Chapter 9: Jail

Nessie's POV

I couldn't believe that this was happening. I could not believe that this was happening. This had to be a nightmare that I would soon wake up from. Only it was not a dream. This was my reality. My son had been taken from me and I was being sent to jail. When we got to the police station I was immediate booked for processing.

"Get in!" the man ordered harshly when he opened the first cell. The door slammed shut behind me.

I jumped about a mile in the air when a voice said "I guess they made a mistake. They usually don't mix girls and boys in jail cells,"

My heart actually stopped beating. A boy who had been standing in the shadows had emerged. I took one good look at him. He was no older than I was. He was beautiful. Very beautiful. Like me his skin was paler than what a normal humans would be but not as pale as any member of the Cullen family. He had the most beautiful brown eyes and brown hair. He was muscular like Jacob was. I was speechless.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I'm David by the way. What might your name be?"

"Renesmee," I answered when I had finally found my voice.

"Renesmee? Well that's a mouthful if I ever did hear one,"

"Most people just call me Nessie," Why was this boy making my heart beat so fast?

"Well I can see why. So Nessie what did you do to end up in jail?"

"How about you tell me what you did first and then I will tell you,"

"Ahh I see the old I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine. Okay. I'll tell you since you're so curious. I was at the park with my daughter when the police came up to me and said that they were arresting me because I'd been linked to a string of store robberies around the city. Apparently I matched the description of the guy who has been robbing store owners at gun point so someone called the police when they saw me. I tried to explain that it was an obvious case of mistaken identity but they didn't believe me. The worst part is they took away my baby girl and placed with her social services. She's only two months old and now she's in the hands of strangers just because I was mistaken for someone else. I just want to get out of here and find my daughter,"

"I understand that perfectly," Knowing that my son was in the hands of strangers and could be sent back to my aunt was horrifying.

"How would you understand that?" he asked me.

"Well I was at a restaurant when a police officer appeared and approached me asking me who I was. I ran away from my aunt and uncle for safety reasons. When I ran away I brought my baby boy with me. Since my aunt and uncle filed missing persons reports on us the police knew what we looked like. Since my our lives literally depend on it I couldn't let the police take me back to my aunt and my uncle. So I punched the officer in the face and ran away,"

"Wait you punched a police officer in the face? That's pretty badass!" he laughed. "But also kind of stupid. You do realize that, right?"

"Yeah but what can I say? I panicked. Anyway I tried to run away from the cops with my son in my arms. But as you can see that didn't work out very well,"

David laughed again. "So Nessie where have you been living since technically you're a runaway?"

"I have actually been living with my biological family. I'm still not even completely sure how I found them but I did. I was adopted as a baby. But it turns out that I was stolen from my biological family,"

"That's pretty crazy Nessie. So where are you from? I noticed you have a southern accent,"

"I'm from Louisville, Kentucky. Where are you from?"

"Well I'm actually from Las Vegas, Nevada. But I just moved here with my daughter a few weeks ago,"

"What's your daughter's name?"

"Her name is Alyssa," he said. "Her mom didn't want her so I now have sole custody over her. Or rather I did until now. Now I don't know what's going to happen. What's your son's name?"

"I named him Tyler. His father didn't want anything to do with him either. So it's just us now. He's only a month old. Well more like a month and a half now actually,"

I was surprised by how easy it was to talk to him. I really liked him. "Nessie if we ever get out of here would you like to go on a date with me?"

That stopped me short. What did he just ask. "I'm sorry what?"

He blushed bright red. "This might seem a little forward but I really like you. You seem like a smart girl, you're very beautiful, and you're really interesting and I want to get to know you better. If you'd give me the chance. I know this is kind of odd me asking you out while we're in jail but-"

"Yes," I answered. "I mean when we get out of here I'd like to see more of you. I mean see you more. I mean-oh God what do I mean?"

David laughed. "and I thought I got easily tongue twisted,"

I blushed.

"So it must be really nice living with your real family now. Or is it really odd?"

"No the Cullens are awesome,"

He went silent. Shock was all over his face for reasons that I couldn't understand. "You're related to the Cullen family?"

"Yeah do you know them?"

"I know of them. They're like a legend amongst vampires. I have never actually met a vegetarian vampire before. I knew there was something different about you. I could smell it. Why didn't you tell me that you were a hybrid like me?"
