Wow, so many reviews in one day :D
I was so impressed I just had to update sooner.

Enjoy.

So how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Chapter 18 - Numb.

"It's Renesmee." I shut the phone as soon as her piercing cry for help filled the room, Emmett was on one side retraining her left arm and leg while Jasper was on the other side restraining her right arm and leg, they ran with the gurney as Carlisle charged into the prepped operating room. The blood was being soaked by the white hospital sheets, I ignored it, and I knew everyone was trying to keep their breathing minimal, but her blood was like flowers, so sweet, she didn't present a meal at all.

"It's burning!" She cried and her back arched in pain. Bella was standing next to me, shocked and speechless, she just stared, unable to form a rational sentence.

"We need some help in here!" Carlisle screamed and two nurses came rushing in. The room was big and oval, with mirrors hanging from the ceiling and monitors ready to go. There was a wash station located at the east of the room and on the west was a post where people could call for help. "We need to pump her with sixty-five mills of Pentothal, now." The nurses scurried around the room, one of them handed me the anaesthetic which I plugged into the IV fluid bag now attached to her arm.

Carlisle had to turn her over onto her stomach so he could take a look at the stab marks. A human would look at it and say that it was an ordinary stabbing, but you could see the traces of the weapon that surrounded it.

This was no ordinary stabbing.

Her heart rate monitor was beeping loudly over the noises of Carlisle's calls and her cries that were slowly fading as the anaesthesia set in. I couldn't bring myself to focus, here was my baby, lying on a gurney, brutally injured, and I couldn't focus!

"Daddy!" She screamed as Carlisle injected her with something, a pale pink fluid, her back arched again and her head turned to face me, her eyes distraught with pain. The nurses came around then and started cleaning the wounds, I shooed them away, they wouldn't know how to clean these sorts of wounds.

"Alice, get me some Penicillin and Hydrosulfuric acid." I called out to Alice who was just as dazed as Bella. As soon as I called her name she snapped out of it, dashing out of the room to find the supplies that I needed. "Rose, I need swabs. NOW" The room seemed to darken tremendously with the added pressure and tension.

I knew she was losing too much blood. Too fast.

I took the motorcycle, speeding down the highway, trying to get there as fast as I could, yet the tires wouldn't go fast enough for me. I wanted to be next to her, holding her hand, telling her it was alright. I wanted to see her face and tell her that she was beautiful.

Edwards panicked voice kept playing in my head, it's Renesmee, over and over again, I couldn't take it anymore, my head was going to combust if I didn't see that she was okay.

As soon as I got to the hospital, I started running, I didn't care if something happened to my bike, I didn't care that it was pouring rain right now, I just ran straight into the emergency room.

I found the reception desk where I hastily asked for Carlisle and she told me to go straight down the hall. I found Alice who just stood there, shaking her head with Jaspers arms around her, her eyes were puffed as though she had been crying, if that were possible.

I found Emmett next, he was sitting next to Edward who sat crouched over with his head in his hands, Bella was nowhere in sight. Standing next to him was someone unfamiliar, a vampire no less, but one that I'd never met, I didn't bother.

"Edward, where is she? Is she okay? What happened?" The questions toppled over each other as he looked up at me; he had that look, the look I'd only ever seen once, the burning man. I felt a familiar cold touch to my shoulder and I turned to see Carlisle behind me with anguished eyes.

"Jacob, I think we better step into my office." He said, and motioned for me to follow him, why would nobody answer my questions. I stepped into his office then, there was a big white desk located at the back with a large window behind it, there were two hospital beds in there as well.

"Okay, Doc, answer my question, what happened?" I was getting irritated with the silence. He sighed before he answered.

"We just finished up in the O.R. She's stable and in intensive care for now, she was stabbed five times, though nothing was punctured in the attack," Oh god, attack. "She still has a minimal chance of recovery."

"What do you mean stabbed? That's impossible." It was, she had vampire skin, impenetrable skin, she couldn't have been stabbed.

"Not entirely, long ago, before I was turned or even born for that matter, there was a weapon that vampire hunters used for staking vampires, it was a specially crafted dagger that contained Adamantite ore coated with Rubium metal" Somebody knew Ness was half vampire, it was deliberate, "Hunters used them because they believed vampires were the reason that woman could not successfully carry an unborn child in their womb." He turned his back to me, but his reflection was clear through the window.

"You didn't think to tell me this?" I asked outraged. Didn't they think that the Alpha should know crucial details such as this.

"Well it wasn't important till now. The Volturi have had all but four of these weapons destroyed. Three of which hang above them in their parlour and one which has not been found yet." He looked out the window as though he were searching for some mysterious answer in the clouds.

"So this one person, with this one dagger has come and attacked Ness?" My voice was barely a whisper, I couldn't bring myself to believe this. Why would someone purposely attack her.

"We believe so, yes, when we were cleaning the wounds we found traces of the metals." He said, he was holding back something.

"Doc, don't sugar coat this, just tell me." I said, my voice was not sharp or angry, it was tinted with guilt, I had not been there to protect her.

"Well, the weapon has to burn through the vampire skin to actually pierce it, which is what the Rubium is used for." He said in a low murmur as though he were talking to himself. They burnt her.

"How did you find her?" I asked, all that time, while she was being attacked, I was sitting on my porch, doing nothing.

"Well we didn't, it was Damien who brought her in, the vampire standing outside." He turned around then to look at me.

"A vampire, a fucking vampire brought her in?" I started to raise my voice, and he was just standing there next to Edward like everything was alright. That bastard probably did it, he attacked her and they're not doing anything about him.

"Jacob, calm down, if he had done it, he wouldn't have brought her in." He stated. That's such a load of crap. I stormed out of the room, I wanted to talk to this bastard myself. There he was, chatting away to Emmett, looking as rugged as if he were sleeping outside.

I grabbed him violently by the shoulders and pushed him against the wall, my forearm at his throat while Emmett tried to get in between.

"What the fuck did you do bloodsucker?" I screamed at him, the nurses looked at me as if I had lost my mind, I didn't give a shit. He looked back at me with his golden eyes-- wait golden eyes?

"I didn't do anything, I found her screaming, before I could catch the guy, he was off, I had to choose between saving her and chasing after him." He said calmly, he didn't resist my forearm, he just stood against the all like we were having a civilised chat.

"Yeah right, you fucking asshole." I yelled, Emmett grabbed a hold of my arm and shoved me aside. I lost my grip on Damien, I thought the name with revulsion.

"Dude, get a grip, this guy saved your girls life." Emmett said in my direction.

"Your girl?" Damien questioned surprisingly. What did he think, that he could save her and then win her over.

"Yes, my girl." I sneered at him. Emmett just sighed and sat down on the white metal bench provided as Damien straightened his whole demeanour. After a long silence, he spoke up.

"Look man, I'm sorry." He said it like we were friends.

"I don't need your apologies, bloodsucker" I warned, he rolled his eyes at me and looked away.

"Damien, where are you staying?" Carlisle asked from behind me, he had emerged from his office finally.

"I'm just roughing it." He said proudly, as though that were something to be proud of.

"Please, you are welcome to stay at our house, you saved my granddaughters life and we are in your debt." Debt? We aren't in his debt, he probably did it.

Edward got up then and looked at me, gesturing for me to follow him, he walked swiftly out the double doors of the emergency rooms. I followed, glad to be out of the tense atmosphere in there, I inhaled a sigh of relief as the fresh air hit my lungs.

"I cannot read his mind." Edward stated.

"What do you mean? Why?" I asked, lividly, so we really didn't have a clue whether he did it or not, we were going on assumptions.

"Yes, you are right. I think he is a shield, like Bella, so his mind is completely closed off from me." He sat down on the low stony wall and put his head back in his hands, shaking his head back and forth with the implausible situation at hand.

"So he could've done it?" I asked, I started pacing slowly, trying to work this out in my head, something clicked in my brain, that was the vampire that the pack tried to hunt down. "Fuck!" I swore, if I had caught him that night, this could've been prevented.

"Jacob, there is nothing we can do now, we don't know whether it was Damien who did this or if he is telling the truth, but if you look at it logically, why would he bring her in if he did it?" As much as it pained me to say it but Edward was right.

"I don't trust him." I stated, nothing was going to change my mind about that.

"Neither do I, but we need to keep him close, just in case he knows something." He said and got up from the wall. He started walking back into the hospital and I didn't want to follow just yet so I sat down in his former spot and tried to piece it together.

Damien 'found' Ness screaming-- I inwardly flinched at the two words put together-- he saw the assailant run, and didn't pursue because he was occupied with saving Ness, his diet is animal blood, from his eye colour, so he's like the Cullen's. I thought for a moment that he could be part of the Denali clan but then shooed the thought away, Edward would've said something.

He 'roughs' it out as he goes, so he's alone most probably, it doesn't add up, why would he attack Ness? My head tried to find reasons behind it and it couldn't, there's absolutely no incentive, nothing.

He couldn't have done it, even though I so badly wanted that to be false so I could rip his head off. I wanted to murder the son-of-a-bitch who did this to her.

It was at least an hour, maybe two that I was contemplating all the possibilities in my head, all the things I could've done to prevent it and all the things I didn't do. That's when I decided to get up and walk inside to face them.

They were all standing in the same positions when I entered than when I'd left them, I walked straight past them to Carlisles office.

"Let me see her." I said as I stormed in. I needed to see her now.

"I was just about to come get you, the nurse said her heartbeat has steadied." He said optimistically, obviously her condition had improved. He lead me out of his office and into the intensive care room, she was alone in there with a vacant bed next to her. "I'll leave you to it." He said and walked out.

"Hey baby..." I said as cheerful as I could manage, though my voice came out saddened. Her face was perfect, just like I'd last seen it, her creamy ivory skin still the same, with a hint of colour on her cheeks. You couldn't even tell she'd been hurt.

"Baby, Can you hear me?" I know it was stupid to ask, she wouldn't respond.

"I missed you, I miss your kisses and that electric shock you send through me when you touch me, can you open your eyes for me, baby?" She just lay there still and silent.

"I need you, wake up for me." My voice was started to become rough, I was never one for tears but seeing her like this, I just couldn't help it. I laid my forehead against her arm and breathed in her scent, she didn't smell like lavender or freesia like she usually did, she smelled like disinfectant and soap. It didn't look like she was going to wake up so I just closed my eyes and pretended for a while that this was all just a nightmare.

"I'll leave you to it." I heard a familiar male voice say, it sounded like grandpa Carlisle. I tried to move my arms but they were stiff, my body felt numb.

"Hey baby..." Came the most beautiful voice I'd ever heard, so strong and husky, it was like music to my ears. I wanted to reach out and hold his hand, to feel his skin.

"Baby, can you hear me?" His voice was saddened, he didn't sound himself.

"I missed you, I miss your kisses and that electric shock you send through me when you touch me, can you open your eyes for me, baby?" Yes, I want to, I'm trying Jake, my eyes felt so heavy, they didn't want to follow my commands, they stayed shut. I tried to open my mouth, to talk, to say anything, but it wasn't working.

"I need you, wake up for me." I want to wake up Jacob, it won't let me. I felt his hot forehead against the bare skin of my arm and that soothed me for now. I could feel his hair tickling my skin, I wanted to laugh, I wanted to express an emotion, any emotion at all, to tell Jacob I could hear him. To tell him that I was okay.

His touch was fading, but I knew it was there, it's like when you take aspirin for pain, and then slowly it fades, but you know that it's still there just muted, that's what was happening. I couldn't feel him anymore, I felt cold and numb. I could hear whispers but it's like something was clogging my ears.

I felt the pale yellow light that shone through my eyelids start turning black, slowly inch by inch the light disappeared. I felt the pull of something under me, something was trying to drag me away, I didn't want to surrender, to give in to the darkness, but its hold was so strong, it offered peace, but it didn't have Jacob.

The pull was stronger now, forcing me under the unconscious stream of darkness and before I knew it I was surrendering.

The warmth of her skin started fading dully, I saw the heat rush from her cheeks, revealing this unknown pale creature. Carlisle burst in the room then, nurses following behind, I didn't know what was going on, she looked as peaceful as ever.

In a matter of seconds she started writhing uncontrollable on the bed like something had possessed her, Carlisle shoved me out of the way, pushing me to the side while he hovered over her, checking her heart beat and trying to keep her from moving.

"She's going into cardiac arrest, I need a crash cart." Carlisle called out to one of the nurses who frantically rushed to get one, she rushed back with the cart, careful not to drop anything on the way back. Ness fell limp then and her heart stopped. The nurse instinctively handed him the defibrillator and he took both the metal handles. "Charge it to 200." He yelled and the nurse did as she was ordered.

He rubbed the two together, trying to spread the electricity evenly before pressing it to her chest, "Clear." He said and her chest rose and fell with the electricity pumping through her being. I couldn't watch, I didn't want to watch. I turned my head slightly, hearing Carlisle call "250" and then saying "Clear." over and over, the amount of volts increasing each time was excruciating because her heart wasn't beating. It didn't want to start.

At that point the voices stopped, and the room was silent.

There was nothing.

Oooooh, what will happen next ?
