A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

“You did great, baby.”
She shook her head. “I’m horrible.”
“Ness.” He pushed her back and leaned down to meet her eyes. “We can’t change what happened
to you, but we can’t give up either. You need to eat to stay strong.”
She shook her head again. “I’m a monster, Jacob.” She looked at the deer for a moment before she
closed her eyes. She just couldn’t accept that she had killed it for nothing.
Jacob couldn’t bear to hear her talk like that. “No,” he said strongly. “Look at me, Renesmee.”
She shivered under his authority and opened her eyes.
“You’re not a monster. The Bloodsucker that did this to you is the monster. Don’t you dare think
about giving up.”
She stared into his eyes intensely for a moment. Everything that she loved about him stared back.
She reached up to cup his cheek. “I won’t give up.”
He pulled her closer and leaned down to kiss her lips. He moved back and grimaced. “Deer blood
tastes funny without the meat.”
She smiled sadly. “I’m sorry.”
He sighed. “How are you feeling right now?”
She took a deep breath and did a quick assessment. Her throat hurt, but it was a small ache
compared to before. Her stomach was full. “I think I’m okay. I’m not . . . thirsty, I guess. My throat
still hurts a little, though.” She frowned. “Will that go away?” She looked up at him curiously.
He pursed his lips. “Honestly, I don’t know. I hope so.” He didn’t want her to be in pain all the time.
“What should I do with the deer?” She felt bad just leaving it there.
“There’s not much we can do with it. The scavengers will get to it. I’ll take care of it so it doesn’t
look so suspicious.”
She cocked her head to the side. “Suspicious?”
“Yeah. It’s pretty obvious right now that it didn’t die a natural death or even by a normal predator
around here.”
She didn’t want to think about how he was going to fix it. Instead, she just nodded and pretended
everything was all right. “Okay.”
“Do you want to wait over there?” He pointed in the direction they’d come.
She stood on her toes and kissed him quickly. “Yeah.”
“When I’m done, you can ride back, okay? Do you want to do any more hunting?”
