You're eyes can be so cruel
Chapter nine
AN: I own nothing, the majority of the characters come from the amazing imagination of Stephanie Myer, and the concept for the story came from the video by MissPheonix on you tube.
Another chapter allready arent you lucky, I know it's a short one but the last one was longer than usual so it all equals out in the end. If you have any questions or thoughts please review. I get so lost within my stories as I know all about the characters I forget if there are any gaping plot holes or questions. Their may not be an update for a week as I have three essay's due in for Uni, but I do love emersing myself into this world so chances are it'll be the essay's that are late and not the update. Please review I would adore some feedback!
I couldn't move with the weight on me and the bared fangs so close to my throat, I screamed again trying to roll out from underneath. The creature inhaled and I reached out grabbing a handful of fur and pulling it away, it jumped back with a yelp, and my vision cleared enough to recognise the russet coloured fur of the giant wolf.
"Jake" I whispered confused about the attack, in response Jacob howled, I pulled myself to my feet and took a step towards him; he lowered his head growled warningly and stepped back.
"I'm sorry Jacob" I whispered "I didn't mean to hurt you"
I took another step towards him and he howled again even louder than before and in seconds, my family were gathered round.
"Renesmee" My mum said the frown disappearing from her face as she saw me she ran to hold me but dad stopped her using an arm to restrain her as he met Jacob's eyes.
"Edward?" She questioned as she tried to pull against him, Jasper sensing the tension moved to my dad's left and crouched aggressively the rest of the family stayed back confused as mum struggled in dad's arms.
I took a step back unsure what was happening, I was missing something but I didn't need Jasper's ability to read emotions to feel the tension.
Mum broke free and gathered me in her arms before dad had chance to reach for her a second time she jumped back a few feet placing me on the ground behind her, taking up a defensive stance and growling back at Jasper and Jacob.
"Bella, love please…" Dad began taking a slow step towards her.
"What is it Edward" Carlisle asked in his calm authoritative tone. Mum relaxed her stance slightly as he approached.
"That isn't Renesmee" dad stated his cold eyes bought tears to mine, why was he saying this. Mum didn't falter and glance back at me instead she growled low in her throat.
"This is our daughter, Edward" She said her voice calmer than the growl portrayed, she turned to Jasper and Jacob "Stand down immediately, this is my daughter I know"
"Bella…Jacob can smell and sense differently then we can, it isn't Renesmee"
Before I could do anything mum turned quickly grabbing my hand she pulled me to dad placing my hand on his shocked face, I realised what she wanted and showed him an image of the three of us at Christmas the previous year, I had played him an original piece on the violin and he had been so pleased.
"Renesmee" he said holding me in his arms and kissing me on the cheek. "I don't understand?"
I glanced over my shoulder Jasper had relaxed and now looked confused but Jake had disappeared.
I lay down in bed wondering what was happening downstairs; Jacob had returned in human form but wouldn't approach me, only looking at me with cruel eyes. Mum had taken me to bed and then they had gone downstairs, I knew they where talking about me but didn't understand what was going on. I closed my eyes and concentrated on downstairs wondering if I could enhance my hearing by magic, I felt a tug on my insides and then ice flowed through my veins I gasped opening my eyes to find myself in the living room stood beside my mum and Jacob who were arguing. I reached out to touch Jacob but my hand passed through his arm as if I was a ghost.
I tried to concentrate on calling my dad in my mind but he didn't look up or acknowledge that he had heard my call. Was I dead, I closed me eyes again in my insubstantial form and heat flowed back through my veins as I returned to my body, I sat up in shock unsure if I had dreamt it, surely it was impossible to transport yourself out of your body. I giggled at this, my parents where vampires and my best friend was a shape shifter yet I doubted the supernatural.
I closed my eyes again, feeling the uncomfortable ice flowing through my veins as I left my body and arrived in the downstairs living area once again, Jacob was talking but I couldn't hear what was being said, I willed myself to concentrate on the words as I approached him, standing right in front of his face I watched his lips move imagining the sound of his voice when he spoke, the timbre of his laugh and his sarcastic tone when speaking to aunt Rose, as I imagined his voice it began to appear weak at first then stronger.
"…It began this morning, I felt she was in trouble I could hear her voice in my head calling out to me, that sounds crazy right?" He asked pausing and glancing around, mum smiled knowingly and shook her head, I couldn't hear her voice without dropping Jacob's but I'm sure she was reassuring him of his sanity.
"No offense Bell's but you're one of the craziest people I know it doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that you heard voices as well." He laughed and the sound was magnificent, I hadn't realised how much I had missed his laugh.
"So I began running" he continued "Throughout the day the pleas for help got more frequent, than about two hours ago they stopped…I thought she was dead, the connection had gone, the cord that kept us together snapped. I kept running anyway praying it was a mistake, then I saw her, but it wasn't her…she is dead"
He dropped his face to his hand's as mum began snarling at Jacob I didn't switch to hear what she said, I didn't care I listened instead to Jacobs heavy breathing and silent sobs. I wanted to crawl into his arms and stroke his cheek.
He lifted his head defiantly to whatever mum had shouted.
"No, I'm staying here, I need to find out what happened and get revenge"
Shocked I returned to my body, the fire made me scream; obviously the longer I was away from my body the more it hurt to return.
I thought of what Jacob had said and more importantly what he hadn't. He had not expressed his desire for revenge aloud I had heard his thoughts and recognised it from the voice in my head throughout the day warning me. It was our connection, whatever magic it was that held us together had tried to stop me being initiated, but I had continued and the connection had snapped. I didn't understand how my feelings towards Jacob hadn't changed if his had, unless the cord hadn't snapped but my powers had caused a blockade so I could reach out but he couldn't reach in.
I had to find away to reconnect with him, I couldn't spend the rest of my life without my Jacob.
