Gathering Troops
DanPOV
The skies in Amity park were clear, the sun was shining, and I was stuck chasing after ol' Boxie for the third time today. I mean really! How many times can one ghost find his way out of the Ghost Zone and back to Amity in one freaking' day?!? I was just getting annoyed with him. I couldn't have on simple moment with Sam and Tucker without getting caught up with ghosts. It was a beautiful day and I couldn't enjoy a thing.
I gathered the ecto energy in my hands and tried to nail him, but he avoided them. I was beginning to think he was just fighting me to practice his escape skills, though he still couldn't fight back hardly at all. I was catching up and about to grab him when he suddenly stopped. I zoomed right past him and turned back, ready to brace myself against his own attack, but he was motionless. He seemed like he was in mid-flight and his face was unmoving. I had seen this kind of stillness before and had only one guess. The medallion around my neck only confirmed my thoughts.
"Nice of you to drop by Clockwork. What's the occasion?" I turned to find a middle-aged Clockwork behind me. His mouth twitched up when I said his name, though he was far from happy. He looked almost distressed about something, but he was hiding it well.
"It's good to see you Danny, though this is far from a leisurely visit." I waited for him to speak. He seemed to be debating about something. "Danny," his voice was serious and solemn, "he has escaped." If there was any doubt about me having a heart in this form, it was swept away right then. My heart was pounding in my chest and I felt colder than I normally was. I had feared those words for almost a year now and I had hoped they would never come. He was the only ghost left for me to truly fear any more and I was petrified that he was freed from his prison. Clockwork must have noticed my astonishment because he began to speak again, calmer then before. "The thermos had worn with his constant beating on it's walls. It finally broke and he made his way out of my grasp." I had a thousand questions running through my head, but I was only able to speak of one.
"Where is he now?" Clockwork sighed, as if there was more to the story.
"He plans to destroy the world as he did in the future. This time, however, he is not alone in his quest." This took me by surprise. I hadn't thought of him getting help to destroy the planet. Who would help him?
"Who?" I asked aloud.
"He is gathering an army of sorts. Creatures, ghosts and people who you couldn't even imagine. It seems he is not the only one on this earth with such a dark mind."
"How am I supposed to fight an army of... What exactly are they?"
"They, are things of the human imagination. Creatures that went from history to myth in this realm. You will meet their equals soon enough. You will not be alone in this fight." His answer only put a hundred more questions in my head, but at least I wouldn't have to go alone. But that would only mean others would get hurt through all of this.
"No one else should have to be in danger."
"They are quite capable of taking care of themselves. One has managed his way for 109 years now. I'm some of the others are even greater fighters and have far longer histories. No one will be in more danger than another."
"What exactly am I dealing with here?"
"I cannot say. But since you are so eager to know..." He waved his staff and we were instantly transported out of Amity Park and I was in my human form. I could think of one word to describe this place, gray. It looked like the sun never shined here and the ground seemed saturated with water. I looked down to see the medallion gone and realized time was moving again. I was next to a highway and could see the side of a sign. I went around it and in big bold letters it read, 'Welcome to Forks Washington'. Why the heck was I in Washington? I sighed and made my way down the road and, to my amazement, it started to rain. Perfect.
MaxPOV
Once again, we were on the move. Was it too much to ask for one day without being chased by erasers or getting into some form of trouble. Apparently so. None the less, I was leading us away from the Institute and across the country, again. Thanks to Gazzy's 'fool proof plan' we were now running from a pack of angry, flying, mud-covered erasers. Luckily we were out flying them and they were already beat up and tired from our skirmish on the ground. Ari was, as always, pushing himself to get us and I was just trying to keep flying without turning back and doing something stupid.
I was just about to nose dive into a forest below when I realized the wind had stopped speeding by. I was still moving, but there was no breeze in my ears, or wind on my face. I looked back and saw the rest of the Flock, frozen in mid-flight. I was stunned to say the least, but my biggest concern was, 'why was I still moving?' I looked down to see if the rest of me was still there, but instead found a weird pendent around my neck. It looked like a gear from a machine or something and had a CW in the middle. I was examining it when I heard an 'ehem' behind me.
I whipped around to find a strange, blue guy behind me. I took a fighting stance and started to size him up, but I couldn't believe what I was seeing. His skin was light blue and glowing and his eyes were blood red, no pupils. He wore a purple cape around him and held a staff with a clock at the end. His face was scared and when I looked down I saw he had no legs, only a swaying tail. He was covered in clocks and watches and seemed to be made of one.
"I need to speak with you Max." He said in an eery voice that sent chills up my spine. I didn't trust him enough to talk, so I lunged for him instead. He vanished before my eyes and appeared behind me unscathed. I looked him up and down again but as I did so he changed into an older, version of himself. I jumped back from him and stared at him, floating there. "I mean you no harm, but we must talk." He seemed very smart and unearthly, but also trustworthy. I remained silent, but nodded for him to continue.
"I'm sure you know of the School and it's adjoining facilities and I first want to say that I am not affiliated with any of them." My eyebrows raised involuntarily at his words. "It seems we have a common enemy, though there are more to come as you will soon find out." As he said this he changed yet again, but this time into a child-like version of the original. I jumped back again and finally spoke.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" He grinned.
"I am Clockwork, master of time. I am here to ask for your help in a fight against an evil that wishes to eliminate the world. It is a group of creatures and people who want nothing more than to kill and destroy. One of them is the Director of the School and the Institute." I wondered for a moment why he was telling me this, and for that matter, why was he against the institute?
"What does this have to do with me?"
"The Director along with the most diabolical of minds, is going to try and destroy all life as you know it. It is my job to ensure that does not happen, without taking part in it. I cannot fight, nor can I interfere to a certain extent. I can however put together my own army to go against theirs. Since your nemesis is part of the enemy, I assume you would want to do your part and fight." I wondered about that for a moment before I spoke.
"My Flock wouldn't be with me?" he shook his head as he changed back to his middle-aged self.
"No. But as I said, you will be part of an army as well. One I cannot tell you about. You will have to meet them on your own." I couldn't believe this was even happening. This guy seemed trustworthy, but I wasn't one to trust anyone. And he wanted me to go into a war without the Flock. But I would get my shot at the Director. The one who had created us. The one who had ruined our lives and deserved to die for her torture she inflicted on all of those kids. I looked back at my family, still frozen in the air and thought about the times they had gone through tests, and experiment for the sake of science. I wasn't about to pass up a chance at revenge. I turned back to Clockwork and smiled at the though of ripping that witch apart.
"Where do I sign up?" I asked. He smiled and waved his staff. I looked around and realized I was on the ground in a forest. The pendent was gone and so was Clockwork. Great I trust someone and get zapped into a forest, wait a go Max. I mentally kicked myself and started to walk through the shrubbery. I hadn't a clue where I was, but for some reason I got the feeling I was being watched.
SplendoraPOV
I couldn't be happier than I was in this one moment. I was totally at peace. The grass was so soft on my face. The breeze was perfect along my back. And the sun was shining warmly on my wings. It felt good to soak up some sun and I had been dying to let my wings and tail out after a week at camp. I was just glad to be back home in the Everglades. Not a soul there to bother me. It was bliss.
Unfortunately it didn't last. All too soon I saw a shadow through my eyelids and knew someone was standing over me. Of course, only Krystal and Bren knew about his place in the swamp, and were the only other ones who could get to it as far as I knew. When I opened my eyes and looked up I did not see one of my friends. I saw a man in a cape hovering over me, literally! I immediately jolted to my feet and ran away from him. I ran for the edge of the bog, but he appeared out of no where in front of me. I froze and glared at him. I could tell with one look he wasn't human, but I wasn't sure what he was. He wasn't anything I had seen before. But I got the feeling he was dangerous and let my eyes darken as a warning, along with a deep growl. He smiled back at me, to my amazement, and held his free hand up in a peaceful gesture.
"Sorry for the intrusion, but I come peacefully. I only wish to offer you a proposition." He said. His voice had a strange echo to it and made me nervous. I felt my eye form into slits and looked at him with my enhanced vision. Amazingly he looked no different. I kept on guard though and continued to look through my dragon eyes.
"Go on then." I said. I let my melodic dragon voice ring out. It usually intimidated others or at least set them off at a curious angle.
"First off, my name is Clockwork. I am the master of time and a guardian of the future. And at this moment the world has no future." I raised on eyebrow in question, still not taking my eyes off of his floating form. "There is a group that is going to destroy the world, unless someone intervenes. I however am not aloud to do so. I can gather my own army to end their plans. That's where you come in."
"You want me to fight your battles for you?" I asked, venom wrapping around my words.
"If it was that simple I would not be here. Devinion is one of them." My breath caught and my eyes widened. I had thought Devinion was dead. I had killed him myself last winter. How could he be back?
"He can't be. He's dead." I couldn't help the weakness in my voice.
"Unfortunately, he is not. He seems to be the one gathering old friends together. Friends who's intentions are just as dark as his." I took a moment to let that sink in.
"What do you expect me to do about this?" I asked.
"He is your greatest enemy and therefore you are his greatest threat. You almost killed him once. With a little help you can do it again. I am asking for your help to defeat him and his allies."
"You said I would not be alone. Will my friends be with me?"
"No. They cannot be involved in this. Only the most essential of the families are gathering to fight. Any more people put in danger could ruin the fabric of time to a far greater extent than anything I can repair." I wasn't sure what to make of his words, but he seemed sincere and I wanted to trust him. If Devinion was out there it was still my destiny to kill him. I had to finish what I started. I looked up into the red, scarred eyes of the man and nodded once.
"Alright, I will fight. Where do I need to go?" He smiled and tried to wave his staff, but I grabbed it with my tail to stop him. He seemed surprised, but not too terribly astonished. "Just tell me where to go and I will get there. I'd rather not travel by teleportation again." He smirked and nodded not bothering to ask about the other time when Sharron sent me half way around the world. Not doing that again.
"It's a good thing you caught me then." He chuckled once. "Go North. You will be meeting your team in Forks, Washington. I would hurry if I were you. They're already within the city limits." I nodded and shot out my wings. He smiled back and nodded before vanishing.
I shot into the air and headed strait up for the clouds. I jumped through the white clouds and found my all too familiar current. I could ride this all the way to California and Washington wasn't far from there. I would be there before nightfall. I decided to lay on the speed and fully morphed into my dragon self. It always felt good to let my claws out.
JacobPOV
It always felt good to just enjoy the little things. I was sitting on the couch, watching my favorite movie with my favorite girl in my arms. So, sure, she was still around twelve-ish as far as age goes, but I was just glad she wanted to spend time with me. She thought of me as a good friend and I was happy that her dad was at least letting her come over. It had been three years since the whole Volturi incident and we had all taken a chill pill once that crisis was avoided. Nessie was spending more time with me and the treaty was better than ever. We had all agreed that going on each other's lands was o.k. If given a heads up first. The Cullens couldn't hunt around here, but they could visit whenever they wanted to, and vise-versa.
I looked down at Nessie in my arms and couldn't help but sigh. She was so special and every time she was around me I felt absolute joy. I brushed a stray hair behind her ear and she smiled up at me. I knew she didn't see me as her other half yet, but I was glad we could be close friends.
She laid her hand gently on my cheek and I waited for her question. 'Do you wanna go hunting?' her voice said in my mind.
"Do you?" I asked. She had just gone hunting with the family a week ago, so she shouldn't be thirsty.
"I just want to get out and do something. Please." She batted her dark, luring, eyelashes at me and I groaned. She had no idea the effect she had on me.
"Sure. Lets go." She jumped up and ran out the door. I was just about to go after her when my phone buzzed. "I'll be right there Ness." I called. I looked at the caller ID to see the pixie's number.
"Jacob, I need you and Nessie to get over here in two minutes. It seems we are going to have some company. Tell your pack to be careful and don't attack anyone who isn't normal. I'll explain everything when you get here." With that she hung up and I rushed out the door.
"Was that Alice?" Nessie asked.
"Yah. We gotta go to the house." She nodded and turned for the Cullen's place. I ran into the woods behind my house to phase. I did and caught up to Ness in just seconds. As we ran I could hear Seth's thoughts. 'What's up Jake?' he asked.
'Pixie said we needed to get to the house. Oh, and don't attack anything weird in the forest.'
'Ok then. Anything else Mr. Cryptic?'
'It's just what Alice said. I'll give you the down-low when I knew more.'
'Alright boss.' We made it to the big white house in record time and were greeted by Edward. I nodded to Ness and turned back to the forest to change. I got my pants on and walked into the havoc filled house. Alice looked like she was having another head ache, Jasper was on edge, probably because of Alice, and Edward was speed talking to Carlisle about something.
"So, what's all this about?" I asked Emmett. He was leaning against a wall probably trying to stay out of it.
"You got me. All I was told is that we are going to have company in a few minutes. It's no one Edward or Alice knows and Alice says she thinks there's more to come. All I know is it's about time we got something new around here. It was getting boring." Rose took that opportunity to whack the back of his head and glare at him. I couldn't help but snicker at him. "What?"
"This isn't something to look forward to Emmett. What if they are working for the Volturi? We could be in danger and you seem to feel the need to joke about this." Edward spoke up then.
"I don't think so. Whoever it is they are human, as far as I can see. The Volturi wouldn't send one human here to check up on things and if they had sent others then Alice would have seen them. The only thing that makes me wonder is, why would a human girl, whom none of us know, come to the house?" Bella walked up to him out of a corner and smiled.
"Perhaps she just saw us and was interested. I've been in those shoes before."
"But it still doesn't make sense." Alice screeched. "It's like there are blind spots too, but their not Nessie or the wolves. It's something else, but I have no idea what."
"So we are going up against something we've never seen before and have no idea how to fight?" I asked. All I got was silence. "Great. I'm gonna go check on Seth and see if he found anything." I nodded at Edward and he nodded back. He would hear if I knew something.
I raced back into the forest and morphed only to be greeted by Seth's agonized thoughts. He was hurt and being attacked by something. 'You couldn't have come sooner?' He asked.
'I'm on my way! Hang on!' I was blazing through the woods trying to get to Seth. He opened his eyes and I saw him look up at a girl. She was about fourteen or so and had long brown hair. Her hands were fists and she lunged at Seth before he closed his eyes and whimpered. How the heck was a human able to hurt Seth and why wasn't she running away from the giant wolf.
I let out a loud howl that Leah was sure to have heard and continued running. I barged into the clearing where Seth was and stopped. The girl twisted around and faced me, not a trace of fear on her face.
"Great, another one. I can't go one day without being chased and attacked by you guys." I wasn't sure what she meant, but before I could put it together she was running towards me. I jumped out of her way just before she could land a punch and kicked her into the air. I turned to where she was supposed to land, but she wasn't there. I looked around, not wanting her to ambush me, but she was gone. The only thing that tipped me off in time was the sound of wind passing over something. I looked up just in time to dodge her kick, but when I looked again I couldn't believe my eyes. The girl was flying through the air, with wings. My jaw dropped involuntarily and I stared at her. She seemed confused at my reaction.
"What? They never told you we could fly?" Her words confused me even further. It was like she was expecting me to attack her. I decided to go with a more subtle approach and shook my head back and forth. Her eyebrow quirked up and I sat on the cold earth. Of course Leah chose that moment to enter my mind.
'What happened? Why is Seth hurt? Who is she?'
'Just get here fast and don't attack. Stay behind me. Maybe we can fix this without a fight.'
'Doubt it.' Seth said. 'She attacked me for no reason.' I growled in response. Leah was already freaking out and his words were just egging her on.
'I order you not to attack Leah. Just come in and sit behind me.' My attention turned back to the girl. She was looking between me and Seth, we must have been growling to each other when we were talking.
"Something tells me you're not erasers." She said, pointing to the two of us before landing on her feet. I snickered at her words and shook my head. She was still tense so I didn't approach her. I instead barked at her, trying to sound 'friendly' which only got me a snicker from Seth. He was already healing up and was getting to his feet. I pointed my nose to him and the girl followed my gaze. We both watched as Seth limped to my side and sat next to me. Leah burst through the trees then and growled at the girl. I snapped at her and she came around to Seth's side.
'Are you ok? What did she do to you? Anything broken?'
'I'm gonna be fine Leah sheesh!' Seth scooted away from her and rolled his eyes.
"So if you aren't erasers then what are you exactly?" The girl asked, crossing her arms over her chest. I nodded and turned for the forest to phase. I tossed my pants on and walked back out. The girl just stared.
"Would you believe in werewolves?" I asked. Her eyes widened and she looked between Seth, Leah and I. "We won't hurt you, unless you hurt us again. Well, Leah might. You beat up her little brother." I motioned to Leah and she growled back at the girl. She just shrugged.
"Sorry. You guys resemble some creatures that I've had to deal with before. At least I can out-fly you guys. Erasers are just annoying." Everyone was silent for a moment before I decided to speak.
"Why are you here?" I could only guess this was the girl from Alice's vision.
"I have no idea, but I was told I would meet some people here. People who could help me. People who weren't... normal. I'm guessing that's you guys."
"So you were sent here, you have no idea why, and you were told to meet up with not normal people?" She just shrugged and nodded.
"Could you tell me where I am exactly? I was just dropped here in the forest."
"This is the Quileute reservation. We live in La Push, but I have a feeling you will want to go to Forks to meet the Cullens."
"Why? How many not normal people can there be in one place?" Seth and I started chuckling to ourselves, though Leah kept her eyes fixed on the girl.
"You have no idea." I said. I walked up to her and held out my hand. "I'm Jacob." She analyzed my hand like it was a snake, but eventually shook it. She pulled back from the unexpected heat.
"Max." She said simply.
"Come on. We'll escort you to the Cullens. Wouldn't want to sneak up on them, trust me." I turned and walked over to Seth, who seemed fine now and Leah who was still glaring at Max. "Leah, take Seth home and then go on patrol. Something tells me that there's more than one guest coming our way." Leah nodded and she nudged Seth into the trees.
"You gonna walk me there?" She asked. I turned and raise a brow in question. "I'd just rather fly if you don't mind. Can you... change back?" I rolled my eyes and chuckled.
"Sure hang on one sec. The clothes don't change with me." I went behind a tree and trotted back to the girl. She smirked and popped out her wings. They were impressive, I'll give her that. With a slight kick she was up in the air and I bolted for the house. I wanted to see how fast she was. She was right above me at my top speed. Wow.
I stopped when we reached the house, Edward was waiting on the porch. I looked up at Max, who was staring at Edward. Edward followed my gaze and his jaw dropped when he saw her.
"She's here." He whispered. In a second everyone was outside staring up at Max. She turned to me and I nodded in encouragement. She landed and looked around at the Cullens.
"So these are the Culleys, I'm guessing." She said. I snickered.
"Cullen actually," Carlisle said. "and yes we are. Who might you be?"
"Max." She said. She made no move to go near them. I dashed into the trees to phase so that I could talk.
"We wont hurt you." Edward said calmly. I zipped my pants and was back in front of the house.
"Is this the girl Alice saw?" I asked. Edward and Alice both nodded.
"You knew I was coming?" Max asked. She began to back away.
"Sort of. It's really complicated." I said.
"Why don't you come inside and we can discus this." Carlisle said sympathetically. Max seemed to turn white at the suggestion and stared wide-eyed at the Cullens.
"She would prefer to stay outside, where she can get away if she needs to." Edward informed us. Max's eyes widened and her gazed fixed on him. "I will explain momentarily, but first I believe our other company has arrived." He turned his head to the trees on the other side of the house. We all did the same and saw a young, black haired, kid.
DanPOV
I walked on the highway until I heard a loud, unearthly howl in the trees. I knew immediately that it was no wolf so I bolted for the forest. Clockwork said the people, or creatures, I was meeting were from myths. So anything out of the ordinary was worth looking into. Once I was under the cover of the trees I transformed and flew through the trees. As I got closer I could hear talking and stopped in a tree to listen. There was a guy and a girl on one side of a lawn and a group of nine across from them. I went intangible and drifted to the ground, transforming back as I did so. As soon as I made myself visible they all turned right at me. I froze. How the heck did they know I was even here. I got a strange feeling like I was in danger and stepped back. I turned to run, but was caught by a hard, cold hand on my arm. I looked back to see a guy with bronze hair holding me. I felt like he was dangerous, and had to get away. I went intangible and phased through him, making myself visible on the other side of him. He turned back to me and I glared at him with my ghostly eyes.
"Your what?" He asked in a velvety voice. "Did you just say ghost?" I jumped at that. He knew what I was thinking.
"No, I thought it? Get out of my head." I glared at him again and his eyes widened. My clenched fists were starting to glow green, with ecto energy, he noticed.
"You're a ghost?" He asked.
"Why would you think that?" I could tell he was seeing through my bluff.
"Because you are thinking it." I stared at him. He could read my mind. Weird, but my ghost sense wasn't going off so he wasn't a ghost. Then...
"What are you?" I blurted, though it was too low for him to hear.
"Let us discus this inside." One man said from the porch. He had short blonde hair and looked more like a leader or father of the group. "I'm sure everyone has questions they would like answered." I stared at him for a moment and nodded. He seemed very trustworthy and I didn't feel that danger spike from him. He turned back to the girl in the lawn who had been watching the whole thing. She was staring at me, but looked at the blonde man when he mentioned going inside. She looked over her shoulder at the shirtless boy and he nodded. She did the same and walked up to the group.
"Well, I do believe we have one more blind-spot coming for a visit so let's not scare them off." Said the short, spiky haired girl. She reminded me of Danielle for some reason. The peppy attitude, the size. She could be an older clone of her. I shoved those thoughts out of my head. I didn't need to think about that right now.
As we all filed into the house, the girl from earlier stayed right next to the door. She was examining the house and seemed to be noting every detail. Like she was looking over a battlefield before the fight.
"Your right." The bronze haired guy said to me. He turned then to the girl.
"Max," he said. His voice was strangely luring. "we told you we wouldn't hurt you and we won't." She shrugged.
"Can't trust anyone. It never works out. So long as I have a way out I'll be fine." Her eyes drifted to a wall made entirely out of glass and she smiled. The whole room seemed to notice her plans and fell awkwardly silent.
"Well, would anyone care for a drink?" Asked a brunette lady standing next to the blonde guy. She was beautiful, and though I still felt in danger, she gave a sense of welcome. I nodded and she went to, I guess the kitchen. I took the opportunity to look around at everyone. They were all extremely beautiful/hansom and had the same pale white skin and topaz eyes. Yet their features were too unique for any of them to be related. It made me wonder what they all were. Then there was the shirtless guy. He was an opposite in every way to the group. He was big and buff, and radiated heat, I could feel from the other side of the room. The lady from earlier brought three glasses of water and gave them to the girl, me and that big guy. He chugged down his glass, so I assumed it wasn't poisoned and took a sip myself. The girl, Max, was the first to break the silence.
"So, what are you all and why were we sent here?" My eyebrows raised at that. Had she been sent here by Clockwork too. Then she was one of my allies.
"You were sent here?" I asked. She nodded. "By a guy right?" She nodded again. I smirked a bit. "Let me guess. He had a purple cape, blue skin, red eyes, no feet and carried a staff with a clock on the end, right?" Her eyes were bugging out of her head. I laughed.
"I didn't really try to memorize him. It seems you took good notes."
"Na. I've just seen him more than you have. He... resides in a place I go to often." I didn't say he lived there since he was technically dead.
"I can only guess you are as inhuman as he is so, what are you?" She asked. I sighed. Guess I was first up on the plate. I could just show them for dramatic effect. I smiled and my eyes glinted green.
"I think a demonstration would be more believable than just words." I said letting my ghostly echo creep into my voice. The blue ring appeared at my waist and split in two traveling over my body. My green eyes shimmered brighter and I could feel the energy in me stronger. My familiar suit was covering me now and some of my white hair was hanging in my face. When I looked up everyone was gawking at me. I smiled widely and floated in the air, letting my legs disappear into a tail. I zoomed around the room and ghosted through people, earning a few shrieks from two girls. I went invisible and snuck up behind the biggest of the pale guys and calmly said... "Boo." He on the other hand jumped a good three feet in the sir and appeared on the other side of the room in less than a second. I was cracking up and trying to hold my sides together. "Sorry, but that was funny."
"So, your a ghost then?" The bronze haired guy asked. I tried to compose myself, but couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
"Only half ghost actually, but yah."
"And how, if I may ask does one only half die?" Said the blonde guy. I raised my brow at him. He seemed too eager to know about this and wasn't at all afraid. "Pardon my manners. We haven't properly introduce ourselves. I am Carlisle and this is my family. Esme, my wife, and these are Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Edward, Bella and Renesmee." He gestured to each as he spoke. When he spoke of Renesmee I was shocked to see him point to a girl, about twelve or so. She was just as beautiful as any of the other girls, but her skin was more peachy and her eyes were a nice, deep brown color. I noticed Edward's protective hand on her shoulder and realized they looked a lot alike. She also resembled Bella too. Carlisle had not used the word children when naming everyone, but there was definitely a similarity in Renesmee and the other two. It puzzled me.
"She is our daughter." Edward said, answering my unspoken question. "It was thought impossible for... our kind to reproduce, Renesmee is one of very few."
"Your turn then." I floated to the ground and changed back to my human form, crossing my arms over my chest. "What are all of you, exactly?" Renesmee was the one to answer.
"They're vampires."
