Bella Swan stood at the edge of the crowd beside her husband Edward and her child renesmee looking out at the disappearing vulturie and sighed in relief.
"its all over." She looked to the owner of the voice and saw Jacob. He must have put some pants on earlier because he stood behind her in human form with that all to well known wolf grin.
"yes it is. Thankfully…"
Alarmed at the sudden deep and majestic voice, she looked towards her right, over renesemee and saw a man that looked about 20 leaning on a tree. He had straight black hair that went over his left eye, but not enough to hide a black eye patch.
His clothes consisted of all black. Black fingerless gloves, a black net shirt, black pants with chains, black converse shoes, and a black trench coat. He had a piercing on his lip, his cartilage, his eyebrow, and, from what she could see, his nipples.
The smell that flowed through her nostrils was not human, vampiric, nor werewolf. Her eyebrows pushed together and formed a confused line as she smelt the husky scent again and again.
Bella heard a rustle beside her and looked up to see her family, Carlisle at the front.
"and who may you be?" Carlisle's voice was calm and patient even though they had just came out from a huge dilemma.
The man's lips twitched a bit, seeming to avoid smirking as he looked up at them to reveal sapphire blue eyes to say "my name is not your concern at this point in time."
His voice lingered in Bella's ears, something about it was so…familiar.
"Have we met before?" The words flowed so easily from her mouth that she was surprised. Talking to him was so easy, yet she didn't know why. In none of the memories that she could remember was this man but she couldn't help the feeling of nostalgia that kept coming every time he spoke. It was like talking to someone in which she couldn't remember their name yet she's known them for a long time. The problem was, she didn't know him…as she has remembered before, he wasn't in any of her memories from being neither vampire nor human.
Finally tearing her gaze away from the strange man, she looked over her side to find that Edward had a frustrated look on his face. She recognized this expression from somewhere…
I remember now, it was from when we first met…when he tried to read my mind, but if that's so, then that means…
She looked over at the man, looking him over once again. This was getting complicated, if what she thought was right, then he might be a powerful foe.
Something rustled again and she looked over to find that some of the vampires that helped them were lingering at the forest, torn between staying and finding who this person is, and leaving to go back from whence they came. Most of them though, had already gone from the scene.
There was a tug at the end of her sleeve and she looked down to see renesemee pulling repeatedly at her arm. Bella bent down to her height and picked her up, then stood.
"What's wrong?"
She expected renesmee to touch her cheek and send her images of what she wanted, but she did something she did not ever expect to happen…she spoke.
Renesmee pointed over the man and said "don't you remember mommy? That's Jeremy."
