Chapter 25 is dedicated to Wintersky101, for being the only reviewer to answer my question.

Chapter 25: Interception

Aunt Alice gasped suddenly, and her eyes glazed over. She was having another vision as she became still. Uncle Jasper was the first one to her side, and he gently placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Alice, what do you see?" He murmured. She didn't answer, but my dad's eyes widened as he saw her vision, before they darted to me. Something was wrong.

"What is it?" My mom sensed it too. Her forehead began to crease in worry, as she tugged on my dad's shoulder. My grandparents released me, but kept their hands on my shoulder. I glanced between my father and my aunt, who both still had not answered.

"Alice, Edward?" My grandfather said, looking expectantly at them. Aunt Alice was the first to speak.

"We need to go, now!" Aunt Alice shrieked, blinking her eyes and clutching Uncle Jasper.

"What—?"

"Jacob, take Renesmee and go with Esme to our cottage, now!" My dad ordered. The tone of his voice had dramatically changed.

Jacob, for once, didn't question my dad. He simply nodded and quickly moved to my side. My grandfather's hand was replaced by his.

"Calm down a minute, what's going on?" Grandpa Carlisle remained calm, as he looked between his two children.

"Nahuel and his Aunt ran into Scarlet and Mariah. They are coming back here." My dad clarified.

"All of them?" Grandpa asked.

"No. Joham isn't with them…I don't know what he looks like, so I can't get a reading on him. I've never met him. Damn!" It was rare for Aunt Alice to curse. This was bad...

I caught my dad looking at me with confusion and...fear? Then his eyes darted back to my grandfather. "I don't want them anywhere near my daughter!" He growled.

"Why are they coming?" My mom asked.

"Why would Nahuel bring them here?" Uncle Emmett cut in. Before anyone else could speak, he started again, "I thought they were the bad guys? Or should I say bad girls." He chuckled at his own joke. His comment earned him a smack on the head from Aunt Rose, as she growled at him.

"Ow! That hurt," he mumbled, rubbing his head. "Look you guys, I don't see the big deal. It's just two girls. What are they going to do to us? There's still seven of us minus Esme, Jake, and Nessie."

"He does have a point." Uncle Jasper agreed, nodding his head slightly.

"We need to do something before they came here." Aunt Alie threw in. She glanced at my dad, who nodded.

"Alice is right. Scarlet and Mariah do not practice our abstinence ways. I do not want to tempt them with my daughter's blood."

"They will just follow her scent to your cottage, bro." Uncle Emmett pointed out the obvious, but this time he was quick to dodge his wife's attack. "Wait, Rose! Listen to me for a second, will ya? Why don't we go and meet them, you know, before they even get here. We'll be intercepting them....kinda like football!"

Aunt Rose's hand was halfway in the air, but she seemed to think about her husband's proposed plan, and put it down. "Hm. He may actually have a point." She grumbled.

"Right again. That's two for Emmett!" Uncle Emmett grinned and winked at me when he caught my eye. Aunt Rose grumbled again, and rolled her eyes.

"So, what's the plan?" Jacob spoke for the first time as he looked up at my dad.

"I don't want them within 30 feet of my daughter. Esme, please stay with Nessie...yes, Carlisle agrees completely...Jake, you can cover their trail if you go in wolf form. Nahuel and Huilen have not been exposed to your wolf scent...yes, it is around this area, but the trails are old, and mixed with our scents. This will help confuse them, if they did decided to follow."

"15 minutes!" Aunt Alice squeaked. Everything happened quickly. My parents, grandparents, and Jacob decided to go to our cottage first, while my aunts and uncles waited.

Jacob phased, and I was placed on top of him. I grabbed two fistfuls of his fur, and leaned down low.

"Don't drop her." My dad warned the wolf. My mom rolled her eyes and tugged on his arm. Jacob huffed beneath me.

"Leave him alone, Edward. Let's go." My dad gave Jacob one last glare before being pulled away by my mom, and then we were off. My parents were infront, and my grandparents brought up the rear. Since I was on Jacob, my scent was almost untraceable, and it had the added protection of my families scent's to cover it up.

We were at the cottage in no time. Jacob made sure I was safely inside before trotting off into the forest to phase. As soon as I walked through the door, my dad's cell phone went off. He opened it and began speaking so fast I could barely understand him.

"Alice, yes, how much time?"

Pause.

The suspense seemed to last a second too long. I could feel the fear building up in me, and I tried to calm myself and breathe, as I waited for my dad to start talking again. Again, his shot me a confused look. Why? What was Aunt Alice saying?

"Okay. Wait for us, we're on our way." He hung up, but never took his eyes off me. My mom noticed this too.

"What's wrong with her? Is she okay?" She rushed over to my side, and my dad's eyebrows furrowed together in concentration. Then suddenly, they simply smoothed out.

"Nothing." He muttered, shaking his head. Then he turned to face everyone in the room. "Okay, listen everyone. Alice says they will be there in 5 minutes instead of 10. This means we've got to leave now."

I watched my grandparents embrace, and then all eyes were on me.

My grandfather kissed my forehead and then whispered, "Keep them safe." I looked up to see him nod towards someone. Turning, I saw Jake just as he crossed the threshold. I didn't even hear his approach.

"Of course." Jacob nodded, and then glanced at me before resuming his earlier position. So Jake had still not forgiven me for my outburst?

"Nessie? Are you okay?" My dad was looking at me funny again. I didn't trust my mouth, so I simply nodded.

"Honey, we love you." My mom whispered, hugging me fiercely. I gasped for air, and she loosened her grip and smiled sheepishly. "Whoops. Sorry. I forgot about that." She let me go, and went to stand near my father, all the while mumbling about 'stupid newborn strength'.

My dad repeated my grandfather's earlier action, and planted a kiss on my forehead, before (lightly) squeezing my shoulders. "I love you, sweetheart. We'll be back soon."

Grandma Esme hugged everyone once more and then said, "Be careful."

I watched them leave, along with grandpa. I plopped down on the couch, and tried to process everything. So many things we're happening at once, it was becoming overwhelming. I followed grandma Esme with my eyes, as she paced back and forth slowly. Well, slow for vampires. Meanwhile, Jacob's eyes rarely left the ground. He had moved to sit on a chair, diagonal from me, so that he could still see us as well as the front door.

I tried to pull my memory together to evaluate the recent events. I remembered waking up...but when had I fallen asleep? I had been on my way to visit Grandpa Swan with my mom, and then...the accident! Who were those people? Two cars...Uncle Emmett had mentioned some names...Scare...sarle? Maria...? I grounded my teeth together in frustration. Did they have anything to do with all of this? Did my dad know about the accident? Well, of course. My mom was fine. She would have told them by now, surely. But just in case...

"Grandma?" I said hesitantly. She stopped her pacing to look at me. Jake looked up too.

"Yes, honey?"

"Um...there was a car acciddent...and people...they were following us..." My words began to get jumbled together. "They hit us. They kept hitting us! And then..my head hurt...now it doesn't but I remember trying to tell dad and grandpa. I really did try...but then I think I forgot. I fell asleep. And now I just remembered...I should have told them just now before they left! It could have helped! I'm ...so sorry..."

I didn't realize I had been crying, until she wiped my eyes with a cloth. "Shh, shh." She whispered. "Its okay. We know all about it, sweetie."

"You do? You know?"

"Yes. Don't worry about it. Our family has everything under control. Don't worry."

I believed her. Until I heard the sound of a wolf howling in the distance.
