The characters in this story are from my favorite books, the Twilight Series, by the talented Stephenie Myers, and her copy write of the characters is implied.
I really feel compelled to keep going. I hope that someone enjoys reading this as much as I was enjoying writing it.
Chapter 10: Fast Break
We reached the dock within a minute. Both my Aunts were already on the boat with the engine running. I quickly dove onto the boat, then realized that Jacob was no longer behind me. I screamed "Oh my God, Jacob."
"I right here," he yelled back, as he stepped out from behind a tree, back in his human form, shorts on, and jumped into the boat, as Aunt Rosalie quickly steered it back toward the island.
I grabbed Aunt Alice by her shoulders and growled, "What is going on? Tell me now."
"Nessie I had two visions, but I think it is best that we get back to the island and discuss it with the entire family," she said, trying to reflect calmness, but her voice was just a little too shrill and quick to convince me.
"Tell me now, I am going insane," I plead. Jacob wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me down to sit on his lap. He gently stroked my arms trying to console me, as I began shaking and crying inconsolably.
"Just tell us Alice," Jacob scoffed, "she's freaking out."
I didn't hear a reply, and the only sounds on the boat were my sobs and the roar of the engine for the remainder of the hour trip back. I knew that this was going to be bad, really bad.
I was shaking and crying so hard in my panic that Jacob had to carry me into my Grandparent's house. The entire family was already there, assembled in the TV room. My parent's rushed immediately to console me, but I would not release my hold on Jacob. He sat down, with me on his lap on the floor in front of the TV. My parents sat on both sides of us, trying to calm me down with soothing pats and reassuring words. Uncle Jasper sat down in front of us, and I could tell that he was trying to calm me down, but for the first time ever, it wasn't working.
"Alice, we are all here, tell us now," Jacob snapped. I felt his body begin to shake around me.
Through my tears, I glanced at my Aunt. She took a deep unnecessary breath and began. "I had two visions, they were not very clear, but both are concerning enough that we all need to take immediate action." She paused, and took another deep breath, like what she was going to say was going to be physically painful for her to continue.
Through my tears I cried, "Please tell me."
"The first one involves Huilen. I see her wandering through the forest toward North America by herself, it looks like she is searching for someone. The problem is that I never see Huilen for more than an hour, at the most when I am looking for her, because Nahuel makes her blurry to me like you and Jake do. So this means that Nahuel is not with her anymore."
Again she paused, and I could tell that the worst information was yet to come. I shook even harder, and then Aunt Alice continued, "I also had a vision of the most of the family, standing at a funeral next to two open graves," she choked, and appeared to be crying in the tearless way that vampires do, "but Jake and Nessie, you were not standing there with us."
I clutched myself to Jacob, and I felt the air rush around me as I was torn from his arms, and was suddenly in those of my father's. I was so uncontrolled that I hadn't noticed that Jake was shaking he was going to phase uncontrollably. My Uncles were pushing Jacob toward the kitchen door, so he could get outside before he changed. I was still being held up by my father, but I felt many more sets of arms wrapped around me.
"He went wolf, but before that he said that he was going to talk to the pack about what we know so far and he would be right back," I heard Uncle Emmett say.
"What is it that we need to do now Alice," I head my father snarl. I guess Uncle Jasper wasn't working on him right now either, "I can't hear it in your thoughts."
"I can't be sure, it is still not perfectly clear, but I think that the funeral disappears if you, Bella, Jacob and Nessie leave the island immediately and return to Forks. I think it is OK for the rest of us to stay a day or two to finish packing things up here, but the four of you, need to pack and leave tonight. Edward, you are not going to be able to get a normal flight tonight, but I do see that you can charter a private jet."
Before I knew it, still cradled in my father's arms, the entire family was sprinting toward my home on the opposite side of the island. It was all kind of a blur through my tears, but I saw family members grabbing suit cases, throwing arm loads of clothes into them. My father placed me on the sofa and said "I need to start calling for a plane, I am right here though, just sit and take deep breaths."
Uncle Jasper sat on the arm of the sofa next to me, and put his arm around my shoulder. I felt a wave of serenity wash over me, and my breathing began to calm. I heard the kitchen door open, it was Jacob. I jumped from the sofa and threw my arms around me. He clutched me to his chest.
I was sobbing again, Uncle Jaz had not entered the kitchen yet as I cried into Jacob's chest, "Jacob, I can't loose you, I couldn't stand it. Please Jacob, please, promise me that you will not do anything to put yourself in danger, especially to try to protect me."
"Renesmee Carlie Cullen," Jacob growled through clenched teeth, "I am the last thing that you should be worried about right now. You are my life. Without you I have no purpose, and in protecting you, I protect all that I am too. We are going to both be ok, but you are my life, you are my soul, you are my universe, and the one thing that I can not promise you is that I would ever not try to protect you."
Although I felt Uncle Jasper's hand on my shoulder, and the wave of serenity washing over me again, I logically knew that I was still overwhelmed and panicked. I also knew, more clearly than I knew anything else, that it was much more important to me that Jacob stay safe, than my own survival. As he had just vowed to risk his life to protect me, I would give my life for him. I also knew that if I told him that, he would just totally freak out, so I continued to try to catch my breath, and clung myself to him.
I whispered into Jacob's chest, "I love you, Jacob. You are my everything too." I felt him kiss my hair.
"We need to get going now," Dad said, from over my shoulder. "You're Aunts packed clothes for the both of you and your Uncles are bringing the suit cases to the boat right now. The plane will leave as soon as we board. Let's go."
Jacob dragged me out of the house, following behind my parents.
