I'm Still Standing
Summary: Bella is broken after finding that all Edward wanted from her was a child. As a newborn vampire she had no one to turn to except the Volturi. There she accepts a position with them. What will happen to her now?
Chapter 6
We arrived in an airport; I didn't take much notice of which one. I was excited, heck Emmett virtually had to hold me down, that's how excited I was. I was on the same continent as my child. I could almost feel her. I followed the 2 brothers, taking my place beside them, the guards surrounding us as we headed in the direction of Forks. Running felt good, I hadn't had the chance to run so freely since I accepted the Volturi's position. I smiled, looking beside me I saw Emmett, his face matched my enthusiasm. The weather changed quickly, going from sunshine to cloudy then to heavy rain, an indication we were near Forks. I told the Volturi I wanted to see Charlie before we left; even it was for only five minutes.
My feet stopped as we got to the Cullen's driveway. I looked up at the house gulped before continuing at a walking pace. Aro and Marcus were a few steps ahead of me. Emmett stayed by my side, reaching for my hand he gave it a reassuring squeeze before letting it go again. I quickened my pace, not bothering to knock on the door, I barged in.
I saw Edward sitting with Rosalie in his arms, Renesmee in the blonde's arms. They looked up as I walked to the lounge room door. The look in Edward's eyes nearly made me crumble then and there, like he was expecting me to forgive him. I opened my mouth and hesitated, afraid of what would come out. His butterscotch eyes connected with my red ones, his sharp intake of air told me he hadn't expected to find my eyes any different.
"Mommy," Renesmee whispered. That one word allowed me to break my connection with Edward and I looked at my daughter, her beautiful face almost had me in tears. I had been a while since I saw her and yet she was more beautiful then the last time I did. I felt Emmett come up beside me; Rosalie noticed and looked away, like she was ashamed of what she had done.
"I thought you would have let the wolves kill you," Edward said, smirking. Not even a hello or how you going came from his mouth. The tears of joy that I was ready to cry disappeared, replaced by anger at his comment.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you Edward. But I'm not the weak girl you thought I was," I replied, balling my hands into fists. I felt Emmett's hand on my shoulder. I looked at him and gave him a faint smile, at least I had him to count on.
"I surprised you got Renesmee away form Jacob," I said. Rosalie hissed at the mention of my best friend, it seemed like it was not easy task to separate the too. I heard the Volturi behind me.
"I have a new family Edward, I want you to meet my brothers," I said, almost in a sadistic tone. I stepped inside the lounge room, allowing them to see Aro and Caius, "That's right Edward, I'm no longer Isabella Swan, but Isabella Volturi." Edward's eyes widened. Obviously he hadn't expected me to go to the Volturi
"Where's Marcus?" he asked, letting his arms drop from Rosalie while looking at Caius and Aro.
"Marcus is… no longer with us in this world. Our dear Bella has been a wonderful replacement," Aro said in his calm voice. The look on both Edward and Rosalie's face was priceless, the mix of fear and something else I couldn't pick was flooding through their eyes as they realized what they had just said, that I was apart of the vampire royalty as they liked to call it.
"I'm here for Renesmee," I said before turning my attention to my daughter, "Sweetheart, would you like to come home with me?" She looked up at Rosalie, wriggling out of her arms and ran up to me, a smile on her face.
"Mommy," she chirped as I picked her up, hugging her tightly as if she were to disappear if I let her go again. I felt her nod, answering my question.
"Aunt Rosie is mean," she said in her child like voice. I laughed.
"I know sweetie, I know," I replied as I looked at Rosalie and Edward. Rosalie hissed, hearing Renesmee's comment. An idea came into my mind, and though I knew it wouldn't physically hurt them, at least it would be the beginning of making Edward suffer in pain. I looked directly at him, a evil sadistic smile on my face.
"Jane, can you do me a favor," I asked as I back out of the room, the others still standing guard at the door. Jane matched my evil smile, knowing exactly what I wanted doing and unleashed her powers on Rosalie and Edward. I heard the grunts and hisses as the 2 tried not to scream and yet Rosalie gave in, letting a small scream out. I walked out of the house, Emmett beside me, like a good bodyguard. I could feel some of the guards and Aro and Caius walk out with me, the rest stayed to inflict pain on the 2 that had stolen my daughter.
Emmett came to see Charlie with me and although Charlie wanted to kill Edward, or severely hurt him, he was happy and grateful that the Volturi took me in and helped me through the hard times. He made Emmett promise that no one like Edward would harm me, and without hesitation Emmett agreed. I smiled; it seemed like old times, almost. I looked at the clock. We had stayed long enough and I was sure the wives who had stayed at the airport were eager to meet Renesmee. After saying our quick goodbyes, we picked up the rest of the guards left at the Cullen's house and headed back to the airport, , hoping that we didn't run into Edward or Rosalie, though with the amount of pain Jane seemed to have inflicted on them, they would been recovering from it for a while. Boarding the jet, I took my seat next to Emmett again; Renesmee was sitting in between Sulpicia and Athnodora.
"Thank you for your support," I said as I leaned against Emmett. He looked down at me.
"Anytime," was his reply as he occupied himself in the Nintendo DS he had brought with him. A giggle interrupted the peacefulness of the flight. I looked across to find Renesmee had gotten up from her seat. Sitting up, I scanned the plane, finding she was playing with Jane. I sunk back down, smiling at the scene. Even though Jane was a bitch at times, she had a way with children. I sighed before getting up and heading to my 'brothers'.
"Can I ask something?" I asked, unsure it they wanted to be disturbed. Aro turned and looked up at me.
"Anything sister, you don't have to ask to speak now," his calm voice floated through my ears.
"I was wondering, if its ok with Jane, I'd like her to be Renesmee's bodyguard. Renesmee seems to like Jane," I smiled as I watched Renesmee giggle and clap as Jane played with her.
"That would be fine," I heard Caius reply, which surprised me a little, it was normally Aro that answered. I smiled and nodded. Standing back up I turned.
"oh and thanks for helping me get her back, I really appreciate it," I said before heading towards the back of the plane.
Kneeling down next to Renesmee I smiled at her, her eyes filled with joy and laughter, something my eyes lacked.
"Uh Jane, if it's alright with you, I'd like to appoint you as Renesmee's bodyguard. I think you'd be best for her, just uh well try not to be a bitch around her too much," I said, looking at the short woman in front of me. Jane seemed to be a little surprised that I had asked her.
"Of course my Lady," she replied, a small chuckle coming from her mouth at my comment. We smiled at each other; it seemed we finally were going to get along.
"Thank you," I said quickly before going back to my seat and to my Emmett pillow, content that I now have Renesmee back, safe with me.
AN: well Bella now has Renesmee back yay. R&R. I could end the story there, a nice happy ending. Let me know if you want me to continue it or not (yes i do have another chpt already written but dont let that influence your decision). also do you want me to write a supernatural story centered on Rose?
I dont know if its my email or if its fanfic but i've not been receiving the reviews or any story updates. i've had to check via the story, but thanks for reviewing.
