One Decision
Chapter 2
I woke up from my 4 hours asleep and to the day ahead. Its been 2 years sense that day but I remember it perfectly.
FlashBack:
My family and the wolves were all lined up on the north side of the baseball field with Jane, Aro, Marcus, Demitri, and Felix were on the south side.
Carlisle stepped two steps forward toward his old friend. "Aro why have you come? We have done no wrong!" he said starring Aro square in the eyes.
"Yes I know. We have not come to harm your family" he promised, "but we are here for an invitation."
This took some by surprise. "What kind of invitation and to who is going to receive the invitation?" asked Carlisle calmly and smoothly.
"For your dear little angel, Renesmee and her dear mother, Bella" he stated," and it's an invitation that you probably already know. It's for them to join the Volutri."
This did not take us by surprise. We all have known that the Volutri has always wanted the Cullen family to join them. Then my father and mother stepped forward. "No. Neither Bella or Renesmee will join you" stated my father.
After 5 minutes of them talking back and forth I stepped forward causing Jacob to growl. I looked at him to reassure him that I would be fine and to shut up. As I walked up next to my parents all attention was on me.
"Look it's the little gem herself. Hello Renesmee" he said in a soft voice that was totally and completely fake.
"Hello Aro. Why do you want me to join you? I am young and I may be no use to you" I stated making my soft chocolate brown eyes serious and deadly.
"Ahh but we think the complete opposite. You are a prize gem and barely any of you in the world, young Ness-"
"Renesmee" I said cutting him off.
"Yes, Renesmee, of course. You may be young now but think of what you could be when you grow up! You will be a prize possession to the Volutri. We would be honored for you to join us. As your mother to. She is also an immortal with a great power! And beautiful as well."
"Aro thank you for the offer. But we have to decline your… offer. We will be missed very much here." Said my mother like she has done this a million time. Which she probably has.
"If I would say yes will you leave the wolves and my family alone?" I said looking Aro. This has causes my family to gasp and Jacob to growl along with Embry, Quil, Seth, and Leah.
"Yes it would little Renesmee. We would not bother your family anymore" said Aro. I looked to the rest of the Volutri and they were smiling knowing I would some become one of them.
"Fine then. I will join you and your family, Aro" I said," but I warn you that I am a bit sassy if I don't get what I want." I said trying to hide my fear. Fear of leaving my family. Fear of leaving my friends. Fear of making the wrong choice.
Aro and the rest of the Volutri laughed. "That is okay young one. When with us you can have whatever you like. Now come, child. We must get back to Italy so you can meet your new family." Aro said smiling.
I walked slowly toward what would be my new family leaving my real family behind. I stopped and turned toward my family, making eye contact with each of them. Then I looked directly to my father and thought to him, tell everyone that I said bye and will always love you guys. He nodded slowly and mouthed, we love you too, to me.
I half-heartedly smiled to them and walk toward what would be the beginning of my new life.
-FlashBack end
Before I would think of the memory every time I wake up and it would bring tears to my eyes. But as I experienced the Volutri more and more the memory would slowly become less and less sad. On this day I honestly and truly DON'T regret that day that I joined the Volutri at all.
I now recognize myself as the person that I feared to become.
