New Beginnings
Nessie
I opened my eyes to see a dark haired girl staring down at me, smiling.
"AUNTIE ALICE!" I squealed in delight, then hugged her. "I've missed you so much! I am so sorry about what happened."
"It's okay Nessie, I understand. We all do," She told me.
I smiled at her and we stood up. Alice looked past me and she stopped smiling. I didn't need to turn around to know she was looking at Jane.
"Auntie, it's okay. Jane helped me get out of Volterra, and then she helped Seth and I get here. She is just trying to help," I told her.
"I'm not mad Nessie, just confused. Jane, I saw your future. I saw you leave the Volturi to help Nessie but after that, it's blank. Like when I try to see the wolves future," Alice said.
I started to laugh, but put a hand over my mouth. Jane lightly glared at me while Seth smiled.
"Alice, I imprinted with Jane," Seth said proudly.
"Is that even possible?" Alice asked in disbelief.
"Yes it is. In fact, it happened before," Jane replied.
"Auntie, Leah imprinted with Aro. That's how she is involved with the Volturi," I told her.
Alice was in disbelief. "Holy SHIT! Now I know why I can't see Aro or your futures. That's messed up!"
"Yes. Yes it is," I said, while Seth and Jane nodded their agreements.
"Well, now that we have that mystery cleared up, I must show you guys wear everything is. Over here is the kitchen, Seth and Nessie, you should only pay attention to that. Upstairs we have six bedrooms so you are going to have to double up. That's fine though. I'm sure Seth and Jane would like a room together! Did Nessie tell you this island is great for love making?" Auntie asked, laughing.
Jane looked horrified while Seth looked like he was going to pee himself laughing.
"Well, that's about it. Any questions?" Auntie asked.
Almost immediately, I asked, "What happened with Jake?"
Alice sighed. "Nessie, you might want to sit down."
I did as I was told, as did Seth and Jane.
Alice continued the story. "Jacob felt horrible about what happened with you and he felt even worse when we told him there was nothing he can do. Overcome with grief, Jake went to one of the cliffs and jumped off, not aiming for the water."
I was in shock. "He-Jake committed suicide because of me."
It was a statement more than a question, and I soon felt overwhelmed with the truth.
Seth started to cry a little. This was the first time hearing what happened with Jake except for the general story. Jane, not knowing what to do, scooted closer to him, and put her hand over Seth's very carefully.
Seth lightly smiled at Jane, and then started to cry even harder. He put his head on her shoulder. I saw Jane stiffen, but she didn't remove Seth.
I started to cry. I was the reason why Jake is dead. I was the reason why Billy doesn't have a son anymore. I cause Jake to commit suicide.
"Nessie…" Auntie Alice started to say but it just made my cry even harder.
He came up with that nickname for me.
"Renesmee, I'm sorry but this is going to be incredibly rude but…he is SUCH a dumb mutt!" Auntie Alice finished laughing.
Huh?
"He tried to commit suicide, Nessie. He might've died if Carlisle didn't follow him, which thankfully, he did. The idiot also forgot about the wolves self healing trick. So thanks to his stupidity, Jacob is alive, Nessie!"
"W-what?" Was all I could say.
"Then why is everyone is saying he is dead?" Seth asked, just as confused as I was.
"Well, after that incident, he was still trying to kill himself. Carlisle needed to take him to a place where we all can keep a better eye on him, so Billy and Charlie agreed to start that rumour. We knew Leah would be spying too, so that ended up being a bonus," Alice explained.
"So where is he right now?" I asked.
"Emmett is watching him right now," Alice replied just as Emmett himself walked in.
"NESSIE!" Emmett yelled and gave me a huge bear hug.
"Hi Uncle Emmett," I said laughing.
"It's good to see you kiddo. Seriously. I'm tired of babysitting that lost puppy!" Emmett laughed.
"Emmett! Where is Jacob?" Alice asked.
"He said he was tired so I let him take a nap in his room," Emmett replied.
"And you didn't stay by the door, to hear if he was moving around in the room?" Alice asked angrily.
"No. Should I have been?" Emmett asked confusingly.
Alice growled in frustration and ran upstairs, us following behind. We burst through the door, only to find an empty bed and an open window. Quickly, I ran to the window to see Jacob walking towards the ocean. I sighed, thankful he is alive but then I noticed something.
He was carrying a huge rock.
Knowing exactly what Jake is doing, I ran out the door, screaming his name.
I got out to the beach just to see him plunge into the ocean. Quickly, I ripped off my shorts and ran to the water. I swam out to where Jake dived and then I went under as well.
The water was very clear, which made my job a hell of a lot easier on locating him. I dived deeper and reached Jake. His back was to me, so I pulled on his arm from behind him. Jake would not budge. I tried to project my thoughts into him.
Jake, let go. You don't want to do this!
He still would not move. We had to get out of the water fast or we will both drown!
As I was just about to project more thoughts to him, I was crushed with a wave of his emotions and memories.
Me as a baby. Me smiling at him when he carried me. Me petting Jake when he is a wolf. Me in a frantic state when my body started maturing into a women. Me in my white dress on my seventh birthday. Me telling Jake I love him.
Suddenly, I knew Jake was dying. I started to panic, not knowing what to do. His grip on the rock was solid. Jake will not budge!
I watched his head slightly fall, showing his dying state and then I suddenly snapped out of my panicked state.
I bit his arm.
Jake released the rock in pain and I took the opportunity. I grabbed his loose arm, and swam to the surface.
After what seemed like an eternity, we broke the surface, gasping for breath. Jake was still recovering so I held onto him as I swam us to the beach. I looked up and saw my whole family on the beach now, including Mom and Dad. I have never been so happy to see them.
I laid Jake on his back when we reached the shoreline, while I laid down next to him, panting.
Grandpa Carlisle came running over to check up on us.
"Jacob is breathing," He said.
Suddenly, Jake woke up and pushed at Carlisle, catching him off-guard.
"Jacob, JACOB! Calm down!" Carlisle yelled at Jake, trying to calm him down.
"NO! NO! NO! I'm tired of this bullshit! WHY WON'T YOU JUST LET ME DIE!" Jake screamed while thrashing around.
Quickly, I held onto Jake's arms but it wasn't helping. I needed a stronger grip.
Suddenly, I moved over Jake so I was laying on top of him. He was still moving around yelling.
"Jacob, Jake. JAKE!" I yelled at Jacob but he wouldn't calm down.
JACOB BLACK! STOP THIS NONSENSE RIGHT NOW!
Jake stopped squirming, but his eyes were closed in frustration.
Jake, open your eyes. You have a pretty girl lying on top of you and all you are doing is screaming about how you want to die. That's not exactly polite, is it?
Jake scrunched his face in confusion, and then he opened his eyes.
"R-Renesmee?"
"Hello Jake," I replied.
Jake sat up, forcing me to sit up but I never left his lap. "Nessie…"
I put my hand on his cheek. I am so sorry Jake. I should've listened to you. Everything that has happened is my fault. You would've never tried to kill yourself if I never ran off. You deserve a lot better than me.
I let my hand fall into my lap, and I looked down, not daring to look at Jake. I felt new wetness on my face, and I knew I was crying.
I was right.
He did deserve a lot better than me.
Still, why am I crying?
Everything I said was true…
I felt Jake put his hand under my chin, and tilted my head up. "Nessie," Jake whispered.
I started crying even harder then, and Jake took his thumbs to wipe them away.
"Nessie, I should be the one apologizing. I promised I would always be there to protect you and I failed. I should've done something…anything. Instead, I took all my energy trying to kill myself. It was selfish and pointless. I was an idiot," Jake said.
"GLAD YOU FINALLY NOTICED!" Auntie Alice yelled from behind us.
"SHUT UP ALICE!" Jake screamed back.
I giggled and put my hand on his hand that was cradling my face.
I'm just glad you are all right.
Jake smiled. "I'm just glad you came back."
I smiled back, and gave him a huge hug. I didn't want to let go of him, ever again.
Sadly, we did break apart, but we stayed sitting, grinning like idiots. His face was so incredibly close and I could feel his warmth radiating from him.
I cupped his face.
Promise me we will never be apart and that we will always be there for each other.
"I promise," Jake told me, and I started crying, but this time, it was happy tears.
Jake smiled at me, and then leaned forward. His face began to become even more close, our lips almost touching. Jake hesitated, and looked up at me.
It's okay Jake. You can kiss me.
He didn't need to be told twice, and then I felt Jake's lips on mine. They were warm and surprisingly soft. His kiss was not greedy, not pushy, but it was passionate. I felt his love for me radiating through that kiss.
As we broke apart, I heard Dad say, "You owe my ten bucks, Emmett. I told you they would kiss."
"I must call Stefan and Vladimir! They would never believe that the mutt isn't compensating anymore and actually made a move!" Auntie Alice said sarcastically.
"SHUT UP ALICE!" Jake yelled back.
"Aww, don't be mad, pup. I'm glad you finally kissed her. I was so right this time! This island is really made for love-"
"ALICE, SHUT UP!" Jake and Jane yelled at the same time.
Yep, I thought, Everything is perfect.
