Chapter 3 – Morning Disasters

Morning came. And there they were, sprawled on the ground, covered in blood and dirt. Somehow, it was the most romantic thing in the world. Rosalie and Emmett might've destroyed a few rooms, or houses, but these two had stuck to themselves. Even the tree was in perfect shape, only a few scrapes here and there.

They were asleep, lying in the grass next to each other, completely naked, when they were found.

Earlier that morning, around four a.m., Bella started to pace around in her bedroom. Edward followed suit. Both were worried about their daughter. Usually she would've come back long ago, midnight at the latest. They knew she was with Jacob.

What Edward wouldn't share with his wife was what was on Renesme's mind when she left to go for a stroll with her love. He knew Jacob, his son in many ways, wouldn't allow her to try. What if something went wrong? Jacob was more responsible than a teenage daughter, or so Edward thought.

"Edward! Where are they?!" Bella screeched.

Finally they had decided to go out to search for them. If one was hurt, the other wouldn't leave their side. And if it was Jacob who was hurt, Nessie couldn't tow him back to the house. There was a chance that the two had fallen asleep by now, for they were the only ones who actually needed sleep, besides Seth, who was a frequent visitor.

The worried parents ran the short distance to the larger, more extravagant house that housed the rest of their family. Esme and Alice, who were discussing kitchen renovations, looked up in shock as the couple crashed through the front door, sending the door banging against the wall and swinging back again. Even Alice had been so engrossed in her plans that she didn't see them coming.

Jasper and Emmett were in a middle of one of their ridiculous games of chess, with twelve by twelve boards set up. Rosalie sat opposite Carlisle, as if it was a four person game, which seemed quite possible. They all seemed as shocked by the disturbance. Usually Bella and Edward were locked in their home, unable to be pulled apart.

Carlisle was the first to speak. "What's wrong?!" he demanded.

Bella collapsed to the floor, her hands covering her face. Her body shook as she wished for tears to come. Edward, who would normally bend down and comfort his love, just stood stock still, eyes wild. Finally he spoke, "Nessie hasn't come home."

At that point there was a large bang and some swears as a large figure came down the stairs. Apparently Seth had been woken up by the noise and had tried to groggily make his way down the elaborate staircase. "Wh-what's happening?" he asked, rubbing his eyes. "Edward? Hey, what's wrong with Bella?"

Edward just glared at Seth. The child did not need to help them. Edward could never think of Seth as being in his mid-twenties, as he was now. He was still the fun-loving, foolish teenager to him. Alice rushed to the sleepy werewolf and told him that Nessie and Jacob were missing. Seth immediately perked up, forgetting his tiredness. Jake was his pack's alpha wolf after all.

They were organized into couples, each searching for the two lovers in different directions. Seth stuck close to Edward and Bella, in wolf form, knowing that Edward could hear his thoughts. He ran ahead, searching for his friend and leader.

And it was Seth who found the field of tall grass surrounded by trees. And it was he who smelled Jacob and Renesme. Before he saw them, however, he rushed back to Edward and Bella.

The three ran and top speed to the elder tree where the scent was strongest. Of course it was so strong; dried blood was everywhere.

It looked like they were mauled by a bear. Bella let out a scream as she saw her daughter covered in her own and Jake's blood. She was only asleep, but it looked like she was unconscious. In a matter of seconds, the rest of the family appeared around the tree; they had heard the mother's scream.

"Whoa," Emmett let out. He couldn't even make a joke out of it. Somehow, they all understood what had happened last night.

Everyone was silent after that. Finally, Nessie woke up, waking Jacob in the process. She looked around her, confused. Suddenly, visions of the previous night came back to her. She immediately let out her own scream and tried to cover up. But that just made her feel her own skin, and the caked on blood and gashes covering her.

Jake was still very tired and couldn't understand anything that was going on. He was still staring up at the sky, unable to notice the people surrounding him, when he heard Nessie's scream. Reflex reaction: he jumped up and turned into a wolf. That's when he noticed the surprised vampires and the lone wolf staring at him. Seth thought about what he had just seen, and Jacob let out a long howl, remembering what had happened that night. He then turned back human and pulled Nessie into his lap.

The now-not-innocent girl looked at her love's body. It was scarred and dirty. So was hers. The couple started to remember everything from the night before.

"Let go of my daughter, you bastard!" Edward yelled all of a sudden. He could see everything Nessie and Jacob were thinking. "I said, drop her!" He started to advance on the couple. Bella reached out, but he shook her off. Anger was tinting everything he saw red.

Out of nowhere, Nessie was flung into her mother's arms and Jacob thrown in the opposite direction.

Edward ran after him, shouting, "How dare you violate my daughter! You could've stopped her! Now look at her! She's covered in scars thanks to you!" By this time, Nessie's father was so deep in the forest, she couldn't even see him.

Finally Emmett found his voice. "Hey, being scarred up isn't so bad, Nessie! Just look at Jasper; he's happy!" There was a loud cracking sound and Emmett was lying on the ground; Jasper's arm was outstretched.

Carlisle glared at his sons. "You two, and Seth, go after them. Don't let them kill each other. I'll be there shortly." Then he turned to his grand-daughter, who was shivering in her mother's cold arms. "Sweetie, we're going to take you home. We'll get you cleaned up. You have nothing to worry about."

Tears flowed freely from Nessie's eyes. She was able to choke out, between sobs, "I'm not a child! I can make my own choices! Last night was my choice! Dad doesn't have to kill my boyfriend because things got out of control!!" She jumped out of Bella's arms and tried to run after Jacob and Edward. But Esme stopped her. She placed her arms around Nessie and hugged the naked girl to her own, clothed body.

Once again, Carlisle tried to talk to Nessie. "Fine. I will talk to you like an adult." He took a deep breath then let out, "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?! DID YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF--AND JACOB--YET?! YOU'RE COVERED IN SCRAPES AND SKRATCHES AND CUTS AND BRUISES! TELL ME, DAMMIT, WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!!" No one had ever seen Carlisle act so angry in his life. However, this was just a cover-up for what the man was really thinking. Maybe Renesme was pregnant. Then he could finally experiment.

Author's note: JACOB'S IN TROUBLE!! don't you think this is how Edward would react? an overprotective bf, and overprotective father. uh...i felt like having Carlisle explode. too tempting to give up. he just needs to cover up until he finds out if Nessie is pregnant or not. can she even get pregnant? seriously, these are the questions that haunt me. and will be answered in this story. teehee. have fun reading. one more chapter is going up today , then i need to write more.
