Alright, haven't got many reviews, but this might be the only time I have to update so hopefully you guys won't let me down and review? Lol, jk, you guys are the best! Anyway, here's the next chapter, review please! Thanks.
I do not own any of Stephanie Meyer's work, solely the plot and some new characters in this story.
*************************Jacob*************************************
I ran as fast as I could, as fast as my human legs could carry me. I had realized quickly that if Edward heard where I was going through one of my pack members later, it would ruin my need to stay uncharted. My eyes burned from the tears still streaming down my face, though they were flowing out slower now.
I had left Nessie.
I knew Alice would never send me away like this if it hadn't been for something as important as keeping Nessie safe, but…was this really the only way? I had no idea why I was running away, but I trusted the little fortune teller. Hopefully she'd call soon and fill me in on the reason behind my terrible heartache.
My heart bled as I put more and more distance between my angel and me. And just when things were about to get good too…my tears began to flow faster again, staining my already smeared face. I'd been running for maybe an hour and I still couldn't seem to gain control of my emotions...some tough alpha, I though bitterly.
I closed my eyes as I focused on the only face I would ever see in the darkness I was surely headed to, never slowing down my pace; I knew I wouldn't bump into anything, it's a wolf thing…
…Nessie looking at me for the first time with her beautiful big brown eyes…Nessie hanging on to my tail as we turned our backs on the Volturri that horrible day…Nessie laughing at my 'urges' and accepting me nonetheless…Nessie coming down the stairs looking like the young woman she was so soon transforming into…Nessie taking my arm and walking towards the beginning of our future…
"AAAAGGGGHHHH!" I yelled, finally stopping in the middle of the forest, somewhere in Canada probably. Nessie had finally began to see, even though she didn't fully realize it, what she really meant to me, what I was for her…and now…there was no telling what would happen, if I could ever go back…not if it meant Nessie being in danger, no of course not…It hurt so much though, nothing compared to the mild pain Bella used to cause me back in the old days, but excruciating, shredding my heart to pieces, I-want-to-kill-myself kind of pain, a pain that I knew would never die, but thrive with time, wounding my soul till I was no more than a breathing body of flesh with nothing to live for…
But I had to keep going, for Nessie, for her safety, her happiness. I knew that perhaps I was overthinking the situation, that maybe Alice would call me in the next five minutes and tell me to come home…but I had to prepare for the worst.
I burst forward with more energy…even if I couldn't be there with her, I would always protect her…
*******************************Edward********************************
I couldn't help but direct an annoyed glance at Bella; as soon as we entered the den area with everyone else, I'd seen the beginnings of a make up session between Nessie and Oliver.
It seemed to be simple kissing at first…and then they were on the floor. I tried to remember that this might be the last time in awhile that Nessie would be happy…
BUT THE DAMN PUP WAS RUNNING HIS HAND DOWN HER LEG!!
I was going to sneak away to stop whatever else the two had in mind, but Bella stopped me.
"Edward," she pleaded, "they won't do anything rash. Nessie's a big girl, she'll know when to stop."
"But Bella—" I began, and then 'poof!' Their thoughts were gone. Bella led me back towards the others, assuring me everything would be ok as far as that was concerned. I shook my head at her unbelievingly but let myself be led away anyway.
All that time she'd been on constant alert with Jacob's thoughts and now she was backing out on me? Our daughter was outside being groped, groping back! And here we were, just letting her make her way towards underage sex! Sure, let her be happy for as long as possible, but not that happy! It just wasn't right, as her father I should—
"Edward," Charlie was asking me, his eyes somewhat concerned, though not much, "did you hear me?"
Bella looked at me with an amused smirk. I racked Charlie's thoughts seeking out the answer he wanted.
"Oh, yes, sending Nessie to school on the reservation was an excellent idea," I feigned calmness, but my eyes still bugged out more than usual. I tried relaxing my tense stance, reminding myself not to be so still, but I just couldn't seem to stop glancing back towards the little convicts. Bella finally rolled her eyes and I felt the rush of Nessie and Oliver's thoughts filter into my head.
Bad mistake.
I was out of Bella's grasp in less than a second and out the den. I snarled without trying to conceal it as I made to yank open the door to the porch. Someone was going to feel real pain tonight.
Oh no you don't you little—but I suddenly stopped at Nessie's next spoken words, releasing my hand from the knob. Bella was already by my side.
"What?" she asked quietly, seeing my chaotic anger suddenly vanish. I motioned for her to follow me back.
"It's going to be a long night, Bella."
*****************************Jasper*****************************
The emotions were a mass of turmoil. Worry mixed with relief, sadness mixed with happiness, and…arousal and desire mixed with guilt? I shot a quick glance in Edward's direction, but he seemed only tense. Could he hear what I felt coming from outside by the porch?
I watched him curiously, getting ready for any sudden movements. He didn't even seem to notice me, his thoughts were angry and worried…so maybe he was letting the two preteens do whatever they pleased…but then he was gone. I looked over to Bella, and judging by the look on her face, I realized she'd been shielding Nessie and Oliver and only barely released her hold.
Edward finally saw what I was sensing quite strongly. I made to follow, knowing the potential behind Edward's anger, but Alice stopped me.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen," she told me, smiling lightly, though her eyes still held the worry from earlier.
Then I felt another emotion…
Hurt.
I know, really short chapter, but I'm trying to put in all that I can with the time constraints. Let me know what you all think (aside from it being too short, I know, I know, don't worry, the next one will make up for it) and please review, review! I will try to update asap. Thanks.
