Nessie POV
No one would tell me what was going on. I had a feeling that Alice saw a vision that included me and possibly Jacob, though it was hard for her to see the two of us.
My mother said that I was going to sleep at the big Cullen mansion for the next few days. Since my parents' cottage was way too close to the area where Jacob and I were at during the scary incident, they wanted to keep an eye on me.
Especially my father. He looked terrified. Not even Jasper could keep him relaxed. Every now and then he would glance at me, giving me this look that scared me. His face would turn into one of pain, and then he would look away.
I wanted to know what was going on. What was going to happen? What did Alice see? Was everyone going to be okay? What about me? And…
Jacob?
I had so many questions that I wanted answers to. Every time I asked, no one would answer. They would just look at me sadly and tell me that now was not the time.
***
I woke up the next morning to my mother perched on the side of my bed. I was going to be sleeping in my father's old room for the next few nights.
I sat crossed-legged in the bed and took her hands in mine. I showed her in my mind all the things I wanted to know.
When I was done, she kept her eyes fixed on my hands, playing with them with her fingers.
"Renesmee, I can't tell you…not now. Alice is still having a hard time with the visions. They aren't very clear."
I still knew something was wrong. She was keeping something from me.
"I know there's something that you know…Why won't you tell me? If it wasn't so serious, then why are you keeping me here for the next few days?"
She turned her face to me, looking sad and just like my father, scared.
"Ness, if I told you, you would worry…and I don't want you to."
"I'm sure I can handle it. Please tell me…please. You're already making me worried because I have no clue what's going on!" I begged.
She sighed, a stern look on her face. "Get dressed, come downstairs, and we'll explain."
I nodded. I did as I was told. I dressed as quickly as I could and hurried down the stairs, where I saw my parents, Alice, Carlisle, and Esme waiting for me in the dining room.
I sat down across from them. I was curious. I wanted to know everything.
A minute passed and I sighed. "Okay, will you please tell me what's wrong?"
Alice started. "Ness, yesterday, out on the porch after you and Jacob ran back from the river…I had a vision… I think it was about Nahuel…"
My eyes went wide, please tell me he didn't get hurt.
She continued. "There were bodies, everywhere. Smoke was up in the air...and blood…"
No…No.. Nahuel…not Nahuel!
"It was where Nahuel lived I'm sure of it. I can't see the visions very clearly though, and we fear that you may be a part of it."
I sat there, my mind racing…full of questions. Nahuel was a really good friend. Knowing that he was hurt or even killed would crush me.
A few minutes passed. I finally got the courage to ask the most horrifying question I was hoping I would never have had to ask.
"When…does this happen? Has it happened already?"
She looked at me sadly. "Yes, I have a feeling that it has. And that whoever did this to them is coming for you…"
I stared at her. Shocked. Why would they want me? Did I ever do anything wrong? When were they coming?
My father took my hands in his. No one will hurt you, put a finger on you, or even get near you." He said sternly.
I looked down at the table. I tried very hard not to cry. Why Nahuel? Why? What did he ever do?"
But Alice wasn't absolutely positive if Nahuel was one of those bodies. I shuddered, shaking the thought away, not wanting to think that way. I wanted to believe that Nahuel was still alive.
We got up from the table and my I ran over to my parents. I hugged them tight. I didn't want the worst that was possible to come.
I had the feeling that something was going to happen. Something bad…and it was going to happen
very soon.
Jacob POV
I was going to be on patrol all day. The whole wolf pack was out looking for this vamp. Tracing the scent. Looking for any signs of anything unusual.
Alice told me what she saw. I felt bad for Nessie. It was one of her really close friends that was possibly one of those burning bodies that Alice saw in her vision.
But the other vision Alice had made the hair stand up on my back and my stomach twist into knots. She said Nessie was lying on the ground covered in blood, a dark figure looming above her, her face twisted into pain…
I had to stop thinking about that. It got me all worked up and anxious to see Nessie. I don't know what I would do if she wasn't in my world. She is my life, I will do anything to keep her safe.
"Jacob!" An urgent voice came to my mind.
It was Paul's voice.
"Jacob! We caught a scent! Its near the cottage."
"I'm coming, just stay put."
I sped through the forest, picking up the speed until I caught the scent.
It was fresh.
"They're here. The scent is still fresh." I said urgently.
I traced the scent. It was moving around almost like the vampire was going in a circle. It went in the direction of the cottage. I sighed. Thank god Ness would be sleeping in the Cullen mansion for awhile.
The scent became harder to track. It was fading.
I became frustrated. I wanted to find this stupid bloodsucker and kill him before he tries to put his hands on her.
I met up with Paul, who was also with Jared and Seth.
"I lost it, It only goes to the cottage."
"Same here." Paul replied.
"Well that means that they were there. And I'm sure they were looking for someone in particular…." I said, my teeth clenched, letting out a low growl.
"Jacob, we'll catch this punk before he can reach her." Jared added.
"He'll have to go through me first." I spat.
I decided to go check out the Canadian border with Seth to see if we could catch the scent there. I had a feeling that this vamp knew we were looking for him, but that we didn't scare him away.
What if there was more than one?
Nessie POV
The day turned to night, and nothing happened. The only thing that was reported back to my father and Carlisle was that the unknown vampire scent was traced to the cottage. I was sure that someone was out there looking for someone in particular…
Me.
Jacob wasn't going to be back for a few more hours. He went with Seth up to the Canadian border to see if they could catch any scent. I wanted to see him. It made me nervous to know that he was out there. What if something happened to him? To Seth?
I was being kept on lockdown after the news of the scent came in. I wasn't allowed to step one foot out of the house. I always had someone watching me, even when I was sleeping. I was never alone. Only when I needed to use the bathroom.
I was just going to have to deal with it. What bugged me was not knowing how long this whole ordeal would last.
Alice was having more visions. She told me they still weren't very clear, and in a way confusing. She couldn't piece it together, and she told me she was getting "headaches" from being so frustrated that she couldn't see anything.
I sat down at the bar in the kitchen. My "babysitter" for the next few hours was Rosalie. She walked around towards the stove.
"Have you had anything to eat today?" she asked.
I wasn't hungry. I was too worried to think about eating.
"No thanks Rose, I lost my appetite."
She looked at me grimly. "Renesmee, I will sit here and watch you eat every single bite of this spaghetti that I'm about to make you. I know your worried Ness, but until Alice sets her visions straight there's nothing we can do." She said reassuringly.
I looked up and nodded. I wanted to make sure that Nahuel was okay. I sighed.
I sat there, twiddling my fingers. My thoughts racing.
Suddenly Jasper came from behind me and set his hands on my shoulders. I felt a sudden wave of relief and relaxation.
"Calm down, Ness. I can feel your anxiety from all the way upstairs. I'm afraid you'll have an anxiety attack any minute."
I gave him a weak smile. "Sorry. Has Alice seen anything else yet?"
He sighed, frustrated. "Nope, nothing."
Not knowing made me anxious. I was curious, scared, and fearful of what was to come.
I picked at my spaghetti, not really hungry, but eating just to make Rose happy. I behaved as best as I could to keep everyone from having to stress over me.
When I finished, I glanced at the clock by the door. It was 9:57.
Jacob probably wasn't going to be back anytime soon, so to make time pass I decided that trying to get some sleep would help. I didn't sleep well the night before.
I layed down, trying to clear my head and think of nothing.
I was just about to fall unconscious when Rosalie jumped up from her chair.
I jumped upright. "What Rose?! What! Is someone here?"
Her mouth was open. She was frozen in shock.
She was looking out the window, and across from the house, Nahuel was running, limping along the way. There was someone else with him, a girl.
I ran out of my room towards the back door. Nahuel was alive! He's okay!
"Nahuel! I screamed. You're alright!"
I jogged over to him, putting an arm around one of his shoulders. Though it was dark, I could see that he was covered in blood. His ankle was sprained, and his right arm was broken.
I helped him towards the house, where my parents and Carlisle where setting up medical equipment.
As soon as we came in the house I could finally see them.
They looked horrible. Their clothes were tattered and blood covered Nauhel's body. He had cuts everywhere. The girl wasn't as bad, but she suffered from a few cuts and a broken wrist.
"Give him some space." Carlisle ordered. Everyone was crowding around the hospital cot where Nauhel was laying.
Nahuel kept his eyes fixed on me. He looked terrified. I cringed, not wanting to know what he just went through, but probably guessing what had happened to him.
After awhile I walked over to him and held his hand, while taking a damp cloth and helping Carlisle clean up the cuts. I looked deep into his eyes. "What happened?"
He hesitated. Everyone gathered around.
"This is my sister, Aliana." He raised his hand weakly at the girl that my father was tending to.
"There was an attack made by the Volturi. They came and killed most of my family. Some of us escaped, but I'm not sure if there's anyone still alive." He said sadly.
As soon as he said Volturi, everyone gasped.
"They came to kill us because supposedly there is some kind of…prophecy."
"And what does this…prophecy state?" Carlisle asked eagerly.
He hesitated again, "There was a Volturi guard. A seeker as they call him. Before they made their attack on us… he said this,
If a son of the moon
and a daughter of the light
come together to reproduce,
then the creatures of the world will take flight
the child will not refrain
the world will be in vain
and the existence of the innocent will be no longer."
The whole room was silent.
I felt everyone's eyes on me.
"I can't believe Aro would let something like this happen." Esme said, deeply saddened.
"Caius did most of the talking, though. I know he is not happy with the existence of half vampires."
"Didn't you try to stop them? Did you know they were coming?" My mother asked.
"No, it just happened. We tried to reason with them, to keep peace between us, but they attacked anyways. I was attacked by one of the Volturi guards, but my sister came and saved me, and this was the only place I could think of coming to. I had to warn you, for Renesmee's safety."
"But I'm with Jacob. He's a shape-shifter. They wouldn't try to kill him."
"Renesmee," He replied weakly. "You never know. It's the Volturi. They will do anything, come up with any excuse, just to kill you."
What he said was true. I couldn't take any risks when it came down to the Volturi.
" Alice has been having visions, but they have been too foggy for her to see." My mother replied.
"Well, now that we have this information, we can plan ahead." Carlisle said.
"You don't have much time. I'd say that you get as many people as possible on your side. It will be to your advantage."
As soon as Nahuel and Aliana were taken care of, Carlisle moved them to the guest room to let them get some sleep. Soon phone calls were being made to our vampire friends and plans were being made for my safety.
My father, mother, Carlisle, Jasper, and Alice were all in the living room, making plans for anything that could possibly happen.
There was only one thing for sure…
"If I have to run, I'm not leaving without Jacob." I said aloud over their heated conversation.
They stopped and turned to me.
"I can't stand to see him get hurt. I couldn't stand to see anyone hurt, but… I can't leave without Jacob." I begged them.
"You…you do understand that…don't you?"
My mother ran up to me. "Of, course Renesmee, I would have sent Jacob with you anyways. You two are inseparable now." She replied, then she hugged me tightly.
I let the tears start falling, because I was sure that the worst possible was to come.
Please Review!
Does the prophecy thing sound good? because I really want to know what you think about it :)
