Chapter 12: Danger

Nessie's POV

Danger. I could sense it all around me. Every nerve in my body felt like it was on fire. Electrified even. I was hyper aware of everything that was going on. I had never been more aware of my surroundings in my entire life then I was in that moment. The gang leader/meth cook that was currently standing in front of me. I somehow managed to keep the gun steady and aimed at him. The five gang members that had all their guns aimed at me. The two Rottweilers were slowly advancing toward me with their teeth bared. They almost looked ready to attack. I was able to get a glance at Marcus. He looked terrified. Whether it was for my safety or his own I was not sure. Either way he was scared. I could only hope that somehow we would both come out of this alive tonight. I seriously regretted coming out here though. I should have never left the Cullens house.

"You know you can still save your life and Marcus's as well. I'm going to give you on more chance. If you take us up on our offer and we can end this right now and all go home"

I spat in disgust. There were was nothing that grossed me out more then the very thought of even touching them let alone having sex with them. I regretted prostituting myself like that to Marcus, now more then ever and Marcus was my friend. So there was no way in hell that I was going to do it with all of them. I'd rather die instead.

"I would rather die instead" I said.

"Okay then" he said.

Something attacked me from the side and knocked me over. The gun flew several feet away from me.

"I ordered the dog to attack you in case you're wondering. He's been waiting for some action. Consider yourself lucky that I didn't order both of them to do it" the leader tells me. "But one will be plenty painful enough"

I tried to push the vicious dog off of me but it wouldn't budge. It scratched me and bit me. I screamed in pain when he bit me again this time on my arm. I could feel the blood beginning to ooze out of my wounds. Had I not been in danger I may have passed out at the sight of it.

Then the strangest thing happened. The dog was lifted into the air and thrown at least ten or maybe even fifteen feet away from me. The dog was just simply thrown as if it were as light as a feather.

"Nessie come on get up!" I was surprised to hear Bella's voice urging me to get up.

When she offered me a hand I immediately grabbed onto it. She immediately pulled me into a tight hug. Then she pulled me a good distance away from the whole scene.

I was surprised to see that all of the Cullens, including Jacob, were there. Edward, Jasper, Emmett, Alice, Rosalie, and Esme were there. Jacob was shaking so badly that I was surprised he hadn't fallen over by now.

It seemed like mere seconds later that Carlisle had the gang leader by the throat. The look on Carlisle's face actually scared me. He looked like he was about to kill the leader. I didn't want that to happen. I didn't care much for the leader/cook's life. As far as I was concerned the world is better off without people like him. What I cared about was Carlisle. He wasn't a killer and I didn't want him to change for this low life piece of crap.

I could hear the Cullens trying to convince Carlisle to let him go but it wasn't working. The rest of the gang, as well as Marcus looked too terrified to do anything.

I didn't think I just acted. I got away from Bella and ran. I ignored the stinging pain and bleeding wounds caused by the dog bites.

"Carlisle don't do it!" I screamed.

Carlisle's head whipped toward me. My heart actually stopped and skipped several beats when I realized that his eye color had taken a sudden and drastic change. Instead of being the usual golden color that they always were his eyes were now coal black.

"Nessie he was about to kill you-"

"But that doesn't mean that you should kill him. Carlisle I haven't known you very long but I do know this. You're a good person. You really care about other people. You're so kind and compassionate. That's why I have grown to love you. You've been more of a father to me then anyone ever has. Don't change for him because he is not worth it"

I think that something I said must have gotten to him because he let go of the man.

Then I ran up to him and threw my arms around him. I hugged him tightly and even kissed his cheek. He held onto me tightly.

"Nessie you're bleeding" Carlisle said when he noticed my arm.

"Oh I'm fine" I said, trying to play off my injuries so they wouldn't seem as serious as they were. "It's just two dog bites and some scratches. It's not that serious"

"Not that serious?" Carlisle just shook his hand.

"Nessie first of all I am going to call the police and have the whole gang arrested. Second I'm going to take you home and take care of you because, no matter what you say, dog bites are serious. Then after that I am going to scream at you for everything that you did from sneaking out to nearly getting yourself killed"

I smiled and hugged him tighter. "Screaming at me means you care about me and I wouldn't have it any other way"
