Chapter Ten - We Have A Problem
Art yesterday was amazing and hopefully it would live up to my expectations today. I had been in a rush all day to get to art in my haste I bumped into someone.
I was knocked back to the floor.
As I scrambled around to get my books I caught a look at the culprits shoes.
Gucci Heels?
I looked up to be faced by five girls, the leader I presumed stood in front. They were her feet and her shoes. Her brown mass of curly hair and seven inch heels made up for her lack of height. Each and every one of them shot me a disgusted looked.
The leader flicked her hair and I crawled to my feet.
"Watch where you're going new girl." she hissed. I smiled ignoring her bitchy tone.
"Sorry." I muttered and her posse tutted at me. I looked at them "Do you not have lives? Or do you just follow her around like lost puppies?" I asked indicating to the leader.
"We are Christie's friends not puppies." one girl said looking me up and down.
"Who's Christie?" I asked being purposely ignorant.
If I could wrestle with Emmett I sure as hell could take on overly-bitchy teeange girls.
"People in this school know their place. Cheerleaders obviously rank higher than new kids." the leader informed trying to show me her idea. I scoffed.
"Ranks? What are we in the military? I'm Renesmee Cullen and you are?" I said extending my hand for a handshake. She stared at it and then gave me a sarcastic smile.
"I'm Christie Newton, and this is my school." She said coming towards me. I stood my ground.
Newton? As in Chris's brother?
"Your school and Newton as in Chris Newton's sister?" I asked staring at her, the group of girls behind her shot me daggers and inbetween looks of shock. Obviously no one stood up to these girls.
"Yes, unfortunatly and this is my school. So why don't you totter off and get back to your sad little life." she sang and the girls laughed as if it was some incredibly hilarious joke.
Were these girls deaf? Or just plain stupid?
"I'm going to Art now so you can take your last season summer Gucci's and stride off, thats if you don't fall over." I waved as I waltzed past them, I turned around to see Christie's shocked face and I smiled to myself.
I was one of the first into Art even after my little confrontation and quickly dived into sketching out my next masterpiece. I was so enveloped in my work I didn't notice when someone spoke to me.
"Can I borrow your rubber?" A husky voice asked.
"Sure." I said not taking my eyes off the paper. I continued to sketch. I saw his hand creep across to get the rubber. His arms were pale and he had the most intresting cresent shaped birthmark on the back of his hand with a line going through it. It was so prominant that it could have been a scar. Was it the same as Lucy's?
"You are a very talented drawer." He complimented. I still did not take my eyes off the sheet.
"Thanks, I can't draw eyes though." I muttered, my nose scrunched up and I leaned back to get a better view of my work.
"I think that the eyes look good. I'm Nate." he said and his hand reached out. I turned my gaze and looked towards him.
"I'm Renes-" I froze cut off. The striking green eyes board into mine and his shaggy red hair framed his face.
I recognised him.
I swallowed back the lump that had formed in my throat.
I got up from my seat quickly and stumbled towards Mr Steel muttering pretences that I felt unwell. I could feel his stare on my back.
This Nate was the same guy from New York.
I ran towards the door and I finally managed to open it, I was shaking now. My thoughts were jumbled as I tried to remember which room Alice or Dad were in.
Alice had Biology with Mom.
My scrambled thoughts re-arranged themselves as I tried desperately to remember where they were. My legs started to move with no response from my brain. My breathing became ragged as I approached the science block. I had no idea where Jacob or my Dad was.
He's here! In Forks! In school!
I kept repeating it over and over in my head hoping that my Dad would hear me. The panic and tension built up inside of me. I wished for Emmett to make a stupid joke to take away the tension.
But Emmett wasn't here.
Neither was Rosalie or Jasper Or Esme Or Carlisle.
I continued to push myself, lactic acid built up in my muscles as I scaled across campus. I finally slammed to a halt outside their Biology room. They most probally heard my apporach I listened carefully.
"Im so sorry about this Miss Thorn we totally forgot we had a dental appointment."
"Alice don't worry about it. Bye Alice,Bella. Next time remember to bring a note from home though."
I focused on reverting back to my normal breathing.
In and Out
In and Out
In and Out
I felt cold hands on my face.
"Renesmee tell me what's wrong?" I heard my Mom begged, her fingers soothed my cheeks and I noticed that wet moisture was now running down my face.
I was crying.
"Nessie, breathe honey your safe. What's wrong?" Alice repeated her tone had a concerened tenor.
"H-H-He-He's here..." I managed to choke out. Mom took in a ragged breath and Alice had her phone out. She dialled a number.
"Edward?" Alice asked. Of course she would have rang him. My heartbeat and breathing had started to decelerate to a normal level.
"Of course....outside the science block. We'll meet you by the car." Alice said into the silver cell. She snapped in shut and grabbed my hand. My Mom grabbed my other.
"Nessie, we are meeting your father by the c-" Alice started
"And Jake?" I interrupted.
"He had Maths with your father Ness, he'll meet us there." Mom said. Alice and her eyes repeativly scanned the school checking for signs.
"He's in my Art class." I informed them. "The eyes, the hair, the birthmark..."
Alice stopped short and spun me around to face her.
"Birthmark?" Alice asked. "What was it like Nessie?"
"A cresent shaped moon, looked more like a scar or a sign of vampire venom but with a slight line through it." I said bewildered. This was no time to discus features-
I stopped myself short.
Features of course!
Ways to identify someone.
"Ok, what did he smell like?" she asked
"Like he need a shower." I said honestly scrunching up my nose. "He smelt like the forest and sweat."
I could see the car and my Dad and Jake running towards us.
Jake's arms pulled me close to his chest and a low growl rumbled from deep in his stomach, my hand patted his back in a soothing gesture. I pulled him closer and buried my head in his chest.
"I'm going to kill him." he hissed
"I like the way you think." my Dad pitched in, he drew out each word. I shuddered.
"I'm going to essemble Sam and the other...." Jake started but trailed off when my Dad's head suddenly snapped to the right.
I followed his gaze and Jake pushed me behind him.
Nate.
"Let's push him into the forest." Dad said speaking so low I could barely hear him.
Jake took off after him pushing the man back into the dark undergrowth.
"JAKE!" I called after him. Fear plummeted through my body.
"He's chasing him back into the clearing, Sam and the others have been alerted they are meeting us there." Dad said authoritively.
Soon we were speeding down the freeway towards the house. Esme and Jasper came out of the house as soon as we approached. A car pulled up the drive and Rosalie and Emmett got out. They came home from their honeymoon to be face with this...
"Carlilse is on his way now..." she started, sure enough Grandpa's Mercedes pulled up the long drive. My heart was beating fast in my chest. Where was Jake? What if he got hurt?
What if he got killed?
"Calm down Nessie." Jasper soothed sending out calming waves I allowed them to calm down my system. Esme pulled me into a tight hug.
"He will not lay a finger on you baby." she hissed, Esme was the most no violent out of all of this. It frightened me that she was angry too, then I remembered Alice's vision.
My father hissed and turned to face the forest, my family launched into protective crouches and out of the deep forest shadows I noticed Lucy emerge with Nate by her side.
"Nessie, this is my brother Nate." she smiled and my Dad hissed.
Confusion swept through me.
Lucy? Nate?
My friend, my enemy.
"Lucy?" I asked and she smiled.
Dad hissed and muttered somthing to Carlilse. I turned my head to the side and noticed that the wolves had joined us.
"What do you want?" Carlilse asked authoritively.
"Renesmee." he simply replied nodding. My heartbeat sped up and a coy smile pulled around his lips.
"Well you're not going to get her." Alice chimed.
"Our kind has been hunted to near extinction by you leeches and I want to make sure another kind isn't wiped out by you too." he spoke in a clear loud voice.
"Werewolf" Dad hissed.
"Lucy you're a werewolf? Like my Jacob?" I asked speaking out.
"Ness, your Jacob is a shapeshifter like me. Nate is the only real werewolf here." she laughed, it sounded too high for my liking and I cringed back into Jake's fur.
"That was the Volturi. We are vampires that live off of the blood of animals. We only wish for peace." Carlilse said.
Nate let out a large growl and my family were coiled ready to spring. Jake suddenly howled and Dad hissed again.
"What's wrong?" Carlilse spoke low and fast.
"We have a problem." he spoke through gritted teeth and then turned to face Leah's wolf form. "Leah has just imprinted."
