Chapter Five: Aftermath

Had a Cullen been there and conscious, they could have stopped him, but Jacob was not that fast. Before Jacob even knew what had happened, the Doctor was up and headed towards his TARDIS. Jacob made to run after him and stop him, but found a door slammed in his face. Then, next thing he knew, a loud grinding sound filled his ears and the box simply faded out of existence.

The Doctor watched Jacob from his screen in the TARDIS console room. He didn't want to run, he really didn't, but the danger was too great. Vampire venom was lethal to him and he'd been lucky already and had no desire to push his luck any further. Rose would kill him if he came back regenerated.

It didn't help any knowing what his blood would do to the other vampires. Renesmee was lucky to be a venom-less hybrid, but the others . . . he couldn't even think of it. He hated causing death but it seemed to follow him everywhere he went. At least Rose hadn't been there to see it.

"Rose! How could I forget!"

He slapped his forehead and danced around the console flipping switches and turning knobs. He had to hurry back to Pluto. Last time he left for a side adventure, Rose had not been happy, even though she'd been a statue the whole time and hadn't even noticed.

As he hit the last button, he looked down at the blue suit he'd been experimenting with and noticed it was completely ruined. It was a tattering of cloth caked in blood underserving of the title—or even suggestion—of clothing.

"I can't go back looking like this. I'd best change." After attempting to run his fingers through his hair, he amended, "and take a shower."

With that, the Doctor left the console room and headed deep into the TARDIS, the incident already far from his mind.

Back in Alaska, the only thing for Jacob to do was to try and wake up Renesmee. He'd figured Edward was a lost cause—and even if he wasn't, Jacob's lack of information about vampire health would do little good. At least Jacob could help Renesmee's human side until the others arrived. Until then, it was all he could do.

Jacob need not wait long. Before Jacob could work himself up into a true panic, the others arrived. They were shocked into place upon arrival, all but Bella.

Bella, seeing her Edward's stone cold face lying unresponsive, knew she had to do something. She ran to her husband and knelt down beside him. She attempted to wake him in the best way she knew how—with a kiss. Only, it didn't work. In fact, it had the opposite effect.

In her haste, Bella hadn't concerned herself with the blood coating Edward's face. In her frustration, she found herself drinking some of the caked on blood. Not much, but it was enough to interact with her venom. Next thing anyone knew, Bella exploded into a huge burst of golden energy.

This burst was what—figuratively—woke Carlisle up and alerted him to the danger of the situation. He'd seen similar occur before, and had hoped to never see such a reaction again.

"Stay away!" Everyone turned toward him, trusting him. "Be wary of the blood. It's not safe for our kind. Jacob, we need to get Renesmee away from here."

With new found determination, Jacob lifted Renesmee up and ran with the Cullens as far away from the blood as she could. He may have just seen his best friend die, but there was still his true love to save.

And he did. Away from the blood, Renesmee got better. The other vampires felt ill as well, but everyone recovered. Eventually, Renesmee told her tale, and everyone mourned Edward and Bella in their own ways. Renesmee was even more determined to marry Jacob—then run away with him—but the others more or less stayed together, all the more careful, for no one else wanted to face the toxic taste of Time Lord.
