2. Wolf Fight
I woke to the sound o a porsche screeching to a hault. The sound was familar I had heard it a million times before but it didn't register. Not yet. I allowed my eyes to flutter open and scan the room. As soon as I saw were I was I haistly got up from the house scrambling to the door. Trying to get there before Jacob could. Damn! I thought as I saw Jacob leaning against the doorjam. H was looking out at the porsche as two vampires got out. Edward and Bella Cullen. My parents. I grimminced but at least they waited until the morning to come and get me. Possibly embarssing m for life.
"Hi mom, Hi dad" I said peering around Jacob. He looked down at me a smile dancing on his lips. I tried to concentrate on my parents. It was hard.
"Feed me to the vampires why don't you" I didn't respond. My eyes were locked on my parents. I was waiting for them to start to yell at me or at least tell me to come home. The least they could do is embarass me at home.
"Renesmee" my mother began to say. I took a half step and was in front of Jacob in an instant. "Next time call when you are going to spend the night. We were worried sick about you"
"Actuually you can't really be worried sick because you're a vampire and vampires do not get sick mom" I answered trying to lighten the mood. The answering glare from my father told me it was time to leave. I sighed and looked up at Jacob. "Goodbye Jake. I'll see you later at my house"
"I'll be there at noon"
He beant down and kissed me lightly on the forehead. I smiled at his simple touch. It took me a moment before I could walk to the car. Three wolves walked out of the of the shawdows of the woods and stayed there. They came no further. A deep growl from one made my head snap around crouching into attack mode. A small grey wolf stepped out of between the two others her teeth bared. My eyes quickly saught Jacob's. He was staring at me like he was hurt. But before he could answer the grey wolf leaped and attacked me.
In an instant she had me pinned to the ground. My parents and Jacob went to help but I raised my hand. They stepped bak at once. This was my fight and I was going to win it. Pushing with one hand I threw the wolf off of me high into the air. Jumping to my feet I caught her throat crashing her into the ground. A crunch was heard and her arm suddenly went limp. Broken most likely. The fight took all but a mintute to finish. I smiled before looking up at Jacob my eyes wanting answers.
"Who is that?" I asked my voice a soft wind chime. I was not angry at him. I was not angry at all. I was happy they listened to me for once and let me fight for myself.
"That was Hollie. Apprently she thought as beta she did not have to answer to what I command" His body was trembling with tremors that were rocketing off of his body. His carefully controlled anger had broken a bit.
"Well apprently she is not much of a fighter" I looked down at the wolf who was glaring up at me one paw on the broken arm. "Touch me again dog I will kill you" Then I looked back up at Jacob as my anger built up inside me towards everyone at this point. "I do not think that today would be the best day for you to come over to my house Jake. I think that it would be more convient when your dog has calmed down and knows she cannot handle a vampire all by herself"
I spat out the word dog before climbing into the car. My anger did not subside as we reached the house. My dad unlocked the door and went inside. My mom stayed with me outside to talk. She put up he protective bubble making sure my dad could not hear. I mentally noted to make sure I thanked her for that later. Right now was not the best time for me to thank anyone. Let alone the woman who would have died to save me.
"Ok talk Renesmee" she said leaning up against the porsche. I sighed.
"I love him mom. I do but I am so afraid"
"Of? she asked as I leaned up against the car beside her.
"Everything. What will happen if I allow myself to love him openly. What if the Volturi find out and want to hurt me?" I could not get myself to utter Jacob's name in the same sentence.
"Is that it?"
"No" I sighed before continuing. "Then what about the wolves. They may not want Jake to be their Alpha because of me and then what would happen. Jake loves his tribe he could never abdon them. I wouldn't let him do that. Also I am just afraid of the complications of being with a wolf"
"First off the Volturi are no big deal. They know better now then to hurt any Cullen. We are family and we stick together" She smiled and wrapped an arm around my shoulder pulling me loser to her "The pak would never do that. It is onlt Hollie who hates you. Your father read their minds. Jake has actually painted a really good picture of you. They all think your cool" I nudged her in the ribs a little "Finally as for the complications of being with a wolf are only going to be minor compared to what you would feel if you do not be with him"
"Thank you mom" I said pulling away "but right now I think a shower is needed. My human side is in need"
I walked into the house and up the stairs. It wasn't our little cottage but the big Cullen manor. I liked using Alice's bathroom better. It was bigger. Emett is going to expand my bedroom for me. My parents are still out of the loop. He is careful not to think about it. A hard thing for Emett to do.
The hot shower allowed my head to wonder. To think of what had just happened. It was nice once to be able to think and process what had happened. Hollie obviously did not like me. Attaked me and out of no where. Then it hit me like a lighting bolt to the heart and I was out of the shower, hanged, and running before a seond had gone by. This was not going to happen. I am part vampire, but I am also part human. I am anything, but stupid.
As soon as my foot La Push grounds she stood there tensed and ready. As was I a deep snarl escaping my throat. Jacob was no where to be seen, but there was no doubt in my mind that he wouldn't be there in seconds. I looked at her and smiled my teeth showing. She recoiled. I laughed at her uneaisness of being this close to me.
"Can't stand it can you?" I asked her my voice dropping to a menicing vampir purr "My vampire half makes it so you are repulsed by me and yet you cannot attack me. I wonder why that is" I laughed a little as I saw her grimmince. "Oh yea that's it" I slapped my head lightly "Because Jacob Black imprinted on me before you were even thought of and you cannot stand that an you? I mean have you even told him yet?" I asked and she just looked at me as if she wanted to attack me, but could not. "You haven't? well that is shocking. I thought he would know by now after all your minds are linked to eachother"
"What don't I know? Jacob asked walking to me side. He wore nothing but a pair of shorts. I tried to concentrate. I was here for a reason.
"You haven't?" I asked with mock horror.
"Shut up you filthy bloodsucker" Hollie answere through her gritted teeth. I laughed again because her voice sounded so funny.
"Correction I am only half vampire"
"Hollie what haven't you told me? or have carefully not thought of when you knew I was listening?" the command was evident.
"You know that I cannot imprint. It is impossible for me to Jacob you know that. I love you though. I loe you more then anything" she looked at me as she spoke. Her fierce eyes never left the soft coolness of mine. "but you love this bloodsucker and she does not even love you back. It makes me sick"
"You do not know anything about me" I snarled my vampire side overriding my human. Jacob laid his hand on my shoulder calming me.
"Hollie get home she did not mover. Jacob took his hand off of my shoulder and pointed towards her house now" she quickly left and Jacob turned to look at me. "Sorry about her" I shook my head.
"It's fine Jake" I said allowing my eyes to find his "but she is right. You love me, but I do not return it. Why Jake? why do you love me?" I knew that answer. I always had known it, but I wanted him to say it. It would be eaiser to hear it before I could say how I felt. He stpped closer to me taking my small hand into his larger hand.
"Because my love for you has been there since the moment I saw you. It would be immposible for me to love anyone else, but you. I could wait an eternity for you" I smiled looking up at him.
"There is the silver lining"
Then I was kissing him. My hands locked like iron bas around his neck crushing him to me. His arms encircled my waist lifting me off of my feet. It was like no other kiss before. My first kiss. A howl errupted around us. A pained agonizing howl of a wolf. I pulled away before we went to far leaning my forehead against his. My feet on their tiptoes.
"I love you" I said smiling
"I have been waiting ninety eight years to hear you say those words" He was smiling widely. His sheepish grin turned into triumph.
"I know. It has taken awhile to build up the courage" I said smiling as well. He laughed loudly. "What?"
"What were you scared of?" he asked bewildered. My answer seemed so silly now.
"Well," I started trying to search for the perfect words. Talking about my feelings with Jake was not one of my many talents.
"Are you going to answer of just stand there confunded all day?" I took a deep breath as he spoke. He waited. He knew the answer was only moments from my mouth.
"My human emotions awere afraid of rejection which seems silly, but it does happen to be true so do not laugh" I eyed him for a moment. He had on his poker face so I continued "My vampire emotions however knew better. I just realized all along I have been running more from myself and my own scardy cat side then running from you. I was hurting myself"
He smiled and pulled me into a tight hug. I wrapped my arms around him burying my head into his chest. Taking a deep breath I took in his scent. The best scent in the world. It was mouthwatering. I controlled myself before looking up to him.
"Well don't you want to ask me something?"
"Not that I am aware of why?" he asked perplexed.
"Well I was under the impression when this moment came ou would want to ask me something" I smiled cutely and his smile turned into a wide grin.
"Well in that case I do" he steps away and takes my hand "Would you be my girlfriend?"
"I would more then love that" I said before he pulled me into another kiss.
