A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

He wanted to argue when Quil showed up with the car, but Quil was right. It would be easier, faster,
and smoother for her to take the car than try to carry her or balance her, unconscious, on his back.
Jacob gave in but made Quil run home.
Renesmee whimpered again. Jacob sat up and reached over to touch her arm. Her skin had started
to cool at a rapid rate the day before. She’d never felt cold to him before; she was just the normal
temperature of a human. She was cold now, though. He had her covered with three blankets, but it
didn’t seem to do much to warm her. There were other changes as well. Her skin was lighter in
color, and her hair more vivid bronze.
“Ness,” he said softly. He took her hand and lifted it to kiss her knuckles. “Please come back to
me.”

Renesmee felt like she was floating in an endless, black sea. Everything around her was dark. Her
heart pounded almost painfully against her ribcage and it was difficult to breathe. Her throat burned
every time her lungs sucked in air. She had heard herself whimper, and each time made the fire get
hotter. It was dim compared to the blaze she’d felt before. She didn’t know how long ago that had
been. It felt like ages.
A hot hand touched her arm. She could smell Jacob all around her. It was the only thing that made
breathing bearable. “Ness.” The voice was soft, but she had never heard a more beautiful sound. It
made her heart hurt to know that she hadn’t lived to tell Jacob that she truly loved him. The heat
moved her to hand, then she felt familiar lips against her fingers. “Please come back to me.”
She realized with a start that it was Jacob speaking. His voice sounded so different. It was so rich
and vibrant, even in those few short words. Her gut churned. She wanted so badly to be with him.
Why couldn’t she open her eyes? She couldn’t move at all. It had to be a dream. Just another
terrible dream that she was sure to escape from soon. And when she did, she would hug Ephraim
close to her and rush to tell Jacob about her decision.
The heat disappeared from her hand. She felt cold again, and suddenly so sad. She wanted to cry.

Jacob didn’t understand how time could pass so slowly. Before all this happened, it ran normally. An
hour lasted sixty minutes. It seemed an hour now would have been a whole day before. His clock
seemed to have stopped working. It read five-thirty-two in the evening, then what felt like thirty
minutes later, it read five-thirty-four. He was going crazy. According to the clock, it had been two
hours since he’d last heard Renesmee whimper.
He hadn’t moved from his spot next to her. He refused to until she woke up. His stomach growled,
but he ignored it. He had managed to sleep a little since he brought her home, but he wasn’t tired
regardless. He just wished something would happen.
Renesmee sucked in a deep breath, and Jacob perked up. She moaned softly as she exhaled. He
turned on the bed and folded one leg under him so he could face her better. He rubbed her arm
