"Jake!" Renesmee shouted, and shortly after, I did the same. Nessie had quicker reactions than me. Jacob stumbled around the room before collapsing to the floor, unconscious.
Renesmee was there beside him in an instant, and again, was shortly followed by me. Edward was even slower to react, and was still about to reveal his response to us. By the time he came to his senses, we had lifted Jacob onto our tiny sofa.
"Edward! Get some water." He looked at me, still confused, before filling a dusty, unused glass with water from the tap. "Jacob," I said, slapping his face so he would wake up. Nessie was in a state again, so I took over. After what seemed like an age, Jacob's eyes fluttered open. I wiped some of the blood of his face before handing him the water. "Jake, what happened? Who did this?"
"Nessie," he spluttered, "Go! Leave now." He tried to shout but it came out as barley a whisper.
"What?" she said. "I'm not leaving you." She said, taking his hand.
"Now, Jake, tell me who did this!" I demanded.
"Mum! Look at him!" Nessie said.
"We need to know. Who ever did this must be very dangerous. Remember how I told you about when Jacob kissed me for the first time? My hand hurt for weeks, and I only punched him! He's nearly as strong as us."
Jacob spoke again; "Please, Edward…" he looked past me. "Take them away. Go to England. I had passports ready in the cottage. Get them and go." He coughed and I looked from him to Edward and back again. Edward was shocked but he knew what was going on. He moved me and Nessie out of the way and spoke directly to Jacob.
"What is this? I won't take them away because they love you. And we need to stay here and warn our family about this thing that is so bad; it can hurt a werewolf or a vampire."
"It's taken Billy. Two days ago, he went missing and I found a note in the house. It said that Bella was next if I didn't- then the note was ripped. I don't know what they want…"
"Jacob, who did this to you, and how did they know where we lived?" I asked.
"Outside, I was coming to tell you all why I wanted Nessie to come away. Something followed me and did this." He indicated to himself, "They said that Nessie would be taken away after Bella if I didn't- and I tried to struggle, but they just pushed me through your window and ran away."
"You don't know who they are, what they are or what they want. This is tricky." Edward said. "First, let's call Carlisle. Bella, where's the phone?"
"Over there, me and Alice used it before to- OH, holy crap! Alice and Jasper left 10 minutes ago! The thing outside could be right behind them!" I was rushing around trying to remember what I was just about to tell Edward- the location of the phone. I fumbled with the buttons but I stopped- who would I call first? Alice, Carlisle, Emmett? If this creature knew where we were, it could easily find Rose and Emmett, or Carlisle and Esme. I was still debating this in my head when Edward took the phone and dialled a number. He spoke to fast for even my vampire brain to catch. I was in too much of a state to think, so I just sat down.
My head was spinning. A bloody Jacob had just messed up my kitchen, and told us that something was chasing him. The thing had taken Billy, and was going to pick off his family one by one until it got what it wanted- whatever that was.
Edward returned into the room. "They're all safe, and aware of the situation."
The phone in is hand buzzed, and after the second ring, he answered it. We all heard what was said.
"Hello," it was a strange voice, almost like a growl.
"Who is this?" Edward asked.
"That doesn't matter. But Jacob on."
"He's busy."
"I know he's there. Put him on the phone. Tell him he'll have an empty wheelchair if he doesn't speak to me."
Edward handed over the phone.
"What do you want?" Jacob growled.
"We want you to join us." Said the voice. Every jaw in the room dropped.
