CH 9: Immortal No Longer
All the characters belong to Stephanie Meyers except for Moon, Grace, and the newborns
Jacob POV
My paws seemed to glide across the soft soil as I took off from the reservation towards the Cullen's house. There was nothing going through my head except that I needed to get there as fast as I could. I jumped over a rotting log wrinkling my nose as I passed over it, I quickly side stepped to my right to avoid smashing through a tree in my way. I noticed that I haven't heard the pack in my head yet and remembered that they were all in Emily's house setting up the new patrol schedule. Ever since this leech has been on his killing spree the pack has been running a farther perimeter going as far as to circle back around the mountains. I shook my giant head to clear my head of these thoughts and focused solely on getting to the Cullen's house. I skidded to a stop when I was twenty feet from the house and shifted back to my human form. I slid on my sweat pants and that was when I heard a gasp come from the house.
"Jacob come in here now!" The excited voice of Edward penetrated the silent and tense atmosphere. I ran towards the door and pulled it open as fast as I could. I ran to the living room to see everyone circled around Nessie with an awed expression. I pushed Emmet out of the way and looked down at the angel that was my imprint. I looked at her and lost my voice suddenly becoming mute of any sounds.
"Carlisle what….what happened" I asked him in a whisper as I looked down at Nessie. Her face was no longer the pale I had got used to but had color to them now. Her chest was slowly moving up and down with a thumping noise accompanying it. I listened more intently and realized that thumping noise was her heard pumping blood.
"Jacob follow me to my office" Carlisle said as his voice finally penetrated my hearing and I followed him up the stairs slowly. Once we reached the top he opened his office door for me and I slipped inside in silence and I didn't register I was sitting until I felt the soft material beneath me.
"How is this possible" I asked him, my voice barely above a whisper. If he was a human I don't think he would have been able to hear my question.
"I have a theory to why this happened. Renesmee was half vampire and only needed a full vampire's venom to make her into one. Well her human side was forced dormant meaning it never fully left her. The two years she was a vampire her human side was slowly building up resistance to the intruder which was the venom. When the vampire mentally attacked and weakened her vampire body the human side seized its opportunity and fought off the venom but it could not fight off all of it. Since the human side could not fight off all of it she went back to only being half vampire and half human" Carlisle explained to me while I looked at him in disbelief.
"So your saying that she's her old self before Aro bit her?" I asked him with a skeptical tone in my voice.
"Precisely" He said gently smiling at me and I had no other choice but to believe him. I grabbed the arms of the chair to stand up when he stopped me.
"Jacob this new discovery pertains to you too" He said and I sat back down slowly.
"Renesmee human side was dormant and she is the closest to shape shifters. I have reason to believe that the same thing could happen to you at any moment and at any time." He looked at me when he finished his statement and I looked at him with a worried expression etched into my face.
"You're saying that what happened to Nessie could happen to me?" I said softly looking down at my abnormally large feet.
"Yes but you see this could be a problem. There is a fight on the horizon Jacob and if this happens during it then you will not only place yourself in danger but Renesmee and the pack as well." Carlisle informed me with a straight face, but I could see the look of worry buried deep in his honey gold eyes.
"I took a sample of Renesmee blood and I have reason to believe that if you drink the sample you will go through the same changes that she went through except you will not be human but you will go back to being what you once were." I quickly looked up at him and watched his face looking for a sign of him lying to me.
"You mean I will be human?" Carlisle chuckled at me and gave me one of his gentle smiles.
"Jacob your people stop being fully human once the wolf gene takes into effect, what I meant to say was is that you will be a shifter again." I could barely hold back my smile until a thought took root inside my head,
"Why would it work on me?" I asked Carlisle and he walked over to me and placed his hand on my shoulder.
"Jacob while you are a vampire you should not be able to still shift. Shifting was not your gift but it was a sign that the shifter side of you never disappeared. I have no idea how you lived getting bitten but I do know that this can only work on you or any other shifter that was bitten by a vampire." He said to me and handed me the vial with Renesmee blood in it. I held it up to the light and I could see the dark red liquid move from side to side as I sloshed it around in the vial.
"So do I just drink it or what?" Carlisle laughed at my expression, his laugh sounding like bells going off in a church but it was still pleasing to the ear.
"Yes Jacob but I must warn you that I do not know how long you will be rendered unconscious." He told me with his eye brows pulled together. I smiled at him and popped the cork off the vial. I looked at it one more time and then I poured it into my open mouth. At first I felt nothing but then I felt a white hot pain and I began to fall unconscious. The last thing I saw was Carlisle's eyes and I fell into a deep sleep.
So tell me if you liked it by clicking the review button. Sorry once again for the late update but I had to figure out a way to put this into the story and not make it sound too magical and make it more scientific.
