REVIEW. REVIEW. REVIEW.
Nessie
Please please please don't come and try to find me. I won't be long. If I thought you would have allowed me to go I wouldn't have had to leave like this. I promise I won't be long, I know how hard it is for you to be away from me and trust me it's even worse for me but I would never leave if I didn't have to leave. I promise it's for the greater good and as I said I will not be long, I promise. I don't want you to come with me, what I need is for you to stay safe here. Don't worry about me, I will be fine. I'll be back before you know. I love you so much.
Your Jacob.
I carefully folded the note and placed it on Nessie's bed side table. I felt wretched inside for leaving her in this state but I had no choice. I had to go and find Scarlett and I couldn't risk Nessie coming with me, I needed to do this alone, I needed Nessie to be safe. I choked back the tears as I stroked her face and left the room shutting the door quietly. She would cry for hours when she woke up and I wouldn't be there to comfort her but if I did find our daughter she'd be crying tears of happiness.
I hadn't really packed anything with me, I had Nessie's credit card and a few changes of clothes but I didn't take anything heavy. Nessie had way more money on her card than I had on mine and I needed it a lot more, she wouldn't need it. If she needed it Bella could borrow her hers or Alice or someone. I quietly exited the house. It was the middle of the night but I didn't want these vampires to hear me so I exited out the back. I was in the car just starting up when I turned to my left to see Edward sitting in the car beside me. I jumped slightly and he laughed.
'Jeez what are you doing?' I snapped at him.
His laughter slowed and he told me to start driving before Nessie woke up, so I did and when we were a good mile down the road I stopped the car.
'So, what are you doing?' I asked again.
'I heard your thoughts about going to Volterra to look for Scarlett. I didn't think the volturi would ever take her but where else can she be? Who else is so skilled not to leave a trail? We've searched everywhere in this world except there. We have to try.'
I narrowed my eyes 'I didn't invite you' I retorted.
'Nevertheless, I am accompanying you. I won't let you get yourself killed; it would destroy whatever bit of my daughter is left.'
I scowled into the darkness 'I can take care of myself' I argued with him.
'Not against the volturi' he added simply.
I wasn't going to win this argument and I really didn't want to get myself killed, for Nessie's sake so I dropped the argument, and with Edward accompanying me I drove to the airport to start my journey.
