RPOV
'Renesmee?!' I heard a voice waking me up from my deep slumber. Slowly I opened my eyes and grimaced. I felt weak, weaker than I ever felt before and I knew I wasn't going to make it much longer. My eyes tried to find the source of the sound but there was nobody there.
'Renesmee, are you there?' There it was again. It was the radio, how stupid of me. I raised my hand to grab it, but it slipped and fell onto the seat next to me. I groaned when I searched for it with my hand. After what seemed forever I finally found it and pressed in the button to respond.
'H-hello?' My voice was nothing more than a raw whisper, but I think they heard me.
'Renesmee, we are going to get you out of here. Don't you worry.' The voice on the other side seemed distressed but I was glad that there was something to keep me awake. Something to keep my mind of this pain.
'Jacob…?' I couldn't believe that after all that happened he was the one to come and save me.
'Yeah I'm here. I'm coming to get you. I just need you to climb out of the car, it's too unstable to wait there. Can you do that for me?'
'No, I can't' It was hard staying awake. I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep. I was so bloody tired. But I knew if I did so I probably wouldn't wake up.
'Listen Renesmee, I know you are scared. But I'm not going to let them hurt you. I give you my word that they won't hurt you when you come out. We can talk about what happened, it's going to be fine.' I raised my eyes to the cliff where they were standing. I bumped my head against the steering wheel in my fall and everything was a little blurry, but I could see him standing there. He was accompanied by the fire department and a couple of pack members.
'Renesmee you there?'
'I can't m-move' I whispered in the radio. My mouth was dry making my voice even more raw. I didn't knew how long I could keep this up, talking and staying awake seemed to drain out all the energy I had left.
'Why? Why can't you move? Are you hurt?' There was panic in his voice now. I nodded, not realizing he couldn't see it. I rested my head against the seat and sighted deep. I needed to close my eyes for a little while. I needed some rest, only a little while.
'Renesmee, sweetheart you have to answer me.' He shouted into the radio. I grunted as I reached for it to reply. I could hear voices on the background when he spoke. They were working on some kind of harness so Jacob could make his way down the cliff and reach me.
'I am pinned down' I groaned.
'Pinned down? Is something leaning on you? Or is it something else? Come on talk to me.'
'My left side, I –' I raised my other hand which was covered in blood to check on the wound. 'I'm impaled by a piece of metal from the guardrail. I can't get it out and it's pinning me to my seat.'
There was radio silence as Jacob took in the news.
'Are you bleeding?' His voice was worried but there was some hope in it as well. If he seemed so hopeful maybe should I be hopeful as well.. I pressed in the button to answer him but got interrupted by the sound of shrieking metal.
'Oh my god.' I muttered as the car dangerously tried to keep it's balance. 'I'm going to fall of this cliff aren't I?'
'No, no you are not. I'm coming for you. I will get you out, don't you worry. I just need you to be brave and strong for a little while longer. I know you can do that. I know you are a strong and brave person.'
I couldn't believe this was how I was going to die. In Forks of all places. I was dying because some vampire had a personal vendetta against Jacob and I got in her way.
'Renesmee you have to keep talking to me. I need to know you are okay. Please say something.'
'Do you think I'm going to make it out alive?' I grunted.
'Yes, I do. We are all working very hard to get you out of there.'
'If you do, am I supposed to pay back this car? Because you are not paying me enough for that.' I said trying to make a weak joke.
I could heard Jacob's bitter laugh on the other side. 'I'll promise you I will give you a raise.'
'Hey Jake, I'm getting a little lightheaded.' I mumbled as my eyes were getting heavier and heavier.
'I'm coming right now.' He shouted into the radio. 'I'll be there in a few minutes, maybe even sooner.'
'No, don't leave me. I need you to stay awake.' I mumbled. My eyes were already closed and I was slowly slipping away.
'Renesmee, It's Seth. I'll stay with you while Jacob's making his way down okay. He is coming right now. Can you see him?'
'No, I can't keep my eyes open. I'm too tired. I need to sleep for a little while.'
'No you don't. You need to keep your eyes open. You need to stay strong.' There was even more panic in Seth's voice than in Jacobs and it was making me feel nervous.
'It's okay Seth. It's not your fault if it doesn't work. And it's not Jacob's fault. Can you tell him that for me?' I whispered with my last strength before the radio slipped out of my hand. It dropped on the floor unable for me to reach anymore. I was on my own.
'Why don't you tell him yourself.' I heard Seth trying to encourage me. There was more shrieking of metal and I knew my fate was settled. I didn't had minutes anymore, in just seconds the car would call of this cliff and I wouldn't survive another tumble. This was the end for me.
My mind wandered of to my family. I would never see them again, I would never be able to tell them I was sorry for coming here. I knew they would be shattered when they heard I was dead and if I hadn't been so stubborn… I just hoped they knew I loved them, more than anything.
There was more shrieking of metal and it sounded like a car door was torn of. Then someone touched me, he grabbed my shoulder and shrugged me. I tried to open my eyes but they were so heavy. I managed to open them a little bit and I saw an blurry shape bend over me.
'Jacob?' I whispered.
'Jacob will be here soon' He said and then with one swift move grabbed the metal of the guardrail and pulled it out. I was unprepared and screamed in pain when he did. That was the moment I lost consciousness.
'Sweetheart? Can you hear me?' When I opened my eyes a warm and friendly smile was waiting for me. The nurse who was cleaning my bandages quickly checked my pulse and temperature.
'Well you are doing better than we expected. How are you feeling?'
'I'm okay.' I lied. 'What happened? How long did I sleep?'
'Well you took quite the nap. You were out for a whole day. I will get the doctor so he can check on you.'
As she walked off to get the doctor I slowly sat up. My body was sore and stiff and the wound hurt, but it wasn't that bad actually. I felt okay, it was doable. By the looks of it I would be fine. Soo the doctor walked in who confirmed my prognose. The wound was cleaned and I had been so lucky that the metal didn't hit any of my organs. It was just a flesh wound. They wanted to keep me here until my heartbeat and temperature were back to normal. Then I could go home to recover.
When the word was out that I was awake Jacob came to visit me. He probably pulled some strings and asked them to inform him when I woke up. He walked in with a 'get well soon' balloon in his one hand and in the other a fresh cup of coffee.
'How are you feeling?' He asked worried as he tied the balloon to my bed.
'Really?' I raised my eyebrows as I glanced over to the balloon. 'A balloon?'
He ignored my comment and handed me the coffee which I gladly accepted. It was my favorite brand of cappuccino, something I couldn't refuse.
'So how are you doing?' He asked me as he grabbed the chair and pulled it near. He then carefully sat down. I forgot that he was hurt as well. That Delilah made him stab himself. It must have taken it toll in him pulling me from that cliff. Climbing up with my dead weight didn't seemed the easiest of jobs.
'I'm okay.'
'Really? You don't have to keep up the tough act around me. Not after everything that happened, you know that right?'
'I'm fine. Really. So we have a lot to talk about don't we?'
Jacob nodded his head. 'Yeah, I think we do.'
I waited for him to start but he kept silent for a while not knowing where to start or what to say.
'The doctor said your vitals are okay, your heartbeat is a little fast but there was nothing out of the ordinary.' I couldn't help but chuckle at his words. Of course my heartbeat was faster, I was a hybrid for fucks sake. But Jacob didn't knew that, yet. His dark brown eyes trailed over me and found mine eventually.
'I never meant for this to happen, I'm so sorry that you got caught in the crossfire like this. I'm terrible sorry for everything Renesmee. I need you to know that.' He whispered and reached for my hand. I let him, he pinched my hand softly and gave me a sad smile. Absentminded he touched the bitemarks in his neck, I don't think he even realized doing so.
'Do they hurt?' I asked with a little voice as I nodded to the bandage in his neck.
'No, but I just can't wrap my head around this. I've should've been dead by now. Vampire venom is lethal to werewolves like me.' He furrowed his brow in confusion. Before I could provide some explanation his phone rang and he grabbed his out of his pocket.
'Oh, probably your parents.' He muttered before he pressed answer. I couldn't stop him in time, I wanted to stop him but my words didn't come out. Dad would go completely mental when he heard what happened and when he found out why I was here. I would be grounded for life, I was sure of it. This was the end of Renesmee Cullen. I would be a monk for life. Terrified I waited for Jacob to pass me the phone so I could receive my scolding.
'Edward?' Jacob whispered horrified. His facial expression went from worried to confused to horrified. His eyes found mine and were blazing with deep raging anger. Oh god, this wasn't going well. I completely forgot about the fact that Jacob knew my mother, I saw the photographs of them together. Probably he knew my father as well. Shit, this wasn't good. My cover was blown.
'Ask her yourself.' Agitated Jacob handed me the phone and walked out of the room. With a heavy heart I picked it up, here we go…
'Hello?" I whispered into the phone.
'Renesmee Carly Cullen,' My father answered. 'What the hell are you doing in Forks? Have you completely lost your mind?'
'Dad,' I tried, but it was of no use. My father had already made up his mind. 'I'm coming to get you. I'll be there tomorrow, better pack your things Renesmee.'
JPOV
I couldn't believe it at first. But I recognized Edwards voice within seconds. The anger I suppressed for years after Bella left, came back flooding in. My mind still couldn't make sense of it at all. Did they turn her? Did those filthy Cullens turn Renesmee? But she wasn't a full vampire, she still had a beating heart. But I couldn't forget the fact that she tried to bite me, I let my hand go over the puncture wounds once more. Then there was just one more option, but that couldn't be. Could she be a hybrid? Could it be that she was the child of Edward and Bella. I didn't even knew that was possible.. He wouldn't, they wouldn't.. while she was still human right? Oh god this was so confusing, I needed some answers and a drink. But first answers.
I walked back into the room. But the bed was empty. Just seconds ago she laid there, but now it was completely empty. My phone laid on the nightstand with the rest of her belongings. But Renesmee was nowhere to be found. I glanced over to the open window, why would she feel the need to make a run for it? I inhaled the air making sure it smelled clean and there were no traces of vampire. I needed to make sure this was not Delilah's doing.
I rallied up the pack and made them search the woods, but Renesmee knew darn well how to cover her tracks. Still I needed to find her, we had a lot to talk about. When the woods were cleared me and Seth headed back to the police station, maybe we could track her creditcards or find another lead which told us where she was headed. I walked in and greeted Peter who was working the night shift. He nodded in my directions as he finished his phone call. Deep in thought I walked over to my office and opened the door.
She had been here, I could smell it. Her sweet smell lingered in the air. I looked around but nothing seemed to be missing, but I noticed the file cabinet was moved. It was just an inch or so, but it was enough to make me suspicious. It was still locked, but when I pulled it forward and turned it around I noticed there was a hole in the backside. She was good, Peter didn't even noticed she was here. It was ironic that she, as a police officer in training, felt the need to steal. But why? What was it she needed so desperately that she couldn't ask me?
I opened the cabinet and went through the files. It didn't took me long to figure out which one was missing. Now that I knew that she was a Cullen I figured she would be here for the Charlie Swan file. And I was right, since that was the one that was missing. I could understand her need for closure. But the Charlie Swan case was a supernatural one, she wouldn't be so foolish to take revenge now would she? Not when Delilah was involved. I had a bitter taste in my mouth as I thought about the situation. Going after Delilah would be mean the end of her. I couldn't let that happen, I couldn't. I needed to protect her.
I turned around to grab my things and head out, but before I realized it I was pinned against the wall and two golden eyes were drilled in mine. I couldn't help myself from letting out a low growl when our eyes met.
'Where is she?' Edward hissed at me. The other Cullens walked into my office as well, accompanied by Seth. It was strange seeing them all, they didn't change one bit. I turned my attention towards Edward again and gave him a push so that he would get his dirty hands of me.
'Edward, always an unpleasant surprise.' I muttered as I regained my composure.
'Where is she, I swear to god I will end you if you don't answer.'
'Edward, calm down.' Carlisle hissed and Edward stepped backwards. His dark eyes wandered over me and trailed to my wedding ring. With disgust he looked at me, wanting to make a comment but Bella interrupted him doing so.
'Jake, I need to know where she is. That she is safe. She is my daughter.' She whispered as she stepped forward and looked at me with pleading eyes. Her eyes changed, they were golden as well telling me that she was a part of the coven now as well.
'I don't know.' I answered bitter. 'Just as useless as always.' Rosalie commented.
'What happened to her Jacob?' Esme tried and I let my mind run over the events that occurred. I didn't know where to start. For a second I forget that Edward had the ability to read people's minds. But when I saw the hate in eyes grow I realized I made a mistake.
'You did what with my daughter?' He hissed and I was sure he would try to rip my throat out any second now.
'Edward, calm down.' Bella hushed.
'He slept with her, he slept with her while he is married to another woman.' Edward hissed and the whole room fell silent. All the Cullens looked at me with disgust in their eyes.
'Enough.' She spoke as she walked in. We all turned around to face her, she looked tired and fragile. Her hair was a mess and there was mud al over her clothes. There was dirt on her face, leaving black streaks.
'Ness.' Bella hurried forward and pulled her in a hug. 'We were so worried. Don't you ever do this again young lady.' After a few second Renesmee pulled loose and glanced over to her dad. They seemed to have a conversation without words, Edward furrowed his brown as he stared at her.
'Are you certain?' Was the only thing he said to her.
Tiredly Renesmee nodded her head. 'I'll show you.'
Then she turned around and started walking, I exchanged looks with Seth but we decided we would follow her as well. She had a bit of a limp, but Renesmee picked up the pace soon enough. She led us through the woods until after five minutes or so we arrived at our destination.
'The graveyard?' Emmett asked confused. Renesmee just nodded and continued. We obediently followed her until she stopped at a grave. It became clear why she was so dirty because she dug up the coffin herself. I knew this place and I knew who was buried here. My eyes wandered off to the name written in stone.
'Charlie Swan, a father and a friend.'
Bella let out a sob when she realized. 'Why are we here Renesmee, why are you doing this?' She asked her daughter with a broke voice.
'Renesmee, what kind of sick game is this?' Rosalie hissed as she put an arm around Bella. 'Why are we here?'
'Dad, can you help me?" she just whispered. Horrified I stared as they opened the coffin.
It was empty.
'H-how is that possible?' I heard Seth whisper from behind me.
'I realized it when I stole the files from your office Jake, I recognized the jacket from the crimescene. He was the one who pulled me out of the car, I remember now.'
'But how?' I asked her confused.
'I think he was in transition when you buried him. He was alive, barely, but enough to make it through the transition.'
