As I watched my daughter and her bestfriend run off into the forest, playfully nipping each other I held Jacob back. "Let her go." I told him and he looked at me pleadingly, I could see his desperation to never let her out of his sight again but I shook my head, "No. She needs time to get her head straight." I told him firmly and he realxed in defeat and paced. I watched him for a few moments then sat back down and Edward held my hand wanting to ask questions, "Bella where have you been all these years?" Esme asked me and I smiled "Alaska." I told her and Edward snorted, "What has Ness and Maura done all this time?" Quil asked and I shrugged. "School, basic life, friends, boyfriends, etc." I saw Jacob stiffen at the boyfriend part, Carlise frowned "Wasnt her friends perplexed on her fast development?" and I shook my head "Growth spurt." I answered simply. "Bella why were you gone for two years?" Rosalie asked and I hesitated "Um well first it took me a year to get her back-" "Get her back!" Paul blurted and I nodded grimly remembering the memory well, "Yes she was held captive by the Volturi for a year." I hissed and Edward's grip tightened and silence filled the room. "Then I waited in Alaska for a year for things to cool out about my daughter's disapperance." I finished and I was answered by silence, 'What did they do to her?" Embry asked and I shook my head "I dont know. She wouldnt tell and you saw how she reacted to their names." I muttered and he nodded "How is she a shape-shifter?" Jared asked and I shrugged "I dont know and dont care. She loves it and so does Maura." silence then "Bella what happened? Why did you not grab Nessie when you had the chance at the battle?" Jacob questioned and I winced at the memory, "Um well..." I started but trailed off when Edward started to examine my neck and he held back a gasp as he found my scar. "He bit you." Edward snarled and everyone stiffened and I sighed "Edward..." "No Bella!" he snarled, and I sighed "I forgot how much you over react." I muttered and he frowned at me "Edward its fine I honestly dont care." and I shook off his hand examining my neck. I couldnt help but wonder with growing suspicion of what Reneesmee said about my Dad, what did she know about his disapperance? "Bella. Love whats wrong?" Edward asked sensing my anxiety and I glanced at him "I'm just wondering what Ren said. She knows something about Charlie." I wondered and he nodded frowning slightly, "Ren?" Jacob blurted a deep frown and I shrugged "She likes Nessie better and it was a nickname Maura's boyfriend gave her." the smile that lighted his face dropped at the mention of the boy. "He loves or loved Maura Jake, he was also a good friend to Reneesmee." I assured him and his cloudy expression lightened and Edward snorted while the pack held back small snickers, but that abruptly stopped when Maura came crashing "BELLA!" she screamed tears streaming down her face and she rammed into my arms. "What happened? Maura breath!" I told her and held her at arms length "T-this guy. He c-came into the c-clearing we were in. Nessie told me to get you. I-I dont know who he was-" Maura cried and that was we were all a flurry of movement while Jacob snarled and bolted out the door, the pack and us on his heels the pack phased all in mid-air out the door and we followed Maura's lead who didnt bother to phase. As soon as we entered the clearing a cold feeling crept into me and I noticed a single white wolf against ten black wolves, Reneesmee glanced back at us and gave shake of her head while the front wolf phased into human form. "Charlie!" I gasped and my father gave a small smile while Reneesmee snarled and phased back as well, "What do you want Charlie?" she growled and I moved forward as did Jacob but Edward and Sam moved into our way. Jacob snarled at Sam while I bared my teeth at Edward "Move!" I hissed at him but he only stood there "Why do you think i'm here sweetie? To see you and Bells." Charlie answered and Reneesmee only stared furiously, "Liar!" she shrieked her eyes muderous while confusion layered the air growls ripped from the black wolves. Charlie held up his hands to silence them "Charlie how did you become a shapeshifter?" Sam asked and Charlie glanced at him "Dont know. I think it was when some people attacked my house and one of them bit me." Charlie shrugged and my mouth dropped open while Reneesmee looked sick. "They did the same to me as to the others." and he gestured back to the wolves who let out a series of growls and snarls, "I think I know who bit us now and destroyed our lives." as he was saying this Reneesmee grew paler and he full out glared at her and so were the wolves bloodlust in their eyes. Jacob snarled next to me but it turned into a whine while I just stared in horror as the rest of us, "Charlie I was forced." Reneesmee choked out and snarls errupted from them "Now your a liar! You destroyed my life! Took my daughter away from me!" he screamed and she shrunk away and there I saw it the look of pure undiluted fear and haunted look and I hissed. Jacob growl grew louder never breaking rythm and he broke away from Sam and at the same time I broke away from Edward Maura on my heels, we stood next to her Jacob protectivly infront of us all and Charlie smiled something I wished I never saw on my father's face the pack and the Cullens stood with me. "And because I made a promise to my friends or pack. I think that we should get down to business. Sorry you kids have to die. But it's the only way." and with that Charlie shifted into a black wolf Reneesmee snarled and we echoed it. Maura shifted into her wolf form and I went into my hunting crouch along with Edward and my family mirroring my movement, Reneesmee shouldered her way to the front next to Jacob her eyes locked on Charlie, Jake tried to shoulder her behind him but she shoo him off her teeth bared. With a yowl from Charlie the wolves advanced and Reneesmee sprang forward with us close behind her and Jake fending her from behind and the sides.

I fought with one thought in my mind.

How did Reneesmee change all these men into wolves?
