Chapter 15
Jacob's POV
I followed the leech, running faster than a human but not as fast as I could run in my wolf form. What the hell did he want to talk to me about? I mean the guy knows I don't particularly like him but he still insists on being alone to talk to me. I mean I guess if he does anything bad I could just rip him apart. He stopped walking after we had got about 10 miles into the forest. Then he turned to face me.
"So Jake, I heard you were leaving." Freddie said with a smirk on his face.
"Excuse me, what?" what the hell is this dude talking about now?
He chuckled darkly. "You see Jacob; if you don't leave I'm afraid that Renesmee will end up either dead or part of the Volturi." I just stared at him blankly, what he had said hadn't really sunk in yet. "Yes, you see I was actually hired by one of the guards of the Volturi. They just wanted to see how Renesmee was doing but they said if there was a mutt anywhere near her then I should take her to Volterra. Now I don't actually want to do that, that's why I'm telling you to leave. Besides that I would quite like Renesmee for myself."
"Don't you ever touch her!" I growled at him. How dare he just waltz into Nessie's life like this and then threaten me that she will end up dead. I knew there was something wrong with this guy!
But surely if this guy was planning on doing any of this stuff Alice would have seen him or Edward would have heard him.
"How have you managed to get away with all this?" I asked him
"Well, that first day I met Ness she told me everything about her family. All of their abilities and what they could do. So I basically controlled my thoughts around Edward and never made up my mind properly about what I was planning to do so Alice couldn't see it." He smirked. Oh my god! I can't believe Nessie told him everything on the first day that she met him. Was she mad?!?! She had only just met the guy and she told him everything. What could even make her do something like that.
Then it occurred to me. "Freddie, do you have a power?"
"Of course. I can make people trust me." My mouth popped open. That's why Ness told him everything. That's why I could never really dislike him but still knew there was something wrong with him. He could make people trust him. That's why everyone in the family was instantly alright with him. I started to shake uncontrollably. The bastard!!
"Now Jake, if I were you I wouldn't phase in front of me. Because that means you're going to kill me right? Well if you kill me the Volturi will know straight away and then they will send some members of the guard to come and kill you and Ness."
I had to gain control over myself. I couldn't let him take Nessie out of the world.
"What do I have to do so that she will live?" I whispered. I didn't want the pain to show in voice. Even if it meant I would have to be away from her. I would do anything to make sure that she was alive and well. Although I'm sure it would be almost impossible for her to be happy, she was my imprint. It hurt her to be away from me just as it hurt me to be away from her.
"Oh that's simple. You just have to leave and never, ever come back." His voice was smug. He was enjoying every moment of this.
I nodded. "Can I at least say bye to her?" Freddie laughed loudly and then shook his head. Of course he wouldn't let me say bye to her. This was the worst day of my life. "Tell her I love her please." I begged him knowing he wouldn't do it. My voice broke at the end. I fought back the tears that were threatening to come through.
"Ha-ha, yeah right mutt. But don't worry, I will look after your girlfriend for you." And then he ran off. I presumed back to the Cullen's house. Back to Renesmee, I doubted I would ever see her again. And I had been so confident when I walked out of that door.
She grabbed my arm.
"Please, Jake. Just this once, don't go. I know I'm always asking you to get on with Freddie. But I have a bad feeling about this. Please." She was pleading with me to stay. When normally, she was the one asking me to give Freddie a chance.
"Ness, what's the worst that could happen?" I asked her. I kissed her forehead and then opened the door.
Why hadn't I listened to her? She knew something bad was going to happen and I didn't believe her. Now I would be lucky if I ever saw her again. I phased into a wolf and ran. I didn't stop running just letting all my happy thoughts of Renesmee come into my mind. And then I replayed the last time I was with her again through my mind. The horror in her eyes when I said everything would be fine. A tortured howl escaped from my lips and my legs buckled under me. Then I blacked out.
