Night and Day - Twilight Saga - Jacob and Renesmee

I Am Chief

Nessie and I both glanced at each other in bewilderment. Aro had known Ephraim's power, and would use it to his advantage as long as Ephraim was willing to provide him with the visions. It seemed if asked, then Ephraim would show your own future. Nessie decided to test the theory and spoke to Ephraim.

"Ephraim, can you show me what you would like for mommy to see?"

Nessie waited patiently, and within a few moments, she was smiling and released a giggle. She placed her hand over her mouth to cover her infectious laugh. I wondered what visions he had shown her.

"What did he show you?" Curiosity was eating at me, and Nessie wasn't quick to share.

"You'll find out soon enough, Jacob."

Knowing the future seemed an advantage, but I wasn't so sure I wanted to know everything either. I convinced myself to let my life run its course, and I wouldn't inquire about what Ephraim showed Nessie. Besides, Nessie seemed jubilant, so I trusted the vision was perfect.

Nessie and our time were interrupted by a tapping sound outside the window. I saw pea size pebbles flying into the room, and at times, it would strike the window. I stuck my head out the window and didn't see Seth.

"Nessie, I have to go. It's getting late. I'll be back whenever I can. We're just waiting and soon all this will be over with."

I held her in my arms and kissed her. She had a hard time letting me go, but eventually released her arms around me. She stepped back a few steps and watched me climb out the window. My feet planted softly onto the concrete floors. Before I had a chance to look up, my vision went blurry and dark. I heard the all too familiar sound with the conniving laugh of Aro.

"Of course you would come to her rescue. You love sick hero. Demetri, take him into the south wing dungeon. Make sure his other wolf friend isn't in close quarters with him."

I woke up with a massive throbbing in my head. The last thing I remembered was Aro giving commands to Demetri. The floors were cold and wet. I heard the dripping sound of water from a nearby drain pipe that created a trail of water onto the floors. The room was dark and there was no light in any direction. The walls were made of stone and smelled of mildew. I got up to the door and it was bolted shut and seemed to be over a foot thick. I used all the strength I had to kick it, but it barely made a dent into the door. The stone walls were just as hard to create any dent. I then heard a repetitive thumping sound. I took off my clothes and transformed into a wolf.

Seth. Where are you? I'm sorry. Sorry I got you into this. Answer me if you can hear me.

Jacob. I'm exhausted. I've been trying to break these walls and door down, but it's too thick. I'm sorry I wasn't able to warn you in time. Demetri came out of nowhere and took me out.

It's okay, Seth. We'll get out of here. I know we will.

How?

I don't know how, but I know because of Ephraim. He showed me a vision and this is NOT the last thing I'm going to see.

We both heard the repetitive thumping sound again. We both thought it was each other, but clearly it was someone else.

Jacob! It's Leah. It's the rhythm to the lullaby she sang to me when I was a baby. They're here!

Seth, respond to her. Play it back so she'll know we're still here.

I heard Seth tapping the same rhythm back and then there was silence. Either they heard our response or there was something wrong. Either way, they knew. I felt responsible for getting Seth and us into this position. I had to get us out somehow. I didn't know if Nessie and Ephraim were safe either. Would Aro take his anger out on them? Either way, I had to get out here sooner than later.
