Jacob Black
"Where is she? She's never late!" I asked myself. I didn't remember any cancelation in our plans. Maybe I could call Billy and see if I forgot to check the message board. Or I could go pick her up… so many options…pick one! I thought. Nessie's fast. She'll come soon enough. I had a new thought. What if something's going on that I didn't hear about? I haven't talked to Bella or read the news paper for a while. What if she decided that the vampire code affected us? Did all imprinted guys think like this? Hard to deal with yourself and full of worry?
Well, knowing Sam and Emily, I guess that's how it goes. But… this is different! I mean, I've never actually kissed Nessie, because of her thirst for my blood. But really, Edward put up with kissing Bella, why can't his daughter be the same? Another thing is that we're "mortal enemies", but only half way I mean, she's half vampire and I'm not an official werewolf, I'm a shape shifter for crying out loud! Well, Seth always said we were more like "mortal lovers". I shook my head from the thought of Seth.
That had to be the worst night. Seth disappearing, just like that. No help what so ever? It wasn't like… him. And now, he's been gone for 14 years, sure, I've talked to him, but only as a wolf. He hasn't shifted for a while, from what I know of. Poor kid, I thought. Almost done high school when he left. He'll have to start again!
Then, down the road was her motorcycle—well, Bella's. I smiled as she took her helmet off, shook her hair and smiled back. She had Bella's brown eyes—when she was human at least—Charlie's brown curls about Bella's length of hair, and she had Edward's dashing face smile. Nessie's an angel on earth—if there wasn't anything more beautiful. An angel despite of the way she attacks her dinner.
"You're late." I pointed out.
"Sorry Jake. I was talking to Alice and…" her smile disappeared.
"you were…" There wasn't many things she didn't want to tell me.
"I was talking to Alice and…well…" she touched my face, showing me her conversation with her aunt bloo—Aunt Alice. I couldn't call them "Blood suckers" or "leeches" since my "non-official girlfriend" was apparently half of one.
When she took her hand back, I was confused. "What did she mean by 'whole'?" I asked.
"That's the thing Jake. I stop ageing on my birthday because the Volturi are coming to make me 'whole'… a whole vam—" I caught up.
"No! They can't! They have NO RIGHT! I won't let them! As long as I'm here, I'm fighting for you!" I practically yelled. I was in shock! Nessie wasn't looking at me. She was looking at the ground. I held up her face with my hand.
"Renesmee Cullen." I said as I looked into her eyes.
"Listen to me. It doesn't matter what we are. As long as I'm alive, I'm fighting for you. I love you, I'm not leaving your side."
"But, when I turn into a vampire, we'll be ennimies! What if you don't—" I cut her off. "'when'?" I repeated. I snorted. "More like 'if'. We can't let anything get in our way. Not the Volturi, not your parents, not Seth, no one!" I replayed the last few words I said. She grunted, she caught that.
"Sorry." I apologized quickly. "um… there's something else I need to show you." She put her hand back into place. Seth? Seth was here? I thought. No, Seth is here! I smiled as she took her hand back.
"Seth, he's going to your school?" I asked.
"Yeah…"she replied. I could see she was still stuck on the first thing we discussed. How many time did I have to tell Nessie that I'm not leaving her side? Bella seemed to understand, why couldn't Nessie understand the same way? I mean, what part of "I love you" didn't she understand? That it was all over valentine cards and sometimes when you give it out, you don't mean it? Well, I really do like Nessie… a lot!More then I should.
