Ferocity
My arms were wrapped tightly around my daughter's sleeping body, my hand held her hand to my neck watching her dream peacefully; the colors swirling around each other in mesmerizing patterns.
A couple of weeks had passed since the Volturi's recent "visit". As time moved on, the house settled into its usually calm façade. Nessie finally seemed to be out of the reach of the oncoming danger that seemed it would not sleep until it plucked her away from my life forever.
I wouldn't let that happen.
My arms tightened involuntarily, as if they were in agreement with my thoughts.
The house was quiet, except for the conversation coming from upstairs, and the light snoring coming from the back of Jacobs' throat on the white couch.
Edward was out hunting with Carlisle, Rosalie, Emmett, and Esme. Jasper and Alice were upstairs murmuring quietly to themselves. I would be out hunting with them, had Nessie not been sleeping.
The day was coming to a close, the clouds had moved out of the skies way - a first in quite a while – and the sky was a dazzling show of bright pinks and oranges, the faint blue coming in from the east. I sighed quietly. The day was coming to a close for all humans. For me, it wasn't even close. I smiled deviously to myself, with the sudden want twisting in my stomach, congruent with my impatient wait for Edwards return.
One low chuckle came from upstairs, then a whisper so low, even my ears couldn't pick up what it was, followed by a trilling giggle.
Jasper had picked up on my sudden mood change.
My head turned to the left instinctively when a change in noise arose. Esme was the first out, twisting into a delicate summersault over the river. Carlisle right behind her, jumping lightly over the clear waters. Emmett came out with Rosalie on his shoulders, her arms wrapped around his neck giggling. Edward came out right behind them in his stunning form. He smiled beautifully once he saw me. I rolled my eyes.
Heacted like he was the lucky one. His leap was fluid and exact as his feet touched the grass. Perfect. No, not even that. He was the absolute, uttermost form of perfection. Possibly even more. And he was mine.
I couldn't help the gloating smile that fabricated on my face.
Esme smiled at me as she walked in; her hand in Carlisle's. Rosalie ducked her head down under the doorframe as Emmett walked in with ease, his euphoria radiating off him, as always.
Then Edward came in. I smiled from ear to ear. Jacob was awake now and I settled Nessie into his now waiting arms. Edwards arms were around me in an instant and I couldn't help but feeling sensuous as I pressed my body against his. His lips were on my throat and he chuckled as he registered my obvious yearning. His soft lips pressed to mine gently, my arms tight on his neck.
Too perfect, I thought to myself.
And then, too soon, he pushed me away gently, but keeping his hand on my waist. I understood. This definitely wasn't the time and place. I smiled up at him, tracing my finger on his lips. There would be more time later.
Alice danced down the stairs, Jasper right behind her. Emmett snorted lightly before nudging Rose lightly in the arm.
"They need to be shown how it's done," He whispered into her ear, but loud enough for me to hear. I couldn't help but snarl at him, while Edward only smiled.
Alice was frowning at Jacob.
"Your whole pack has erased all of tomorrow for me!" She growled. Jacob only shrugged lightly, careful not to jostle the sleeping baby in his arms.
"What can I say? They need to be here. You might be taking it easy with the Volturi but we're not taking any chances."
Another growl from Alice. "They're not coming back!"
"It's just a precaution…" I wonder if anyone else noticed how he glanced down at Nessie. Jasper was uneasy by her side, almost slipping into a half crouch. He wasn't one to keep calm when Alice's temper was starting to flare.
Edward patted his pixie sister's arm. "It's alright Alice. I doubt the Volturi are planning anything so soon." Alice glared at her brother in frustration.
"It makes me feel vulnerable… I can't see." Emmett scoffed behind us.
"Do you really doubt us that much?" Of course he would be up for any challenge, even if it lacked the advantage of Alice's visions. Alice gave a quiet hmph.
"So be it. Jasper, let's hunt," Jasper nodded once and followed her small body out the back door.
Carlisle and Esme went upstairs, while I took Nessie from Jacobs's arms. She had grown more, not even looking so much as a toddler anymore. Her beautiful perfection astounded me every day, while her childlike features faded further, showing more of my human features, though she looked most like Edward while she was sleeping.
Edward sat next to me, his arm tight on my waist.
"Do you think we should take her home?" He whispered. I got up in a swift motion, Edward right next to me.
"Guess I'll be heading home too." Jacob yawned, stretching out his back. He smiled once at me and kissed Nessie on her forehead before taking off at a dead sprint out the front door. Edward took me by my free hand, my other arm cradling Nessie.
We ran quickly, but Nessie was never shaken. Edward pushed the door open to our cottage in a swift motion. Nessie was settled into her bed, and Edward and I walked to our room silently, though our intentions were the same.
He stroked my eyelid with his finger.
"Your eyes are changing… Almost gold." He murmured. I quivered under his touch.
"Almost." I breathed. It was true, just a few more weeks and I'd be able to lose the contacts. There was still an orange tint to the gold, to unnatural.
"Very beautiful," He breathed. He was playing it cool, though his voice was taking a husky turn. "You're tame in some ways, while uncontrollable in others…" He spoke into my ear in a seductive velvet tone.
That cut it. With a growl, I pulled his mouth to mine, and within seconds we were on the floor, our clothes already laying in pieces on the ground next to us.
--
The morning sun soon brought us back to reality, his lips parting from mine. We never really kept track of time, but it had to be around eight. Nessie would be awake soon. He seemed to notice my hesitation and pulled back farther to get a better look at me, smiling at me all the while. My first guess was that my expression had to be one that was extremely satisfied but not yet fulfilled. But then again, I would never be content with just one night of Edward.
I sighed and got up to my feet, pulling him with me.
"Alice has been a little tense lately. Is something bothering her?" I asked as I dressed into jeans and a light blue button-up shirt. He was already changed into his khaki shorts and white t-shirt.
"She's been having glimpses… She's frustrated because there's no indicated time, and she has no idea what it will bring, or who will even be involved. These glimpses come to her, without her even looking for them. She thinks they mean something. And, well, you know Alice."
"What do you think?" I asked him, a worried expression staining my face. He smiled and smoothed the crease between my eyebrows with his fingers.
"I've seen them too, but they're almost blank. She thinks that her visions are faltering. It doesn't seem too drastic. I doubt it's anything we should worry about at the moment." He explained taking my hand. I nodded.
It seemed a very logical thing to be worried about. Alice's visions were a very practical but necessary part in our life that we had gotten accustomed to. Powers were something, reliable and also at times, incredibly necessary. To the vampires who had them anyways. My shield, at the time, had seemed completely useless, but when it came hand-to-hand, it was what had saved us all when the Volturi had come to ensure our utter demise. I shuddered delicately at the thought, marveling at how close to death we had come.
I gently lifted Renesmee from her bed, careful not to wake her. It was usually a good thing to have Nessie back at the house; she usually woke up hungry, whether she had to deal with donated blood or animal blood.
We ran slower than usual; there really was no need to be in a rush anymore.
The living room was empty when we walked in, all except the sound of Jacob in the kitchen, rummaging through the fridge. Carlisle walked down the stairs, a large book in his hand.
"Good morning Edward, Bella." He smiled at us.
"Where is everyone else?" I asked, settling Nessie down on the couch, her bronze curls strewn all over her perfect, dreaming face.
"Emmett is in the garage with Rosalie, working on his Jeep." Carlisle answered, walking to sit next to Nessie. A sharp growl came from upstairs and Edward sighed. Alice was having more glimpses I assumed. Jacob walked out of the kitchen with a ham and cheese hot pocket in his right hand. He smiled when he saw Nessie, curled up, sleeping.
"Hey Bells." He greeted. I smiled. Although I was still a little bit against the whole Jake-imprinting-on-my-daughter thing, my resentment was a bit contemplated by the extra safety Nessie would now have. Vampires and werewolves.
"Morning Jake." I answered with a smile. He sighed and walked around to the back of the couch to be behind Nessie.
"How long has she been sleeping?" I giggled. Jacob always wanted every single detail about my daughter's life. He found it vitally interesting and important. But since Nessie was the object of his imprinting, I couldn't blame him.
"Since last night when you watched her fall asleep." I smiled at him again. My relationship with Jacob had become even stronger after the Volturi incident. He smiled back at me and I could tell we were on the same page. I looked up at Edward and my first reaction was bewilderment.
His perfect face was twisted into a strange expression of confusion. How odd. This didn't seem like a time for confusion. Then again, he was a mind reader.
Then, four earsplitting howls broke through both mine and Edwards silent but perplexed appearances. Jacob walked slowly to the door, his eyebrow cocked, his hands shaking. He turned to look back at Edward.
"Do you know what's going on Edward?" He asked. Again, Jacob using Edwards name without bitterness took me off guard.
"Just the sound of approach…" Edward answered, his gaze off as he listened to the wolves' thoughts.
"How many?" Jacob growled, now hovering over Nessie's sleeping body in a defensive position. I was still confused. I hadn't had time to process this yet.
So someone -or something- was coming. Edward hadn't said if they were vampire or human or werewolf. Or any other type of mythological creature. Obviously it wasn't human… The werewolves wouldn't have set off an alarm if it was human.
"Two…" He answered after a few seconds of silence.
My breathing hitched. Edward also hadn't said if they were friendly… Or dangerous.
"What are they?" Jacob snarled. Edward answered immediately.
"Vampires. The wolves aren't close enough to resolve if they're familiar or not. Jacob, tell them to calm down. It might be someone we know." Jacob growled, before another shudder shook his whole massive frame.
"I'm not going anywhere!" He all but shrieked. Edward began to protest before Seth's tan body slipped out of the brush in quite a hurry it seemed. He whined unsteadily, obviously wanting Jacobs's attention. Jacob walked to the door in a quick pace.
"Tell them to take it slow. We don't know who it is." He instructed Seth. Seth nodded his big head before letting out a huff and running back into the trees.
I took Edwards hand looking up at his face while he read at what was happening. Jacobs's eyes scanned the windows, and every now and then his hands would twitch toward Nessie like he wanted to grab her and make a run for it.
A few seconds passed and Edward let out a fierce growl.
"Edward? Edward, what's wrong?" I asked panicked. Jacob let out a growl that echoed Edwards.
Emmett and Alice were the only one's in the room with us now. Emmett was waiting by the windows, his lips pressed into a hard line like he wanted to smile.
Stupid Emmett. Of course he would want this, he loved all challenges. I scowled at him without thinking.
Alice was glaring at Jacob with an I told you so expression. I randomly wondered why the rest of the family wasn't here. Were they not aware of the obvious danger? Were they taking up a defensive position? Were they waiting outside already to fight off whoever had come?
Edward pulled me around him so the he was standing in front of me, his hand tight on mine, his expression fierce and brutal.
I heard two sets of feet running towards us at an incredible speed. Probably fleeing from the wolves. But they were headed in this direction. Eight more quick steps up the stairs, and four more across the porch.
Edward swung the door open before they could even knock.
My curiosity got the best of me and I cautiously leaned around Edward. I caught sight of the two vampires standing in my doorway.
The snarl that ripped up my throat was deafening.
