Chapter 17: Revelation
Hours later I awoke alone in a familiar room. I could hear them downstairs talking, and I all could do is wondered if Nessie was here. I climb out of bed and make my way downstairs. On my way downstairs I stop by Nessie's room and peek in. It is empty and I can feel sadness begin to engulf me. I walk down the white staircase and I'm instantly met by Bella, Alice, and Esmee. No one else is in the house they had all gone hunting. "Jake how are you feeling?" Bella asked I know she still cares for me even though I broke her daughter's heart. "I'm feel fine. How long was I out?" "Oh about 5 hours." "Whe-re is Nessie?" I was afraid to hear the answer. I couldn't handle it if something had happened to her. Bella, Alice, and Esmee didn't seem distraught so she must be fine. "She's hunting with her dad, uncles,and Rosie." Esmee said and I sigh relief. "They should be back any moment." Alice said as her eyes glazed over momentarily. I walked over the sofa and sat down. I know they was dying to know about my revelation I received in La Push, but they had to wait for the whole family to return.
I watched the door waiting to see Nessie, come bouncing through the door, hoping that she loved her necklace. I had missed her so much. It was memories of her that kept me alive. I watch as the door knob turn and I could hear laughing coming from the other side as it swung open. At the sight of me all the laughter stopped. "Jakey!" I heard an excited squeal as I was ambushed by an invisible person. I couldn't believe how fast she was. "I've missed you so much." She said as she clung to me. I felt my heart race. "So I take it I'm forgiven." I said happily. She sat on my lap her arms wrapped around my neck, and head snuggled in the crook of my neck. I was so happy. "No, not yet. I think graveling is in order." She said teasingly as she looked into my eyes and then pressed her lips to mine. There it was the sensation I missed so much. After a moment we broke apart as he heard two growls. Emmett and Edward were still very protective of her. I don't blame them. "I love the locket, " she softly whispered in my ear, "They saying on the back goes for me too. I am forever yours." She continued. I at this point in time I couldn't be any happier.
"So Jake tell me what is going on with Calvin." Edward spoke up. I was shock that he didn't make Nessie leave. I guess he knew I couldn't let her go. "Well, Calvin actually lives on the reservation where his dad is the doctor. Also he is Leah's imprint and they are very happy. He hadn't even attended Jamestown at all this year. I think Joham is some sort of shape shifter, who can only shift into living breathing humans. It sounds weird, I know, but it fits. Why would he give up so easily on the one thing he wants. Nessie." I rambled as I felt her grip tighten on me. She was scared, and I was scared for her. Edward sat silently taking in all that I said. "Interesting dog. A shape-shifting vampire. That would explain why the Volturi spared him." He said I could tell that this made him uneasy. In his eyes all humans were now a threat, because he didn't know which one Joham might morph into. I heard Nessie yawn. She climbed off my lap and told everyone good night. I watched as she disappeared up the stairs. I wouldn't to follow, but I didn't want to push my luck, and we still had to plan on how to keep her safe.
For hours we sat there silently trying to figure out how to defeat our super supernatural enemy. How do you defeat something that transforms, super strong, super fast, and has super hearing. It was like he was his own team superheroes, well villains. I felt my eyes grown heavy. I still wasn't completely well yet. "Go to bed, we'll let you know when figure out something." Edward said. I nodded and went upstairs obediently. I looked in Nessie's room and surprisingly she was still awake. "Jake." She called softly. "Yes Ness Bear." "Can we talk for a minute." I opened the door the rest of the way. I walked in and sat next to her on the bed. "What do you want to talk about sweetie.?" "About us." "Jake, I don't know how to say this..." She paused as I felt my heart sank. I know she just said that she was forever mine, but had she already rethought the idea of forever. No Nessie, wasn't fickle. "Jake, I think that maybe I'm too young for such a serious relationship. I think that maybe we should cool it for now." She said. Just a few hours ago she was all over me, and now she says too young. Talk about mix signals.
A gentle breeze floated through the window as her curtains swayed. That's odd, I think to myself. Nessie's has never slept with her window open. I jumped from the bed and rush to her nightstand and turn on the lamp. "Jake's what's wrong?" I hear her voice full of concern. As the light comes on I look at her bed and it is empty. "Nessie!" I scream for her but I don't hear a reply. The Cullens rush up the stairs and into her room. "What the hell is going on, Jake?" Edward asked frantically. "I don't know I was talking to her, and she was telling me she was too young for a serious relationship. I get up and turn on the light and the room is empty." Quickly we disperse and check the house, and she is no where to be found. "Bella you stay here and let me if she returns. As for everyone else we need to begin tracking." Edward orders and we all obey. I shift into my wolf form and I can hear the pack as they draw near. I order them to begin tracking. I know that time wasn't our friend right now.
Like always I want to know what you honestly think.
