~Chapter Fifteen~
Changed
Jacob sat on the side of his bed next to Renesmee with his head in his hands. He still didn’t know
what to do. He had pushed everyone away, demanding to be left alone with her until she woke up.
He sent Billy to stay with Harry and Sue, and he had given the strictest command to his pack to stay
away from the house until he said otherwise. He didn’t know what would happen when she finally
opened her eyes again, if she ever did. The only comfort he could take was that her heart was still
beating and she was still breathing.
It had been two days. Alice and Jasper had called several times, worried about their niece. He
understood, but he refused to let them see her. He explained the situation as best as he could and
promised to bring her back if it was safe.
His head jerked up when she whimpered. He turned to see her still unmoving on her back. He
waited for a moment, hoping she would make another sound. She was silent. He sighed and
resumed his position with his head down and his hands gripping his hair.
He recalled the moment they’d found the cabin. He could hear her heart beating frantically, and her
fear was more intense than he had ever experienced before. Once he, Embry, and Quil had caught
up to the Bloodsucker, he was torn. He needed to get back to Renesmee, but he couldn’t let Caius
die quickly. Quil had suggested Jacob let him and Embry take care of the Bloodsucker, but Jacob
couldn’t do that. It was his fight; he had to finish it. He accepted Quil’s help but made Embry sit
aside.
Embry had felt useless. He had apologized countless times; he did feel bad. A part of him agreed
with Jacob that it was his fault, but he couldn’t think of anything he could have done differently to
change the outcome. He had heard hearts beating, her scent had still been fresh, and there was no
trace of any Bloodsuckers.
As much as Jacob had wanted to shred the Bloodsucker inch by inch, it took too much time. He
allowed himself to get a fraction of the revenge he so craved, then he ended it. Embry was assigned
fire duty.
Seth hadn’t been sure where to take Renesmee. The cabin was ten miles east of Forks. He could
have walked back to the reservation, but he didn’t have any clothes and he didn’t want to chance
someone seeing a naked man carrying an unconscious woman through the woods. It was begging
for trouble. Instead, he’d found a small cave formed from the tree roots and laid her gently inside.
He’d shifted then to let his alpha know where she was.
Jacob had started pushing the others away as soon as he reached them. He growled, showing his
teeth, and stood between his imprint and his pack mates. They both left. Quil went to get Jacob’s
car, and Seth went to keep Embry company. Jacob had shifted once they were gone and checked
Renesmee over. Her whole body was hot, even to him. It scared the shit out of him.
