|| Chapter 6 – Connections
Home. Jacob is my home. I feel that; he is the man/supernatural being I want to spend the rest of eternity with. I love him. But my connection with Nahuel also drives me crazy; I don't have a best friend I can confide into with this stuff. High school wouldn't start for me until I am fully grown which is well in a couple of months but momma and dad can't start for ages as they only left Forks High School a couple of 5 years ago and still be on the records. I sighed to myself. I need a friend I can't talk to Jake like this anymore. He is too involved.
I suddenly realised I can speak to one person who has experience in a love triangle and it's not momma.
I rang the door bell to the Clearwater's house round the corner from Jacobs. I was hoping that Leah would open the door instead of the embarrassment of someone else; but to my surprise Charlie opened the door. Looking kind of confused I asked " Hey Pops, is err… Leah home?"
He looked at me with his wide warm brown eyes and said "Sure Ness, come on in." I walked past him until I went into their rather small living area though it is bigger than Charlie's I suppose.
"LEAH," Charlie shouted up the stairs. A mind blowing sound of rock-like music escaped from upstairs with the thunderous footsteps of Leah stumbling down the stairs.
"What is it Char-" she looked in my eyes suddenly aware of my presences. I murmured a small hi until Charlie cleared his frog like throat and said "I'll leave you girls to it then."
After Charlie had gone I took a deep breathe whilst Leah spoke, "What do you want?"
"To talk?" I said nervously.
"About?"
"Do you mind if we take a walk the walls have ears you know."
"They do not." I heard Charlie shout from the kitchen. I smiled a small smile and jested my head towards the door hoping that she would follow after me. She walked passed me and opened the door as I followed her outside we began walking towards the forest again the way I came.
"So are you going to explain to me why you came to my house and are demanding to talk?" Leah questioned me. How am I going to begin this we were never friends in the beginning okay she understands my imprint with Jacob but I think I have to also explain some of my vampire issues is well and I know that would just pee her off.
"Well I was hoping I can ask for your advice? I know I am properly on of the last people you would like to talk to as well I am part Vampire and all but thing is I am in a bit of a dilemma and I think I need your help?" I studied her for any clue if you would in fact help me. "Please?" I began to beg, beg? Why am I begging it's either a yes or a no answer but to my surprise she said, "What advice do you need from me? You're not that bad you know. I was just a bit wary when you asked to talk to me. Cause you know you Vamps after everything." I replied with a nervous giggle. Is she right? Am I after everything? With just 7 years of my life I feel that I am more intelligent than many people on this planet; but this is where I have problems. Love.
We stopped at the cliff's that overlook the ocean the sky had turned cloudy and dull but above the cloudbank you can see a small opening of the sky allowing the sun the glisten the water below us. With our feet dangling off the edge, I said nervously again, "I wanted to talk to you about Jacob-" Leah rolled her eyes in the opposite direction as I continued with a sigh and said "—and Nahuel?" I had her full attention. I knew this was a bad idea, I can feel butterflies flapping around in my empty stomach; if only I could throw up I would.
"Jacob and Nahuel?" she blinked at me in shock, "is this bloody déjà vu or what!"
"I'm sorry?"
"Well your mum Bella played this trick before well I guess it really is in you blood." I can't believe she compared me to that anyone knows that my Momma and Dad, Bella and Edward were meant to be together. Then I realised she must of not know what has been going on.
"Actually Leah I love Jacob. I choose him, but that isn't the problem. It's just the opposite. Nahuel admitted to me a couple of months ago now that he has begun to feel something for me. And I told him that maybe in time I would feel the same but I never did. Straight after I received the same talk from Jake. I felt confused; like how could both of these guys like me. But that's Jacob told me about our imprint and I was scared. It's like I belonged to him no matter and I wont have the chance I ever discovering my true love so I let both of their proposals slide I concentrated on being friends with them both but with Jacob that didn't work cause he began to become quite and independent that I flipped and I discovered what I was looking for. But with Nahuel, I was with him all the time. And I mean all the time, he wouldn't leave me alone when Jacob was round making go off and find something to do. I knew then that his feelings for me had grown and he began to show a pushy and controlling side to his personality. I feel so lost Leah what am I going to do?"
"Well that was a lot of information to take in." she turned silent. With her head in her thoughts I looked down at the rocky sea below wondering how I came into this messed up world. I liked it when everything was just plain old fashioned simple.
"Nessie?" I turned to look at her I felt a tear reaching my eye duct. I was seriously and completely messed up. "Ness, I think you should follow your heart but use your head. Understand what you feel and express it to the world."
"Thank you Leah. But what am I going to do with Nahuel. I love Jacob and I choose to be with him despite our imprint. I know he is my future for eternity."
"Well I'm glad someone picked Jacob for once. But you have to figure a way in preventing this war that Nahuel has predicted upon the pack and your family although they have been so good to him."
"What am I supposed to do, how did you deal through everything with Sam and Emily?" I knew this was a touchy subject but her advice needs to sink in for her is well.
"Look with me, Sam and Emily is different how dear you!" she rose to her feet gingerly ready to pounce in the forest I grabbed her arm and said
"Leah takes the advice yourself, move on find something else to focus on we can both get through it together. Please help us both."
All of a sudden she burst out into tears. I tried to comfort her but she shrugged my hand of her wrist. I took a deep breath and before I spoke I got up and placed my hand on her shoulder with me, "Look I know you still love Sam it is obvious enough, just listen to me we all have strengths and weaknesses and I think this is your weakness so I think you should get over it and help yourself with other problems."
"Your right, thank you Ness. You have to also go home and tell Jake that you love him, you have a chance so use it." She paused and then said "So what our we going to do about Nahuel? This could be my new project helping you! So friend what are we going to do?" She winked at me as I said,
"We need a plan, a good one." Finally I thought I have a good enough friend I can share my problems with and not confiding in with my Momma or Jake for that matter.
A Friend.
We pulled up to the Cullen's mansion; the brilliant lighting surrounded the open layout of the house. Edward hurried in before me the sadness of Nessie running off affected me. What if she really did want to be with Nahuel instead of me, what I was going to do? I would break apart if she left me. I took a deep breathe and walked through the gigantic front doors in front of me. A flash of blonde approached me with wide golden eyes,
"Blondie, seriously move out of my way, you don't want to mess with me at the moment!" it seemed like she wasn't taking the hint until she said the words that shocked me to my very core in my body.
"I'm sorry," she said "I'm sorry that this is such a big mess for you at the moment I'm sure Renesmee would do the right thing and choose who means more to her. And I know that's you." After her final words I murmured the words "Thank You" as she walked away into the living room. I wasn't the only one in shock; everyone looked surprised at our recent encounter except for Bella of course who was smiling silently to herself knowing that Rosalie had always been decent in her own way since she found out after having Nessie. "Carlisle we need a word." Edward said impatiently, Bella gave him a worried look properly asking him something through her mind as he replied, "I'll tell you in a bit I need to get this sorted first my love." "Okay," she said looking worried as I waiting nervously by the door, a flash of happiness rushed through me as I began to laugh spontaneously, all of their eyes turned to face mine looking at me like I've turned into a crazy person. "Please" I said, "We need to discuss this now,"
With worried eyes Carlisle and Edward followed me out until we reached Carlisle's study. Once we were surrounded by towers of books, I knew it was safer to talk. "I have a theory," I told them "I keep having strange emotions that aren't controlled by me. I have a theory that me and Nessie share each others emotions-"
"What do you mean?" Carlisle interrupted suddenly sounding keen.
"I mean take our imprint has allowed us to share each others emotions like I can tell what she was feeling. Because just a second ago I was laughing uncontrollably will I think that was her. She's obviously with some that is making her laugh and now I'm feeling anxious so I think she is beginning to feel what I am feeling. If that makes sense?"
I took a deep breath again before I spoke, "I think I can be able to track where ever she might be, and be inside her head. Its like 3 of your powers rolled into one."
"Like you can protect her with your mind, predict the future and track her down but also read her mind and emotions. This is unreal." The way Edward said unreal seemed like I was making this up maybe if there is a way I could prove to them that I might be right would that change things.
"I can prove it. You said yourself that Nessie and I have a stronger bond to the imprint don't you think this could be it?"
"You could be right I suppose, this has never happened before and is utterly unique" the doctor said considering all aspects to my theory.
"All we need to do is if Nessie feels the same. I can try and see if I can track her and then we can see if that aspect would work... Hang on no worries she has arrived home."
"Yes and with Leah."
"Leah?"
Why is she with Leah?
The heart of Volterra was scorching with the heat from the sun. I stood in the shadows watching intensively the effects of how the good weather is affecting simple little humans. Part of me wanted to run away, how could I do this to the Cullen's, it's my entire fault. I've made a mistake. I need to stop this. My luck really did seem to be running out; as I turned I was discovered by Alec and Jane. I followed them back underground to face Aro once more. Every time I walk into this place a shiver slides down my spine like an ice cold bullet.
"Nahuel, my young friend where have you been hiding?"
"With my Father Aro, Apologies I never came to see you after." I replied telling him the truth as much as possible without reading my thoughts with his right ancient hand. "Ah I see well you are here now. And we shall give this meeting underway, please; sit." In front of me in the grand hall lied a long black table with the same design of their thrones; around the edges the table was laced with golden flowers and swirl designs.
I took my seat next to Aro at the head of the table. Everything went silent; the atmosphere suddenly went cold. Could I actually change their minds and leaves the beasts and the Cullen's alone? But even with the thought of the Wolves took an anger side to my heart and mind once more. I'm sticking with my plan.
The legendary Volturri surrounded me, waiting for me to suggest what happens next, "Let's bring them all down. Kill the dogs."
"Finally some sense in our kind," I glanced over to Marcus who seemed just as smug as everyone else.
I just nodded in agreement with a small smirk upon my face.
"Are you coming inside?" I asked Leah
"Ermm yeah sure I guess whatever." She murmured suddenly feeling uncomfortable with my presence as we were about to walk into the hallway of my home. I had a flicker of different of emotions of stress and feeling a little unsure. What's happening with me! I felt suddenly very irritable. Walking down the stairways was my knight in armour, well it was only Jacob but he is that to me. A rush of love entered my heart I never wanted to leave him but I need to sort things out. We still need to a plan to compromise with Nahuel.
"Jake? Is everything okay," I glanced towards him and then back to my Dad, who was standing in the middle of the stairs.
"You and I are connected more than we thought; our imprint is stronger than just regular werewolf/human connection. I can share my feelings and thoughts with you and vice versa." I was in complete shock. Now he is telling me now, so he can manipulate me and control what I am thinking I don't think so. I was suddenly angry, how could he not tell me! My eyes narrowed as I glanced towards his dark features.
"You're angry, calm down Nessie. I didn't know what it was until 5 minutes ago. Could you not sense something different? And know that we are more than just boyfriend and girlfriend it is for eternity!"
I gazed at him once more than walked into the front room ignoring him where I caught a glimpse of Alice's weird expression.
She was having a vision.
