Chapter 3
The Visitor
Nessie POV
A few days after the fight daddy had with me and Jacob things started to get better. Or so they seemed to be. Little did I know that we were to have an unexpected visitor who would try and make things very difficult for us.
We were sitting in the family room at the big house. Grandpa Carlisle, Grandma Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie were all there. It was family day, so we were playing games or just talking to one another. "Alice?" I heard uncle Jasper ask. "Alice what is it? What do you see? He asked worriedly.
Alice had a glazed look over her eyes. It had been awhile since she saw anything, so it's no wonder that uncle Jasper was worried. He shook Alice's shoulders one more time. She finally blinked and looked over to me. "What?" he asked again. A low snarl came from the couch behind me. I looked over my shoulder. What had daddy heard? I wondered.
"Aunt Alice please say something." I begged. A small grin spread across her face. "I'm sorry Nessie, but I can't tell you." She replied. I looked over to daddy who was shaking his head. "Daddy please tell me what Aunt Alice saw." He shook his head. "Sorry honey, but Alice is right, we can't tell you."
This was so frustrating. Why was it that everyone got to know what the secret was but me. Obviously nothing bad was seen otherwise they would have told me. Or would they have? I wondered. I raised my hands in frustration and started pulling my hair.
"Please Alice just tell me. I'm going insane over here." She sighed. "Nessie, the only thing I can tell you right now is that you are going to be getting a visitor. And you better warn Jacob Back." She grinned.
So this had to do with Jacob. I thought to myself. That didn't help much. My eyes looked into hers. I begged. She continued to shake her head. "fine." I mumbled aloud.
I went to go leave the room. I couldn't stand being in the same room with people who knew something was going on and wouldn't tell me.
I slept terrible that night, thinking constantly of who the visitor could be. I was also wondering what he/she wanted to do with Jacob. I woke up at 5 a.m. I wasn't tired any more so I just got up and got ready for the day.
I went downstairs to see if anyone was down yet. That's when I saw him. Oh crap. Was this my visitor? I thought to myself. Nahuel? For crying out loud the guy was 300 years old. What was Alice playing at?
Nahuel looked up when he heard me come downstairs. "Renesmee." He greeted. He looked extremely happy to see me. To happy.
"Nahuel." I greeted sourly. He stood up and walked towards me. "How are you?" he asked as he came closer. I stepped back. What is Nahuel doing? I thought to myself. I was going to kill Alice for allowing this to happen.
"I'm fine Nahuel." I responded. Or was fine until he came. "You're the visitor. You're the one everyone's been talking about?" I asked in disgust.
"Wait how did you know I was coming?" he asked curiously. "I didn't know you were coming, but Alice saw you coming and she wouldn't tell me anything." Gosh I hated Alice right now.
"Where are my mom and dad?" I asked him. "They went hunting early this morning. They'll be back soon." He assured me. "I think they wanted to give us some time alone."
What no! I shouted in my head. I couldn't believe mama and daddy. Don't they remember I am an engaged woman.
"I'm sorry to burst your bubble Nahuel, but I'm engaged." He looked taken aback at the sound of the news.
"What?" he asked. "I'm engaged." I repeated very slowly dragging out each syllable making sure he got the message. It looked like it worked. "Who is it?" he asked curiously.
I hesitated slightly. Afraid of what might happen if I told him. "Jacob Black." I told him. "Jacob?" he asked. Then his eyes widened. "The werewolf?" "Yes the werewolf!" I shouted back at him. "You got a problem with that?" I asked. "If so you can leave."
He shook his head. "I came all the way from South America to see you. And I find out you're engaged. Excuse me." He said as he walked past me and out the door.
"Where are you going Nahuel?" I asked worriedly. "To find that stupid mutt." He spat. "What, no. Leave Jacob alone." He growled at me. I jumped back afraid of him.
"I have to do this Nessie. I'm sorry he said." As he ran off into the woods. I ran back to the house to grab my cell phone. I was going to call daddy.
The phone rang once. "Hello?" he asked. "Daddy how dare you!" "What is it Nessie what's wrong?" he asked. "Don't play with me!" I spat at him. "I can't believe you let Nahuel sit on our couch. And you go off with mama." I growled. "Nessie, relax" "Relax?" I asked. "How can I relax when Nahuel's just gone off to yell at Jacob?"
"I'm sorry Nessie." He said. "But we had to give him a chance." "You do realize I'm an engaged woman?" "Yes Nessie, we know that, but even so we had to."
I growled in disgust and hung up the phone. I was going to run over to Jacob's house to stop the fight.
Jacob POV
I was sitting on the couch watching television when someone pounded on the door. I got up to answer it. They knocked again. "Coming coming!" I shouted.
I opened the door. I didn't recognize him at first. "Jacob?" he asked. "Yes," I said. He pulled his arm back and punched my face. "What the hell was that for?" I asked him holding my now broken nose.
He punched again. "Dammit." I yelled holding my bloody nose. I put the bones back in place so they would heal properly.
Who the hell did this guy think he is? I wondered. Then recognition hit me. "Nahuel?" I asked curiously. He nodded. "That's me." He jabbed his thumb into his chest. "What the hell is your problem?" I asked him.
"You are." Was his response. "what did I ever do to you?" I wondered. "You're marrying Renesmee." He stated matter of factly.
"So what if I'm marrying Renesmee?" I asked. "That's none of your business. And you don't even know her." "Jacob, you think I don't care?" he asked me. "She is the only person in this earth like me. I want my chance with her." "Ha!" I chuckled. "Did you ever think that Nessie might not even want you. "I don't really care what Renesmee thinks." He stated.
He did not just say that. I lifted my hands to punch him. At that moment I heard my name being called.
Nessie POV
"Jacob!" I shouted as I ran to his door. He lowered his hands. "Stop please." I begged them. There was blood flowing out of Jacob's nose. Crap, they were fighting.
"Nahuel what did you do to him?" I yelled as I ran to make sure Jacob was okay. "You're bleeding." I told him. "I'm fine Nessie." He said as he wiped his nose with the back of his hand.
"Nahuel what did you do to him?"I asked feeling Jacob's nose, making sure no bones were broken. What was I thinking of course no bones were broken. He probably already had it fixed. I still was worried though.
"What does it look like?" he asked sourly. "You were fighting over me weren't you?" I asked already knowing what the answer was going to be. "Just tell me the truth. No hiding things from me." "Yes Nessie we were, but he started it."
"I don't care who started it. It's uncalled for." I told them. "You will both apologize right now." I demanded
"Awe Nessie come on." Jake protested. I held my hands up. "I don't care if you want to or not." "I will not apologize to that Mutt." Nahuel said. "Likewise." Jake said
This was getting ridiculous. Nahuel stretched his arm out. I ducked out of the way. Jacob grabbed his hand before Nahuel could touch him. "You almost hit Nessie!" Jake shouted. As he pulled me to the side, out of harm's way.
"Jacob, Nahuel you will both stop it this very minute!" someone called from a distance. I looked to see who it was. I couldn't see anyone. I squinted. It looked like daddy. It's about time. I thought to myself.
Half a second later daddy reached us. "Nessie are you alright?" he asked as he glanced at Jacob's bloody face.
I nodded my head and said, "yes daddy I'm fine."
"What's going on?" he asked. Like he needed to ask that. Couldn't he just read Jacob and Nahuel's mind and figure it out for himself. "Ah, never mind. I should have guessed." He said. "Nahuel Jacob, please there's no need to fight. Can't you two just talk peacefully?" he asked.
"Talk about what?" Jacob asked. "Options." "Options?" Jacob asked confused. "You're sick Edward. Did you know that?" he just nodded his head. "I will not see Nessie in the hands of this bloodsucker.
"That really isn't your decision to make now is it?" he asked looking to me. "Nessie what do you think? Will you give Nahuel a chance?" I gasped quietly. I could not believe my ears. My own father. "No daddy. I don't think I will. I love Jacob daddy. He is my everything."
Nahuel backed up at the sound of that. "Nahuel, I'm sorry. It's just I've known Jacob my whole life. I don't think I could live without him. Jacob is like the air I breath."
Nahuel started to say something and then closed his mouth and turned around. "Nahuel I'm sorry!" I shouted at him. "Whatever Renesmee." He whispered.
I looked angrily at daddy. "I don't understand you daddy." I cried. "I thought you approved of Jacob?" "I do." He replied. "I just wanted to give Nahuel a chance. Now I see that I was wrong to try and do that. I'm sorry Nessie, please forgive me." Fine," I replied. "But don't think I will forget this.
I turned to tend to Jacob. Blood was still oozing from his nose. "Let's go clean you up Jacob." I said as I pulled him into the house.
