Chapter 20: Death
Nessie's POV
I kept on screaming even after the nurses had begun dragging me away. I tried to fight them but there was just too many of them. My best friend was fading away right before my eyes and they were dragging me away from him. My Justin. I felt a prick in my arm and I started to feel very sleepy. I fought against the drugs to keep my eyes open but I failed.
Deep in the depths of my sleep I was vaguely aware of what was happening around me. I could hear people talking all around me but I could barely make out what they were saying.
"She died and came back. I don't understand how that could have happened," I heard a voice say. It kind of sounded like Edward's voice.
"I don't know either son. This doesn't make any sense. By all accounts she should be dead but she came back. After 15 minutes no less. I don't understand it either. This isn't something that I have ever come across in my 300 years,"
300 years? Had I heard that correctly? My brain was fogged up from all the drugs that I couldn't be sure that I had heard that correctly. But then I remembered something else species doesn't matter. They can be human, vampire, or shapeshifter. At least that's what the witch in my dream had said. Was it possible that mythical creatures could be real? If witches were real then were the other supernatural creatures real also?
"But why did they have to drug her?"
"When she saw that it was Justin that had been brought in earlier she didn't react well. We had no other choice but to sedate her,"
Justin? What happened to Justin? Could someone please say what happened to him?
"How is the boy doing?" I heard Edward ask.
I couldn't hear anything. Everything had gone silent. Nobody was saying a word. I wanted to ask what happened to him but I could make my muscles work properly just yet. I was still much too sedated.
"Carlisle may I ask you for a huge favor?" I heard Edward ask.
"What kind of favor son?"
"I have seen what that boy means to Nessie. If she loses him it will devastate her. If it's not too late I would like for you to save him,"
"I'm trying the best I can to save him Edward. But his condition is not good at all,"
"That's not what I mean. I'm asking you to change him for Nessie's sake,"
"You really feel that strongly about this?"
"Nessie feels that strongly about him. She might be Jacob's imprint and he might be Leah's imprint but what Nessie and Justin feel for each other is just as strong and powerful. If she loses him it will hurt her. I don't want my daughter to go through that kind of pain,"
Change Justin into what? What the hell were they talking about? If I wasn't so drugged up I'd probably have a headache from all the mystery. Wait, did Edward just call me his daughter? Maybe I was just high on medication.
"Call the others," Carlisle said. "If I'm going to do this I'm going to need their help,"
I listened as Edward called the rest of his family. I overheard them discussing plans to get Justin out of the hospital undetected. Carlisle was going to go and pronounce Justin dead and take him to the morgue. That was where he would bite Justin and iniate the change. Whatever that meant. Then the others would escape with Justin. The morgue was right by one of the exits so escape would be easy. Especially once the security cameras were successfully hacked into and turned off.
I could feel when the effects of the drugs had finally worn off completely. But I still pretended to be asleep so that I could continue listening in on their conversation. For awhile I didn't hear anything. So I wasn't sure what was happening anymore. Then I heard a door open.
"Everything went well. But I'm sure you already know that. Justin didn't start screaming until they were out of the hospital,"
"That's good to hear," I heard Edward say.
"I still have to figure out what I'm going to tell his parents. Explaining a missing body isn't going to be easy. Still no change with Nessie? Odd she should be awake by now,"
"No but I'm sure that she will wake up soon,"
"Let me know when she wakes up. I'm going to go check on my other patients,"
Once I heard the door open and close I opened my eyes. Edward was sitting at my side. He didn't seem the least bit surprised that I was awake.
"I overhead everything," I said.
"You were pretending to be asleep," he smirked. "I know,"
"You didn't tell Carlisle was awake? Why? How did you know anyway?""
"I didn't tell him because I wanted you to hear. You have every right to know,"
"I have evey right to know what? Please explain because I am very confused,"
"Nessie you've already figured it out. At least part of it. You know what we are. I heard you think the word earlier,"
"You heard me think-'
"Yes I heard what you were thinking. I can read minds,"
"But? How?"
Vampire. The word suddenly flashed across my mind brighter than a neon sign in Las Vegas.
Edward smiled. "That's correct Nessie. But there is something else that I have to tell you. Bella and I are your real parents. You disappeared when you were little. We were never able to find you until just now,"
"But-what? If you're my-then that would mean that I'm-"
"You're only half vampire. Half human and half vampire. Your vampire genetics are buried deep inside of you somewhere. We still don't know what happened to you. But know this Nessie your mother and I never once stopped looking for you. We have always loved you and wanted you. I know this is a lot to take in but-"
I remembered the witch's words once again. Do you understand that Nessie? In order for you and your babies to live three people who love you must die. Species doesn't matter either. They can be human, vampire, or shapeshifter.
