Chapter 7
AN: Heres chapter 7 of Approaching Normal… bout time eh? :)
When I finished putting my old clothes on I was surprised to find that they were old, and worn as if they had been used or washed over and over. Kayu was standing, still awkward, next to my mother in the backyard trying her hardest to be polite yet distant. Mom ran over to me and hugged me again clearing the. Hugging her back I heard shuffling up on the porch. The ageless blond in a medical suit was staring at us with an expression of pure love.
'I missed you.' Was all that would come out of my mouth. We stood there in each other's embrace for what seemed like two seconds before Carlisle cleared his throat. He motioned us to come in. the house had been remodeled since the last time I was here. The house was painted beige with white columns holding the overhang in the back yard. My room untouched by time. Concrete stairs lined the back porch where one chair laid forever still. And the last thing I saw before I walked into the dining room was the tree that had L&K on the front but what I noticed about it was that it was vigorously crossed out.
"Not that I haven't missed you Carlisle but… why are you here?" My mom and he exchanged a glance.
"Everyone came to visit since we were going to be moving farther away but Renesmee wanted me to come down instead of your grandparents and we have yet to discuss that matter." He looked questionably at her as did I. It seemed she had a lot of explaining to do.
"Um, well before we get into that stuff, I was wondering if you wanted to meet my… uh… acquaintance, Kayu." I motioned at Kayu and looked at her nervous eyes before noticing the blush that colored her face. Carlisle and my mom were both happy at seeing her but Carlisle's face fell when she turned pale suddenly. She started to sag and before anyone knew it I caught her fall. Lifting her light body, I took her to the couch at the end of the hall in the living room and set her down lightly. If she was sick I should have paid more attention to her. What could possibly cause this that I couldn't pay one speck of attention to her? I should've-
"Logan she's going to be okay, don't worry she just had too much to handle. I'm not particularly sure as to what caused her mind to shut down but you might have a better understanding." Carlisle was always good at reassuring people. I wanted more information, more words of comfort, something, anything that would allow Kayu to get better and now.
"Damnit! Where is she? Where is my DAUGHTER?" I heard faintly in the southern direction of the house. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER YOU…?" I blocked out the rest of his cursing dreading the coming confrontation.
"Who is that?" I heard Carlisle and my mom ask at the same time.
"Uh, well, someone who is very upset and should not be here…" I replied stupidly.
"Kayu, Kayu, come on, your father is here and he's going to rip me into shreds if you don't tell him the truth, come on, please! I need you awake! Kayu!" Towards the end of my plea I couldn't help but feel excited to finally get a chance to really defend her without her having to interfere. I filled my lungs with as much oxygen as I could and slowly walked outside to meet with the over-reactive dad.
"Logan." I heard behind me.
"Logan." She repeated.
"LOGAN!" She yelled.
"No you don't! I don't want you to get hurt! I'm not able to keep you here because of your new sibling but I need you to stay. Please… for me?" I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to see my mom's tear covered red face with Carlisle holding her back lightly with the same amount of shock on his face that was on mine.
"I'll be okay, don't worry Renesmee, I'll be back…we'll be back." I said reassuring both of us. Before my resolve could crumble I ran outside leaving my mom frozen. I didn't see him until I ran for over a courter of a mile in the direction of his voice.
"Vlad! She's okay! I didn't do anything to her! She's just resting!" I yelled before I reached him. Vlad darted towards me and threw me up against a tree with his hand on my neck. I choked out the next words almost uncomprehendingly.
"Can't- Breathe- your making- a-" He growled forcing me to stop. He let go and I dropped to the ground hard. I had no fight because I didn't want one, I was on defense. All I could think of was Kayu. Her face when she smiled, her laugh, even her anger. I smiled to myself through the pain. I couldn't feel my left arm or my lower ribs. His fist collided with my jaw and I let out a silent cry.
My hands instinctively guarded my vital organs and face but they did nothing when you were defending against a full blown pissed off vampire.
The last thing I thought before I saw black was Kayu's face. I love you.
