"You came!" Lyle cheered.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"Well, I don't have him anymore. I let him got after I got the picture. I don't need a dog cluttering my house." Lyle told me.
"Can I leave?" I asked.
"First, I want to give you a tour of my home, and in exchange for your freedom you tell your family what this is like, and what happened that day." He said.
"I can't do that." I stuttered.
"Why not?" He asked.
"I'm not telling them what you did." I said and stepped back.
"Either that, or it's happening again later." He said and shrugged.
"Okay." I said and a tear dribbled down my face. He gave me a tour and there were rooms of torturous objects, he said some were for Summer, Jacob, and I. He had his hand on my shoulder, hair or back the whole time, and the rusty knife taping against my shoulder, and hugged me when it was over. I left scared and went home.
"Jacob." I said and hugged him when I got home.
"You went?" He asked.
"Yes." I said.
"I told him you wouldn't come he just smiled and said I was wrong." He said and hugged me closer.
"He said that I was free if I described the house to all of you and told everyone what happened that night. I said no, and he threatened to do it again, so now I have to do that. Is everyone home?" I asked.
"The Vulturi are here, but they aren't back from school. Can you do me a favor?" He asked.
"Not until you tell me what it is." I said.
"Can you take a shower, you smell like him and blood?" He asked.
"Yeah, but I'll need help." I said.
"Okay." He agreed. "They're expecting me back in soon, but I'll tell them I have to help you out." Jacob said and was gone. He came back a minute later. "They want to see your leg." He said and picked me up. I was too frightened from my visit and didn't object. He set me down inside.
"Hello, Renesmee." Marcus said politely.
"Hello." I said still thinking about what he said.
"We know what happened mostly. Carlisle told us what he knows. Would it be rude to ask if I could see the cut?" He asked.
"It's fine." I said and lifted my dress just far enough to show them.
"What happened at Lyle's house?" Marcus asked. I swallowed.
"Lyle was really happy to see me, he said that he let Jacob go because he didn't need a dog taking up space. He told me that I wasn't free to go unless I toured his house, described it to everyone, and told everyone what happened that night. He took me through his house, and had his hand always on either my shoulder, back or hair and used his other hand to tap the knife he showed everyone at lunch against my other shoulder. He showed me a hallway with ash covering the floors and some vampire and human heads mounted on the walls. He showed me a room that he said was dedicated to Summer, Jake and I. It was filled with rusty tools, knifes, and yard equipment. He showed me a room with a queen sized bed and said that that would be my room once he got all the murdering coven of evil vampires that call themselves a family, puppies, stupid tower vegetables, and crazies out of the way. His words, not mine. He took me outside hugged me and sent me home." I said.
"Did he hurt you today?" Marcus asked.
"No." I said.
"What happened the other night?" Marcus asked and I looked down.
"I couldn't find parking on one side of the drugstore, so I went around and went through an alley. He put his hand over my mouth, and I dialed Daddy, because I knew he wouldn't pick up in the middle of class, I needed to get information, and I wasn't sure how bad of condition I would be in when he was done. I pried his hand off my mouth and yelled Daddy to try and get his attention, and he told me he couldn't hear me and slammed me into the ground as hard as he could without knocking me out, and took out a video camera aimed it at me and turned it on. I asked him who he was and he asked me if I knew who James was. I lied and said no. He asked me who my dad was, and sat down on my legs. I told him to get off of me, and he told me to answer him." I paused when everyone that was at school came in.
"Continue." Marcus said.
"I answered his other question avoiding telling him about my family and told him my husband told me about him. He asked who he was so I said a werewolf. He asked me if my dad killed James and I lied and said Jacob didn't tell me. He took out a knife, slashed my leg, and pressed it on my neck. He asked me what was wrong, and I told him to get the knife off of me. He took the knife away and moved it to my stomach. I told him no and he ripped my skirt open, and I started crying." I stopped I couldn't go on. My phone rang, and I didn't recognize the number. I took my phone out. "Hello?" I asked.
"Honey, I said the whole story. Alice is next." Lyle said.
"No." I whimpered.
"I can have a crazy bring the tape over." He threatened and laughed.
"Lyle, no. What do you get out of this?" I asked and Jacob looked at me when I said Lyle.
"Well, this is my game. James stole it, just like he stole my girlfriend. I was going to kill him." Lyle said.
"What? Your game? Your girlfriend? Why does this matter if you were going to kill him anyway?" I asked.
"I started with little Alice in the asylum. James took her. Victoria was mine, and he took her too." He said angrily.
"What? Alice?" I said and my lip was quivering.
"I was the one that put her in that asylum! She never had visions! She wasn't crazy! I told her parents and everyone and bang bye, bye Alice." He said and laughed.
"Those stupid tower vegetables will catch you and your crazies!" I yelled.
"Will they kill Alice for being my sister?" He asked and I dropped the phone and froze.
"Honey? You there?" He yelled. "See you soon! I'll have fun!" He yelled and hung up.
"Renesmee?" Alice asked.
"Lyle, and James, are your brothers. Lyle got you put in the asylum." I said and started shaking.
"What?" She asked.
"Renesmee, will you finish?" Marcus asked.
"I can't." I said.
"Why can't you?" He asked as I picked up my phone. My phone buzzed again.
"What?" I yelled into it.
"Hey, it's my Lyle. How do you want me to kill the kids?" He asked, and I started crying. "Chainsaw it is." He said.
"You are a psychopath who needs a life! If you touch my kids…" I said and he cut me off.
"You'll what?" He asked.
"Leave me alone. You've already ruined my life enough." I yelled.
"I'm not out to hurt you, it's your daddy I'm after. He will regret everything he's ever done." He said and laughed.
"Raping me wasn't enough you son of a bitch?" I yelled. "When will you stop?" I asked and started crying. Jacob took the phone.
"Hello." He said calmly. I couldn't hear the other half of the conversation. "Touch Renesmee again and I won't be so nice." He said calmly and waited. "Oh, my friends and I killed Laurent." He informed him. "Over my dead body" He laughed. "I know some guys that are going to help. They love when they have a reason to kill a filthy bloodsucker like you." He said and smiled. "That won't work for me. Can you kill me another day? I have better things to do than see you that day." Jacob said and Daddy smiled. "I'll take two." Jacob said and I acted confused. "You better get rid of those." He said and paused. "Don't." He said. "She doesn't…" "But…" "Why…?" "Love you too." He said sarcastically and hung up.
"What happened to you after he did that to you?" Jacob asked.
"He smiled at me. I spat on him, and he told me I was the easiest to kill, and I begged him not to. He called me cute and said he would save me. He said it was just a warning, and picked up a wooden baseball bat from behind me, stepped on my leg and swung at my stomach. I said he punched me before, because I didn't want to tell you. He kissed me, and left. I told daddy where I was, and I went in and out of consciousness until he came back a half an hour after he was done, and saw my eyes open, and choked me until I was knocked out." I said and looked down. "Can I take a shower now?" I asked.
"Okay." Marcus said and Jacob and I left. He helped me take a shower, and then we took a nap. We woke up, got dressed and went to the house.
"How much did you leave out?" Alice asked holding up a DVD. "Don't worry, nobody else saw it." She said.
"I didn't leave out a lot." I said. She walked over behind me, and lifted up the back of the t-shirt I was wearing. I knew what she was seeing. He had made shallow cuts on my back. I pulled my shirt down and left. I got in the car and drove to his house. I got out and went up to the door and knocked.
"This ends now." I said.
