Chapter 10- Secrets are Meant to Be Told
Renesmee's POV
"Jacob, you aren't angry with me, are you?" I ask Jacob as we walk along the banks of the river.
We left Leah hours ago. Jake had insisted we head home my parents wouldn't worry. We still haven't made it home.
The moonlight is strong tonight. The white light reflects and dances on the lethargic river. Jake has taken my shoes in his hand and my hand in his other. A perfect fit. The small river rocks feel like a massage.
"How could I be angry with you, silly? You haven't done anything wrong," Jake smiles and pulls me to a fallen log. He sits down on the log and slowly pulls me next to him. I watch the river drag crumbled leaves on.
"Who are you angry with the? I'm sorry about my parents. They…Bella, was trying to be nice. I don't think Edward even wanted to come…" I blurt out unnaturally. I feel myself tense up in fear. Am I in danger?
"Yeah, right. I'm not mad at them. I don't think they can get to me that quickly," Jake hands me back my shoes. I slip them back on and then retake his hand.
"So who are you angry with? Jake? What aren't you telling me?" insisting I search his face. I see him give in and sigh.
"Let's not ruin tonight, Nessie. We are alone together. We shouldn't focus on the loose screws in my head," Jake turns to me and pushes a lock of hair that has just fallen in my eyes and tucks it behind my ear. "Do you really want to waste the night on me? Or us?"
I can tell he doesn't want to talk about it. I don't want to give in. I want to know. But he looks so…so… "I choose you. I always choose you," I lean into Jake smiling. I wrap my arms around his neck and a kiss his neck.
"Renesmee Carlie Cullen! Are you aware of what time it is?" Bella's voice rings through the woods.
I feel ashamed. I'm sitting in the main house on the sofa. My entire family is glaring down at us. Once Bella came to us the entire family came. Their eyes gleamed with anger at us. I was pulled out of Jacob's embrace by Alice and Jacob was pulled up by Edward and shoved away from us. Edward and Jacob stood a few feet away from me. I could see them crouched at each other and growling.
I tried to break free of Alice's grasp but it was impossible. They dragged me all the way home. Jake had followed slowly.
"I'm sorry, guys. I didn't know it was late. What time is it anyway?" I glance at Carlisle's watch…10:16. 10:16! "It's not late at all! Why are you guys really mad?" I growl at them. They look guilty over at Edward who clenches his fists.
"We got a call saying you guys were coming home and you never came home. And then we find you Renesmee and you…you…you are wrapped around that dog! What are you thinking? It is not safe for you to be around him!"
"Edward! Stop that right now! That excuse is tired! When are you going to learn he is not dangerous?" Bella argues back. Her anger with me has been replaced by the anger toward her husband.
"You know they are dangerous, Bella! Remember Emily? You've seen the danger with Paul!" Edward says quickly. His voice is low but his words are scathing.
Jacob tenses up and roars "Leave them out of it, Leech! You know I would never hurt Renesmee!"
Edward pulls Jacob off the couch and pushes him away from me. "What about doing something she doesn't want to? Or isn't ready to? Don't you go there, dog!" Edward argues back with Jacob's thoughts. "What about her mother, Jacob? Was her mother ready? Did she want you to do that? Do you have any boundaries? You may have… but she still has a choice!"
Jacob is breathing hard like he has been yelling, even though he hasn't said a word. I look at both of them. What are they arguing about? I gather the courage to ask, "What are you two talking about?" They don't answer. They look at their feet and shake their heads. "Fine! Don't tell me! It's just a fight about me! I don't need to know anything!" I scream and run from the house. No one tries to stop me.
I ran to the cottage and flung myself on my bed. I use my pillow to mop up my tears. Nothing went right tonight. I'm going to lose Jacob. I feel myself tense up again, like earlier tonight. I fear him leaving me. I fear being alone.
"Nessie?" A cool voice calls to me. I turn my head to see Bella standing in my doorway.
"Since when do you call me that? Only Jacob calls me that," I mumble angrily. She cant replace him.
"I heard him say it. I like it. Are you alight?" Bella asks and walks further into my room. When I don't answer she sighs. "Of course you aren't alright. I'm sorry."
"What were they arguing about, Mom?" I don't care if she wants me to call her Bella. She's my mom.
"I wish I knew. I can't read minds, y'know," Bella mumbles and sits on the edge of my bed.
"They were arguing about us! How can you not know!"
"I need to talk to Edward about it. I don't think it is my place to say, not yet. I just wanted to let you know that everything I going to be okay. How can things not? We're magical," Bella kisses my forehead and leaves.
This is dark magic. I will find out what is going on.
Leah's POV
Alright, so I didn't kill her. I couldn't. Not yet. I will though. It is my vendetta. She killed my mate. She made him someone else. He is no longer mine.
I did ruin their date though. I called the Leech Family and told them that they had left hours ago. I just innocently wanted to talk to Renesmee. How was I supposed to know they would get in trouble? Ha.
I want her to suffer before she goes. To make her wish she hadn't met Jacob. To make her wish she was dead. It shouldn't be too hard. She is half human. Human teenagers are easy to upset. Especially girls. I cant give her a bad perm…so what should I do instead?
I ponder this as I stoop to a crouch. Three, two, one, and SNAP! I lunge for the deer. The soft fur tears easily beneath my teeth. I am a wolf. I am a wolf. I eat like a wolf. I kill like a wolf.
Renesmee is a deer.
Jake's POV
I cannot believe those leeches! Kicked off the property until I decide to tell Renesmee about the Imprinting! I don't want to scare her away! If I tell her about imprinting she will need to know everything! I cant tell her…but if I don't I wont be allowed near her…
What should I do?
What should I do?
I phase and instantly hear: "I kill like a wolf. Renesmee is a deer." Oh, shit.
