Chapter 6.
Volterra.
I stood in front of Aro and the rest of the Volturi, Alec was still beside me, but I felt totally intimidated. They were all wearing black, all standing deadly still in formation. Aro walked towards me, and held out his. I stared at it, feeling stupid. Was I supposed to shake his hand? My dad had always told me never to let Aro touch my hands. I remember that day when he came to kill me. He had held my hand then. I looked at Alec for support, he nodded, so I held my own hand out to Aro who swiftly took it.
'Ah, welcome to our home Renesmee.' He smiled, 'I will have Jane show you to your room. There are clothes in the closet for you, they should fit.' He turned to Jane, who walked from the room. Alec squeezed my hand, and whispered in my ear.
'It's ok, I'll find you later.' Then he pushed me towards to the door after Jane. I quickly followed her, not wanting to get lost in here. She took me to the other side of the castle, and stopped in front of two large oak doors.
'This is your room.' Then she turned and walked away, leaving me in a strange place on my own. I pushed the oak door open, and walked into my new room. Gasping I looked around, mesmerised. My room was huge, it had to be as big as my whole house back in Forks. I walked in and closed the door behind me. First I walked to the closet, although it was more of bedroom than a closet. It was a whole walk in wardrobe which didn't have doors, that's how I knew it was a wardrobe. I opened my bag and saw the note from Jacob. Quickly I took it out, and put it in the closet drawer I could find. I covered it with my tops, and then in the next drawer down put my jeans.
I walked around the wardrobe putting my clothes away, and looking at the clothes already in the wardrobe. The were all made of the finest materials, they must have been so expensive. I looked around the rest of my room, in my en suite bathroom, complete with Jacuzzi bath, and my massive balcony. I had been in my room for about an hour now, and was enjoying taking running jumps onto my queen sized bed. I had just landed on my bed after a decent swan dive, when I heard claps from my door. I jumped up and saw Alec standing just inside my room, closing my door.
'Very nice.' He said walking towards me. I smiled at him as he wrapped his arms around my waist. 'Welcome home.'
Suddenly I felt incredibly tired. 'Thanks. Do you mind if go to sleep? The trek here was tiring, and you know, I sleep.' I said, weirdly it sounded like I was apologising for sleeping. He seemed fine with it though, as he pulled me towards my bed. He picked me up in his arms and softly put me on the bed. I pulled the covers around me, and he lent down to me.
'My room is just down the hall. I'll be there if you need me.' He kissed my forehead, and added 'Goodnight my love.'
I lay in bed for hours, unable to sleep. My mind wouldn't shut up, every time I closed my eyes I saw my family finding the letter. I saw how my family would react, I saw Jacob. I could hear every sound, and started to imagine things that probably weren't there. After a while I decided to go to Alec, maybe he could shut off my mind. I slid out of bed, and looked down at the midnight purple night dress that came down to my thighs. I walked down the candle lit corridor, and knocked on the door at the end. A moment later the door was pulled open and Alec stood in front of me.
'Renesmee, what's wrong? What's happened?' he looked so serious.
'Nothing, I just can't sleep, can I come in?' I asked before he took my hand and pulled me into his room. His room was basically the same as mine, except where mine was painted deep purple his was black. His eyes became wide as he registered what I was wearing.
'You look... amazing.' He purred in my ear. We walked over to his bed, and sat on it. I rested my head on his chest as he wrapped me in his arms. 'I love you, my beautiful Renesmee.' I closed my eyes, smiled and feel into a deep sleep.
*DREAM*
I'm sitting in a field of white bluebells. In a long flowy white dress. I can hear a river flowing somewhere nearby, but it's being drowned out by an arguement. I walk towards it, and see my family. My dad and Jaob are shouting at eachother, everyone olses is holding them apart from each other. I ran over to them, realising that I'm wearing heels, to stop them.
'Stop it! Dad! Jacob! Stop it!' I shouted, alothoug I was standing right next to them they didn't seem to hear me.
'It's your fault she's dead!' Dead? Who's dead? 'If it wasn't for you my daughter would still be alive with us!' shouted my dad.
'Do you think I like this? I feel so empty without her! I felt the moment she died, it was like something inside me died too!' Jacob shouted back.
'Guys, what are you talking about? I'm right here!' I scream at them.
Everyone stops, and looks at me, except it's more like they're looking through me. I look around and see my beautiful meadow is black, full of death. Bodies are everywhere, I can hear moans coming from some of them. Then I hear a merciless laugh. I look at the owner of the laugh and gasp. The hair is short, bouncing with curls and black. She is dressed in a full length midnight purple dress, with killer black heels. Her eyes are glaring red at my family. When she speaks her voice is as cold as ice, it sends a shiver up my spine.
'I couldn't help it, I was just so hungry.'
Alec comes out of the shadows and stands beside her.
'Time for the main course, my love.'
I stand unable to move, unable to help, unable to scream as I see my family being hunted my boyfriend and myself.
