Chapter 5

Her breath is icy cold on my neck. "Jake!" I manage to scream. There is no reply. I can no longer her them fighting. A tear slowly rolls down my cheek as she pierces my skin. It begins to burn immediately. This is what those poor defenseless creatures feel, when we drain them of life. She continues feeding, my life force slowly draining. " Enough!" A voice shrills and she let's go. The pain immobilizes me as the venom begins to enter my veins. "Suck the venom, out now!" She demands. Reluctantly the red-head complies with the orders. As he removes the venom, my vision goes black.

Hours later, I wake up. "Jake!" I scream as I hear machines going haywire. "Shhh, baby girl." His husky voice is soothing as he comes stands besides me and holds my hand. At his touch, I break down. "Oh God, Jake. I thought I lost you." I cry. "Baby girl,it will take more than a couple of blood suckers to hurt me." He sits down beside me and takes me into his arms. Looking up at him, I kiss him with all the passion burning inside. "I'm sorry." I choke out as we pull apart. "For what angel?" "For leaving. I should never of left. I wanted to protect y'all and all it did was almost get you killed." Jake falls silents , not knowing what to say.

Just then the door burst open and Grandpa Carlisle, mom, and dad come rushing in. "Nessie baby!" They squeal as they hug me. "Can't breathe." I choke out. "Oh. So how are you feelin'?" my dad ask. "Good." "You had us worry sick. How dare you pull a stunt like that." My mom says anger flaring in every word. "I had to. I couldn't let Joham, hurt y'all. I couldn't bare to watch y'all burn, like in my vision." "oh sweetie, we're not going to burn. We are going to live forever like you and Jake." She assures me. "You promise?" "Promise. Now can we take you home?" "No, if it is okay with Tanya, I want her to rest a bit more." Carlisle chimes in and then disappears out the door.

A week later I am back home, and Jake refuses to leave my side. He is afraid that I will leave again. Right now I can't leave if I wouldn't too I am under house arrest. Courtesy of Grandpa Charlie, I have a beautiful ankle bracelet to accessorize with every outfit. "How does it feel to be back?" "Great, especially with you by my side." "I'm not going anywhere, and you better not either." Jake says as he tickles me. "Stop. Stop. Stop." I choke out between laughs. As he stops, leans over and kisses me. The sparks are less intense. "Stop it mutt." My dad growls from the doorway. Quickly we separate and move to opposite ends of the bed. "Hey baby girl, how are you feeling?" He ask as he sits down between us. "Um Jake, can you excuse us for a moment, and no inapporiate thoughts."

Jake leaves the room. Though he is on the other side of the door, I already miss him greatly. "Listen me and your mother were talkin and we have agreed it is time that it is time for you to resume a normal life. Tomorrow we will return to school. If anyone ask we went to visit our very sick Uncle Charlie, and he is doing great now." "Okay dad, but how do we explain the lovely ankle bracelet." "We'll remove it tomorrow. Uncle Emmett will rip it off tomorrow." He says as he kisses me on the forehead. "I love you princess." "I love you too," Then just like that he is gone again.

Jake enters the room and sits down beside me. " So we're going back to school tomorrow?" "Yep." I reply as I glance at my alarm clock. It is already 10:00 pm. "I guess we better get some sleep." I say as I kiss him good night. The kiss is beginning to turn into that magical night in Canada, but the feeling isn't quite the same. I know this must stop, because Uncle Emmett and daddy will rip him to shreds. "Jake! Cold shower now, mutt!" My dad yells as he yanks him off me. I am so embarrass. Jake stalks out the room in defeat. "Go to sleep sweetie." My dad snarls as he stalks out after Jake. "Mutt! We need to talk now! Just you, me, and Emmett!" He yells. "Oh no!" I scream mentally as I tear the covers from my body. I rush into the hallway to see Jake pinned against the wall by Uncle Emmett. "Stop it!" I scream loudly, but the ignore me. "Dad! Uncle Emmett!" I continue to scream. At my screams the rest of my family rush up the stairs.
