Chapter 11
Nahuel's P.O.V
I walked Jasmine home, barely talking to her. I was afraid, to tell you the truth, because fate had it that I would one day have to meet her. I did not know what this was called, but a feeling, a very unfamiliar feeling, had gone through my body. Simply by a look. She was also very strong.
"So, you're the famous Nahuel." she suddenly remarked. "You were the one who saved Renesmee's life long ago."
"Yes. And you're the famous Jasmine. Sister of Justin and...daughter of Jasper." I emphasized on the 'daughter' in my sentence. She froze but then relaxed slightly as I laughed.
"I'm kinda not used to that phrase yet." she replied truthfully. "To think I've had a father, who didn't even know I existed, through my whole lifetime. I wanted to meet him very much and I created so many fantasies about it. But, I would have never came if I knew he was happy...if I knew I was just a bother to him. But I guess not everyone has my experiences..."
"I understand completely." I murmured. Then, I stopped short. I mean, I've never told anyone about any of this, it just wasn't my nature. But, this girl, Jasmine, she made it so simple to be myself and to spill out everything that's been dying to come out....should I go for it?
"What happened?" She asked, her eyes kind and considerate. "Unless you don't want to talk about it."
"No...no, I'll tell you. You see, I killed my mother as a baby...and through my whole life, it was a huge tragedy for me. My aunt who raised me loved my mother so dearly, and treasured her values beyond anything else. Then, then I met Edward's family... and I realized that that was what my father should have done. He knows he's made mistakes, but he never learns from them. I finally forgave myself, knowing that it wasn't my fault, but my father's...I always wonder what it would have been like if my father was more chival, more like Edward, what our family would have been like. Sometimes I imagine my mother looking like Bella, or like my aunt, and I try to see what she would have done for me. Obviously she had loved me from the beginning, since she wanted to keep me. And...I have to say, I love her too. Even though we've never met, I know she'll always be there for me, you know?"
Jasmine nodded. "Yes. I know. But, we'll both never get our mothers back. For years my grandmother blamed my mother's death on my father, but my mother chose to keep us. Even though she only had a month with us, we were still her kids, her babies. I think it's like that with a lot of chidren, and not just us halfs. Renesmee is an exception, because she still has both of her loving parents. She doesn't understand the agony we have to go through each day to live, but she does have her own agonies." She looked at me. "Like, picking between two boys she both likes and doesn't want to hurt..."
I sighed. "How'd you hear?"
"Oh I didn't hear. I can tell. Renesmee really cares about both of you, but don't you think it's selfish of you to force her into this decision? To pick you for the sake of our kind or to pick the boy she grew up with, who protected her through everything in her life, and is her best-est friend? Wouldn't you say that's cruel? I once heard that if...if you love someone, you should set them free. If they return, they were always yours....if they don't, they never were." Jasmine smiled at me. "People don't belong to anyone but themselves, so excuse me when I say this but, who do you think Renesmee belongs to? Who loves her more?"
I hung my head, already knowing the answer. "Thanks, Jasmine. You're pretty wise for your age."
"Pretty wise? Thanks." She grinned. "Am I pretty too?"
I laughed. "Yes. You're gorgeous."
She frowned slightly, "That sounded like sarcasm."
I laughed again just as we found ourselves at the river.
Renesmee sat there, splashing water at Jacob, while Justin and Leah were cuddling under a nearby tree. Suddenly, Renesmee looked up. Her face glowed with happiness...and my heart nearly cracked. Jacob made her happy...but what did I do, since I came here? Sure, I saved her life...but, that was already paid when they helped me forgive myself about my mom.
"Hello, Justin. I'm Nahuel." I shook hands with him. He stared surprised at his sister then at me, and then smiled. "Hey."
"How did you two end up coming home together?" Renesmee asked from the river. "Thought you were busy, Nahuel!"
"I was. Then I took a break, going for a run through the forest...when I bumped into her..." I stopped short. "I can tell, can't I, Jasmine?" She nodded, sitting down on the ground, placing her feet into the water. A bunny jumped into her lap as I sat down beside her.
"Well, what happened was, she was surrounded by two big guys who were practically raping her...." My voice trailed off as Justin jumped up.
"THAT'S WHY YOU'RE WEARING HIS SWEATER!" Justin jumped up and ran towards his sister.
"Anyway, I helped her get them off of her, then I walked her home." I finished quickly. "And I have more news...I gotta leave. I'm going to go home now." I sighed. "Renesmee, I'm sorry for giving you so much problems. All I ever wanted was for you to be happy...but I guess it was selfish of me because I wanted you to be happy with me. Sorry." I turned to leave but then Jasmine followed.
"Wait, you're actually leaving?" she asked. I looked into her face and she seemed dissapointed. "We just met..."
"I know. But my family has been gone for some time, and I gotta make sure they're ok. Plus, I don't really have a place here anymore." I said truthfully.
"But, Nahuel...." she began then quieted.
"What?" I asked. "Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Well, I know we just met, but still, werewolves call it 'imprinting' and I think that's what we just did. I think...we're soulmates." she whispered. "But it could be wrong."
I stared at her. She wasn't kidding, was she? "You...you seriously think so?"
She blushed deeply, making her look even more adorable than before. Wait, where did that thought come from? Maybe...just maybe...
"Jasmine, I see...I see where you're going with this." I admitted. "But, to me, family comes first. And...and we just met."
She raised her hands, a surprised look on her face. "I didn't mean that we should like, get married or anything...but I don't think you should leave so soon either."
I stood there, kind of shocked, but also kind of happy. "So...you just want me to stay...so we could get to know each other better?"
She nodded shyly.
I sighed. "I just...I don't know. I...I'm not who you may think I am. I'm technically a criminal, and all I want is for you to be happy and safe. Being with me isn't being safe. It's being dangerous. I can't...I can't endanger you any longer."
She shook her head. "No. No. No. No. Don't think like that! I've been on the run for years now, trying to look for my father...but also, also looking for my mate. I mean, it's not like the fairy tales, I know, but still...to have someone love you so much they would die for you? To have someone always looking after you? I know Justin is there, but he was bound to find his mate too, so I couldn't possibly bother him..."
I wanted to give her a hug, which made me hesitate before slowly pulling her into a hug. "Jasmine. I can't. I'm sorry. I'll...come back for you. I promise. Please, let me go. Stay here, and be a good girl, while I go to find my family, and then I'll come back for you." I slowly released her, staring into her big baby blues.
She frowned. "Nahuel...please, no. Don't leave me..."
I shook my head this time, and turned my back. "See you in a few." With that, I began to run. I felt like I was leaving a part of my life behind, and starting a new one. I wish I had kept the old, where Jasmine was a new character. I needed to have her with me, I knew, but I just couldn't allow that. I needed to get over Renesmee first. I mean, well, you know what I mean. Jasmine is my mate, I'm pretty sure, but Renesmee was the one I fell for.
I need time.
Jasmine's P.O.V
I watched as Nahuel disappeared through the shadows, leaving me with a heavy feeling in my gut. Why was I so obsessed with this boy, when I just met him? I owed him my life. Yeah, he was most likely my soulmate.
Slowly, as time had stopped, I made my way into the house. On the sofa sat the two young couples; Jacob with Renesmee and Leah with Justin. They were watching a movie. Justin looked up and noticed me, giving me a broad smile.
I smiled weakly at them before making my way up the stairs.
"Wait! Jasmine!" Renesmee called, finally noticing me too. Her voice carried and everyone poked their head through doors to look at me. "Where's Nahuel?"
I sighed. "H-He left. He wanted to find his family."
"Are you ok?" Justin asked, his eyes boring into my own. Justin always knew me best, no matter what it was about. I smiled, trying harder to look happier, and nodded.
"I-I thought he was joking!" Renesmee cried, jumping up. "He left without a goodbye!"
Jacob slowly pulled her down again, so that she was leaning against him. "It's ok, it's ok. He was in a hurry..."
I nodded again, then made my way up the stairs, not bothering to answer with my brother's calls. Suddenly, I realized just how lonely I was...
I walked up the next flight of stairs, then went to my room. I curled up on the bed, hugging my knees close to my chest. I felt like crying, because my fairy tale had not gone the way I had wanted it to go.
But I knew...I just knew...that he would be back. He...he had promised, after all.
I would just wait for him.
ok thats it. Srry for the shortness. My story is coming to an end, sorry peoples. Actually, this is the end. Mwa ha ha ha. lol.
