13. Nessie's Intervention

"I'm heading out everyone!" called out Nessie.

"Okay, don't stay out too long!" Bella hollered from the study.

Nessie opened the door before she immediately closed it remembering that she did not have her money with her. She quietly went into her bedroom, and before she reached out and grabbed her bag, she heard Alice scream out in terror. Everyone rushed into her room not even noticing that she was there like she was a ghost. "What's wrong!? Did you have another vision?" Bella asked.

"What is it this time!? Did they add another werewolf? What is this like the fourth one!?" Emmett shouted with arrogance.

"Don't forget about the Mermaid and the Kitsune. It seems that the collaborative are way more dangerous than we gave them credit for. Still, I'm worried about the one werewolf who can force others to transform against their will. He's going to definitely give us problems in the future" Edward mentioned.

"Whoa, I thought you said that they could only transform during the moon. Now they can force others to transform? Could they force Jake to transform?" Bella asked.

"No, these werewolves aren't normal. You shouldn't be worried about him making Jake transform…you should be more worried about how many people are going to die because of him" Edward blurted out.

"W-what? I thought you said everyone lived?" Bella asked.

Alice touched Bella's hand bearing a grim look. "Bella…I can't see Charlie or Billy's future…I can't see anyone…they'll all going to die!"

Bella was horrified and grew angry with them. "You said that coming here would be the best outcome!"

"Bella, even the best outcome lead to the entire village being destroyed…at least we'll survive" He said.

Nessie's eyes widened with horror as she realized they had been hiding something from her. Feeling betrayed, she grabbed her bag and rushed out the door leaving it open, so that it would not cause a scene. She rushed through the cool autumn dusk before she stopped briefly to strap her bag tightly to her back before she leaped onto the decking of the Tasmanian bridge continuing her dash across the River Derwent estuary towards the Hobart International Airport.

She sneaked into the airport jumping the fence and running across the tarmac in a blinding blur. She hid behind a maintenance building then pulled out her phone from her backpack and started googling flights from Hobart to the US, which there were a few flights who were headed for Seattle via Honolulu. She looked up the layout of the terminal and gate locations before she took off for the airplane which was due to depart in five minutes.

She was able to sneak in with the luggage which none of the personnel saw her get in the cargo hold. There was a loud slam in the door and everything went dark not too long after she was jostled when the plane started to move. It was being pushed off from the gates with a tug vehicle. The engines revved up and the plane taxied to the runway ready for takeoff. Everything became deafening when the plane rapidly accelerated down the runway and took to the skies. The higher it climbed the colder and thinner the air became, which it was so cold in fact that she wondered how the pets with her would be able to endure a day or more being in such conditions.

She lost phone service and eventually she fell asleep while awaiting their landing and transfer to another plane. Half a day passed, and they landed before her phone started to blow up with text messages from all of her so called family members asking her where she was at.

Finally Alice went on sent one last text telling her to stay away from their house.

After she sneaked out of the cargo hold, she made her way over to another plane heading for Seattle, and she got in without detection where she resumed her nap. Once she arrived in Seattle, she got a phone call from Alice. She did not sound angry, but she was very frustrated and exhausted.

"You need to be careful going over there…the Volturi are going to be everywhere. I wouldn't go home" she warned.

"I was planning on going to Jake's place" Nessie said.

"Be careful…there is something more dangerous than the Volturi lurking over in La Push…"

"Stop hiding things from me! What is it that has gotten you all to run away and leave Jake to die!?" Nessie shouted into the phone.

There was a long pause before Alice sighed heavily. "I think that Jake is working with real werewolves. This whole thing is a mess. I didn't want you getting wrapped up into this and end up scarred for life"

"I don't get scars" Nessie retorted.

"No…Renesmee…I mean it…Your Father and I have seen some truly horrible things…"

"I'm not going to let him and Grandpa die!" Nessie shouted before she hung up the phone and switched it off out of anger and spite.

She made her way back to Forks and went directly to Jacob's house, which she knocked on the front door lightly like she always did. There was no answer. She knocked again. Before she was about to knock a third time, she heard heavy footsteps coming from the back of the house. She gulped knowing that Jacob was not in a very good mood most likely.

He quietly cracked the door open and looked down at her without saying a word she knew there was a problem. She thought that he would be ecstatic to see her, but he seemed annoyed. "Jake?"

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I've come here to help! Why else would I be here!?"

He scratched just in front of his ear and looked away. "I don't want you getting hurt. You really shouldn't have came back" he told her.

"Is that Nessie?" Billy shouted.

Jacob looked back as Billy pulled at the door. He looked very clammy and out of it, but he too seemed very upset with her being here. "D-dad? How did you get out of bed?"

Billy ignored him and rolled up closer to her. He bared a very strange scent that she had never came across before. "You've put yourself in a lot of danger coming here…you know that?"

Nessie looked around expecting more wolves to show up but none were there. She grabbed Jacob's hand and initiated a one sided telepathic conversation with him. "Where is everybody? What's going on? Don't you know the Volturi are coming? They aren't to be taken lightly!"

"I know" Jacob said lowly.

"Is that why you're working with real werewolves?" Nessie added.

Jacob growled while his eyes narrowed upon her with rage building. "I'm not! They are…" he spoke with maliciousness.

"Who's they?"

"Leah…she's taken Seth, Paul, and a couple of the others" He muttered looking around seeming to smell something.

"That bitch! I knew she was no good"

"She didn't have a choice…none of them did. She imprinted on one of them!" he corrected her.

"What? How does that work?"

"You shouldn't get yourself involved with this. It's not your battle" Billy spoke to her severely. He seemed to be extremely nervous right now and wanted her gone. He kept looking around behind her, and Jacob kept his eyes out into the woods as well.

"Why is it not my battle!? Why do you let this guy fight? I'm perfectly capable in fighting alongside you! You need me!" She protested.

Jacob gritted his teeth and looked towards his father giving into her whim, but Billy stood firm. "My answer is still no"

"Is that the dhampir girl?" someone asked from behind.

Nessie was startled from how inhuman and beastly it sounded, and she quickly took in a breath turning her head around towards the well disguised Fen. Jacob stood by the door staring him down with contempt, and it took a moment for Nessie to register who he was. She did not know what kind of a threat he posed initially, but she subconsciously backed towards Jacob. "He knows what I am?" she asked.

Fen walked towards them, and Jacob stepped out getting between him and her. "What do you want?"

"You know why I'm here…or maybe you aren't really a wolf" Fen said arrogantly.

Nessie gulped sensing Jacob's anger and his reluctance to fight him. Deep down, she resented the fact that her once powerful proud protective alpha wolf was now reduced down to a submissive subordinate to some monster with incomprehensible abilities. "Is he really that strong?" she asked as she touched his arm.

Jacob winced and rubbed his abdomen recalling the internal injury that was inflicted upon him. "He's more dangerous than the Volturi…I know that much"

Nessie seemed to take it as hyperbole, but Fen laughed seeing her skepticism as he came up even closer. "Maybe she would like a demonstration…"

"No! I forbid you from harming her!" Billy said which Fen looked towards Jacob almost instantaneously. "Or my son!" he raised his voice. He grabbed the armrests of his chair and he was about to pick himself up before he stopped himself. Fen watched him carefully, and Nessie thought it was just Billy's natural instinct to protect his son.

Before anything else could devolve into a fight, Leah and Seth ran down the road and stopped at the front of the driveway growling at Fen. "What do you think you're doing!?" her voice boomed.

Nessie stared at Leah noticing her sudden weight gain as she walked up towards Fen, and her eyes were drawn to Leah's chest like a magnet astonished with a certain bounce and jiggle that was not there before. Her eyes wondered down her softer body to her plumped up thighs that had swallowed up the gap once between them. "Leah…you look…different" she said finally.

Leah crossed her arms over her chest uncomfortably and turned her body trying to conceal her newly acquired endowed bust and shapely figure. She was not entirely on board with the attention she was drawing. "I don't look that different" she said dismissively.

Seth wrapped his arm around Fen playfully. "Hey, don't worry about this guy! He's one of us!" he said with that big cheery smile trying to diffuse the confrontation; although, Fen growled lowly. Nessie thought Seth was a goner, but somehow the only act of aggression was Fen grabbing Seth's hand and lifting it off from his shoulder. Leah was well within an arm's reach from Fen from that point onward.

"Why is he in that costume?" Nessie asked.

Leah and Seth both hesitated, which Jacob took this opportunity to pounce. "Yea, would you like to tell her about what a freak show he is under all that?" he asked with a big smug grin.

"This costume has nothing to do with hiding my good looks. Leah has told me all of the Cullens' little quirks. I thought I could have some fun with the one with Precognitive powers and the Telepath" He said simply.

"Good luck with that…Alice can only see the futures of vampires and humans…She can't sense mine, the wolves, or anyone who is about to die. With me here, you won't be able to attack her or my dad anymore" Nessie shouted seeming very proud of herself.

Fen soon removed his mask, and she tensed up making eye contact with his yellow eyes and feral appearance truly horrified with what the monster looked like. "Is that right?" he asked almost condescendingly. She felt sick to her stomach seeing how pleased he was knowing that she probably made a mistake. "You want to tell me anything else about their limitations? Maybe you'd like to tell Jacob how your powers work"

"Wh-wh-what are you talking about!?" Nessie asked in confusion.

"You know…impressed how you were able to trick Jacob into thinking he imprinted on you" he said.

She shook her head, and she started to hyperventilate. "No! No-no-no-no-no! That's not how my powers work!" she shouted before she looked back at Jacob staring down Fen. "He's my wolfie!"

"Fen! Knock it off!" Leah said gripping his arm trying to twist it.

Billy gritted his teeth watching Leah pull Fen away, but he looked towards Nessie. "Don't listen to him. Do not try to fight him! He likes to stir everyone up to make himself feel better about his sister!" he said before he started backing up.

Fen growled at him and took a few steps forth before Leah pulled back on him. "Fen, no!"

"Why don't you give your grumpy ass old man a blue rare steak! The bloodier the better!" Fen retorted.

Billy stopped abruptly and stared at him down. "I've always liked my steaks rare" he said coldly. He wheeled himself to the back of the house, and Fen clenched his fist. "You better clutch that dreamcatcher extra tight tonight old man!" he shouted out.

Leah glared at him and twisted his arm even more. "That's no way to speak to an elder!"

He glanced back at her intensely and Nessie knew he was telling her something telepathically as Leah and Seth both fell into deathly silence. She looked back towards Jacob and touched his hand. "What are they saying?" she asked having their own semi-telepathic conversation

"I don't know…Leah has formed a pack with this guy, and I've been told he the grandson of Taha Aki. I have my doubts. He's never transformed into a wolf like any of us can. Everyone from the other tribe says that he's corrupted and never will be able to do it. Stuck somewhere in between wolf and man" he stated simply.

"Other tribes? Are they wolves too?"

"They aren't all wolves nor can they all transform. They are very talented and gifted with fighting the paranormal, and they all have been trickling in throughout the week. Everyone of them who has come a crossed him have been horrified at his existence" he explained.

"Because he's a real werewolf?"

"Because I'm a werewolf with spirit warrior powers" Fen's voice said inside her head.

She gasped and looked towards Fen with trepidation. Her skin crawled and her nausea grew worse. "No way! Is this how you have been attacking my family?" she asked.

"I haven't attacked them…yet. You'll never know when I'll attack them, and your mother can't hold a barrier around them indefinitely" he told her.

She glared at him. "Want to bet on it!?"

"Heh, challenge accepted, but you know that I will already succeed…I'll do it over and over just to prove you wrong"

"You don't need to prove me wrong! I believe you! Just please leave them alone!"

"Eh, nah…If you want to protect them so bad, then why don't you all stay away from Forks. I'm sure you can live in your other twenty houses you own"

"But the treaty!?"

"Fuck the treaty! The Puyallup tribe didn't sign it, and I'm not married to Leah. It doesn't apply to me. Tch, you can take your dog with you" he said before he turned his back on them and walked off. Leah and Seth followed behind him, and she shivered sheading a tear.

"Why? What did we do to him?"

"Don't feel like you're the only one…he hates everyone"

"Then why is he here!?"

"Because his grandfather asked him to be here…then the whole Leah imprinting on him happened. I didn't think she of all people would be telling anyone to be nice. He almost killed Sam"

"What? Why!?"

"His grandmother wanted him to show us what a fighting a fully trained spirit warrior was like. My guess was he ulterior motives to show us the dark side. He not only stopped Sam's heart, but he forced him to revert back to human form. He tried to do it to me but missed. It's like he's not just attacking your body…he's attacking your soul" he explained.

"That's crazy!" she shouted.

"Yea, there are a lot of them like that…but none of them can turn into a monster like that"

"Isn't it a full moon tonight? Shouldn't we be worried?" She asked.

"Yea…we should. This place is crawling with them…It's going to be a long night…that's for sure" he said before he went back inside the house. Nessie followed him inside and sat down on the couch going through her texts before she drifted off into another nap.

In her dream she was walking into a void. She presumed this to be a tunnel as it was cold and damp. There was a thin film of water splashing beneath her feet. She could feel a faint warm breeze ahead of her, and she stopped feeling that same sensation as before. Then there was a deep familiar grow by Fen however he appeared as a towering colossal black wolf with glowing yellow eyes looking down upon her. The tunnel was filled with his immense tainted aura. She could have sworn his fangs were as long as she was tall.

"Have you decided on who's side you'll be fighting on?" He asked her with a voice that resonated through her body.

"Who's side are you on?" She asked.

He blew hot air on her through his nose and narrowed his eyes upon her. "What happens when a star grows too big and burns too bright?"

"It dies?"

"Mmph, I see the Volturi as just that, quickly burning away all their fuel and resources until they can no longer is able to sustain themselves…you know stars don't just simply die. They collapse in onto themselves and erupt into the one of biggest of explosions in our universe" He explained.

"You didn't really answer my question…I mean you aren't fighting for the noblest of reasons"

"So you take the Volturi's side?"

"N-n-no! I mean I don't think what they're doing is right…but…" she mumbled to herself before she slumped down and looked down at the ground timidly. "I don't know what to do. If I do anything, they kill me and everyone I love"

"They're going to kill everyone you love anyway…join me and I will guarantee that you and your dog will survive" he said with a very forceful but tempting beastly tone.

"Stop saying that! Jacob is not a dog!" she objected.

"I'm sorry that would be offensive to dogs" He said before he laughed evilly. "If you won't join us, then turn back and stay out of this fight. Take Charlie with you" he warned her.

"I'm not running away"

Fen bared his teeth at her and growled. "So be it!" he roared before he stood up on all fours and stared her down. "I'm not going to hold back for your sake. I warned you"

"Please don't destroy the village! Everyone will die!" She raised her voice out of desperation. Fen turned his back and started to walk back into the abyss. "Hey! Hey! Don't walk out on me!" she shouted running after him. She thought she would catch up after him, and she reached out to grab where she though he would be, nothing!

"We'll cross paths again dhampir" Fen's voice echoed through sounding very distant.

She woke up in the middle of the night and found that her parents were there. Her mother holding onto her hand and her father was staring into the floor about to set flames to it with the amount of flames to his eyes. Her mother gulped in disbelief as to what she had seen. "Hey, was this the monster haunting your dreams?" she asked him.

"Yes…He is" he muttered.

Bella hugged Nessie tightly in an attempt to console her. "I'm so sorry! I had no idea that he was that big!" she cried.

"Mom! I'm fine! Really!" She shouted uncomfortably.

"We should get back to Charlie's place before the werewolves finish transforming" Her father said stoically.

"You might want to hurry then!" Jacob spoke up. He handed Nessie a dream catcher. "Here…this is legit. It should protect you from Evil Magic!"

Nessie looked at the dream catcher with skeptically. "Will it protect me from him?"

Jacob took in a deep breath, and her father interrupted. "No, he's not evil…but he isn't good…his brand of magic is ambiguous enough to circumvent the protection behind it" he said.

Jacob scowled at him. "I was going to say that a dreamcatcher is only as powerful as its creator. I was hoping that he would be weaker than the one who made it"

"Well who made it?" Bella asked.

"His Grandmother" Jacob answered.
