"HELP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as tears fell down my face. The pain made my body and mind out of balance.
Soon after that I felt my family running past me and Rosalie sat down beside me.
"Renesmee? Are you alright?" I could hear the worry in her voice.
"Jacob." I mumbled.
"Carlisle is on his way." She assured me. "Your parents and Emmett are still with the kids."
"I have to see them." I growled and she helped me up. I was determined to get home and I shook off the pain and ran to the house. I sprinted inside to where Emmett was standing.
"Where are they?"
"Your room." He answered quickly. I ran upstairs and slowed down so I wouldn't scare them. My parents were seated on the bed with Sarah and A.J.
"THANK GOD!" I exhaled and wrapped my arms around both as I sat down. "I missed you." I mumbled as I kissed them over and over again.
"Mommy?" Sarah mumbled. "Where is daddy?" she smiled. Pain caught me off guard when I realized I had left him.
"He will soon be here." My dad assured her and me.
"How has the night been?" I asked in a hope that the subject would go away from Jacob.
"GOOD!" Anthony shouted with a smile and fell down in mom's arms. "Candy." He said pleased.
"You gave them candy?" I muttered to my mom. "You are spoiling them already."
She shrugged her shoulder and smiled down at him. "You like the chocolate ones don't you?"
"Choko!" he laughed. My heart stopped when I heard my family arriving home.
I leaned down and kissed their heads. "Mommy will be back soon." I said and sprinted across the hall where Carlisle was laying down Jacob on a table.
"Ness." He whispered when he saw me.
"I'm here." I stroked his head and wiped away his tears.
"How are they?" He mumbled as he flinched in pain.
"They are fine. Don't worry."
He screamed when Carlisle tried to push his arm back into his socket. "The spine is damaged."
"What?" I don't understand how his could be damaged but not mine.
"This is going to hurt, Jacob. But try to stay quiet. The kids are in the other room." Carlisle explained to him. We couldn't bring them to us since they might need all the protection they can get.
"Mhmm." Jacob mumbled and took my hand. I leaned down and kissed his forehead as Carlisle moved his body. He yelled into my neck and crumbled up in pain. I wrapped my arms behind his neck and held him up with me.
"It's okay." I whispered to him.
"I need to wrap him up. Hold here." Carlisle said and showed where I had to hold him. Jacob hissed curse words quietly as we wrapped him up. I carefully placed his upper body down on the table again.
"More?" Jacob mumbled.
"No. We are done now. We just need to get you to the bed." Carlisle said and Emmett and Jasper came inside.
"Great." Jacob sighed. I stepped aside as Emmett and Jasper carried him over to the other room and put him down on the bed. I sat down beside him and pulled the covers over him.
"Sleep." I whispered to him and kissed his forehead. He quickly took my suggestion and closed his eyes. I assured myself that he was asleep and walked downstairs where my parents were waiting with the kids.
"We need to talk." I told them. "Alone."
They both nodded and handed Emmett and Rosalie the kids. They walked upstairs and in to the room they had here.
"Who was it?" My mom asked.
"I don't know."
"His talent is dangerous." My dad stated.
"I noticed." I snarled at him. I wasn't mad at him and he knew it. It was just the situation.
"We need to find him. What way did he run?" He asked. I thought back to everything that night, every last detail. When I tried to make out the features of his face again my dad froze.
"What?" My mom asked him. We both stared at him as his eyes were locked into thin air.
"Dad…" I hissed.
"Nate…" he whispered and his name sent chills down my spine. No…. how?
"The woman I sent him to work for…she is a vampire. But how could she be?" He mumbled and walked over to his phone and dialed a number.
"How can it be Nate?" I asked mom.
"I-I…I have no idea." She was just as stunned as I was. The rest of the night my family spent walking around the house and yard, waiting if someone would come back for us. The pack quickly came to help and searched through the forest. I checked in on Jake every thirty minutes and had the kids nearby every single second of the night till I couldn't stay awake anymore.
"You should go to bed." My dad said softly and stroked my hair.
"No." I mumbled and hugged A.J and Sarah tighter. They were lying on each side of me with my arms around them. The couch was anything but comfortable. I felt on the edge. If I was slept I couldn't protect them.
"We will protect them." He answered my thought.
"I know you will. But I…" I shook my head and tried to gather my thoughts. "I can't even explain. I just feel better if I'm awake myself with them." The truth was I had a million fears filling up my mind. What if someone attacked and I didn't get to say good bye.
"Come here." He mumbled and held his arms out to take A.J.
I shook my head.
"Renesmee." My mother picked up Sarah. "Come on. You need to be on your best tomorrow."
With reluctant arms I handed A.J over to my dad and kissed them good night before I walked up to Jacob. He was still sleeping like a rock, bundled up in blankets and wrapped in bandages. With quiet feet I snuck across the room and cuddled down in bed with Jacob. I carefully moved my hands up and down his arm and looked at his face. He was always beautiful but when the moonlight hit his face like this I was mesmerized by him. But just as I smiled at him the thought of how the light hit Nate's face entered my mind. I felt Jacob flinch and his lips started to slowly move in small movements. I leaned up on my elbow and focused on what he mumbled.
"No..." he whispered in his sleep and flinched again. "Sarah… Anthony…Ness…run…run..." he started to pant quickly and I put my hand on his cheek. "Nate…" he hissed "Kill..." he finished.
When he said 'Kill' I realized I was crying and I could only think of the terrible night. He quickly started to move around and I frowned.
"Jacob..." I mumbled. He gritted his teeth and moved around more. "Wake up." I said desperately as he started to shake. "JACOB!" I yelled and his eyes opened wide. We were both gasping for air as he looked at me.
"Ness…" he mumbled.
"I'm here." I assured him and wiped away his tears. "What happened?" I asked and kissed his forehead.
"Bad dream." He whispered and turned his face to kiss my hand.
Crap. I had caused this. I had shown him my thoughts.
"Thank you for being here." He whispered and nuzzled his face against my hand.
I blinked away my tears and as I laid down beside him. His skin was sweaty and was still trying to catch his breath.
"I will always be here." I mumbled and stroked his hair until he fell back asleep. I quickly followed.
