Chapter 24: This is the new me?
Nessie POV
The feeling of cold air was blowing through my hair. I was moving fast, very fast. Much more faster than I thought possible. But I wasn't running, I was being carried. The musky scent was stronger here, crap. I opened my eyes to see Josh. He was still human and running fast. The pain had subsided a tad but still there. My body felt to weak to fight him so I let him take me.
I must have fallen asleep because when I awoke I was in a room lying on a bed. Sun was shinning through the window and warming my face. Wait sun, it was never sunny in forks. I pushed my self up and scanned the room. It had a wardrobe, a vanity and a bed. This was a room I hadn't seen before. I looked down at my body, these were not the clothes I was wearing. Instead I was dressed in a small tank which showed my stomach and a pair of sweats. Okay I must be dreaming.
I stood up, wait did I get taller. Okay I must be dreaming. I walked over to the window and pulled the curtain away. I was greeted by bright sunlight which hurt my eyes. Once I got used to this what I saw scarred me. It wasn't the luscious greenery that I was used to it was bright and not a forest in sight. I must be dreaming. I was brought back to reality by a knocking at the door.
"come in" I said in a quiet voice. The door opened. I expected to see Alice or Rosalie instead a red haired girl came in. She was the same size as me maybe taller, her hair was a bright, unnatural shade of red.
"did you sleep well" she asked. Her voice was low and her head was facing down.
"I guess so." was all I could reply. She looked at me this time. Wait a minute she was the girl from my music class. What was her name.
"good. You probably don't remember me but my name is Natalie Cooper" she said holding out her hand. That was it miss Cooper.
"yeah you were from my music class" I replied stepping back. She immediately dropped her hand. Her face became confused. I didn't like this, why was she here, why was I here, wait where was I? All these unanswered questions God I wish daddy was here. Wait daddy why wasn't he here.
"where are my family" I asked a little harsher than she needed. Her face lost the confusion and became shocked and slightly disgusted.
"there not here" she replied in a dark tone. Fear washed through me. Where were they? Where was I?.
"okay then tell me where they are so I can go find them" I replied trying to hold back tears. I could feel them building in my eyes. She was about to reply when another girl came through the door. This girl had pitch black hair, her skin was slightly tanned. Her face was intimidating and hard. She had a scar just under her left eye.
"she said they weren't here" her tone was unfriendly and hostile. I didn't like this girl. I said nothing more and pushed passed Natalie. I almost reached the door but this girl stood in my way.
"get the hell out of my way" I screamed in her face. She didn't even flinch instead she grabbed hold of my arm and threw me backwards. I hit the back wall with a loud bang. As I collided with the floor I banged my head.
"Alex what the hell was that. Josh said we weren't to hurt her" I heard Natalie scream. That was the last thing I heard before my eyes shut.
I could feel someone stroking my hair. My eyes were fluttering open slowly. I moved my head to the left. Ow that sure as hell hurt.
"you might not want to do that" the voice said and continued stroking my hair. This voice was low, it sounded like a boy. A young boy. I ignored his comment and pushed myself up. The room around me started spinning.
"see. I told you" the voice continued. Instead of beside me he was in front of me. This boy looked no older than 15. He had long brown hair, and a cute face. His eyes were a muddy brown.
"my name is Daniel" he whispered looking down. I couldn't understand what was going on. I was in the same room but now the sun had gone and the room was lit with a small lamp.
"how long have I been asleep" I asked looking at Daniel.
"from about 10am to 9pm" he said with a small chuckle. "but you weren't really asleep, more unconscious" he continued. I was about to ask where I was when the door opened. Daniel scampered off to the left leaving me a good view of the man standing in the doorway. He was stood in the shadows so I couldn't see his face. I turned my head towards Daniel, who was now stood up straight and looking at the man. I decided to turn my attention back around and focus on the man.
"where am I" I asked the man. He didn't say anything. "I said where am I" I continued a little louder. Still nothing. "fine if you will excuse me I shall be leaving" I shouted and I stood to leave. The man instantly was at my side, it gave me a shock that I stumbled backwards. He was now in the light and I could see his face. Brilliant. Josh. Why couldn't he just go die somewhere. I shook my head furiously and stood up, so that I was facing him.
"I cant allow you to leave just yet" he replied. I was about to retaliate but he continued. "you are not ready to be among humans and your family just yet" I couldn't understand this.
"care to explain why" I asked not bothering to hide my frustration.
"it was an accident, I didn't mean to inject the venom into your body. But once I did there was no going back. Once the moon was up we felt you beginning to change so we decided to come and see" he said still looking at me.
"so what I am a werewolf" I asked sitting back down on the bed. I couldn't believe this. Most teenagers get acne or bullied as a teen. But no it wasn't bad enough that I was half-vampire now I am a God damn werewolf. What's next a witch.
"that's the problem, we don't know" he stated sitting next to me. Great so I wasn't one, but if not then what the hell am I. A thought occurred to me, my family. What happened to them.
"my family. What happened to them" I asked not knowing if I wanted the answer. He looked at me a moment before sighing.
"when we arrived at your house you were already beginning to change. We knew that they would protect you and that we had to get you. Normally we like to fight vampires, but right then getting you away was our priority. We tried our hardest not to fight them but in order to get you we had to" he replied still looking at me.
"did you kill them" I asked with tears building up in my eyes.
"no. Even if we wanted to we couldn't" he replied looking away. A sea of relief washed over m body, but why couldn't they. I didn't know if I wanted to know why not.
"well like your friends, we are a pack. We stick together, if someone in the pack was to feel pain then we all would" he continued still looking down. "you see you are part of this pack now, whether you like it or not. And hurting your family would cause you pain and in turn cause us pain too" he went on. I was happy that my family were not dead, but frightened when he said that I was part of his pack.
"oh, but you said I wasn't a werewolf. So how am I part of your pack" I countered.
"when we got you away from your family, you stopped changing. I as the leader have control over whether you change or not" he said looking at the door.
"so you can only control me" I stated back.
"no it's the entire pack. Once I had you far enough away, I stopped. None of us could understand what you were. We all knew that you were a half-vampire but it just didn't make sense…." he continued on, babbling away to himself.
"so what now" I asked in a small voice. In truth I was scared very scared.
"there is no way to find out what you are until the next full moon. Which is in one week" he replied looking at my face. "I cant allow you to leave in case something happens. If I allow you to go home you may kill your family and your friends" he continued. That was the last thing I wanted. Could I really be that dangerous towards my own family. I didn't know, so I guess I will stay here for the next week.
"I will stay but only until the next full moon" I stated standing up. I really didn't want to. Not after everything he put me through, but my families safety was more important than whether or not I wanted to.
"great, so would you like to meet the others" he asked, his eyes lit up with joy and hope. I nodded my head slowly. This was sure to be a interesting week.
