Original Chapter, the first one had been cut a bit, as well as a few people and situations had been switched, so here you'll see what really happened.
Only showing this because Mademoiselle Choas asked me too, and since she's a very good friend, and has always given me good advice I thought what the hell.
There is actually a poll, take it to help me see which version will stay and which will be booted off.
Chapter One
Runaway Bride
Every girls dream wedding is what they called it. A beautiful three tier white cake sprinkled with soft pink petals that were edible, as well as giving the cake an innocence and purity of its own, pink and white rose's everywhere you turned in bouquets and scattered petals, warm sun rays, sand beneath your feet. A gorgeous groom, who would die for his precious and beloved bride to be; it was as they had repetitively called it 'Every girls dream wedding'. As true as that might have been, it was every girls dream wedding minus Renesmee's
As she stared at her dolled up self in the vanity mirror, her short bronze colored curly hair had been straightened and was put back in a French twist, and her side bangs swept across her forehead. Her makeup simple, lips pink from lip gloss, and light blush. She was no longer a rapidly growing little child any more, no now she was as her family called her a young woman, funny thing was, was that she didn't feel like a young woman, she still felt like a child. Eighteen years ago to this day, she'd been imprinted on by Jacob Black, alpha leader to the Black shifting wolves pack of La Push, and old and dear friend to her mother and ex-rival to her father. While she looked like the poster child of the perfect sweet, innocent bride to be, on the inside she was nothing like what she looked like. After staring at herself she found that the person in the reflection was not who she was, that was someone else. She cried as she hit the mirror, breaking it, she watched as it shattered into little shards of glass. Looking down at the pieces of mirror she picked one up to look at herself, loathing what she saw. It was not her, none of it was her, that man out there was not for her, the wedding was not for her, it was all for her reflection, the person they wanted her to be, she may not be able to tell anyone who she really was, not knowing herself being as she was never allowed to be herself, but, she knew the difference between herself and the person in her reflection.
Taking a deep shaky breath as she stood up smoothing out her dress; as per usual she hadn't been allowed to choose her clothes, though thankfully, Alice had been thoughtful enough to pick something not so childish. Her dress was simple. White with cap sleeves, a sweetheart neckline, empire waist, knee length, and a pink sash, tied into a big bow at the middle of her back- courteous of her mother, her shoes were simple white sandals too finish it off, they never allowed her to wear high heels.
Bobby had wanted the wedding in the sunlight, meaning the only guest were the Cullen Coven & the Packs, Bobby being the chosen one to marry them. The Cullen's paid for everything, and the pack wanted it where they wanted the wedding to be, and choose who was to marry her and Jacob. The wedding ceremony was to be finished with a kiss right when the sun set, and the darkness came upon all of them.
Another deep intake of breath as she willed her feelings to change for the gorgeous shifter waiting for her outside, but alas nothing happened, nothing changed. Jacob was still Jacob; she was still Renesmee; the one who was still not feeling any romantic feelings for the one that did feel them for her.
"Nessie?" A twinkling voice asked. Renesmee blinked and turned, finding Alice and Rosalie staring at her with identical worried expressions, quickly she placed her mask back on and wiped at her eyes as she spoke only to be cut off quickly by her pixie like aunt.
"I'm sorry I didn't hear you come-"
"-You can't do it can you?" Alice asked as moved closer to her
Those simple words shattered all thoughts, and breaking through the façade she'd worn since she was fifteen years old. "Excuse me?" She feigned nonfathombalness
"We heard the crash … are you okay?" Rosalie asked as she moved closer to look her over, obviously she didn't catch what Alice said.
"Nessie." Alice called again, not giving up on her and trying to get the words to come from her mouth.
"You don't have to do this; you don't have to go through with this." She continued, those words caught Rosalie's attention, and immediately the blonde was speaking up, oblivious to what was really being said.
"She's just getting cold feet, everyone's felt it before ….. Well except Bella, she was getting cold feet when it came to the idea of being engaged."
Renesmee spoke finally, her perfect mask cracking slowly. "Please just shut up."
Rosalie looked up shocked at what Renesmee had just said. "Excuse me?!", "What did you just say young lady?" Rosalie demanded from the young bride to be. Alice pulled Rosalie away from Renesmee while Renesmee turned away from her aunts and looked back at the shattered mirror that belong to the vanity.
Renesmee turned away from her small statured aunt, who just happened to be taller than herself, by a few inches. She stood up, and turned as she spoke.
"Renesmee sweetheart talk to me." Alice said as she placed a hand onto Renesmees' shoulder.
"He doesn't love me, not really, it's the imprint that makes him feel what he feels for me, it's only magic, it's only an illusion, an illusion to pull me in so he could sire a strong child."
"Renesmee, Jacob loves you, you know this." Rosalie said softly, trying her best to convince Renesmee that it was just a silly little phase.
Turning around she grabbed Alice's hand tightly as she spoke the words that she never wanted to speak aloud, that she'd never spoke aloud before now. "You've seen it Alice, Jasper's felt it, I know it in my heart that you've both encountered it, the way he looks at my mother still, the way he looks into my eyes-his favorite part of me, out of everything he chose my eyes to love the most-MY GODDAMN EYES! The eyes that she gave me, her goddamn eyes!" Renesmee crocked out as she fell to the floor gracefully she grabbed at her head as she took a deep breath in holding while she placed a sad smile on her face. Watching as her life, and the mask she created began to crumble apart before her very eyes.
Alice bent down to her level. "I know sweetie, I know you feel you don't know who he truly loves."
Rosalie looked between the two as she spoke. "Alice! Don't she's got cold feet is all, stop trying to get her mind wondering, she's been with Jacob for four years already! They love each other, just because you still don't approve doesn't mean you should manipulate her feelings when she's in such a vulnerable state!"
"Rosalie shut up, she's not being manipulated in any way, she's finally seeing the truth of everything." Alice argued back.
"She's always known the truth Alice, she's not an idiot, she knows how much Jacob loves her." Rosalie replied haughtily.
Renesmee finally cracked as she let go of her breath and cut the bickering women off from anymore talking. "I feel like I've been dead this whole time and now that I'm finally showing a piece of the real person I am … you completely make me feel as if it's wrong!" She cried out through her anger.
"Oh sweetheart." Alice said as she pulled the girl in for a hug, holding her as tightly as she was allowed to.
"Renesmee you aren't dead, you are alive, and you are in love with a good shifter, and you are going out there to marry him today and live happily and have children with him." Rosalie tried.
"Shut up!" "That's not what I want! I don't love him the way he claims to love me, I don't want to marry him!" Renesmee said as she pulled out of Alice's embrace and stood up. The crack in her mask was growing faster as she spoke her true thoughts.
"This person you've been dressing in these clothes, this person that has been playing with her hair the way you want her to, this person in this damn dress is not the person I want to be! I don't even know who I really am, but this person finally saying what I want too is the real me!" Renesmee cried at her aunt angrily.
"Renesmee this is what you've always wanted." Rosalie said calmly as she tried to keep her anger in check.
Renesmee pinched the bridge of her nose as she took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as she gathered her flying thoughts.
"You know what I'm done, that's it, I've had enough with this life." Renesmee said as she turned away from Rosalie.
"You're done with this life." Rosalie repeated.
Furiously Renesmee turned to Rosalie again as she spoke. " I have lived my entire life in shackles, doing and thinking everything you all want! I'm eighteen years old and finally I have a right to say whatever I want, and do whatever I want & I'm going to take my life and do with it as I please, because it's my life!
"Nessie." Rosalie tried to plead.
"I've done everything you, they-everyone has told me to, every decision, every thought, every move, every single word is what you want and I'm done with it!"
"Nessie please!" Rosalie tried again, but Renesmee turned those brown eyes on her with such a lifelessness to them that it nearly broke her.
"Please Aunt …You have no idea what it's like! You don't know what it feels like always questioning yourself, always questioning if the life you live is what you really want, you don't know what it feels like when people keep important facts from you because they think your too young or that you can't handle it. Hell you don't want to know what it feels like to be going through a breakdown!" Renesmee said with a pleading voice that could break any vampire.
Though Rosalie wasn't like many others, and was immune to the look and the tone choice.
"Renesmee your being silly, this is just some phase." She tried once more.
"Shut up and move because I'm leaving and if you try to stop me I will never forgive you, and I will never speak to you again, I don't want to be here, so I won't be here anymore." Renesmee said.
"Renesmee do you even know what your saying?!" Rosalie asked.
"Of course, I'm leaving this god forsaken life, and this miserable town!"
"And go where?!" Rosalie asked just as angrily
"Somewhere, anywhere, anyplace but here!"
"Why are you so stubborn!" Rosalie asked as she grabbed at her frustrated.
A thought forming in Alice's head as she watched the two fight it out, Rosalie had always considered Renesmee as her own child, thus the reason they acted like mother and daughter, it was a good thing that it was Rosalie and not Bella she was talking this way too. By now Bella would be in tears because Renesmee doesn't want the life she had set out for her, "Rose, let her be, she needs to find herself, just like all of us have." She began as she stood up from the floor and spun Renesmee to face her. "Nessie listen to me, are you listening?" Alice as asked she grabbed Renesmee's chin to make sure she had her attention before she spoke again.
"Bella & Edward won't be here for another twenty minutes, now I'm give you two choices that'll change the course of your life forever … Now you can stay here and get married to a man you don't love or you can take this small opportunity to leave now, yes your parents will be mad, but if you give them some time to simmer down, we can talk to them for you to get them to understand, but that means you have to get far away from this place …… So what are you going to do?" Alice asked as she cupped Renesmee's face in her hands.
Renesmee's mud brown eyes widened in surprise as she replied in a hushed whisper. "Why are you helping me? You are moms' best friend!"
Alice smiled softly at her. "We are but I can't watch this anymore, & I'll be damned if I let my only niece not get her happy ending like the rest of us Cullen's have, so I'm finally stepping in."
"Alice stop it!" Rosalie said. "Shut up Rose." Alice said quickly, it was a good thing they were speaking fast, or else the pack would've already intervened, and Renesmee would have to deal with a broken hearted Jacob, and an angry and bitter aunt Leah.
Yes Sue and Charlie married not long after Edward and Bella had Renesmee, to be exact two years after, making Seth & Leah siblings to Bella, and aunt and uncle to Renesmee. It wasn't her only uncle seeing as Renee and Paul had a child about three years later, a year after Sue had Asher Swan right after the wedding too … so far it was unknown if he carried the shifter gene yet. And so Renesmee had four uncles, and three aunts, one who was more fond of her nieces imprinter than her own niece, but then again, Leah had always put her own kind before the 'cold ones' or 'leeches'.
"But then you'll get in trouble, dad will go after you." Renesmee said. Alice waved her off. "So what do you say?" She asked.
"Alice don't she just a child, she doesn't know how cruel the world is, and she doesn't need to find out if she doesn't have to." Rosalie pleaded.
"Stop it, I'm not a child anymore, if the world is as cruel as you say then let me find out for myself." Renesmee said.
"Eighteen minutes." Alice said
Renesmee turned back to Alice as she replied "Tell me what I have to do?" She said as she calmed herself down.
"You will leave when given the signal using the back of the tent out, I will have Jaz tweak a few people, get a distraction started and you will get as far away from us as fast as possible." Alice said as she walked over to the opening of the tent they were in and peeked out.
"Don't tell us where your going or leave any clues either, your dad will find you and drag you right back here if you do … but if I may make a suggestion." Alice replied as she locked eyes with Jasper ushering him over to the tent with a delicate finger.
"Anything."
"Make sure it's nowhere we'd think too look, as well as Leah will be on you faster than any of us after this, so make sure you find a way to make her loose your scent." Alice said before she directed her attention to her husband whispering words into his ear.
Jasper smiled softly at her before he left the tent, and Alice spun around directing her attention back to Renesmee.
"Take your passports, all of them, and one outfit only, if you want to leave quickly you'll shop when you get to your destination, and send at least an email to let us know you're alive and well." Alice said as she pulled Renesmee into one last loving embrace.
"Don't forget the skies the limit." Alice whispered in her ear, before she pulled away from her at the same time there was a loud crash that sounded like a body shattering glass. Renesmee smiled softly at her aunt before looking to Rosalie who jumped after her before being caught by Alice, Renesmee took off in a fast run, using her vampire speed to get to the house quicker.
When she got to the house she ran up the stairs and threw open her bedroom door, grabbing her backpack and opening her closet. Walking in she went through her dresser and pulled out the drawer and poured its contents into her bag before she opened another and poured the contents it held as well, she quickly ran to her racks and scanned through them before pulling at an outfit and stuffing it in her bag, and turned to another dresser and opened it pulling out a bra and stuffing it in her bag as well, then opening a drawer next to it and pulling out a pair of panties throwing them in her bag.
She flew around her closet as she searched for her laptop, until she heard something fall onto the floor, spinning around she found an unfamiliar box upside down on the floor. It looked older than everyone in the family, but had an old elegance to it, picking it up she looked on the floor to see a thick gold chained necklace with a diamond the size of a golf ball on the floor that shined brightly in the small closet. Her fingers touched the smooth stone and memories of a great and strict ruler rushed upon her, deep red eyes, jet black hair- her mother handing the necklace over to a month old her after the confrontation with him, with his guards and witnesses watching their every action. Snapping back to reality she placed the necklace back into the box, looking up at the highest shelf in her closet, a destination coming to her mind as she looked down at the box, and back up to the shelf, she smirked as she walked over to her bag and slipped it in, remembering the time her parents didn't allow her to go on a class trip to Italy. Picking up her bag she smiled as she lifted her laptop, turning it over, gently she popped open the back and pulled out the tracker. She smiled happily as she skipped out of her room and flew down the stairs and into the kitchen, opening the shelves under the sink she opened the small refrigerator, that actually kept donation bags warm and pulled out a few donation bags, putting them in her bag as well and placing the chip on the kitchen counter.
Sliding her bag on her shoulders she ran out of house & into the dense forest, running swiftly through Forks and stopping when she was in front of the busy building that was the Port of Seattle Sea-Tac International Airport. She walked quickly through the humans, and cleared her throat when she reached the counter, capturing the elderly woman's attention.
"Why hello dear." She said as she eyed her over.
Renesmee straightened up and pulled out a wad of cash and her I.D., placing it on the counter as she spoke. "One ticket for Rome Italy, please."
The woman checked over her I.D. before she placed it back on the counter and spoke."One way or all around?"
"One way." Renesmee answered quickly.
"You get cold feet there girly?" The woman inquired as she typed away at her computer.
Looking down, Renesmee realized she never changed out of her wedding dress and looked back up at the woman trying to think up a an excuse, though her thoughts were cut short as the woman spoke again. "I don't usually see runaway brides going to Rome being as it's one of the honeymoon spots and all."
Renesmee sighed as she finally thought of a good excuse. "Actually I'm heading to Volterra to be with my grandfather …. My uncle called me earlier telling me that the old man is close so I walked out of my birthday party and all that." Renesmee said as she empathized the word 'close' in a grief tone.
The woman smiled at her warmly at the thought of her dropping everything for her grandfather. "Here you go dear, have a nice trip." She said as she handed her the ticket.
Renesmee smiled as she walked away, it wasn't long till the plane took off, and actually she'd just made it right before they shut the gate, it was funny how that happened when she wasn't expecting luck t be on her side. She sighed as she looked around the people; this is what she wanted, leaving behind the fairytale that she'd been preparing for her whole life. It was okay though, she was ready to bury her families plans, her mothers other dreams, bury her fairy tale and pour tones of concrete and lay brick over it so it could never try to raise up to her again.
As the plane steadies in the air she smiled staring out her window, she was finally breaking free from her family, she was finally making her own decisions, taking chances on her own. She sighed, she was mentally and emotionally exhausted and she didn't want to think anymore; knowing she wouldn't get any sleep when she reached Italy. She sat in her chair and shut her eyes, falling into a deep sleep until she got to her destination, taking advantage of it while she could.
Back in Forks
It wasn't long till Edward realized something was wrong when he and Bella arrived at the beach. It wasn't the angry voices that were floating through his mind that bugged him; no it was the one voice that didn't pass through him that bugged Edward.
Looking around the people he still didn't find the birthday girl in the sea of familiar faces. She was nowhere to be found, turning around and walking towards the brides' tent stopping as he watched a heartbroken and pain filled Bella walk out. She spoke through dried sobs, obviously trying to hold back a scream as best she could.
"She's not here."
It was then that he heard the squeak of an all too familiar mind, his liquid topaz eyes locked onto those of the small vampire, said brunette broke eye contact quickly before she ran to hide behind her husband. Immediately he could feel Jasper's powers taking control of his curiosity and trying to replace with a different emotion. It was exactly what he needed to confirm his growing suspicions, so when Jasper began to feel him fight it, he turned his head away from Edward and too his tiny wife, a message passing between them …. Then she was gone, and Edward was right behind her, gaining on her.
It was simple to put the puzzle pieces together, a missing daughter, and a scared & speedy sister. Alice knew what happened to Renesmee, it was unmistakable, and she was also almost certainly the mastermind who came up with the plan.
He caught her by her dress train and slammed her against the tree trunk, only to be pulled away by muscular arms that held him in place. "Edward calm down before I have Jasper here make you." Emmett said.
He heard Bella snarl at Alice as Jasper stood in front of her, protecting her. "What the hell did you do Alice?!"
"She told Nessie to leave!" Edward replied angrily.
Alice was pleading with him in her mind to listen to her but he didn't, the anger he was feeling was intense, and the sorrow that was beginning to seep in was deep. His baby girl was gone, alone in the world, where anything could happen to her, with no one to protect her, no one to comfort her when she needed comforting. For all he knew she could be dead right then, rotting away while they stood their doing nothing about it.
Despite his anger, they didn't have time to stand around and fight, his little girl was out there, and he needed to find her. He stopped struggling against Emmett and spoke in a harsh tone.
"Let go of me."
"Not until you've calmed dow-
-I said let go of me." Edward hissed.
Emmett's grip quickly loosened and Edward pushed away from the bigger vampire. He didn't look at Alice or Jasper as he walked away from his family with Bella at his side. No he wouldn't allow any of them to see just how betrayed he felt or how sad and scared he was at the moment for his daughter.
Looking up he found Jacob wearing a nervous expression on his face, his voice was tight as he spoke. "Hey have you guys seen Nessie? Leah went to check on her, but she wasn't in her tent."
Another sob escaped Bella's lips and Edward shook his head. "You should gather the others because she's not here." Edward said as he walked passed the younger man.
"What do you mean she's not here?" Jacob asked nervously.
Edward snapped then. "She's not here! She left! She ran away for god knows what reason!"
Bella finally let her ear splitting scream out as she fell to the ground and Edward quickly was at her side, her face contorted into pain and the disappearance of their child.
Jacobs face mimicked hers, before he shifted into his wolf form, running away from them as he howled painfully into the sky.
Bella clung to him as he began to speak to her softly. "We'll call everyone and ask them to keep an eye open just in case."
Bella only replied through her dried sobs. "Do you think she's alright?"
He couldn't reply to that, and he didn't try to, in truth he could only wonder along with his beloved wife. Renesmee was only a child still to them despite her age; it was no lie that she could charm her way to get what she wanted in their home. Though in the real world, batted lashes and innocent smiles or pouted lips wouldn't always work. Then there was the stubborn side of his daughter that would make even Emmett aggressive and that side of Renesmee put with another stubborn and equally angry person could really be trouble. The main problem however was the hunting, Renesmee was taught well, but if she went too long without blood sustenance, it could cause her to do something drastic that could lead to her exposure. If that happened not even the ancients could help them, Renesmee would be sentenced to death …..
The snapping of a branch caught his attention; he turned quickly to find Carlisle and Esme walking up to them. Carlisle spoke as he got closer to them. "We talked to Alice … I think you should hear what she and Jasper have to say."
" ….. Hear what she has to say?" Bella cried. "She's the reason Nessie left!" She continued through her sobs.
Esme pulled Bella towards her, embracing her, shushing Bella with soothing words while rubbing her back. Edward turned back to Carlisle.
"Jacob should be on her scent by now." He said.
"He's not going to get anywhere. …You know as well as I that serendipity has usually been on Renesmee's side. Come home and just listen, maybe you'll understand." Carlisle replied.
"We won't get anywhere if we don't try. Not too mention she hasn't fed since our last hunt which was a couple of days ago, she could snap any moment." Edward bit back.
Carlisle only sighed before he responded. "I went back to the house and checked if she was there when I heard, but instead I found that a few bags of blood donations had been taken, meaning she'll be fine for a little while. Now come on, let's go home and talk about this."
Edward still refused to move and continued his stubbornness with another sentence. "How many bags Carlisle?"
"Three … But it means that she's set her mind to a certain place, and that's always a good sign, it'll help us narrow it down. She even took her laptop; we can track her as well."
He was hesitant at first, his stubbornness still controlling his thought process. Although when his eyes caught hold of Bella and Esme running off towards the direction of the house, he finally decided in his mind that he'd do as Carlisle asked, if not for him he'd do it for Bella, Nessie was her daughter as well.
So as they sprinted through the passing forest, Edward scanned his mind for all places Nessie would go to, who she'd go to that they all knew of course, and she thought she would be able to trust to keep her hidden.
By the time they got to the house he'd narrowed his search down to all of the places, Nessie actually liked the human food, and all the places she loved shopping whenever they left Forks. Inside the house his siblings were waiting, sitting on the pristine white couch surrounding Alice and protecting her from him and Bella, and Rosalie as well it seemed seeing as Emmett was holding her back as well from the brunette. Edward took his spot next to his wife and mother respectively, waiting for someone to speak.
Carlisle was the one to break the ice as he walked into the room. "Edward, Bella ... We all know you're worried, but just for the sake of Nessie listen to what Alice has to say, I think if you hear her out, maybe you'll be less angry at her."
With those words Carlisle nodded at Alice, pressing her to begin, Alice grabbed her husbands hand as she started to speak softly.
"You have to understand … I did it for her, you should've heard what she was feeling, the emotions that were passing through her were so frightening, and they've been going through her for the past couple of years now. … She wasn't happy with him; she only dated him because in all honesty we all know that Jacob is the only male that you approve of as a boyfriend, the only one you'd accept. Nessie was only going to marry him because she figured it was what you expected of her-
-So it's our fault she left, is that what your saying?!" Edward hissed out.
It was unfortunate but as much as he used to despise hearing others thoughts, he wished he knew what the truth was at the moment. Nessie had developed a little trick to not let him know what was going through her mind, and she'd passed her knowledge to Alice who'd just happened to be using it this very moment. The continuation of a single word going in and out of her mind was keeping him from really hearing her inner thoughts, that plus the addition of fading anger was beginning to irritate him more than anyone could think possible, they'd prepared in the short time.
"No … I'm trying to tell you that Nessie didn't love Jacob like he loved her … she loves him as a brother, a best friend, and from what it looks like she may always feel that way." Alice finished.
It was then Rosalie decided to finally speak up on the matter her words vicious as she spoke."I'm sorry Bella, Edward I tried to stop her, but Alice she wouldn't stop."
Emmett obviously took the side of Alice though. "Edward, you know I love Nessie like she's my own daughter, but you should have heard what she was saying, and what she was feeling Jasper here made me feel what she felt …. It's hurts bro, she just wants to be herself she doesn't want to live the way you want her to."
"Does that mean you know where she is?" Bella asked hopefully.
Edward shook his head slowly as he replied softly, Alice was finally allowing him to see and know everything that happened when they weren't there." Alice gave her specific advice not to tell her, none of them know where she is."
Bella was putting up a strong front, despite the fact that all of them knew just how much Renesmee meant to her. Words could barely describe the love the vampress had for her half human daughter.
Alice sighed breaking the silence with her next words. "Well at least she won't be marrying that dog."
"Alice!" Bella cried shocked
"Oh please Bella, you & I both know that the only reason why you even allowed him even be near her after his feelings developed was because you felt bad for him." Alice continued.
"That's not true!" Bella argued.
"Seriously Bella, he was in love with you one minute, then lost because you picked Edward, he despised Nessie to the point that he wants to kill her-
-He thought I was dead you can't blame him for that!" Bella defended.
Alice ignored the younger vampire as she continued her assault. "Then miraculously just when he's about to kill her, he just happens to imprint on your daughter of all females … You can't blame Nessie for running when she did, how could you even call it real love? I mean he only imprinted because she was capable of breeding strong pups for him." Alice finished.
"And what would you rather have her marry Alice? A Human?" Edward asked with an edge to his voice.
She was undeterred by his malice as she spoke. "No, but I'd rather see her with a human than some animal … And for you information she shouldn't have to be concerned with marriage at all at the moment she's still young … but if she were to want to settle down, I'd suggest a classy, sophisticated, intelligent and handsome vampire."
Carlisle shook his head as he walked back into the room tossing something to Edward. Catching it he stared at the small microchip, realizing it was the tracker from Renesmee's laptop.
"That's gone, along with all of her passports." He said to the others.
"So what do we do then?" Esme asked
"Renesmee will hide out in a place she feels safe and secure, somewhere where she can eat human food that she actually likes." Carlisle said.
"There are quite a few countries she could be hiding in." Emmett said.
"We need to call the other covens." Bella said.
"Already alerted them, they promised to give a call back if they see her." Carlisle replied.
"Then what do we do?" Rosalie asked.
Edward sighed before he replied. "We split up and search for her."
"And if we find her what do we do? And don't say you're going to give her some more time to develop feelings for Jacob." Alice said.
"We'll deal with that later, for now we need to find her." Edward said.
Alice crossed her arms against her chest as she replied. "I refuse to help you, I think she deserves to get away from this place and see the world."
Edward knew that it was useless to ask, if there was one thing that each of them shared, it was stubbornness, Alice, Rosalie and Renesmee all had the most stubborn minds in the house, so when they put their minds on something then it was how it went. Sighing he stood up and flew up the stairs opening Renesmee bedroom door. Renesmee was a very meticulous cleaner, so everything was always neat looking like a picture from a magazine. Her bed was made, the throw blanket folded at the foot of the bed, Edward sat down on the white and purple bed, trying to make sense of everything, trying to understand his daughter.
Renesmee had finally convinced Bella when she was fifteen to redecorate her bedroom; she'd thrown out all the pink and even threw her old bed out. She'd moved out of the cottage when she was thirteen claiming that they needed space, seeing as she saw them every minute of every day. Bella didn't take to well on that, nor did Alice and Rosalie, that's why the closet turned into a mixture of pink and purple and the bathroom completely pink.
She'd always whine to him about how they treated her as if she were a baby, dressing her in pretty clothes that usually consisted of pink. She'd screamed when he'd convinced Bella to have her hair cut to her shoulders, refusing to talk to him for an entire month till she got used to the cut. He couldn't help it, he didn't want her to grow up, he didn't want her to leave him, she was his daughter and he loved her more than his own life, just like he loved Bella. He didn't want to see men leering at her no matter if it were a human or even a vampire, he didn't like the fact that girls only ever wanted to talk to her to know her family more, he didn't want to see her be used.
Edward knew what he'd been doing was selfish, but what dad wanted to share their most prized possession with the world.
With Renesmee
Renesmee shook her head at the selection of vehicles that had been offered so kindly by the Florence, Italy car dealership, and that were now currently at her disposal. One particular though caught her eyes, the neon blue paint stood out against the black painted vehicles, the Mini Coupe calling to her like a siren to a sailor.
She knew now what her aunt had been thinking when she'd stolen the car when she and her mother had come to Italy to stop her father. Running over to it, she looked around the empty garage and looked out into the city of Florence, it was still dark out and no one would notice it missing for a few more hours, and at the speed she'd be going it would only take her two in a half hours to get there according to her calculations. Renesmee pressed down on the handle finding that it was unlocked she smiled as she jumped in and placed her bag in the passenger seat, with that she opened up the bottom panel where the engine wires were. It was a good thing that she'd actually paid attention when Rose had been teaching her about cars and their makings, and how to drive them when she was fifteen. The engine roared to life and she sat up fixing the seat so she could see the rode, and fixing the mirrors as well, shutting the door she smiled to herself in the rear view mirror.
"Let's hope Aro actually doesn't hold grudges." She said to herself as she pulled out of the space and drove out of the dealerships car garage.
Unfortunately for her mother she'd inherited her fathers love for fast and expensive cars, it was a nightmare come true for Bella when Edward had bought her a Lamborghini Diablo for her sixteenth birthday in pink on black.
Yes she's been spoiled, but also thoroughly disciplined, to be quiet truthful this was the first time she'd actually considered doing something suggested by her mischievous aunt, and the first time she's ever broken any rules set by her parents. Surely if they knew where she was, and what she'd just done, and what she was planning to do she'd get a good slap in the face from both her parents. The city before her quickly passed by as she increased speed, hurrying to reach her destination, she needed to beat the sun for her plan to work out, and if everything went precisely to plan she would make it before sunrise, and she would make that little blonde pay for ever hurting her father.
The view began to change and she found herself passing through fields, Italy was so beautiful, even during the dark hours. The cool summer peaceful breeze running against her skin as she hung it out the window, the cloudless sky, the star filled atmosphere was just breathtaking and something she would have never expected, but then again she didn't know what she suppose to expect, her parents had told her that the Volturi were a cruel coven and that they were extremely dangerous, while her grandfather Carlisle would often tell her that the leading coven was very strict on rules, and that they did the horrible things they did to protect the vampire race, and to protect their provisions as well, but she'd never had heard anything bad about them from him, but then again he hardly liked to talk much about them unlike her parents did when the subject would come up.
Once she got to that town everything would change, she wouldn't be able to say for better or worse, but she knew that something would happen, and her adventures would begin.
….. If she got to Italy so far without the guards already on a country wide search for her then she was clear. It was scary the connections her parents had, well her grandfather at least, why Aro would talk to him as if they were already old colleagues before a battle.
La Push Reservation
Leah rubbed Jacobs shoulder as she sat down next to him on the couch, pitying him for what had happened. It was suppose to be the happiest day of his life, and because of the little half breed it was the worst day of his life, she knew from the very beginning that the little monster was trouble in a bottle. Though she never said anything being as she was Jacobs imprinted, as well as the girl had done nothing before this to give her reason to confirm her true suspicions. It was unknown what would happen now that Renesmee refused to marry him, to be with him, the younger girl was Jacob's world, his oxygen, his heart, and brain, and she was everything to him because of the imprinting. Not even Billy or Carlisle could say what would happen to Jacob with his imprintee's rejection, but she knew for a fact that the effects of her being gone for the last twenty six hours was weighing down on her leader.
Jacob was becoming hysterical; it had taken them a whole hour just to get him to give up searching for clues to where Renesmee would go. She'd taken all her passports, and they'd found that she' also taken out the tracker her father put in years back, leaving the packs as well as the Cullen's at a dead end. They'd tracked her all the way to the Seattle international airport, it was unfortunate but Edward Cullen had passed his speed to Renesmee, it had probably only taken her about ten minutes to get from Forks to Seattle at her full speed, and it was unknown which plane she took either.
Leah turned her attention back to Jacob, his body was slouched, his eyes dyed in agony while he stared at the set of gold rings that had belonged to his parents once. He looked as if he was dead, his eyes were red and puffy, black circles forming from lack the lack of sleep he'd had. She was sure that in his mind he was blaming himself for it all, when in truth it wasn't his, but it was Renesmee's fault for him being in the state he was at the moment, and Leah would rather be damned to hell than watch as he fell into a depression to deep to get out of, while she slept away all her problems in some five star luxury suite in another country.
The voice in her head was telling her that it was impossible, she was an imprinted, she wouldn't able to be away from Jacob, but perhaps it wasn't true, maybe if she was capable of rejecting Jacobs love, then she would be able to be away from him. It made absolutely no sense though, she'd heard Billy and Carlisle discuss a few times, and when Bella was pregnant she felt extremely saddened when Jacob would leave, because it was Renesmee who was saddened about his department.
Leah rubbed her head at the headache she was getting from all the thinking she was doing.
Although if Renesmee was saddened at Jacobs departure when she was still in Bella's womb, and Bella obviously being pregnant, would Bella's emotions be doubled because of the hormones and changes she was going through? Renesmee is an imprinted, and as a child Jacob had always treated her as a sister, a friend, perhaps because Renesmee was half vampire she would be very sentimental about things, this proven many times through the years. Vampires were very emotional creatures, and Renesmee was half, and Bella was human at the time, and the pregnancy made her just as emotional as a vampire probably. Would it have been possible that Renesmee's feelings had quadrupled Bella's feelings?
"Hey how's he doing?" A voice asked suddenly causing Leah to jump from her spot from shock.
She turned around to found Seth leaning against the wall, and turned back to see Jake still in his spot, she shook her head as she turned back to look at her brother, tilting her head towards the kitchen silently telling him to follow.
Walking into the room Leah finally spoke. "I need you to stay her with him." She said quietly
"Why where are you going?" He asked as he looked towards Jake.
"I have to ask Carlisle something very important … Just stay and make sure he doesn't do anything drastic." Leah said as she grabbed the car keys off the table.
"You'll get their faster on foot." Seth said.
"I need to get some air, his depression is starting to grab on to me." Leah said.
Seth nodded in understanding, before he went to the living room to sit down with Jake.
Leah walked outside slowly taking her time as she started the car.
With Renesmee in Italy
Renesmee Blinked as she found herself rolling up to Volterra, even with the miles between her and the walls of the city she could still see everything so clearly.
Looking at the clock she found that it was only six twenty in the morning. Her brain began to rack her memories for where her mother had said the entrance to the Volturi's subversive castle was in the story she'd told her. The words clock tower, and fountain finally popped up, and she shifted gears and stomped down on the gas. A thought had formed in her head in the time she'd been driving, and the thought would get her into a lot of trouble with her parents, and Alice would most likely give her an award that showed how proud she'd be of her.
As the gates to the entrance of the city got closer, Renesmee used one of her hands to slip her seat belt on.
The mini crashed into the gate, some of the iron from the gate, stabbing into her skin, causing her to bleed out some, in a few places. She was sure that the Volturi would come even quicker now with the scent of blood, even if they had a rule about not feeding from their own terrain, carnivorous vampires usually couldn't resist the scent of fresh blood, and she wasn't just about to walk into the lobby of the Volturi and demand to see them, that just wouldn't be good for her story, so she was going to make them come to her and take her to their leaders instead.
The car flew into the city along with the gate, it'd been so old that it just came right off its hinges, but strong enough to brake the front window and stab into her skin- she was half human, so her skin wasn't as impenetrable as her father, though it did regenerate just as fast, faster actually if she was being honest but she didn't feel the need to ever mention it to them, she needed some secrets. She grabbed onto the piece that was in her shoulder and pulled it out, a small cry escaping her lips as it did, unbuckling her seat she kicked the door open and tumbled out of the car.
She could hear the pitter patter of their feet, there were so many of them, but if what she heard was true, then only two of them would confront her. The sky was still slightly dark, which meant that they were free to roam the streets.
In no more than a second she jumped back at the sight of a tall figure stopping in front of her. They were fast, probably faster than her father, but only because of their fondness to human blood, she'd have to remember that for later times.
The vampire pulled their hood down to reveal dirty blonde hair, black eyes, and an overly confident smirk. His entire aura was nothing but pure demonic charm, so strong that it was practically smothering her mentally.
"Well what do we have here?" He said in a deep English accent.
"Obviously not a drunk party girl … clean as a whistle this one." Another male voice said. Renesmee's neck snapped to its right to find another had appeared. His hood still on, she could still see his pale white skin in the darkness, and he was tall, probably a good foot taller than her uncle Emmett, and a good two, maybe three feet taller than her, he was even more bulky than Emmett as well. Though neither was the vampire she was looking for, however she was positive the little blonde was lurking around somewhere watching.
Renesmee pressed herself further into the car as she heard the blonde's next words. "Definitely a virgin."
"We haven't had a virgin in such a long time." The one on her side said
"Demetri, Felix, have some manners and don't play with your food." A female voice spoke.
Renesmee's head then whipped to its left to find a small figure about the same size as her walking towards the three of them.
'That's the one.' Renesmee thought to herself, she looked behind the little vampress to the sky behind her to find the sky was beginning to lighten up some more. Just a little longer till sunrise.
The blonde vampire in front of her grabbed at Renesmee wrist, his cold hands bringing her into his body, causing her to break out of the thoughts. Growling at him she quickly twisted away from him using her human speed and kicked him away from her, she and the other two vampire's watched as the blonde skidded away from them.
Not long after the initial shock wore off, Renesmee was ducking out of the way from the giant one that had nearly pounced on her, jumping back into the car she slammed the door shut. Screaming as she watched the giant vampire tear it off viciously and throw it out of the way, while his partner, the blonde reached in and grabbed her leg, flinging her out of the car. She rolled out of the way again just in time to miss getting pounced on by the blonde, though to avoid being smashed by the big one, Renesmee rolled onto the blondes back. He switched their positions just as quickly. He was so close to her when she remembered that he was still a man, and reminded herself she was also a vampire, she shoved her knee into his groins, like any other man he cried out in pain and she took the opportunity to push him off herself.
Standing back up Renesmee began to walk over to the little blonde that had just stood there the entire time, only to double over in pain
"You know now that I think about it you don't smell like a normal human." The big one said as he walked up to her fallen form.
As the pain began to fade away into nothingness, Renesmee jumped up quickly and continued towards the little blonde that had been confirmed to be Jane. Using her vampire abilities she ran at the small vampress, and jumped behind her, quickly undoing her sash on her dress , she wrapped it over the blonde quicker than she could notice she was where she was, and when she did notice she struggled violently against Renesmee.
Renesmee smirked as she spoke. "Can't cause any pain if you can't see your enemy."
"Who the hell are you?!" Jane hissed out as she continued to struggle, but alas Renesmee was using all her strength to keep a hold on the vampire.
Ignoring Jane, Renesmee looked up at the sky and found that it was even lighter than before, she could begin too see the black begin to bleed slowly into the pinks, reds, and oranges that made up the dawn.
"Who am I? Well I guess I should tell you, it has been quiet some time since you've seen me anyhow." Renesmee said.
With those words she pulled down Jane's hood roughly right as the sun came up into the sky, and the rays lit their skin.
Demetri and Felix were frozen in place as they watched the Renesmee's skin glow before them, to any regular human, it might look like she was standing in the right place for the sun to do it, but they knew better.
"I'm the child you tried to kill eighteen years ago." She said before she slipped the pink sash off Jane's dazzling face and pushed her roughly at the other two vampires.
"Cullen." Felix finally said as he stared at the small girl in shock.
"Someone grew up." Demetri added as he looked Renesmee up and down.
Jane snarled at Renesmee only to have Demetri grab her and turn her away from the sight of the other girl.
"Isn't there a rule about killing a vampire if they expose themselves?!" Jane asked as she struggled with Demetri.
Renesmee's smirk widened as she spoke. "There is, but unfortunately my radiance can be considered an effect caused by the suns rays, as well as my current position. …. Although if there's anyone watching I'm sure their interested in your dazzling looks and why you speak of vampires as if they're real." She whispered quietly.
She squeaked though when she found Felix in her face. "You're coming with us." He said as he grabbed her arm and violently dragged her with him. She struggled out of his grasp speaking as she walked back to the destroyed car. "Wait I need my bag." She said as she looked around the car, she bent over an iron pole from the gate and grabbed her backpack.
When she stumbled out of the car again she sighed as she found Felix waiting for her, this time she held her arm out for him to take, watching him smile as he did, this time though his grip wasn't as rough.
As they walked out of the square Demetri finally spoke not turning to look at her though she knew there was that demonically charming smirk on his face the whole time.
"You do realize that if Aro decides to let you go, you're going to be fixing the gate."
Renesmee only smiled as she watched Jane struggle in the other blondes grasp, the pink sash had been tied back on her while both her hands were in the male vampires hands, dragging her behind him as he walked in front of them.
Luckily the fountain wasn't too far from the entrance to the Volturi's home.Walking into the office front that was empty, Renesmee held tightly to her bag, hoping with all her might that Aro didn't hold a grudge against her family. She was pushed into an elevator and she stumbled, all her strength was already beginning to dissipate and regulating back to its natural limitations.
"So is your mother still with Edward?" Felix asked as he broke the awkward silence in the small elevator.
Renesmee turned to the bigger vampire, looking up at him with wide, horrified eyes, her speech coming out tightly as she spoke. "Yes my mom is still with my dad."
The bigger vampire though didn't seem to notice her embarrassment as he spoke again.
"If she ever left him, you think maybe I'd have a chance with her?" Felix asked
This time her eyes were filled with amusement as she replied. "Would you be willing to go to the vegetarian side?"
Felix was quiet for a moment; only a moment to Felix was only a second or two. "Are you sure she wouldn't wasn't to give human blood a try?"
Renesmee's face fell into an annoyed frown. "Yes I'm sure."
"You sure about that? Because if she were to leave him wouldn't mean she'd tired of him, and if she's tired of him don't you think she'd be tired of hi-
-Felix shut up, your making her feel uncomfortable." Demetri said.
"Thank you." Renesmee said just as the elevator dinged and the doors to it opened.
They walked down the grand hall in a grateful silence, though for Renesmee her mind was screaming at her to run with every step she took. It was the voice that always did as her parents said, and it was screaming at her about how bad of an idea this was, as the large double doors got closer to her. Another voice popped into her head reminding her that Aro was smart, and if she ran, he was sure to alert her parent of where she'd been, or they'd merely catch her and drag her back. So when the doors were pushed open she made the decision to see what future held behind them.
"Felix, Demetri, Jane." Aro said carefully as they took in their appearance.
"Who's your deliciously smelling friend?" Caius asked
"Jane, darling why are you wearing that sash?" Aro asked.
Demetri sighed as he undid the sash and handed it back to Renesmee catching Aro's attention. He looked at her curiously as he spoke. "Who are you?"
Aro motioned for Jane to get closer and held out his hand, the small blonde gratefully gave him her hand. The room grew quiet as, Aro's eyes turned to her as he spoke in an awed voice. "Renesmee Cullen, what a surprise this is, we send Demetri and Felix out to see what all the commotion is, and you blindside them … all of them." He said as he let go of Jane's hand.
He walked up to her and took her hand forcefully, he spoke giddily. "Why what an interesting life you've led …. Though, you're so sad most of the time, it's not the life you want to live." He said as he closed his eyes.
That smile went further as he looked down at her. "Even though you don't want to be under your parent's thumbs, you still decided to get revenge for your father on Jane for what she did the last time he was here." He let go of her hands and clapped his own together as he stared down at her giddily.
"My have you grown into an exceptional young woman, such a beauty to look upon as well, right brothers." Aro said.
"Mouthwatering like her mother was." Caius said.
"A sight to behold." Marcus said.
"What does she want?" Caius asked suddenly.
"Dear Renesmee is here to hide from the rest of the Cullen's and her fiancé." Aro replied.
"She barely looks old enough to wed, though those Cullen's do love their weddings, she's barely fourteen, sixteen and already they're marrying her off the first human she develops feelings for." Caius said.
"She's eighteen brother, and she was marrying no human, she was imprinted on the day she was born by the leader of those wolves they were with that day. …. But Renesmee here didn't want to, and Alice was nice enough to tell her what choices were in front of her." Aro replied.
"With her being human is it possible for her to sire a child with the shifters?" Marcus asked.
"Yes." Aro replied worriedly.
Caius spoke up finally his voice filled with rage. "And still they were going to marry her to him; they would have sired a monstrosity together!"
"Yes ….. And deep down Renesmee was afraid of that as well, it's another reason why she ran away from her wedding." Aro said as he continued to stare at her.
Marcus spoke up with curiosity as his vivid red eyes looked to her. "She ran away from her wedding?"
Caius snorted as he spoke. "Clearly, take away the blood and I'm sure it'll be considered a wedding gown."
Aro spoke up finally silencing the other two. "Brothers quiet …. Now Renesmee what do we do with you?" Aro asked her as he placed his hands onto her shoulders, she watched as a necklace dangled from his neck, and instantly she remembered the beautiful necklace she'd found.
Aro turned away from her quickly as he contemplated his question to himself. Renesmee took the time to unzip her backpack and grabbed the box; she slipped her bag onto her shoulder and spoke hesitantly.
" …. I think this belongs to you." She said.
Aro turned around quickly at the sound of her voice and smiled. "Such a beautiful harmony your voice is to my ears." He said as he took the box from her.
Opening the box he smiled down at the necklace. "Such a silly way to determine your destination." He said.
"Is that not the gift you sent to Edward & Isabella for their wedding?" Marcus asked.
" …. It turns out Isabella doesn't like expensive gifts given to her." Aro replied.
"Aro have you decided what you wish to do with her?" Caius asked.
Aro smiled at her as he spoke. "Darling Renesmee I would love to have you stay here with us, but of course you will have to do something in return for us."
"I refuse to join the guard … and drink from a human." Renesmee said
"Oh no, nothing like that child, I was hoping you would take the place of you grandfather." Aro said.
Renesmee lifted a neatly trimmed brow and stared at Aro questioningly, he frowned in return. "How silly of me, I forgot they never told you about your grandfathers past. … Carlisle was our companion, he stayed here with us for many centuries before he decided to leave us, and since then we haven't found anyone interesting enough to replace him."
Renesmee's eyebrow lifted higher as she spoke. "When you say companion do you mean friend or ….?"
She didn't know how it was possible but Aro's smile widened impossibly more as he explained to her. "Friend of course, my brothers and I have had to use each other as one another's company for so long that we are becoming irritated with each other. All I ask for is someone to converse with really"
Sounded reasonable, if she was stuck with her mother and father or any of her family to talk with only, then she'd be asking the first person that she found interesting as well. She wanted to accept, she was going to except, but her curiosity was getting the best of her, the stupid 'What if's' were popping out from her mouth.
"What if I don't except?" Renesmee asked.
Aros' smile turned mischievous as he replied "Well you can leave, if you can get past my children of course that is, and if you do happen to get past them I'd be forced to have to contact your family letting them know where you'd been, and to make sure you got home safely I'd offer Demetri to them to help them track you down and take you home, and if you don't get passed the others, you'll stay here until your parents can come for you."
"You wouldn't." Renesmee said.
"Oh but dear Renesmee you already know I would." Aro said.
Caius spoke again this time addressing Renesmee. "So girl what are you going to do?"
Renesmee sighed softly before she replied, though she knew all along what she was going to do anyways. "It's not like I wasn't going to except, so yes, I will be your companion for my duration here."
Aro smiled as he clapped his hands together. "That's a good girl; now Felix if you would escort Renesmee to the North wing, I'm sure she'll adore the chambers of Sirena della Signora."
"Yes master." Felix said as he pulled Renesmee away.
Though their path was blocked as Jane appeared in front of them her red eyes narrowed in anger. A blink and Renesmee was falling to the ground in pain again, she found that it was no use asking for help, Aro was most likely examining the situation and wondering if it was right or not to stop it.
The pain began to fade away and Felix pulled Renesmee up by her arm. She ripped her arm out of his hand and quickly grabbed at Jane's neck, throwing her onto the marble floor, holding her in place as she replayed the memory and the pain she'd just felt for the blondes entertainment, showing her exactly what it felt like.
She could hear Aro laughing manically, and she watched as Jane screamed and writhed in pain that was from herself. Felix though ruined it and pulled her off the older vampire, only to have Jane tear her away from him and throw her to the ground, the two girls went at it, and Aro smiled as he watched their bodies blurs pass him from left to right as they fought. He was holding the others back from interrupting the dispute.
From the corner of his eye he watched as Alec came up from behind him. "Alec my son, right on time as always, care to watch the show?" He asked.
Though it was too late, the younger vampire had already disappeared and was pulling the two girls apart from each other. He sighed, saddened that his entertainment had come to an unfortunate end.
Felix had Jane locked against his body as she struggled to break free from him while, Alec held Renesmee by the arm, both girls growling at one another.
"My lovely girls please there no need to fight." Aro said as he came up to Renesmee and grabbed her hands again.
"Brothers, she can mimic her emotions and feelings with a single touch, how wonderful is that?!" Aro asked.
"Interesting what more can she do?" Caius asked.
"Yes, Renesmee what more can you do?" Aro asked.
Renesmee smirked at the blonde girl as she replied. "I can touch fire … and not combust."
Aro grinned. "Fascinating isn't she brothers."
"The other couldn't do that." Marcus said.
"Because he's a male, males have venom remember, females don't." Aro replied happily before he turned to Jane.
"Let her go, she needs to wash herself up." Aro said as he turned back to Renesmee.
"Felix show Renesmee to her chambers."Aro ordered as he turned away from her and went back to his seat.
Alec let go of Renesmee and looked down at the small girl, his mind searching for the reason why the name sounded so familiar. He watched as Renesmee left the room with Felix, and turned back to Aro with a questioning look upon his angelic features. Aro ignore him though as he went to sit in his chair, staring at a box.
Jane growled capturing his attention, and he turned to find his sister on the floor, a bone pocking out of her body. Walking towards her he crouched down and picked her up. When he stood up he carried his sister bridal style, nodding at the three elders before leaving the back way.
"I hate Cullen's." Jane spit out.
"Renesmee Cullen ….. That's why the name sounded so familiar." Alec said as he walked out of the throne room with Jane still in his arms.
Jane said nothing as Alec carried her the rest of the way to her room.
Meanwhile Felix and Renesmee were stuck in another bout of awkward silence, with Felix staring at Renesmee the entire time in the cramped elevator.
Finally he spoke breaking the silence as he did so. "You know, now that Aro mentions it, you are actually very beautiful." He said.
It had been an unexpected curve ball and Renesmee couldn't avoid the blush that crept across her cheeks, they deepened considerably as he continued to speak. "You blush like your mother …. Since your half vampire does that mean that a vampire can feed from you without you turning?"
She spoke finally quickly changing the subject. "You have a room called Lady Siren?"
Felix stared at her silently, before he spoke again. "You understand Italian?"
Bella replied quickly. "Half vampire remember, I learn things quickly and easily ….. I know quiet a bit of languages because of it."
Felix nodded his head in understanding and the elevator dinged then, the doors opening for them to leave the small space.
"Right now follow me Miss. Cullen." Felix said as he grabbed Renesmee's arms and dragged her out of the elevator.
"I can walk on my own you know." Renesmee hissed as she ripped her arm out of his grasp.
Felix only quirked a brow as he spoke. "For a hybrid you're unusually strong …. Nahuel wasn't even as strong & he's a whole century older than you." He said.
Renesmee stopped in her tracks at the mention of the kind older man. "You know Nahuel?" She asked.
Felix smirked down at her in amusement. "Well what do you know … You hybrids don't have networks like us full-blooded vampires' do-
-Cut the crap how do you know Nahuel?" Renesmee asked as she cut Felix off from his teasing.
The taller of the two frowned mumbling something under his breath about Cullen's, before he spoke again. "After we left from Forks eighteen years ago, Aro sent a few of us to South America to get Joham, Nahuel's father, and his sisters, well by the time we got there, Joham had already gotten wind of us, and I guess he thought we were going to exterminate his daughters, and him, probably thinking he broke the law or something on those lines because when we arrived the girls were all dead, and Joham was no where to be find. ….. So Aro sent us to Chile to ask Nahuel to come stay with us for a little while to do some tests to see the difference and the similarities between us and you." Felix explained.
"You experimented on Nahuel!" Renesmee asked angrily.
Felix raised his hands defensively as he spoke. "We did it with his permission."
Renesmee backed down after that but asked another question. "He left alive and well?"
"Very … Of course he was also given the task of finding as many of you there was, despite the fact that you are human, you are also a vampire, and vampires listen to Aro, because he is the law."
"I don't know whether to believe you or not." Renesmee said as Felix pushed her foreword instead of replying to her comment.
"Come on now little Cullen, you need to get yourself cleaned up, and prepare for the day, knowing how Aro is, he's probably planned out your entire stay." Felix said as he walked down the grandiose hall.
Renesmee looked down at her clothes and remembered she needed to go shopping. "I hope Aro wouldn't mind postponing these plans of his, I need to go shopping … I was in such a hurry that other than this dress, I have only one other outfit on me."
"He knows, if he hadn't, he would have ordered me to either take you back to the throne room, or to wherever he was going to be, but seeing as he didn't means that he already knows what you plan to do, so your free to do whatever until he summons you … in which one of us will come and escort you to where he is."
"I won't always have to have an escort will I?" Renesmee asked.
"Only until you've memorized the layout of the castle."
Felix stopped at large double doors that ascended high above her.
"This will be the room for your entire stay." Felix said as he pulled out a ring of keys, using one that had a design of a mermaid on its handle.
"Are all the doors locked around here?" Renesmee asked as she watched him unlock the door. Felix replied easily. "Only the vacant rooms, & if you don't want anyone to go in they usually put their names on the list for the maids."
"Oh." Renesmee replied as Felix pushed open the door revealing a gorgeous bedroom.
"Oh wow." Renesmee gasped as she walked into the enormous bedroom.
"Welcome to the Sirena della Signora." Felix said as he watched her.
The walls were a dark tear, the ceiling high and aloud strips of natural light in. They were currently standing in the sitting area that was simple and elegant all at the same time, two small couches were on different sides of the room, two ceiling fans above them and two large portraits. A large square archway separating the couches, and the sitting room from the bedroom, with a bed in the center of the room, and a bench at the center of the foot, all brown and whiter decorations like the sitting area.
"Well I'll leave you to do whatever you're going to do, the key is still in the door … don't lose it." Felix said as he walked out of the room quietly.
Renesmee paid him no heed as she twirled around the large room.
'God it's beautiful.'She thought to herself. Walking to into the bedroom she sighed as she set her backpack onto the large bed. The walls were the same dark teak, the bed canopy was the same beautiful snow white as the sheets and couches.
"Talking about to escaping to paradise." Renesmee said to herself as she examined to the room. There was another double doors entrance which she guessed was the bathroom, the ceiling was the same as the sitting room as well. She was taken out of her musings though when a knock was at her door, but before she could even answer the door was being pushed open revealing a long legged mahogany haired beauty, walking into the room, and before she could blink the red eyed vampiress was in front of her.
"Renesmee Cullen, my have you grown." She said with a smug smirk on her face.
Renesmee cocked an eyebrow at the woman as she spoke. "You obviously know who I am, but who are you?" She asked.
The woman laughed for a moment before she finally introduced herself. "Forgive my rudeness, I'm Chelsea del Volturi, you probably don't remember any of us, you were still a little thing when we first saw you."
"Then a proper introduction is needed." A male voice said, alerting both women. Renesmee caught Chelsea's annoyed look before she spoke to the man. He was the blonde that had first tried to feed from her.
"Don't you have any manners?" Chelsea asked.
The blonde only smirked at the brunette before he turned his attention to Renesmee, that charming smirk of his still in place. "Demetri del Volturi."He said as he took her hand and kissed the top of it, he pulled away with that smirk still in place.
"Such warm skin." He said.
Renesmee rolled her eyes as she lined up the dots in her head. Still manners were manners she could show him a little before she called him out.
"Renesmee Cullen." She replied as nicely as she could.
Chelsea decided to jump in then. "Now that we all know each other, will you leave?" She asked Demetri.
It was obvious to Renesmee that Chelsea and Demetri had some sort of dysfunctional history together by the way the beautiful vampress was practically pushing the blonde out of the room. Demetri though seemed undeterred by the other woman as he ignored her.
"So Renesmee I'm aware that your fiancé sees that you don't want to marry him, perhaps maybe sometime you'd like to-
-No." Renesmee cut off harshly. Demetri's eyes widened in shock, while Chelsea smiled smugly at him. "I'm sorry but I don't waste precious time with womanizers, and you are a womanizer, so if you will be on your way so I can get ready." She continued
It didn't take long for Demetri to grasp the painfully obvious message, so it was expected when he stormed out of the room angrily like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Wow I haven't seen Demetri so embarrassed in over two hundred years." Chelsea said with that smug smile still in tact.
Renesmee sighed as she turned to the other woman as she spoke tiredly. "Was there a reason you came here?" She asked
Chelsea's smile turned soft as she replied. "Aro sent me to tell you to be out side in front of the office and wait for your escort there, and leave your clothes in the bathroom for the maids to pickup."
Renesmee nodded her head in understand .
"Okay then I'll be going now."She said as she spun on her heels.
"Oh yeah one more thing." Chelsea said as she spun back around to Renesmee and handed her the key to the room.
"Thank you." Renesmee said.
Chelsea smiled brightly at her before she skipped away her voice singing a beautiful reply back. "It was nice to meet you Renesmee."
She would've never guessed that the Volturi had a cheerful female member & a womanizer within their guard. Shaking her head she crossed the room to the double doors using her vampire speed and locked it before running back to the bedroom, reaching behind her she undid the zipper of her dress as she walked to the entrance of the bathroom. Opening one of the doors she walked into the large and beautiful lavatory, the walls were the same teak as the room and the floor a gorgeous brown marble, a built in vanity was at the end of the bathroom, a wall separating it from the sink, right next to the vanity was another door as well. The shower was on the left side of the room, the tub was on the left, and next to the double doors where she stood was a dark teak armoire. Walking over to the last door, she opened it and found a spacious walk in closet, with dark teak wood, and champagne marble colored granite tops for the dressers, it was completely empty though.
Walking out she walked over to the armoire and opened it, finding a few towels in it. Closing it she walked over to the shower stall opening the clear door she hung the towel over the stall reaching for the hot water knob she turned it all the way. When the room was steamy and moist, she slipped out of her strapless bra and panties and stepped into the clear, and fogged stall.
It was in there that her mind wondered over to her family in Forks, her mother was probably having a breakdown, her father looking under every crevice and rock he could see. Alice was most likely hiding with Jasper protecting her from anybody who became her enemy, Rose was most likely helping Alice some way and her father in another, Emmett right along with her. Carlisle was helping everyone, with Esme caring for all of them, both keeping close eyes on her parents, and Charlie probably didn't know as always.
Then there was Jacob, she couldn't even think of what he was doing, it could be moaning in pain and falling into a depression so deep he couldn't come out that was caused by her abandonment. He could even be searching high & low for her, tiring out the whole pack, he himself, and refusing to give up, worse scenario he was fighting with anyone who got on his bad side.
Deep down though she knew it had to be, she couldn't allow them to control her, and she wouldn't continue to be in a one-sided relationship anymore. She was a grown woman now, she needed to live life, experience things, learn from people and experiences, and she needed to make her own decisions. Sad as it was every mistake she'd ever made her parents always took the blame for her, that wasn't how it was suppose to be though. There would've come a time where the punishment could be something even she knew they couldn't take for her.
So if it meant having to run to the people her parents wanted nothing to do with, then so be it.
Watching the blood mix with the water, and go down the drain she sighed, hoping that, that wasn't what was going to happen to her.
Well Thanks for reading.
1) I'm mixing movies, and books together, so the characters look like the ones in the movies.
2)If you want too see my version of eighteen year old Renesmee then check out the link on my profile, and you'll also find some more links to other stuff later on., she doesn't look eighteen, but a bit younger thought it would go nice with the Alec character
Anymore questions?
