Chapter 16: Memory
Nessie's POV
I urgently pushed Jacob. Urging him to wake up as he laid asleep. Blissfully unaware that my father was seconds away from commiting a double homicide.
"Jacob wake up,"
"Wh-why?" he muttered sleepily.
"Because my dad's about two seconds away from killing us that's why!"
Jacob's eyes instantly flew open.
"You, you mutt!" dad screamed as he went for Jacob's throat.
"How could you?! With MY daughter?!"
Jacob dodged my father's attack just in the nick of time. I was honestly, seriously worried for Jacob's safety right now. I was sure that I'd never seen my father so angry before.
Dad. Angry. I could feel something buzzing around inside my head. Something waiting, itching to break free from the confines of my head. I could see flickers. Pieces of a puzzle. Random pieces of a puzzle that was from a forgotten life.
There was one time I'd seen my father angry before. Not as mad as he was right now but angry nonetheless.
I was playing upstairs in daddy's room by myself. Daddy had a large beautiful piano that I wasn't allowed to touch. I had seen him play a few times and I wanted to learn how to play but daddy didn't want to teach me. He kept saying it was "too painful," but he didn't tell me why.
Then I got an idea. Maybe I could teach myself how to play the piano. It couldn't be that hard, right?
I pressed a few of the buttons and then pressed some more. I knew that I was half vampire and that I was strong but I didn't know how strong I really was. Somehow I pressed too hard and the whole piano collapsed and was destroyed.
Daddy ran upstairs a few seconds later and when he saw what I'd done I knew he was angry. I felt bad for what I did. I didn't mean for it to happen.
"Sorry daddy,"
Something in my daddy changed right then and there. He got really angry and started screaming at me.
Things like "How dare you touch that piano when you know you're not supposed to," and "If you would just stay still and do as your told then this wouldn't have happened," and "That was the only thing I had that mattered anymore, and "You destroyed the only reminder that I had left of your mother,"
That last one really hurt me the most. Didn't I remind my daddy of my mommy? Everyone said I was a piece of my mother so it made sense even in my young mind that I would remind daddy of mommy.
I ran out of the house crying. Crying because it was clear to me that his piano was more important than me.
I looked back and no one was following me. I didn't know how long I ran for but stopped when I was in a part of the forest I had never been in.
I realized I didn't know how to get back home either. I'd run right and left so many times that couldn't remember how to get back home. Maybe running away was a bad idea.
I caught another scent on the wind. It was another vampire. I knew it wasn't my family because I'd never smelled this person before.
I thought maybe this vampire could help me get back home. My nose led me to a girl that looked older than me but not quite as old as my daddy.
The girl sniffed something in the air and then suddenly turned and saw me standing there. I took two steps back when I saw her red eyes.
She was wearing a dark cloak and a large V shaped necklace. The smile that she had on her face scared me a lot.
"Smells like a vampire but has a heartbeat like a human. What are young one?"
I didn't answer. Every single instinct in my tiny body was telling me to get as far away from her as possible and as fast as possible.
"I said what are you?!"
Suddenly my body was on fire. My insides burned as I fell to the ground. I screamed out in pain hoping my family would hear and help me. Every single part of my body was on fire inside and out. I didn't know it was possible to be in so much pain.
The girl smiled as she walked over to me. I couldn't even try to fight or run because the pain kept getting worse.
The girl picked me up and said "Aro will be interested in you. Whatever you are,"
I was suddenly snapped out of my flashback by Jacob's screaming. My father had him pinned against the wall.
Owen and Rosalin had come running in. Awoken by all the noises.
Suddenly my father was sent flying across the room. My mom had stepped in.
