A/N:
Hey guys so here is chap 6 :) I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know what you think :) I will try for an update by tues next week :)
The blackness faded and I began to dream. The same faces that I had seen before filled my mind but this time there was a difference. It stayed with me longer and it felt so real as if it were a memory. I saw myself being cradled as she whispered in my ear. I wanted so badly for it to be real.
"My beautiful Renesmee." She murmured "Do you know how grateful I am that I fought so hard for you."
I had the feeling of being carried in gentle arms. Then I was placed in a soft bed.
"Sweet dreams my Nessie." She said as she kissed my forehead.
I felt a different pair of hands stroke my face then.
My eyes opened as I looked into his warm, golden eyes.
I woke up with a start.
Nessie the name filled every part of my mind. That must be who I really was. He had been lying to me all along. The last thing I remembered before everything faded was eating with him. He had slipped something in my food, which was clear to me now. I kept silent as I heard murmured conversation close outside my door.
"She is becoming suspicious. We won't be able to delay her for too much longer."
It sounded like Nahuel's voice.
"You were the one that asked for our help to bring her here. You deal with it."
"What do you expect me to do?"
"I don't know; try to gain her trust again."
"How can I do that?"
"You are in love with the girl, I am sure you will figure something out."
I heard a sigh and then the door to the room I was in opened slightly. I lay back down again and I pretended to still be asleep.
"Carlie are you awake?"
I twisted around
"Yes sort of." I said feigning a yawn.
"How are you feeling?" he asked anxiously.
"I feel like I was knocked out, what happened to me?"
"You passed out on me and I have been so worried about you."
Yes I am sure he had been beside himself. The only thing that concerned him was if I somehow I managed to escape. He was the worst out of all of them. I had thought of him as a kind and gentle person, but now I knew that he was the one who had bought me here and was keeping me with him. I felt a hatred towards him which filled my entire body. I would play my part though. There was a whole lot that I had to say to him.
"Yes it was so strange, one minute I was feeling fine and then the next thing it all went black."
"Yes I know it was weird. Would you like to get some fresh air?
"Yes I think that is exactly what I need." I said getting to my feet.
"Here are a change of clothes for you, which I am sure you would appreciate." He said handing me a pair of jeans and a lacy blue top. As he waited outside while I changed I wondered what the best way was for me to approach Nahuel, about what I knew. I wanted to confront him and force some form of the truth out of him. Then I was going to get the hell out of here. He owed me the truth and he was going to tell me.
As I walked out in the new clothes, Nahuel smiled at me.
"You look lovely." He complimented me.
I resisted the urge to slap him.
"Yes thanks for the outfit."
"No problem I am glad they were the right fit."
"So where would you like to go?"
"How about the beautiful place that you showed me yesterday? It is so peaceful there."
"Sure, that sounds great."
I was silent on the way there; I stared out at the ocean wondering where the people were from my dreams, who I knew deep down really loved me. It didn't take as long to reach the garden as it had the previous day. I felt stick to my stomach. This place had lost its magic for me now. It was tainted by what he had done. This whole place was a prison for me now.
"You are very quiet today." He mused.
"I was just wondering about a few things."
"Oh such as?"
"That girls name that you called me by accident. Tell me more about her?"
His eyes narrowed and he reacted just as I thought he would.
"That is hard for me to talk about."
"Why don't you try?" I pressed.
"Well she is someone that I fell in love with but it didn't work out with the two of us."
"What happened between the two of you?"
"Please, I can't bear talking about this?"
"Why, has the lying is becoming too much for you?"
"What are you talking about?"
I glared at him and his face hardened in response to the expression on my face.
"Cat got your tongue?" I mocked.
"No I just don't know why you are so angry all of a sudden."
I growled in frustration.
"Cut the crap and try being honest with me." I spat.
I felt murderous rage burn through me at the boy who I had thought was my friend. Here he was still denying that he knew anything and claiming complete innocence. I walked towards him and grabbed his shoulders. Visions of what I felt like doing to him right now, flashed through my mind. He wriggled out of my grasp. I was at breaking point.
"What was that?" he gasped.
I couldn't make sense of his suddenly shocked outburst.
"What do you mean? I didn't even leave a mark." I said grudgingly wishing that I had.
"I wasn't thinking of that. I saw visions of you punching me and I could feel your rage."
"You just saw what I was thinking?" I said my rage momentarily stopped in its tracks.
"Yes it was as if you were putting the visions in my head."
"How could I have done that though? Have you ever heard a person's thoughts before?"
"No never, I have no idea what just happened."
I was just as confused as he was, but I wouldn't let him get distracted and change the subject.
"Nahuel please just tell me everything. I heard your conversation this morning."
He stared at me for a long time and I wondered what he was thinking.
"You won't like me very much after I tell you what you want to know."
"I already don't like you very much after what you have done to me and my family. Maybe you can redeem yourself with a little honesty."
He took a deep breath as I waited with my eyebrows raised.
"I don't know where to even start." His voice was barely more than a soft murmur.
"Try from the beginning, is my name Nessie?"
"Yes well Renesmee, Nessie is more of a nickname that they call you."
"They?" I asked pursing my lips in a tight line.
"Your family."
"So I do have a family?" I said with fierce hope in my face, though deep down I think I had known all along. It was their faces that I kept seeing in my mind as if they were trying to tell me that they weren't giving up on me.
"Yes you lived with the biggest coven apart from the Volturi."
I picked out the unfamiliar word.
"Are the Volturi the ones that stay here?"
"Yes they are?"
"Are you one of them?"
"No of course I am not."
"Well it certainly seems like you are. Tell me more about my family?"
"Well your mother Bella carried you while she was human and somehow your father, Edward, managed to save her. Your mother is a vampire now too."
"How did my father manage with the scent of her blood if she was human?" I wondered as I recalled the scent of blood that had overcome me yesterday.
"Your family lives differently than other vampires. They do not prey on human blood, they hunt animals instead."
I took this all in; there was a whole different life that I had lived. It bought back my anger to the surface again.
"Where are they now? How can I not remember them? Why did you do this?" I shot the questions at him like bullets.
"They live in Forks, Washington in the USA. You don't remember them because of this drug that we gave you which tampers with the memory. I can't tell you why. All I can say is that I can't explain how sometimes when you want something so much; it drives you to do things that you would never have guessed of yourself. It was the irrational side of me."
"I can't believe that you would do this."
"Well you can't hate me more than I already hate myself."
"Oh I wouldn't count on that."
The truth was as much as I wanted to hate him I felt pity for him overwhelm me. I couldn't over look what he had done to me and my family but I could see that in some odd way he did care about me. He had just made some really stupid choices.
Just then I watched his eyes widen in horror but before I could react I felt arms grab me from behind.
"You are coming with me." Jane murmured her voice like ice.
I froze.
"No please don't hurt her."
"Nahuel in case you don't remember, Aro told you that she was not to be so well informed as yet."
"Yes you did." He conceded "but this ends now."
"That decision does not lie with some half breed. We will decide when this ends."
"How dare you." I shouted in her face as twisted around. "I will be going back to my family."
"Poor deluded girl, where are your Mother and Father now? I don't see them around here. Either they are dead or they were glad to get rid of you."
I tried to lift my hand to slap that cruel smirk off her face but she gripped them too tightly. Nahuel lunged for her though but before he reached her he was on the ground. I felt sick as I watched this. It seemed as if he was in severe pain, I couldn't bear it."
"Stop it please." I begged.
"How about we give you a little taste of what I can do?" Jane chuckled evilly.
Then my whole body was on fire but I couldn't move away from the burn. The fire went through my whole body; it felt as if every part of my body were being charred alive piece by piece. The fire got hotter and hotter. As abruptly as it started it ended. I gasped as I fought for control again.
"You will not harm her." Nahuel growled menacingly.
"Wow look at the pot calling the kettle black." She sneered "Don't act all angelic here."
Jane's ruby eyes widened as she continued to glare at me. Why wasn't I burning?
"It seems as if you have been keeping secrets from us. Aro will be so interested to hear all about that."
Jane yanked my arm and pulled me away from the garden. I guessed that she was taking us to them.
I wondered what Jane was talking about, when she said that Nahuel had been keeping secrets. I had thought that I was the only one he had been lying to but then I remembered what he had said about a talent that he had been keeping from Aro and the others. Did that have something to do with why I had suddenly stopped burning from Jane's attack?
My heart started beating against my ribs as we drew nearer the castle where guaranteed the rest of the Volturi would be waiting for us. I wondered what they were going to do with us now. Nahuel had put himself in danger in his attempt to protect me. I wondered if I would ever get the chance to see my family again. I had no clue what was going to happen now. I just hoped that wherever they were that somehow they would know my last thoughts would be of them.
