A/N : Welcome back readers...I must say I'm quite satisfied with the response I got. So I'm posting this like super early. Here you'll see why Demetri has graced the grounds of Forks and a little surprise, which you may or may not like. I'm sure majority of you won't but don't jump to conclusions already. The story demands it. Also this is not my best chapter as I struggled to pen down my thoughts. It is merely a filler before the drama kicks in next chapter onwards.
Don't hate me for such a sudden twist in Jacob's thoughts. I hope you guys will be generous and keep an open mind. I promise the story will be based on native instincts and the true stuff Meyer has written. It won't be as it seems like.
Much heartfelt thanks to Taurus Pixie , Guest , alicelover520 , HummingBird and Not-that-kinda-gurl ( for former chapters) for reviewing and favoriting the story.
Go ahead, enjoy Jacob's inner turmoil. Happy reading!
Chapter 25
Ambassadors from Abroad
JPOV
It certainly was hard to bear a separation of long 14 hours from her after living together for a fraction of month, at least thats what it seemed like. She felt like an absolute necessity for my survival. My need for her consumed me in amass of burning flame when she was off to VampLand.
Never in a million years would I have guesses her true identity. Not only hers but also theirs. Vampires. Hybrids. A year ago I would have laughed at these fictional terms but today my world pretty much revolved around one.
Initially it had come as a shock. I seriously thought she was joking but the somber looks on her unflawed face said otherwise. It was then I realized she was not fooling around. She was speaking the truth about her existence. It had been the moment of now or never.
Born on the borderline of two distinct species, created out of love and carried out of insane affection. There was always something or the other different about her, unique it was. . . . . raw passion, undeclared love, immaculate compassion, qualities that were rare for a conflicted teenager.
The revelation of her being a half vampire did arise some issues, regarding us and the Cullens. I don't know how she did what she did but she kept an equilibrium on both pans of the balance. Ironic. She's been doing that for 16 years now.
I should have been scared of her, frightened in her very presence and afraid of her giving me death kisses, I wasn't, not in the least bit. Against the human instincts and in consonance with my instincts I was drawn to her like a moth to flame. Both metaphorically and figuratively. She was the shining bright jewel while I was an average from the crowd of billions. The difference reminded me of best seller novels. Yet it was different.
Her move back to Casa de Cullen had been profound and uneasy. For days my bed looked too vast without her nearby. Bless the technology, we could stay in touch forever.
"You okay man?" A deep voice called out to me from my dreamland with a tap. I turned around to see Embry looking at me anxiously, like something was bothering him. His hand on my shoulder was like a red hot brand iron pressed down with external force, thats how it felt.
For the past week, Embry had been acting a little. . . . . off. he would snap at the littlest of things or would just cut off from everyone. His agitation, anger and umbrage heightened tenfold in Nessie's presence but his adrenaline pumped spirits numbed down in mine or when her and I were together. Nessie was worried about him just as much as I was, primarily because all of a sudden he lost interest in R-rated stuff. He was a carefree guy and I suspected he was taking drugs but Nessie assured me he was clean.
Camilla's presence, however, tranquilized his inexplicable turbulence which solely gave him an excuse to stick around her. Good thing was, David didn't mind at all. He was more than compliant to help him while he was on a rough page.
I noticed he had gained height, he was almost as tall as I was, but not quite close. he childish trebles and innocence in his face were quickly fading off to more defined and sharper looks. And one thing most peculiar was his abnormally hot body temperature. It wasn't always as hot as it was today but kept fluctuating.
"Are you okay? You hands are burning." I touched his forehead and sure enough, he was running a high fever more than 104 F.
"Holy shit Embry. You need to see a doctor." He looked uneasy, uncomfortable as he fidgeted with his fingers and his color was draining. "Come on. I'll take you."
"Yeah. . . . . I'll just. . . . ." Almost as fast as Nessie, he bolted out of the building.
"Embry." I yelled, chasing after him but he was long gone.
Strange. What was happening these days?
I felt her before I saw her. She was very sensitive. I whirled around just as she flung herself, clutching onto my arm for support.
"Miss me?" I started playfully but fell in a state of concern observing her ghostly paleness. "Baby? Whats wrong? Are you okay?" She nodded but wouldn't utter a single word.
"Ness? Now you're scaring me." She gripped on tighter than usual and refused to let go. "You wanna get out of here?" She nodded again and continued to peek around incredulously almost attempting to hide me as we walked to the car. I caught a glimpse of Camilla and David and tried to move that way but she wouldn't let me.
"Oh for heaven's sake Ness. You won't speak to me neither would you let go of me. Will you just tell me whats going on?"
Drawing in a deep breath she whispered, "I'll show you." Tugging at my hand she dragged me to a narrow dark alley by the school premises. And I couldn't help but notice the urgency in her movements as she led me further in to somewhere where we couldn't be noticed from a distance.
Before I could even blink or open my mouth to ask her of her ulterior motives, she was over me with vamp speed and fluidity and had me up against the wall with her mouth on mine, kissing hungrily, passionately, moaning and whimpering. The sudden flow of charge snapped me out of the questioning daze and I started reciprocating her actions.
With single-handed effort I reversed our positions and now it was her against the wall, caged under my evil clouded notions, at my mercy. I dipped my head down and once again let my lips catch hers, causing myself a lot of restrain, so uncomfortable and painful I had to let go.
Almost immediately, she let out a protesting groan, her hands reaching out to grab a hold of me, eyes still closed from the nebulous haze. She whimpered again and I took pity on her. Locking her slender curvy waist, I hoisted her up and pressed her with the help of my torso, raising her to my level and her feet supporting on my thighs.
Her neck craned forth to meet me halfway but I wasn't having it. Tentatively with deliberate caution I leaned forth and just brushed my lips past hers slowly. She tried to hold on but I was long gone. Her cry of objection broke out and I immediately silenced her, muffling her cries.
"Shh." I said against her lips. Slowly I dragged my lips to the curves of her mouth and variantly pressed, applying more pressure. Her lust driven impatience caused her to turn her head and catch my lips but I moved back before she could. My lips traced down her jugular, to her neck, past her turn on button, below her ear, down her collarbone ending where the neckline of her tank top started. She seemed to have got my message and didn't try to wriggle own her neck or accidentally notify me she wanted me up to her level. I smirked against her creamy white skin.
Vampire finally worked out the equation, huh?
I made my way back to her plumpy pouty lips, ghosting a mere peck which seemed to have crazied her conscience. I decided I had enough of teasing her and crashed my lips onto hers which resulted her to gasp and shudder. The raw quality in our dynamism was purely instinctual. Our mouths worked in accordance to their will and obliquely accommodated others'.
Sometime while we were full on making out, roaring thunders started from the everyday dull sky. And soon it was pouring buckets, drenching and soaking us wet, sweet rain drops mixing with her delicious taste.
Slowly I eased her down on the sloshy wet concrete, all the while slowing down my speedy actions. Finally I pulled away from her enticing mouth with swollen lips, tempting me to latch on once more and enslave her to my wishes. But I had better self-control than that and very finely refrained my urges.
Her hands clinched onto my shirt that was now dripping. I supposedly dazed her logic and judgement with my 'enchanting kisses' as she's once told me. I smirked knowing the effect I could cast upon her with my mere signature heart stopping smile, another thing she'd acquainted me with, her words not mine.
Who knew? Jacob from Smallville Forks could affect the most beautiful hybrid to walk the earth? I chuckled and earned myself a glare through brown-rimmed eyes.
"Stupid masculine charm." She muttered and I laughed out loud, hearing her mutters despite the rambunctious sounds of rain.
"Come on. We need to get outta the rain." I grabbed her hand and all but dragged her to the parking lot regardless of the now haggard weather.
I felt her hold on me tighten once more and her steps halt when her name was heard being called out by a never heard before voice.
"Renesmee?" Astonishment along with a sense of hopeful reconciliation coated that particular voice and if anything she tensed up even more. I scurried a protective stance over my naive love and ticked her to my side.
I was met by an extremely pale skin hoisting brownish blonde hair that was spiked up. He was tall, nearly about 6'3", dressed up casually that made him look quite handsome for some eyes and threatening others. But that wasn't the worst part. It was his eyes that ignited fear in the trembling angel beside me.
They were shining bright, a deep shade of blood curdling red. That wasn't a good sign. It meant he was one of the vampires. But it also meant he was the non-friendly vamp whose aura spoke tales of uncanny deaths and experience.
"Renesmee Cullen?" That blonde bimbo tried talking to her again and I was scared. Not for myself but for her. How did he know her? Was he an acquaintance, an ally or a threat I should be worried about?
The way he looked at her was, however, sort of complacent at some level. It wasn't the I'm-the-vampire-you're-my-prey type of look. It was more of a friendly amiable look, the one you give to your long lost valued friend.
Nessie was a different story though. She looked absolutely shaken tot he core and was trembling like a leaf in my arms. She eyed him warily, almost deliberately as if afraid of an unknown force. Together, their reactions petrified and baffled me and I, for once, was at a loss of words even though it wasn't my place to say anything. Nessie saved the day feigning fake delight and true shock.
"Demetri?" She asked, somewhat cynically. "What are you doing here?"
"Hello to you too." He snorted, rolling his eyes. I had a feeling I was gonna hate this guy as long as I remembered him. His reply had been a little rude considering the assumed fact they were meeting after a long period.
"Hello Demetri." She spat back, a little offended.
"How fortunate I am to have ever crossed paths with you, sweetling. How's life been treating you, if I may ask?" He asked with genuine timber.
"Essentially well. Dare I ask what brings you by to the dreary Forks?" Damn this girl. One minute she was shaking in fear, the other irritated and now conversing with authentic interest. Now I felt out of the loop.
"Just checking on my friends. I haven't seen them in ages." What friends? Cullens? Not likely. Humans? I was not sure if any vampires lived in the area.
"How's everything in Volterra?"
"Not a variation to report Ma'am." Nessie rolled her eyes with a hint of smile at her reference. "Needed an absolute change in the background and characters, here I stand."
"So are you going to introduce me to your friend or shall I make myself known already?" He smiled at her suggestively and it was then I figured out. He loved her. Simple as that. And at some point in her life, Nessie loved him back. The very thought made me growl and a smoldering flame licked my skin. But I had to remind myself I was the one she loved now. She loved ME, not HIM. Now that was comforting.
"Jake, this is Demetri, an old family friend. And Demetri, this is Jake, my friend." Friend? Thats all I was to her? Wow! Burnished red flashed before my eyes and preternatural heat paralysed my senses. I felt I was going to explode and burst open.
What was wrong? This was very unlikely of me to get territorial over such inane things. Get a grip Jake! I thought.
"Nice to meet you. It certainly is pleasurable to see someone from her life past Forks. She likes to keep it concealed." I don't know what came over me when I spoke those words aloud. Whatever this unearthly feeling was, I hoped it would go away. It was staring to feel uncomfortable and suffocating.
"Pleasure's all mine Jake. Renesmee has a bad habit of keeping things." He replied, eyeing her skeptically and I pulled her closer.
"My My Baby Cullen is all grown up, finally out of her shell. Wonder what Mommy and Daddy think of it?" This time I couldn't bite back my growl and snarled at him stupidly. Amusedly, his gaze wandered in my direction, probably wondering and laughing at my stupidity.
"How do you know David and Camilla?" Nessie voiced her concern. Wait what? David and Camilla? Where did they fit in? And then I remembered the duo standing and chatting with him. Nessie must've noticed this too.
"I've known them for long before time, for an eternity." HolyfuckingShit! His statement directly implied to immortality. His words were chosen so as to convey the message to her only, but I had been on this lil secret and I knew. Camilla and David were allied with a vampire, a dangerous one he appeared. This leech must've done some voodoo magic on them and they befriended him, oblivious to the danger they had put themselves in.
Unless they weren't.
If my assumptions were anywhere near correct, then David and Camilla weren't fully human. Either they must be a hybrid like Nessie or some other mutant because eternity was a long time to be human.
"Don't worry Princess. It is virtually impossible for me to cause them any harm. And with that he took off in the rain leaving us alone to ourselves. Wordlessly I drove us to my newly opened garage, stopping at my house for change of clothes and inquired her about the whole ordeal.
"He's. . . . . a friend." She stuttered, looking out of the window.
"I'm not too sure. You're lying."
"Ok. Here;s the thing. He courted me when I was twelve but nothing ever happened between us. Surely he loved me and I may have developed less than platonic feelings but he left me for, for his loyalty. We never saw each other again." She breathed out, biting down on her manicured nails.
"And your parents were okay with his sudden departure?" I breathed in deeply, trying to fight the invisible blaze burning me alive.
"Its not like they gave a damn but they weren't distinctly opposed to him. If anything, it increased my safety tenfold because Demetri's really powerful." I unknowingly gritted my teeth and stomped my foot on the gas pedal.
He's powerful and efficacious in vampire terminology and omnipotent for all Lord knows. I was a damn human for crying out loud. What defense, what forever could I endeavour her with my ephemeral existence? We were worlds apart. I could never be enough for her to be with her. There was absolutely nothing I could offer her with my human self. I was merely a helpless fragile teenager, a prey in her world to be around with and be fed on. I couldn't transcend vampires because I was vulnerable and always at a risk of being injured.
"Relax Jake. There was nothing between us." Her warm hand patted my shoulder, grazing the jacket I donned with a feather touch and suddenly an idea struck chord with me. Damn me for not giving this a thought a before.
People weren't born vampires. They were created, out of sheer passion, everlasting love or merely a vengeance. And thats what I would become if I affirmed to stay with her. Yes. Vampire was the only alternative I could opt to secure our future. Everything would settle then. Her family would be bound to accept us and we'd be fine. Well as fine as everything was allowed to be.
I didn't fill her in about my stray plans. I needed to be certain of a few things first. I would talk to Carlisle as soon as possible and would have to vouch Dad's and Rach's future and learn to say goodbye. I wasn't planning on becoming a vampire straight-away. I had time but still, that time wasn't enough.
I pulled up at the Garage and admired the empire I had created. Early mornings and late evenings were spent here.
Inside every last one of my employee was busy working on cars, attending phone calls and filing papers. The place was bustling.
"I'll be in your office." She quickly kissed my cheek and skipped to the glass building that served as my office, a generous gift from Camilla and David. That building which Nessie had spotted sometime during September was apparently mine where her and I spent our time working on homework or just chilling out. The Black's Auto Garage had become my second home.
"David didn't check in today Boss." Connor, an excellent employee who also happened to be the manager informed me.
"Thats okay. He's busy today." With that Demetri. A bitter taste foamed in my mouth at his name. Why hangout with fragile human when you have vampire romeo? David had invested in the Garage a great deal and helped me start out. He and I dealt with management of the Garage and other important issues while Camilla handled the financial funds and Nessie took up on herself for the employment and advertisement stuff. Together, four of us worked as a team.
"How long with ThiBault's Ford take?" Yes. The very same pedophile ThiBault from Forks High.
"I don't know boss. This one seems a little stubborn." I quickly analysed every minute and gigantic detail of its mechanism and within seconds find out the fault in the Ford.
"Try resetting the check engine light, it has come on." I made rounds to each one, inquiring them of their progress and felt an immense surge of satisfaction I could provide for these people. I could improve their living standards and provide them with opportunities most teenagers lost due to lack of resources. Quileute Council and my Dad particularly were happy with my decision.
Eventually I wandered back to my lavish office in the glass palace. Nessie was engrossed in her homework, sitting on my barcelona couch, with books sprawled almost everywhere and feet dangling on the stylish imported rug. She was writing furiously when I took a seat beside her.
"Hey babe."
"Oh hey, you're back."
"Hmm you don't seem to appreciate it though." I mock=frowned. Closing her textbooks, she crawled in my lap and greeted me as I liked her to. We were all lips and tongues and kisses and hands. She was all over me and I was all over her. Quickly I was becoming hard. I needed to put a barrier on things before they could venture in the danger zone. With Nessie's sex drive beginning to make an appearance I had to be extra careful. I pulled away with a smirk,knowing she was in a daze.
"One of these days I might just become paralyzed with the torment of raging notions." She breathed out as I pulled her upto her feet. "Where are we going?"
"Somewhere I used to run off to escape the mayhem in my life." There was a hint of question in her eyes but that didn't stop me from taking her to my personal heaven. But she didn't voice her doubts and tagged along. That was one of the many things I absolutely loved about her. She never reacted on instinct or compliance to a single perspective.
"We're walking?" She asked as we neared the forest line. I simply nodded and lead the path. I had been planning this for quite sometime but every opportunity slid out of my grasp. Today seemed a good day to put her mind on ease and indirectly interrogate her about the crucial.
"What happened this afternoon? Why were you shaking?"
"Thats nothing. Just my irrational fears resurfacing to reality." She shrugged ducking below a low hanging branch.
"You seem to get along with freaky eyes just fine." I said as a matter of fact-ly.
"Demetri. Yeah. We get on just fine. Or used to." Her eyes darkened as she replied.
"What changed? You said something about loyalty?"
"Vampire duties. Thats what changed the picture. He belongs to his guard back in Volterra." Her head shook sadly at the though of a memory uncalled for.
"Duties?"
"Talented vampires are given a position in the Council in Volterra. The higher and applicable their talents are, the more valuable they become. They gain certain duties and obligations. And the worst part is, they can't ever refute a practice or disagree with the leaders. They are bound to do what they're told and they can't quit or resign."
"I thought vampires chilled out for an eternity?"
"Fitting in vampire community has never been easy."
"What is it like being a vampire?" There all said and now I'd be acquiesced with the perks and drawbacks.
"Conflicted complications arise. Everything heightens considerably. What you feel, you think, becomes more defined. Anger becomes rage. Sorrow becomes despair and grief. A small friendship evolves to a true bonding. Benevolent nature suddenly morphs to malevolence. Dislike takes the shape of hate and passion flavours evrything.
You start giving thoughts to the minutest details. Many over-analyse things and jump to conclusions. They think they're right because they are a superior race, gifted ones even more so. All logic and coherence loose reason in vampire mind. A vampire sure reflects his human but only a mere shadow of what they once had been. People change on becoming vampires." Wow! That was a lot to consider and ponder on.
"Sounds like you lived through this." She sighed and grabbed my hand.
"Nope. I live with eight vampires, remember? Now where is your damned runaway spot?" And with that, we're out of the danger zone without her suspecting my ever growing need to be a part of what was hers.
"We're almost there." We arrived at the secluded beauty shortly five minutes later. Everything was just as I'd remembered. The high bordering cliffs, the willows and pines, the breathtaking waterfall, the babbling river and the arched bridge across the river that had been demolished by force of natural calamities but fit as a puzzle piece in the picturesque scenery. The water was falling as loud as ever, and the river appeared hues of pinks and oranges and reds just as the sun began to hide back behind the majestic altitudes.
"Oh my god. This is so beautiful." She gasped, covering her mouth. "Its like straight from a fairytale."
"Well your highness demands nothing less, if not this scenic beauty. This place goes well with you." I complimented ticking her hair behind her ear.
"How d'you find this. . . . this extravagant piece of nature?"
"I discovered it on one of many hiking trips I used to take when I was young.
"This is surreal. Its seems like a painting perfected to levels much above perfection. I . . . . " She stopped short, suddenly too occupied admiring the glade situated in the heart of forest. Her heightened beauty matched the environment with such perfection she seemed to belong the seclusion she was engrossed drinking in. If only I had her microscopic vision and an ascertain abilities I'd see a whole new world. The simple greens would differentiate to brilliant jades and olives, the planes of her face would define sharply multiplying her beauty exponentially and the world would come alive.
This lifestyle was certainly tempting but sacrificing too. With the advantages I also had to consider drawbacks. Tonight I was going to Carlisle with my considerations and decisions. And I sincerely hoped he'd understand my viewpoint too.
We stayed by the waterfall till the dusk settled to a calm night and said our byes to the wonderland. I could read it on her face how despondent she was to leave but I promised her weekends of natural settlement. And with that said her grin plastered onto her flawless visage and she chattered on and on about literature and garage to school and family and to everything else. I noticed how animated her voice became when she spoke of her and her mother's love for classic english tales. She told me how she wanted to write a few pages worth something but always chickened out when handing her creation for assessment.
"Oh for the love of God Ness! Your imagination/, your creativity and vocabulary are the only assets you require to create a masterpiece. I'm sure whatever you'll write would be a hit if you ever published it. I've seen those essays in English. You're a terrific writer." I assured her one last time as we cornered in to the Cullen driveway.
"You're just biased Jake. I'm not sure if I can trust your judgement." She wiggled her eyebrows at me in the cutest manner known possible. "I smell Esme cooking dinner. Why don't you come inside and give me some company?" She suggested after taking a whiff. I was a die hard fan of Esme's cooking but some issues needed to be taken care of.
"Some other night Ness." I quickly pecked her mouth and her forehead before discreetly slipping towards Seattle. The road flew under David's vanquish I had borrowed until Christmas. I was going to buy myself an Escalade or a Lamborghini. I don't know which one, I was confused between the two.
"Hey old man."
"Jake. Hey. Wasn't expecting to see you around." He looked so much better than before. Carlisle had surely done wonders on him. He looked healthy as a horse and his voice never once faltered or stumbled, it was quite steady.
"You ready to head back home?" I asked taking a seat beside him.
"More than ready. These calm shades have started to give me a headache." I laughed recalling the time I'd been complaining about the same thing.
"Carlisle says I can move back this weekend." I stopped short, double taking a glance at him for he had never been the one to call a Cullen by name or let alone not grimace at their reference. Not Carlisle, not Esme, not Nessie, absolutely nobody from their clan.
"Dad are you okay?"
"Yeah why?"
"You just called Carlisle by his name which happens to be a rare occasion. As fas as I'm concerned, Billy Black doesn't do rare." He chuckled along with me and it felt good to see him smiling without any pain.
"I realized he's not the bad guy. Why deteriorate someone's reputation?"
"Has Rachel been visiting?"
"Yeah. She has. Jake?"
"Hmm?"
"Tomorrow could you check on Embry please?"
"Sure thing. Now go to sleep." There was an air of unease in his eyes as he settled back in the covers and I switched off the lights. It was infrequent occasion for him to be uncomfortable or act weird. Something was bothering him. His excitement to go home was very conspicuous. What was back home that had him so jumpy? And since when did he start keeping tabs on Embry? Something was going on, this little battalion of elders on the Council was starting to attract a lot of attention. Whatever it was, it couldn't be hidden forever. And I will make sure nothing out of the ordinary was going on, it was moral duty to my tribe and my people.
But before anything else and above everything I had to see Carlisle and speak to him about my possibilities to adjusting to vampirism.
I arrived at the second level and saw vampire romeo leaving Doc's office with a satisfied on his damned face. His eyes literally lit up on seeing me approaching the very place he had been.
"Well well well, if it isn't the overprotective nerd." He started.
"Hey romeo. What are you doing here?"
"Paying a little visit to Renesmee's family head. After all, we're from the same community. Speaking of which, what are you doing here?" He sneered with an unknowing smile.
"Same reason. Didn't expect to see you here though." I played along coolly, not giving him the satisfaction/ of intimidating me.
"I shall not keep you any longer then. See you around Jacob." He nodded and shook my head warmly or rather coldly. He had the same icy touch as Esme and I shivered slightly feeling the cold percolate in my warmth before the blaze of invisibility consumed me. I've been having this weird sensation for past few weeks and it was starting to annoy and worry me.
I opened the door to his office rather quietly and saw him examining some X-rays. Did he have to do that? Didn't he have like the super freaky piercing vision?
"Hello Jaocb. Please come inside." He greeted in his normal voice he used at home. Right. We didn't need to be formal.
"Hello Carlisle."
"Please take a seat Jacob." I did, feeling utterly and uncommonly conscious and uncomfortable. "Billy's vitals are improving. Seems he'd be spending Christmas at home after all." He smiled genuinely and I couldn't help but think how kind and compassionate he was. He didn't exhibit that I'm-better-race-than-you looks.
"Thank you Doc. You don't know what your support means to me."
"There's a favor I need to ask you though."
"Go ahead. I'd be glad."
"Considering all the facets of the favor I'm about to demand you may get a little apprehensive but I really need to do this." He nodded his head with fluid ease, motioning for me to proceed with my request, of which he didn't have the slightest idea.
"You know I'm well acquainted all of secretive/ existence. And I'm also well aware of the fact Nessie would be around for an eternity which leaves me with no choice but one."
"I wish to be changed to a vampire." I finished looking him straight in his honeyed orbs. There was an understanding dawning on his face, as he processed through my words. But there was also shock/ and unexpectancy coloring his face. I could read the tremors of question in his eyes regarding mine and Nessie's committment but he wisely didn't give them voice. To summarise in a word, he was conflicted.
Finally he spoke in a composed and non-chalant tone, "Have you any idea the extent of what you're requesting?" It was then the poker face kicked in and I couldn't possibly comprehend his unspoken views. I couldn't tell if he was disappointed or angry or anything else, just pure flat empty tonation, dead.
"I do Sir and I've decided I want this life after much thought."
"You do understand how the course of your actions would alter Renesmee's life?"
"This vouches an everlasting lifetime with her. She wouldn't have to feel out of place ever again." I stated an engraved truth. She felt out of step always though she never talked of her insecurities. I could read her like an open book.
"Are you sure of the sacrifce you'd have to make?"
"Yes."
"Jacob, your choice will have consequences, disastrous ones. I cannot let that happen."
"Why not? I'll be the one to cause and endure them. You wouldn't have to feel any guilt on my part." I reasoned.
"The dire choice you're making is not a boon but bane. You're young. You don't fully understand the path you're choosing in the blindfolds of your passion with my granddaughter."
"I've never been sure of anything else more."
Eventually Carlisle got convinced of my decisions by my unwavering confidence. He agreed to change me only if Nessie didn't raise any objection. He even seem amused at my excitement. Whatever that may be, it was set. This summer would be like no other. I'd be seeing a whole new world with brand new vision and let go of my indecision.
A/N : Thanks for sparing me your precious time. Let me know what you think of Jacob's thoughts!
