Chapter 17
I didn't need Alice's gift to know what was going to happen so a held my daughter tight to my chest and jumped out the window. Everyone stared at me. I knew they heard everything that was going on and Edward knew my plan. Rosalie was the furthest from the house and also the only one I would trust. I handed over my daughter, "Run!" I didn't need to tell her twice before she was a gone. Then my greatest fear happened; Jacob jumped out the window and turned into his wolf form at the same time.
Seth and Leah came running up behind them but Leah pounced on Jacob causing him to land with a thud. "Dad?" "Leah is telling him that he needs to calm down and think about what he id doing… Jacob is just thinking about what happened to Caleb." Caleb. I ran back inside to my son. He was crying and still bleeding into the towel. Carlisle was there helping with his wounds. "Is he…" Carlisle looked up at me, "He should be fine however I would like to take him to the hospital." "Carlisle just do what you think if best, you're the doctor."
When I went back outside Jacob was back to his human form and mom had draping a blanket over him, to cover him up. "Jacob, Caleb is going to the hospital." He wrapped the blanket around his waist and came to me. He kissed my forehead and whispered, "I'm so sorry I never meant to come after you like that. You know how much I love you. I just wanted to hurt Marie for what she did to Caleb." I sobbed begged for the release of the nonexistent tears. I could speak to tell Jacob how mad I was so I showed him.
I showed that I never once feared that he was going to harm me but that I feared for our daughter. I saw the same look in his eyes that he gets when guys hit on me, only it was intensified by ten. I swear I could the fires of hell staring right at my daughter. It killed me but I had to show him that while he stared at our daughter I was thinking of ways to hurt him if I had to. I pulled away ashamed of myself. Jacob tried to hold me but I wouldn't let him so he settled on holding my hand.
"Come on lets go to the hospital." I stood still not moving but still holding his hand. I shook my head and showed him a vision of me attacking the innocent people at the hospital. "Jacob it is a very realistic possibility, maybe she shouldn't go." Jacob growled at my dad and I growled at him in return not even realizing I had done it. "Fine!" He left with Carlisle and Caleb and I had a feeling like things were going to change a lot before they would ever get better.
I walked into the house still in a daze of what just happened, "Rose is on her way back." I nodded, "Thanks Em." I walked to kitchen where Alice and Esme were staring out of a window. "Alice, what is Sam going to tell Jacob?" She shook her head and I knew she wasn't going to tell me. "The werewolves from Europe heard about the pack back in Forks. They want to meet all of them including Jacob's pack. If they find him with us, with you, they'll kill us. We think." I didn't know how to react so I did the only thing I could, "Thank you Jasper."
I pulled my cell phone out and called Carlisle. Since the werewolf gene wouldn't kick in until later a normal doctor could take care of my son. I told Carlisle to remain normal but pretend like an emergency had happened and he needed to attended to it and then come home. Alice already packed everyone's clothes already seeing my plan and Edward got all the guys to help cover the furniture and load up all of our necessities including one of the cribs.
We were all ready to go when Carlisle got home. I drove his rabbit to the hospital and left the keys with Carlisle's nurse. She said she would page him after I left. On the steering wheel I left two letters one for Jacob and one for Caleb. They said that I loved them both very much and that one day they would understand. I also told Jacob to take the pack and go back to Forks and that one day we would find each other again but until then to take care of our son and make sure that he knows I love him.
Mom tried to stop me from doing this to Jacob, and she explained about how much it hurt her when dad ran away from her even though it was to save her. I tried to make her understand that I wasn't doing this for either Jacob or myself but for Caleb, Marie and our family. If the werewolves found us and killed us it would only be a matter of time before Aro would find out and use it as an excuse to start a fight with the packs. Not to mention this way Jacob wouldn't have to lie to his visitors about where we are, he really wouldn't know anything.
