A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

Renesmee sighed. “Dad, it’s real. I know what happened. I felt the burning pain as I changed. Aunt
Alice and Uncle Jasper weren’t sucked into anything; they just knew the truth before you did.”
Jacob was doing his best to hold his tongue and let Renesmee do what she had to. He leaned
forward a little, his grip on her getting stronger.
“You can tell me the truth, Renesmee,” Edward said with a soothing tone. “What drugs were you
doing? What did you get into?”
Renesmee stiffened. “I wasn’t doing any drugs!” She stood up, the need to run away coursing
through her veins. Jacob let her go and stood beside her. “I told you the truth.” She knew, in a way,
she deserved her father’s skepticism after what she’d done to Jacob, but it hurt worse than she had
thought it would. “I know it’s hard to believe, Dad, but it’s real.”
Edward stood with them and took a step closer. “Stop lying to me, Renesmee.”
Jacob put his hands on her shoulders and bent to kiss her head. He knew she could deal with this,
but the instinct to protect her from her father’s words was intense. “It’s okay, baby,” he whispered.
“You’re doing fine, Ness.”
She licked her lips and nodded. She didn’t feel fine. She wanted to run away and hide.
Edward narrowed his eyes. “Whatever you’re telling her, you better stop now. Get away from my
daughter.” He stepped forward, prepared to push the other man back.
A fierce blast of anger slammed through Renesmee. It didn’t matter that Jacob was almost twice her
father’s size or that he was a Shifter entirely capable of taking care of himself. What mattered was
the threat Edward intended. Logic was abandoned in favor of instinct. Nothing mattered but
keeping Jacob safe. Screams and shouts sounded so far away as she pinned her father down.
“Edward, don’t move,” Jacob said.
Bella got up and went to get to her daughter. Jacob caught her and moved her back to the couch.
“Let me get her,” he said. He knew if she was startled, things could get very ugly for Edward. He
crouched down next to Renesmee, his hands on the floor.
“Ness, baby, look at me.” She heard his voice and slowly began coming back to reality. She
recognized the low rumble as her own steady growl. “I’m fine, Ness. Everybody’s okay. I need you to
look at me.”
She blinked and let herself relax marginally. It was enough to realize what she had done. She
glanced at Jacob for a moment before she looked back at her father and his terrified eyes. Her own
stung with gathering tears.
“Oh, God,” she whispered. She got up quickly and looked around at the shocked faces of her family.
Jacob tried to reach out for her, but the contact was not soothing. She flinched away from him and
ran out of the room.
Jacob cleared his throat. “She, um . . . Yeah.” He went after her.
