Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 : Searching for Witnesses

While everyone watched with varying expectations, Rosalie sat in front of Jacob and waited impatiently for him to give her his blood.

 « Are you ready ? Be quick because my regeneration is extremely fast. » Jacob warned as Rosalie quickly nodded.

Immediately, Jacob's canines lengthened and he bit his wrist which Rosalie quickly grabbed to drink and in just two sips, the wound had closed.

Jacob moved away to watch her with the others as Rosalie looked like she was enjoying the blood she had just drunk.

Emmett: Rose, how are you feeling?

Rosalie: (keeps her eyes closed) It's...it's hard to describe. Jacob's blood is without doubt the most delicious I have tasted and I can feel a pleasant, warm electric current invading my body.

Carlisle: Has your thirst increased?

Rosalie: (smiles) No Carlisle...it's even the opposite, it's the first time I've felt that way again and the last time I was still human.

Bella: How do you feel, Rose?

"I'm full…for once in so long I'm not thirsty!! A human could bleed a torrent of blood and it wouldn't even bother me." She said while laughing like a child.

Carlisle: Unbelievable...

Jacob and Danielle looked at each other with shared smiles before holding hands. Rosalie opened her eyes and immediately took Jacob, a little embarrassed, in her arms, thanking him again and again, if she could she would be crying.

Jacob: It's just a test, tomorrow we will observe if any changes occur and see to what extent to continue.

While this news sounds great, we must not forget the threat of the Volturi that hangs over our family. Carlisle, when are you going to get your witnesses?

Others :…

Jacob: Why this silence?

Esmee: Jake, you just said "our family"!!

"Forget it, it's...a mistake" He said lowering his head in embarrassment as the Cullens looked at him smiling.

He was with Danielle who was technically suited by the Cullens and he intended deep down to marry her later.

Jacob: Seriously, what are our options against them?

Carlisle: Their offensive weapons are far too powerful, Jake you are by far the strongest among us but I don't believe that even you could resist the power Jane's power or her brother Alec. Combat is clearly not our first option.

Jacob: Be more specific.

Edward: Jane has the power to inflict immense physical pain on someone at will and Alec can generate a mist that can rob people of their five senses it's a terrifying paralysis. They also have guards who are very well trained in combat like Felix.

Carlisle: I have friends all over the world but our closest cousins ​​from the Denali clan are in Alaska. Edward, Bella and you will go convince them with Renesmee.

The rest of the family and I will go find the others. I will only ask them to be my witnesses and not to fight, they are my friends and I will put them at too great a risk. We will leave tomorrow.

"You'll go with Emmett and Rosalie to monitor the changes in her , I will call you to give me an update on the situation." Jacob told Danielle.

Danielle: I'm going to miss you.

Jacob: Just come back to me quickly.

The next day while everyone was getting ready, Sam came to deliver a letter from Alice who had left with Jasper passing through the wolves' territory where they met him.

"Gather the witnesses before the snow settles on the ground, that's when they will come" was Alice's message on the page of a book.

Rosalie: They abandoned us!?

Jacob: You know your sister, does that look like her?

Bella: That's not Alice's type.

Emmett: Neither does Jasper.

Carlisle: They may have gone looking for someone who could help us.

Esme: A witness we don't know? Why hide it from us?

Jacob: If they haven't told you anything it may be for your safety or for the purpose of their departure. You know them better than me but time is running out, I have to come back and take care of the wolves.

Edward: Anything urgent with them?

Jacob: Our powers are triggered by your contact, when all the witnesses from Carlisle are there, there will be a huge chance that new wolves will appear among the young people and I must take care of it with Sam. I have my sympathy with you but I also have a duty to my people and with all these new vampires here, there will be the question of their nutrition. I'm not naive enough to believe that everyone has an animal diet like you.

Esme: Carlisle he's right.

Edward: They will definitely have to hunt and that's a problem.

Danielle: I worked at the Seattle hospital, I could go there and bring back blood bags.

Carlisle: I can't approve of that as a doctor, patients will definitely need it.

Jacob: Let's save that for plan B. If a little of my blood has been able to fully satisfy Rosalie so far and if her results are good, then we will feed them with my blood.

Bella: Jake, would you do that?

Jacob: It's just a little blood and they're friends from Carlisle. It's not much and the stakes are high. I don't want your guests' hunger to spoil your family.

 « I am sincerely touched by the esteem you have for me and my family Jacob, I thank you with all my heart. » Carlisle told Jacob and they shook hands.

As everyone was separating, Jacob came to Rosalie and gave her a small vial containing his blood in case there was a problem with her thirst and she thanked him for it.

They all separated and even Bree left with Carlisle and Esmee, she was considered the youngest of the family before Renesmee.
