Hey guys! So good to be writing again. It's Christmas vacation and for the first time in the history, we weren't given any projects to do...That's the real description of vacation... Although I was totally hurt when my teacher seem not to appreciate anything we do at all.. She always yells at us! Ugh... She even told us that she never wanted to see us anymore!
Anyway, here's chapter 11, don't get mad if you don't like it... I hadn't re-read it after I added the last few parts and I hope it turns out nice... My Beta, Kallmecrazy, is busy with Star Crossed Lovers and so I decided not to bother her since I think I made her do extra work... THANKS for that! I'm updating as soon as she sends it back and I've checked. I would also be updating another one or two tho these story before I go back to school so you guys sit back and wait, okay!
Read and Enjoy!
Previously: "So we are meeting him at the clearing, at 9:46 A.M., on the 23rd."
"No." Emmett said and everyone looked at him as he took his turn on looking at the paper. "There's more. See? I think Raven has a request." He continued.
Jasper took the paper from his brother and took a glance at what Emmett was pointing out.
"The wolves wouldn't like that very much."
"What won't we like?" Jacob asked from the corner.
Chapter 11: The bomb that exploded
Jacob's POV
Jasper was hesitant on telling everyone else what he and Emmett had found out scribbled on the paper. I was anxious and I could feel the fire reaping me inside already. Raven had been heating me up to the end of my nerves. He already did with what he has done to Nessie. I had done nothing to at least prevent him from taking her that night. I was just beside her when I suddenly just heard him whispering into my ear.
"I told you it won't be long. Have you said your goodbyes?" I woke up seeing him watching Nessie from the bed with a smile playing on the corner of his face. I could feel my blood boil when he began stroking her hair as if she was hers. She wasn't. And without minding the growls I was making, he went to lift her off the bed and into his arms. That was when I began shaking hard. I didn't know what else there is to do but think of attacking him…which was impossible with Nessie so close. I don't have the strength to fight him off, but I tried anyway. I charged him hard but was only hit with his stony, cold arms that brought me back against the wall.
I stood back up and let out a furious growl that shook the whole house. That would surely alert the Cullens downstairs. The Cullens? How come they haven't heard him coming? Edward? Couldn't he hear him? Bella wasn't here. She's hunting with the others so no shield was up. How come? Jasper can here really good since he has the sharpest senses. How did Raven manage to come around every one? The pack?
He shattered the glass with an invisible force from his hands and he stood on the sill. It would be epic to see since the round black moon was right behind him. Perfect for a movie. But unlike then, there were no cuts. He was getting away with Nessie. The door shot open and revealed the Cullens. Raven's head snapped up.
"Say your goodbye, dear Cullens."
I tried to attack him. How can he just get away? But then like before, he used the invisible force that sent me back on the wall that now has a hole. Esme wouldn't mind that, right? I could care less.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to come or you'll get hurt? Don't worry she'll be in good hands."
And he disappeared leaving with a smile plastered on his evil looking face...
Left Renesmee's room in a mess...
Left everyone who was just standing there with dumbfounded expressions...
Left at 3:24 A.M. with Renesmee Cullen, a certain wolf's reason for existence...
Left me howling to the invisible moon above…
The New Moon
I was stupid for letting that happen…and now I would die. I couldn't live without her anywhere near. Sure if she went for a shopping trip I would be fine, but right now, I knew that she's in the hands of someone I don't trust. Someone who could easily kill her without any fight. And that scared the hell out of everyone else. I don't know what to do anymore.
"Jasper I won't ask again. What did you find?"
"I don't know how I'll say this to you, Jacob, or to your brothers." He was having a hard time saying whatever it was. This doesn't sound good.
"Spit it out." I said through my clenched teeth. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Edward, and back to me.
"Well, Raven asked us to meet him at the clearing, at 9:46 A.M., on the 23rd, right? Emmett found him asking for something though, or else he wouldn't show up."
He was unsure of continuing and that made me get even worse. How can he not tell me anything?
"We don't know how you'll react about this, Jacob, but Raven was asking for the wolves to bring the other imprints upon meeting him that day." He slowly said.
My mind shut down. No way would the wolves agree to bring them over. They would be put to danger, the exact thing we keep them from. I wouldn't do that…wouldn't I?
But… Nessie
My mind was racing really fast right now and I can't register every thought passing through. I would beg them to do it if I have to. I would swear that I could get on to my knees and do whatever they want me to just to let their imprints come. They can come to protect them. If they want, after this, they could banish me from La Push right away. They were my brothers and if the same thing happened to their imprints, I would help. Nessie would insist.
"Jacob, you need to breathe." Carlisle said.
"They won't do that." I whispered. "They won't send them anywhere near danger. I know."
"Calm down. We would first ask them and if they turn us down once, we wouldn't force them. We will only be thinking for a compromise to save Renesmee."
That is logical, but then compromising wouldn't work in this. No matter how tactical it is, it would be nothing against Raven. He would know the moment he comes that the imprints are not there. How could I get her back?
Before I explored every angle of the conversation, I heard Carlisle speaking to someone over the phone.
"Yes. Thank you, Sam." And he brought the call at an end.
"The pack would be here tomorrow morning. Sam wanted to know if something has happened but I chose not to tell him yet."
"For now, maybe we should just think of the best way on telling the Quileutes the favor we've been asking for." Jasper suggested.
I stayed silent. Sam wouldn't agree on letting Emily in a battlefield. Paul, on my sister? Would I let Rachel go? As her brother, would I get her in danger for the girl I love? Jared? How about Claire?
"There wouldn't be a way to make them." I whispered mostly to myself but of course everyone else heard.
"Don't think like that. We wouldn't know unless we try."
"And I know that they won't."
"Jacob, they're your brothers. They would think about it."
I didn't talk anymore. I didn't try to argue any longer. We should try though, right? Of course we should. And if they said no, am I ready? Would I hurt them for letting Renesmee be in the hands of someone…or something as dangerous as Raven?
The Cullens were discussing further on how to tell the pack, mostly the imprinted werewolves the condition we were in but I wasn't paying them any attention. I went back up at Nessie's room to check on things. I missed her despite the few hours we've been separated. I know she needs me but now I wasn't even near her to sooth her. She's still not feeling well.
There's the case. She wasn't feeling well. I wonder what caused that. Was it really the state the Raven put her through the last time he came before earlier?
I stayed on her bed which wasn't fixed yet after what happened. I buried myself under her pillow and blanket to take in her scent. I never wanted it to be this way. I could have protected her if only I was strong enough to do so. I was crying now while whispering her name over and over again and telling her how important she is in my head. In a few more minutes I fell asleep.
I fell asleep most of the day and the next and no one dared wake me. If I happen to wake up, I wouldn't get up from Renesmee's bed. I would roll over and that's it. Esme tried bringing me food but I barely touch them. I could go hungry for days and never try to eat anything as long as she's in the hands of the devil.
"Jake?" . I heard Bella whisper.
"Can I come in? I know you're awake." I didn't respond.
"Please" I didn't say anything but I heard the door slightly open and Bella's face popped in.
"Can we talk?" I made no answer to her and so she came to sit beside me on the bed.
"I know you're very upset with yourself. Don't be. We'll get…"
"How would you know that?" I cut off. "How could you be so sure that she's coming back and we would have her? We don't even know where she is, or what her condition is, or if she's still alive." I said in a breath and in a flat tone.
"I know she's alive, Jake. And you of all people in this world should know that. She's your imprintee. You can feel her." She didn't talk any further and I didn't as well. We stayed silent for what seem like hours which were actually only two minutes. She stood up and went over the door, only to stop half way out.
"The pack's already downstairs. We're going to wait for you." And she left.
Is it really Sunday already? Have I slept through the time?
I decided not to waste any more time and stood up, headed for the door and down the living room where I found everyone else sitting. I could pick up the tense building up and wondered how Jasper handles them.
"Jake? What's wrong, man? Is Nessie still sick?" Quil asked.
I didn't know what to tell them. Should I tell them?
"Actually, that is the reason why we ask you to come." Edward spoke. Everyone turned to him and got the scowling faces. I sat down on one corner, not wanting to know what decision the pack would do. I shut myself out from the conversation and just thought of Nessie.
Third Person P.O.V.
"Actually, that is the reason why we ask you to come." Edward spoke. Jacob went to the far corner of the room, not wanting the decision his brothers are about to make. Despite all these, he was willing to go and face Raven on his own. He would give up his life if it's the only thing that could save Renesmee. He sat down on the floor, stayed quiet and closed his eyes to drift away from the conversation.
"What do you mean? Is she all right?" Sam asked.
"Unfortunately, no. Renesmee has been taken the other day while most of us were out hunting. We don't know how he managed to get around us as we were pondering over the news about the missing children on the television."
"I've heard of that news. Those eight children had been returned already, right?" Paul asked.
"Yes, because the captor already got what he wanted with them." Jasper explained.
"What do you mean?"
"Raven had gotten around us. He had taken Renesmee, like I told you. If you have been watching the news, you would see that in the last girl he captured, he left a note. It was all pointing on my daughter." Edward explained further on how everything came to be until the way Raven left them, taking Nessie away.
The pack was speechless for a while, letting the words sink in them.
"And what about the note you warned us off? About the paper you took from the station?"
The time had come. They need to know what was about to come, but they are to decide as well. They would respect whatever decision they make.
Like they said: compromise.
"Raven asked that upon meeting him on the 23rd at the clearing, we take the other imprintees with us."
Only gasps were heard.
