Falling Away

Disclaimer: I do not own anything Twilight or Corporation (walmart, starbucks ect.) Related. Extraneous characters are mine.

Summary: What happens after Edward and Bella mysteriously vanish, Renesmee gets pregnant-with Jacob freaking out in joy, Carlisle has to decide wether to let me stay, and my lover turns out to be one of the world's most evil vampires? And How in the hell did I even get involved with the world's most wonderful 'vegitarian' vampires? We'll just have to see what happens when someone like me lives in a messed up world. .:Note:. okay i had a friend talk me out of giving up on twilight so I'll continue there will be more of the Cullens and Jacob in this chap. The first was basicaly just an introduction of my Niamh and Nico. I am neither on Team Edward or Team Jacob, so don't expect any extra fluff towards either of them. I am on Team Who Cares Its the Writer's Effing Choice. (and Jasper/Alice):) Remember, while this is a Twilight Fanfic, the main charrie is my own creation. We will follow her, but she will be following the cullens, the volturi and naturally everyone's fave wolf pack. Enjoy. Ich liebe Jasper!!!

Last Time in Falling Away:

Naturally I would figure out a way to escape to find Nicolo and I would do everything in my power to save him. I would use the ace up my sleeve that even he was unaware of. I closed my eyes as a gentle rain began to fall and turned my face upward to the heavens. I could smell him on the jacket, feel his arm around me. I could even hear his voice in the back of my mind comforting me like before. I opened my eyes and rose slowly. I turned back towards the houses on the reservation with a determined mind set. I closed myself off to everything and walked back to really meet the people who would be my "protectors."

"Welcome back. Time for proper introductions, now that you aren't mortified." The tall blonde doctor smiled. "My name is Carlisle and this is my wife Esme."

"I'm Renesmee, Jacob is my husband. This is Bella, my mom, and Edward, my dad." The brown eyed girl grinned pointing to Bella, who had growled at me and a man I had not previously met with golden eyes and honey-brown hair. Of course, I had seen him in Renesmee's images.

"Ahm. . Mom and dad?" I looked puzzled. They both looked so young. Of course. . . They were vampires. . .

"It's a loooonnnngggg story." Bella sighed.

"I'm Alice! This is Jasper!" The eccentric looking girl looped her arm through the stiff looking man's and pulled him forward.

"I'm Leah. You'll meet the rest of the Pack later." The only Quileute girl present nodded.

"The only pair we're missing are Rosalie and Emmett. I already showed them to you, of course." Renesmee beamed.

"My name is Niamh. I'm from a small town on Ireland's coast, just belo' Dublin," I nodded, giving a small smile.

"Oh your accent is awesome! I can tell we'll be good friends!" Alice bounced over and hugged me. "This will be so much fun. Don't worry about Nicolo so much, I'm sure he can handle himself."

"Easy Alice, don't strain yourself." Edward rolled his eyes. I could see a form of irritation cross through his honey colored eyes when he looked at me. I could feel him trying to read my thoughts. Just one part of the ace I had.

"You can stop trying to read me, young Mr. Cullen. You cannot do it. Not unless I allow it, which is not happening any time soon. My head is a private place and I'll thank you to let me keep it that way." I smiled coolly. The group stared, dumb founded. "Call it a gift. Not much else to call it."

"You are an interesting girl, to have your ability so well manifested as a human." Carlisle mused. I only smiled wider and thought to my self, you don't even know the half of it. I sat down on the couch indicated by Jacob. This should have surprised me. I should have been half scared to death because I should have been thinking I was insane. Instead, I had calmly accepted the existance of these vampires and. . .Could I really call the pack werewolves? They were more like shapeshifters or something. Of course, having my own connection to the surreal helped, I supposed.

I had clearly drifted off into my own little lala land again because I found myself muttering a half-out-of-it 'huh?' to Jacob, who was waving his hand infront of my face. "Hello? Earth to Niamh. Is any one there?"

"I got it, loud and clear. Thank you. You can stop now." I shook my head and swatted his hand away. "I apologize I have this horrible habit of drifting off into my own world from time to time. But, at least, they all know me there so it's okay." I got a few laughs off that one. I was beginning to get a bit more comfortable around them.

"So Nimah?" Alice ventured. "How old are you anyway?"

"I just turned nineteen." I answered without missing a beat. "I have a feeling that's far younger than any of you." Laughter. Oh joy, I was the baby here too. Born in mid-winter, I was hard pressed to find someone not older than me in school as I had went in a year early. Intellectually gifted, they called me. I simply understood that I wasn't the average human. Dumb as a box of rocks.

"Very accurate. I myself am the oldest in this family. Born in 18th century Europe. I suppose Jasper is the next oldest. Early to mid 19th century, we aren't really sure about Alice, but we think she's about a hundred and fourty or so. Edward was born just before the turn of the 20th century so he's about a hundred and twenty or so. Bella's only just changed recently, she's about fourty. And Rosalie and Emmet are close to Edward and Alice. Renesmee, Jacob and Leah-along with the rest of the pack range between twenty two and fourty-two. Not that anyone really looks it besides Sam, who recently retired form the pack. Yes, it is safe to say, you are the 'baby' of sorts. Congratulations Renesmee, some one is younger than you." Carlisle added to his 'granddaughter.' I face-palmed and sighed. I just couldn't win. More laughter. What the fuck? Was I some new form of entertainment? The Black Irish Girl with Wierd Powers who is Really Young? It's a title and a half, but that seemed to be the sum of it. That or I had just met the happiest people on earth.

"Really, Edward, stop trying. My guard is yet to have fallen. You're going to strain yourself, or worse embarass yourself. I'm young and hardheaded, not soft and pathetic." I rolled my eyes.

"It was worth a shot," He shrugged. "Come on Bella. I think it's time we leave. Rosalie and Emmet are waiting." A thought flashed across Edward's mind, directed at me, Alright new kid, I know you can hear me. Block Alice. She can't see out future right now, it's a surprise. Can you manage it?

I almost snikered out loud, Can I manage? Puh-leez, clearly you read me while I was out cold. You know I can. But, the question remains, can you keep my ace a secret? He looked surprised for a moment when I let him read my answer, but nothing else in my head. He gave a small smile and nodded.

You're on kid. See you in Dublin. With that, the pair were gone. Hmm, Dublin, huh? I could sense an image beginning to form in Alice's mind, flashes of green that could have been Ireland's or Scotland's rolling hills. I cut it off just as she began to space out. She looked puzzled for a moment and tried to see. Nothing. Her forehead creased with worry. Esme and Renesmee acted at the same time, turning to look at her. Jacob and Carlisle followed suit. I sat quietly, curious as to just what the Cullen pair was going to Dublin for.

"What's the matter, Alice?" Esme asked softly.

"I can't see. I can't see Bella and Edward at all. Their future is blank to me. So are Rosalie and Emmet's until they veer from Edward and Bella. I don't understand. It was like the vision was taken from me a moment ago." Alice frowned. The rest of the Cullens began to look worried. I remained quiet, pasting a look of slight confusion on my face.

"Uuuummmmm, what?" I said after a moment. "Any one care to explain?"

"Alice can see the future. Most of the time, she has absolutely no problem." Renesmee answered. "The only exception we've ever run into are the wolves. It's a bit disconcerting. I'm wondering what about the pack could be blocking them."

"Not the wolves." Alice chimed in, a crease forming on her brow. "That's what worries me. It isn't the same blurred, headache inspiring block. It's just black. Like they don't exist. It's strange. I don't really under-" I turned toward Alice as she froze mid sentence. I carefully slipped into her mind, catching a glimpse of green hills and the Volturi I had heard so much of and then it was gone. The rest of the group had frozen as well, very unsettled. I shivered slightly, so that is what my Nico was up against. It was worse than I had thought before. I felt the fear in Alice's mind and understood that he had been hiding that from me all along, to keep me happy and safe.

"I need to go. Jasper? Are you going to come with me?" Alice's golden eyes turned to the blonde man as she ran a hand through her spikey, dark hair. "I'll be at home in a couple hours if you need me." The pair exited without another word.

Carlisle nodded and rested his chin in his hand, leaning slightly forward in his seat. He looked deep in thought and remained unnaturally still. It was. . .different and somewhat unsettling. Esme looked down at her husband and rested a comforting hand on his shoulder and seemed to be murmuring softly and rapidly to him. I wasn't really sure, all I could see was her lips scarcely moving or so it seemed. Renesmee settled back on the couch beside me and Jacob leaned over the back of it, draping his arms around her. Their surprising body heat drifted to me, making my poorly supressed shiver seem far too unnecessary and even more noticeable. Still, no one said a word. It was far too silent. It pressed in around us, bringing with it worry and discomfort. Despite the innocent intentions of Edward requesting the block, I had the distinct feeling that something was about to go horribly wrong. I couldn't shake the feeling that I should say something. Even a small something that might implicate me for hiding something. I leaned forward and ran a hand through my hair.

"I have a feeling this is worse than I've been made to realize. I can assure you, Bella and Edward will be fine. They are out on their own free will and will remain that way. Please don't ask me how I know and please don't make me say more." I sighed, almost regretting saying anything at all immediately. A soon as I had spoken the phrase 'I can assure you' four pairs of penetrating eyes were glued on me. Maybe we Irish really did need to think before we act. Going straight off instinct and emotion always seemed to end us in situations like this. Suddenly, it seemed to get a whole lot colder as the four stared me down. I wrapped Nico's jacket more closely around me and looked abashedly to each of the creatures around me. "Um, did it just get colder in here?"

Faster than I could even blink Carlisle was on his feet, and gripping Esme's hand. Esme was staring at me, completely wide eyed in shock. Renesmee was also on her feet, putting her hand on Jacob's shoulder, who was crouched down defensively-half snarling- and seeming to quiver all over. Bella's daughter seemed to share Esme's shocked expression, just as both seemed to be restraining their husbands in some way or another. Greatful that I was on the side of the couch closest to the door, I hopped over the back of the couch and slipped quickly out the door. This time I would not ignore my instinct, which was to take my leave from the room full of world's deadliest hunters and quickly. It wasn't long before I found myself hopelessly lost in the forest on the Quileute Reservation. I cursed under my breath. At least the rain was cleared and the sky seemed to brighten. The sun peeked out from behind the thick cloud cover, a rare moment I was sure. I continued on, in what I hoped was the right direction. The sun stayed out, thankfully, and began to warm me up from the numb cold I had been feeling.

Something in the distance caught my eye. It was a clearing, and something in the center seemed to be glinting in the sun. I thought that it was, perhaps, a large rock. If that were the case I would have a place to sit, warm myself, and think. I headed for the clearing rather slower than I had anticipated, like something was holding me back. It felt kind of like walking through several feet of snow. Never the less, I shrugged off my warning sense and continued on. I reached the last row of trees before the clearing and what I had thought was a rock began to take on a different shape. The shape of a man. His skin glittered like the many faceted appearance of a cut diamond. He was beautiful and pale with long dark hair. I drew closer and he began to move toward me. I couldn't help but think to myself, Mm. That is definately not a rock. But he is gorgeous. At the same time it was like little alarm bells and red flags were going off and waving in the back of my mind. Something wasn't quite right. I noticed, once we were less than ten feet apart that his eyes glinted and almost black, bloody red. Right then I was fully aware that this was really not right. I was standing ten feet from a man with red eyes and diamond skin. Can anyone say 'hello stupid, where have you been'? I slipped into his mind as I had Alice's. This time my only thought was, Oh shit. I was on the lunch menu. I had no way to defend myself. I knew exactly what he could and would do. The best that I could pull out of my bag of aces was a duce. I could make a little rock twitch with my mind. I couldn't actually move anything big enough to help me, unless a flying spoon would kill him or a stick. A really little one.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer, three feet from me now. I had no choice but to move when he pulled. His hand was ice cold and his grip was far too strong. If he had gripped my wrist any tighter, the bones would have shattered. I tried to keep my pulse down and my breathing even, but nothing would respond. He grinned, pinning me against his chest. Wrapping one arm around my waist, he let go of my arm and pulled my head back, exposing my throat. White hot, almost paralyzing pain, seared through me. I screamed.
