9. Taken
The months quickly passed by now that I was back with everyone. Winter turned into spring and the spring quickly led into the summer months. It was now mid-June and school was just about to end for me. I had just finished getting ready for school when Aunt Alice appeared, dying to show me an ivory colored pattern she had picked out for my dress. The fabric was satin and had flowered patterns in various parts of it. She showed me and exact drawing of how it will look she had seen it in a vision the night before and was extremely excited about showing it to me.
"Aunt Alice, you do realize I'm not getting married yet?" I questioned her. She smiled at me with one of her devilish grins.
"That's what you think honey, give it a few months, it's going to be a fall wedding" she smirked.
"Dad would never… wait I'm not even going to question you" I laughed realizing I should never question the psychic.
"Nessie honey you have … oh Alice sorry didn't realize you were in here" it was my Mom telling me to get ready for school I was aloud to drive my Volvo now it was quite exciting.
"That's okay just showing her this amazing dress pattern I picked out" she had a huge smile on her face.
"Oh Alice… starting already?"
"Oh don't you worry it's sooner than you think Ms. Bella" she stated.
"Have fun at school Ness we'll chat later" she smirked and bounced out of the room.
"Your Aunt goes way over board with these things, I hope you know what you are getting yourself into" Mom laughed.
"Yes mom I know, but it should be fun"
"You definitely aren't my child" she put her arms around me as I walked over to her.
"Bye Mom, see you later I only have two tests today so I was thinking of going to Jake's after school is that okay?" I looked for her approval.
"Perfectly fine" she noted. I grabbed my backpack that was by the door and headed out to school. I had only been able to drive my Volvo in April, I had to past my road test first, which I did first try big shocker. I placed my bag on the passenger seat and shut the door. Dad had installed an awesome CD player I placed in some classical music that Dad had let me borrow. When I arrived at school the parking lot was pretty bare, most of the seniors had finished their testing, so it was just mainly the juniors and sophomores, freshman were lucky and didn't have to take as many exams. I stepped out of the car, Melissa was waving at me. We had gotten closer in the past few months.
"Hey Nessie ready for your tests?" she questioned.
"Yeah I'm feeling pretty good about all of them"
"Your coming to Jess and Mike's wedding in a few weeks right?"
"Of course, you guys will finally get to meet Jacob" I smiled at the thought.
"Oh … can't wait… listen I got to run catch up with you later?" she questioned. I nodded and she ran off towards the building. I took my time walking in I had my English final and History. English was a breeze I was done with the test in less than 35 minutes. Before I headed into my History class I decided to drop off most of my books at my car, I had my headphones in and wasn't paying too much close attention until I got a few inches away. Someone in a black cloak was standing by my car checking it out my heart skipped a few beats.
"Excuse me what are you?" before I could finish the person vanished as quick as they had appeared.
"Crap!" I said to myself. I took out my phone and began to dial Jacob's number.
"Jake who ever was after me before well I think they are back, do you think you could do some …." Before I could finish my sentence I felt someone touch my shoulder, I jumped and gasped punching who ever was behind me square in the face, they stumbled a bit and caught their fall, when I turned around it was Jacob holding his lip.
"Oh my god Jake I'm so sorry I thought" he pulled his hand off his lip and it was swollen a bit with a small cut that was bleeding.
"Nice hook Ness" he grumbled taking the sleeve of his long sleeve black shirt to wipe his mouth.
"I'm … I didn't realize it was you"
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah your violent" he stated.
"Oh come on you big baby it didn't hurt that much" I joked back.
"First my behind now my lip what next?" he questioned. I smirked and my eyes drifted down towards…
"Don't even" he stated moving his hand in front of himself for protection.
"I wouldn't dare… I need that" I joked.
"Okay but back to all serious stuff… he or they were standing here right by my car, when I was about to ask them who they were they disappeared so quickly" I explained.
"You have how many more tests?" he questioned.
"Just one and I'm done"
"Alright I'm going to hang around make sure no one bothers you okay?" I nodded as I shut my phone and looked at the front noticing the time I panicked.
"Oh crap Jake can you put this in my car I got to run" I threw the backpack at him as I kissed his cheek and sprinted towards class. I had a little bit of trouble concentrating after that, Mitch kept his eyes locked on me as I fidgeted in my seat.
"Are you okay Nessie?" he whispered while the teacher wasn't paying attention.
"Fine… now shh before we get caught" I whispered back.
"I like it when you're…"
"Newton!" I whispered a bit louder making the teacher look up, I went back to looking at my test before he could catch me I glanced up and noticed his head was back in the book he was reading. It took longer to finish the test, but after I was done I felt relieved it was my last test of the semester, I would finally be considered a senior. I began to walk down the quiet hallway, everyone had pretty much left for the day and the hallways were quiet and loud at the same time, I heard footsteps coming down the hallway behind me. Every time I looked back no one was there. I began to walk a little bit faster, flashes of that night came into my head as I remembered the guy in the alley, as I reached the corner the black cloaked person stopped directly in front of me.
"Renesmee Cullen" I took a gulp as my body froze.
"That would be me, what do you want with me anyway?" I looked at the guy it was definitely a male voice.
"I need you to come with me"
"You didn't answer my question" I folded my arms.
"I don't have to" he mocked back.
"Well in order for me to follow you…" before I could finish he roughly grabbed my arm. I tried to pull my arm away.
"Renesmee" I heard my name echo down the hallway, as it did I felt the hand let go of me and I turned back and he was gone. I looked back toward the voice it was Mitch, Mitch Newton had saved me for now. I ran over to him and had never been happier in all of my life to see him.
"Everything okay you are as white as a ghost" he told me. I touched my face and smiled.
"Great" I placed my arms around him thankful that he had been there.
"Woah Cullen are you going to miss me this summer?" I pulled away embarrassed.
"No just glad that you caught me before I left" I lied.
"And why is that, you broke it off with that guy of yours and your going to ask me to be your date my cousins wedding" I looked at him and laughed.
"Not in a million years Newton" I told him. He looked disappointed. I laughed.
"I just wanted to tell you to have a great summer, since I will most likely only see you once" I was trying my hardest to come up with something, was that really the only thing I had?
"Right… would you like me to walk you to your car?" he questioned.
"Please"
"Desperate?"
"Newton don't ruin this for yourself" I laughed. He smiled and we both turned back to exit the school. When we got the parking lot I looked towards my car and Jacob was there waiting.
"Who's the dude by your car?" he questioned as we got closer.
"That's Jake, don't you remember you met him once I think he came to pick me up a few months ago"
"Yeah don't remember" we got closer and Jacob was staring at us like I had done something wrong.
"Jake you remember Mitch… Mitch this is Jacob" I motioned.
"Nice to meet you, I guess I'll see you guys at the wedding, it's a pleasure Jacob" he stated backing away.
"Bye Mitch" I said, I made sure that he had been well across the parking lot before I spoke.
"You look panicked" he finally said after a few minutes of watching me search the parking lot.
"He got me Jake who ever it was had me if it wasn't for Newton I would I don't know what could have happened" I looked up at him and his nose went into the air.
"I can definitely smell vampire, and it's not you" he said putting his arm around me.
"Lets get back to the house so we can inform everyone, but before we go can you show me what happened?" I sighed and placed my hands on Jacob's face.
I let him listen to the sound of the footsteps behind me in the quiet hallways, when I had turned the corner there he was all I remember was the black cloak, and the deep voice, then a familiar voice echoed in the background.
"You better show that to your father let us get you home, give me the keys I'll drive"
"Jake I'm fine to drive seriously"
"Give me" he held out his hand and demanded that I put the keys in his hands. I sighed and pulled the keys out of my left pocket.
"There"
"Now don't fight me Ness and lets go before you get hurt" I sighed and got into the car. My eye's wandered around the parking lot and a black figure in the distance caught my attention.
"JAKE!" I cried out as he stomped on the break almost hitting the car about to turn to leave the parking lot.
"Jeez Ness was that necessary?" he said in an angry tone, I took my hands and turned his head toward the forest area.
"What Ness your hurting… oh shit let me get you out of here" making sure it was all clear Jacob stepped on the gas and we drove way over speed limit to my house. When we got back Aunt Alice and my Mom were the only two that were in the living room.
"Aunt Alice come here its important" Jacob and I shot through the entrance of the living room as she turned towards us. I got to her and placed my hands on her face showing her exactly what I had shown Jake and then what had happened in the car.
"EDWARD … CARLSILE … COME IN HERE" Alice backed away from me to try to see if she could see anything, with me in her way she couldn't see anything.
"What, what's going on?" my Dad was the first in the room my Mom was talking to Jacob about what was going on.
"Go ahead Ness show your father" I sighed and brought back the vision to my head, and showed my father exactly what had happened at school today.
"What's going on in here" my Grandfather finally entered the room.
"It's them they are back, they are here for Ness, go show your grandfather"
"UGH!" I shouted as I stomped my way over, watching this over and over in my head was not helping me much.
"Alright relax, I'm going to call Italy see if the know anything about this"
"If you can get in touch with them" Alice said.
"Right… but Alice in the mean time I need you to go to a safe spot for yourself to think please" he told her and disappeared.
"I'll call the pack again to make sure they know I'll be right back" Jacob hurried out the door I had guessed he would transform outdoors. Before I knew it everyone had given each other something to do besides me. The room emptied and I wondered what was going on. I decided to go outside to see if Jacob had come back. I stepped outside onto the steps, I slowly walked down and looked around the yard, before I knew it someone had knocked into me and I was being carried through the forest near my house, the tree's blew past me, it definitely wasn't Jacob and it wasn't my father.
"Who are you?" I questioned as I felt small bits of ran splash against my face. There was no answer.
"WHO ARE YOU?" I yelled again as he began to run faster. There was still no answer, just the sound of his footsteps and the thunder in the clouds above.
