Mission... Impossible - 3 months ago

[Nessa]

-she hadn't been able to get back to sleep after that. And she hadn't had any relief from her parents incessant nagging either. They had burst into the bedroom, turning on the light and all but jumping on her with worry. She had finally convinced them that it was okay, just a nightmare, but they had still kept a careful eye on her after that.-

-she knew that Papa had a file on Nahuel; they had done so much research on him and Ness knew what she needed to do- find that file, contact Nahuel and figure out where to go from there. Something inside of her told her to do it.-

-so she had waited until Papa and everyone else were gone and slipped into his office to search through his files. She had searched through the drawers, searched through the cabinets and the closet, but she hadn't found anything. The only thing left....-

-her eyes went to his computer and she debated; she knew he had nothing password locked because he trusted everyone. Before she could second guess herself, she turned on the computer and waited for it to boot up. It only took a moment for it to pop up, and only a moment longer for her to rifle through the files until she found the file she was looking for - Nahuel. A few more buttons pressed and the files printed out; a couple of minutes later and that's when it hit... the guilt. She was betraying her Papa, and her family, by doing this. But she had to know, had to talk to Nahuel so she could understand what was going on. Her powers growing stronger by the day, her hunger growing too.-

-she folded the files as small as she could and slipped them into the pocket of her jeans before grabbing her phone and dialing the number, anxiously waiting for him to pick up.-

[Nahuel]

He felt the phone rumble in his pant pocket, the one Carlisle had urged him to have so they may stay in constant contact. It was odd trying to learn to use the contraption but he and Huilen had wanted to rejoin society and stop living in secret, seeing how the Cullens' lived made that dream possible. Five years later he was somewhat normal. Pressing the button that always connected him, he answered. It was early morning in South America, the number unrecognizable. <Hello?> He said into the phone, waiting to see who was on the other end.

[Nessa]

-her throat went dry when he spoke and a slight blush crossed her face. So strange; she hadn't seen him since she was little, but she could clearly see his face and his voice.... it sounded like melted chocolate. She shook her head and frowned; she had Jake. Jake was hers, she was his. That's all that mattered.-

Nahuel? I.... It's Nes, I mean... Renesmee. How are you?

[Nahuel]

Nahuel couldn't help but smile at her voice, it sounded like music; a beautiful melody of it's own that could only be described as soft and pure. <Ren..esmee. Yes, *clears throat* I remember. I'm...great, how are you? Nothing has happened I hope.> He worried, the last contact he'd had with Carlisle had been about her growth and development. She aged fast...really fast. From what he'd heard she looked to be seventeen and was only in the fifth year of birth.

[Nessa]

-she blushed again, then mentally chided herself- I'm wonderful, thanks for asking. Listen, I can't talk long. My Papa will be back in a minute and I'm not supposed to have your phone number. -she walked to the wall facing the woods; it was nothing but glass so that her Papa could look out into the trees and see the sunset. He loved it in here.-

I need to know.... about your "power". How fast did it happen? Did it grow? What can you do? -so many questions, so little time-

[Nahuel]

<My...power? I'm not sure I follow...Renesmee are you sure you're okay?> Something sounded off about her. He couldn't help but wonder what she looked like now, oh but he shouldn't think that. Carlisle mentioned her being imprinted on, whatever that meant.

[Nessa]

-she frowned- Your power. You know, your 'ability' or whatever? Like my dad can hear people's thoughts and Alice sees visions. Jasper can make you happy even when you want to kick someone's head in. Rose is just.... Rose. -she shook her head- You really don't know what I mean? And I.... I don't know if I'm okay, Nahuel. I'm freaking out if I'm totally honest! -she couldn't shut up now-

I'm having dreams and hearing thoughts. Jake used to love my mom, I saw that in a dream. And I just... I don't know what to do anymore. I need to get away.

[Nahuel]

He listened to her ramble on and on about what was happening as he tried to keep up. <Renes--but--> He was getting cut off as she continued to speak. Eyes widening as he ran a hand over his eyes. What did he say? He didn't have a...power. Did he? He'd never tried.

"I need to get away"

<Away? To where? Why?> He was trying to understand it all, Jacob loved Bella? Who? What?

[Nessa]

Just away! -why couldn't he understand? She needed out, needed to be able to breathe even for a moment! Just to be able to see for herself if she could survive without Jake, without her family babying her all the damn time. She shook her head again and let out an exasperated sigh- Just... How can I stay here when I know that my boyfriend-that-everyone-expects-me-to-marry-because-he-imprinted-me used to love my mom!

[Nahuel]

His eyes widened and he shook his head. Well, he wasn't expecting that. <You can...come here? I mean if that helps you.> Sensing her anxiety about it all and realizing she was really going through a hard time. <I promised you five years ago I'd always be there if you needed, and I'll keep that promise Renesmee.>

[Nessa]

-she nodded and let out a breath she hadn't realize she had been holding- Thanks, Nahuel. I..... -she froze- Oh.... Oh God, I gotta go. I'll text you soon, okay? Bye, Nahuel and... Thank you. -she quickly shut the phone and stuffed it back in her pocket, closed out the windows on the computer, shut off the screen and bolted for the bookshelf, right as Papa walked into the room-

Heya, Papa C. I was.... just... What are you doing back? -she gave him her most innocent smile and batted her eyelashes a bit-

[Carlisle Cullen]

He walked into his office and noticed Nessa standing at his bookshelf breathing a little too heavily that gave away something...strange. "I'm...going to check my emails. Is..that okay?" He looked her over and wondered why she looked as if she had a secret. "Everything okay? I heard talking..."

[Nessa]

-she shook her head- Oh, no everything's fine. I was just... changing my voicemail message! I needed a book and just... yeah. -she walked to him and wrapped her arm around his waist, smiling up at him- How are you and Gramma? Everything okay? When are you leaving to go to Alaska? -she tried to shut up but had a hard time of it; she had a tendency to ramble when she was nervous. Took a deep breath and reached over to hold down the button to turn off the computer, then turned it back on-

Heyyyy, I'm so awesome I turned on your computer for you. -she grinned at him again and spun around.-

[Carlisle Cullen]

He chuckled and shook his head, not needing any special gifts to see through her lying. He could always tell when his grand-daughter lied. But what position was he in to push her for information. "I'm coming to check our flights and reservations now. I can tell she needs a break, but she's hesitant to leave the family. Don't worry, I'll take care of her. Now you run along and do whatever it was you were doing." He smiled and secretly wondered what had her so...high strung.

[Nessa]

Okay! -she grinned at him, spun around again and stood on her tiptoes to kiss his forehead.- Love you! Tell Gramma I love her too. I'm gonna just... go..... find something to do. -she grinned and all but bolted out the door, down the stairs and out to her tree-house. She needed to be by herself for a bit, to call Nahuel and set up a time for them to meet up. And plan how to say goodbye to her family.-
