Chapter 6: As if yesterday wasn't overwhelming enough.
I had a hard time falling asleep, overwhelmed by all the events of the day, but even more so, by the increasing and new feelings that I was having about my Jacob. My Jacob, it sounded so wonderful. It had always been true, but it has intensified so much today, that it was as if we had both been reborn into new people.
I couldn't get him out of my mind as I fell asleep. First remembering the joy and relief that I felt when he did not rejected me when I showed him I wanted him to kiss me. I also just kept seeing his dark eyes, his russet skin, his spiky black hair. I kept remembering the feelings I experienced as he held me, as he kissed me.
After I ran through the memories of this day, I started having thoughts of the future that I wanted with him. He may want to take things slow, out of some residual over protectiveness from having known me since I was born, or out of sense of duty or obligation to my parents, but I wanted all of him and I wanted him now. I imagined Jacob caressing my body, all of my body- my back, my breasts, my legs, my core. I imagined touching him all over his body, kissing him- his cheeks, lingering on his mouth, moving down his neck, across his broad shoulders, down the rippling muscles of his chest, his stomach, then stopping, teasing him, turning to kiss him up his legs, to his strong thighs, then kissing and stroking his massive cock.
At sometime during my thoughts, I must have fallen asleep. As I awoke, I felt the heat of the sun on my back. Somewhat disoriented, I wasn't sure if all of yesterday was a dream, or if just some parts of it were. Feeling stiff from having laid in bed too long, I stretched, got up, and made my way into the shower to prepare for another day of school at the Vampire Academy, and to see Jacob, so I could clear up how much of yesterday was real, and how much was my overly horny imagination.
I quickly dried myself off, and got dressed in black jean shorts and celery green ribbed tank top. I opened the door of my room, entered the hallway, and made my way into the kitchen to have breakfast. As was the same every day since we moved to the island, Dad was at the stove preparing breakfast, today's menu- Spanish omelets with bacon, which was my personal favorite. What was different today though was that Jacob was not already sitting at the stool at the granite counter, already scarping down his food. I became tense, wondering if he had changed his mind about me during the night and had taken off for the mainland. I started to panic, and then I started to panic more when I realized that my Dad was not reading my thoughts and reassuring me, like he always does.
Now completely panic stricken I cried out, "Dad, what's the matter, where is Jacob? Tell me, stop ignoring my thoughts."
My Dad chuckled, turned from the stove, plating my food, and said "Your mother has been shielding you and Jacob since you returned from the beach last night sweetheart. I had no idea that you were panicking. Your mother decided that it would be best if I was not hearing either of your thoughts, especially with my tendency to overreact. Against my over-protective impulses, she convinced me when she reminded me what a responsible, beautiful, young lady we raised and that Jacob has been nothing but a loyal devoted friend to you since you were born. She convinced me I should trust you, and that is what I have agreed to do."
Somewhat relieved, and noting that I had to give Mom a huge hug and get her something she would absolutely adore for her next birthday, I then realized that Dad had only answered half of my question. "And Jacob, where is Jacob?"
"He left early to go into the jungle and shift into his wolf form. He wanted to discuss with Leah your new school schedule. Leah is now teaching Phys Ed at the La Push School, and Jacob is trying to arrange that you will have at least one wolf in each class with you, just as a precaution. I think that Jacob is almost more overprotective of you than I am."
"I have to admit, a lot of times I don't see what all the over-protectiveness is about any way. I am a half vampire, you know the super strength, speed, hearing, but none of the sparkling in the sun which will make me miss going to First Beach on a sunny day."
Looking exacerbated, my Dad replied "I know you were young, but I know your half -Vampire mind has not forgotten the Volturi. You remember meeting Aro. Your mother and I have told you how he has a desire to collect unique things, and well you may not technically be one of a kind as in the only half vampire, you are also a talented half vampire, and we do not want to draw any attention to the Volturi to renew Aro's interest in you. Since the majority of vampires are the mortal enemies of the Quileute's, we could not think of a safer place for you to re-immerge into civilization than Fork." Looking down and hesitating he added, "In addition, there is also the Nahuel factor."
He had me up until his last comment, "What do you mean about the Nahuel factor?"
Look at me, with both his eyebrows raised, the way he looked at me when he was making an effort to explain something serious, he continued. "About a year ago, your Uncles were swimming back from the mainland after a hunt, and as they approached the beach, they saw what they initially thought was another vampire, climbing out of the water and trying to move into the forest. Of course, you uncles grabbed him, recognized it was Nahuel, and brought him to Grandpa's house. Aunt Alice didn't see him coming at all, because unlike you and Jacob, she wasn't constantly looking for his family. I was over at their house when he entered, and I heard his thoughts." He paused, his expression somewhat turning from serious to pain and continued, "I am only telling you this because once we leave this island, once you enroll in the Quileute school, you will not constantly have a Vampire to have your back. Nahuel's plain was to kidnap you, to enslave you, to force you to be his mate, because you are the only of his kind, who is not related to him. You're Uncles and I promised to dismember him and burn his remains if he ever came within 1000 miles of you again, but your Grandfather, against my better judgment, convinced me not to kill him, to reciprocate the favor he had done for our family when we were confronted by the Volturi. Since that time, your Aunt Alice has been watching Nahuel's aunt Huilen, and for now, it does not appear that anything in her future indicates a showdown with our family."
I shuttered, and I felt the tears begin to fill my eyes. I felt my father hug me, trying to comfort me, and gently saying, "I wish our world was such that I would never have had to tell you that, but I need you to know that our protectiveness of you can never be over done. You are so precious to the whole family. In some ways you have become everyone's child, not just your mother's and mine, and none of us would survive it if anything every happened to you."
At this point, I was sobbing, and my mother appeared. Having heard the whole conversation, she continued as if she had been in the room the whole time. "Jacob didn't know about what happened with Nahuel until last night. Jake had come to talk to your Dad and I, before he went to bed, and he started telling us about how he had tried to explain to you that he would always be there for you no matter who you chose. Brought up Nahuel's name during the discussion, and well, you know how your father overreacts, he started yelling "over his burning ashes' and after that, we had to explain to him what had happened a year ago. Since he imprinted on you Nessie, Jacob would have killed Nahuel for his plan, but unlike you, Nahuel is poisonous, and none of us, want Jacob anywhere near Nahuel, especially by himself, because vampire venom is poisonous to wolves."
My sobbing just intensified. Dad continued to hug me, and now Mom joined in on the group hug, trying to console my hysterics. Slowly, my breathing began to come back under my control, and I felt some of my self-control return to me. As my decreased from sobs, to the near hiccups of trying to return to normal breathing, Jacob walked in the kitchen door.
I pulled away from my parents embrace and ran straight into Jacobs arms. My sobs returned and I choked out gasping for air, "Promise me Jacob, promise me you will not go after Nahuel. I would not be able to live if he hurt you. Please Jacob, promise me."
"I promise, I already promised your Dad last night, your Mom even temporarily removed the shield to have your Dad make sure that I wasn't just humoring them. Stop crying sweetheart, please I can't stand to see you like this, please stop crying." He held me tight around back, and slowly moved his arms up and down my spine trying to comfort me. His voice was soft, nurturing, tender and loving. My sobbing began to slow to gasping hiccupping whimpers, as he cradled me against his chest. He gently rocked me side to side, as if we were slowly dancing to our own private silent song.
"Now that I got the bad news out of the way," I heard my Dad say, with a heavily regretful tone, he continued, "I actually have some good news for you and Jacob today."
I turned my head back to look at my parents, who were standing together holding each other around the waist. Still somewhat gasping through the remnants of my tears, I replied "please give me good news, I haven't even eaten breakfast yet and I feel exhausted."
"Well," Dad said, his face now smirking said, "Vampire Academy is permanently closed, effective today. The family needs to leave Isle Esme within the next two weeks so that we will have a few weeks to set up our public story in Forks. Plus you will need to pack up all your things that you wish to move with you."
My pained expression had now transformed into an enormous smile. Before I could become completely happy, Dad continued, "There are just two conditions."
"Conditions," I said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, first that you have your entire room, including that enormous closet full of clothes that your Aunts have indulged you with backed so that we can have it crated and ready to load onto the boat in two weeks. And second, well, second is that you and Jacob continue to behave as the Lady and Gentleman that you are, so that he can help you pack up your room. Just remember, just because your Mom is giving you the gift of blocking my mindreading, my vampiric hearing is still in it normal working order," he laughed out loud after he said the comment about the vampiric hearing. At that moment, I really had to also give my Dad credit. Since his overreaction yesterday, he really has been exceptionally understanding and calm about me and Jake.
My breathing was totally under control at this point and I replied "I think that we can handle that." I looked up at Jacob who was nodding in agreement. As our eyes met, all of what had transpired between us yesterday, and all the things I had dreamed for us to do in the future flooded my brain.
Grabbing one of Jake's hands in mine, and pressing my hand against his cheek to show him a picture of him and I alone on the sandy shore by Grandpa's house, with his arms around me, kissing me passionately. I removed my hands from him, but before he could protest I said, "Well I am not hungry anyway Dad. Maybe I will go hunting on the mainland later if anyone else is going but after the emotional rollercoaster, even my favorite food doesn't appeal to me right now. Don't worry though, I know that Jacob will eat it. While he does, I am going to go change into my bathing suit. I think I want to get as much swimming in as I can before we go back to Forks," then coyly smiling at Jacob I asked, "unless you mind going swimming with me?"
Jacob chuckled and look down at me, "Well it is going to be a long swim. We were the losers in the water battle yesterday, and I know that Alice and Jasper have not forgotten that they owe us a flight across the ocean."
I gulped, "Yeah, I forgot that part. I'll text her and have her meet us on the beach in the hour so we can get our punishment over with."
