Chapter 16

Jacob

As I walked back into the house, the atmosphere felt tense. Nessie wrapped my arms around my waist. I stiffened.

"Jake? What's Wrong?"

"They've taken Leah!" I stared over her shoulder staring directly into Edwards eyes.

I heard Nessie gasped in my hold. She knew something had happened before I left to go and find out.

"What are we going to do," Nessie whispered.

"Well I'm going, I need to get her back." I felt my fists clench together. "Will you help me?"

"Yes," he answered casually with a hint of worry in his voice. I glanced down to Nessie still moulded into my body. The fear of losing her pains me. How can I explain that I want to do this without her, to keep her safe.

"Okay," I said firmly.

"Renesmee," Edward said calmly.

"Yes?" She turned away from me to face her Father

"When we leave, you are staying. Do you understand that?" I was shocked though I hoped he did say this. I knew that she would protest just like her mother.

"No. No. I am not staying behind whilst wondering if my family is coming home, dead or alive. It will make me feel worse than I already do. Leah is my best friend I can't just sit here and do nothing."

"Why are you so stubborn," I laughed. She looked at me with wide eyes examining my sudden laughter.

"Ness cant you see that we are trying to protect you, I want to keep you away from the Volturi I don't want you to be put in the position of being vulnerable. Especially with me and Nahuel being there. They could use him against you. Make me worry and see if you are okay.. you'll be on my mind constantly and I don't want to distract myself from that. So please... please Ness; think of me." I started to plead with her this is my only chance in keeping her self from the Volturi I don't want them taking her is well.

"I..I..-"

"Please!" I cut her off.

"Jake, it's not that... I love you but you need me there. They don't have to know I am there; just distract them and I could try and sneak Leah out."

"No. Nessie I'm not letting you risk yourself. The wolves, your family and I will be just fine rescuing Leah without the trouble of thinking...Wondering if you are going to get hurt."

"Jake I just cant sit here and wonder. My Family, You and the wolves… I just can't stay knowing that you aren't going to return to me."

At the pit of my stomach I knew she wouldn't stay here alone, from experience I know that is a bad thing.

Leah

The tall walls and long halls seem to eat me from the inside. I feel so distant from the packs connection there is no way I can communicate with them. Will they save me? Help me escape? There are no answers for this now; I've never been friendly with the Cullen's so I doubt they'll come. Renesmee it's her fault I'm in this mess! Though I shouldn't really blame her.

Looking up from the cold concrete floor from where I am sitting, a dark figure stood in the doorframe, his sweet stench of buttercup and roses blocked my scence of smell… a sticky disgusting smell.

"What do you want?" I asked speaking to the figure.

"I-I only came round to see how you were doing, it's me… Ermm Nahuel? I heard that they took you… I'm so sorry." He ducked his head down in shame.

"Well… you're the one who started this Nahuel. The reason I am here is because of you and your obsession with Nessie!" I felt angry; he can't just get away with this… I won't let it!

"I know. I know it's my fault Leah... It is Leah right?" I nodded before he continued speaking. "I just wanted her to be with me am I so wrong for wanting something for me in my life?"

"I guess not." I shrugged. "Is it true that you have all of the Cullen's powers?"

"Yes. Though I wish I never had this life. I was okay before I knew I had this. Before I began this war. Now it's out of my reach and I can't stop it!"

At that moment he walked out of the room. Leaving me to suffer in the darkness.
