I tried my best to protect you; but it only led us here.

Oh, my beautiful, sweet child, the end is coming near.

I promised I would try, and that's all I could ever want.

You'll be with him don't worry; this day is likely to haunt.

I love you baby, so here is one last kiss.

I don't know if I'll survive; shame it just had to end…like this.

Reneesme's P.O.V.

So young, and yet I understood so much already. We had one of two choices right now: one: be mutilated by the Volturi, or two: fight…and hopefully all, if not most, of us leave here alive. If that's what you want to call it. I glanced around at everyone's fighting stances. Mama was protecting all of us with her shield. Mama. I almost burst out into broken sobs right then and there. She was willing to sacrifice her immortal life just so that I could live forever. She was amazing. And so was everyone else here. The Denali, the Egyptians, the Amazons, the Irish, the Romanians, and let's not forget about the American and European Nomads. There were so many of us, but why do I have this churning in my stomach? Like someone was twisting my body to squeeze out any hope that I had remaining to be able to walk home in my parents arms. Oh, right. It's because the Volturi was the most terrifying group of vampires that we have ever encountered before in this 'life.' I gazed at my dad. His smooth, icy skin was crinkled into a devastated look. He understood the choices as well. I whimpered and I think everyone heard. Stupid super-sonic vampire ears. Everyone turned around to face me, and at that moment, I wish they hadn't. They all noticed me, but I was looking right through them, just watching if the Volturi would attack us, knowing that I was everybody's main concern and reason for even participating in this possible battle between good and evil.

"Reneesme…" I heard Mama whisper. "Don't worry, sweetie."

I knew she was trying so hard not to collapse to her knees right then and there. But it was obvious that the only thing that was keeping her body standing was her determination. It still sickens me, to this day, that she was so vulnerable and fragile and now she's standing completely on her own. Now I sounded like the mother in this situation. But if anything were to happen. Who would I have left? I'm still a child, but with a mental capacity of that of an adult. I need her. I need my dad. I need to get out of here. That was my only wish.

No one had stopped beating their eyes on me. I felt like I was on stage in front of millions and the spotlight was on me. I shouldn't be the center of attention. Not now. They need to all watch their own back. Not just mine.

My eyes flew to Jane and she had the tiniest hint of a smirk plastered on her face. Disgusting. I felt like I wanted to throw myself at her and just beat her to a pulp. My eyes followed as a gray mist emitted from her and was sent our direction. My jaw dropped. She was trying to attack us while everyone's guard was down.

"Mama! Daddy! She's attacking!" As much as I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, a low murmur was all that was able to escape my mouth. The churning in my stomach intensified. Everyone turned around and gasped as the Volturi lunged in our direction.

Mama threw a bag towards Jacob and he caught it in his teeth. She kissed his furry head and mine as well. She wouldn't have…

"Take care of her Jake. She's my everything." She planned this all along. She knew that if there was a fight, that Jake would be the only one capable of protecting me.

Jacob whimpered below me and I pulled his fur into my clenched fists. This can't be happening.

"Be strong, Nessie." Daddy walked fast towards me. He didn't understand what Mama had planned, but he knew that she was hiding something.

I felt a sudden movement under my body. "Jacob, don't leave." I was suddenly overwhelmed by the fierce strength behind my words.

Too bad it didn't pay off. Jacob turned his back on everyone and with that, he lunged into the trees. I glanced back. I needed to remember. And it was truly unlikely that I would forget this day either. I watched as Jane lunged straight for Mama, while Demetri had moved towards Daddy, then Aro to Carlisle, etc. Either way, when I looked back. I was so terrified that this just may be the last time I may ever get to see the Cullens ever again. The Cullens were more than just the Olympic coven. They were my family.

I couldn't rip my eyes away from the terrible scene. I saw fire and smoke and limbs flying like daggers. So much for hope. I watched them get farther and farther away. This was it. The fight had begun.

Please read and review. This is my first fanfic and I wanted to just give it a try. Tell me what you think(: poem=Bella's P.O.V.
