Chapter 13: Nayeli
Hey guys sorry I haven't updated sooner but it was my birthday last week and I had a crap day and I've been busy with netball starting, work and school. Anyway I hope you like this chapter. I do! Please read and review!
Jake started shaking violently, the Cullen's went still and nobody knew what to do. I quickly phased back and threw on my pants whilst running into the house.
"JAKE!!" I yelled "Calm down. Come on."
He was still shaking as I ran to him; grabbing his arm I yanked him down the last few steps.
"Jake let's go. You don't want to hurt her do you?"
His eyes focused on me,
"Seth, don't make me leave her please?" he asked.
"You need to calm down first then you can see her okay?"
He nodded slowly as I pulled him out the door and down the stairs. He ran off into the woods phasing as he ran.
"What's wrong?" Gabby asked.
I turned to find her and Leah has phased back.
"He is just trying to deal with it. We should leave him for a bit then I'll phase and check if he's okay."
Two weeks later
Things have gone pretty well since Renesmee's birth, Edward and Bella didn't react well at first to Jake's imprinting. But everything is fine now, Bella is the best new born anyone has ever seen. Right now I'm running patrol with Leah whilst Gabby is at home sleeping and Jake is visiting Nessie. Oh yeah Renesmee's got a nickname but don't call her Nessie or Ness in front of Bella, she'll try and kill you. Trust me I know.
As I was running past the front door of the Cullen's as Jake came running out, phasing in the air.
'What's wrong?' I asked frantically.
'Volturi. Coming. Here.' Was all he could get out.
The Volturi were a very old and powerful Italian vampire group. When Edward had tried to kill himself because he thought Bella was dead, he had gone to the Volturi. They knew Bella was set to become a Vampire but about a week ago she was hunting with Ness when she saw a vampire that ran away after seeing Nessie, most people don't know what she is. She has human blood running through her veins, a beating heart and an almost in-destructible body that slightly glows in the sun. So someone had told the Volturi about Nessie and now they were coming here. Great. Not!
'Well what are we gonna do?' I asked.
Jake thought for a minute before answering,
'We are going to see Sam and the pack and see if they'll stand by us. We will fight with the Cullen's if need be.'
'Okay, well I'll go get Gabby you gonna meet us there?'
'Yep be there in 10 minutes.' Jake said.
I ran off in the direction of Gabby's house while I could hear Jake getting Leah and running towards Sam's letting out a howl as he went.
As I reached the back door Gabby came running out in her sweats,
"What's wrong I heard the howl?" she asked.
I looked at her until she realized I couldn't answer.
"Whoops." She said before taking of her sweats and phasing. I stood there trying not to stare but what can I say, she's beautiful.
'So again, what's wrong?'
'The Volturi are coming.' I replied.
She gasped; I had told her the story of Bella and Edward which also involved explaining the Volturi.
'When?' she choked out.
'Soon. We need to get to Sam's, Jake's going to ask him if the pack will join us and the Cullen's to protect Nessie. It's who their after.'
'Okay, let's go. I don't want to waste any time if Nessie's life is in danger.'
Gabby and Ness had become close, Gabby would sit and play with Nessie for hours without getting bored. It was kind of like what Jake would do, minus the imprinting.
We ran side by side to Sam's when we got there we could yelling coming from inside the house.
We phased back and ran through the door; Sam and Jake were standing within inches of each other.
"Why the hell not?!" Jake yelled.
"Because we will not protect those who betrayed the treaty, you may have forgiven them but we will not." Sam yelled back.
"Nessie is only a child; will you let her die because of your pride?" Jake flinched as he said this; I knew it hurt him to say something like that about Nessie.
"That is not our problem, if they are going to cause problems with the Volturi they can fight by themselves." Sam replied.
"Okay well I didn't want to have to resort to this but I IMPRINTED ON HER okay!"
The whole room fell silent of course Gabby, Leah and I already knew but Sam's pack didn't.
"Dude, how can you be so close to them all the time?" Jared asked.
"Because Ness is my imprint, I would do anything for her and at the moment that means being around her and her family."
Sam stood silent while the rest of the pack asked questions about Jake imprinting.
"Okay we will stand by you and the Cullen's to protect Renesmee." Sam finally said.
"What?!" Paul yelled.
"Paul, he has imprinted. You know what that feels like. He will do anything to protect her, so we will stand by him through it."
Jake and Sam sat down and talked about how they would handle the situation and worked out a plan. Gabby and I went back out to patrol while Leah went home.
It's been a few days since Sam agreed to help us and the Cullen's everyone's been constantly talking about their plans.
I have been running patrol all day making sure I could not smell the slightest vampire scent. Alice had seen the Volturi coming tomorrow. I was exhausted but I had not seen Gabby all day because she had been at the Cullen's.
So I ran to her house and jumped through her open window,
"Argh!!" she screamed as I tackled her from behind and threw her onto her bed.
"Got ya." I whispered as I kissed her gently at first but then it became more passionate.
I broke away for air and looked into her eyes.
"I love you Gabby, now and forever." I whispered.
"I love you too Seth, always."
I sat up and pulled her into my arms, she rested her head on my shoulder. I stared down at her and thought I could never bear to lose her, if anything ever happened to her I would go crazy.
"Gabby I don't want you to fight tomorrow."
"What?" she asked.
"I don't want you to fight. You are still a young wolf and I couldn't bear it if anything happened to you."
"But your fighting, do you think I'm just going to sit around and wait? I don't think so! If you're fighting then I'm fighting!"
"No!" I growled "I won't lose you. You will stay behind with Ryan and Mason (two new guys that had phased recently). I've already spoken to them and they've agreed."
"Seth! You can't control me! I will do whatever I want."
"No I can't but I can get Jake to if I have to. I've already spoken to him and he agrees with me."
She looked into my eyes and softened as she saw my concern and worry.
"Fine, but I'm making it known that I am going against my will. Oh and next time I'm fighting alongside you."
"I wouldn't have it any other way." I simply said.
We fell asleep in each other's arms. Sleep was well deserved for me but I was woken way too early by my phone ringing.
I reached over Gabby to get my phone off her bedside table.
"Hello." I answered groggily.
"Seth, its Jake. We're up, meet in the clearing straight away."
"Yep sure see you there."
Jake hung up. I looked over to see that Gabby was still fast asleep so I dialed Mason's number.
"Hello." He answered.
"Hey Mason, it's Seth. I got to leave now to go to the clearing. Can you come around to Gabby's to pick her up and take her to Emily's with you?"
"Yeah, sure dude. See ya in a minute."
I shut my phone and put it in my pocket. I started to shake Gabby lightly.
"Gabby, angel; I have to go now you need to wake up."
She stirred then looked up at me through her eyelashes. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen.
"You better get dressed; Ryan and Mason are coming over any second now." I told her.
Her eyes grew wide as she jumped out of bed and ran into her walk in closet.
I got up and stretched; I had a shirt on so I took it off and folded it up and put it on the end of Gabby's bed. I did this because it would be easier when I phase.
Gabby come out after getting changed just as Ryan and Mason walked into the house.
"Hey guys." I yelled out to them. "Be there in a second."
I looked at Gabby and hugged her tightly I pulled back and kissed her with as much passion as I held.
"I love you so much." I said as we broke apart.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I have to go now."
"Okay be careful. Come home to me." She said to me.
"I always will." I said.
Then with a heavy heart I turned around and ran out of her house, phasing as I reached the forest.
Thoughts and anticipation towards the fight filled my head.
'Hey Seth, get here quick Alice just saw that the Volturi are going to be here in 5 minutes.' Jake told me.
I sped up; it only took me a few seconds to get there.
The wolves stood in a semi-circle behind the Cullen's; everyone was in a defensive position ready to fight. I stood on Jake's left as he had Leah on his right.
It was only a few minutes before the Volturi arrived, walking slowly though they looked like they were floating along the ground.
Aro stepped forward first "Ciao amici" he spoke in Italian. (Hello friends.)
"Tu sei non amico" Carlisle replied coldly. (You are not my friend.)
"Mi dispiace Carlisle," Aro started (I'm sorry Carlisle)
"Can you guys please talk in English? Not everyone knows Italian."
Bella asked.
I was grateful; I had no idea what the hell they were saying.
"Sorry." Aro apologized "Carlisle, Renesmee is dangerous she must be destroyed."
Jake growled loudly making Aro jump and look at him, his eyes widened as he took in all the wolves. We all stood taller and growled slightly. He took a small step back.
"Renesmee is not dangerous and we have proof."Edward said.
"Oh yes and what is that Daddy?" Aro asked snidely.
"There are others like her that are living amongst us. They are not the least bit dangerous."
"I will believe it when I see it." Marcus said solemnly.
"Nahuel please come out." Edward said.
Nahuel walked forward, he was a half vampire that Alice and Jasper had come across whilst in South America not long ago.
"How is this possible?" Caius muttered.
"What is your diet like?" Aro asked suddenly.
"I eat mostly human food but I still need some blood."
"Mmm.......won't you give us a moment?" Aro asked as he motioned for everyone to follow him.
As they retreated, the wolves and I growled making our presence known.
Aro's eyes grew eyed once more as he took us in his sight.
As the Volturi crowded in a circle to talk about everything, I took the chance to call to see how Gabby was doing. I walked behind the trees and phased back pulling my phone out of my pocket.
I rang Mason and he picked up on the second ring,
"Yo!"
"Hey Mase its Seth, I just wanted to see how everything's going."
"Oh, everything's going great! Emily and Gabby just made us a heap of blueberry muffins."
"That's great." I said.
"Hey dude where'd she go?" I heard Ryan ask from the other end.
"I dunno she was right here, how the hell did you lose her?" Mason replied.
"If you guys have lost Gabby I will come over there and rip you to pieces." I growled.
"Nah Seth everything's cool. I'll see ya when you get back." Mason said before hanging up on me.
"Argh! I'll kill them!" I yelled.
Leah walked out from behind a tree.
"What's happened?" she asked.
"Gabby's gone, she left Ryan and Mason without them noticing." I said through my teeth.
"Well you can't deal with it now. We need you back out there."
"Okay coming." I said as I took of my pants and phased walking behind her.
The Volturi had finished their little talk and we standing before us once again.
"Well we have come to a decision. Taking in Nahuel and his nature and that Renesmee seems the same. We will leave this matter for now. But we will be watching closely." Aro said.
They started to retreat slowly we stared at them until they had completely vanished into the forest. We sighed as the Cullen's and their friends that they had recruited for the fight hugged and kissed each other in joy. We wolves slowly walked back into the trees then taking off to see our imprints, those who had one. Jake stayed with the Cullen's though. I ran at full speed to Emily's with Sam not far behind me. I phased back throwing on my pants as I ran in the door. Mason and Ryan were standing in the hall way arguing that is until they saw me.
"Hey Seth...." Ryan said nervously.
"Where is she?" I growled.
"Well funny story, we don't actually know."
"How the hell is that funny?" I growled once more.
"Uh I guess it's not." Mason answered.
I turned around and ran out of the house taking off my pants I phased and ran to Gabby's. I looked through her window she wasn't there; I looked in every other window too. She was nowhere in the house. I ran to my house thinking she may have gone there I phased back threw on my pants and ran into the house I checked every room leaving mine to last. I opened the door and Gabby was curled up on my bed with one of my t-shirts over the top of her clothes. She had her eyes closed and tears were running down her face. I walked over to the bed and sat down as soon as I did her eyes flew open.
"SETH!" she yelled as she hugged me tightly.
"Hey angel, what are you doing here?" I asked
"I missed you so much. I was so worried; I had to be close to you somehow."
"I missed you too." I sat her up and looked into her eyes.
I kissed her deeply with all the passion I have been holding in. I thought this is the moment. The perfect moment to ask her the biggest question I will ever ask.
I broke away from her,
"Nayeli." I said simply.
She looked at me.
"Gabby I love you with all my heart, you're my forever. I will never stop loving you." I slid off the bed and onto my knee pulling out the ring I had put in my pocket earlier knowing I just my need it today "Gabriella Jayne Harper, will you marry me?"
She sat looking at me with a shocked expression on her face. She suddenly realized she hadn't said anything.
"Of course!" she screamed as she jumped at me knocking me over onto the floor. She kissed every inch of my face.
"I love you." I said as I slid the ring onto her finger.
A/N: Nayeli means "I love you" in Quileute. Please review!
