Stephanie Meyer owns Twilight/JR Ward owns Black Dagger Brotherhood – Huge A/N at the end. Please read it, it relates to the story.


"Fuck!" Edward yelled in frustration. They'd been doing this for the past hour, Jacob, him, Emmett and Alice. They'd all given chase after Renesmee when she'd jumped from the hotel window. They had chased her into the forest, when they'd hit a wall. Not an actual wall more like an invisible barrier. Once they hit it, they'd forgotten why they were there. They'd pull up short, glance at each other confused and then turn around. Once they were far enough from the invisible wall they'd remember what they were out there to do and head back again. Only to be confronted by the same problem. They'd tried going around the barrier, tried going over the barrier, but it was no use. They hit it at every turn they took. Edward had no doubt in his mind who was responsible for it. 'The strangers'. They'd worked this same voodoo magic at the club. He knew Bella wasn't susceptible, and that she would be able to get through barrier. But the thought of leaving and getting her made his body burn. So he had continued on with the ridiculous tirade of hitting the invisible barrier.

"Edward we need to stop and get Bella, before Renesmee's scent becomes too faint for her to smell" Emmett said placing his arm on Edwards shoulder in an effort to calm him.

Jacob came up to Edward still in wolf form, and brushed his nose against Edwards arm.

'What can Bella do?' Jacob thought, leaving Edward to read his mind.

"She can see through the barrier, it doesn't work on her" Edward said in answer to Jacobs's question.

'And you didn't think to mention this, say an hour ago' Jacob was now screaming his thoughts. Steam coming out of his nostrils, from breathing hard.

"Look. If Bella comes out here, she'll be running on her own. None of us will be able to follow her. If this is a trap, I will lose both of them. I need Carlisle. I need to think" Edward growled.

"Edward, I'll go get everyone. Bella needs to be told regardless" Alice said softy before retreating back toward the city.

"This doesn't make sense. I can't even hear her thoughts. It was like the moment she hit the barrier, she became invisible as well" Edward spoke frustrated.

"Bro, we'll work it out. We already know these guys are no match for us. Bella will be fine. Plus she can be feisty when she wants to be" Emmett said trying to ease the tension surrounding them.

Jacob was pacing a circle around them, while Edward was trying to block out everyone's thoughts and try and focus on the one set, he'd give anything to hear right now.

Thunder cracked overhead, and as Edward looked up he willed the heavens not to open. He could sense rain was on its way, but he begged anyone up there that would listen to him to hold off. If it began to rain it would wash Renesmees scent away. Of course he'd already been given more than his fair share of blessings, and the heavens opened and poured.

It took less than five minutes for Alice to return with Bella, Carlisle and Rosalie. Carlisle's thoughts telling him, Esme stayed behind, incase Renesmee tried to call.

"Edward" Bella said before wrapping her arms around him, her clothes damp from the rain, her hair slicked to her face. She looked worried and angry at the same time.

"Carlisle?" Edward asked looking towards his father for advice on how to proceed.

"Alice told us what's happened. Bella has already agreed that she will follow Renesmees scent. If we can't follow Bella so be it" Carlisle said looking hard at Edward.

Edward pulled Bella closer to him. He felt Bella's arms squeeze him tight as if trying to reassure him.

"Please come back to me" Edward begged. Bella nodded her head against his chest before she released him and set off. Him and his family following behind her.

He prayed that she would still be able to track Renesmee's scent, that the rain having only just starting to fall wouldn't have washed away too much. Just as they were approaching the barrier, he reached down and grabbed hold of her hand. He felt her shield come over the both of them, and then it snapped. Dazed he looked back at his family who were twenty feet away; they had hit the barrier and now were looking at each other confused. They didn't even seem to be able to see him and Bella.

Bella looked back at Edward and grabbed his hand once more, before he felt her shield slip over him.

"Quickly Edward, I don't have much time, her scent is almost gone" Bella pleaded.

'Renesmee' Edward suddenly remembered what they were doing. He took a step forward and the shield slipped from him again, leaving him dazed once more. Bella stood looking at him for a second before she turned and ran from him. He reached his hand out to grab her but she was gone.

Dazed and confused, he made his way back to the hotel. As soon as he was clear of the barrier, everything came rushing back to him. 'Renesmee, Bella, her shield not holding on him'.

He saw his family standing together looking angry and bewildered.

"Bella was able to get through the barrier?" Carlisle asked when Edward joined them.

"Yes, I don't know. I think she tried to shield me, but it kept breaking" Edward said shaking the rain from his hair.

"Yes I sensed her shielding us, but as we crossed the line of the barrier, I felt it snap from us. Extraordinary seeing as she was able to protect us all from Jane and Alec, yet here, it seems she is only able to protect herself" Carlisle said, wonder shining in his eyes.

"Please Carlisle, I know this excites you, but my wife and daughter are in the hands of thugs. Thugs that are able to hide from us. I really do not need you telling me how extraordinary they are" Edward said pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Of course Edward. My apologies. Alice has anything changed, does Wrath still intend on meeting with me tonight?" Carlisle said turning to Alice, who was wrapped around Jasper.

She closed her eyes before opening them and smiling. "Yes, yes he's still coming and he's bringing Renesmee with him" she said bouncing in Jaspers arms.

"So they do have her?" Edward said reaching across and grabbing her arm to still her.

"Yes brother. She is fine" Alice said taking a deep breath and showing Edward the scene she had just seen.

"I'm going tomorrow with you Carlisle" Rosalie said quickly.

"No" both Alice and Edward yelled.

"If anyone is going, it'll be me and Bella" Edward said harshly

"No. No one but Carlisle can go. It will set off a chain of events if anyone else goes" Alice said quickly showing Edward exactly what she meant.

"Alice" Edward moaned.

"It is his intention to return her to us. I will let you know if something changes" Alice said smiling sadly at him.

Edward could smell Bella before he heard her returning through the forest. She ran straight for him. The despair and pain radiating off her.

"I…I couldn't track…her scent…the…rain" she sobbed into Edwards chest.

"Love. Love look at me. It's okay. Alice has seen that Wrath will bring her with him tonight when he meets Carlisle. She's going to be fine" Edward said, trying to reassure Bella.

She looked quickly at Alice for confirmation, who smiled back at her confirming what Edward had told her.

"And you didn't think to tell me this sooner" Bella said angrily pulling herself away from Edward.

"Love, it only just happened, and even if I wanted to come find you, I doubt I could have" Edward said stepping forward and crushing Bella against himself.

"Is she really okay Alice?" Bella said muffled against Edwards's chest.

"Yes Bella, she looks just fine" Alice replied.

"Come on, there's not much we can do here anymore" Carlisle said turning and heading out of the forest.

~*~*~*~*~*

Stepping out of the shower, Resnemee reached for a towel and wrapped it around her body, moving over to stand in front of the sink. She wiped the condensation off the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked normal again. No gun residue left on her. Her hair was wet, but she knew it would dry soon. She reached over and grabbed the dress Beth had given her to wear. There was underwear there as well, and although it looked brand new, Renesmee wasn't about to put it on. Not unless she knew it was new and had never been worn before. She quickly dried off and slipped the dress over her head. She and Beth were the same size, so the dress fit her perfectly. It was a nice summer dress, something she would own herself. Renesmee quickly drew the towel through her hair, trying to soak up all the excess water, when she was confident she'd gotten all she could out, she flung her hair over her shoulder. She could hear the women talking animatedly from the lounge.

They were in 'the pit' Beth had called it. At first when Beth said that's where they were going, imagines of a dark dingy pit flooded her, but Renesmee was glad to find, it was actually just a smaller house, connected by tunnels to the big house. 'Ha big house' Renesmee thought smiling.

The men had followed them here, but one look from Beth and in fact all the women and the men stopped outside the door and didn't follow them in.

She pulled the door open and walked through a bedroom, the bathroom was clearly an ensuite, she didn't linger long in the bedroom not wanting to invade someone's personal space. She did notice though that the room was saturated in a deep rich spicy smell. It was beautiful. She must remember to ask who's ever room it was, what incense it was. She walked down a hallway and found all the women sitting around a lounge area, talking and sipping drinks. She could sense straight away that two of the women were human from their scents, though each of them seemed to also smell of different rich spices. Maybe the whole house had a thing for incenses. Three of the women smelled similar, like all the strange men. Renesmee thought they had to be vampires, but like the two human women they each smelled of spices. One of them, Marissa smelt like the room she had taken a shower in. And finally there was Beth. Who had a weird combination of human and vampire as well as spices. That didn't surprise Renesmee since Beth had told her she was indeed half human half vampire. What surprised Renesmee was how easily the human women fit in. Stories that her family had told her about her mother before she was a vampire, had always made out, that it took each of her family great difficulty to be around her mother when she was human, even more so for her father.

"Feel better?" Beth asked when she spotted Renesmee and patted the space beside her on the couch.

"Yes thanks" Renesmee replied before going and sitting down. The room had quieted and now all the women were studying her. "Ah can I have a drink?" Renesmee said motioning to the beer that was sitting in front of Beth on the coffee table.

Beth smiled widely at her, revealing two very prominent fangs. Renesmee pulled back in shock.

"Just how old are you, first?" Beth said not fazed by Renesmee pulling back.

"Mmm twenty one" Resnemee lied, and immediately felt her face flare with heat.

Beth and Jane laughed. "Twenty one huh?" Beth asked raising an eyebrow. Renesmee ducked her head, letting her wet hair shield her face.

"How about a coke instead?" Mary asked smiling politely.

"Sure cokes fine" Resenemee answered lifting her head. She watched as Mary got up and headed to the gallery kitchen.

"So we know it's late, but we're all dying to know more about you" Beth said smiling.

Renesmee didn't want to be poked and prodded like a circus freak, but she was just as curious about the strangers, as they seemed to be of her. Plus it was her original intent to go with John, Qhuinn and Blay and prove to her parents she was old enough to meet the strangers. What better way of showing her parents this, if she learnt as much about them as she could.

"Ah sure, as long as it goes both ways?" Renesmee said nodding her head in thanks to Mary who handed her a cold can of coke.

"Of course" the surreally beautiful Cormia said. Resnemee wondered if this is how people felt looking at her aunt Rose, that it hurt to look at her because of her beauty.

"Okay then" Renesmee said shrugging her shoulder and popping open the can of coke and taking a sip before putting it on the coffee table next to Beth's beer.

"So you're not twenty one, just how old are you?" Jane asked a look on her face, Renesmee had seen countless times on her grandfather. Jane clearly loved getting new information.

"Technically I'm like six calendar years, but obviously I'm older than that, physically and mentally. My grandfather would put me at about eighteen" Renesmee said quickly. Okay technically Carlisle would put her at about sixteen and a half, the growth at which she had been growing had been slowing down the past year. Renesmee hopped that she hadn't stopped growing yet. She didn't want to be stuck in the body of a sixteen year old for the rest of her life. How was she supposed to get into clubs or buy alcohol? She looked around the room to find most of the women had their mouths open, or were glaring at her in shock. "What?" Reseenmee asked. Beth had said she was half human, half vampire, so this can't be news to them.

"What do you mean you're six?" Jane asked moving forward in her chair, her hands clasped together on her knees.

"Well I was born on March eighth two thousand and six"* Resnemee said shrugging.

"Not possible" Jane said in awe.

"Okay" Resnemee drawled out. This was going to be a long evening. Maybe she should feign tiredness' and just go to bed.

"No really, how is it possible?" Jane asked recovering a bit from her shock.

"Um I really don't know. It's just what happens with half human, half vampires. You know" Renesmee said looking to Beth who had remained silent with her mouth open.

Beth shook her head, seeming to clear her thoughts. "No sorry Renesmee, I was almost twenty five when I went through my transition. But I grew at a normal rate"

"But you said you were half vamp, half human as well" Renesmee said

"I am. But…I" Beth stuttered looking at Jane.

"Is it possible there is more than one race of vampires?" Jane asked Beth before looking back around the room at Cormia, Bella and Marissa, who Resnemee had guessed were vampires also. Each of them looked just as shocked and disbelieving as Beth.

"No. In all my time on the other side, never once had I heard or seen anything that would suggest such a thing" Cormia said breaking out of her dazed appearance.

"I have never heard of anything in the gylmeria" Marissa said her hand moving to her throat.

"Can you tell us the history of your race?" Jane asked Renesmee.

"Ah sure. I mean I can tell you what I know, though my grandfather would know more" Renesmee said to Jane who nodded at her to continue. "From what I know, no one knows who created the first vampire, though many theories exists. One being that the first vampire was a fallen angel, and that he'd become lonely and changed another person and then the thing kind of spiraled from there. At first in the early ages, vampires were looked on as gods and didn't hide from humans, because humans couldn't kill them, so they pretty much reined the world. Of course with struggles for power, vampires started killing each other, till finally the coven in Romania reined, but they kept themselves hidden from everyone, that way their enemies couldn't find them. Over time however they got discovered by the Volturi and were taken over, and then the Volturi has reigned for the last four hundred years. They live in Italy and as far as I know, they only have one rule, and that is to keep the existence of vampires a secret. They have all sorts of vampires with gifts, so it makes them pretty hard to fight against. Though my family and our family friends have fought against them. Well not really fought, but years ago, when I was barely a toddler, the Volturi came for my family, but they were able to hold them off. Now the Volturi leaves us alone. As for half human, half vampires, well no one has known about them, until I came along. Everyone thought I was the first one, because such things weren't possible. But then my Aunt Alice and uncle Jasper found three more living in the Amazon jungle. My grandfather studied them for a bit before they returned to the Amazon. The Volturi has forbidden though that more half human and half vampires be made, because no one can be certain what kind of risk we pose" Renesmee said reaching for her can of coke and taking a long drink.

"Fuck. I need something stronger" Beth said getting up and moving to the kitchen.

Renesmee lowered her can of coke and looked around the room. Again all the women had their mouths open in shock. This was getting tired fast. Beth returned with a bottle of Grey Goose and six shot glasses. She lined them up on the coffee table and with shaking hands began to pour the shots. The women all quickly grabbed a shot and downed it, before putting the glass back down and Beth refilling it. Again they all downed the shot quickly.

"What of the Scribe Virgin?" Bella asked Resneeme.

"Who?" Renesmee shrugged.

"You've never heard of the Scribe Virgin?" Cormia asked

"No. Is she like the Virgin Mary?"

"She's our entity, the one that created us" Cormia answered.

"So she might be the original fallen angel?" Renesmee said excited moving forward in her chair. Imagine if she discovered the original vampire. How much kudos would that get her with her parents? They'd never be able to treat her like a child again.

"No. She's not a fallen angel. She's our goddess" Beth said quietly.

"Oh" Renesmee said disappointed. 'Where these people like pagan vampires'

"She's real though" Jane said sensing Renesmee's disappointment.

Renesmee must have looked at her like she didn't believe her, because Jane quickly followed up.

"I know what you're thinking. But she isn't like some statue that we pray to or anything. She is a real being. Had I not meet her, I wouldn't have believed it myself"

"So then how do you know if she isn't the original fallen angel?" Renesmee said, her voice cracking with the returned excitement. If this person was real and not just some picture or statue, then it could be possible that she was the original fallen angel. Her granddad had said that the early vampires had thought of themselves as gods, it was possible this one still thought of herself as a goddess.

"Well she's not a vampire" Cormia offered.

"And she had the power to heal illness" Mary said

"And bring people back to life" Jane said quietly.

"Plus she's more powerful than any being on this earth" Bella said with conviction.

"Well um stupid question time here. But where is she?" Renesmee said looking over her shoulder quickly. She'd seen one too many horror films where the villain pops up behind the victims.

"She lives on the other side" Beth said.

"Other side of the house?" Renesmee asked shocked

Cormia chuckled lightly. "No other side. It's not here on Earth"

"Oh you mean like heaven?" Resnemee said using air quotes for heaven.

"Well yes sort of" Jane said quickly.

"But I thought you said she wasn't a statue. That you've seen her?" Renesmee asked confused.

"We have. She comes here to Earth, or there are few of us, lucky enough go to her on the other side" Bella explained.

"Wrath has gone to her now" Beth said quietly. Renesmee watched as all the women nodded their heads in understanding at that.

"How does he go to her?" Renesmee asked intrigued

"Well, there's a ceremony he has to perform, and only if she wants him to come to her, she will grant him permission to cross over, or if not, then he doesn't go" Beth explained.

"Oh." Renesmee said not sure what to make of that.

"Who are the Volturi?" Cormia asked.

"Ah well there's three of them that rein. Aro, Marcus and Cauis. But they have people with them. No one really knows how many, but they are the biggest coven. Our coven is the second biggest that we know of" Renesmee said.

"How could two races of vampire's exists and never have met before now?" Jane asked dumbfounded.

Renesmee could only shrug her shoulders. It seemed her idea of getting knowledge out of the strangers, had only left her with more questions. She tried to think of what her father or grandfather would do in this situation.

"What about the pale men. Who are they?" Renesmee asked, getting back to why her family was here in the first place.

The women all recoiled at the mention of pale men.

"Lessers" Mary hissed.

"Lessers?" Renesmee asked "Are they a different breed of vampires as well"

"Definitely not" Beth growled

"They're our races enemies" Cormia said angrily.

"What do you mean?" Resneeme asked confused. She'd never heard of vampires having enemies besides other vampires.

"They're the children of the Omega. Their sole purpose is to kill us" Beth said bitterly

"But how? Jacob told me, they're next easy to kill" Renesmee said.

"What do you mean?" Beth asked quickly. Her hands grabbing Renesmees hands.

"Ah Jacob, he's like a family friend. He and my uncle Emmett were the first ones to come across them. It took them awhile to figure out how to kill them. They tried ripping them apart and burning them, but they wouldn't die. They got my granddad and dad, and my uncle Jasper and they went and tried all different kinds of things, till they finally figured out stabbing them killed them"

"How many was there?" Beth asked

"Three. I'm not supposed to know about it. But Jacob can't keep things from me" Resenemee said ducking her head. She felt her face warm.

"And Jacob is?" Jane said grinning.

"Um, a family friend" Renesmee answered, willing her the blood to reside from her cheeks.

"A good looking family friend" Mary said smiling widely.

"Yeah, he is pretty good looking" Renesmee said finally grinning in return.

"So is he a vampire as well?" Cormia asked.

"Ah no" Renesmee said, the grin dropping from her face. Should she tell them he was a werewolf? Would they be angry with her for deceiving them? She decided it wasn't worth the risk. She would tell them eventually.

"So human?" Beth whispered, giving her a slight nudge.

"You could say that" Renesmee said the grin returning to her face.

"Poor Qhuinn, he's going to be so disappointed" Bella said before laughing.

"Qhuinn?" Resnemee asked confused. Qhuinn was deliciously handsome, with one blue eye and one green eye, why would he be disappointed that Renesmee had a somewhat boyfriend.

"You caught that too" Cormia said laughing and looking at Bella.

"I think everyone caught it" Beth said giving Cormia a wink.

"Caught what?" Renesmee asked.

"Nothing you need to worry about for now. It was only faint. I don't think he even noticed it" Beth said

"Noticed what?" Renesmee said getting frustrated.

Beth raised an eyebrow to Bella, before looking at each woman. They all had shrunk back in their chairs, looking at the ground or fiddling with their clothing.

"Seriously you females are going to leave me hanging?" Beth asked with mock hurt in her voice.

Mary looked up and smiled sheepishly at Renesmee. Marissa and Cormia looked over to Beth.

"Fine. I'll do it" Jane said finally.

"Renesmee, how territorial are your males towards your females?" Jane asked. Renesmee's eyebrows popped so high, she was sure they were touching her hairline.

"Why?" Renesmee asked, almost afraid to hear the answer.

"Our males are very territorial, especially when they're bonded" Jane continued.

"Bonded?" Renesmee asked. Though she had a sneaky suspicion that bonded, maybe meant something like how her parents were. Or her aunties and uncles. Vampires mated and became very protective of each other, no bond was stronger. Was that what they were trying to say? That Qhuinn felt bonded to her?

"Yes bonding. When a males sets his sights on a female and bonds, he emits a bonding scent as a warning to other males, that the female is taken"

"What kind of scent?" Renesmee asked with a picture of a skunk squirting a female skunk with urine, marking her as his. If they thought she was going to let Qhuinn mark her with his scent then he was going to be in for a very big surprise.

"It emanates from their pores, and is contained in their semen" Jane said without flinching or looking embarrassed.

"What!" Renesmee screeched. Hell no was that Qhuinn getting close enough to her to sweat all over her, little lone taking her virginity. That was for Jake and Jake alone.

"Whoa relax. Like we said, it was very faint. Sometimes they don't even know they're doing it. It could be that he just felt very protective of you" Beth said trying to calm Renesmee down.

"No that can't happen, Jake will kill him" Renesmee said her tone still high.

"Males are extremely strong. I'm sure he'd manage his own against Jacob. Even still they're not savages. He wouldn't hurt Jacob if you choose Jacob over him" Jane said smiling trying to be reassuring.

"What can I do to stop it? You don't understand Jake will kill him" Renesmee said desperately.

"Really it's okay. Just stay away from Qhuinn. But you don't need to worry about Qhuinn, he's tougher than he seems. Really a human is no match for the brothers" Beth said smiling.

Shit. Crap. Fuck. Do I tell them Jake is a werewolf, or do I just avoid Qhuinn? Fuck. Get out of dodge. Hell yes.

"Okay" Renesmee said faking a smile at Beth. "So just so we don't have world war three on our hands, with Jake and Qhuinn, maybe I should get going. My parents will probably be worried" Renesmee said softy.

"Oh please stay. We promise we won't let Qhuinn near you. There's still so much we have to learn from you" Jane begged.

Shit. Crap. Fuck.


For readers who haven't been over to the BDB forum, and all readers for this matter, please take note. This was only supposed to be a one shot, which got blown out of proportion. There was no story line, no plot, no nothing. It was simply supposed to be the Cullans meeting the Brothers. I'm really just making it up as I go along. So please forgive me, if I keep just spewing stuff out. I have a somewhat plan, whether I will go that way, I have no idea.
