Ch. 33- J. Jenks.
"It was that other trail." Esme said as we were running back home, nodding towards the opposite direction. "It was fresh."
"It has to be from earlier in the day." I murmured. "It was just Alice without Jasper." My voice sounded lifeless in my own ears, I didn't want to imagine how it sounded to the others, and how much it hurt them.
Esme's face puckered, and she nodded.
I heard Bella slowing hr pace and I felt the loss of her next to me.
"Bella?" I asked, looking behind. I saw her cringe at my emotionless voice, but she soon controlled her expression.
"I want to follow the trail." She told me, sniffing. I was confused. Why would she want to follow the trail?
"It probably leads back to the house."
She nodded. "Then I'll meet you there." She turned her back to me and took some steps, sniffing.
I blinked, shocked and I felt my face coming back to life. I shook my head. I wouldn't let her go alone. I wouldn't stay away from her even just for a second. It hurt to know that I would lose her, I needed her. I needed to spend as much time as I could with her.
"I'll come with you." I said immediately, terrified from the fact to go on without her even for a moment. "We'll meet you at home, Carlisle." I said without looking away from Bella.
Carlisle nodded, and he left with the others. I approached Bella slowly and she looked at m questioningly.
"I couldn't let you walk away from me." I explained taking her hand. "It hurt just to imagine it."
She didn't need more explanation; she understood completely what I meant. We had such a little time together.
I sighed and squeezed her hand. "Let's hurry, Renesmee will be awake."
She nodded and we were running again, following the scent.
I was sure that the trail led back to the house, but to my big surprise it led to the cottage.
"She left Jasper to wait for her and came here?" I mused out loud. What possibly happened that made Alice to come to our cottage?
"Give me just a minute." Bella whispered as she freed her hand from mine and I felt my body craving for her touch again. More than any other time.
"Bella?" I asked, confused.
"Please? Thirty seconds." She said and then she disappeared in the house. Why did she want to go inside alone, and first of all why did Alice went there at the first place?
I started thinking about the reasons that could make Alice go there. And then I remembered. The note that Alice left us, was written in a page from Bella's book. Was the book the key?
I didn't think twice and I ran in the house, earlier than Bella told me to.
When I got in Bella was watching the book, which was burning in the fire. What did that mean?
"What's going on Bella?" I whispered, hoping that she would tell me, what was the book hiding?
"She was here. She ripped a page out of my book to write her note on."
"Why?"
"I don't know why." I shook my head.
"Why are you burning it?" I explained.
"I-I" she shuttered. "It seemed appropriate." She explained. I looked at her pained face and moved closer. I hugged her at my chest tightly, kissing her hair. I wasn't the only one that I needed her, she needed me too, and she was my priority.
I knew that she was hiding something from me, something that Alice wanted to hide from me. But I trusted both of them.
There was a reason that they were hiding it from me, but I hoped it wasn't something bad.
"When we were on the plane to Italy," she began. "On our way to rescue you… she lied to Jasper so that he wouldn't come after us. She knew that if he faced the Volturi, he would die. She was willing to die herself rather than put him in danger. Willing for me to die, too. Willing for you to die." She whispered in my chest. I knew what she was trying to say, but I refused to believe it.
"She has her priorities." She explained, as she snuggled closer to my chest.
"I don't believe it." I whispered in her hair. "Maybe it was just Jasper in danger. Her plan would work for the rest of us, but he'd be lost if he stayed. Maybe . . ." I argued with myself. I was sure that Alice didn't leave us, that she didn't cower. She just left, for some reason that we couldn't know.
"She could have told us that. Sent him away." Bella whispered.
"But would Jasper had gone? Maybe she's lying to him again." I argued, refusing to believe what Bella said.
"Maybe… We should go home. There's no time." I nodded and took Bella's hand.
When we went back, everyone was ready to leave. They had the plan in action. In the corner Jacob was in his human form, with Renesmee on his lap, both watching us with wide eyes.
There was a globe on the coffee table, but they had already finished looking at it.
I looked at Carlisle, waiting for him to explain me the plan.
We are going to find as many vampires as we can and convince them to come here and listen to what you have to tell them. He explained quickly.
"We're to stay here?" I asked, unhappy. I didn't want just to stay there and wait. I wanted to do something to help. Something more.
"Alice said that we would have to show people Renesmee, and we would have to be careful about it," Carlisle said. "We'll send whomever we can find back here to you—Edward, you'll be the best at fielding that particular minefield."
I nodded sharply. "There's a lot of ground to cover."
"
We're splitting up," Emmett answered. "Rose and I are hunting for nomads."
"You'll have your hands full here," Carlisle said. "Tanya's family will be here in the morning, and they have no idea why. First, you have to persuade them not to react the way Irina did. Second, you've got to find out what Alice meant about Eleazar. Then, after all that, will they stay to witness for us? It will start again as the others come—if we can persuade anyone to come in the first place." Carlisle sighed. "Your job may well be the hardest. We'll be back to help as soon as we can."
Carlisle put his hand on my shoulder. We will do our best. Then he kissed Bella's forehead. Esme hugged both of us, and Emmett punched us both on the arm. Rosalie forced a hard smile for us, blew a kiss on Renesmee and grimaced at Jacob.
"Good luck." I told them.
"And to you," Carlisle said. "We'll all need it."
I watched them leaving and got angry to myself that I should stay here, to wait and let the others to control my fate.
Renesmee twisted in Jacob's arms to touch his cheek. Will grandpa's friends come to help us? A shuddered in shock, I knew that she could understand everything but this… this was too complicated for her. It was difficult even for us to understand, but she still…knew everything!
"I don't know if Carlisle's friends will come. I hope so. Sounds like we're a little outnumbered right now," Jacob murmured to Renesmee.
I looked carefully at her face. She did not look frightened, only anxious and very serious as she conversed with Jacob in her silent way. I want to help.
"No, we can't help; we've got to stay here," he went on. "People are coming to see you, not the scenery."
She frowned and touched his face again. You should go, it's dangerous.
I smiled a little at my daughter's warning. How many times had I warned the one that I loved? How many times did I tell Bella that she should leave; that I was too dangerous? I knew from personal experience that Jacob wouldn't care about himself.
"No, I don't have to go anywhere," he said to her. Or do I? He thought and then looked at me. "Do I?"
I hesitated, thinking about that. W needed Jacob, we needed him indeed, but the other vampires aren't like us… if they saw a werewolf in our house and didn't wait until we explain them, then…
"Spit it out."
"The vampires who are coming to help us are not the same as we are," I explained. "Tanya's family is the only one besides ours with a reverence for human life, and even they don't think much of werewolves. I think it might be safer—"
"I can take care of myself," Jacob interrupted. I ignored him.
"Safer for Renesmee." I continued. "If the choice to believe our story about her is not tainted by an association with werewolves."
"Some friends. They'd turn on you just because of who you hang out with now?" he said, rolling his eyes.
I shook my head. He didn't understand my point.
"I think they would mostly be tolerant under normal circumstances. But you need to understand—accepting Nessie will not be a simple thing for any of them. Why make it even the slightest bit harder?" I tried to explain.
Poor bloodsuckers, I bet it was really difficult for them… "The immortal children were really that bad?" he asked.
"You can't imagine the depth of the scars they've left in the collective vampire psyche." I said, shaking my head.
Maybe if I tried, no, no I can't…"Edward…" I can't, you know it…Please…
I sighed. ""I know, Jake. I know how hard it is to be away from her. We'll play it by ear— see how they react to her. In any case, Nessie is going to have to be incognito off and on in the next few weeks. She'll need to stay at the cottage until the right moment for us to introduce her. As long as you keep a safe distance from the main house . . ." I explained.
That's really better. "I can do that. Company in the morning, huh?"
I nodded. "Yes." I started. "The closest of our friends. In this particular case, it's probably better if we get things out in the open as soon as possible." I paused for a while thinking of how Tanya would react with Jacob here. "You can stay here; Tanya knows about you, she's even met Seth."
"Right." He nodded.
"You should tell Sam what's going on. There might be strangers in the woods soon." I WARNED.
"Good point." But he let Alice go, he's such an idiot. "Though I owe him some silence after last night."
I shook my head. "Listening to Alice is usually the right thing." I said.
Usually. He thought, grounding his teeth together.
"It must be rather difficult for you. Thinking that you might lose the two persons that you live for." He guessed.
I walked at the corner that he was and sat next to him. "You have no idea…" I said, my tone was like I was in tears, my voice was trembling.
Renesmee reached out for me and I took her in my arms, kissing her head.
"You know, it's the first time that I don't blame you for putting Bella in danger." He said, trying to lighten the mood.
I forced a small smile at the corners of my lips. "Right… and it's the first time that you are not fight with us, just to win Bella's heart."
"Right." He said. "You know it's really annoying, as much as I tried you still won!" he complained like a little child.
"Yeah, I've noticed that."
"Do you want a round of applause?" he said, looking at my triumphant smile.
"Hey, you said it on your know 'May the best man win'" I said mimicking his voice. "So, I'm the best man…" I said, appreciating his try to make me feel better.
"What do you have that I don't?!"
"Bella." I said with a real smile this time.
"Ugh!" he groaned, looking away.
I smiled wider and looked to Bella, who was standing next to a computer desk. She was running her finger over the keys, absently, but while I watched I saw that she was typing something.
My eyes widened and my jaw dropped as I saw what she was looking for.
J. Jenks.
