Everything in the next hour felt like it was in slow motion. So many things were running through my head; what did Jake want? Was it Jake? Do mum and dad know? These were only some of many thoughts, but the one I wanted to know was how Alice got back at that moment. Was it luck or did she see a vision? It was hard to tell with Alice. Now she was in the kitchen running around like a headless chicken. She had carried me home, and I don't really like being carried, but I wasn't going to protest because Alice had that "don't mess with me" look on, so I figured I would go along with it.
God, I hope Nahuel is ok, because he's not as strong as Jasper. Or I feared that if it is Jake, then Nahuel could be...hurt. What would I do if he was? No, no, why did I fear for Nahuel's life? "Wait," I thought to myself, "do I..."
I never got to finish my thought because Jasper and Nahuel burst through the door. Alice went straight to Jasper as if they were like two half's of a whole person. Alice 's serious face softened to a loving one, but after she withdrew from him his embrace, her face turned serious again.
"Nessie, NESSIE." I looked up to see Alice in my face, "What were you thinking going into the forest, you know you're not allowed after the whole thing with," she paused and looked at Nahuel, "well you know what I'm talking about Nessie."
Nahuel stood up and walked to the sink and took a drink of water. He looked so calm and relaxed compared to the tense faces surrounding me, but I couldn't stop staring at him. Eventually he spoke, only to say to Alice it was his idea to go to the forest. Alice believed him, but she knew that I could have said no and I didn't so it was still some of my fault.
Alice spent the next hour telling me how Jake has changed since I left. He has been in wolf form and the wolf has taken over, and that it has the killer instincts to kill us and them. Jake is no longer in control. It took a lot of explaining, but I got it in the end. It was hard for me to understand that my childhood best friend was gone and replaced with a wolf that wanted me and my family dead. That's just great for a soon to be legally 18 years old girl who still won't be leaving her parents side.
Then Alice went on to tell me that Sam, the leader of the pack in La Push, wanted Jake to be captured because he thinks that the rest of the wolf can help stop Jake's wolf from taking control. She went on to tell me that the wolves are on their way here and that they're going to need us for bait to lure Jake in. I stopped listening after that, my mind was in a state of frenzy because I was dealing with all these new emotions: hurt, loss, love, anger. I got so overloaded that my head was starting to ache. Alice must have caught on because she sent me to bed. She said that I would need a good night's sleep, and that her and Jazz were going to keep me safe.
As I walked to my room, I slowed down near Nahuel's. He was sitting on his bed looking at his book, but as I walked passed he looked up and smiled. He actually smiled, and could feel myself smiling back. Wait, I smiled back. It was like I did it without realizing. I heard footsteps and all of the sudden Nahuel was behind me. I turned around and as I reached my door, he spoke first after a minute or so of silence.
"Nessie, you shouldn't have tried to do that. He could have killed you. Why wouldn't you listen to me?"
I looked him in the eyes as I spoke. "Nahuel, I didn't want Jake to hurt you, it was me he was after and I thought that if he got me then he would leave you and my family alone." Nahuel took a moment to think about what I said, but his reply shocked me. "Nessie by hurting you he would have been hurting us, and that hurt would never have gone away. Now I think bed is where you should be heading, "he said. He turned and walked into his room and shut the door. I took a shower, dried my hair, and threw myself on to the bed. I relaxed my muscles and slipped off into a dreamy sleep where I was met by Nahuel.
Yes, Nahuel, he smiled, walked over to me, and hugged me. We collapsed to the floor. It felt so real. His warm embrace around my body seemed to fit into his side as if we were molded for each other. We hugged like that through the whole dream. It didn't feel like a dream, but I didn't care. It was bliss and I was happy for once. I was in my happy place where no one could get me.
