Edward POV:
I stared ahead, seeing my Nessie in that dog's arms. "What happened?" I said through clenched teeth as Jacob carefully set her down on her feet. I saw Nessie look nervously around and turn her head to Jacob.
Should I tell them?
Jacob nodded slowly, not even taking his eyes off us. It was as if Jacob knew what her thoughts were just by her expression, probably so.
Nessie shook her head as if to shake something off. "Alice? Can you please come here..." She said softly as she stared down at her shoes. Alice was behind Emmett's large figure, as if hiding. She danced to Nessie, though Alice could hear just fine across the room, I think Nessie wanted to address her first. I began to scan Jacob's and Nessie's thoughts for any clues on why my daughter was missing for a day.
How am I going to tell them--they're going to kill me!
I was so worried about her, she's definitely not going to go anywhere for a very long time unless she tells me first
I found nothing that could be useful.
"Alice... I'm sorry about the dress..." Alice's eyes grew wide as she observed the remains of her satin, used to be glittering, dress. All that was left was holes and tears, it was so bad that we couldn't even fix it. It's a shame, that was one of Alice's favorites. Alice just smiled and replied gently,"I was only worried about you. Now please, tell us..." This was unusual for Alice, usually she would go bouncing off the walls. Nessie looked around curiously and took a deep sigh not even looking at us.
"Nessie, tell us dear," Esme said in her sweet motherly tone. I saw Bella's gold eyes stare worriedly at her daughter, our daughter. I gripped her hand, hoping to reassure her. She squeezed back. "Everything will be okay, I promise," I whispered into Bella's ear, hoping it will calm her down. If only Jazz was here...
"Okay, everyone...Dad, Mom?" Nessie began,"I'll tell you, just don't kill me or rip my arms off."
Bella softly nodded,"Tell us angel, we will never, ever hurt you..." Nessie smirked at her and Bella smiled a dazzling smile back. If I had a heart, it would have stopped beating right then and there.
"Instead--instead of going to the Fall dance, like I told Alice, I went--I went out with Susie and--drank---"
"Nessie? How could you? Do you know how worried we were? You were gone for a whole day! You could have been killed!" I roared at her.
She nodded her head sadly and stared down once more at the ground. Bella scowled in my direction, she went by Nessie's side and comforted her, rubbing her hand against her back. Booming laughter filled the walls instantly, Emmett. I hissed and bent down into a low defensive crouch toward Emmett, ready to spring. Rose growled menacingly and got ready, protecting Emmett. Carlisle just forced Esme behind him, this was the only violence Carlisle ever seemed to do. Jacob immediately phased into a large wolf and growled in response, much to quick for even vampire eyes to see, thank God. Alice and Emmett were the only one who held their positions. Alice, just looked around casually and ignored me, she sure knew me, temper, temper, temper. Emmett, who just seemed to wonder what was the matter, as if he wasn't even paying attention, probably so...
"Everyone, please? Stop acting like children and lets talk about this," Carlisle said softly as he backed away from Esme to her side, still squeezing her hand tightly. But even his words could not make me calm.
"Emmett, watch yourself," I heard Bella say warningly, shielding Nessie from the violence as well. I growled again. "Emmett, another smart move from you and you might loose a limb, you got that?" I said through clenched teeth. I saw Emmett nod quickly as I straightened up and turned back to Carlisle,"Thank you," I said, still bristled from head to toe in deep angry. Carlisle just nodded with a twinkle in his eye, happy to stop the violence. Rose still held her position in front of Emmett, still ready to set loose her cannon, her. I completely ignored her posture and went back to scanning everyone's thoughts.
Rose- He better not move an inch or he. Is. Dead.
Emmett- He was just playing. He would never hurt me! I'm his brother! I smirked an evil grin at that. "Watch me, Emmett...Just watch me." Emmett looked unsettled by this and was in a crouch as well, just in case. I moved on.
Alice- I miss him...I miss him so much... This was all that Alice thought about these days.
Esme- Emmett better watch himself, Edward is not playing. I chuckled at this as well
Carlisle- I need to hunt tomorrow...
Jacob- Nessie is staying with me next week, just so I can watch her. I stared at Jacob and nodded softly, he smiled back upon me, looking completely grateful.
Renesmee- Hmm..so far so good. Maybe I will live to see tomorrow.
I was just about to block out the rest of her thoughts when something in the back of her mind confused me. I decided to go deeper to investigate. I immediately froze in shock as the image flooded my mind. There was a boy with a perfect face and black eyes kissing her, my daughter. I hissed in total shock.
"Dad? What's wrong?" She asked me, a wave of alarm crossing her face, but she tried to erase it away. I knew her better than that. I began to block out the rest of her thoughts as I unfroze to stare into those chocolate brown eyes, reminding me of my old Bella. "Nessie? When was the last time you went for a hunt?" I said, totally ignoring her question and changing the subject. She began to ponder this as she swept through the images of everything that she did today. Alice, Jacob, and the beautiful boy who she called Lewis. She began to shake her head from side to side. "Come on, let's go," I said sternly, "I need to speak with you."
Hope you love it! : )
