Chapter 3
"Hours have passed and she has yet to regain consciousness." An unfamiliar voice says as I begin to stir. Opening my eyes, I begin to look around. The room is so familiar. Across the room is a three-shelved bookcases packed with wolves and the bed is by the window, so the sun can gently warm my face when I wake. I swear if this room was large it would be mine. Climbing I out of bed, I steady myself and then exit the room. I have to thank my saviour.
With each step I take, I can feel my entire body still throbbing. It is protesting against me walking. "I am going to check her." A gentle female says. It sounds a lot like Grandma Esmee, but I know it can't be because she is more than 6, 000 miles away. At the end of the hallway is a white staircase, just like at my house. I am about to descend, when I see someone making their way up them. Stumbling backwards, I turn around and sprint quietly back to the room. Quickly raising the window, I jump out onto the frozen ground, and begin running. I have to disappear deep into the woods. He must never find me. "No!" I hear him scream, now in a masculine voice. It is Joham, and he is taking the form of my family. "That vile creature saved me." I mumble to myself in disbelief. Something tells me this won't be the last run in I will have with him before I reach Alaska.
Darkness now begins to fall and so does the temperature. With it quickly falling to sub-zero temperatures I am forced to stop and make camp. I quickly gather wood and make a fire. It is important that I stay warm, especially after suffering from hypothermia. As the fire begins to warm me, my eyes grow heavy and I drift of to sleep. As I sleep, my peaceful dream of Jake turns into a nightmare. I am at the lake watching my body go limp and begin to sink. Across the lake Joham begins to sprint toward me, his golden eyes wide with fear. "Don't give up Renesmee!" He yells, mimicking my father's voice. As he reaches me the scene goes black and when the color returns, we are at the house. Quickly, he disrobes and throws blankets over me, to get me warm. "My sweet, when you are well we will begin our family. You will love our life together, but right now rest." He says as he kisses my forehead and leaves. A couple of hours he returns and removes the blanket and looks me over. His golden eyes are filled with excitement. He lowers his head to the crest of my neck and takes a deep breath. "My sweet, you are so intoxicating." He says in a sweet seductive voice. Slowly a smile creeps across his marble face, as his hand creeps closer to me.
"No!" I scream as I jolt awake. My heart is beating rapidly and my stomach is churning. The sun is now beginning to rise and I must begin my trek to Alaska. Waiting for my nausea to alleviate, I lay curled into a ball daydreaming of Jake. I wish my big protective werewolf was here to keep me warm. I get up to put out the fire when I hear this loud howl. It is Jake he has discovered my scent. I thought I was doing a great job at evading them. I was wrong. I quickly begin sprinting as I listen to his howls growing closer. In them is a hint of exhaustion. About five miles away from my camp, I hear a dreadful sound. Jake's howl is weak and I can tell he pass out due to exhaustion. His poor body won't hold out much longer. Stopping in my tracks, I contemplate whether or not to return. This could be a trap. Joham could be luring me back.
It is hard to tell whether or not this is a trick, but I can't afford to take the chance. I can't chance Jake's life. I turn around and begin sprinting back. The air is icy as it fly pass my face. I can smell Jake's scent, and it has never smelled so good. "Jake I'm coming!" I scream as loud as I can. His smell begins to intensify as I draw closer. My heart now is fluttering with excitement, as I am about to see the love of my life again. From a distance, I see a large person, lying naked under a large evergreen tree. "No!" I scream as I pick up pace. With temperatures being this cold, werewolf or not, he will freeze death in a matter of hours. I rush to his side and pick up his head. His eyes are close and his breathing is labored. I am terrified. "Come on Jake don't give up on me." I plead as I gently kiss his soft lips. Laying his head softly back on the ground, I run back into the woods to find wood. I must get Jake warm.
In the woods, I can feel someone watching me. Their eyes burrowing deep in me, I am uneasy. I quickly gather the wood and rush back to start the fire. After the fire is roaring good, I sit by Jake and wrap my arms around him. I am trying to use my body heat to help warm him. Crunch. I hear the subtle crunching of snow as someone slowly walks towards us. My watery dart upwards to see his tall slender body stalking towards us. "I see the family pet isn't well." He smirks as his smile widens. He is somewhat enjoying this. "Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry that you're pet is sick. Let me help put him out of his misery." Joham says as he crouches down in a defensive position.
Let me know what you think. Is this more exciting than New Moon?
