Chapter 6: Missing

Jacob's POV

I laid there in bed right next to my wife who was crying into my chest. I felt like crying myself. Today was hard. This date was always hard. It was hard for me, Nessie, Seth, Paul, Leah, Sam, Embry, Quil, and myself. For on this day many years ago our kids simply vanished without a trace.

My little girl was only two years old when it happened. Her birth was nothing short of a blessing and a miracle to us because Carlisle had been convinced that Nessie would never be able to conceive a child due to being a hybrid. So she was an unexpected blessing and a miracle all rolled into one small bundle of joy. We named her Natalie because I had always loved that name for a girl.

Everyone was happy. We were all beginning to form families of our own. The first tragedy we ever had was when my sister Rachel died in a car accident. Paul nearly went insane with grief. Up until that point we had never known what it was like to loose an imprint and we hoped that we would never have to go through something like that ever again. All Paul had left of her was a daughter of his very own. He handled his grief by going out to bars and drinking a lot. One night he met another woman there and it was through a brief and drunken one night stand with her that his son Jaden was born. Nine months later she dumped the baby with a note on his doorstep and left. A DNA test confirmed that the baby boy was his. After that he started to get better. Taking care of his kids seemed to ease the pain at least a little bit. That was until Jaden missing at the same time that all of our kids did.

To this day we still do not understand what happened. I was on patrol the night they went missing. When I got back home that night I found Nessie in tears because she could not find our girl anywhere. Who would do this to us? Why would they do this to us? Most importantly, how did they do this to us? How can anyone manage to sneak past a pack of wolves, a vampire-hybrid, and several vampires and steal a bunch of kids? It had to have been someone from the supernatural world. No human would have been able to pull something like this off. But there are so many of us? Just how? It does not make any sense and I'm not sure it ever will make any sense.

We nearly went insane looking for our missing children. Not once in the past 14 years did we ever stop looking for our children. Nessie and I did have one other child during that time. A boy that we named Jacob Jr. The name was Nessie's idea this time not mine. But who was I to oppose a name like that?

After what happened to Natalie Nessie and I were extremely overprotective of our son. I know it annoyed our son but we were determined to keep him safe. He was 11 years old now and he was already phasing into a wolf. He was easily the youngest person to ever phase. I made sure that he didn't do anything dangerous when he was a wolf.

I worried about my son a lot. When my kids were born Carlisle had said that they would not be able to have children of their own. Nor would they be able to imprint if they ever did phase since reproducing was the entire reason for phasing in the first place.

"Jacob?"

I had been so observed in my own thoughts that I had not even realized that my wife had stopped crying.

"It's okay Nessie. It's okay" I told her as I held her close to me. I used my thumb to gently wipe away the tears that were still on her cheek.

"Do you think we will ever find her Jacob?"

The pain in her voice was evident and it killed me that I could not do anything to take away her sadness. The sadness that she felt, that we both felt, would never go away until we found our girl. Only then would the pain go away.

"Nessie I'm sure that we will find her. We will find her if it is the last thing that we ever do. We will get her back and we will be a family again"

"But-"

My phone rang and stopped her from saying whatever it was that she was going to say. I was surprised to see that it was Edward calling. Nessie's father never called me unless it was something very important. Nessie must have still had her phone off and whatever he needed to say must have been extremely urgent.

"Hello?"

"Jacob I need to tell you and Nessie something very important. We just found your daughter and your granddaughter"

"My what?!" I yelled.
