chapter 15 : A Restless Awakening

After two days, Jacob was sitting in the woods near the Cullens' house and he was using one of his claws to carve a wolf while Seth and Leah further away were having fun in their giant wolf form.

He was finishing the details when someone came to sit next to him and it was Danielle who since yesterday was starting to feel her emotions again.

Danielle: It's pretty. Is this a sculpture of you?

Jacob: Thank you but I don't want to play that game Danielle.

Danielle: Jacob I don't know what to do, I feel things...complicated. Every time you're here I feel strangely good and when you're not there I feel…empty. I don't know if my feelings will return exactly as they were before but...I feel things for you and...and you I feel like you're running away from me...

Jacob:…

Danielle: You don't want me anymore because I'm a vampire ? I don't know why but this feeling every time you ignore me or refuse to talk to me is harder to bear than the thirst for human blood. Jacob...I didn't ask to be a vampire...

"If I had known I would have stayed with you in Seattle, I would never have lost you…they would never have killed you…! I don't blame you Danielle, I'm the one to blame. I fell in love with you so quickly, you have no idea the hole in me that you had closed and…(Breathe) I had prospects for a future with you, having children, and forming a family…" Jacob said looking at her with his wet eyes.

Danielle: Maybe we could start again...I...I would like to start feeling again what I see in my memories with you...Jacob I know I want something but I feel lost.

Jacob: It doesn't matter anymore...

"I want to try again…" Danielle said as her face moved closer to his.

Jacob: Please don't do this to me...

"I'm not going to give up on how you made me feel" She whispered before they kissed slowly, the kiss lasted for a while and it got even deeper. When they separated, they remained with their foreheads together.

Danielle: I love you Jacob, I think it became so intense that I didn't know what it was anymore.

He wanted to respond when the figures of Bella and Edward came rushing out of the house.

Apparently she had woken up and Edward took her hunting to quench her thirst before she could approach Renesmee.

Jacob and Danielle sat there with their hands clasped together, they didn't speak, they just sat there next to each other.

Danielle: I miss the camper van.

Jacob: (laughs) Are you serious?

Danielle: Yes, really.

Jacob: Maybe I'll go get it later.

Danielle: I can't wait.

When Bella later returned with Edward, she immediately came to take Renesmee from Rosalie's arms and noticed that for a newborn, She already seemed to be over a year old even though she had only slept for two days.

She was told everything that had happened and she thanked Jacob.

Jacob: Bella, that's not all and you have the right to know what happened between your daughter and me.

"What are you talking about Jacob?!" Bella said as recognition gave way to uncertainty.

Jacob: Everyone distance themselves from her and Edward, you should take Renesmee.

Bella: JACOB I ASKED YOU FOR AN EXPLANATION.

Jacob: I imprinted on her, it's something that we wolves don't control and it's as if she became my soul mate if you want quick explanations.

It's imperative that you calm down, you have no control over your strength or your emotions at this moment.

"It was unintentional and it saved our daughter's life. When she was in your stomach I didn't know why but she liked Jacob's voice more than ours, it came from her Bella…" Edward tried to calm her down by putting his hand on her shoulder.

Bella: Edward, take your hand away, I don't want to hurt you...

Carlisle: Bella, please try to calm down...

Bella: (To Jacob) YOU...I hadn't even picked her up yet when you had your hold on her...?

She tried to hit him several times but he avoided or deflected her attacks as the child began to cry in his father's arms.

Edward: Bella Stop...

"You think you only need to save my life a few times to do that ? Do you think that not having me gives you the right to target my daughter...?" She said grabbing Jacob's neck to push him out of the house and this time everyone remained silent, this was going too far.

Jacob didn't say anything right away before calmly grabbing Bella's shoulders before spinning around to throw her into the forest where she crashed into several trees.

Jacob: Since the gentle way doesn't work...

Esme: Jacob please...

Jacob: I'm not going to hurt her. Only this feeling of power made her grow wings and I'm not going to let myself be insulted after everything I did for this girl.

"I won't let you near my child..." She came back from the forest and when she tried to attack him again, Seth intervened to separate them but she violently threw him against a tree and there, the others had to govern but it was too late.

Immediately, Jacob's eyes went dark and he grabbed her by the neck lifting her almost a meter above the ground.

Jacob: You've gone too far! You can keep your daughter, I never wanted her and it's not in my values ​​to be attracted to babies. If you even want to know, this impregnation has no influence on me so you can be reassured of one thing, (brings his face closer) I'm not interested in your daughter, the bond will perhaps be strong on her side but on mine is almost zero.

He said before throwing her to the ground.

Edward: Jacob I'm not sure I understand.

"I have already been psychically connected to Sam and I have felt his imprint on his wife Emilie and his connection is probably 100 times stronger than what I feel for Renesmee. It has no influence on me so you can be reassured about my intentions. However, the child will perhaps suffer, I don't know. » He said as he pulled Seth up with Carlisle and Rosalie.

Jacob: (looks at Bella) As for you, I advise you to go get ready. I called Charlie to come here.

Bella: WHAT DID YOU DO?

Edward: Jacob, she doesn't have complete control over her thirst...

Jacob: Charlie has been through emotional hell recently because of Bella, he thinks his daughter is missing or even dead and it's killing him emotionally. This man doesn't deserve this.

Bella: Now because of you, I'm the one who risks killing him.

Jacob: Do you really think I didn't take all that into account? I have my own methods to make everything okay, I'm going to do that at least for him before I leave here.

Less than an hour later Alice and the others were helping Bella get ready when they heard Charlie's car outside so Jacob immediately came up to her and looked into her eyes to start hypnotizing her but he did a test first.

Jacob: Raise your right hand.

Bella didn't really understand but her right hand was raised without her consent, he also did other tests before giving her orders through hypnosis.

Jacob: No matter what happens or is said in Charlie's presence, despite your thirst, you are not going to attack him.

Charlie arrived and Jacob went over to greet him and also put him on hypnosis.

Jacob: Charlie, you looked for your daughter but she is here and now she is fine. Bella is a vampire now but that doesn't matter to you because she's still your daughter, the same one you've always known and she also gave birth to your beautiful granddaughter. You will keep this secret to the grave.

He let go of Charlie who, as if he wasn't under hypnosis at all, calmly went and sat next to Bella and they talked while Jacob and the others went out. He went straight to his motorbike where Carlisle saw him and approached with the others.

Carlisle: Jake you don't have to leave, you're at home here.

Jacob: Thanks Carlisle but I already did what you called me back here for and I helped this poor man see his daughter again. My task here is complete, I will return to the reserve probably for a while before leaving.

Esme: Jacob, what happened with Bella...

Jacob: It was legitimate, I would kill anyone who did that to my daughter. It's time for our paths to part now.

Carlisle: You will always be welcome among us Jacob, we will not forget everything you have done for this family. Are you sure you're not going to stay even a little?

Jacob: It'll be fine for me.

"If you go then I'll come with you…" Danielle said as she got in front of the bike.

Jacob: You should stay here, it's your family now.

Danielle: And You're the one I want to be with.

He got off the motorcycle and looked at Emmett who was on the balcony with Rosalie and to the vampire's surprise, Jacob threw him the key to his motorcycle.

Jacob: Take care of this little gem for me Emmett. You can help the little one make some when she's older.

Emmett: You have my word, Jacob.

He took Danielle's hand, they greeted the others before leaving hand in hand through the woods at accelerated speed.

Jacob had already told Leah and Seth to go to the reservation before him.
