I looked around the town house we would be staying in; of course it was a stereo vampire theme. Red and black checkered floors, red walls with old paintings, and heavy drapes that covered the sunlight that dared to shine through the windows.
Kaure was helping Renesmee pick out her room. Demetri looked around the living room, "We haven't been here since the nineties."
I noted the dust and spider webs, "Yeah we might need to get a cleaning crew."
Just then Renesmee came running down the stairs, her black Volturi cape flew behind her. She made a beeline around me and the luggage and headed for the door.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" I asked.
Renesmee turned to me slowly and smiled, "I have practice today."
"Renesmee Carlie Cullen, I saw your schedule you do not have practice today." I crossed my arms over my chest and raised my eyebrow.
Renesmee smiled guilty again, "I want go to town there's going to be a sale."
"No there are vampires coming and I do not want them to see you." Renesmee gave me an odd look but did not question me.
"Please, please, please, please, please! I want to go! I'll be careful!"
"Mistress Isabella, I could take her. She will be safe with me." Demetri offered.
Renesmee's eyes widened a fraction of an inch, and shot me a look that said 'Do not do this to me'.
I sighed, "No Demetri, I'll take her."
Renesmee
As I walked with my mother I looked around the town: nope, no sign of Alec.
Secretly we have been dating for the past three months, but I knew that neither Aro nor my mom would approve.
Suddenly my mom stopped and put her hand on my shoulder. "Renesmee aren't those flowers beautiful? I'm sure they would brighten the town house a bit."
I nodded, "Hey mom why don't you look at the flowers...while I...go look at the shoes...over THERE!" I yanked myself from her grasp and darted through the crowd.
"Renesmee get back here right now!" she shouted, she sounded scared.
I turned my head to look back at her, but then I bumped into someone.
No something. Hard as granite, but cold as ice. I fell back onto the streets of Volterra, and whimpered in pain.
I heard a worried female voice, "Are you all right?" I looked up to see a caramel hair women with a heart shaped face, and gold eyes.
I looked up to the wall that I ran into but, it turns out it was a guy; a very tall one, with dark curly hair, and dimples. I felt two hands under my armpits and I was standing again. I looked behind me to see, another guy with honey blond hair. "You had quite a fall." he said.
Another guy with light blonde hair stepped forward, "Let me see your hand." I glanced down at my palm to see that it was bleeding.
The woman with the caramel hair handed me, a tissue. I fisted it.
"RENESMEE!" I heard my mother scream again.
Bella
All I saw was Renesmee falling, she ran into someone.
With my inhuman speed I was by her side in a second. I pushed past the person standing behind her, not caring to see what his face looked like. My hands cupped Renesmee's face and our eyes met. "Oh my goodness, baby, are you okay?"
Renesmee nodded, "I'm fine mom, and these people helped me."
I sighed in relief and then looked at the people surrounding us. "Thank y-"
Now I noticed these people looked familiar: Esme, Emmett, Carlisle, and Jasper.
This was not good.
"B-Bella?" Emmett asked.
I half smiled, "Hey Em." Without warning Esme threw her arms around my neck.
"My daughter!" she cried. I hugged her back. Renesmee continued to stare at us oddly.
"Mommy who's this?"she asked.
"Renesmee meet your grandparents Carlisle and Esme, and your Uncles Emmett and Jasper on your daddy's side."
"You gave birth to the child? And you LIVED?" Carlisle asked.
I nodded, "Well I'm here aren't I?"
Esme pulled me to the side, "And you're a vampire now?"
I raised my right hand, "Guilty."
"Edward's going to be so happy!" Emmett said.
"No! Don't tell Edward." I said.
"He has been worried sick without you, Bella; you have no idea what this has done to him." Jasper said. I fixed my best glare at Jasper.
"NO!" I repeated again, deadly.
"Wait a minute, Bella, what are you doing in Italy? The Volturi are here." Esme said.
Before I could answer, I heard someone distantly shout, "Nezz!"
I turned to see Alec, one of the Deadly Twins, heading towards us. Renesmee smiled at him and rushed to his side, or tried to before Emmett pulled her behind him. Jasper snarled inhumanly, not caring that humans were roaming around. Before Alec could do the same I threw myself in between them.
"That's another thing; we live with the Volturi now." I said. I turned to Renesmee, "Renesmee why don't you go with Alec since we have no reason to hide anymore." Then I turned to Alec, "Protect her."
Alec laid his arms on his chest, "With my life, Mistress Isabella." Renesmee laughed and pulled him out of his bow.
"Come on Alec, let's go shopping!" She looped arms with him and put her head on his shoulder.
As soon as they were out of ear shot, I turned to the Cullen's. "Where's Edward?" I asked curiously.
"At the gate," Carlisle said, "He should be here any minute with Alice and Rosalie."
"Any minute? I have to go." I said. I started to walk away but Esme grabbed my arm. I turned to look at her, and she smiled at me.
"It's good to know your okay, Bella, will we see you again?"
"Most likely not, but don't tell Edward." I looked at Emmett, "Don't even think it."
"Oh man! Bella you always ruin my fun!" Emmett whined.
I gave Esme one last hug, before I ran home.
