you guys, I'm gonna be updating a whole bunch tonight.
And so, here I begin!
Chapter 7
Cullens
Edward: -rubs temples- Nessie, I've been pouring over these -gestures at papers strewn across the desk- for hours. There is no alternate way.
Nessie: So.......what's happening?
Edward: (To be honest, I was expecting a little more anger.) Well, since we haven't had any suicidal vamps call us, -only half joking- I have no clue.
Nessie: (I'm seriously lost here, though. XD) Oh. Then I'll do it, like I said yesterday.
Edward: (How are you lost?) NO! I TOLD YOU NO! -puts fist through wall behind him-
Nessie: (I was at first. I figured it out by now, but I didn't quite know what you were talking about.) -stares at him- Dad. I'm old enough by now to make my own decisions, and this is what I want to do. -voice fairly calm, but shakes a little-
Edward: So you die to free your son, therefore never seeing him again. Gee, that makes perfect sense. -shakes head incredulously-
Nessie: Well, he'd be free, and Seth would be happy. Besides, Rhys doesn't exactly need me anymore.
Edward: NO, NO, NO, AND NO.
Nessie: Do you have any other ideas, then? Anything else that would kill Mathieu and save Rhys?
Edward: -sarcastic- A meteor.
Nessie: -eyeroll- My point exactly.
Edward: You do it, and the entire family walks out into the sun of Volterra.
Nessie: So, what, you'd rather just let Rhys stay there and be brainwashed for the rest of his life? And keep Seth all depressed forever?
Edward: Fuck, Renesmee, you know I don't want that.
Nessie: Well, I don't hear you making any other suggestions.
Edward: -livid- I need to leave. -leaps out window-
Nessie: -blinks- Damn..........now what?
Seth: -comes in- Hey, Nessie. Where's Edward?
Nessie: -points out window-
Seth: ......did either of you come up with any solutions?
Nessie: -shakes her head- Dad won't let me drain Mathieu's blood. He says that if I do, then he and the rest of the family will pretty much get themselves killed.
Seth: Ouch.
Nessie: -sighs- I'm sorry, Seth. I tried.
Edward: -back- I.....I'm sorry.
Nessie: -sighs again- Well, we need an idea. And soon.
Seth: We need a goddamn volunteer.
Edward: -silent- .... I'll do it.
Seth: .............
Nessie: NO! NONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!
Edward: Seth?
Seth: I....I don't know what to think.
Nessie: SETH!!! Don't you DARE let him do this!!!
Edward: Seth?
Nessie: Seth, please!!!
Seth: You'd really do it, Edward?
Edward: Yes.
Nessie:NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!! NO, DADDY, YOU CAN'T!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!! -bursts into tears-
Seth: -just staring at her-
Edward: (GAH! DAMN YOU, YOU LITTL LYING- Waaait. You didn't lie. ...Ugh!) .....
Nessie: (XD Lol Phantom reference.) No......just don't. Please.......
Seth: -bites his lip and looks at Edward- Are you still willing to?
Edward: You know, Nessie, you're breaking my non-existant heart. ........Yes, Seth, I am.
Seth: Well, then, let's get over to Italy and get this done!
Nessie: SETH! You're seriously selfish enough that you'd prefer for Rhys to be back, even if it means that my daddy would be killed in the process?!?!
Edward: -quietly slips out of room-
Seth: Don't you want Rhys back?
Nessie: OF COURSE I DO!!! HE'S MY SON, SETH!! BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN I WANT MY DAD TO DIE TO SAVE HIM!!!!
Seth: Yet you were willing to die?
Nessie: THAT'S DIFFERENT!!! -attacks him-
Seth: -dodges- Ness, calm down.
Nessie: SHUT UP!!! -attacks him again, hitting him this time-
Edward: -walks back in- Nessie.
Nessie: -doesn't hear him, too busy fighting with Seth-
Seth: -trying to get her off-
Edward: -picks Nessie up, leaves with her-
Nessie: -fighting against Edward as he carries her off-
Seth: -just stares at the door, watching them leave-
Alright! I'm getting somewhere now! Kay, so here's the deal: quite a few of the upcoming chapters will be very short, either because we wrote them in the morning and at lunch, not giving us much time, or because Sean and I had a magical time freeze that I can't type up due to its plot spoiling-ness. I'm also not going to be saying much of anything (if anything at all) in the author's notes for the next few chapters, as I'll be trying to get them typed and updated as quickly as I can. That being said, I'll shut up now and get on with the next chapter. Review!
