Lol!! I'm not; I'm only (please don't think I'm a freak lol) two months, one week and five days younger than him =] and it was a little mind blowing for Nessie, but they work it out. And animekrazygirl12 (are you going to be a vet?), chill honey, it's being continued… And for all my other girls, here is the next chapter… =]

16) Wanted

My weeping body sought its refuge in Jacob's arms, so I relented and clung to him rather than trying to free myself from his hold. And he held me there, not saying anything like he did whenever I burst into tears, he just stood there, holding me, kissing my curls and hugging my body snugly.

I felt his body tense before I heard the voice or smelt the sickly sweet scent.

"Well, well, well. A nice bonding session isn't it?" Jacob growled low in his chest at the childlike voice.

As innocent as it sounded, I knew innocence was not what brought the speaker here and I turn encased in Jacob's arms to gaze upon the tiny, slim body headed with a face featuring wide burgundy eyes and full lips that stretched into a wicked grin. Pretty soft brunette hair fell limply in a lose tress fastened at the back of her skull and she could have fooled anyone into thinking she were an angel despite her eyes. Jane

My eyes were also briefly drawn over a tall and thick man, his size strongly reminded me of Uncle Emmett but his olive turned chalky skin looked very strange. His hair was jet black and cropped short and he shared the same burgundy eyes as Jane. This was Felix.

I remembered the conflict in the field after my birth, I remembered them wanting to kill me, and wanting to destroy my family. I remembered their lustful sadistic looks as they eyed my parents off.

"What do you want?" Jacob growled defensively. His arms moved slowly to shield me behind his body and I clung to his back, pressing my face there and looping my arms around his waist so he wouldn't move from me. If he phased, I would undoubtedly get hurt.

"Now, now," Jane smiled. "That's no way to speak to a guest."

"You're no guest here. What do you want?" Jake repeated fiercely.

"Oh, nothing much…"

"Apart from?"

"You're precious girlfriend right there," Jane pointed a finger delicately at me and I stepped closer to Jacob.

"You're never going to have her. We'll kill you. I will kill you."

I shivered at the truth I heard in Jacob's words. He would fight for me; he would protect me and shelter me, like he had promised. He would do anything and everything for me and he would always be there for me. Like he had promised.

"There's no need for that; just hand her over and we can leave. No brawls, just a simple exchange."

Jacob snarled at her proposal. "Like you could ever give me anything for taking her away from me."

"You're guaranteed to keep your life if you hand her over."

"Renesmee is my life. I will fight for her, I will kill for her and I will die for her. If you want to take her, then get through me first."

Jane stood still for a moment, her brown hair waving through the wind, before she smiled and spoke Felix's name.

Felix launched himself through the air towards Jacob in the same second that Jacob picked me up and threw me backwards. My back smashed against a tree trunk and winded me. I landed face down and the ground and flipped so I was facing Jacob and Felix.

Jake was standing post between Felix and I snapping and snarling ferociously and digging his paws into the ground. As I watched the stand off with wide fearing eyes, Jane watched it openly laughing. When Jacob pounced towards Felix and floored him by the neck, Jane whipped forward to strike Jacob in the thigh. His body staggered briefly before he tore Felix's head from his body and sent it into the forest.

The howl that escaped his jaws raked through my body and I stood there glaring at Jane.

"You sick, sadistic bitch," I hissed as I made to leap forward and grab her around her sorry throat.

She was much faster than I was and had grabbed the tops of my arms, flying up one of the towering trunks dotting the forest. She didn't stop until she reached the very top of a Wawona tree where she knew my wolf couldn't venture and I found it very hard to reign in my fear.

"JACOB! JAKE!" I uselessly screamed to him.

He stretched his body up the tree as far as he could and bowed his head back to bay. Numerous times he tried jumping up the tree and whimpered with each failed attempt.

"Jake!" I breathed.

"You're not so brave without your wolf now are you?" she blatantly asked me with her hands pinned around my shoulders holding me in the air.

If she were to drop me it would be a free fall right to the bottom. It wouldn't kill me, and it probably wouldn't hurt me, but I felt very height queasy all of a sudden. I reluctantly raised my hands to wrap around her ice cold, hard wrists.

"I wasn't being brave, I was being pissed off," I said as I swung a kick at her.

She just laughed at me and shook her head. "Renesmee, Renesmee, Renesmee. What was that for? You know that wouldn't harm me in any way."

"I know, but it was worth a shot," I muttered bitterly as I released her wrists and crossed my arms over my chest. For good measure I twisted my ankles together. If she was going to drop me, I was going to fall comfortably.

My eyes met Jane and if I had been on the ground I would have stepped back from her gleeful gaze.

Without warning, a searing, blazing pain shot through my head and I flung my hands to my head to suppress the pain. I heard my distant shriek as I if I were hearing it from five miles away underneath the surface of water.

It was over as quick as it began and I wept in relief. I wrapped my arms around my body and focused on evening my breaths. Jake's low whimpers were constant beneath be and I saw his eyes burning with pain, hate and love. I flashed my eyes shut and away from his face.

"You're a bitch," I stated for Jane.

"You really think so? Please forgive me; I've been dying for this for quite some time."

I bit my cheek and my tongue and raised my hand, lowering a few fingers so it was only the middle finger that stuck straight up at her.

"My, my. You've grown up so fast," she falsely crooned.

I smiled at the thought and couldn't resist. "Bite me."

Jane's eyes flashed and she moved me from the air to press my back against one of the flimsy branches. I squealed out of shock and attempted to push her back from me. Being half vampire had its weaknesses and she was tough for a little thing.

She lowered her mouth to my neck and licked me. "I was hoping I was the one that had the chance for this. I would love to have the pleasure to change you. But…"

"There's always a frigging 'but'!" I spat at her and she cackled again before she kissed me.

"… But if you were to die, I would have loved to have the pleasure of that, too."

Jane lowered her head to my neck again and I felt her teeth brush my neck. I closed my eyes against what was the possibility of pain. I inhaled a shaky breath and let a sob escape my lips.

"This might hurt a little," Jane whispered.

I released my breath in a huff as her teeth pierced my skin modestly. Jake's growl echoed in my mind and a loud crack somewhere made me blink my eyes open.

Frosty air was rushing past me; my hair was whipping around my face, my arms limp beside me as I fell unresistingly to the ground. My neck burned, and I felt the warm liquid flowing down my neck and smelt the awful rusty smell surrounding me.

"Ja-cob…" I breathed softly.

My eyes shut again and saw black.

*** — *** — ***

I indistinctly perceived Jacob's face above mine. The background of black, brown, green and gray was moving. He was running. His arms were warm and tight around me, holding me protectively and rushing me somewhere safe. I didn't know where we were going, but I knew it was somewhere safe; I was in his arms. He would make me safe and healthy and happy again.

I raised one of my hands and caressed his cheek, shooting him emotions of security and trust. I also filmed him emotions of love, strong love for him and regret for doubting his love.

Jacob turned his head in my hand and kissed my palm, never once breaking his stride.

"I've got you, baby. I love you, Nessie. I'm so sorry, baby," he whispered as he pressed another kiss to my palm.

Despite his exterior strength, he was hurting inside. I heard his heart beating more rapidly and felt a tear sneak its way between my hand and his cheek.

I brushed it away thoughtfully and turned my head to kiss where his arm cradled me against his shoulder. "Don't be, babe. Don't be sorry. I know you have me, and I'm thankful you do. I know you love me, and I'm sorry for doubting that. I love you, Jacob. I love you." His black eyes intently gazing into my heart was the last thing I saw before I was lost.
