Heyaa! This is, I guess, Edward's version of "The Battle"-starting at Pg. 722 and ending at Pg. 741- in Breaking Dawn.
Drumroll, please? (xD) Nah, it's not that awesome. Go ahead, read, and review, though please! Hope you enjoy it.
I dooon't own 'The Twilight Saga', but Stephenie Meyer does! :D
Chapter 1: Hope Fading
"Let us counsel." "Let us counsel," Caius' voice was laced with eagerness, but Marcus' was laced with pure boredom. Aro turned-his back to us-to face his brothers, joining their hands and forming a small triangle.
From my peripheral vision I noticed Bella untangling Renesmee's hands from around her neck, putting her down on her own two feet, and kneeled infront of her-gently clutching her small face. "You remember what I told you?" Bella murmered. Renesmee nodded and whispered, "I love you." I closed my eyes shut and tried to keep the pain of watching the two most-important people in my world saying goodbye to each other, at bay. Quickly opening my eyes, and reverting my gaze to them, my eyes turned wide. My baby girl was teary-eyed, grabbing onto her mother with all her strength, while my love's eyes told me that she was trying to refrain from running away with our daughter, away from all the dangers of the damned-world we lived in. "I love you, too," Bella said, touching the locket around Renesmee's neck. "More than my own life," she added, kissing her forehead. My features contorted in pain, while Jacob whined from the sidelines. 'They shouldn't be saying goodbye, Edward. It hurts even seeing them say goodbye.' "I know, Jacob," I answered quietly. Bella whispered softly, trying not to attract attention."Wait until they're totally distracted, then run with her. Get as far from this place as you possibly can. When you've gone as far as you can on foot, she has what you need to get you in the air." I'm sure my face was showing complete horror, as Jacob's was too, at the moment. 'I can't possibly leave you all here to fight them off. What if we...never see you again?What if...Damn it, Bella, have some hope! You're killing us here-your husband and I, both!' Jacob looked at me, his face showing disbelief.Renesmee's thoughts showed a memory of Bella preparing a bag for her. Throwing in a supple amount of cash, a few enveloped letters, and a piece of paper that said 'Rio de Janeiro'. I knew my love was keeping something from me these past few weeks, and I was very curious, but didn't pry. I trusted her, and wanted to wait until she told me herself. I now somewhat understood her secretive actions. My own little family-and myself-were too cooped up in our own little bubble and thoughts, that I did not notice the others hadn't been completely oblivious to our 'farewell scene'. Jacob obviously wasn't the only one having inner ramblings, though.
'You technically just got them both, Ed...What a cruel, cruel world.' Rolling my eyes was an acceptable motion at this point. Emmett's thought was moronic but right, in a way.
'What will happen to us, what will happen to Renesmee? Where is Alice, when we need her? When she needs to be here!' Rose thought.
'My son...his family...my family.' Esme cried, her thoughts jumping from one thought to another.
Leaving their thoughts unanswered, I moved closer to Bella and Renesmee. My daughter reached for me, and I took her in my arms, holding her tightly. "This is what you kept from me?" I whispered, looking at Bella. "From Aro," she said, quite breathlessly. "Alice?" I asked again. It was pretty obvious. Alice had to have helped with this, Bella was too shaken to be able to have made a 'runaway exit' plan for our daughter at the time. She nodded. I thanked God, and Alice-wherever she was-for thinking of our daughter. At least, if we didn't make it, our little princess had to live. 'I don't understand...getting kinda confused here! What about Aro and Alice?' Jacob thought, growling and stalking, his body rigid with stress. I turned my attention to Renesmee, kissing her cheeks and forehead. 'Daddy, I don't want to go. I don't want to leave you and Momma, but she said I have to go with Jake. I love you and Momma, Daddy. Forever.' She thought. Pain convulsed through me, not being able to bear letting her go. I'm sure Bella and I felt the exact same way, even though she wasn't able to hear what our daughter thought. I lifted her onto Jacob's shoulder where she scrambled, grabbing onto his fur to pull herself in place. 'This isn't right. We're all going to live. We're all going to get out of this alive. C'mon...keep hoping Bella, there has to still be hope!' Jacob whined, butting Bella's shoulder with his nose. "I know." she whispered. "I love you too, Jake. You'll always be my best man." 'I love you too Bella...my best friend.' A massive tear rolled down his eye, falling down into the white snow. I leaned my head on Jake's shoulder, the one where Renesmee sat on. "Goodbye, Jacob, my brother...my son." 'Thank you for everything you've done for Bella, for us both, and now...thank you for wanting to take care of our princess. Keep her safe mongrel, I know you love her just as much as we do.' I thought, unable to refrain from thinking of the old nickname I had for him. 'Bloodsucker, come on...You guys are making me cry!' He thought, but then turned serious. 'I'll keep her safe Edward, I swear. Please, try to get away too. I don't want you guys to...just, try to get away. I won't bear it if Nessie loses you two. She won't be the only sad one, though, really. You know I will be sad too.' I nodded. If we do have a chance to get away, Jake...if we do. "Is there no hope then?" Carlisle asked, his voice not laced with fear, just utter determination and acceptance of what was to happen. I checked the three ancients' thoughts once more, looking for a ray of hope, and coming up with none.
'Edward.. You have to get out of this. Only if we can distract them long enough for you, Bella, Nessie, and Jacob to get away. We have houses in different locations, you know where they are. The bank accounts, access them at any time when you need it. You need to get away, son. Run, and don't stop, hide. You'll have each other, at least. Take care-always, and good luck, son. You know we love you all,' Carlisle thought.
"There is absolutely no hope." I murmered, and looked straight at Bella. My beautful wife. We haven't started our life together here on earth, but when we do get killed, we'll start it together, wherever we may be. Her eyes stared into mine, showing me nothing but love in its purest form-her. "I only know my own fate," she said, still looking at me. I knew what she meant. She was my other half, starting from the beginning, till the end. Just as I was her other half, we completed each other. Her words only meant that when she knew her own fate, she meant our fate. Esme walked slowly, memorizing our faces as she passed by, and finally stopped by Carlisle's side to hold his hand.
'Emmett, Rose...Jasper, Alice...Jake, Renesmee...Bella, Edward...Carlisle, my love. Oh, I can't bear this. My family!' Esme was frantically crying in her head, shouting up to the heavens, asking 'What horrible thing have we done to make you end our happiness, our lives? My family! Please, spare us all!' If I didn't know better, Esme would most likely be writhing on the ground, screaming and crying for us all. We were all just putting on masks of calamity.
Garrett spoke, turning around to Kate ."If we live through this," he whispered,"I'll follow you anywhere, woman." Kate sighed, already knowing what her feelings were. "Now he tells me." The rest of our side finally noticed it was time. Time to say goodbye, for we were all heading straight into our deaths. Bella's gaze broke from mine for a moment, staring around at every one of our family members, then turned her gaze back to mine.
'We shouldn't have to spare these savages! They're like every other miserable excuse for an existance! We should end them, kill them all now!' Caius thought.
I snarled under my needed to cleanse Caius' mind, take all the hate away from him. He was the savage, the most miserable excuse for an existance from us all.
'I really don't see why we shouldn't just leave. She's not an immortal child, apparently. No harm caused then,' huffed Marcus, completely uninterested.
'We shall see what will happen.' Aro thought, immediately raising his hand as a signal to the whole guard. Slight excitement moved through their side, causing our side to stir.
"Get ready," my love whispered, her voice grave, "It's starting."
Enjoy it? Hate it? Think I have something to change and improve on? Tell mee pleasee! :)
