for some reason i was really excited to write this chapter so enjoy and review!
I heard him take a breath before he began talking to me. "Renesmee come over to the other house now! Oh, and bring the dog with you." Before I could protest he hung up. I've never heard him this mad before.
"Jake, um we have to-"
"I heard" He still looked upset from before. Ugh, my head was spinning and there were so many things to think about that I was getting a huge headache.
"I- I'm sorry." I wasn't really sure what to say. "We should probably go."
"Yeah." He walked through the door and I walked out after him anticipating what my dad was about to say to me, or yell to me.
***
I sat on the couch and Jake stood in the corner. Everyone except for Alice and Jasper were sitting in the room frowning at me. Good thing Alice and Jasper were on vacation, two less people that were mad at me.
"So…"
"Renesmee I'm very, very disappointed." My dad finally said something, good thing he wasn't yelling, yet.
"Why?" My mom looked horrified. This was not going well. Everyone was still staring me down and I tried to keep my voice even though my face was getting really red and I could feel tears coming to my eyes.
"You told your friend about vampires! You know better then that! Do you realize-"
"Edward," My mom cut in, "Maybe she doesn't remember."
"It's possible that she might not be able to, after all she was very young." Grandpa said. This was so confusing. I tried to blink back my tears.
"Do you remember Nessie?" Emmett asked while staring at me intently.
"Remember what?"
"She doesn't remember." My mom sighed.
"Why did you tell your friend about vampires Nessie? You know that it's a secret." My dad's voice was raising and I looked desperately to Jacob for help.
"She didn't tell Amber. Amber figured it out Edward. She was attacked, and she saw us hunting."
"AND YOU DIDN'T SMELL HER?"
"Dad calm down!" The tears came despite my pathetic efforts. "I'm sorry! I really didn't smell her and I just had a lot on my mind and, I'm sorry!"
Then dad slowly turned to Jacob. "You told her about imprinting?!" His words were followed by a series of gasps from the rest of my family. Damn it, he read my mind. Is there anything I didn't do wrong?
"I can explain!" Jacob looked terrified.
"Dad what's the big deal?" I had yet to understand the concept of imprinting yet, it hasn't even begun to sink in.
"Edward forget about that for now. We have bigger problems." Grandpa tried to calm him down and I was grateful. My head was throbbing, and I didn't even know I could get headaches.
"Has Alice seen the Volturi?" Rosalie asked nervously.
"What is a Volturi?" I asked and then everyone glared at me again. After a second of silence everyone started talking at the same time and I couldn't make sense of it. Jacob shrunk back in the corner and my dad was comforting my mom. They all were talking so fast and I begun to get scared.
Rosalie's panicked voice rose above Carlisle's fake calm voice. "We could get killed!"
"Killed?" I squeaked. At this point I couldn't be sure if they were talking about the imprinting or whatever the hell a Volturi was.
"EVERYONE BE QUIET!" Carlisle yelled, and immediately everyone was silent.
"Nessie go to your room, your grounded until further notice." My dad said sternly. Grounded? Did I really do anything that would cause death?
I got up and walked slowly out the door heading to the cottage. I tried to stop the tears but they kept coming.
***
I sat in my room ashamed and still upset. I was such a baby. I wasn't exactly sure how much time had passed since I got here but it felt like an eternity. My head was swimming.
Volturi, Amber, Jacob, Dad, Imprinting, grounded, other vampires in Forks, moving, death…
I wish I could make sense of even one of the things going through my head. Just then there was a knock on my window. I ran over to it and there was Jake, standing there looking very stressed. I opened the window.
"Can I come in for a second?"
"My dad didn't ban you from me forever?"
"No, he did. But I really need to talk to you." He climbed through the window, and hugged me tightly.
"Jake what's going on?" I whispered.
"Do you remember when you were little and a bunch of your family's friends came to visit?"
"I think so." I tried to jog my memory, I do remember a little bit. We all gathered in the woods with other people. "I remember being a little scared I think."
"Exactly, Nessie. Those other vampires that were family friends weren't coming for a visit, they were coming to save your family's and your life."
"What?"
"The Volturi are like the law makers or something for vampires. We found out that… That it was illegal to have a half human and half vampire kid."
"That's why everyone was going to be killed?"
"Yeah." Some memories were flooding back, I think. I placed my hand on Jacob's cheek and showed him a picture of a huge crowd of people in the woods and my mom's face looked like she was about to cry. "You remember."
"No I don't. That's about it Jake. I don't remember why-" I bit my tongue. I was afraid I was going to cry again.
"That's okay. Carlisle and I were the only one who thought you wouldn't remember. After all, your were just a baby." His voice was almost a whisper now. "But I think your family has a bad reputation with them now, and Amber knows that you're a vampire."
"So now they're going to kill us?" My voice was high pitched. I didn't know how to take this news. I'm such an idiot for not remembering. I shouldn't have even let Amber come to my house. This was all my fault and now we're all going to die because of me. The stupid tears came back again.
"Not nessaccarily." I could tell he was really down playing this whole situation. He wiped the tears from my eyes and my heart sped up.
"What do you mean?"
"Well I think she's going to have to become a vampire."
"No! She can't! We can't just take her away from her life!"
"That or death for her and us."
"No! This all my fault!"
"No it's not. You didn't know-"
"I should have!" I sobbed into his chest. Oh great now his shirt is probably going to be ruined. IS THERE ANYTHING I DON'T MESS UP?
"Shhhh, Nessie calm down. Your dad and Carlisle are talking about the options right now."
"But, but it doesn't change anything! I'm so stupid!"
"No, no your not…" I was so mad at myself I couldn't even express how I felt. I was still just a confused, stupid little girl who just might cause the death of her entire family.
***
We stood there for a long time. I was still in Jacob's arms and he didn't seem to mind. I eventually slowed down with the crying. I could tell he wanted to comfort me but there was nothing he could say, and he knew that. I knew that.
I guess Amber would have to become a vampire. Because of my foolishness she would be taken from her life and enter a newer, more violent one. I'm horrible. Dread washed through me and I closed my eyes and wished that somehow she could forget about the whole thing. I can't believe earlier this week my main problem was our crushes on Jacob Black. Things changed so much that my aching head didn't even want to think anymore.
I opened my eyes and looked up at Jacob to make sure he was okay. He looked back at me and I couldn't read his expression. He bent down slowly and…kissed me.
My stomach filled with butterflies. No doubt I was a mess, emotionally and physically. Why would he want to kiss me?
The kiss lasted about ten seconds before he pulled away from me. "Calm down Ness." He could probably hear my heart.
"What was that for?"
"Just incase I never get the chance."
"W-"
"Your dad is coming. Everything will be okay, I promise." He climbed outside and then he was gone.
I leaned back against the wall a little bit light headed. Wow. So Jake said incase he never got to, but then he says everything will be okay?
That brings me right back to where I was, facing the problem of the Volturi.
"Nessie let me in!" I was still leaning against my wall. I hope I wasn't going to get yelled at again. "Nessie!" I slowly walked toward the door with my hands sweating, I wasn't exactly the most put together person right now.
I opened the door and my dad walked in. "Nessie, I'm sorry that I yelled at you." I remained silent. "But the Volturi are-"
"I know dad."
"You remembered?"
"Uh, yeah…"
"Tell me the truth."
"I remembered ok?"
"Alright… Nessie I don't know if you figured this out, but Amber is going to have to become a vampire." He sighed a sigh of disappointment, disappointment in me. Amber might not have to become a vampire, she never actually said what she thought I was, and nobody in high school believes in werewolves.
Review people, it only takes like 2 seconds :):):)
