CHAPTER 9-Renesme
"Renny…Renny wake up." My eyes flutter open and I find mine inches away from deep burgundy ones.
"Hunter." I whisper breathlessly. I'm about to pull him to me but there's something wrong. His eyes are darkening. I cannot see any emotion in them. They are flat. Dead.
He bares his teeth, and I flinch when I see that his canines are elongated.
He's staring me right in the eye when he tilts his head down and sinks his teeth in my throat. I thrash around and shriek, but no sound comes out of my mouth.
"Renny!" I hear someone shout, and Hunter's body is thrown off mine.
I gasp , looking up fore the one has saved me, and I'm first shocked then confused.
My savior is Hunter
But not like the 'dark' Hunter. This Hunter is full of compassion, protectiveness…and love.
The dark Hunter snarls and attacks the 'light' Hunter.
"I am you and you are me. It's foolish to try and fight back." He snarls, and as I watch, he begins to extinguish the other Hunter's light.
As he fades away, he uses his last ounce of strength to look me in the eye and say, "One say, I'll win the fight against you. One day, someone will find me and save me."
And when I see the light in his eyes die out, I begin screaming.
"Hunter!" I shriek.
"Nessie! Shhh, it's okay." Says a voice.
"Hunter!" I sob into his chest, "Are you okay? I was so scared."
He catches my wrists in his hands. "Nessie, are you okay? Who's Hunter?" Jacob asks, bemused.
My eyes widen and I pull the covers over my head. I still don't understand what happened with Hunter that day, but it still comes back, nagging me to no end.
"Nessie?" Jacob asks again.
"Nothing. I say from under the covers. "Just a dream."
"Bye Jessie." I say tearfully, hugging her for the last time in a long time.
"Don't say 'bye'. That sounds like you'll be gone for good. 'I'll see you soon' sounds better." She smiles weakly, the leans forward. "And Hunter says that he'll always be there for you , and that I should believe in you." She whispers into my ear.
I blink and fight back tears. He hasn't left me. he still believes in me. I thing, and hug Jessie again, and this time, it's me who gives her whispered advice. "Go for Peter."
She steps back with a confused look on her face, but her blush gives her away. I laugh as we wave goodbye to them, and the wave back, with Ethan and Collin, who've arrived a short time ago.
When we finally board the plane, I wave goodbye to St. John's, my home for the past few months, but my heart years for the scent of pine trees, earth and home.
I'm going back to Forks.
that's all for now! see you all soon!
