Chapter 14
Nessie
Walking out of the Volturri's hiding place was easy. Leaving Nahuel behind, that pained me mentally.
The darkness seemed to swallow up the light; hiding all the beauty that the sun had impacted on during the day. The midnight stars shining brightly above and all I can think of I need to rescue Nahuel; maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But someday.
Underneath the clock tower stood Jake, Mama, Dad, Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett. Jacob took a couple of strolls ahead of everyone else and wrapped his arms around my waist. I was still. Silent. Although I am glad to be back safe in his arms I can't forget the last words that escaped Aro's lips…
"Renesmee, my child you must be aware that now I let you leave here. This isn't the end. Your family will never get their teeth on our power. Don't let us fool you young one. You were doomed from the moment you were brought into this world and will be doomed for the rest of your life even if you have a wolf to protect you from all the danger in the world. The only Vampire willing enough to destroy us properly would be Nahuel and well I guess he has chosen to stay. So long my friend… you and your family will be hearing from us soon."
"Nessie?" Dad looked at me with strain concern as I unwrapped my self from Jacob's embrace and looked him in the eyes.
Please dad keep this to your self for the moment I can't deal with the stress of war. We need to figure something out but for the time being please keep quiet?
He simply nodded and his eyes went from Jacob then back to me and I instantly understood.
He can't read my mind at the moment I have blocked it off so I can speak to you… I understand mine and Jacobs imprint now and I can shield him off like what mama can do to you.
I tried to smile just a little but it seems impossible with all the mess and disappointment that I am surrounded in. Although I do need to tell Jacob at some point. God why is all this boy mess so confusing I'm not meant to act like a teenager yet!
I should have stayed; convinced Nahuel there is another way out of this he can't surrender to be under the Volturri's clutches. He just can't.
Jacob
I'm beginning to feel distant from her.
The past couple of days now Nessie has locked herself in her room; I'm not sure what to do… I try to speak to her through her thoughts but she's blocked them out.
I walked into her room; the sweet smell of her skin was memorising; even time she is near my love for her grows at a rapid rate.
"Nessie," I said softly, her head turned in my direction with her reddish brown curls swimming below her shoulders. Her eyes were full of tears; my heart sank as she turned away from me. "Nessie," I said again as I climbed on the bed resting my head on her shoulder from behind.
"You need to talk to me Ness, isn't there anything that I can help you with… We'll get him back. I know we will."
"How do you know that Jacob? You have no idea what it feels like!"
"Actually I do, he took you from me Renesmee. How can I explain to you how bad that feels; I could feel everything when Nahuel was torturing you. I felt him when he forces his lips on yours; and through against the wall. How could you forget that?"
"I - I... He was under the Volturri's influence Jacob... He's different."
"Ok, Ness whatever you say; I'm not going through this again. Do you love him?"
"No, Jake I love you. I miss him. He's my friend. My Best Friend."
I looked into her beautiful chocolate eyes and saw the true compassion that was there in her eyes back in the meadow.
"I love you too, Nessie." I slowly kissed her lips, bringing my hand to her face our kiss seemed to deepen into passionate, romantic swirl of lust and love.
Nahuel
I sit here thinking about her.
I love Renesmee; but after becoming who I am I know she'll never love me back. After all that I had done to her, she deserves better. A normal life without me in it.
