Chapter 20

Importune

Renesme began baring her teeth at Edward's stance. Edward did as well.

I started walking farther and farther back. What was happening to Nessie? Was she actually turning into a ravenous newborn. She looked the part. Her eyes were the deep crimson red; staring deeply into me, her next meal. She was ready to punce at any moment, and Edward was protecting me, but would he harm his only daughter? His other meaning to eternity love.

A sudden movement from the near off bush caught Nessie off guard and Edward swooped me up as if we were about to get married and he ran off with me.

Nessie retorted quickly and she started running with her newborn running endurance towards us and she caught Edward off guard.

My frozen heart was full of fear and anguish.

Renesme wanted to make me her next meal. And I feared more for her life, not mine.

I was her mother, her protector, her caretaker, her best friend, her mentor. I could not fight her or bare to watch her be shred from limb to limb. I just couldn't. She is my daughter, I would do anything to protect her.

Nessie was nearing closer into my proximity and still, Edward was ready to pounce. Would he really pounce on our daughter?

"Nessie, sweetie. Please calm yourself." Edward's velvet voice said swaying through the air. The potentialness of fear was clear in his perfect voice. "Please."

This did not work as Edward might had planned.

This only made Nessie stalk closer and closer to us; I felt my inner anger come out and I growled.

Edward repeated and Nessie did following Edward.

"Please." Edward begged once again. Worry settling in his perfect features.

"It's my nature, you are my adversery." Nessie snarled between her peircing lips.

"Nessie! Think! It's me, you're mother and father!" I pleaded.

"Sure, sure." Renesme grinned evily and started pacing even faster now.

I noticed that Richard was not here no more, where was he?

"He is gone home. Abi drove him and her home." Edward answered my question, realizing my shiled was off. "Bella, love. Stop panicking we will get to her, and I promise, I won't let anything happen to you."

Nessie snorted a laugh and she barged toward's us. My panicking self leapt infront of Edward, but was pushed aside immediately.

"Edward, run! She wants me! Save yourself!" I yelled as I pushed him to go along.

Edward retorted and he lifted me on his back, and ran.

Nessie followed at a faster pace then us.

I looked behind us and she was approaching closer and closer.

Suddenly, I flew off of Edward's comfoting shoulders and onto the ground.

"Umph." I moaned as I hit the ground hard.

I looked up to see Edward staring at the brick house Nahuel had taken me too earlier.

Edward looked very confused until he saw Nahuel step out of the creecky door.

"Bella! How is Renesme?" Nahuel asked and then he looked startled by Edward's and I bewildering expressions. "Where is she?"

"She is coming, she is like a rabid new born, wanting revenge. Except that revenge is on me." I answered.

"What? She changed already? We have to stop her! We have to! Where is the the belonging's I had accostumed to you earlier?"

"I..I dropped them. How do we stop her. She is nearing us at any moment." I replied dumbstruck.

"Why? I told you to keep them!" Nahuel snarled venomously.

Edward growled at him and Nahuel backed off.

"How do we stop her?" Edward said surprisingly politely.

"Well, there is only one way now." Nahuel informed.

"What is it?" I replied instantaneously.

"She has to be calmed by her only true love in life." Nahuel answered.

"Well, Edward, come on. We need to find Richard." I gestured for us to run farther from Nessie, to the road and find Abi and Richard.

"No, no. I do not think Nahuel is refurring to him." Edward said.

I looked at him confused.

"Bella, you know who she alway's truly loved. No boyfriend of her's would ever have the same love and affection Nessie has given to-"

"Edward, you mean that jerk is her only love?" I blistered in frustration and I sighed.

Renesme's unhappy stomps of approaching footsteps made me more and more excited to go and find him.

But where would he be?

Would that one love still love her?
