Renesmee jolted back, "What?!" She cried, "Cullen? But...but how? I never knew of you until today!" Lily looked a little sad, she slumped into the couch and twiddled with her fingers, "I didn't think you would..." She mumbled, it seemed the ball of energy which possessed her had somehow flown away from her body, and it left the shell of a hurting little girl. "I'm sorry," Renesmee replied, "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, its just here, in this home, we know a lot of people. Things went down, so we found who we could."
Lily looked up, "But you never found me huh?" She sighed. Renesmee stuttered for a while, she didn't know what to say, after a few minutes awkward silence, she finally blurted out: "Anyways...what brings you here? Must be something important if you came to find us huh?"
Lily's smile slowly returned to her, "I've heard a lot about you Renesmee, the half human/half vampire hybrid. You caused quite a stir when you were younger huh?" Lily joked, Renesmee smiled at the ground, "You could say that. But you're here now, would you like a drink? Tea? Coffee perhaps?" Renesmee asked, starting to manoeuvre in the direction of the kitchen.
Lily nodded happily, and followed her.

Edward was still leaning over the sink when the girls walked in, he turned round abruptly, his eyes meeting Lily's immediately. He could feel himself falling to the floor, but used his strength to hold himself up, just. Renesmee and Lily rushed over, but Edward freaked out, flinging Lily's hand off of him. "Oh...I'm sorry..." She apologised, Renesmee scowled at her Dad, she showed him an offensive image and he returned the scowl. "Look, if this is a bad time Edward, I can come back if you like?" Lily asked, it seemed as if she was pleading to come back later. Edward switched his scowl to Lily, "Yes, you can leave right now!" He shouted, flinging his arm towards her. Lily dodged it, with a few millimetres to spare.
"Dad!" Renesmee exclaimed, "What is wrong with you?!" Edward turned back to her, slamming his hand on the counter. The burns weeped open and liquids escaped his dying skin and leaked onto the counter top. Renesmee screamed and lunged backwards, Lily caught her and grabbed a tea-towel, "Here, you need to put pressure on it," She soothed, pressing the towel onto Edward's hand. "Dad? What's going on?" Renesmee asked, "And where's Mum? Did-did she do this to you?"
Edward sighed, "No darling, it's not like that. You need to take Lily away from here please," He ordered, Renesmee pushed on his hand and Edward winced slightly, Renesmee was holding in tears. "How...how do you know Lily's name?" She questioned, Edward stuttered, but could for the life of him think of an explanation as to why he knew it, "Well you see-" Lily began, but a quick glance from Edward soon put a stop to her sentence. "Well what Lily?!" Renesmee ushered, "Something else you want to tell me?!"
Lily sighed, Edward's strong glances were enough to silence her, "Oh, no. I just thought I recognised him that's all. Guess not!" She laughed, trying to shrug it off. Renesmee wasn't in the slightest convinced, but more pressing matters, like her Father's hand, were present. "You keep your trap shut..." Edward mouthed at Lily, and she frowned. Renesmee, who was paying attention to her Father's hand, didn't notice the dig he threw at Lily. "Look, Renesmee please. Just go away and take this girl with you!" Edward screamed, Lily tried to persuade Renesmee to leave the room with her, "Come on Renesmee, we should...leave him..." She stuttered, Renesmee refused, but another shouting from her Dad sent her away. Renesmee collapsed onto the sofa with tears.
"Hey, come on Nessie!" Soothed Lily, she felt a little weird calling her 'Nessie', as Lily felt that she didn't know her as well. "Your Dad's just in shock, that's all!" Renesmee looked up, wiping her eyes, "But it's not just that...I haven't heard from my Mum in days! And no one wants to check on her! What am I going to do?!" She wailed. Lily jumped back, "Re-Renesmee...your cheek, it's...burnt!"

Carlisle was in his study again, since Edward barged in with his injury, Carlisle had been researching like mad. The past few days he had spent reading up on what was happening, but truth be told, he didn't know what was happening, all he knew was that he had to get to Bella. And fast.
Alice has knocked on the door gently, "Carlisle...?" She whispered, "Can I come in?" She asked, Carlisle opened to door and ushered her in, "What's going on with Bella Dad?" Carlisle leant against the wall with his head in his hands. "I don't know!" He wailed, "I have looked everywhere for answers Alice! Everywhere! But you and I both know Bella's different, she was different in human form too! If we don't stop her, then we are all going to die! We're dust Alice! Gone!" He confessed, sinking to the floor. Alice crouched down, placing her hand on Carlisle's shoulder in comfort, "Have you checked on her lately?" She asked, rising up. Carlisle's head shot up, as did his body. He ran out of the door, shouting "No! But I need to! And now!"
Alice raced after him, and there Bella was, silent like an ornament, her body was transparent, her ice cold veins bulging out through her decaying skin. "Oh my God...Bella!" Cried out Alice, racing to her side, Carlisle stood sill for a moment. "Alice..." Whispered Carlisle, "Get everyone out of here. Now!" He ordered.

Bella was helping Edward clean up after breakfast while Renesmee played outside. "Thank you honey," Smiled Edward, elongating his arm around Bella as she snuggled into his broad chest. "This is perfect..." Bella smiled, "Me, you and Renesmee. Living a happy life, breathing and laughing all together as one. I love this so much..." Edward moved his arm back round, "What? 'Living a happy life, breathing'? Why would you say that? OF course we're breathing!" Edward exclaimed, Bella looked down, shrugging a little. "Oh...I was just trying to be poetic...that's all..." She said, trying to convince Edward to the best of her ability.
"Oh..." Mumbled Edward in guilt, "I...I didn't mean to say it like that. It was just weird to me...that's all..." He stuttered, drying the last of the plates. Bella chuckled, putting her cup down, "So now you're saying my attempt at poetry is 'weird' now are you?" She joked, nudging Edward playfully. He laughed and kissed her forehead back and sighed, "Oh my God Bella..." He sighed, "You are just impossible sometimes...but that's why I love you," He schmoozed. Bella quivered slightly, but it wasn't in lust. "Bella?" Asked Edward, "Are you ok?!" He panicked, Bella flopped to the ground, crying in pain.
"No.." She whimpered. It traced round her arm like a laser, horrific to the eye. A patch of her skin was slowly being cut away...
