Chapter 14: Newborn

Nessie's POV

Will stared at me intensely. He did not move nor did he say anything. It seemed like my whole family was collectively holding their breaths.

I stared at Will. Wishing nothing more then to know what he was thinking. I hoped that he was not suffering to much from the blood thirst that consumed most newborns minds. I hoped that my best friend, the guy I loved was not completely lost.

"He's mesmerized by you Nessie" dad said.

"What?" I said in shock. How can he be mesmerized by me.

"He thinks that you are even more beautiful then before" dad informed me. Of course my father would in fact know what Will was thinking.

"Well when you become a vampire your eye sight improves dramatically. He's noticing things about you that he has never noticed before and now he is even more attracted to you then he was when he was a human" my father continued to explain to me.

"He's also very confused as to how I know what he is thinking. And he's a little annoyed by it as well, but mostly confused" I laughed. I guess someone constantly reading your mind and telling the world what you are thinking would be a bit annoying.

I was also surprised by how calm Will appeared to be right now. Surely this was not typical of most newborns? From what my family had described of newborn vampires they were nothing but bloodthirsty savages. My mother had been the only exception to that rule, but that was because she had prepared for her transformation advance. Nothing had prepared Will for what was coming.

I did not really think about what I was doing as I leaned closer and closer to Will. In that moment the whole world seemed to disappear. It was just me and him. Then my lips touched his.

Then I heard a huge commotion behind me followed by someone screaming "Nessie no!" before I felt two pairs of hands grab me and yank me away from Will. I fought against whoever was holding me, but of course my attempts were futile.

"Take her" I heard my father say.

Once we were in the hallway I realized that it was my mother who held me captive.

"What is going on?" I asked but my question went completely ignored.

"Nessie what were you thinking?!" my mother countered. "You were about to kiss a vampire! A newborn vampire! We have no idea what his self control like right now and you still have way to much human in you! What were you thinking?!"

The truth of the matter was that I did not know what I was thinking. All I knew is that I was in love with Will and I didn't care what he was! He meant so much to me and I just wanted to be with him! What was so wrong with that?!

"I don't know" I answered truthfully.

"Nessie do you not have any sort of self preservation?! He could have killed you! One second is all that it would have taken for him to kill you when you are so close to him! Actually, no! It would have taken less then a second! A fraction of a second!" my mother was clearly frantic about this whole situation. The truth was I was the last person that I was thinking about the entire time that I was with Will. I did not care that it was dangerous. Hell I did not even consider the danger that I was putting myself in. I don't think it would have mattered anyway. I wasn't so sure that there was danger. I loved Will and I was sure that, newborn or not, he would never hurt me.

"Apparently she has about as much self preservation instincts as you did when you were human Bella" my had appeared in the hallway by now. "of all the things that she had to inherit from you it had to be the lack of self preservation"

"Nessie what were you thinking?!" my father kind of shouted at me.

"I wasn't thinking I-"

"Key words!" he muttered "Wasn't and thinking. Nessie why would you put yourself at risk like that?!"

"I didn't think that there was any danger" I admitted. "Will would never-"

"Nessie he is a newborn vampire now! Maybe before he would never hurt you but now things have changed! He could hurt you quite by accident! We have no idea what his self control is like and even if he has good self control he needs to get used to his newfound strength first! Do you really think that it is a good idea for him to test those things on you?!" mom told me fiercely.

"I'm sorry" was all that I could say.

"Nessie we have just gotten you back. We don't want to lose you so soon after finding you. In fact, we don't want to lose you at all!" dad all but shouted in my ear.

"Well I'm sorry" I said again.

"Nessie just don't go putting yourself in danger like that ever again. You are lucky that nothing happened. You are lucky that we were there" dad stated.

"What is going on right now?" I asked in what I could only describe as a very curious voice.

But before anyone could answer we heard the doorbell ring.

"It's Jacob" dad said. I felt a sense of relief that Jacob hadn't died out there in the woods. But I also felt anger built up inside of me that he would just disappear the way he did.

"Jacob where the hell have you been?!" I nearly shouted when my father had opened the door.

"Around" he said. It was clear that he was still pretty upset with me for going out with Will that night.

"What happened to you?" he asked me once he really took notice of me and my injuries that were still healing.

"If you had been here you would have known. Some friend you are" I muttered angrily knowing very well that he could still hear me.

"Well I'm here now-" he had stopped himself mid sentence and took a sniff. I felt myself tense up. I wondered if he had somehow caught Will's scent.

"There is another one of you damned bloodsuckers here now?!" Jacob shouted.

"Not that it matters to you right now Jacob but yes there is. It's Nessie's friend Will. We had to change him" dad said.

Almost immediately Jacob's eyes filled with anger. "It seems as though you have forgotten one key point in the treaty. If any of you bites a human than the truce is over. You have violated the treaty. This means war"
