Hello everyone! Okay so sorry for the long time it took to come out with this next chapter, it's just that it's been a hard chapter to write because there is so much that is to be explained.
I really want to thank Peacelovetwilight687 because they inspired a side of how the story line is going to end up. I put their idea and mine together in a way so that the story is great. At the end of the story I am going to explain what parts of this story they inspired, but I can't tell you yet of course because it would ruin the story.
Okay so here is the next chapter of "The Pull of a Stranger" I hope you enjoy and share what you think by reviewing.
Chapter 4RPOV
"Nessie how great it is to see you." Laurent said while walking over to me giving me a hug that I didn't return. I just stood awkwardly and frozen with arms at my side.
He pulled away and looked at me with sad eyes questioning my reaction. I glared into his eyes and he backed off. I crossed my arms over my chest.
"What are you doing here?" Laurent spoke sternly at me.
"That isn't much of your business anymore is it?" I spat.
"What the hell?" Emmett yelled and everyone turned to face him. "We don't know what you are, we don't know why you are here, Edward feels some freaky 'pull' toward you, and now you have a history with Irina's husband that used to be an enemy of ours would you please explain yourself here before my head explodes!" Emmett demanded.
I sighed and dropped my head a little in embarrassment. I stuck my hands in my back pockets and I looked at everyone.
"I know I have explaining to do, but when I do just know that it isn't going to be easy to understand and it might take a while and I promise to answer any of your questions and just stay calm." I said and I heard Laurent scoff in disbelief.
"Calm? How can you expect them to take your story calmly? Besides I shouldn't even let you do this. You need to go back home to you mom Renesmee and Jacob." Laurent said. He sounded like a dad, great. He looked at my ring on my right hand. I switched it to my left hand immediately.
With his gaze on my ring I could tell that he was questioning my relationship. "I couldn't go to high school being engaged sophomore year." Laurent's eyes widened and then he nodded.
"Hello the story?" Emmett said getting impatient. I looked back at him and smiled, mom told me he was just like a little kid and wasn't patient at all.
"Okay well how do I start this…." I mumbled to myself.
"How about I start?" Laurent suggested. No matter how much I wanted to punch him it was a good idea.
"Sure." I replied taking a seat on the couch. He took a seat next to me.
"Edward this has a lot to do with you so you might want to take a seat across from us." Edward looked confused, but he did as told seeming a bit more than curious about this. I sat extremely nerves and Laurent could tell. I was just scared that they wouldn't except me.
Laurent "You know that I know about you and Bella of course." Edward stiffened and nodded slowly. "Well I know a bit more than you think."
"What do you mean?" Edward asked sounding a bit creeped out by Laurent. I giggled a little and then Edward gave me a stern look and I stopped on instinct because he is- no don't think about it he doesn't know yet. I noticed Edward was watching me suspiciously, but then turned to Laurent telling him to continue.
"Well I saw you leaving Bella. I was coming back to tell you that Victoria was planning on coming back for Bella and I saw that you had left her. Of course I knew that all you said was a lie because I have seen and experienced a vampire mating. The only thing I was confused about was why you were leaving, but I will get back to that part later." Laurent relaxed more into his chair though Edward stayed tenser with the pain in his eyes as usual just maybe five times more since we were talking about m- Bella.
"So when you left Bella was awful. I have never seen a person so low. She tried to run to find you, but of course she can't catch up and she falls right on her knees in pain that was unbearable. She was nothing to what I saw when I saw you the last time. There was no life in her at all and so I went down to help her for if she stayed there too long she would have died." Edward dropped his head into his hands probably from see the images in Laurent's mind.
"I took her to her house and found her room and laid her in her bed. She was pretty out of it when I did that and didn't seem to care who was taking her somewhere all she kept saying was 'Edward come back please'. Anyway I am not going to go through the whole how she finally knew who I was and how she acted or acts while you are gone. Then I noticed that Bella was getting very sick that she looked like she wasn't eating anything at all, but I saw her eat all the time because I was looking out for her and making sure Victoria didn't get to her." Edward cringed and I could tell he was getting upset thinking of Bella getting pregnant with someone else.
"Soon we figured out that Bella was pregnant. Again I am not going to go extremely in depth with all the details. Of course this baby was not a normal human baby, but a vampire baby. So she was dying from this because her human body was too weak to handle a half vampire baby. " Everyone gasped and Edward stood up and got in Laurent's face.
"That. Isn't. Possible." Edward spat in Laurent's face.
"I'm afraid it is and oh let's see was vampires have had sex with a Bella Swan… hmmm… could it be an Edward Cullen?" Laurent replied sarcastically.
I hissed at Laurent for being so rude. I put my hand to his face and showed his that he just doesn't understand this and is just worried about Bella. Laurent's eyes saddened and I pulled my hand away and he looked to Edward and mumbled "Sorry."
"How did you do that?" Edward asked looking at me with admiration.
I did that crooked smile I inherited and replied "It's a gift." I said raising my hand and holding it out to his. He looked at it and raised an eyebrow.
I rolled my eyes and stood up and walked over to him "I can only do it while touching someone's face so far." I turned to everyone else in the room "I can project my thoughts into someone else's mind." Their confused looked at us turned to understanding and I giggled a bit, but then cleared my throat and raised my hand to his face to show him.
Edward bent down a bit to reach my hand and then suddenly I was thrown across the room. "What the hell?" I yelled standing up from the ground where I was thrown. I saw that there was a little blood on my leg. If I were full human I probably would have had a broken leg. "Shit!" I yelled looking at my knee.
Once I got up and could clearly see what was going on I saw Edward crouched in front of me and Rosalie in front of him looking a little scared.
"Edward, how can you know that she is not going to hurt you? Be reasonable!" Rosalie said. Edward hissed at her.
I stood up to defend myself and was right next to Edward and he pushed me a bit behind him to defend me. I still had a voice though. "I would never hurt him!" I said glaring at Rosalie.
"Oh yah? And how are we supposed to just believe that?" Rosalie said.
"Leave her alone." Edward said sternly at Rosalie.
"You can believe me because Isabella Marie Swan is my mother and Edward Anthony Mason Cullen is my father you twit face!" I yelled.
I saw Laurent raise an eyebrow at the term "twit face" I used, but she is my aunt I can't call her something worse. Then Alice was jumping up in down saying "I knew it! I knew it!" over and over and over.
I shrugged back noticing my shocking outburst. "Oh my gosh." Carlisle and Esme whispered while Emmett instead whispered something that I really shouldn't repeat and Rosalie just stood there with an horrified expression.
"I am so sorry." Rosalie said to me. I nodded and did my famous crooked smile and everyone gasped. I guess it really must have looked like dad's.
"That's why I have a pull to you?" Dad asked facing me again still looking tense from being in "attack mode".
"Sure is, hey family! And you guys don't even have to explain what your talents are or what you like to do or anything! I learned everything I need to know from mom." Wow this seemed so casual like I thought that there was going to be a bigger feeling than when I was accepted into their group the first day of school, but I guess really I felt like I was already part of their family than so nothing special now.
Esme came over to me in a flash and led me to the couch. "Do you need anything to eat? I have some food. We keep a little fresh food for looks, but now we have someone to eat it." She was smiling at me brightly, but seemed worried about me. When I first came in she really wanted to see if I wanted food or anything, but Alice was keeping her back.
I laughed and said "No thank you I am okay. I like the blood diet better than human food and I just hunted." She smiled back and nodded.
"I guess I am acting a bit silly aren't I?" She asked looking a bit embarrassed.
"No it's fine grandma I understand, you are just very caring." She seemed startled at the term "grandma" but it quickly changed to happiness.
Dad sat next to me on the couch and looked into my eyes with the most apologetic and pleading look I have ever seen. I almost gave him the biggest hug in the world.
"Renesmee I am so sorry that I left you and your mom I didn't mean to. I left because-" Dad started, but I quickly cut him off.
"Dad its fine, I know why you left and you don't have to explain, just tell me do you still love my mom?" I said.
"Of course I do more than life." Dad told me looking me in the eyes intensely. "But, how do you know?"
"Well it's because of one of my talents. I have two different things I can do, you know the first one, but I will explain that more later. Now back to the story and then to the reason I am here." We needed to finish what was important now before we get too carried away.
"Yes, I would like to know that also." Laurent gave me a stern look like how a father gave their child. I rolled my eyes. "You can explain the rest Renesmee since they know."
I settled into the couch so that I was facing the entire family so that they could hear this. "Anyways, okay so Laurent knew that my mom needed more help and couldn't let anyone see her in her state so he knew that mom knew the Quiliets and that mom knew one of them. So he got help from them because Jacob and my mom where good friends. Again we can't go into detail yet so this is just an overview." I needed to make sure that they knew there was much more to mine and mom's story.
"So after I was born and they found out I wasn't dangerous Laurent still had to make sure that mom wouldn't kill any humans and mom also didn't know everything about vampires so he helped raise me until I reached the age of seven and because I was growing at such a fast rate I looked seventeen and I will never grow older. After all that happened and Victoria was staying away all this time Laurent left to go back to Irina whom he had been communicating with by phone and came back for a week every year." I finished up the story that Laurent already knew.
"And that leaves us to some explaining Renesmee Carlie Cullen." Laurent looked at me again with that stern look.
"You aren't my dad I don't have to explain anything to you. I know why you left and I don't want to keep you from Irina, but you don't know what you left us with." I spat with complete disgust toward him.
"You owe some explaining to do to me though." I heard dad say beside me. Okay I did owe some explaining.
I looked at dad apologetically and started to explain. "Okay so after Laurent left and two years later Victoria tried to attack many times. After ten years of that when I was now nineteen Victoria came to us. She told mom that the Volturi were coming for her because they knew of her power and they wanted her for their own use. Luckily Victoria didn't know of my powers and didn't say anything about me because all she wanted was mom so be miserable, but not dead so being enslaved was what she went with."
"Wait Bella has a power?" Emmett asked. I turned to him to answer and then saw everyone else. I saw Alice right beside me, smile really big listening to me. How could I have not noticed her there before? Then Jasper was in the couch across from me along with Carlisle and Esme. Laurent, Emmett and Rosalie stood behind that couch. I now felt really weird because everyone was starting at me almost analyzing my words and actions. I felt a wave of calm wash over me and I looked to Jasper and smiled.
"Well mom's power is that she is a shield. She can protect anyone and herself from mental attacks as long as she can stretch her shield over them." I explained.
"Which would mean that Edward, Aro, Jane, and Alex can't use their powers against her?" Carlisle realized that before anyone else and everyone seemed to understand just how special this power is to the Volturi.
"Exactly, so Victoria left. She told mom because she wanted her to know that it was because of her that she was going to be locked up in Volterra. So mom left me with Jacob and went somewhere where they would get her, but not find me. Jacob and the Quilets wanted to go to Volterra and get mom, but they won't be able to defeat them with only a handful werewolves they would die! They are family to me and if they died I don't know what I would do. "Laurent seemed astonished that this had happened.
"I looked for Laurent, but he left us with no contact information and he wouldn't have anything about him in public records because he doesn't act human by going to school or any of that. So I found someone to track you guys down. I knew that dad still loved mom-again I will explain later- and so I found you. I wanted you to get to know me at school first and like me for whom I was and not just be like 'Well she is family we have to help her and Bella.', but I guess that didn't work out. You have sort of accepted me as a friend at school. Alice invited me shopping and stuff so I guess that you don't just like me like I am family. Anyway that is why I am here I need help and to get my mom out of Volterra." I finished. Wow that was a long explanation.
Dad stood up immediately. "We are in." He said simply and seriously. I could tell that he really couldn't wait to see my mom and it was torcher for him to know he was in Volterra. While we sat and I explained that story to all of them he seemed so pained really.
"It's a big decision and I don't want everyone to just jump into it." I said. They were willing to risk their lived just like that!
"Of course we are! Bella is my mate and you're my daughter and we are going to save her." Dad said firmly. I noticed everyone else had stood up also and had car keys in their hands ready to go. Alice though was jumping up and down excited to go and get her sister back.
This was the family I wanted to be a part of. One that is willing to do anything for their family. I just hope my mom will understand why they left.
