Krilaia: Well here is chapter nine. It's another intense one, as will the next one be. The next one is the last chapter.


Bella stared at me, as though I was crazy.

"Who?" She asked, eyes wide.

"The Volturi…" I repeated. Before I knew what was happening she grabbed my arm and was out of the door. She didn't bother using human speed, and I felt a bit nauseous actually seeing my surroundings blur by us. She stopped a minute later, in a room with every other vampire in there.

"We have a problem." Bella said, not letting go and only tightening the grip on my arm. I winced. Not that I was weak or anything but she was gripping pretty hard and she did have super strength and everything. Of course, I didn't have much time to dileberate that, seeing as soon as the word problem left Bella's lips Edward had my pinned against the wall, choking off my air supply. Bella's eyes widened and she shook her head.

"Not her!" She fixed, "but it's who she said sent her."

Edward reluctantly let me go, eyes narrowing. I took deep breaths, feeling the bruises I knew would be there by the end of the night. Bella shot me an apologetic look and I shrugged.

"Who was it then, who sent them?" Edward asked, crossing his arms. I looked at the expectant faces, and saw a blond holding a small girl. She must have been Reneseme, and it showed that Bella trusted me to keep my word if she was letting me in here.

Not that I could have taken out that many vampires by myself, but I was ignoring that fact.

"The Volturi sent them." Bella said, staring and each and every face. There was a mixture of shock and anger that crossed their faces.

"But… why?" Carlisle asked allowed.

"Well they said something about 'too powerful' and 'a waste to rid them all but it was too dangerous' stuff like that. You did a good job scaring them, g'job!" I put up a mock thumps up, which none of them found funny.

"Well that certainly changes things. We'll have to notify a few others…" he stopped, trailing off.

"So what do we do about her?" The blond, she was beautiful even for a vampire, asked, her voice a bit icy. I could tell she didn't want anything more than to see me rot.

"We let her and her family go." Bella answered. There were a numerous amount of people talking all at the same time, and I didn't want to even try and listen to them. I didn't want to think I had just ruined everything and would get the same fate as if I hadn't. It didn't seem fair. I wanted the chance to talk to Embry, but from the way the discussion was going I wasn't sure that was a chance.

I noticed the mind-reader staring at me and a thought overcame me. I closed my eyes and replayed the scene with Bella in my head, some things leaking from my consciousness I didn't want people to know. When I opened my eyes it had gone quite and Edward was looking at me in an understand way. He laced his fingers with Bella's.

"I think Bella is right. Let them go." He turned to me, "You all can come back and we will negotiate the terms of you staying here later."


When I walked through the door everyone was up, and I could hear the different discussions going on in the nearby kitchen. From the sound of it, they were planning an second go at the Cullens. As I stepped into the doorway I listened for a moment, before Ne-oh's glanced towards where I was, then back at the table in front of them. He did a double take, his eyes widening.

"Reenie? It is you!" He jumped from where he was sitting, the farthest one sitting at the kitchen table, and ran towards me, eloping me in a bone crushing hug.

"Ow?" I offered, as he let go.

"We thought you were dead! Or kidnapped… or captive…what happened to your neck?" He started but caught himself, arms crossed, "Not that it matters. It would serve you right."

I heard a chuckle from my father, the deep rumbling sound that I hadn't heard often, and my mother click her tongue.

"So how'd you get out?" My mother asked. She didn't verify I had needed to get out of any situation or place, she knew. And it was as though she knew I had done something I wasn't supposed to. If I could have chosen any moment to hide away, it would have been that one.

"I, um…" I sputtered, fidgeting nervously. Father watched me carefully.

"She probably did it finally getting a hold of her powers fully." Ne-oh stated, grinning. I shook my head no before taking a deep breath.

"I told them." The room went silent, as they stared at me. "I told them who sent us for pardon and to let us stay here…"

My mother stood up, her petite frame silently came towards me, as she slapped me across the cheek. The sound vibrated in the air and I had to hold back the gut wrenching feeling I had.

"You ungrateful, worthless child." She said, glaring up at me. "You got your feelings wrapped too tightly around some boy and you go and tell the world our secret. I found your letter to him. You ruin our reputation so you can be with him. You're no daughter of mine, you whore."

The words struck me hard and I had to fight the urge to cry. I hadn't cried since I was ten, and I knew I wouldn't now. Not in front of them. I looked towards my dad. He met my gaze and turned his back on me, agreeing with what my mother had just said.

"Ne-oh?" I asked, quietly, glancing at him. He looked torn, and for a moment I thought he would side with me. Instead, he turned his back on me too, and went and sat with Dad. I swallowed, my head feeling heavy.

"Get out." Mom said, glaring, "You're not welcome here so long as we are."

I stared at her, and it wasn't until she started pushing me backwards that I stumbled and ran. I didn't know where I was going, only that my feet were taking me. By the time I stopped I had to clutch my chest and gasp from the hollow aching feeling that appeared. I couldn't believe they had just disowned me like that, for keeping them safe! We would have lost… Why couldn't they see that? I took a shaky breathe before looking up at where I was, and swallowed hard. Embry's house. He would have never gotten the letter, not if my mom had taken it and read it. He wouldn't know anything aside from the fact I was a killer, and I refused to let things end at that. I had to explain, it wasn't like my mother claimed, I wasn't a whore. I just… loved him. The thought brought mixed emotions and I had to shove it away to avoid the on slaughter of emotions. I took a few steps towards his house, but didn't make it to the door before Jacob and Sam stepped out. Neither looked happy to see me.

"Why don't you go back home to the rest of you killers, no one here wants you." Jacob snarled, crossing his arms. I bit my tongue, not wanting to fight.

"I just want to explain everything to him. He has a right to know." I said, looking at Jacob until Sam spoke, and my attention turned to him.

"You're a little late for that." I knew that, but I refused to give up.

"I have to explain. Please." I wasn't a begging person, but I was now. I couldn't let it end like this.

"Or what? You'll kill us to get to him?" Jacob sneered and I turned to him, growling.

"Yeah, sure." I said sarcastically, "Because anyone who pisses me off I kill. Bardus! If that was how it was done half the world would be dead!"

"Because you're so righteous in who you kill." Jacob remarked.

"It doesn't matter. You aren't getting to him. I would suggest you get off the La Push area, though." Sam said and I just stared at him.

"Are you… threatening me?" I whispered. He didn't answer and I snarled in frustration. "Since when did you make all of Embry's decisions? He's a grown boy! I'm pretty sure he can tell me if he wants to talk to me on his own or not!"

"I don't." My head whipped towards the now open door and my heart thudded, stuttered, and felt like it stopped. Embry looked sick, like he hadn't been eating or sleeping. And even saying that made his face contort in pain. I stared at him, unsure if his appearance or if what he had said hurt me worse.

"Embry… please let me explain. I promise it isn't what it seems…" I whispered, to see him shake his head, wincing his eyes shut. I laughed bitterly, staring at the ground. "So I guess you lied, huh?"

He looked at me, blankly. I swallowed before looking him in the eye.

"I care about you, I could never hurt you."I said, imitating his voice, "I might not have told you what I was, or what I did, but I did tell you how I felt. I did the second worst thing I could ever do, and I fell for you. Not only did I let my emotions run and wrap themselves around you but I told you, and now what do you do? You go and do the one thing I told you I was afraid of. Thanks a lot. I really hate to be able to say I told you so. Did you get your satisfaction? What was that thing you told me about imprinting? I guess it doesn't matter if it was all a lie. I never lied to you, I didn't tell you all of it but I never once lied."

"You should leave." Sam said, before Embry could say anything. He gave Embry a look, who was currently looking as though he was in a major amount of pain. But I was through.

"Yeah," I nodded, "I should. I should have never come."

I left, fading back into the shadows and going to the first place I could think. Home. Except it wasn't home. Instead of seeing stuff there, and the on slaughter of yelling I was expecting, I was greeted with an empty house. I didn't know how they had gotten everything out so quickly but I just knew I couldn't stay there. Stumbling out of the house I walked. I didn't have a destination in mind, I just needed something to end the burning ache that was filling my chest.

My family abandoned me.

Embry abandoned me.

The thoughts repeated themselves over in my head until I could hear a sniffling noise could be heard from my own body, and my lower lip trembled. I wasn't a crier, I was a fighter, but as soon as the rain started I could feel them. Hot tears rolling down my cheeks, and my breathing became erratic. As the rain turned vicious, I gave up, dropping to the ground and hugging my knees to my chest. The tears continued, and I could feel myself losing grips with reality. There was only one thought that ran through my head.

I was unwanted.


Krilaia: bardus= stupid

I feel the need to explain why their mom let them go, since she doesn't get explained in the next chapter like their dad does. Reenie's mom used to be very sweet and caring, but if you recall she tried her humanity to get powers so she could protect her children. The only problem was that in trading her humanity she lost her motherliness and most of her compassionate feelings. The change warped her and she isn't really herself anymore. So when Reenie did something that could hurt them as an entire family, her reflex was to get rid of the problem, no matter how extreme. She didn't see her as her daughter, but as a threat, and even if she did see her as her daughter she now lacks the compassion to see that as harsh. I hope that clears things up!

Remember kids, that review button as the bottom makes me smile =D
