10 years into the Future
Chapter 4
Waiting to greet us, when I opened the door for Nessie, was her grandparents. I still couldn't get used to that. I'd seen Dr. Cullen before at the hospital, but I couldn't help be struck by his youth. At his side was Esme, I assumed, the only one of the family I'd never seen before. She had the same pale, beautiful features as the rest of them.
"Grandpa Carlise, Grandma Esme," Nessie's voice rang out, "This is Ash."
"Renesme your back!" I heard Bella's song like voice cry out as she swiftly hugged Nessie. Edward, in his bronze hair, honey colored eyes glory, stood by her side staring at me oddly. I heard very light steps and turned to see Alice floating towards us.
"Hi Nessie!" Alice cried out and pecked her on her cheek. She turned to me.
"This must be Ash. Hi Ash," She greeted me. I saw Jasper out of the corner of my eye. He was standing off to the side with Emmett and Rosalie. Suddenly, Edward's voice cried out.
"Renesme Carlie Cullen! You didn't!" He cried out putting his hands lightly on her shoulders and looking into her eyes. She sighed and put her hand to his cheek. After a few moments Edward looked up at Bella's questioning eyes.
"She told Ashton about us," Edward answered everyone's questions. Bella gasped.
"Renesme how could you!" Bella shrieked. I looked up and met Rosalie's glare. Then she opened her perfect mouth.
"This is like Bella all over again! NO human should know about us! I mean look what happened with Bella! The Volturi got involved, new born vampires, the whole James thing, we even had to leave Forks so Edward could save her which destroyed her!" Rosalie ranted. Emmett put a comforting hand on her shoulder while Esme shot her warning glances.
"You're going to hurt Jacob, Nessie," Edward told her.
"No I'm not, Ash is a close friend and Jake will understand," Nessie said, "Plus he is going to meet him soon." Nessie smiled and the Cullens shot glances at each other. They heard a sound that was too quiet for my human ears. Slowly, for vampires, the Cullens trickled out of the house and onto the front yard.
Finally I heard the sound of paws hitting the ground and turned to see eight gigantic wolves popping out of the woods. A big russet one was in the lead. Slowly, they transformed into seven tall male Quileute members and one female. When they were full humans, Renesme ran forward pulling me along. The tallest one, I remembered from the talk he had with Charlie and Billy. This must be Jacob. Slowly, he stepped forward, anger flashing threw his eyes. I stared at him blankly. Then he spoke.
"Nessie what is this?" He carefully asked. Nessie pulled him into a hug and I felt a twinge of pain in my heart. I felt eyes staring at me and turned to see Edward giving me an intense glare. Oh, right, he could read minds. I blushed and quickly looked away.
"Jake, this is Ash, my new friend," She said and put her palm to his cheek. Slowly, his face change from anger to pure fury. I tried to think of what she was showing him and I realized that the face I looked at her with, the face of love, was the same as his. When Nessie pulled her hand away, Jacob changed into a wolf and before I knew what was happening, he lunged. I put my hand up to protect me, and then everything went black.
