AN: This chapter covers a lot of little things and I'll try my harderst to pick up the plot and get moving with it but this is more of a build up story(if that makes sense). Sorry again for the immense delay and any grammar or spelling mistakes. I hope all of you whom are following are enjoying the story so far and if not that cool too but with out further rambling here you go...
13) Dyeing
I hurried to dial my mother's number with my shaky hands that it only caused me to dial the wrong number several times. Finally I got it right and it started ringing. I realized it was probably a 6-hour difference but then again she didn't sleep.
"Hello Renesmee." It was father answering my mother's cell phone.
"Where's mom! Put her on!" I screamed.
"Calm down is everything okay?" He asked before screaming honey away from the phone.
"I don't know! Let me talk to mom!" I yelled again.
"Alright here she is."
"Honey, I'm here what's wrong?" I sighed an Oh thank god after hearing her speak.
"Nothing. I mean now that I know you're alive." I stuttered.
"Alive? Of course I am. What's going on?"
"Didn't you hear?" I asked coming to back reality as my heart slowly calmed down from the emotion over load.
"Hear what?"
"Brady and Collin are…are…dead." The words were hard to say much less fathom. They were horse-sized wolves for god's sake! How could anything just kill them that none of the others would hear or smell or anything.
"Oh my." She gasped. "Are you sure now?"
"Yeah Sam just called Jacob about it." I heard the doorknob turn and let out a little yelp when Jacob walked in.
"Jake's here now mom."
"Alright honey. So why would their deaths have anything to do with mine?"
"You know your blue dress, the one that had the giant hole in it?"
"Yes." She agreed.
"Well when I found it the next day Collin had his shirt cut up like that as well as Brady's. They were both found dead with the parts of their shirts covering them."
"So you thought that maybe since mine was ripped that I was."
"Yeah." I cut her off before she could say it.
"Don't worry I'll be careful and whatever killed them."
"We think it was a vamp." Jacob moaned from underneath a pile of pillows.
"Okay. Okay. I'll let the other know about it and don't worry about me I can take care of myself. I have to go bye." She rushed and before she even finished bye the line went dead.
"Renesmee I need to go home." He moaned this time sitting up.
"No you need to stay here." I said walking over to sit on his lap. I nuzzled my nose against his neck.
"You're distracting me." He yelled.
"I'm sorry I was trying to console you." I said getting off his lap and walking towards the window.
"Crap. I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm just so tired of all this shit that is happening to us. I was hoping we could get away from it if we came here but I guess drama will always find us."
"I know how you feel but they'll handle it. I promise it just sucks that Brady and Collin had to die before we figured it out."
"What if they never figure it out?"
"I highly doubt that will happen. Just relax a little for me please."
"Well I'm going to leave for their funeral."
"Okay."
"Do you wanna come?"
"I think I've had enough death for a while."
"It's been three months since Marcus died." Jacob said. My stomach felt like it just flipped inside out when he reminded me. So I knew Jacob was the one I loved and all that and I don't doubt it, but you don't get over having sex with someone and then getting that same someone killed even if they wanted your family dead. It's not how my emotional side works or anybody's I think, the connection you have with some people is going to magiacally snap because of their demise it might even linger longer but maybe I'm still naïve.
"I know." I said softly playing with the picture I put up nervously.
"I thought you said you were over him and that there was nothing there to begin with?" Jacob asked sharply.
"How do you know its Marcus?" I asked still not looking at him although we knew it did have to do with Marcus.
"Then what is it?" Jacob said between gritted teeth.
"It's not totally him." I answered truthfully because there was more like me killing people when we had to feed and even thinking about it Leah got under my skin as well.
"Good." I turned around and saw a strange tinge of possessiveness in his eyes. If anything I owned him with this Imprinting thing.
"Yeah." I said unsure what to say at this point. And then like someone flipped a switch he was back to his old self.
"So I guess I should hurry up and tell Mrs. Tudor about me leaving soon."
"I'm gunna miss you." I pushed out my lower lip because I knew absolutely no one at this school and a lot of the girls didn't seem to like me too much.
"I'll be back here soon and as soon as I get back I'll be sure to rock your world." He growled.
"Alright. Can't wait." I said wrapping my legs around his waist and falling into a very loud and very hot make out session.
"Wow. Hello." My roommate said after I forget to realize this was a shared room.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry. Elle this is Jacob and Jacob this is Elle. Jacob is my…boyfriend." I opted for boyfriend it saved me from explaining.
"Correction baby daddy." And then Jacob had to ruin it.
"Oh!" Elle said getting all wide-eyed and started chuckling.
"Sorry you just don't look like the kind of girl who would be shagging so early in life." She got out between her bursts of laughter.
"Well I guess looks are deceiving."
"Definitely but just one thing I don't want to see or hear anything about your situation okay?"
"No problem." I said. She nodded and went to her bed. I noticed her hair was dyed to all black with a two giant streaks of red framing her face.
"Okay so I'll tell you what happens." Jacob said kissing my cheek.
"So when did he get you preggo?" She asked fiddling with a notebook. I realized it was only 5 months ago but also realizing I had a picture of what was supposed to be my cousin up it would be nearly impossible to have a child in less then 9 months and be as old as she is.
"Umm a year ago." I lied.
"So you were only 15?" She asked peeking from her book for a moment.
"Yeah."
"How'd that go over with your parents?"
"My mom was worried and I'm not sure how my dad reacted." I remembered that infamous night of me sneaking out trying to find Jacob and getting kidnapped myself by two people I thought were my close friends.
"Are you're parents divorced?"
"Oh no." I stumbled trying to think fast. She must've caught on to my less then intelligent thinking because she put the book down and stared at me through narrowed eyes.
"I was in Italy right after I found out so I didn't get to see his reaction." I said sounding a little more intelligent because this time it was only a half lie.
"Oh why were you in Italy?" She asked. I saw out of the corner of my eye sunlight start to stream through the curtains. I gasped and moved to the furthest corner of my bed pulling my feet up.
"Oh finally some sun. I feel like I haven't seen the light of day in ages." Elle exclaimed getting up and moving towards the curtains.
"No!" I screamed.
"What?" She asked turning around.
"I have a giant migraine and it would be really appreciated if you didn't open the curtains." I gave a weak smile rubbing my temples for effect.
"Sure no problem." She went back to her bed and looking at me obliviously waiting for me to explain.
"I was in Italy because my parents planned a trip for me to visit my cousin, Lindsay, and my flight left before I had time to see my farther so I guess my mother told him."
"Interesting. So do you have pictures of…"
"Helena Audrey."
"Right Helena Audrey?" I shifted my eyes around the room trying to decide if the picture I put up looked like a one year old or older possibly.
"Is that her?" Elle asked pointing to the exact picture.
"Yes." I answered automatically completely forgetting the whole mental debate I just had.
"She's beautiful." I held my breath for the, and she looks so much older comment but thankfully that never came.
"Yeah. She's something." I got up and looked over her shoulder it was a picture of Jake, Helena and I in the backyard.
"It must be hard to leave her like that then." She turned to me and I felt tears pool up in the corner of my eyes.
"It is but sometimes you gotta make sacrifices not only for yourself but for others." I said.
"You're not that bad you know Nessie?" She took me completely off guard.
"Oh."
"Yeah I thought you were really up tight and conceited but you're a lot deeper then you look."
"I'd say you're not so bad either except we've been interrogating me." We both laughed and then there came a loud rapping on our door.
"Nessie! Nessie!" I ran to the door and saw Jacob standing there like he had just seen a ghost. I immediately thought the worst and pushed him out of the way so we were both the hall now.
"What happened?" I asked frantically.
"Sam found another faint trail and is adamant I don't take any chances with my life."
"That's it?" I felt a giant wave of relief thankful somebody had common sense.
"What do you mean that's it?" Jacob yelled causing a few people to peep from their dorms.
"Jacob as much as I hate to say it Sam's right. They just lost two of the pack members it doesn't make sense to put more and an alpha in jeopardy if it can be helped."
"That's my pack! They need help! I should be there fighting with them not here and helpless." Jacob yelled again I really wish he would learn to control himself sometimes.
"Jacob, listen to me. You have two choices go over there and die. Leaving me and your daughter alone for eternity." I saw him flinch and immediately the rage leave his eyes but continued with my speech anyway. "Or you can stay here and live. To me that would be a simple choice. We don't know what's out there nor what's it capable of so please for me at least." I gave him my best puppy dog eyes, which of course they worked but I could feel it wouldn't be the end of this argument.
"You always know what to say to hit me right in my weak spot don't you?" He joked pulling me into a giant hug.
"Of course we were made for each other so I know where it hurts." I kissed his neck wrapping my arms around his muscular back and just letting myself melt into him.
"Nessie do you mind if I crash early? It's been a long day." He asked trying to separate my grip on him.
"I was just getting comfy." I whined.
"Well get comfy on your bed." He finally broke my iron grip free.
"How about on yours?" I offered not even sure why those words came out of my mouth.
"If we get caught there is going to be hell to pay."
"So we just won't get caught." I smiled my famous crooked smile for him.
"I have a roommate." Jacob counteracted and I knew he had a point.
"I don't like sleeping alone." I pouted.
"Crap, sure Nessie anything for you, but come by in like an hour I'm gunna need some time to set up." He smiled while I skipped off back through the door to collect my things.
"So breaking the rules already?" Elle asked.
"I also think eavesdropping is breaking the rules too."
"Oh please I wasn't eavesdropping you two just talk very loudly." I rolled my eyes and walked into the bathroom. I reached into the medicine cabinet and grabbed my essentials.
Just when I was about to close the cabinet the many tubes of hair dye caught my eye. I thought it was quite odd that she kept all these colors in here when she could just as easily go to her mother. I closed the cabinet and started scrutinizing my own hair. Compared to most of the girls here it was boring especially Elle's.
Back home I was never allowed to do anything to my hair not even cut it and when it did get too long I never had a say in what hair style I wanted. So the wheels started to turn faster and faster until I opened the cabinet door further and grabbed the color I wanted.
"Hey Elle." I called from the bathroom trying to sound lackadaisical at my evil master plot. You see no parents, meant no rules about what I could and couldn't do to my hair.
"Yeah." She responded.
"Can…Can I use this?" I stuttered holding my arm out the bathroom door.
"You wanna dye your hair?" She asked I could hear her holding back the laughter.
"Yes." I answered.
"Fine." She said simply before flopping onto her bed.
"Can you help me?" I asked opening the package of warm chocolate brown hair dye.
"Alright." She groaned stepping into the bathroom and closing the door behind her. The dye smelled awful not to mention the length of time I had to sit waiting for the damn timer to go off. Once the bell rang its high-pitched call I couldn't wait to see my new look. Elle helped me wash the color out and even style it. I had to say I was a little scared for what she was going to do with the tools (minus scissors) but the end result was gorgeous. My eyes didn't look like a crappy brown anymore but instead a rich mahogany to match the color of my hair that had gone from tons of curls to sexy beach waves.
"Wow you look hot." Elle complimented as I ran my fingers through my hair.
"Thanks." I laughed nervously.
"Well go on you're going to be late for your date."
"Oh right." I said collecting my things and running towards the outside.
I felt like a completely different person the way the wind whooshed through my hair even felt different. The rain was starting to pick up again so being so happy and a carefree brunette I tilted my head towards the sky and swayed back and forth. I hummed a little tune to myself actually it was quite familiar, it was the song my father wrote for me. I invited the cold rain to soak through to my skin as a reminder of home but right when I was hitting nostalgia I heard someone creep up behind my and grab my waist. I barely had a time to scream because their warm hand went over my mouth.
