Chapter 35: Fork’s Most Wanted
When Jake and I walked into the room the first thing that I noticed was that Seth was holding a sobbing girl. I didn’t recognize her, until she held her head up. I gasped. It was the girl that Sienna always drew. She looked at me, “Nessie?” She asked. I had to look closely but I knew it was Sienna there was something about the shape of her eyes that had remained the same even though absolutely everything else about her appearance had been radically altered. I ran up to her and hugged her. “The girl in your drawings-” I stuttered, she smiled slightly but the smile never quite reached her eyes. Seth stood over us, “Who was it, who did this to you?” He asked gravely. I looked at them in confusion. “What’s going on?” I asked. My father looked at me distractedly, “Amore just remembered what happened. She has had amnesia about the accident until just now.” I turned to her, my voice shaking with anger, “Who was it,” I whispered. Her golden eyes drifted away as she seemed to lose herself in a memory. “I left the dance to go to the bathroom,” her face twisted as if she was trying hard to remember something, “I know that I got into a fight with him about something but I cannot remember what it was.” Her face crumbled, “It is so important, I know it is and I cannot remember it…” She leaned against Seth with her arm around him, touching his neck. My grandfather went to her side ever the Doctor, “It’s alright Amore, don’t force it, as time goes on it will come back to you.” She looked up frantically, “NO! I don’t have time, it’s so important but I can’t remember!” She went to tell the rest of her story but her voice broke she turned to me while she clung to Seth. She held her hand out to me with the look of a lost child on her face. “Help me,” she whispered. I didn’t understand what I was supposed to do but I took her hand, instantly I was there selanjutnya to her as Nahuel relentlessly pursued her. I was there as she hit her head so hard that she passed out. The blood stung my eyes. I was with her as he dislocated her shoulder. I felt the burning pain, I flew through the sky with her as she was thrown into the tree. I felt my body go numb; I felt myself choking trying to breathe through collapsed lungs and broken ribs. I felt the fear that went through her body as her attacker slowly walked up to her but she couldn’t pindah in order to escape. I felt the pain and the sudden burning of her hand as he bit her. Then I felt her laying there waiting to die, feeling frustration and defeat as I looked up with her into the faces of myself, Seth, Jake and Leah as we got to her too late. Her hand let go of mine and I fell back onto Jake who caught me with an extremely concerned look on his face. My body was shaking violently as I snarled, “I will kill him.” I looked up, Amore had her eyes clenched shut as she sobbed silently, her little body heaving. I looked at Seth; he had the same disturbed look on his face that I knew I wore. “Di- did anda see that too?” I whispered. He nodded is body shaking in anger. “I’m going to find him and rip him limb from limb,” he spat in anger. My father looked at me his eyes flashing, “Who?” I could barely speak the words I was so angry, “It was Nahuel. He attacked her outside of the school in the woods at the dance.” When I acknowledged what had happened out loud Seth growled in fury. Jake looked at him firmly, “Seth, stop. She needs anda right now. I promise anda we will figure this out.” It was true; the beautiful little vampire who was physically stronger than just about everyone in the room at this point, but she looked as weak and fragile as a baby. She leaned against her shuddering boyfriend. Jake looked at Seth again, “You have to calm down NOW do anda want to hurt her?” That seemed to work and Seth calmed down. I took a few deep breaths myself and I felt the anger settle down to the point where I could somewhat think rationally. He took Amore’s face between his hands and looked into her eyes, “Listen to me, I know I failed anda once but it isn’t going to happen again. I promise anda I will find him and he will be dealt with. anda are aman, brankas now.” She hung her head and continued sobbing, “There is something so important, it is the reason we were fighting but I can’t remember.” Seth tried to comfort her but it was no use. My aunt Rosalie went to her and led her upstairs so that she could calm down and we could formulate a plan. My father walked over to me his face white. “I should have taken care of him at your party when he first laid his hands on you.” Uncle Emmett had been leaning against a chair in the dining room, his eyes glowed and the chair snapped in half. “Edward, we are going to find him, now.” He growled as he tossed the broken chair to the floor. I was so angry with myself. How could I have been so stupid to assume it was the Volturi, why did I always give Nahuel the benefit of the doubt he was a monster. My grandfather called everyone to attention, “I agree with anda that he needs to be dealt with. He is a danger not only to our family but to others as well, but we need an organized plan.” My grandmother spoke up quietly, “I say that we still have Amore’s party tonight. The poor child has been through so much. She needs any bit of normalcy we can offer.” My Uncle Emmett nodded. “Fine, after the party is over we hunt him down.” He berkata viciously as he looked at my father, grandfather, Uncle Jasper, Seth and Jacob for affirmation. Jake looked up, “I will call Sam I know that they will want in, especially if there is a vampire this close to their land.” My father nodded, “Then it’s settled.” I looked into his eyes, “I am coming too.” He sighed deeply, “Renesmee, I am not having this discussion right now.” I looked at him through steely eyes, “I am strong enough. She is my best friend it happened on my watch and I am going that’s final.” My mother reached her hand out stop me but I brushed past her as I flew up the stairs to go check on Amore.
