Chapter 14: Guilty Until Proven Innocent

Nessie's POV

"I'm telling you that they are innocent! They didn't do anything wrong! My brothers and I ran away! They were just bringing us home! That was it!" I didn't need to look in the mirror to know that my face was red with anger. My face felt hot. Like if I had a fever but I knew it was just my anger and frustration boiling over.

The police officer just sighed and shook his head. The way he remained so calm only served to irritate me further. Mom had always told me to respect police officers but right now all I wanted to do was give him a black eye. How I managed to restrain myself I still don't know.

"Nessie look I know that you have been traumatized. You're mother has been laying around in a coma and being kidnapped on top of that but getting upset is not going to solve anything. I just need you to calmly tell me the truth. It's okay. You're in a safe area,"

That right there is what was pissing me off. I'd spent the last four hours at the police station telling them my story. Yet they kept insisting that I "Tell them the truth" and that I "was safe here and could tell them anything,"

I remained silent. What good was it to talk to the police when they weren't going to listen? Another police officer enetered the interrogation room just then. "How is it going in here Dan?"

"Not good Mike. She's refusing to talk,"

Refused to talk?! I had never been so close to actually exploding then I was right then and there.

"What about the other two kids?"

"Same," Officer Mike said. "They keep defending their kidnappers,"

Officer Dan shook his head. "The informant was right when he said the kids were severely brainwashed. This one keeps proclaiming their proclaiming their innocence,"

I couldn't stand to listen to another word of this bullshit. So I got up and left. The door slammed loudly behind me as I stomped my way through the police station. I could not keep my anger locked up anymore.

"Nessie come back here we are not finished," i heard officer Dan say behind me as he tried to catch up to me.

"Oh yes we are," I snapped. "I've told you the truth. I have told you that Carlisle and Esme are innocent. All the Cullens are innocent. Yet you refused to believe me just because you think I'm some stupid brainwashed child. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? I guess it's guilty until proven innocent now isn't it?" I sneered.

I once again slammed the door when I walked out of the police station. It was dark outside and I had absolutely nowhere to go but I didn't care. This whole day had turned into nothing but an absolute nightmare. After the police arrived to arrest Carlisle and Esme more police arrived at the hospital to arrest the rest of the Cullen family. So right now Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, and my father were all currently sitting in jail when they were all innocent. My dad, aunts, and uncles had been arrested for being "accessories to the crime,". In other words for knowing a crime was being committed and doing nothing about it. Or at least that's what the police thought.

I'd never felt so helpless before. I wanted to help my family. I tried to help my family but it was all to no avail. Nobody would listen to me or my brothers.

"Nessie," I looked up when I heard the familiar voice of my social worker. I felt a pang in my chest when I saw her. I had a family. I may not have known them for very long but I had a family. One who I loved and who loved me in return. I didn't want to go back to being in foster care. Awaiting the day my mom awoke from her coma. Why did this crap have to happen to me?

"Come on sweetie I have to bring you and your brothers back to the hospital,"

"Why?"

"The doctors need to do a thorough checkup to make sure they didn't hurt you all in any way,"

"But they didn't! I swear it!"

"Well the doctors need to make that judgment for themselves,"

I groaned loudly. All I wanted was for this hellish day to be over. Scratch that. I wanted this hellish day to be over and be with my family again. However I knew that this nightmare was far from being over. Instead I had to let the doctors poke and prod at me only for them to tell me I was fine! Well of course I was fine because the Cullens were innocent of everything they were being accused of doing!

I was told to remain in the room once the examination was done. Of course, being the rebellious annoyed girl I was, I completely disregarded what the doctor had said. So I went searching for my mother's room. I needed to see her again.

I had been to the hospital numerous times before to visit my mother so I knew my way around. It didn't take me long to find her. She looked the same apart from new clothes. I hated seeing her so lifeless like that. The doctors said she could hear every word we said but I hated seeing her so still. It was like she was dead.

"Mom I've missed you," I said. "I've missed you so much. I wish you could just wake up already," I could feel tears in my eyes. "I found them you know," I whispered. "I don't know how I did it really but I found them and they're here. The Cullens. Edward. They're-"

Suddenly one of the machines that mom was connected to started beeping loudly. The doctors rushed and I was shoved aside without a second thought.

"What happened?" One doctor asked.

"I don't know her heart rate just skyrocketed,"

"What happened Nessie? What did you say to her?"

"I just-"

"Renesmee I don't know what happened but your mother can't get upset like that. Not with her conditions,"

"Conditions? What do you mean conditions?"

He took a deep breath. "I've said to much,"

"What is wrong with my mother?"

He took a minute to answer. "She is four weeks pregnant,"

"How when she's been in a coma the last month and a half?"

The doctor sighed but didn't say anything. Instead of answering he told me just to leave. So I left wondering what the hell was going on with my own mother.
