Chapter 11: Safe
Nessie's POV
I was running somewhere. I didn't know where I was going all I knew was that I had to get away as fast as I could. There was something, or someone, chasing me. I ran as fast as my human legs could carry me. My lungs burned from trying to pull in oxygen. I wasn't going to make it. I could feel the energy draining from my legs.
Suddenly I collapsed onto the ground. I tried to get up but someone grabbed me.
"I've come back to kill you," Aro's voice whispered into my ear. "Just as I promised," I would.
The last thing I saw was his red eyes before he attacked me.
At first I was dazed and confused by my surroundings. Then I saw a figure moved and I screamed as loud as I could.
"Nessie it's okay! It's just me," Jacob grabbed onto me and held me to his chest. I didn't know how he got here or what he was doing here but I was extremely thankful. "It was just a bad dream,"
It may have only been a dream but there was a very real possibility that it wouldn't be a dream very soon.
"You're okay Nessie. Don't worry. Whatever it was it was just a nightmare," he rubbed me soothingly as he spoke. I could feel my heart slowinv down and my breathing return to a normal rate.
"Jake," I cried.
"It's okay Nessie. It's okay,"
"I think I'm fine now,"
"You are baby. You are,"
"What did you call me?"
"You're okay Nessie. Nothing is going to hurt you,"
"Jacob what are you doing here? Not that I don't want you here but-"
"I heard about what happened earlier. Even though your parents assured me that you were okay I had to come and see for myself. I swear if Rosalie hadn't killed those guys I would have done it myself. I would've ripped them apart limb from limb. That's probably what you were dreaming about. Don't worry those lowlifes can't hurt you,"
"It wasn't them that I was dreaming about Jake,"
"Then what?"
I opened my mouth to say something and then I immediately shut it. Now was the time to do it. Now was the time to talk and reveal my secret. It would completely shatter the happiness my family felt right now but they needed to know about the danger I was in. I needed to tell them about the threat Aro made in the hospital that day.
"Nessie what's going on? You're seriously worrying me over here,"
"Jacob something happened the day of my accident," I began to explain.
"What are you talking about?" he asked. "You mean when your horse threw you off in the middle of that race and you became paralyzed?"
"Yes. It wasn't exactly an accident. Something happened that day. When I came around the final turn and headed for the finish line there was someone in the stands. It was a vampire. All I remember were the red eyes, pale skin, and black coat that she was wearing. I don't know what happened exactly but the second she looked at my Wolf, my horse, that's when he went crazy. He threw me off and collapsed. When I looked at him and saw the crazed look in his eye I knew he was in pain. That vampire did something to him. I just know it. She was trying to get me killed,"
Jacob was seething with anger. But he somehow still remained calm enough that he didn't phase. So I continued my story. "Do you remember Aro?"
He looked angry and confused when I mentioned his name. "Yes I do. You never forget the person that tried to kill someone you love,"
"He visited me in the hospital a few days after I regained conciousness. "He somehow found me after all these years of me hiding. He said I was a liability because I lived amongst humans and knew the secret. He said he'd come and kill me when I least expected it. He wanted to torture me first because he thought it would be fun,"
"That idio-I just!" Jacob was shaking so badly that I was surprised he didn't wolf out on the spot.
"Why haven't the Cullens mentioned anything about this?"
"Because they don't know. I haven't told them and I've somehow miraculously managed to avoid thinking about it around my dad,"
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why haven't you said anything?!"
"Because we were all so happy. My parents, my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, and even you were all so happy. I was happy. We were all happy to finally be reunited again after so many years. I didn't want to ruin that happiness,"
"Renesmee you should've never kept this a secret. You should've told us from the very beginning. We have been leaving you unprotected from a threat we didn't even know existed! Do you realize what could have happened?! I could've lost you again,"
I tried taking a deep breath to calm myself down. I didn't know if Jacob was angry at me or just angry in general.
"Come on we are leaving this instant," he said as he stood up with me in his arms.
"Where are we going?"
"I'm taking you to your family will you be protected. You also need to tell them everything you just told me. If you don't say something I most certainly will,"
"Jake I can't just leave. My family here will notice me missing,"
"You mean your foster family? Yeah because they've shown so much concern for you. There's no way that they didn't hear you screaming when you woke up. Did they bother to check on you? Nope. You could've been killed by an intruder for all they know,"
Jacob held onto me tightly as we jumped out the window. He placed me on the grass before he disappeared. A reddish brown wolf I hadn't seen in 13 years emerged a few seconds later. I couldn't help but smile at my favorite wolf.
Jacob lowered himself on the ground. I used my arms to hoist myself up onto his back. He nudged my right leg with his nose so that it fell over the side of his body. I wrapped my arms around his neck as tightly as I could when he stood up. My legs were just dead limbs that hung at the sides of his body.
I gripped him as hard as I could when he took off sprinting in the direction of my family's house.
