Chapter twenty four- sweet revenge and bitter regret
Renesmee POV
.
I heard the whistle of air as the bomb sailed through the air toward me, I neatly dodged it just as it collided with a tree and showered its contents all over anyone standing too close.
"Jesus Ness stay still so I can hit you," Paul called out to me.
"Not a chance," I answered dodging another water bomb that came from Seth.
"Watch it Seth, we're on the same team remember."
"Sorry Ness I was aiming for Jake and you can't really blame me for nearly hitting you when he's trying to hide behind you."
I spun round and found Jake standing just behind me. I raised and eyebrow, a smirk coming across my face as he started whistling and trying to look innocent.
I watched as another water bomb flew towards us, I leapt up neatly plucking it from the air and bringing it down on Jake's head.
"Teach you to try and hide behind me Mr," I laughed.
"It is soooo hot," Hayden moaned coming to distract Jake from me.
"I can help with that," I said grabbing the bucket of water out of Jared's hands as he walked past.
"Don't you-" Hayden began.
I turned the bucket upside down over her head. The water splashed over her pretty little head and ran down her pretty little face.
The look on her face made me feel kind of good in a bad way.
"Better?" I asked sweetly.
"You are so dead!" she hissed.
"Not unless you can catch me," I sang as I scrambled up a nearby tree, stealing the water pistol Jared had just found to replace his stolen bucket of water, on my way up the tree.
"Jesus Christ Renesmee! Stop stealing my things!" He called after me annoyed.
"Sorry Jared."
Now I just had to wait.
"Can I borrow that?" I heard Hayden say. "Thanks."
I heard her grunt as she tried pulling herself up onto the first branch of my tree, I leaned back resting against the trunk of the tree with my legs stretched out along a thick branch. I'd be waiting a while so I might as well get comfy; where I was sitting was at least thirty metres off the ground and Hayden was having trouble getting one metre of the ground.
I needed water bombs.
I quickly jumped from the tree, propelling myself off branches as they flew up towards me. Lucky the tree was thick so Hayden wouldn't see me evacuating it.
My feet hit the ground and I sprinted over to the tap on the side of the Clearwater's house where Seth was filling up water bombs. I grabbed the red bucket he was putting them in and ran back up to my branch.
Hayden had made it about ten metres up now and was swearing because she broke her fingernail.
"Aw did poor lil Hay break her fingernail?" I asked in a baby voice.
"Shut up Cullen!"
"I'll make it easier for you," I said. "I shall come down two branches." I jumped down two branches and settled myself back down.
Was it a mistake to give up? Leah had told me that when I woke up from my random sleep Jake had been planning on telling me how he really felt but I'd told him I was going to accept him as a brother before he got a chance. Did that mean that if I had kept my mouth shut I'd have him right now?
"Why thanks," she said sarcastically. "Much better."
"No problem, anytime."
Hayden swore and started shaking her foot about.
"I have a word of advice. Don't let go of the tree or you will fall," I told her.
"Na shit Sherlock," she hissed.
"Whatever, just trying to give you some helpful tips."
"Leave me alone," she muttered.
"I don't think you really do want me to leave you alone," I teased.
"Yeah? What makes you think that?"
"Because if you wanted me to leave you alone so badly you wouldn't have chased me up a tree."
"Whatever." She continued climbing in silence.
What did she honestly think she was going to do if she managed to reach me without falling out of the tree and killing herself? She did realise that she had no chance of beating me in our war didn't she. Well I didn't even know. Maybe Jake did love her more than he loved me-
I had to stop thinking like this!
I climbed down slowly –water bombs and pistol still in hand- and landed on a branch just as Hayden reached up to pull herself up onto it.
She grunted as she heaved her body up then gave a little squeal of surprise when she saw me. "Jesus!"
"No it's just me," I assured her before swinging myself back up a few branches.
Time for some fun.
I grabbed the biggest water bomb I could find out of the bucket and let it drop straight down over the side of my branch.
Hayden didn't see it until a second before it hit her, breaking on top of her bright red hair. She screamed and leapt backwards to try to avoid getting hit and to make matters worse for her she was now falling.
I tipped the water bomb bucket upside down so all the water and water bombs fell out and rained down on Hayden as she fell then settled back down on the branch and waited for her to hit something and go splat everywhere.
I would like to say I did do that –whoa that's a really horrible thought! - but I didn't, instead I leapt down and caught her just before she hit a rather large and hard looking branch.
"I told you what would happen if you let go but did you listen? No. Your just lucky I'm so fast and strong and willing to save your life, which by the way is what I just did."
"Whatever," she muttered as I set her on her feet on the ground. She mumbled something else unintelligible and stormed off after everyone else.
"Ungrateful!" I mumbled.
Wow! I just did a good deed by saving the life of the person I hate most in the world.
"You coming Ness?" Jake called. I looked up and my heart skipped a beat when I saw his smile.
I nodded not trusting myself to speak. No boy had ever made me feel this way; made me want to cry just because he smiled at me. No boy had ever broken my heart like Jacob had either.
"What were you two doing?" He asked putting a large brown arm around Hayden and I. I saw Hayden scowl and smiled inwardly. "Looks like you were having a bit of a war," he said noting how wet Hayden was.
You have no idea, I thought.
"She threw water bombs at me," Hayden pouted.
"Aw poor Hay," Jake said in a baby voice. "You got awl wet did you?"
She glared at him and he turned his face away from her smirking.
Jake reached froward to move a branch out of our way as we headed into the forest.
"Let me," Hayden said happily as she raced forward and held it back as Jake passed she stood still tapping her foot waiting for me to pass and just as I was about to she stepped out of the way and continued walking letting the branch snap back to hit me.
I instantly ducked as the branch sliced through the air where my head had been then sprang back to hit Hayden hard in the back of the head. She let out a cry of pain as the branch launched her through the air to land face first in the dirt.
I shoved my fist in my mouth to keep from laughing as Jake hurried over to her.
"You okay?" Jake asked worried as she groaned and rolled over onto her back.
Hayden opened her eyes –which had been screwed shut- and when she saw the smirk on my face she sat up slowly.
Ugh! Why couldn't she just go throw herself off a cliff? Make everyone happy.
"I'm fine," she said trying to be tough and not show the pain she clearly felt.
"Okay," Jake said straightening up and walking off.
I grinned as I walked past her but I don't think she saw it because she was looking longingly after Jake.
"Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's super me!" Paul yelled as he threw himself off the edge of the cliff.
"More like super freak," Leah muttered.
"Here here," I said holding my hand up for high five. She smiled remembering our old 'thing'.
"I missed having someone there to 'here here' about everything I was saying," she laughed.
"I swear it's sunnier here than it is in Fairbanks," I said marvelling at my shiny skin. My skin didn't full on SPARKLE when I was in the sun like the rest of my family it just had a faint shiny sort of glitter. "I missed the sun," I added.
"Mmm, it's nice."
"Jakey please," Hayden whined.
"Ugh shut up!" Leah muttered.
"No Hay it's too dangerous," Jake said.
Hayden was once again trying to be tough; she wanted to go cliff diving now.
I watched in silence as Jared, Sam and Quil all leapt off the cliff.
"I'm gonna try," I said.
"What?" Leah asked.
"I'm going cliff diving." I stood up and pulled the white sun dress that I'd borrowed from Leah over my head so I was standing there in the black and white spotty bikini –also Leah's.
I couldn't help but notice how well I filled out in the top. It was sure to impress Jake. And I didn't want to be vain but I had a hell of a lot better body than Hayden.
Jake neared the edge of the cliff and I smiled down at Leah who winked and mouthed, "you go girl."
As Jake jumped out into thin air I ran after him grabbing onto him in the second when you jump and it feels like your just hanging in the air before you start falling.
Jake laughed and wrapped his arms around me as we fell.
Just as our feet sliced neatly through the water there was a scream and I looked up just in time to see something red falling towards us.
Hayden.
Stupid idiot! Never listens.
Jake had clearly realised what had happened because he let go of me straight away and kicked for the surface.
I grabbed onto a rock to hold myself in place underwater as the waves crashed above me and I squinted through the bubbles. Hayden's back smacked into the surface of the water and she started sinking, the waves trying to drag her closer to the rocks, which she'd jumped too close to in the first place.
Her limbs thrashed around madly as she tried desperately to find the surface of the water.
I could see every little detail underwater even the thin stream of blood washing quickly away in the waves as her head bashed against a rock.
I surfaced just as Jake dove under and grabbed Hayden dragging her towards the shore. The rest of the pack had either already jumped in to help or were still falling.
Hayden's head flopped loosely as Jake carried her up the beach in his arms, the rest of the pack following.
I dove under as Jake turned to look back out over the water. Looking for me.
Was this my fault? I'd wished she would die. Was my wish coming true?
