Chapter 9
A few seconds later they spoke.
"You see?" he asked.
"Yes, I see indeed." Aro said. "You have given me much to ponder my young friend. Much more than I expected. May I meet her? I never dreamed of the existence of such a thing in all my centuries. What an addition to our histories! Will you introduce me to your daughter?"
Edward nodded.
"Very well." Aro said. "We will meet in the middle."
As he took a step the Guard took a step with him.
He turned back to his guard. "Hold dear ones. Truly they mean us no harm if we are peaceful."
Clara hissed. "I don't trust them." She whispered to Demetri.
He nodded in agreement.
Renata started whimpering and Clara rolled her eyes. "Master."
"Don't fret, my love." He said. "All is well."
'Renata is such a goody two shoes.' Clara thought.
"Perhaps you should bring a few members of your Guard with us." Edward said. "It will make them more comfortable."
Aro nodded and clicked his fingers. "Felix, Demetri."
Clara gasped. "Don't go Demetri." She whispered as she grabbed his arm as he took a step forward. "Something could happen to you."
Demetri smiled. "Relax. You worry too much."
Felix and Demetri were at his side at once.
"Bella bring Renesmee and a few friends."
Bella nodded. "Emmett, Jacob."
Emmett and Jacob stood behind Bella as they walked over to them.
Clara slid into a crouch as she watched Felix and Bella talk.
Clara heard Jane hiss when Aro mentioned something about giving Bella a gift.
Clara chuckled under her breathe. 'It seems that Jane isn't happy that Aro gave Bella a gift and not her.'
Aro cleared his throat. "May I greet your daughter lovely Bella."
Bella nodded and took a step forward.
"Hello Renesmee."
The child looked at Aro. "Hello Aro."
Aro gasped.
"What is it?" Caius hissed.
"Half mortal, half immortal." He explained. "Conceived so and carried by this newborn while she was still human."
"Impossible." Caius scoffed.
"Do you think they've fooled me then brother? Is the heartbeat you hear trickery as well." He turned back to Renesmee and held out his hand for her to take.
She leaned away from Bella and touched his cheek.
Clara listened in as they continued to talk.
Talk about Renesmee and werewolves.
She could see that Aro was right because she could hear her heartbeat.
'What is she?' she thought.
"So much to discuss." Aro said. "So much to decide. If you and your furry protector will excuse me my dear Cullen's I must confer with my brothers."
Aro waved his Guard forward and Caius began arguing with Aro at once.
"How can you believe all these lies?" He said.
"Because it's all true." Aro replied. "Every bit of it is true."
Caius rolled his eyes. "I want to talk to the informant." He said as he turned to Irina.
Irina wasn't listening to him she was looking at the crowd of people in front of her.
Clara followed her gaze and gasped.
'Eleazar!' she thought. 'It's Eleazar. His here. I don't believe it.'
Eleazar looked at her with wide eyes.
"Irina." Caius said.
She looked at him and snapped his fingers.
She went to stand next to him.
"So you appear to have been quite mistaken in your allegations." Caius said.
"I'm sorry." Irina whispered. "I should have made sure what I was seeing. This was my mistake and I take full responsibility for it."
Caius raised his hand as she spoke.
There was a strange metal object in his hands.
Suddenly three of the Volturi guards leaped forward and teared Irina to shreds.
