Chapter 14: Into the Woods
Nessie's POV
As the days went by I started recovering from the vicious dog attack. I was on strict bed rest. I was not allowed to leave the house under any circumstances. There was always someone there to make sure I was following instructions. Honestly it was extremely annoying. But given my track record of things that happened to me while I left this house...well I guess I could not blame them. Even if I thought they were overreacting just a tad.
However by day seven I felt like I was going to lose my mind. I had to get out even if it was just for a little while.
"Where do you think you're going?" I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard Jacob's voice ask. Out of all of my 'babysitters' Jacob was the most irritating. Irritating, overbearing, secretive, attractive...okay I had to stop myself there.
"I'm just going outside. Okay? I promise I won't go very far. Can you please watch Will and Lily for a little while? Please," I begged slightly.
"Renesmee you know you're not supposed-"
"I'm not supposed to leave," I corrected. "I'm not going to leave. I am simply going outside to get fresh air," Before he could say another word against it I was already out the door. I smiled as soon as the cold breeze hit my face. At last fresh air.
I walked slowly to the edge of the yard. It felt good to finally stretch my legs. I was looking around when something strange caught my attention. I glanced around quickly but then it was gone. Whatever it was I must have imagined it. Then I saw something flash by again. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to go investigate. I walked slowly to the edge of the forest. I looked back quickly just to make sure that Jacob didn't notice.
The Cullens wouldn't be back for some time. Carlisle was at work. I'm not too sure where the others were though. Not that it mattered. I'd be back before they noticed I was gone. Mainly because I wasn't really going anywhere.
"Nessie is that you?"
My heart stopped dead in it's tracks. Then started racing like a horse in the Kentucky Derby. Who had-?
"Renesmee my God it is you,"
Suddenly there was someone standing right in front of me. At first I didn't know who he was and then slowly recognition dawned on me. He was so different. He had changed so much. His skin was as pale as the Cullens but his eyes they were-
"I know," he said. "I'm sorry,"
"Will is that you?" I spluttered.
"Yes it i . I know. I look...different,"
"Oh Will where have you been?!" I could not believe that after all this time he had appeared. William Sr had appeared.
"I can't explain Nessie. I've been wanting to come see you but I haven't been able to. Not until now at least,"
"What do you mean you can't explain?! You leave me behind, pregnant mind you, as well ss your own son and you can't even explain to me where the hell you've been all this time?! What happened to you,"
He sighed. "I'm sorry Nessie. Really I am but I can't tell you. You have no idea. I want to tell you but I can't,"
Secrets. Secrets. Secrets. I was honestly getting so sick and tired of all the damn secrets that people have been keeping from me. I hated secrets. I hated them with a passion. Was it so damn difficult just to be open and honest with me?!
"Can you at least tell me why you finally decided to come back?"
"I was not, um, allowed to so to speak. I sort of just snuck away. I couldn't stand not seeing you anymore. I had to come look for you. So I tracked your sc-I mean I searched all over for you until I finally saw you here. So how is my son? How is the baby?"
I had to admit that it was cute when he stumbled and tripped over his own words.
"They're fine. Will misses you as much as I do. The baby, she's fine, you have a daughter by the way,"
His red eyes lit up when he heard the news. "I want to see them,"
"I can't. Well not right now at least,"
"Why not?" he asked.
I stayed silent.
"You're not going to tell me?"
"You're not the only who can keep secrets you know. This works both ways,"
"I don't you remember you being this uptight,"
"and I don't remember you being so secretive. Disappearing for months on end. Can't even offer a simple explanation as to why. Can you at least tell me why you look so different?"
He shook his head no. Then then he surprised me by grabbing me. He pulled me so close that I was about an inch away from his face. My breathing rapidly returned two seconds later.
"What're you doing?"
"Reminding you of how much I love you,"
"You have an interesting way of showing it. Disappearing on your family for months on end. Suddenly reappearing and offering zero explanations. Keeping secrets from me when we have never had secrets be-"
He smashed his ice cold lips against mine. He certainly knew how to silence me. That was for sure. That one kiss told me all that I needed to know. He still loved me as much as he ever did before. The love and the passion was still there for him. Just as it was for me.
I could feel his cold fingers removing my shirt, followed by my bra, then my pants and my underwear. Then I removed all of his clothes in the same manner. I couldn't believe that we were going to do it. Right here in the middle of the forest. Oddly enough that turned me on even more.
I gasped out loud when he slid inside of me. I didn't remember him being this cold. That's because he wasn't this cold before. He was as cold and hard as the Cullens were now. Maybe one day he'd explain to me what happened. But not now. Not tonight. I wanted him and I wanted him now.
I wasn't sure how long we lasted. It felt like a record length of time had passed before we brought each other to climax of our pleasure. I laid down there with a smile on my face when we were done.
"I love you," he whispered into my ear.
"and I love you,"
We loved each other. I guess in the end that was all that mattered. For now anyway. I would literally explode if people kept anymore secrets from me.
"Shit," he said suddenly. "I have to go,"
"Where? Oh let me guess it's a secret,"
He just smiled at me before walking back.
I got dressed as fast as I could before heading back home. The Cullens still weren't there when I returned. Not even Jacob seemed to notice that I was back. So the first thing I did was to head straight for the shower.
