CHAPTER 4: Nothing

EDWARD POV:

I ran for hours straight. Tree by tree by tree I passed. I began to notice a definite change in the climate and the surrounding landscape. As the snow got thicker I winded around mountains and through deep cavernous spaces dug out by glaciers thousands of years ago.

A sent hit my nose that I recognized in a 'heart beat', Vampires.

I rounded the clearing to see a large white home which was practically invisible against the snow. If humans were ever to pass by they would defiantly not even recognize the structures existence.

My speed slowed as I approached in caution slightly wary of the first reaction Rosalie would give me. After all, the last time we had seen each other she looked like she would like nothing more than to rip my head off of my body, and burn me.

As my footsteps were heard Tanya emerged from the home. Her waist long strawberry blonde hair was in loose curls as she waved me closer.

"Edward!" she exclaimed, "What a pleasure it is to have you here!"

I tried to block her thoughts from my mind, after all my 'heart' was tied to Bella forever.

"Tanya." I greeted her respectfully by embracing her lightly and briefly. "I assume you know why I am here." I questioned.

"Well obviously it wasn't for me!" she joked. "Yes, Rosalie is here, but I am not sure what she will do when she finds you have come for her, if that is your intention."

"I know not of my own intentions" I assured her.

"Your funeral" she replied.

Tanya led me into her home which I had not seen in at least a century. When her mother was alive it was very colorful, with earthy browns and leafy greens, yellows and oranges. Now it was many deep blues, mixed with a faded gray. The furniture was boxy and did not look very comfortable to sit in, and as I walked through towards the spiraling stair case I heard Rosalie from upstairs. Her fingers were tapping impatiently on what I thought was an oak table. I flinched; hopefully she would not bring it down with her and through it at my head, poor Emmett.

"Rosalie, sister, may I speak with you?" I questioned.

Tanya's thoughts protruded my mind, "Edward, Edward, Edward… if only, if only. I wonder what Rosalie will do? Obviously she has no intention of returning. I wonder if she will join our coven now. After all, why would she want to be with Emmett she obviously detests him, I doubt she could ever endure being around him regardless if her brothers, sisters, and 'parents' are there."

I hoped Tanya was wrong; Emmett would not likely survive this much longer.

Soon enough Rose streamed down the spiral staircase in the center of the grand room and hissed towards me.

"What do you want?" She thought. "You even smell like him." She spoke with resentment.

"Rose, we miss you." I said calmly, I thought it would be best to keep it simple at first.

"I miss you too… I just can't be around him. I can't I WON'T."

The pain that seared through her mind was similar to that of Emmett's however, slightly distorted. "He doesn't understand what I NEED. He doesn't love me enough. I can't and I won't live with someone like that."

"Rose, he needs you, we need you. Emmett would do anything for you. Without you he is nothing, right now he is nothing. You can't deny you NEED him too. Rose come home. "

"No" she whispered blankly. "I want a baby; I need a baby, if he won't have one with me I'll find someone who will."

"Rose, he wants to have children with you, it's just not the right time."

"IT'S NEVER THE RIGHT TIME WITH HIM. So, I'm not with him."

"Rosalie, you cannot help but envy my daughter. I know you were born to be a mother, but this excessive amount of envy is dangerous. Come home and wait. It will be time eventually for you to have your own child."

"No" She whispered "Now."

Jasper POV:

The emotions that were pulsing through our home were astonishing me. Every direction I turned there was a new emotion. Emmett always caused me to sink into a wasteland of despair and I had no knowledge of being free of it until I stumbled out of his presence. Bella had become a nervous wreck since Edward had left almost 48 hours ago. Carlisle was frustrated with not being able to decipher the purpose of our strange visitation. Alice and Esme were concerned for our brothers and sisters, and obviously for our niece. As for myself I was most concerned about the visitors. With my extensive battle knowledge the behavior of the two lone vampires was very curious.

I emerged from the seclusion of Bella and Edwards's cottage and slowly sauntered towards the main house. I found the need to be distant from my family in times of great emotional upheaval. So many differentiations in emotion were almost sickening.

I passed into the edge of the clearing surrounding our glass plated home. We had lived here for nearly four years, which is much longer than we had in any other of our homes. And, yet again, Forks was ground zero.

I could smell the stench of werewolves tracing from the East where the tracks of the unknown vampires began. I did not recognize them either which was even more disappointing.

As I crossed the threshold of my hearing capabilities I could tell Jacob had returned to our home, hopefully with results.

I entered the familiar family room to witness Jacob playing dolls with Renesmee. Bella was sitting at the piano memorizing the keys in an effort to improve her piano skills. Carlisle and Esme were sitting on the couch watching a documentary on habitats of vampire bats in the Amazon rain-forest. Alice had emerged from the kitchen with two plates of home cooked Chinese food for Jacob and Renesmee.

"Oh no Alice, I don't know about eating this…" Jacob stated. "I don't care if you saw it off a cooking channel, this could be bad on even a dog's stomach."

"Come on Jacob, don't be a sissy, I bet you Renesmee will eat it." she scooped a bit the foreign food from the dish and offered it to Nessie. "Here you go Nessie, give it a try!" she encouraged.

Nessie accepted the food into her mouth and began chewing with an excited look dwindling on her face. After she swallowed a large smile erupted across her face.

"HA, Jay I did it! You're a sissy!" she giggled and clapped.

"Fine, give it here." He motioned towards the plates in Alice's hands. He held one above his mouth and practically inhaled all of the contents. He similarly gobbled up the second in no time. "HA HA, Who's laughing now Nessie?!" seconds later an enormous burp passed his lips and all of us ran for cover. Having to smell human food being cooked was one thing, but just another when you had to smell a burp coming from a werewolf who had just swallowed two plates of greasy Chinese food.

"Disgusting!" Alice commented.

"That was defiantly raunchy…" I confessed to Jacob after I rose from behind the couch which I used as protection from the wind escaping his mouth.

"I know you enjoyed it, don't even try to convince me otherwise." Jacob assured himself.

"Come on Alice," I tugged for my partner. "Let's leave before we 'suffocate'."

I embraced her had in mine as I led her up towards our bedroom. We entered the familiar quarters and I sat down on our bed. We never slept but Vampires still enjoyed cuddling. I snickered at my thought and lay down next to Alice whom had immediately joined me. I scooped my arm underneath her neck as I positioned myself beside her. We laid there for a few moments until we heard the familiar patter of Edward running, after all he was the fastest vampire we knew. We flew out of bed to peak out onto the porch where Edward and Bella were embraced, but where was Rose?

BELLA POV:

As soon as I heard Edwards feet hitting the ground I was outside. I practically flew into his outstretched arms. He held me for over a minute without a word. Nothing mattered more to me than the fact that he was back.

"She didn't come back?" I questioned almost silently out of fear for Emmett hearing.

"No. There is no way to convince her, she's just as stubborn as ever." Edward answered.

"Did you get any answers as to why?"

"She envy's Renesmee. She wants a child of her own and if Emmett will not have one with her she will not be with him."

After the reuniting with our family I went to go find my big brother Emmett. I floated up the stairs towards his room where you could usually find him.

"Emmett?" I called into his room when I did not see him at first.

I gazed about the room until I noticed a pale figure tucked inside Rosalie's deep closet.

"Emmett? What are you doing?"

He was motionless underneath the racks of wardrobe.

"Edward, Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme!" I bellowed.

Within seconds all my family was in the closet peering down at Emmett. He remained where he was and did not move, not even look towards us. He stared blankly in front of him as if he was dead.

"He's emotionless." Jasper added. "I have never encountered anyone at anytime who didn't have an emotion. He is like a blank canvas."

Esme knelt down beside him and took his jaw in her hands forcing him to look at her. "Son, talk to me."

He did not change.

In an attempt to rouse any life from him I challenged, "Ha, bet I could beat you in a match now!"

Still nothing.

We all stood there until seconds turned to minutes, until minutes turned to an hour, nothing.

"What's wrong with him Carlisle?!" Alice pleaded

Carlisle replied bluntly, "The light's on but no one is home."

IF you want to find out what happens I need to see some reviews. I am running on empty when it comes to what you all think about the story so far. Please let me know so I can modify the plot according to what you all think! Thanks so much for your input!
