Chapter 19: Thirst
Nessie's POV
The smell coming from the man was enough to drive me crazy. I did not understand why I needed his blood so badly. I only knew that his blood running down my throat would ease the pain. It would ease the strong burning that I felt in my throat. The only thing that was keeping me from completely losing my mind all over again was Carlisle's ice cold strong arms holding me tightly. Besides that I didn't want to hurt anyone. I didn't want to be this monstrous person that just drank people's blood. I didn't even know why I was doing this in the first place. Maybe I was just going crazy. Okay there was no maybe about it. I was definitely going crazy! After all what sane person would try to drink someone's blood for the second time in 48 hours? What sane person would even drink another person's blood in the first place?!
"We need to get you out of here," I heard Carlisle say. I just nodded my head in agreement. I did not dare to move, speak, or even breathe. I was to afraid that if I opened my mouth or caught a whiff of the scent of blood I would lose my mind again. I had absolutely no idea what was going on or how to stop it. My grandfather took me to a room at the far end of the hospital. As far as I could physically get from the bleeding man.
Carlisle turned to me and said "Stay here. I mean it Nessie. Stay here until I come back," he shut the door before I even had a chance to respond. I stayed in place but inside my head my thoughts were racing. I thought back to the night when Liam and I were fighting to drink that other man's blood. How we nearly killed someone in pursuit of blood. That is when it hit me like a ton of bricks. Liam. Maybe, just maybe that whatever was happening to me was happening to him to. The question though was, what was happening to me?
I looked down at the IV that was hooked up to my arm and sighed. There was only one thing that I was certain of at this point and it was that Carlisle was right. I needed to get out of the hospital. I needed to get away from the blood. My mind would not be completely clear until I was away from the smell of blood. The temptation of blood. I also did not understand why Carlisle was helping me. Yeah, he was my grandfather, but he had to have noticed what I was about to do. He had to have seen me for the monster that I really am deep down. Maybe it was not to help me but it was to protect everyone else. Then why would he put himself in danger by being near me though. None of this was making any sense and it frustrated the hell out of me.
I was startled when I heard the sound of the doorknob being turned. I let out the breath I had been holding when I saw that it was just my grandfather. "Come on Nessie we are leaving," he said as he quickly took out the IV that was still connected to my arm.
"But no one has signed my release papers yet,"
"That has already been taken care of. We need to get you out of here right now,"
I did not question my grandfather any further. I just did as he told me to do until we were finally out of the hospital. I did not say anything when he instructed me to get into his car either. I had no idea where he was taking me. Just that he was taking me away from the hospital.
I took a deep breath. "I'm sorry,"
Carlisle looked at me in surprise. "What are you apologizing for? What happened was not your fault. Or are you going to tell me that you were in control of your actions this entire time?"
"No I-that's the thing actually. I have no idea what is going on. I have no idea what is happening with me. I'm just crazy I guess,"
"Renemee you are not crazy. Do not think for one second that you are crazy,"
"Then if I am not crazy what am I then?"
He sighed. "You remember a lot but there is one crucial part of your life that you do not remember,"
That was certainly true. I may have remembered my family but there was still a lot of blank spots in my memory. There was still a lot of things that didn't make any sense at all. Things that I could not figure out no matter how much I tried to figure it out.
"There is a lot of things that I don't remember. When I posted the video online I thought all of my questions would be answered. If anything though I have a million more questions in my head,"
"Such as?"
"Why don't you all age? Don't think I haven't noticed that you are really young to be my grandfather. Or that my parents look like teenagers. What is with the ice cold hard as rock skin? What is it with the paleness? The gold eyes? Jacob is the only one without all those things and even he looks really young to have known me all those years ago,"
"We were wondering when you were going to ask those questions. Honestly I am surprised that you didn't ask them sooner,"
"So can you please tell me why?"
"I don't know how else to tell you this," he said without answering the question.
"Well?"
"We are vampires Nessie. Except for you and Jacob. You are half vampire-half human. Jacob is a shapeshifter who can turn into a wolf,
