Faceless Moon Chapter 15
Renessmee POV
The talk with Jason yesterday was a bit rough. The minute I opened the door I could see concern and confusion written all over his face. At first I thought it could be because some how he found out I was pregnant, then I realized it was something else...something worse. I kept playing the conversation in my head over and over again while I lay in my bed.
Flashback:
"Hey Jay, come in." I said as he walked in. His expression was blank and void. Something was wrong. I could feel it.
"What's wrong babe?" I asked concern. He sat on the couch just as Aunt Alice got up to go to the kitchen. I guess she was giving us some alone time. A minute later I could hear the refrigerator opening and Aunt Alice grabbing some deer blood I kept cold.
"My uncle's dead." He said emotionlessly, I gasped in shock.
"OH MY GOD...HOW?" I asked coming to his side.
"He was attacked by some...creature." That got Aunt Alice's attention as her head turned to look at us.
"What creature?" I asked trying to ignore her.
"What kind of creature is the appropriate question?" Aunt Alice corrected as she joined us in the conversation.
"I don't know. It was unlike any of the creatures I've come across. I'm used to vampires and wolf but this was both...or neither. I-I don't know." He said, I could tell he was trying to hold back tears and anger. Two emotions his tribe has been taught to control at all times. I could see them both threatening to spill out and take over him. Just the thought of him suffering made my heart ache. Aunt Alice handed Jason some water then sat in the chair next to the couch, making sure to sit far enough away from Jason as she could because of the smell. Jason took it, reluctantly, and took a sip to clear his now raspy voice.
"Tell us what happened." I continued.
"Well, Samantha and I were patrolling the area when we caught a stench unlike any we could recognized. At first we thought it was a vampire so we followed it. Then, as we got closer to the source of the smell, we realized it was something else entirely. It was something unknown to our kind. That's when we called for back up. My Uncle, Phillip, Michael and Tony soon joined Samantha and myself in the chase. I showed them what was going on and ran in Sam's direction to give her backup since she was the closest to me. 'Follow the trail and lets surround him so he would have no where to go!' my uncle told us. So we did, but that's when Michael was hit with a stench so strong that it made him go crazy and somehow, ignored my uncles command." Jason explained.
At that moment I could see that single tear roll down his heated cheek as Aunt Alice and I listen intently.
"My Uncle ran after him not knowing that the... the thing was not to far up ahead. The rest of us raced towards Michael to stop him and join my uncle, but we were too late. We saw Michael attack it full on. With one swipe Michael was unconscious on the ground. I thought the creature would finish him off but, instead, it headed straight toward my uncle. That's when every thing went black on my uncle's end. I could only see Sam, Phillip, Samantha, and Tony through the pack mind. We tried to get to him and give him back up, but his trail went cold. All I could smell was Michael. The minute we hit the clearing where the creature was at, everything started to become clearer. I looked for the creature and saw it standing in front of my uncle's body getting ready to attack. The pack and I got ready to tear it to pieces but it just smiled and leaped in a tree above us and got away. Michael was slowly healing and was ok but my uncle...was..." The tears won the battle as Jason began crying. I wished I could stop the pain.
We both lost someone we loved and there was nothing we could do about it. Jason tears stopped as if to be listening to something.
"Nessie, what the hell is that sound?" He asked me suddenly. I was a bit amazed. How could he go from his Uncle dying to that.
"Where did it go, Jason?" Aunt Alice asked trying to get back to the subject at hand. I put my head down then. I was hoping he would have heard us while he was outside, but I was wrong. How can I blame him though? His mind was on the fact that the Chief of the tribe was dead.
"He went south towards Canada. The way he was moving he should be half way to Washington by now." He answered.
Oh My God! Jacob was all I could think about.
"Nessie, What the hell is that noise? Are you ok? Why is your heart beating so fast?" Before I could answer Aunt Alice interjected.
"Have you told Mason yet? She asked.
"No, not yet. I was going to tell him after I left here...WHAT. THE. HELL. IS. THAT. NOISE, RENESMEE. Are you nervous about something?" He yelled knowing what my Aunt was doing. I had to tell him.
"Jason, I know it's really not the right time but… that isn't my heart you're hearing...it's our child's. Jason I'm pregnant." His eyes became wide as shock scribbled itself all over his face.
"Pregnant? How? We only did it once and I thought you couldn't get pregnant?"
"I know-"
"Can we get back to the issue at hand please?! One issue at a time Jason, you need to tell Mason about your Uncle. He may not know the truth but he needs to know something. Nessie, you need to tell Jacob about the baby."
"Wait, where's Jake?" Jason asked unaware that Jacob left.
"Jake left." I answered plainly.
I jolted out of my thoughts as I heard a knock on the door. Running down stairs to answer it, I could hear Jason's deep voice yell from the other side.
"Nessie, babe open up!"
Upon opening the door I was engulfed in a tight hug followed by a quick kiss to the forehead. It was sweet and loving yet, gave me pause. What's up with him? He seemed so...concerned for lack of a better word. Releasing me, Jason walked towards the kitchen and went straight for the fridge. Not wanting to worry about him, I let it go as he pulled out a bottle of water and took larges gulps while leaning against the counter.
"So… did you go see your brother today?" I asked as I followed behind him and took a seat at the kitchen table.
"Yea, he said he would tell Jake everything." He responded nervously while running his hand through his messy hair before shyly asking. "By the way, have you told anyone else about the baby?"
"Just my mom, why?" I answered knowing something was wrong.
"Mason asked me and wasn't too happy when I confirmed it. Apparently, he knew Jacob left and was thinking you would be broken up about it. However, when he found out from Amber that you were pregnant he was furious at you. He couldn't understand how someone could cheat on his or her lover. To be honest, I can't understand it either and if it wasn't for this so call "change of imprint" I would be a bit curious to know how we were able to even get to that point of intimacy."
"I don't understand it either, Jay, but I like to think it was for the best." I stated as his face went blank. "Jake and I weren't happy with each other you have to believe me. Hell, he didn't think I'd notice how he cringed every time we kissed. The question is, why would Mason be mad at me? And how did Amber find out? I never told Amber I was pregnant. I barley told my mom last night after you left. Aunt Alice was just leaving, so she couldn't have told her. I never told my mom who the father was either."
Jason shook his had as he replied. "Well somehow they both knew because he pinned me against the wall the moment I walked through the door. For a man never phased he surprised the hell out of me when he lifted me off the ground."
That's when it hit me. Jacob must have told Mason that we never had sex and Mason put two and two together. "You think Jake told Mason that I never slept with?" I asked Jason as he took a seat at the table.
"Maybe, but that doesn't explain how he knew it was me. Unless your nosy ass Aunt told your mom and your mom told Amber who the dad was."
"No, she wouldn't do that in fear of my Dad killing you." I answered.
"But your dad can read minds. He'd know about us whether we wanted him to or not. I just think he doesn't care. That still doesn't explain my brother. He kept going on and on about how could I do this to Jake. Jake left you high and dry over some pack ho he never got over. He was so into her that he never even notice you were pregnant. What kind of man is that?"
"Well you didn't notice either. And my Aunt is not nosy. She just gets concerned when she has visions of me out of the blue."
"Yea right. Whatever you say… deary." He said as he rolled his eyes.
"And Leah is not a ho! She just had her heart broken a few times." I was a little upset at how he was talking about my family and Leah. He didn't even know Leah and he's judging her already.
"Nessie, she has already been with two alpha males. I think she is taking this wolf thing a little too serious, don't you think?"
"No, and you can't talk about her like that. You don't even know her. She was strong enough to let Jake go for me and I will always thank her for that."
"Whatever, just know that my brother is upset with the both of us. And I got a call from the council before I got home last night. They're thinking about making me Chief because I'm alpha but by birthright the title should go to Mason. When I told Mason about Uncle dying he put me down and just went upstairs. Amber told me to give him some time. I should be hearing from him soon. I'm pretty sure the council told him about that too." Jason explained.
"Well, I haven't told Jake about the baby yet. I really don't want to tell him in fear of what he might do." I said changing the subject slightly.
"First off, Jacob won't hurt you while I'm still breathing. Second, we will tell him together. He will most likely be here for the funeral seeing as how his dad and my uncle were close. We can tell him then." He got up from the table and pulled me into another passionate hug. I place my hand on his cheek showing him how much I have fallen in love with him. The love I feel for him is stronger then the love I felt for Jacob. I was able to leave Jacob for hours without feeling any pain but when it comes to Jason, I can't go an hour without hearing his voice. When I'm asleep, just a simple dream will ease the pain of him being away for so long. I was in pure agony the whole day today while Jason was gone and now he was in my arms where he belongs. Both of us inhaled each other's scent. I could feel him purr as my eyes shut. It was like inhaling a drug. I was on the faceless moon and never wanted to come down.
He looks at me with intensity and love. With that my lips were on his as we kissed with a force no human can fathom. Within second of the kiss we were tearing each other's clothes off. Jason rubbed my tiny bump then picked me up and carried me bridal style up the stairs to the bedroom. Without breaking the kiss he opens the door and lays us cross the bed. Let the love making begin.
