Chapter 16: unexpected
Renesmee's POV
"You want to get to know my cousin?" I asked. "Yes. Is that a problem?" Noah asked.
"It's just that she's human and she doesn't know anything about this" I said. "That's fine, I won't tell her anything yet" he said. "Okay then" I said.
When we went back all of the Cullens were waiting for us. There was no doubt that they had heard our entire conversation and would want to talk to him alone. "Yes, we would like to talk to him alone" Edward said. "Can you please leave us alone for awhile" Carlisle said. "Sure" I said. "Where is everyone?" I asked. "They went out for now. They'll be back later" Edward. "Okay" I said.
I went inside the house. As I walked past one of the doors in the house I noticed a sweet smell emanating from it. It had to be the the sweetest thing I had ever smelled. Suddenly I felt like my throat was on fire; the flames lapping at the inside of my throat. The sweet smell became even stronger. I opened the door and I saw bags full of some red liquid. I couldn't really tell what it was because the scent and the burning in my throat was the only thing I could think clearly about. I started drinking some of the red stuff and the taste just exploded in my mouth. The red liquid soothed my aching throat after a substantial amount of bags had been drained.
I looked down at the bag I was holding and I noticed it said blood type O-
Oh my god! I just drank blood! Donated blood. I stole donated blood. There are people out there that needed donated blood and I just drank it. I had to get out of here. I needed to calm down.
I decided to go for a walk in the nearby forest. I just couldn't believe that I just lost control like that and drank blood. My family makes it look so easy to control themselves around blood. I guess I'm just weak then. How did they handle it? Also, why would a household of vampires have so much blood on hand?
I had been wondering around for a few hours, too ashamed to go back just then when I heard someone calling me.
"Renesmee! Renesmee, there you are I've been looking all over for..." Bella stopped mid sentence as she stared into my eyes, like there was something there now that wasn't there before.
"How could you?" she asked. "How could I what?" I asked confused. "Don't act like you didn't do it" she said sounding upset now. "Like I didn't do what?" I asked. "Like you didn't kill someone" she said angrily. "I've never killed anyone" I said completely perplexed. "I don't believe you. The evidence is right there" she said. Her words stung, they really stung big time. I was also very confused. What did she mean the evidence is right there?
We walked back in silence and I was fighting tears the whole way.
As we approached the house I saw all of the Cullens there with strange looks on their faces.
"We have a huge problem Bella" Edward said. "What is it?" Bella asked. "I'm missing about a quarter of the blood bags I had in storage this morning" Carlisle said. Bella stopped mid step as some sort of understanding lit her face before she looked towards me. The rest of them followed her gaze before they gasped in shock when they made eye contact with me. They too stared at me like there was something there that wasn't there before.
"Nessie, was it you? Did you drink the blood?" Carlisle asked. I looked down shamefully before saying "Yes, it was me. I'm so sorry. I don't know why I did it. I just smelled the blood and I couldn't help it. My throat was burning because of the smell and I didn't realize what I was doing. I'm so sorry. I guess I'm just weak" I said as I started crying.
Carlisle and my dad were at my side in an instant. "Nessie, I'm not mad at you" he said. "Don't ever call yourself weak Nessie, most mature vampires have control problems when it comes to blood, and your new to this. I never want to hear you think so lowly of yourself again. Understand?" Edward said. "Yes" I said and he went to hug me.
"Nessie, I owe you an apology. I'm so sorry for accusing you of killing someone and I shouldn't have been so harsh even if you had. I never had a problem with bloodlust and I forget that most people are not like me. It was very wrong of me and I'm so sorry. Will you forgive me?" she asked. "Of course I can" I said and I went to hug her.
"I just have one question though. How did you all know that I had drank blood?" I asked. They all looked at me hesitantly before Edward said "Come with me Nessie".
He led me to one of the many bathrooms that they had. "Look in the mirror" he said. I did as he asked my gaze traveled up my reflection before landing on my eyes. They were as red as the blood I had drank. I gasped "What happened to them?" I asked. "It's what happens when we drink human blood. When you were younger Carlisle had a theory that if you drank human blood in a large amount at one time your eyes would instantly turn red or if you drank animal blood in a large amount at once your eyes would turn gold instantly. The theory was never tested though" he said. "How am I going to hide this?" I asked. "Here are some colored contacts. They match your eye color. We keep them handy whenever needed. Usually our venom disintegrates them in a few hours. However, you don't have any venom so you don't have to worry about that" he said. "Thanks" I said before I went to hug him.
"What happened with Noah?" I asked. "He's on our side. He hates his father and he is going to help us fight Joham" he said. "He wants to date my cousin though" I said. "I know. She really likes him too. She came back alone after our talk with him and they left together" he said. "This is a lot to handle" I said."I know Nessie" he said.
A few hours later I was talking with my sister when I felt something very strange. I didn't think much about it until she suddenly backed away in fear. "What the hell is wrong with your eyes?!" she asked. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Your eyes just suddenly turned red!" she shouted.
I looked in the mirror and I saw that they were red again. The Cullens were wrong. I did have venom and it just disintegrated my contacts in front of Sarah.
Oh Hell! Was my final thought as I looked at Sarah.
