This is my first fan fiction. I hope you enjoy it!
A/N for those of you who are wondering about this story line, I want to explain something. In Breaking Dawn Nahuel tells the Volturi they can do what ever they want to his father, but to leave his sister out of it because he hates Joham so completely. I thought about it, knowing that Nahuel would hate him for what happened to his family, but in reality, he never actually met his mother, so his grief for her, his anger at his father should be more immediate. Therefore Joham killing Shara gave Nahuel a reason to detest him so completely that he would never be able to bring himself to be apart of his father lifestyle.
Chapter35
Nahuel's POV
I felt my fist connect with the left side of Joham's face, and watched his face turn sideways from the impact. It hurt my hand far more then I would ever tell anyone, but the pain was over ridden by the pleasure I felt at seeing his smile falter, then fall from his face as he took in my intent and anger. He turned back to me, his eyes were confused, and he held a hand to his cheek. The pain in my knuckles told me that he did this more out of shock then from pain. I didn't give him and explanation, instead I threw myself at him, launching my body at him like an elephant in a rage, and hoping I could rip him apart the same way an elephant could a tree. I prepared myself for the impact, but was surprised when it didn't come.
I opened my eyes to see myself flying towards the tree line, and stopped myself instantly. I turned on the spot, searching for him. He stood there a few feet from where he had been, looking at me silently. I stormed at him, this time not letting my eyes leave his face as I ran full force at him. He deftly jumped up into the nearest tree, and I followed, having to take two jumps for his one. With every movement I made he moved ahead of me.
I had to stop, and to take a breath, partly from exertion, and partly from the anger that burned away inside my chest. I looked at him, currently he was atop a large boulder, and I was twenty yards away in the lower boughs of a tree. He noticed my pause and took the chance to speak. "Nahuel...son..." I screamed at him, "Don't call me that! I am no son of yours!" I jumped for the stone, and he swiftly avoided me again. "My son, what is wrong?" He tried again. "I said not to call me that!" I was failing at this miserably, he managed to avoid me every movement, he was just so fast. "A father wouldn't hurt his son the way you have hurt me!" I yelled at him. My anger was failing me, I could feel the emotions boiling up to the surface.
I saw him take a step in my direction, his face still a mask of confusion. I was aware of movement behind me and turned to see, my aunt moving closer to my side, her eyes were wary. Lichuen was beside her, but one hand was to his forehead, and his eyes had an unfocused look to them. Lichuen looked far to the right for a moment, before he put the other hand to his head, and moaned. My aunt looked torn between me and him, her face full of concern for both of us. She glanced to the right as well, and I saw two figures emerge from the bushes there.
The beings were both female. One had long, straight, raven black hair, and warm brown eyes, she had dark skin like me. But the other had lighter skin, her hair was a warm light brown, and her hair curled around her face. Her eyes were a grey color, they actually made me think of Shara for a moment. Both of these girls looked fearful, their fear must have been what effected Lichuin. They looked between me and Joham, then back at me again. I realized with alarm that these were my siblings, the sisters he had told me about.
That knowledge took me by surprise, even though I knew about them, even though I had smelled their scents around his, I had not expected to see them. Joham looked at them, then back at me. The strained lines on his face eased a little, was this because he had backup if needed. I had that too, I thought eyeing my aunt, who still stood torn between me and Lichuin. I gestured to him, letting her know that He needed her more then I. And I watched her run to his side. I also noticed my father watching her. His eyes were dark and lidded with was that lust? He didn't move his eyes from her body as he took in her movements towards this strange male in his territory.
I turned to watch what he was seeing. My aunt had wrapped her arms around Lichuen's hunched shoulder's, and she was whispering softly into his ears. She leaned forward and kissed his brow. I turned to look at my father, and I was rewarded, seeing his eyes darken in what I believed to be jealousy. He was distracted thoroughly, and it gave me the chance to make my move. I jumped from my perch on the boulder, high above him and slammed into his body with my own. I hit him over and over, screaming at him, calling him a murderer, yelling words over and over at him, not even hearing what came from my lips, just enjoying the feeling of taking my grief out upon him. Joham didn't do anything at first, but then he moved to defend himself. His hands warding off the blows from mine, they bounced off his rock hard hands. He still glanced from time to time at my aunt, and that only fueled my rage further. How dare he want her, he didn't deserve her, she was too good for a monster like him, just like my mother had been. This demon had touched everything good in my life, and seemed like he wouldn't stop until he had taken everything away.
I Kicked at him, hitting any part of his body that I could reach, grasping, tearing, trying to render him dead. I heard gasps, but paid no attention to them. I saw red, nothing could keep me from my target. I roared at him, wanting him to feel my rage. Suddenly my world turned upside down, I found myself lying on my back. Joham was holding my wrists in one of his hands against my chest, and my legs with his other hand. Rendering me immobile, with the exception of my head.
I turned to look at him, he stared down at me wide eyed, the confusion was still there, but now he seemed annoyed. I did what came naturalyl when so close to such a disgusting thing, I spat in his face. I felt the anger tremble through him, but he did not make a move."What did I do to you?" He asked through gritted teeth. I laughed like a maniac. "What did you do? What did you do?" Lets see, what haven't you done to me? First you killed my mother, because your sick and twisted, then you kill my love...., and even now you can't keep your eyes off my aunt!" He finally showed some remorse at that, not realizing that he had been caught. My aunt hissed, and Lichuen growled, deep in his chest then raised to his full height and placing himself in front of my aunt to block my father's line of vision. My father closed his eyes for a moment, then responded. "I am sorry about your mother......But what did I do to your love? What on earth are you babbling about boy?" I noticed that he didn't deny that he was looking at my aunt, and he didn't respond to it either. "You killed her!" I spat the words out, like excess venom from my mouth.
He looked down at me, his eyes thoughtful. "How could you? Were you so greedy that you couldn't leave me that one thing?" How did you find her? Did you lure her to the woods? I hope her blood tasted foul, I hope it left a bitter taste in your mouth that lasts for eternity." He looked at my aunt, and back to me, I struggled against his hands as I yelled, "I said don't look at her!" Lichuen growled again, there was no mistaking the threatening tone to his growl, my father looked at him then turned his eyes back to me again. "What do you mean her.. blood, are you saying that you were in love with a human?" His tone was disbelieving, almost mocking. "What's wrong with that?" I growled wishing that I could rip the look off of his face "I'm half human after all, or did you forget that my mother was a human! And Shara was not just any human, I loved her, and she.....loved me too!" I faltered in my ferocity, remembering when I had realized that she had indeed returned my attraction and desire, then recalling that he had taken it all away.
"But a human?" He said still shaking his head at the idea. "She was special as far a humans go," I whispered "She saw what others could not see, and didn't see what they could.." "The blind girl?" Joham said as he took a deep intake of breath of alarm. "YES!" I roared, wriggling my body trying to free myself from his clutches, my anger renewed now that he had recalled who she was. "But I didn't smell your scent on her.. Son I never would have... she was out alone.....I had no idea..." His words faltered as he tried to explain himself, but I didn't care to hear his excuses.
"Why did I not smell you on her Nahuel? I would not have gone near her if I had scented you on her skin." I thought on that for a moment, "I had not seen her in a few days, I had stayed to help with Lichuen, Huilen needed me, we were not sure how his change would go over. And the rain was torrential, so she and I did not meet for a few days." I started to wonder, if it was my fault as much as his, if I had not left her alone, would he had left her be? "Nahuel, You have to believe me, I would not hurt my own kin so." I heard my aunt speak up then, "Why should he believe your lies Joham, you told my sister you loved her, only to leave her when she needed you the most, your words are meaningless." I could hear the hurt in her voice, and his eyes softened as he looked at her. She was wrapped in Lichuen's protective embrace now, her back to his chest, as his arms circled her, holding her close. Lichuen's eyes spoke volumes, as he stared at my father. They clearly said watch yourself, she is mine, and I will hurt you if you try anything.
My uncle looked at her, his eyes filling with longing and desire, then he turned to me. "I am sorry my son, I would not have taken her from you. I know what it is like to finally have found love, only to loose it." He glanced in my aunts direction before continuing, "I would never purposely put anyone through that torment." Was he saying that he loved my aunt? I looked at her, and she had turned away into Lichuen's chest, her arms were wrapped around his waist as he held her close, trying to keep her from the torment around her. I saw my fathers face wince as he took in the loving scene before him. "I hope that she loved you in return, my son, because there is no worse pain then to love someone to the fullest extent, only to be rejected. He moved to get up, and pulled me up with him. I used my foot to kick him away, refueled by the knowledge that my aunt had scorned him.
"She did, so I hope you understand why I have come here to kill you?" Joham turned to me, sighing, what was that supposed to mean? I didn't give myself time to think on it though, and I jumped forward to wrap my fingers around his neck. I was hoping that if I squeezed hard enough that I could separate his head from his body, would that even kill him? I realized that I had no idea how to accomplish this task, regardless I was going to try. I pushed him backwards until he was against a tree, and I slammed him against it repeatedly, not even pausing when I heard it groan in protest, nor when it broke and fell down to the forest floor. He simply looked at me letting me squeeze his throat. Since that didn't seem to work, I stared to hit him, over and over I pummeled him, hitting his face, hitting stomach, his chest. I knew he could feel it, even if it didn't hurt as much as I wished it did.
He just stood there and took it, he let me take out all of my frustration, anger and hurt out on him, if he had been human, he would have been dead many times over, and as it was he, seemed sore and stiff. My hands hurt, my head throbbed, but I wouldn't stop. Finally he stopped my hands, holding my fists in his grasps. "Nahuel, you are my son, my only son. I am sorry for what happened, but you cannot kill me, and I will not, do you hear me, will not, kill you. As much as you hate me right now, you are apart of me, just like your sisters, you cannot change that. I hope in time you can forgive me for this, and that we can be a family."
I turned my face to his, seeing parts of my face reflected in his, seeing the resemblance there. I could never forgive him, even if it had been a horrific mistake, he had hurt me to much, and I would never get past it, even if I moved on from it, even that didn't not seem likely at this moment. "You may be my sire, but you are no father." I said fiercely. I glanced at my sisters, they huddled together, holding one another. "I am sorry to have frightened you both, I hope you never know the sadness in your life that he has brought to mine. I hope to get to know you both, but I will have nothing to do with him, not now, not ever, unless it's to bring an end to the pain her spreads around him where ever he goes!" I spoke my words carefully, wanting them to know that I did not hold them responsible for his actions, but that I would not be connected to him in any way.
Joham released my hands, and I turned from him. My aunt came over and wrapped her arms around me, Lichuen stood protectively over us both glaring at my father. We moved away leaving my sisters. I would never return to this place, I hoped they would come to me, to get to know me, but never again would I purposely bring myself to be in a place where that demon resided. I let myself be guided by my aunt, away from this place. She would take me home, and she would mother me. She was my family, I didn't need anything from him, I never would.
