Chapter 1: Bargain
Renesmee's POV
As Jane's smile faded, we all noticed the man standing next to her. Aro looked pained, almost. Like he was a kid looking at a plate of warm cookies just before dinner. Like he was looking at something he wanted so badly that was right in front of him. I followed his gaze. He was staring directly at Alice.
"Hello again dear friends," He said despite his ever present stare,"Are you surprised to see us?"
"Hello Aro," My father said,"It would seem that you have been using a loophole in Alice's gift that would just happen to be my daughter,"
"It would seem that it would be that way, as I have come with a proposition for you and your family,"
"No, Aro,"
"But they haven't even heard what I have to say"
"Fine. Then, tell them,"
"Friends, Jane and I would like to extend an invitation to be a part of our Gaurd,"
No one said anything.
"It would seem that we have found a charge against you. Jane, if you would so kindly state what our friends' charge is?"
"Informing a human of the existance of vampires,"
"And what happens to humans that know?"
"They are killed," Jane said. The smile was back.
"And, if I may ask, which human did we inform?" My father interrogated.
"Charlie Swan,"
"No!" The words flew out of my mother's mouth,"He barely knows!"
"Ah, but that is where we come in with our proposition. If all of you come with us, we will leave Charlie alone. If you decline, all of you, as well as Charlie, will be sentanced to death,"
Again, silence.
After a long moment, my father spoke,"Please, give me some time to talk with my family,"
"Very well," Aro complied.
After a long while of talking, we had our answer ready.
