Chapter 4: My testing and their Verdict

"Now, if you could please answer these questions?," Marcus said. "How old are you?" "I am 12 years old, human years. I look like I am 17," I answered. "How long have you lived in this house?" "My whole life, from when I was two weeks old, to now," I replied. "Do you have venom?" "No, I do not, but I can hunt and kill animals." The questions went in this manner, each of which took about 2/10 of a second to complete. After questions, came tests of strength and speed. I lifted up more than half of the house, when I only had to lift up the corner 2 inches. As for speed, I ran over 20 miles and back again, through a forest and around a lake, 10 times. I completed it in 3 seconds. My test was a complete 100% pass. Finally, Aro told me to come directly in front of him. He grasped my hand, reading my thoughts with his gift. He stood in front of me, smiling. He was seeing every single moment of my life. Every laugh with Jacob, every game with my family he saw. It was getting really annoying. Finally he released my hand. "Renesmee, you possess a marvelous gift. Of course, I already witnessed your gift when you were small, but it has grown in to somthing amazing and beautiful. I would love to have a gift like yours on my arm. Would you like to join my coven?," he asked me, watching my eyes. I looked back at my family and Jacob. I would never leave them. "I'm sorry, Aro, but I cannot join your coven," I said, almost defiantly. Aro just kept on smiling. What is wrong with him? I wondered. All of a sudden, my mom yelled "Renesmee, look out!" I turned and saw what she was talking about. Hundreds of people were coming. All headed towards me. All looking directly at me. All having no happiness in their eyes. "Nessie, run!," Jacob yelled. I looked at him. He was backing up against the side of the house, while Bella and Edward were getting surrounded by half of the Violturi. "Crap," I whispered. I started to backup slowly, trying to sink into the shadows. I was almost at the bottom of the driveway. A few more steps and I would start to run. 3, 2, 1. Snap! Lucky me, I stepped on a twig. I looked up. Everybody had turned and they were all looking at me. Oh great.

I turned and just about to run but I heard leaves rustling in the bushes. I looked in. Then everything went black. "You didn't think we'd let you have all the fun Nessie," Uncle Emmett said. He kissed me on the cheek. "Why are you running?," Uncle Jasper asked me. "Yeah really," Aunt Alice added. "You honestly have to be stupid to miss a fight like this." Emmett laughed. "Let's go!" Rosalie yelled impatiently, "I want to kick some Volturi butt." "And you're coming," Esme added. I loved my grandmother. "Ok, lets go," I said. We were back in the middle of the fight in less than one tenth of a second. "Nessie, what the hell are you doing back here?" Jacob yelled at me. I went over to him, standing in between him and three vampires. "Ah, its Renesmee," one of the vampires crooned. "So lovely to see you," said another. The last one did not look happy. "Stand aside," he told me. I just hissed at them, daring them to come closer. "We do not wish to harm you, Renesmee," the mean one said. I spat at him, and stepped further back into Jacob, shielding him more. "Nessie, I don't want to alarm you, but did you know that vampire venom is like poison to me?," Jacob whispered in my ear. "What?!", I yelled. "Yeah, sorry honey, but if these people bite me, I'm dead within 2 seconds," Jacob said. All the more reason for me to protect him, I thought. Hissing at them, I sprung. I landed hard, knocking one of them to the ground. The other two vampires sprung at Jacob. He yelled as they knocked him to the ground. Getting up, I ran at the other two slamming into them and meeting their bites with bites of my own. One of them kept on trying to knock me off, but it was hard. My training with my family had made me as strong as a normal vampire. Growling, I threw one of the vampires into another one. They both smashed into the wall and stayed there. Dead. "YES!," I yelled. Jacob came up and grabbed me from behind. "Do you want me to phase?," he asked me. I shook my head. "It doesn't matter if you phase or not, you're still a werewolf, so you should stay out of this fight and go home." He laughed. "Anywhere you are is my home," he told me. I heard a scream. As I looked around, I saw that Bella got knocked to the ground and that Edward had sprung on the guy that had been the one that knocked her down. "Don't attack my wife!" he screamed. I ran over to help, while Jacob went to help my mom up. Edward was still on the ground, the other vampire now begging for his life. I pulled my dad away. "Stop fighting and then they'll stop," I whispered to him. He shrugged.

"Nessie you are my daughter, so I protect you with my life. Let me do my job." He ran over to Bella, making sure she was all right. Then, he pounced on someone about 10 feet away that had been trying to bite Aunt Alice. Alice, now free, jumped onto a tree branch, then two more and then fell onto the vampire that had been fighting Uncle Jasper, breaking his spine. "Miss me?," she asked him. "Of course," he boomed. And then they ran off to pounce on 2 other vampires, knocking one into a tree, the other into the ground. Emmett and Rosalie, meanwhile, were having fun fighting about 10 Volturi per person. Nobody would win a fight against Emmett. As Emmett killed another vampire, Rosalie got pinned down. She was having trouble getting the vampire off. Emmett turned around and kicked him off. The vampire flew about sixty feet and crashed into Aro, Marcus and Alec. iAfter yelling an exclamation of joy, Emmett pulled Rosalie off the ground, dusting her off as she rose. Aro, after standing up, walked slowly over to Emmett. "Do you really wish for this to happen?," he asked my uncle. "What are you talking about?" Emmett replied. "Other than the fact that we are gonna kick your sorry butt anyway, even if you want to fight us or not." Aro huffed at this. "So be it," he whispered.

"My dear ones," Aro boomed. "They have decided that they actually want a fight. Therefore, let's show them a real fight! Marcus, Alec, I want you at my sides. You will be fighting Edward and Bella Cullen. My wives, you will be going for the rest of the Cullens. I want about 10 of you going for the werewolf, wherever he is, and I shall battle Renemee." At this, I flinched. Aro was way too powerful for me. "Are you kidding me?!" I screamed at him. "I can't fight you, I can barely fight one of your stupid minions." He just chuckled. "Precisely why I chose you, my dear. Now I get to see what your strength is really like." "That is inhumane, Aro" my mother yelled. "She's just a little girl!" But Aro didn't care. "Either I fight Renesmee or Nessie as you call her, or I can just take her back to Volterra for tests. She'd come back in a month or so." Edward came to my side. "Sweetie, its up to you. Do you think you can take him or do you want to go back to Volterra?," he asked me. I thought about this. Leave my family for a month so that I could possibly become a slave to them, or should I stay here and fight? I actually did want to go to Italy, but not with them. "I will never go with you. Let's fight," I told him. All of a sudden, I felt hands around my waist. It was Jacob. "Nessie, are you kidding me? People have died at his hands, and you want to fight him?" I just nodded. "Nessie, you could die." I turned. "Jacob, I don't think he's going to kill me. Reason being is that I have a gift that he wants on his team. Even if he fought me, he still wouldn't kill me. He'd want me so that I could possibly join his team again, or at least come to Volterra with him. That's all. Right Aro?" Aro nodded. "Jacob, I love you, you know that I would never agree to anything if I knew it would seperate me from you," I told him. Jacob nodded. "Isn't that sweet," Aro said. "Please remove this werewolf from her." In less than a second, Jacob was being pulled away from me.

So was my family. Try as they might to get around them, against seven hundred vampires, they were no match. I could only watch in shock as my whole family got pushed up against the wall. Once the Volturi was sure that they were secured, they all walked back in line with Aro. They were in small groups, each facing a family member of mine that they were informed to fight against. Aro squared up to me, flexing every muscle in his body. "On my count, we will start to fight. One, two, three..." Aro said. The next thing I knew, my whole family was around me in a ring. All facing Aro. They wouldn't let Aro hurt me. Surrounded by a ring of protection, I felt safe. I looked around me. All the Volturi had formed a ring, a larger ring around all of us, blocking us in. All of a sudden, I felt really scared.

Nothing I have ever witnessed had been like this. Aro growled. "You will all die, you know," he told us. What do I do? I thought. Then, Edward stepped out of the ring of my family. All the Volturi members moved in closer. "Aro, we do not have to fight. Didn't she pass your test?" Aro nodded. "So why would you waste talent, strength and a gift such as that. Why would you waste your time killing gifts you have grown to love, like Alice's and 'Jasper's, Bella's and mine? Do you see what you are about to do?" Aro pondered this for a moment. "Fine then," Aro finally said. "I will spare you, but Renesmee has to still come to Volterra with me for at most a week."

I was shocked. "Why do I have to go?" I inquired. "You must come see what Volterra is like, my dear." he cooed. "I already know what its like," I told him. "What is it like then?" he asked me. I smiled. "It's a place thats ultra-sunny, we would sparkle like diamonds, its also a place where you feed off humans. I am a vegetarian so there would be nothing for me to eat. In other words, its a black hole." Aro chuckled. "Then you really must come see it," was all he said. Marcus turned to me. "I have arranged a flight for the four of us, Alec, myself, yourself and Aro back to Volterra. Your plane ticket will be on your dresser. Do not dissapoint us by not coming, or we will truly have a fight." I only nodded.

"You are free to return to your homes," Aro smiled to my family. As I started to walk away, my arm got grabbed and twisted behind my back. Fingers were stroking my temple. "I don't know if I would want to hurt you," Alec whispered in my ear. He kissed my neck. I struggled to get away from him, but Jacob was already helping. "What the hell?" he roared. "Don't ever do that to her again!" Alec just smiled. "See you on the plane, gorgeous!" he yelled at me as he was walking back to the Volturi. I was stunned.
