Chapter 4: Mom
Nessie's POV
Everything seemed to happen in slow motion after that. My mother had started to attack my father. Mere seconds afterward the rest of the family, with the exception of Carlisle and Emse, had joined my mother. All of them viciously attacking my dad and Alice.
I was scared and I had no idea what to do. I screamed but no one seemed to notice. With strength I didn't even know I possessed I broke free from Carlisle's restraining arms and bolted toward the exit.
I heard several people screaming my name over and over again but I didn't care. I ran faster then I ever had before. Straight into the forest. My only plan was to get as far away as I could. Soon their voices faded into the background.
My foot got caught on a branch causing me to trip and twist my ankle all at the same time. I always extra clumsily but why did I have to be extra clumsy right now?
Tears fell from my eyes as the pain in my ankle got worse. As I sat there I had more time to think. Think through the pain. I had never felt so hurt and betrayed before. Edward? He was my biological father? He lied to me. He lied to everyone. How could he just do that to me? How could he do that to everyone?
I had another, sudden realization hit me. If my parents were vampires did that make me a vampire? Or at least part vampire? I had to have some vampire in me didn't I?
I started to cry as the emotions overwhelmed me. All of this time I had believed that my biological family abandoned me. I was wrong. They had always wanted me and loved me. They just thought that I was dead.
It felt like I was frozen to the spot. I could not think. I could not feel. I could not move. I was just frozen in shock and any time I tried to move my ankle exploded in pain. Thankfully my parents were away on business this week so they wouldn't notice that I was missing and go searching for me. They would've considering the amount of time that was passing. Day had begun to give way to night.
I heard a noise around me and I instantly looked up. Bella was standing about twenty feet away from me. She neither moved or spoke. She just stood there looking at me. As if waiting for some sign to approach me.
Seeing her, and knowing that she was my biological mother, filled me with happiness and made me smile. Two seconds later I was engulfed in her arms. As ice cold and rock hard as they were I never felt discomfort. Only love. I didn't need her to say it. I could feel it. She had never stopped loving me all these years she thought I was dead.
I started to cry.
"It's okay Nessie. It's okay" she whispered in a comforting and soothing kind of way. She just let me cry for God only knows how long. She didn't seem to mind that I was soaking her shirt with my tears or the runny nose that always accompanies crying.
"I'm sorry" I finally choked out.
"For what?" she asked, the confusion evident in her voice.
"For crying like this"
She sighed. "Oh Nessie don't apologize for that. You have every right to cry. I would be crying even worse then you right now if I could. Believe me I wish I could"
I couldn't help but smile a little.
"Nessie I just want you to know that I have always loved you and I always wanted you. When he told me that you had died it crushed me. It crushed all of us. We all loved you and wanted you to be part of our family. You were, are, a miracle to us. A miracle we never thought possible"
"Why? I mean why am I a miracle?" I asked her.
"Because I was human when I had you. Your father was a vampire and I was a human. It was strongly believed that a vampire could never have a baby. So when we discovered you it was a huge shock, but also a huge blessing to all of us"
"Wait so if you were a human and my father a vampire does that make me-"
"Half vampire? Yes Nessie. You are indeed half human and half vampire"
Whoa. What a huge bombshell to drop on a person. Way too many bombshells to drop on a person at once.
"Nessie if you don't mind the whole family wants to see you and talk to you right now. So can you come back with me?"
"Talk to me? About what?"
"Everything. Your life. We want to get to know you. We've always loved you Nessie and now that we have the chance we want you to still be apart of our family. I mean unless you don't want-"
"No! Not at all. I would love to be apart of your family!"
"Our family" she corrected.
"Is Edward or Alice going to be there? Because I really don't want to see either one of them right now"
"Don't worry about that Nessie" Bella growled. "Alice is gone and Edward is literally in pieces right now-"
"You didn't burn them did you!?" I yelled. I knew all about how to kill vampires. Rip them apart and burn the pieces.
"No" Bella said. "I didn't go that far. However I never want to see him again. As a matter of fact your grandfather is getting in contact with the best divorce lawyers in the country as we speak. But enough about that. Right now it's all about you. So let's go"
I tried to get up but the pain in my ankle stopped me. Bella helped me up easily.
"Sorry I twisted my ankle and it's hard to stand let alone walk. I'm super clumsy. I can't even cut vegetables or fruit anymore because of clumsiness. Almost lost a finger a few times"
Bella had that look on her face. The 'I know something that you don't' look. I wondered what was going through her head.
With Bella's help we were soon ok our way back to the Cullen residence.
