Chapter 20: Saved in Time

Nessie's POV

Mr. Jones grabbed me and slammed me against the wall. I swore that I could actually see the evil look in his eye as he stared at me. My heart was beating fast. My hands shook so hard no matter how hard I tried to keep them steady. With one hand he held me against the wall and the other he started taking off my pants again. Just like he had this morning.

"Dr. Lawrence hold onto Bella so she doesn't try anything,"

Mom screamed as she tried to fight him off. She was still to weak though. Dad where are you?

"Just like your mother," he said. "Worthless and weak just like your mother,"

Something about his words struck a chord with me. I had to fight. I would fight. Even if I died I would die fighting. I fought and struggled against his hold. He just laughed. Then I bit him. As soon as I'd bitten him he released me. He collapsed onto the ground. Screaming in agony. There was a strange metallic like taste in my mouth. It wasn't saliva. But it was a kind of body fluid. I could feel it filling up my mouth.

I was about to celebrate my odd victory when suddenly Dr. Lawrence grabbed me and pulled me aside. He put me up against the wall. He held a knife to my throat.

"I'm sorry kid but I can't let you or your mother-"

"Get away from them!" Dad growled in an animalistic way.

He released me and my body slid all the way to the floor.

"Edward," I heard mom say even though my head was pounding.

"Renesmee get your mother out of here. Now,"

I had never seen dad so angry. I obeyed instantly. I ran as fast as I could do so without drawing too much attention to myself or accidentally causing my mother's wheelchair to flip over. I didn't stop until we were probably about three miles away from the hospital.

"Baby are you okay?" mom's worried voice asked.

"Yes. Well I think so," I was having a hard time catching my breath. "Are you okay?" I was finally able to ask her.

"I am more worried about you Nessie,"

"I think I am but I don't know. I'm just in shock still I guess. He attacked me and tried to kill me earlier," my mind was stuggling to process the idea that this was the second time today there was an attempt against my life. Three times altogether if you counted Jacob's attempt using my peanut allergy. For Chrissakes I was only 11 years old! Why did people want me to die?!

"It's okay sweetheart. It will be okay. Your father is handling it,"

"Did you know that dad was a vampire?"

Mom looked at me wearily. "He told you everything?"

"Well if you mean telling me that he and the rest of our family are vampires than yes. He did tell me everything. Why didn't you say anything before?"

"Would you have believed me if I did tell you?"

I thought back to how I reacted when my dad told me the truth earlier. I thought he was crazy. I shook my head. "No I would've thought that you were crazy,"

"Exactly," mom said. "Not just that either. I was protecting you and your brothers. Knowing the secret is dangerous. There are laws,"

"Laws?"

"The vampire world has rulers. They call themselves the Volturi. They're like vampire royalty. They make and enforce the laws,"

"What laws?" I was getting more and more confused by the second. "What laws do vampires have?"

"There aren't many. The main one though is that vampires keep the existence of their kind a secret. If a human finds out he or she either has to be turned or killed. That's the main reason why I never told you or your brothers. Knowing is dangerous,"

I felt several shivers run down the base of my spine. I didn't know who these Volturi were but they scared the hell out of me already. They take the secret very seriously. That would also explain why my family didn't say anything right away. That and they didn't want me thinking they were crazy.

I shuddered at the thought of what my father was doing right now. He'd said earlier that if they tried anything he would "dispose of them right then and there," he should just said 'kill' I knew thats what he meant anyway. He was taking a long time though. I was sure if he killed them he would do it quickly and get back to us.

"Where do you suppose dad is? He should be back now," I asked nervously.

"He is probably hunting. He looked pretty thirsty. Do you know when he last hunted?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I think it was before he got arrested,"

"Yeah about that. Why is everybody in jail?"

"The police think that we were kidnapped. We tried explaining the truth but they think we are stupid brainwashed-"

A loud siren interrupted me. At first I didn't think much of it until I realized that it was a police car headed right toward us. I recognized officers Mike and Dan as they walked toward me. They were the ones that interviewed my brothers and I after the Cullens got arrested.

"What's going on-"

"Renesmee you are under arrest," Dan stated as he grabbed me and forced my hands behind my backs "for helping a criminal escape from prison-"

A crowd started to gather around. Some people had their cellphones out. Recording or livestreaming this most likely. It only fueled my anger further.

"But he was innocent!"

"Renesmee-"

I had never felt so angry before. The anger fueled my strength and I broke free from the handcuffs. Only to be captured quickly again by officer Dan. When I saw him reach for his taser I didn't think. I just reacted. I bit his arm as hard as I could. The metallic taste filled my mouth.

He fell down in pure agony. There was a half moon shaped mark where I had bitten him. What the hell just happened?!
