Chapter one

"I do." Renesmee said in her bell-like voice. She looked so beautiful in the ruffled white satin dress, with her thick red curls around her exquisite face. It was so strange. I still perfectly remembered the toddler she had been only five years ago, but now she looked like a seventeen year old. Jacob gazed into her eyes as he said: "I do." He looked great in the white tux that contrasted with his dark skin. "I now pronounce you husband and wife." Mr. Weber said.

As far as the inhabitants of Forks knew, Jacob had found Renesmee on his holidays in Spain, and she had come to America to live with him. They would go together to the university of Alaska, so everybody could see Renesmee once, as they wouldn't see her ever again. They would go there together with the rest of our family.

Suddenly, a vision hit me. I had a déjà vu. The Volturi were coming for us. Again. Edward had seen it, too. He had to tell the others. I couldn't do it. But first, we had to look human until the wedding was over. It was the longest wedding of my life, and that's really something.

When finally everyone was gone, Edward started speaking. "The Volturi have recovered from their shock. They aren't going to seek a reason anymore. They are coming for us. They need two months to prepare themselves, though. We need to roundup all our friends from last time, and a lot of nomads." Carlisle was the first to speak. Rose and Emmett, you should go to the Amazons. Esme and I will take the Egyptians, because I think Amun will be the most reluctant. Alice and Jasper will go to the Irish coven, and Bella and Edward will search for nomads. Nessie and Jake will stay here and wait for everyone we send."

Everybody was already upstairs, changing into more comfortable running clothes. In a minute, everyone was ready to leave, though Bella and Edward were reluctant to leave Renesmee behind with Jacob, knowing how they would use their first alone time after the wedding. Emmett laughed openly at them. Jazz and I gazed into each other's eyes, fearing that after our long lives together, there would come a separation. Carlisle had Tanya on the phone; they would come here as soon as possible.

We hugged everyone goodbye, and started running. Jasper and I were going to swim to Ireland. If there would be any ships around, we would just dive as deep as possible into the water. I could see that we wouldn't have any trouble with the Irish coven; they would follow as back without hesitation. Jasper and I didn't have to talk, we just held hands and ran for the water. We already had the permission to cross Sam's land, and so we ran into the water straight away.

I searched each of our futures. Em and Rose would succeed, and Benjamin and Tia would follow Carlisle and Esme. Amun wasn't going to endanger his or Kebi's life, but Benjamin and Tia had added a small blond boy to their coven. I couldn't see Bella and Edward's future, as it included Nahuel, and I couldn't see Nessie's and Jacob's future, as always, and to tell the truth, I really wasn't interested. The water felt warm to me, and I could feel Jasper swimming next to me. I could feel his anxiousness, and he, of course, felt mine.

The journey continued without trouble, as I had foreseen. We reached the coast of Ireland, and I could see that we would find Siobhan and her coven if we ran North. We reached them in half an hour. Maggie was the most pleased to see us again, but Siobhan and Liam also came with us without hesitation and we all swam back.

Em and Rose were already there, and Senna, Zafrina and Kachiri were grouped around Renesmee, surprised by how big she already was. Tanya stood with them, but Kate, Carmen, Eleazar and Garrett, who had the same golden eyes as everyone else, were discussing our chances against the Volturi. Carlisle and company would arrive in just a few hours' time. Jazz joined their discussion, and I went to chat with Em and Rose.

Emmett was excited, as always, and when I looked at Rosalie's future, I saw that she was undecided about whether she would change into something more elegant, or wear practical clothes. I was desperate to do something, and so I went to the computer to design some practical-but-elegant clothes for Rose, Nessie and myself. I probably could give them to all women that were helping us.

When I was almost done, Carlisle, Esme and some of the Egyptians finally arrived. The boy I had seen was called Sebastian. He seemed nice, and had a lot of spare energy, that he could share through his gift. Carlisle said: "The last time you all were here, we asked you to witness so the Volturi would listen. This time, we know a fight is inevitable. We ask you to fight with us. The Volturi are just searching for power, they aren't keepers of the law anymore. "We fight!" Everyone chorused. Jacob added: "When I say we, I mean both packs of course."

After that, we decided to have a training session, and divided up into pairs. I was with Senna, and she was obviously a better fighter, but, as I could predict all her moves, I won. When the training session was over, Sebastian provided all of us that were mentally exhausted with new energy.

We were barely back at the house, when Bella and Edward came back. They brought eleven nomads. Some of them I didn't recognize. There was a small black haired girl that looked Chinese, and two boys. One of them had long, lightbrown hair, and the other slightly shorter blond hair. Bella introduced everyone. "This is Jin" She pointed at the girl, "this is Romeo", the long haired boy, "and this is Joachym." the other boy. "Romeo, Jin and Joachym, this is our family, Carlisle and Esme, Rosalie and Emmett, Jasper and Alice and Jacob and Renesmee. Renesmee is a half-human, half-vampire, just like Nahuel. These are our cousins from Denali, Tanya, Kate and Garrett and Carmen and Eleazar. These are our friends from Ireland, Siobhan and Liam and Maggie. The Egyptians, Benjamin and Tia and Sebastian. The Amazons, Senna, Zafrina and Kachiri. And to those who don't know them: Stefan and Vladimir, Peter and Charlotte, Nahuel and Huilen and Mary and Randall."

Jacob grumbled: "And where's my index? I want an alphabetically arranged index, and next to everyone his or her gift." "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Jin can make objects move just with her mind, and Joachym can shoot fire from his palms." Bella said. Jacob groaned.

I decided to ask the women about the clothes. "I have designed some practical-but-elegant women's clothes, anybody interested?" As expected, Rosalie immediately raised her hand. Renesmee and Maggie followed. After that, Kate, Carmen and Tanya. Even little Jin shyly raised her hand. "That makes eight, and of course Bella wants them too, so that makes nine." Bella glared at me. I ran to the computer, and sent the design to my favourite dressmaker. I immediately received an order acceptance. They would send me the clothes as soon as possible.
