The Hunt
The next morning the dull light reached through my window and I stretched my arms twisting my body to adjust to the morning. I jumped noticing Jacob was not next to me.
"Jake" I called curiously. There was no answer, I threw the purple covers off of me and sat up. Aunt Alice had given me silky pink pajama's to sleep in. I would never actually wear this if I had any other choice. I made sure that she had given me a bathrobe. I grabbed my converses and threw them on. Before I headed across to the other house I checked around to make sure he wasn't around. When no one answered me I quickly ran across to Grandpa's house. When I looked toward the driveway I noticed Grandpa Charlie's car was there. Without hesitation I made my way inside, making sure to cover up any evidence of my silky pink disaster I wore. I only heard a few voices it was Mom, Dad and Grandpa Charlie. An awful smell drifted up my nose my Grandma must have made eggs, bacon, and coffee for him. I turned to enter the living room as I did the three of them looked up.
"Good Morning baby" Mom said. She smiled at me sweetly as Grandpa Charlie stood up to greet me.
"Well there's the married woman I haven't seen in a month come here give your good old Grandfather the hug he deserves" he stated with his arms open. I smiled at him and leaped into his arms. He laughed a bit.
"Where's everyone, where's Jake?" I pulled away and eyed my parents. Both of them were sitting next to each other on the couch. Once Grandpa Charlie sat down next to them I squeezed in between them. Mom began running her hands through my hair.
"Jacob went out for a bit, he's investigating the house now that it's day light, Aunt Alice went to some secret spot of hers to concentrate on the mess, everyone else is checking the area, making sure its safe" My father said.
"Don't worry Ness we'll find the guy who broke into your house I thought we were done with break-ins apparently not" Grandpa Charlie spoke. I heard his radio go off it was mumbled he was the only one to understand.
"It's the auto shop" I took in a deep gulp and turned to him. He stood up.
"Can I come with you?" I looked up at him praying that he would say yes.
"Why don't you and your Mother stay here" he suggested.
"I'm not sitting around waiting this time, I'm helping" I protested standing up to face him.
"Before you go Ness you may want to change out of this thing" I felt Mom touching the fabric sticking out of my robe. I blushed a bit. Mom had some extra clothes that I could fit into so I changed into those so I wouldn't be running around in pink silk pajamas.
I headed into La Push with Grandpa Charlie, Mom and Dad said they would meet up with us, I knew that they were really sniffing out who had been around. When we pulled up to the shop I noticed Jacob standing around, his father rolled around the property in his wheel chair slowly inspecting the place. When Grandpa and I pulled up I noticed Jacob walk out of the office doors. Once he stopped I jumped out of the car and ran to him.
"Nessie why are you here?" he questioned with a concerned look.
"I wanted to see if everything was okay am I not aloud?" I looked at him and crossed my arms. I heard Grandpa talking to Billy behind me.
"Everything is fine Ness" he told me with a slight attitude that I was not expecting from him. I put my head down and turned toward the office.
"Baby wait" he called out after me but I walked straight into the office, everything looked okay just the scent of the creature from yesterday was thick in the air. I sat down at the computer desk and turned the computer on. It started up just fine he really wasn't after anything of ours he was just after us. When the ancient computer loaded I opened up the customer screen and prepared it for the day. The door that led to the garage opened suddenly causing me to jump. It was only Jack Simon the only guy in the garage who was clueless about what he was working with.
"Oh Renesmee I'm sorry did I scare you?" he questioned. He looked like he was ready to work like he had just gotten done with a car. He had on a bandana to cover his hair, and the blue overalls we had them wear.
"I'm sorry a bit jumpy this morning" I laughed. He let out a small laugh and looked at the window and then towards me.
"Have they figured out who broke into your house and the shop?" he questioned. I looked up at him and shook my head.
"No nothing yet, are we opening today?" I questioned.
"Yeah Jacob wants to keep the shop open, he said Sam called out sick some business he had to take care of, but your Uncle Emmett and I are here" he walked closer to the window. I stood up and walked over to stand next to him. Outside was now Grandpa Charlie, with a police officer from La Push. They were talking with Billy and Jake about the incidents of the past day. I sighed and walked back over to my desk.
"If you guys need a place to stay my folks would love the company they still don't know very many people" he spoke up turning back to me.
"That's sweet of you but we have a place to stay my Grandfathers house is huge" I smiled at him and thanked him for the offer. He smiled back at me and made his way back into the garage we both saw a customer heading toward the door. The bell on the door rang and I looked up to see Mitch.
"Well, well, well" I stated smiling at him. His head turned and he looked at me.
"Ness?" he questioned. I smiled and stood up to greet him.
"Of course it's me dummy" I laughed. He practically ran to me and wrapped his arms around me.
"What are you doing here I thought you were studying in New York?" I questioned as I pulled away.
"I'm home for a few days and I needed my car fixed the breaks are shot, but anyway I heard from a good friend that this was the best shop between here and Forks" I laughed.
"Well so I've heard it's my Husband Jakes shop" I said backing away a bit.
"That's right, I should have noticed the name Nessie's Auto" his face lit up knowing that I was here standing in front of him.
"So we need new breaks?" I questioned him.
"Yes I head back on Friday so I kind of need a car to get around here for the week" he stated.
"Alright hand over the keys Mitch and I'll check you into the computer" I informed him. I pulled out my chair and sat down browsing through the computer to make sure we had the parts we needed.
"Parts are coming in tomorrow do you think you could wait a day?" I questioned him.
"Sure not a problem my cousin followed me here just in case you know Mike" I looked up and noticed outside my Father had finally arrived and him and Mom were talking to Mike Newton in the parking lot.
"I hear his wife is pregnant"
"You heard right he's so freaked out" Mitch laughed. I smiled at him and began to type in his information. He placed the keys to his car on the desk.
"So have you spoken with Melissa?" he questioned me.
"Yeah I see her now and then she moved to Seattle to be with her boyfriend, she's going to community college" I finished typing up his information and grabbed the keys tagging it with the cars information.
"Oh, Rebecca and I haven't heard from her" I looked at him strange as I stood up.
"Are you two an item?" I questioned.
"Well you missed it after prom her and I well yeah we had promised each other since grade school if we had no one to loose our virginity to it would be each other so one thing led to another and we've been together since" he smiled.
"Why don't I know these things?" I questioned. He laughed. I stood up and made my way toward the door.
"You are so out of it sometimes" he laughed.
"Well I'm happy for you Mitch" he nodded his head.
"I'll let you get back to work, I can see you Father is ready to shoot my cousin" he laughed watching my Dad's expression as Mike chatted up a storm with Mom. I laughed at my Dad's expression and turned toward Mitch.
"It was great to see you again, don't let it be over 6 months until I hear from you again" I threatened him.
"Will do Ness, will you be around tomorrow?" he questioned.
"Nope Monday's are back to Seattle for school days" I smiled.
"Right Doctor in training good luck" he nodded his head and turned to the door. I smiled and walked toward the garage door. Uncle Emmett rolled himself out from one of the cars as I entered the shop.
"There's my favorite niece" he smiled still on his back looking up.
"No sucking up to the boss, we need new breaks, they should be coming in tomorrow I checked inventory, I'm leaving the keys on the 2 day repair rack" I stated walking toward the wall. I sighed as I turned back around to see him standing not even 3 inches behind me. I jumped as I turned.
"Uncle Emmett is that necessary?" he laughed.
"I get you every time…" my body felt funny at that moment. I felt like I was having a human moment, my stomach began to twist sharply. I felt all the blood in my face disappear.
"Ness did I scare you that much?" he questioned. I looked up at him my eyes popped out of my head in pain. I felt a burning sensation in my throat, I wanted and needed blood.
"I need …." I started to say before becoming weak at my knees.
"Ness" he caught me just before I fell I was still conscious once he caught me. He picked me up and brought me back into the office settling me down in the chair. He knelt down in front of me.
"What was that?" he questioned eyeing me.
"I don't know, I felt human for a few minutes, my stomach felt like someone was taking my insides and turning them, and then my throat burned for blood really bad" I rubbed my throat lightly and hissed when the pain came back.
"Again?" he questioned. I leaned back on the chair and closed my eyes.
"Want me to get your parents?" he questioned eyeing them still standing in the parking lot.
"I don't want them to worry I have you here I'm good" I said stopping him.
"You do realize your father can…" before he finished speaking it was my Dad the door chimes slammed against the door and he was there standing right behind Emmett.
"Read my mind" he finished standing up to face him.
"What's wrong with my daughter Emmett?" he questioned pushing him out of the way and kneeling down where Uncle Emmett had been.
"Dad I'm fine, human moment"
"You shouldn't be having human moments Ness, your immortal now" he told me.
"But I do Dad, my heart still beats I have blood running through my veins, I can have those moments. Grandpa and I have been doing some of our own research" I explained as the pain twisted again. This time I leaned forward almost smacking into him.
"Ness" his hands were on my back immediately rubbing gently.
"I need blood" I growled. I felt angry for some reason.
"Let's go you and I we'll tell Mom we need to get you some food, I'll make sure she stays here and not to worry" I pulled back and looked at him. I watched as he tried explaining to my Mom not to worry, in order for her to not follow Dad and I headed out the back door of the shop and into the woods. I found some nice deer quietly drinking water from a small creek. Dad and I snuck up slowly not making a single noise we both ended up grabbing two at a time and had ourselves a meal.
When I had finished drinking I splashed some of the water on my face. I felt only a little better and the water was actually helping. Dad walked over to me after finishing up his last Deer.
"How are you feeling?" he questioned sitting down next to me.
"I guess a little better, maybe I was just thirsty" I noted.
"We better get back before they worry" he told me. I nodded and stood up. We quickly went back to the shop it was almost time for the shop to close. We stood on a hill a little ways from the shop. It was there I spotted the black Civic along the road a few feet down from the shop.
"Dad look" I pointed out where I had seen the car. Before my Father had looked it was gone.
"What Ness?" he questioned. I crouched down low and began to growl loudly.
"He was there the black car was right there" I pointed over toward where I had seen it.
"Let's get down there and find out if they have seen anything" he pleaded. I stood up and we began to run toward the shop. We came in again through the back door Mom was waiting in the office when we returned.
"Would you two explain to me where you were?" she seemed a little upset that she wasn't invited on our little hunt.
"Father and Daughter time" I explained walking to her. She was sitting on the chairs by the window I threw my arms around her and watched out the window to see if there were any signs of the car.
"Ness says she saw the car parked a little ways down the street I'm going to go check it out" he stated. I pulled away from Mom and she looked at me then at Dad.
"I'll join you" she said taking my fathers hand as she stood up. I watched him look at her with an apologetic look for taking off so quickly with me. I could tell just by the look in her eyes that he was forgiven. It never took long for them to make up they were too deep in love for anything to happen to either of them. I watched as they ran out the door together. I took a deep breath and went to shut off the computer, it was 2:45 and it was almost time to close up.
"There you are beautiful" I heard Jacob's voice by the garage door. I looked up at him.
"You look terrible what happened?" his voice was concerned as he rushed to my side.
"Emmett said you and your father had to go hunting that you were practically fainting" he touched my forehead I sat still in my chair letting him run his hands over my temples massaging them lightly.
"I think I was just extremely thirsty and some human part of me just decided it would act like I was hungry and hadn't eaten in days" I took a deep breath the pain had gone away a bit, although I still felt a sharp dull pain the biggest pain at disappeared.
"I'm worried about you" I opened my eyes and smiled.
"No need to worry I'm durable remember?" I laughed a bit and his warming sweet smile came across his face.
"That you are" he bent down slowly and kissed my forehead, then the tip of my nose, and eventually my lips. His lips planted on mine and he forced his curious tongue through my lips. I let him search around as I played around with his tongue. I stood up and wrapped my arms around his neck. I barley noticed that Uncle Emmett was standing in the doorway. Jacob's kisses always did this to me. Then we heard him clear his throat. I backed away in embarrassment.
"Hey Uncle Emmett" I sat down in my chair and shut off the power to the computer once it was done shutting down.
"Your parents want to talk to you, there was someone here you were right they want to know which way you saw him go" Uncle Emmett stood there with his arms crossed. Jacob helped me stand up and I made my way into the garage where my parents were.
"He headed back toward Forks" I motioned toward the direction as I headed to the front of the garage.
"Your Mom and I are going to check Forks, where are you two staying tonight?" my Father asked.
"Well home is safe now I won't leave her tonight Ness has school in the morning" Jacob put his arms around me.
"Okay you two go home and make sure she gets rest she wasn't feeling well earlier. Mom and I will keep a look out, and you have everyone else looking out for you. Jacob you have a job to do so leave it up to us please just go on doing everything normally, when you can just check around your house and the shop" my Father said. Jacob nodded and agreed with him.
That night Jacob and I went back to our house, no one broke in tonight. I decided to try to get some sleep early it had been a long weekend and I had to wake up a 6am just to get to Seattle by 10 the latest for an 11am class. I was only lying in bed looking up at the ceiling for a few minutes when Jacob had joined me. Our bedroom was small and comfortable. We had a California king sized bed, with dark blue sheets, our walls were white and we had wooden floors in our room. I began to feel a small pain again and grabbed Jacob's handing squeezing it tight.
"Need something to eat again?" he questioned. I looked over at him and shook my head no. I ignored what I was feeling and rolled toward him.
"Let's finish the kiss we started in the garage" I smiled running my hands through his soft hair. His frown faded and a smile appeared on his face.
I climbed on top of him gently kissing his lips and neck. He lifted off my shirt and threw it to the side. I felt his warm hands massage my sides as I undid my bra and leaned forward to take his shirt off. I stood back while he un-buttoned his jeans and threw them to the floor and I did the same. I laid my body back on top of him and kissed him again. At this point I had forgotten about the whole weekend, the only thing on my mind right now was Jacob and the butterflies that invaded my body with his every touch. If only this could be the ending I craved just him and I peaceful in each others arms forever, but that could never happen there would always be something…. Something more that wanted to tear us apart.
