Hey, thanks for the review. futurecullen26 the song that was playing on Nessie's i-pod was Change and it's by Taylor Swift.Please review and tell me what you think. I didn't what to right when Jasper and Emmet teach Nessie and it probably sounds really weird but oh well.
Anyway, I do not own Twilight or any of it's characters Stephenie Meyer does. (Why do we have to go through disclaimers? They are so annoying!)
'She's her daddy's girl,
Her mama's world,
She deserves respect,
That's what she'll get,
Ain't it, son?
Hey, y'all run along and have some fun,
I'll see you when you get back,
Bet I'll be up all night,
Still cleaning this gun.'
- Cleaning This Gun - Rodney Atkins
I woke with a start, freezing cold, I was covered in water. What? I touched my cheek and sure enough it was soaking wet.
'What the?'
'Rise and shine sleeping beauty!' I opened my eyes and saw Uncle Emmet grinning down at me like the Cheshire Cat.
He had an empty bucket in his hands. I groaned and rolled over, trying to find my alarm clock. I had to fight with the amount of pillows that were lying on my bed.
'Who's insane idea was it to buy this many pillows?' I grumbled to myself.
I heard Emmet's booming laugh but seconds later it vanished when he saw the death glare that I gave him.
'Emmet.' I said my voice dangerously low. 'It's two in the morning.' I saw him gulp and I was pleasantly surprised that I could scare a man of Emmet's size. I kept the joy from my face.
'It was Jasper's idea!' He blurted out.
'Thanks man!' It was then that I noticed the second presence in the room. Jasper slid into view from the darkness.
'Dude, she looked like she was going to kill me!'
'You still didn't have to rat me out.'
'You would have done the same.' It was too early to be listening to them bicker.
'Guys!' They didn't hear me.
'I would never betray my brother.'
'Come on. It's not like she has claws!'
'That is besides the point.'
'Yo! Still here you know!' They still weren't paying any attention so I put my fingers in my mouth and whistled.
That caught their attention. They clapped their hands over their ears and looked around for the source of the noise. They finally noticed me and looked surprised that I was in the room. What is up with them, they are in my room, standing in front of my bed at two in the morning!
'Nessie. I would like to apologize for waking you up in such a harsh way. It was inappropriate. Forgive me?' He knelt beside my bed like such a gentleman.
'It's Ok Uncle Jaz.' He smiled at me and I smiled back. I looked expectantly at Uncle Emmet. He shuffled his feet and in true Emmet style said, 'Yeah, what he said.' He was going to pay.
'So why are you in my bedroom at this ungodly hour?'
'To train you.'
I found myself standing in the field that we use to play baseball. They had instructed me to wear clothes that allowed me to move freely and to tie my hair up and away from my face. I still had no idea what we were doing and I was too tired to even think properly.
'So, Nessie,' Uncle Jasper stood in front of me in his army stance. 'Your Uncle Emmet and I are going to begin your training.' My brain couldn't even piece together what he was talking about.
'Uncle Jasper I have no idea what you are on about.'
'Ness. I am training you how to fight.' Now, normally, I would have thought that was a good idea but not before I had had my caffeine fix.
'Jasper it's,' I grabbed Emmet's wrist. 'It's half past three. In the morning!' I gave Emmet his wrist back and he looked confusingly at his watch.
'Wait, sorry it's actually half past two. It's an hour fast.' He grinned at me sheepishly.
I gave Jasper the biggest death glare I could muster. It didn't faze him in the slightest. He actually seemed amused by my attempts!
'Renesmee that really isn't going to scare me especially not after I once told Alice that she couldn't go shopping for a week. It was a nightmare! She can be seriously terrifying.' Uncle Emmet snorted next to me.
'What? You've never been scared of Rose?' That shut him up. 'Ness, what I am about to teach you is it extremely important, it could make the difference between life and death.' Wow, he was way to over dramatic. 'I know that you don't believe me – I can feel it – but trust me. If you can't fight then the rest of the family will be intent on protecting you and they will forget to watch their own backs. Especially Jake.' I was paying attention now.
'And if Jake ever hurts you, you can use the move that we are about to show you against him. Or, if you don't want to, Jasper and I will teach him a lesson about messing with you. I'm sure Edward would join in, you are his little girl.' I glared at him.
But, if this would protect Jake and the rest of my family then I would get up at all hours to learn to protect myself to protect them.
Jasper beckoned for me to walk forward to the centre of the field so that he could start my training. I was nervous. I would admit that, I was a klutz and I would most likely fall over constantly. I felt a wave of calm wash over me and I smiled at Jasper, he winked.
'Right now let's see what you know already.' My eyes widened with fright but he smiled encouragingly at me, I took a deep breath and went into the crouch that I had seen daddy do.
'Ok. Good, I see that you have seen Edward do this. Right?' I nodded my head. 'Straighten your back a bit. If you leap you jump higher and longer.' I did as he said and I felt more comfortable instantly. 'Right, jump from this position as far and as high as you can.' This confused me, how was this fighting? I did as he told me again.
I leaped into the air and I felt the wind against my face. It wasn't like a slap the wind felt like it was caressing my skin. My blood in my veins and I felt the adrenaline surge through me. It was an amazing feeling, like flying. All too soon I landed on the ground about 20 meters away from Uncle Jasper and Uncle Emmet. I saw them smile at me.
'I don't get how this has anything to do with fighting.' I said normally as if they were standing next to me but I knew that they would hear me.
'If you are facing a fast opponent and need to get away this will help. You can jump into the trees and have the advantage or if they are close behind you then you can jump and be 20 meters ahead of them.' Jasper explained, it made more sense now.
I ran back to them and stopped just in front of them. I wanted to fight. Normally I am a peaceful person and hate the idea of hurting another living creature – that gene was passed down from Grandpa Carlisle – but I wanted to be able to protect and not be the one that needed protecting.
'Ness I am going to be teaching you how to fight and I know that you don't like the idea of hurting someone but you can't be squeamish about this. Are you ready?'
'Yes.'
By the time that Uncle Jasper had decided that it was time to finish it was half past seven and I was filthy and tired and sore. My limbs were aching from the amount of times that I had been shoved to the ground. Jasper and Emmet came into the house behind me and were play fighting with each other. I shook my head, how much more fighting could they do today?
'A lot.' I jumped at the sound of my daddy's voice.
'You have got to stop doing that!' I gasped.
'Sorry.' He smiled his crooked smile that my mummy loves so much. 'I didn't mean to startle you.' Always the gentleman. 'How are you feeling?'
'Sore.' I answered and we started walking towards the stairs.
'It'll get better honey. Your first time at fighting is always the worst. Trust me.'
'OK, do you mind if I go have a shower – I'm filthy?' I asked.
'Sure honey, I love you.'
'I love you to daddy.' I smiled at him and turned around to head up the stairs. I heard him sigh and sing something to low for even my ears to hear. I thought that I recognized it but I was too dirty to stand around and figure it out.
I was clean and dried. The towel I had been using was hanging over the bathroom door and I was sitting on my bed waiting for Jake to text me back while I read. There was a soft knock on my door and my mum walked into the room. She was one of the most beautiful women that I had ever seen. She had long brown hair, glowing golden eyes, she held herself like a model and the clothes that she was wearing hugged her body. Aunt Rose, Aunt Alice, Grandma Esme and Mummy were all extremely beautiful and I felt really self conscious standing next to them.
'Hey, how are you feeling?' She asked me her voice chiming like bells.
'I'm fine. I'm still a bit sore but the shower helped.'
'Good because Alice is making us go shopping tomorrow.' I groaned.
I love Alice but when we go shopping it is impossible to stop her. She could buy up all of the shops if she wanted to.
'Are you coming?' I asked her.
'I'm being made to.' With mum there I might be able to escape from the Tasmanian devil (Alice) for awhile. 'Anyway we haven't had much time together what with everything that has been going on.' She smiled at me and turned to walk out of the room. 'Oh and Alice says to wear comfortable clothes because we will be gone for the whole day. Sorry.' I shrugged my shoulders and she left the room.
My phone buzzed, it was a text from Jake. 'Just wanted to say I Love You.'
I smiled and lay down on the bed before texting back.
'I Love You To.'
