Chapter 14: Turned Too Soon

My first instinct was to freak out. After all my son had just bitten his grandfather and started the human to vampire change several months too soon. I should be completely freaked out right now.

I just didn't have the energy though. On top of having just delivered my baby I was still sick with the Spanish flu. My energy reserves were running dangerously low. I just did not have the energy to freak out and panic no matter how much I wanted. Yes I'm aware of how strange it sounds to want to panic.

"Nessie what are we going to do now?" For once my grandfather was the one looking to me for direction rather then the other way around.

"I don't know but I think we may have just seriously altered history"

"What do you mean?"

"My father was supposed to catch the Spanish flu in a few months time and you were supposed to be the one to change him. Now instead of being forever trapped at the age of 17 he'll be trapped at the age of 16. I know a few months is not much of a difference but in just about every time travel movie I've ever seen its the small changes that drastically alters timelines. Seriously when Back To The Future and its sequels come out just watch and you'll see what I mean"

"This isn't good Nessie. First of all I need to get you three out of here"

"I think I can stand" I commented.

"Are you sure about that Nessie?"

"Yes I'm positive. I may have to lean on you for support but I think I can stand"

"Actually Nessie I think it's best if I take your father home first and then come back for you. Do you think you can manage on your own for a few minutes?"

"Yes" I got the message loud and clear. He wanted to get my father out of here first before his screaming attracted the attention of passerby. I could understand that.

Once I was alone I looked down at my son.

He made a of urging sound that made me smile. In the midst of all the drama happening all around me he still made me smile.

I couldn't even begin to fathom the changes that my presence here had already made to the future. I was scared of the kind of future I would return if I ever did get back to the future. At least I wasn't fading away like Marty McFly nearly did. That was something. Perhaps the timeline wasn't altered to drastically and my father would still meet and fall in love with my mother.

"Nessie?"

"Oh grandpa. I'm sorry I didn't see you there"

"I could tell. You looked deep in thought"

"I kind of was" I admitted.

"Nessie" he lifted me as he began to speak. "Try not to stress yourself out to much. I'm still very worried about your health. Stress isn't going to do you any good. Now let's get you home"

"So how did Lizzie take seeing her brother again?" I asked.

"She wasn't there" he admitted reluctantly.

"What? What do you mean she wasn't there?" Not good. Definitely not good.

"I mean exactly that. She was not there when I got home with your father. She is missing"

"Oh no! We've got to go look for her!"

"Nessie! Calm down. You need to rest. I will go look for her as soon as I get you and your baby home safely. Don't worry"

"Don't worry? She disappeared two years ago only to suddenly reappear now as a vampire. Then she disappears again. How can I be calm?!"

"Nessie you need to relax. You're going to make yourself worse. I will go and look for her. Meanwhile you need to stop worrying about things that are beyond your control"

I sighed. He was right. I should stop worrying about things that are beyond my control but the truth is that I couldn't. She was just a little girl and I worried about her.

That worry did not ease at all when we arrived back at the house. As a matter of fact it only increased when I saw that she still wasn't there.

"Nessie I'm going to go look for her. I'll be back soon. Now please stay in bed. I have enough to worry about right now without you going missing to"

"I promise I'll stay" I reluctantly promised.

"Good. I promise I'll be back soon"

So now it was just me, my son, and my father who was currently writhing and screaming in pain.

It was about twenty minutes later when I heard someone knock frantically on the door. Whoever it was sounded like they were about to break down the door so I knew that it wasn't Carlisle.

To my relief it was Lizzie.

"Lizzie oh thank god where have you-"

"Nessie I can time travel" she cut in.

"What?" I said. Complete taken aback.

"You remember how Carlisle said that some vampires are gifted? I think I'm one of them and my gift is time travel. It just happened twice right now. Completely involuntarily"
