New Acquaintances
Kill Me, Please.
Third Person POV
Time was running out; everyone knew it.
Laying on the hard surface of a white hospital bed. Covered in light thin blankets, body inhumanly still. Delicate skin covered in deep, thick gashes oozing clear venomous fluid. Hair matted with the fluid against her freshly cracked skull.
A small heart beating ever so slightly, as it tries to pump what little venom is left. It fights to keep a body and mind alive.
"It's okay sweetie. All you have to do is wake up and everything will be fine." A man whispers in her ear, whilst holds her frail hand. In his head he reminisces on everything they had made it through.
He begs and pleads with her to wake; telling her that he will do anything. As hard as he tries, He just cannot help dry sobbing over her comatose body.
Through a tall oak door a man and his sons stood, quietly discussing recent developments in the young girl's case.
"Edward, seriously you need to calm down. What is wrong with you anyway?" said the large bulky boy.
"I…I just don't know. We need to talk to her and find out what happened. I'm not getting anything out of the wolves." The smaller bronze haired one, Edward replied.
"And what exactly happened when you and Emmett went to the border?" The father asked him.
"We met with their leader, Sam. He was no help. He only told us that he had no clue about the subject at hand, and he left before we could get questions out." The big one, Emmett said.
"Edward, did you get anything from him?" The last son questioned.
"Not really. He was defiantly trying to hide something from me though. His mind was everywhere." Edward stated "But you all know who we need to find to get some answers."
"No, who?" Emmett asked.
"Who do you think? Whose scent was all over her?" Edward retorted whilst running his hand through his bronze mess. "Jacob Black."
Renesmee's POV
Pain. Hurt. Burning. Itching. Anguish. Discomfort.
My body, what happened to my body? It's dark, so dark. Where am I? Why can't I see?
My venomous heart, it's pounding fast…too fast.
"Renesmee? Can you hear me?" A voice, from far away called. I wanted to scream to it, to scream for help. "If you can hear me move."
Move? Move what? I can't feel anything, I have no body.
"Is she awake?" A different voice whispered.
"I can't tell; her heart rate is off the charts though."
I CAN HEAR YOU! HELP ME!
"Quick get Christopher from Carlisle's office, maybe he can hear her."
My heart feels like it's going to jump out of my chest. Am I dying? Oh lord please, It hurt so bad! Please help me!
The noises around me are fading. I can't hear anything.
Please just make it quick!
My head hurts. It hurts so badly. Is this my brain shutting down? Why are you making me suffer?
I'm so sorry, but please trust me I would never want for you to suffer. I love you so much.
Who's that? What's going on? Please…just let me die! It hurts so much!
Ness, please wake up. I need you. I can't survive without you. Please fight. Fight for me, please!
Who are you! Please don't make me suffer any longer!
It's me, Christopher and we're trying. We really are, but the rest is really up to you.
Christopher? Christopher, I can't think. It hurts too bad, but please just help make the pain go away!
Renesmee it's alright if you don't remember me, but please know that I love you so much. And I need you to wake up for me.
It hurts too much! I can't…I really can't. Just make it go quick!
Make what go quick?...Oh Ness, please don't think like that. You're going to make it. YOU HAVE TO! PLEASE! I'm sorry to yell, but please try. Try to wake-up.
Body. I can feel my body. OH GOD I really am dying. Ahhhhh. It hurts. Please just kill me! Kill me! I can't do this anymore. It hurts far too badly.
My heart. It's slowing. Why is it slowing? What has happened?
It's so slow; barely even there. I think it's stopped. I can't quite tell. Finally the end is near.
Please just consume me to my fate!
Third Person POV
"She's not comprehending. I can hear her, but she can't hear me." Christopher cried out, dropping to the floor.
"What have you gotten out of her?" Edward asked, still in the same seat he was a little over a month ago.
"She can't remember me. She doesn't even know who I am!" He sobbed, not even bother to lift himself off the floor. "She wants to die." He looked up and scanned the room, finally landing on Carlisle. "Please Carlisle, Please you have to do something! She needs help. Please make her pain go away!" He pleaded.
Carlisle glanced at Renesmee, looking at her in such a fragile state almost made him cringe in pity. "There isn't anything we can do. She is on the maximum dosage of fentanyl. It seems to have slowed down her heart rate a lot, and it should be helping with the pain."
"Well it's not. She's fucking screaming at me to kill her. Please Carlisle I'm begging you, how can we wake her?" Christopher cried whilst gripping his head with all his strength. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped but I just can't take it. She's in so much pain and I can't even do anything to help her!" He continued dry sobbing and gripping his scalp. Esme stood from her seat, and gently began rubbing his back. He flinched slightly.
"Don't worry. She'll wake up. Just keep talking to her and let her know that we're here and trying to help her." She said as she peeled his hands away from his head, and gave Carlisle a concerned look.
"She can't hear me. She's completely unresponsive. She is just going to succumb to death the moment it gives her the chance! I...I just can't take this. I need some space." He ended up whispering. He gave Esme and the rest of the family a heavyhearted look, and then ran out of the hospital so fast that no human would ever be able to see him.
"Should we go after him?" Edward asked. He looked down at Renesmee, and felt as if his already broken heart was being torn even more. He ever so slowly picked up her hand and gave it a small kiss, as if to tell her it would all be okay.
"Give him some space for a bit. He has had such a hard time dealing with this, and I'm sure that all of us being around all the time is not helping with his emotions." Esme whispered.
The room went silent, until a tiny gasp came from the back of the room.
"Alice, what did you see?" Jasper asked her. Alice didn't say anything. She just gave Edward a concerned look.
Edward toward his family and solemnly said " He's tracking Jacob. He wants to kill him."
"Good, that mutt doesn't deserve to breathe." Rosalie spat.
"If he kills him, then we won't get any answers to what happened." Alice spoke.
"Edward, you're the fastest. Find him and try to stall him. Emmett, Jasper, and I will follow behind so that we can all confront Jacob and get the answers we need." Carlisle said. Before Carlisle even finished his sentence, Edward was out the door and close behind Christopher. "Jasper, Emmett, Please follow him. I will meet with you in just a couple of moments. I just have to tell staff that I need to leave the hospital." Emmett and Jasper followed Carlisle out of the room and they parted before the elevator.
Esme, Alice, and Rosalie gathered around her bed and sat in silence for a good twenty minutes.
"She really is beautiful, isn't she?" Rosalie said as she moved stray strands of hair from Renesmee's face. The others agreed, Alice a bit shocked though that Rose would confess another's beauty.
"I wish we could clean her up so that when she wakes, she won't know just how bad it was." Esme whispered.
"Yeah, if only moving her wouldn't put her in even more pain." Alice muttered. "Maybe we could at least do a little of her face, lightly?" Rose gave Alice a small smile and walked toward the bathroom inside of the private hospital room. She grabbed a little towel and dabbed it with luke warm water. She took the towel back to the bed side, and ever so gently began to wipe the hardening venom from her face without reopening the wounds.
"She looks a little better. Perhaps later when her skin has healed even more, we could try again." Rosalie said as she began to dry Renesmee's face.
Alice took the cloth and brought it to one of the dirty laundry bins on the outside of Renesmee's private wing of the hospital. No human was aloud to enter the doors of her wing. Carlisle was very lucky to be able to get the small portion of the hospital closed off from the rest of the world.
Alice was about to close the door to her room when she stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes glazed over and she became unresponsive. Esme looked towards her, and began walking in her direction. Alice awoke from her vision and looked around the room.
"What was it?" Esme asked.
"They're on there way back." She answered.
"Do you know what happened?" Rosalie questioned.
"No, I only had a quick glance of them walking back into the hospital in about two minutes."
The girls sat in silence for the second time, until the rest of the family walked into the room.
Edward and Christopher went straight for Renesmee's bed as Rosalie, Alice and Esme stood to greet their mates.
Edward picked up Renesmee's soft hand, gave it a kiss, and then leaned toward her right ear.
"Renesmee, you can fight this. I know that you are so much stronger than you let off. Please, try to do this for me. So that we can meet each other properly…My beautiful daughter, I love you.
A/N: I know it has been ridiculously long since I have updated, and I sincerely apologize. I have just been so busy that I haven't even had time to think.
BUT...you should be happy to know that after driving nine hours from P.A. I have found a way to fight exhaustion with my Starbucks coffee, in order to finish this chapter.
So I hope you enjoyed it and please comment to let me know what you thought.
Love,
BrittanyyGrace
