Hey guys, here's a new chapter. I would love me some reviewers!
When I woke up I was a tad hangover. The moonshine which Tim proved me with had done its job. I sighted annoyed and threw back the blankets. As soon as my feet hit the floor they were in the room.
'Goodmorning, did you sleep well?' Bella beamed.
I let out another sight and couldn't stop myself from rolling my eyes. It had been a late one yesterday and I was a little chagrin. Tim and I talked until 4 in the morning before he left. Vampires didn't need their sleep, but unfortunately I did.
'Can I get you some breakfast?' Bella asked me.
'For fucks sake' I groaned as I walked into the bathroom and slammed the door behind me. I couldn't deal with their smothering right now. I brushed my teeth and combed my hair. My hair was still falling out, but thank god it was less than before. When I spit out the toothpaste there was still blood in it, but my gums stopped bleeding soon after so that was a plus.
Annoyed I changed into a new outfit and walked out the bathroom. It seems that Bella got the hint because for the first time in a very long time the room was empty. I sighted in relief. I was hungry, but I didn't had the energy to confront them downstairs again. I sat down on the bed and folded my arms. What the hell was I supposed to do today? There was no television and no books, crap they even had my phone locked away. Usually when I had a free day I went sightseeing or shopping, mom and me always had a fair amount of cash so money was never a problem. We traveled a lot so there was always something to see, but here in Forks? I was sure this town had nothing to do and nothing to see. Shopping it was then, I still was in possession of a duffelbag filled with drugmoney. However when they moved me here the Cullens took possession of everything I owed. Including the money. I needed to request that back I decided. So I rose from the bed and walked downstairs, they were scattered around the house and I wasn't sure who to ask for it. I walked into the kitchen postponing a conversation as long as possible. Esme, Rosalie and Edward were in the kitchen. I tried my best to ignore them the best I could while I made some coffee.
'Goodmorning Renesmee' Esme tried. I just gave a stern nod and waited for my coffee.
'How are you feeling?' Edward asked me. Annoyed I glanced over and mouthed 'fine'. There was a loaded silence after that. As I added milk and sugar in my coffee I heard Carlisle whistle from his office. As I listened white hot flashes went through my heads. 'Fuck' I mumbled as I steadied myself clutching to the counter. I closed my eyes and tried to breathe through it.
'Grandpaaaaa look what I made' a mini version of myself shouted while running through this kitchen.
'Well look at that, it's a butterfly.' Carlisle said as he swooped me up in his arms and took the drawing from me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and proudly watched how he hung it on the fridge.
It was a shard of a memory that once was mine. When I opened my eyes it was gone, but I was still able to recall it. Esme was standing right in front of me with a tissue in her hand. At first I didn't understand why she handed it to me, but soon I realized I was having a nosebleed. I grabbed the tissue and wiped away the blood.
'What happened?' Edward asked.
'Nothing' I answered annoyed. 'Nothing happened'
'Renesmee. We are here to help you. The least you can do is give us a normal answer' He scolded me. I grabbed my coffee and tried my best to keep a straight face, my other hand had clutched into a fist and my nails were digging in my skin. I was trying, but this man angered me so much. It was a good thing he couldn't read my mind, because if he did he would learn some new curses I picked up on the road.
'Where are my stuff?' I countered.
'Your clothes are all in your room, are you missing something? I washed everything, but maybe I left something in the washer' Esme replied instead.
'She doesn't mean her clothes. She means her cash and ID's. She is probably planning her escape already. Once we patched her up she is going to make a run for it' Rosalie bitched.
I let out a annoyed sight and shifted my attention towards Edward. 'I want access to my money and my phone' I hissed annoyed through my teeth.
'I will accompany you to Forks so you can get whatever you need' He offered.
'I don't need a fucking escort' I exclaimed frustrated. What was I a child?
'Language' He warned me.
The frustration was building up inside me more and more. I couldn't help it but I had the feeling these people did their very best to anger me in the best way they could. Annoyed I threw my cup on the floor where it scattered into pieces. The dark liquid pooled onto the white tiles of the kitchenfloor.
'Renesmee! We will not tolerate this attitude any longer' Edward yelled at me. I could see my actions had angered him. Good.
'Stop acting like you are my father!' I screamed back 'You are not my father. You can't tell me to do shit. You haven't been my father for years. I don't know you at all and you don't know me. ' My irritation turned to rage by the time I was done screaming. Edward was furious now, I could see it in his eyes. His eyes were pained but were burning with rage the same time. I was wondering if he would start screaming back, but he didn't. He just walked out of the room leaving us in silence. The others didn't know what to do. I grabbed the remains of the glass and threw them away. Then I cleaned up the coffee and walked back upstairs. I closed the door and sat down on my bed. There was so much anger, frustration and misery that I started to cry. I didn't want to show my weakness but the tears kept coming and coming. I wrapped my arms around my knees and wept for the first time in a long time. I heard the door open. Oh god what now? Did they come to gloat?
Carlisle sat down next to me. I didn't look up or say anything for a few seconds he remained silent as well. Then he pressed my jacket in my hands. Now I did look up with questioning eyes.
'Come on' he said and stood up. I wiped away my tears and followed him downstairs. He got into the car and he drove off. Still in silence. I turned on the heating and stared at the window. We stopped at a place that was called Sue's – The best bagels and coffee in town!. We walked in and took a seat. Soon a brown haired woman come to take our order. I looked at Carlisle who told me to order whatever I wanted. I ordered a cappuccino and she recommended the maple pie which I ordered as well. The café was quiet, there were a few other people who were sitting on the other side out of hearing range.
'Renesmee' Carlisle started 'We need to establish some ground rules, this can't go on like this. This is tearing my family up, they are hurt and in pain by the way you are acting up' he said but went silent when the woman brought me my coffee and pie. I thanked her and took a bite of pie, which was really good. As I chewed down the pie Carlisle continued 'Also I don't believe you are happy at the moment. We need to change that for both of you. I want you to be happy, but I can't let you hurt the rest of my children like this'
I took a sip of my coffee and thought about my answer. 'I don't do it on purpose' I said honestly.
'But they anger me so so much. I closed my eyes trying to shake off the irritation that flooded over me again . 'I've been mum's little girl since my first cry. They are what I remember, what I consider to be my family. And now I'm here stuck with you. You people are watching my every move, you are breathing in my neck all the time. I don't have any privacy, they are smothering me constantly.' I blurted out.
Carlisle sighted and frowned. ´I can understand that you need some time and space to adjust, I also understand that this is really hard for you and I want you to know that I, and my family, are very grateful that you decided to stay. But this attitude, you trying to lure us out and escalate things needs to stop Renesmee.´ He gave me an encouraging smile. I took another sip from my coffee and stared out of the window. A brown haired guy walked in with a toolbox, which made that annoying bel ring. He was whistling a familiar tune, but I couldn't recall which song it was.
´Oh good Seth you´re here. Can you please check the lighting in the men´s room?' The brown haired woman who just brought me my order beamed at him. He smiled and told her he was on it, which was all way more interesting than having this conversation with Carlisle. Or at least I pretended it was.
But there was no escaping this conversation I decided and cleared my throat.
'You know what it is, I never asked for this..' I started. But then suddenly the white flashes were back and my mind was dragged elsewhere.
I was in a room with all sorts of books, big and white. It looked like Carlisle's office but much bigger. Or maybe I was smaller? I let my hand ran over the old and dusty books which were my favorite. There were voices behind me, calling for me.
And then I was back in the café again. It had been seconds but my mind felt blurry and confused. Another flash of a memory that once had been mine. I blinked a few times to regain my eyesight.
'Are you okay?' Carlisle asked worried and grabbed my hand. His cold thumb pressed against my wrist checking my pulse.
'Yeah I'm fine' I said while I pulled back my hand. 'I just get these shards of memories sometimes. They confuse me a little' I told him honestly. He nodded 'I can imagine. What do you see in those memories?' I shrugged my shoulders. 'Everything and nothing at the same time. Some are really specific, showing me you and me. Others are just shards of a memory they just show me vague images.'
'I'm sorry it has to be like this Renesmee' He said meaning the bond breaking and reversing the damage with Enzo.
'Yeah me too' I sighted. Then he gestured to my face. 'You have a nosebleed'
When I touched my nose I could tell he was right by the warm thick blood that was on the tip of my fingers. 'Oh Shit' I mumbled and stood up to hurry to the ladies room. I glanced in the mirror but fortunately it wasn't that bad. Just a few drops of blood. I got some toilet paper and pressed it against my nose until it was done bleeding. As I stood there waiting another woman walked in, she was in her fifties with short black hair. She walked over to the sink, pushing me away in her doing so, and splashed some water on her face. At first I wanted to say something, because it was a little rude to push me away like that. But I could tell she wasn't feeling well. Her face turned grey and shakily she held on to the sink.
'Are you okay?' I asked her. She didn't responded, but just let out a sort of groan. I asked if there was something I could do for her but again there was no response. And then suddenly she tilted over and fell on the cold hard floor. As I stared at her lying there I froze, there was panic and chaos in my head and I knew what I needed to do, but I couldn't move. The door flew open and the electrician who came for the lighting in the men's room saw us. Fortunately he knew what to do, he shouted for Carlisle who was there in seconds. He rolled over the woman and checked her pulse and breathing.
The electrician called 911 and then escorted me back to my seat. In shock I sat down and stared at my grandfather who was trying very hard to save that woman's life. The brown haired woman was assisting him where she could. After a few minutes the medics came. Carlisle told them what happened and what they needed to do to save this woman's life. While he was doing so he looked over to me, his kind angelic eyes found mine and tried to calm me down. He jumped up when they put her on the stretcher, he hurried over to my side.
'It's okay. It's going to be okay' He reassured me. But when my eyes found his I noticed his eyes were trailing off to the ambulance.
'Go help them' I whispered. 'They need you'
'Oh Renesmee, I can't leave you here alone now can I?' He smiled at me.
'I can take her home Carlisle' The electrician said. Which was really weird because I had no idea who he was and he probably had no idea who I was but whatever. Then the paramedics were calling Carlisle because the woman had a seizure and Carlisle hurried over there. The brown haired boy sat down on the spot Carlisle sat before and smiled at me.
'Hey are you okay?' He asked me. His brown eyes reminded me of Jacob's, they probably shared the same lineage because they shared some more similarities. They both had tan skin, wore a t-shirt when it was freezing outside and had that same kind of grin. He's was more boyish and innocent that Jacob's, but he seemed a little younger as well.
'Of course, you're part of the pack' I said, more to myself than towards him. 'That's why you know who I am and why you offered to bring me home.'
He gave me a half smile and nodded. 'Yes my name is Seth, I am one of Jacob's packmates. If I am correct you are Renesmee right?'
I nodded. 'Yes I am Renesmee. Nice to meet you Seth.'
'You look a little startled, are you sure you are okay?' He asked me with a soothing voice.
I chuckled. 'I never said I was. Did you see me there? I was fucking useless. I completely froze, it was a good thing you were there otherwise who knows..'
'Don't do that to yourself' He interrupted me. 'It's normal to freeze in those situations, you are not a paramedic or a nurse. You can't blame yourself for freezing in there.'
'You think?' I asked him and he nodded. He pointed to the maple pie that was still on the table.
'Eat, it will make you feel better. And be honest did you ever eat a better pie than mom's?' He grinned.
'That is your mom? I thought you were just the electrician' I said while I nodded towards the woman who was pouring in some coffee. He grinned and his brown eyes lightened up.
'Sure thing, and I'm no electrician. I try to help around where I can, cut the costs. But I am a teacher by profession.'
'That great' I said because I didn't know what else to say.
'Well not really, kids these days are really hard to motivate. You are trying to teach them new and cool stuff and they just act like they don't care. Their phones are almost glued to their hands, but that's not the worst thing. The worst thing is that they pretend that it's not cool to learn new things. Because if you like to learn new things you are a nerd, and if you are a nerd you are not cool. And they all just want to be cool kids with their ripped up jeans, Iphones and god knows what.' He sighted and I couldn't help but chuckle. His mother walked over to our table and put down two cups of coffee and a slice of pie for Seth as well. She laid her hand on his shoulder and gave him a caring smile. We thanked her and she hurried back to the counter to finish some more orders.
'What subject do you teach?' I asked him. He was easy to talk to and I started to relax a little.
'Biology and math' He grinned. 'Let me guess you hated math when you were in school right?'
My face flushed and I broke eye contact when I answered his question. It was a little awkward to bring this up, but I didn't feel the need to lie to him.
'I ehhm never went to school' I admitted. This surprised him, and for a moment he stared at me in disbelief. He shook his head 'I'm sorry I totally forgot about the situation. That was rude of me'
I gave him a polite smile and shrugged 'It's okay. And for the record you seem like great teacher to me' His face lightened up when I said that. We talked about his career and his mom's café and for the first time in years I made a new friend.
After an hour or so he took me home, Seth was a real people pleaser. He never stopped talking and I loved it. We talked about so many things that I lost track.
'You ever thought about going to college?' He asked me as we drove over the deserted road.
'I can't'
'But you get older right. It's not like you stuck looking like a seventeen year old forever right?' His question was a little direct, but I didn't mind.
'I think so. But I lack all kind of basic education so I couldn't go to college if I wanted to'
He seemed lost in thought for a while. I even needed to remind him to take the right turn because we drove past it. 'You know, if you want I can tutor you. You know I'm a teacher for god's sake. I can teach you the basics and if you want you can proceed with your education in any way you see fit.'
I thought about that for a while as we drove the last miles to the Cullen's mansion. I never had an education, I tried to teach myself as much a possible but… I didn't have meaning in my life. Looking back at what happened in the café… Instead of killing people, what if I could help them? Or maybe instead of people maybe animals? Maybe I could become a vet and help stray animals. That would give some purpose to my life.
'I would like that very much' I said as I opened the door. Seth nodded and seemed pleased by my answer. 'Good than we'll start next Tuesday. I'll pick you up at six then.' I nodded and closed the door, he honked before he turned and drove back to Forks. I opened the door to the mansion and walked in.
Two weeks later
JPOV
'These ribs are great Jake' Seth grinned as he grabbed the last one of the plate. Quill protested but before he could finish his sentence the rib was halfway Seth's stomach.
'Oh man' he sighted as he glanced over to Seth irritated. 'That was mine'
'No it wasn't' Seth grinned. I grabbed a napkin and cleaned off my hands.
'So Seth tell me, I heard you were hanging out with Renesmee?' I asked him. Quill told me that Seth was tutoring her now. I wasn't mad or anything like that, because I knew that he would never try something with my imprint, besides Seth had his own imprint: Elouise. One of his students. With her being just seventeen years old Seth believed she was far too young to be in a forever relationship. So he decided he would give her the chance to go to college and live the student life before he would swoop her off her feet and steal her heart. Besides it was not done that a teacher would start a relationship with one of his students, even though she was almost graduated. The public needed to forget that he was her teacher first. So Seth decided that it was better to wait a little bit, even though it was breaking his heart every day. But for true love you did what you needed to do.
'Yeah I'm tutoring. She is a sweet girl Jake, you are a very lucky man.'
'But to be honest, she does come from a fucked up situation.' Quill said 'How is she handling that?'
'I have the feeling she is managing just fine. But she is young, way too young for all this shit' Seth grunted. 'But when we are at my place and there are no others around she is lovely. Polite, smart, funny, witty. You're a lucky bloke imprinting on her.' He said as he cleaned his hands on a napkin.
I nodded. 'Yeah I am. I am going to visit her tonight, I just need to earn her trust. Whenever I see her it is still a little awkward because of the shooting and stuff.'
'Yeah that is pretty fucked up indeed. So how did things go with Sarah? I forgot to ask last time.'
I cleared my throat. 'Well..'
'She didn't handle it quite well. There was lots of screaming and throwing with stuff. She couldn't understand that after all these year I wanted to break up so suddenly. She just didn't understand it at all, and man I mean I can't blame her. But she went back to het mother a few weeks ago, I haven't spoken with her since.'
'Fucked up man.' Quill sighted. He stood up grabbed some beers from the fridge and handed them to us. We sat there for a while just chatting about whatever came to mind.
At eight Seth stood up and grabbed his coat. 'Shit I totally forget about the time' He exclaimed.
'I have to hurry, I have to be at the school around nine. We throwing this fundraiser. We have to renovate the gym otherwise we will not pass examination next year and the school probably has to close' He sighted deep. 'So wish me luck'.
'I hope you will receive all the money you need. La Push High is a great school' I said and handed him the check from the police department.
'Thanks Jake, I hope so too. There are a lot of memories bound to that place. Let's just hope the kids get the chance to make some more'. Quill stood up too and grabbed his jacket as well.
'I'll head out too. It's my turn for Patrol tonight' He rolled his eyes and sighted deep. The supernatural life sometimes was hard on us.
After they left I took a shower and shaved. When I was presentable I drove to the Cullen's mansion. I didn't turn on the radio because I needed to clear my head. So I drove in silence until I arrived at my destination and parked the car there. The mansion was so much more alive since that night. The lights were burning bright, Esme redid the garden and I think they even repainted the house so it looked like it did before. I walked to the kitchen door and when I opened it I noticed faint smell of chocolate milk.
'Hello someone home?' I shouted into the empty kitchen. I heard some footsteps coming my way and a warming smile of Esme welcomed me.
'Jacob I wasn't expecting you' She said. 'Do you want something to drink ? Have you eaten yet?'
'Yes Esme, I got some take out with the guys. Thank you for the offer' I replied kindly. She smiled and gestured to go inside the living room. So I walked after her, It was quiet in the mansion. Like she read my mind she told me most of the coven was out hunting. She and Alice stayed at home to look after Renesmee. Alice was watching TV, or at least I thought she was. She was staring at the screen but was unresponsive when I greeted her. It was still a little weird being around the Cullens, we had a lot of history together. History we both rather forget, but sometimes couldn't. My mind wandered of to the time Bella was pregnant with Renesmee and we tried to persuade her to abort her. Thank god we didn't push through and my imprint was born onto this world.
I heard her footsteps upstairs and decided to greet her. She was the reason I was here after all.
When I walked into her room she was sitting on the bed books scattered around her.
'Hey stranger' I whispered. She looked up and those brown eyes drilled in mine.
'Hello' She said and turned her attention back to her books. I got a chair and sat down next to the bed.
'What are you doing?' I asked her.
'Math' She responded without looking up.
'In your free time? That's some dedication there young lady.' I folded my hands and let my head rest on them.
She sighted, she seemed irritated. 'What do you want?' She said while she shit the book and threw it on the cupboard.
'I just came to check on you. See how you are doing'
'I am doing great. Just great' She bitched and stood up.
'I was wondering if you have plans tonight. I thought maybe we could see a movie or something?' I asked, not impressed by her attitude. 'I was just hoping we could begin again. Getting to know each other a little bit more. Maybe even become friends.'
She was staring at me with a blank expression. But before she could answer Alice came in to the room.
'There's trouble, we got visitors. Not the kind ones this time' She whispered and then rushed downstairs. I gave Renesmee a look, but she didn't seem impressed at all by the news. She just picked up her book and started reading again. The next second my Cellphone started buzzing with the same news. I sighted, couldn't I just have a normal night with the girl I loved? Any time I even tried to spend time with her something like this came up.
'What about tomorrow then?' I asked her. She looked up from her books. 'Sure. Whatever' and returned to her reading once again. Regaining her trust and actually making conversation seemed to be much harder than I thought. But tomorrow was a new day with new chances I told myself. I hurried downstairs undressed myself outside and phased into my wolf form.
When I changed I immediately tuned into our mutual pack radio.
'Shit there are a lot of them!' Embry said.
'We're at the meadow in the north Jake. Hurry they are closing in on us! The Cullens are here too. We can hold our ground if we play this right.'
So I hurried to the meadow where I met up with the others. Like they said the Cullens were there too. We formed an attack and defense position and waited. There was a large coven heading our way. Mostly men, which worried me. It looked more like an army than a coven. When they set foot in the meadow they seemed not impressed by the sight of us. I let out a low growl and waited for them to make the first move, but they didn't. They just waited, so after a while Carlisle stepped forward.
'What brought you here?' He asked. One of the men, which seemed to be the leader of them stepped forward as well.
'Are you the Cullens?' He asked with a strong accent. Carlisle nodded and asked again what their business was. But he ignored them. So we waited for an other minute or so. I heard someone approaching from my right, and at first I thought it was a trap but it wasn't enough men for a trap. One maybe two at most. I informed Quill that he needed to keep on eye on it and he promised me would.
But the source of the sound soon introduced itself when I heard her curse. I wasn't the only one who noticed and on my guard I waited for them to appear. First Esme stepped into the meadow, followed by Renesmee and two other unfamiliar vampires. They were dragging Renesmee by her arm.
'Get your filthy hands of me!' She yelled while she pushed against him. Because this didn't seemed to work she kicked him right in the balls. This however gave a reaction and he loosed his grip so she could pull back her arm. As he groaned and muttered a few curse words she smuggle looked at him and spun around inspecting her surroundings.
'Ofcourse I should have known.' She said irritated.
'Hello Father.'
The man who lead this coven gave her a half smile.
'Renesmee.' He simply stated.
'Why are you here father?' She asked as she stepped forward to face him. She kept her distance not coming within reach. There was confusion on our side of the group. I wasn't sure what to do, because killing her father sure wasn't good for our relationship. But I had to if things escalated, however I had my guard up and was ready to attack. Same thing for the Cullens, I could see it in their eyes, they would do anything to protect Renesmee. Even if it meant giving their lives to do so.
'Your mother wants you to come home Renesmee' Her father said softly. Even though he was called her father, I wondered if he was even happy to see her. It looked like he was irritated, angry and bored being here. Not a response a normal father would have when they hadn't seen their daughter in months.
Both the groups were silent, almost if they were holding their breaths waiting for her answer.
'Oh Fuck You' She said and put her hands on her hips. 'You want me to go home with you? Hell no.'
'Renesmee stop being such a little pest' He hissed. 'You're going home with me or I'll make sure you never see your mother again.'
'Fuck you' She just replied. 'I'm not going anywhere with you. Not after what you did father. You go ahead, do you worst. I don't fucking care. I fucking HATE you.' She shouted.
She spun on her heals and started to walk away.
'Renesmee you wandering pest, where do you think you're going?' He shouted after her.
'I got better places to be father' She shouted back and disappeared into the woods leaving us clueless. So we stood there not knowing what to do at all. One of them made a move, trying to go after her but Quill shot forward blocking his path. He let out a low growl and the guy retraced his steps backing up.
The leader was staring at the figure of Renesmee furiously. He gritted his teeth and turned his furious eyes on Quill.
'Kill them all' He shouted. We all anticipated on this comment and the wolves started the first fights. Racing and jumping into their group, shredding their flesh when it got between our mighty teeth. The Cullens joined the fight as well, projecting their anger on this group. It was a bloodbath, for hours we fought, killed and shredded. They were no fighters, they lacked skills which made it easy for us to get the upper hand. Then suddenly it was finally over and they retreated. Alice and Jasper started up a fire and we dragged al the corpses and limps into the fire until nothing was left. The pack left to patrol the woods making sure there was none in Forks left. The leader made it out alive, and I wasn't sure how I felt about that. We got off good, there were a few scratches but no one got hurt.
The Cullens and I hurried back to the mansion to check on Renesmee. When we arrived I quickly phased and Put on my jeans. Not caring about the rest right now I walked inside barefoot and searched for Renesmee.
'Where is she?' I asked Carlisle, but he shook his head. 'She isn't here.'
'Over here' Alice yelled and we hurried to her room. She wasn't there either but her duffel bag was there.
'I thought you hid that?' Esme asked Edward and he nodded. 'I did, it was in the safe.'
Emmett quickly went through it's contents. 'Roughly 35K is missing.' He stated. I pinched the bridge of my nose. She was gone, we fucked up and she was gone.
Don't forget to review! It only takes a few minutes of your time and makes a very happy writer!
