Chapter 3: Strangers

Nessie's POV

I followed the nice human to his car. I was smiling because he had bought me my stuffed animal like he had promised.

"Get in quickly" he ordered as he opened the car door.

I didn't hesitate to obey. Momma and daddy had always taught me to listen to respect and listen to adults.

I started to get a bad feeling but I ignored it. The man was really nice. I liked him.

"You really are an adorable little girl. The prettiest one that I have ever met. You know that kid?"

"Thank you" I said to him.

"I have special plans for a little girl like you. You will be a hit alright. You're going to make me a lot of money"

I was really confused. I had no idea what he was talking about.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"When we get to my house I want you take of all of your clothes so I can take some pictures of you. Can you do me that little favor?"

I had a really bad feeling now. I didn't understand why he wanted me to do that but I didn't want to.

"No" I said.

"No?! Did you say no to me?! You better do as I ask you ungrateful little brat!"

I started crying when he yelled at me. I didn't know what to do. Momma and daddy had always told me to listen to adults even if I didn't want to. I just had a really bad feeling.

"No" I said. My voice shook in fear. The man, now looked really really angry.

"I'll show you little girl. I'll teach you a lesson that you will never forget!"

He stopped the car and I took the chance to escape. I ran out fast. The man chased me but I was faster then him. I smiled when I looked back and saw that the man was gone.

Then I tripped and fell on something that I could not see. I heard a loud noise. I looked up and saw a car coming at me. It hit me and that was the last thing remembered.

When I woke up again I was in a very unfamiliar place. When I moved I realized that I was on a bed. Someone had also wrapped me up in a blanket.

I was scared because I had no idea where I was. I was startled when someone opened the door. It was a fat human woman about momma and daddy's age. Behind her was a dog.

She smiled when she saw me "Oh you're awake. You have no idea how scared I was when I hit you. Are you okay? What is your name?"

"I'm okay. My name is Renesmee. My nickname is Nessie"

She smiled. "My name is Amber. I'm glad you're okay Nessie. I was scared. Especially after I saw the dent in my car where I hit you"

"Where am I?" I asked her.

"You're at my house. I brought you here so I could look after you. Nessie are you sure you're okay? I can take you to the hospital. I probably should have done that from the beginning but honestly-"

"It's okay. I'm fine" I told her.

"Okay. But Nessie what were you running fro? I could tell that you were running away from something"

"Nothing" I said. I didn't want to remember that man. He scared me.

I was sure that she didn't believe me but I wasn't sure.

"Nessie where are your parents? Do you have any family I can call?"

I just shook my head 'no'.

"Well Nessie I want to help you. I can't just let you go out on your own. My conscious won't let me. I want to take care of you. How do you feel about staying here with us for awhile?" she asked me.

"It's not just you?" I asked her. I was scared after what happened with that man.

"No. I have a five year old sister, Ashley, that lives with me. I think you two would get along great since you must be around her age. Our parents just died a few months ago. So it's just us two and Bruno. Bruno is our dog. He's a German Shepherd"

"Okay" I said.

She hugged me in a way that reminded me of momma. It made me cry. That just made her hug me tighter.

I yelped in surprise when something in her stomach moved.

"What was that?" I asked her.

She laughed. I was confused.

"I'm pregnant" she said.

I was even more confused. What did that mean?

"It means that I'm having a baby. A little girl. She will be born in less then a month now"

She was nice. Really nice. I liked her.
