Moonlight Veil

Moonlight Veil chapter 6

Chapter 6

I tossed my coppery curls over my shoulder. "I don't get what the big deal is! I love Jacob! And I tried to kiss him! That's all! It's not like he tried to harm me!" I insisted. The rest of the Cullens just raised their eyebrows in unison. Mom was the first to move.

"But you're to young to be in love, baby. And Jacob is a stinking...dog," she reassured me with a smile.

I almost slapped her. I did love her. I absolutely adored her! But she was getting on my nerves!

"Mom, that's pretty low! Jacob is your friend! He has been since the two of you were toddlers! And haven't you ever heard the expression, 'love is blind'?" I snapped. Mom stumbled backward like she'd just seen a phantom. Dad grabbed my shoulder, roughly.

"Don't you talk to your mother like that!" He warned. I saw my grandparents, Esme and Carlisle Cullen, make a face at my father's back. They also gave me a sympathetic look. Emmet was the first to speak after that.

"True guys, but Jacob did imprint on the girl."

The room went pin silent. The only sound heard was the sound of Rosalie (Emmett's mate) slapping his arm. I didn't understand what was going on. I saw Emmett cover his mouth, and for once, look serious. Alice and Jasper looked at each other nervously.

Carlisle cleared his throat quietly, and Esme stared at her leather boots. I turned to each of the vampires, angrily.

"What in the hell is going on here? What does imprinting mean?" I blurted out. The silence was too much for me to actually take. This time, Rosalie answered. After toying with her beautiful blonde hair, she walked over and hugged me.

"Oh dear Renesmee," she said softly, "are you sure you would like to know?" I gave her a brief nod. But my mother had other plans.

"Are you crazy?" She shrieked, "you can't tell her, Rose!"

Rosalie turned to my mother sadly.

"Bella, you can't hide her from this secret forever. And it does have almost everything to do with Renesmee, anyway."

Mom began to sob. Dad embraced her lovingly. Rosalie turned back to me, her face dead-panned. "Imprinting can only be done by a werewolf. It's when the werewolf- well...immediately falls in love with someone. It's like they look at the person, and he or she is their whole world. The werewolf would do anything for the person. They were born to be soul mates." When Rosalie finished, I could hardly breathe. I just stared her, dizzy.

"But...wait-Jake chose ME?! Why?!" I gasped.

Rosalie shook her head. "No, werewolves can't control it. They can't choose who it happens with. All he said he really wants is for you to be happy. Jacob really does care for you, Renesmee."

I pressed my hand to my forehead.

"Oh dear, Rose! She's gone into shock now!" My mother screamed.

I shook my head as tears filled my eyes.

"Just- don't. Ok? Leave me alone," I said weakly. I ran past the 8 vampires and went straight to my room, weeping.
