Chapter 10: Awakening
Dr. Carlisle worked quickly on her, but seeing Rose's expression I could tell things weren't as Carlisle thought. I couldn't take it and took off running. I just couldn't handle the thought of anything else going wrong. Curse my damn temper. As I exited the house, I shifted and ran. Something I hadn't done since Bella chose Edward over me. As I sprinted away from the house, I still couldn't evade my guilt and depression. The pain seemed to overcome me as I collapsed. I sobbed uncontrollably into the cold ground that I buried my face into.
It wasn't long before I wasn't the only voice inside my head. It was Paul, my brother-n-law. "Jake, buddy whats wrong?" I began sending him images of what had happened to Nessie. I could feel his sympathy. That was the last thing a monster like me needed. "Jake, you're not a monster." He snapped at me. But I couldn't believe that. Only a monster would cause their soul mate near death. "Jake..." He began to repeat himself as I shifted back. I didn't want any one in my head. Hell I didn't want me in my head. I just laid there naked, curled into the fetal position until darkness began to set. I still wasn't ready to face what I had caused. I pulled myself from the now frozen ground and put on my pants.
I began to walk aimlessly through the dark desolate forest. I didn't care where I went. All I wanted was Joham to finish me off, at least I couldn't hurt her any more. For hours I walked losing myself deeper and deeper in the forest. I walked as the pale moon was chased from the sky by the sun. At sun rise I paused and looked around. I couldn't believe it. I had made my way back to the Cullens. Maybe this is where I belong and it was fate that brought back. I walked through the front door only to be met by Edward glowering at me. "Dog, I have a bone to pick with you." He snarled at me as his body became tensed. He was ready to rip me to shreds and I welcomed my inevitable fate.
"How dare you make my baby girl cry." He scowled, but I didn't care. I rushed up the stairs and entered her room. "Jakey!" She screeched excitedly as I came and sat down beside her on the bed. I wrapped my arms tightly around her. I never wanted to let her go. "Um Jake, I can't breathe." I hear her choke out. "I'm sorry," I said as I loosened my hold.
"Oh Nessie, I'm so glad you're alright. I was so worried." I began to say as I looked into her eyes. "Whats wrong?" "Worried unh? You left me and when I awoke to see your face, you weren't here." I felt my guilt creep back into my body. "I'm sorry Ness Bear. What can I do to make it up to you? Anything, you name it." I watched as she been to calculate how to manipulate me. "Well, I know of one way." She said as she leaned closer and kissed me. Instantly I could feel the sparks shooting wildly throughout my body. Simultaneously we deepened it with the passion that had been locked away. I knew where this was heading but for some reason I couldn't stop myself.
"Not with my niece you don't!" I heard someone growl from the doorway. Quickly we pulled away, both of us panting, blushing, and wanting more. We turned our heads to see Emmett glaring at me. he was ready to attack. He walked over to me and jerked me from where I sat, and then sat down. "She's too young for that." He warned as he turned he attention back to Nessie. "How you feelin' today, Princess?" "Find now that Jakey is back." Her eyes lighting up as she said my name. "Ness.." He began to say as he heard Rosalie call him. "I'll be right back and nothing better happen while I'm gone." He warned as he disappeared out the door. I slid into the bed next to her and she snuggled up to me. I had never found my own personal nirvana until now. It was Nessie curled in my arms as she laid by my side. As we laid there silently my mind began to race with thoughts. One thought kept plaguing me about what had happened that night. I turned and looked into her beautiful eyes and I asked, "Nessie what did you show Joham, that made him mad?"
She glanced up at me as a devious smile crossed her lips. She placed her hand upon my cheek and began let the images begin to flow.
