(Stefan)
"Alright, Renesmee," Stefan began flatly. "The first thing you need to do is learn is what your attacker might be like."
Renesmee looked up at Stefan, absorbing every word he said. Vladimir stood next to him, an indifferent look on his face. The other vampires had gathered around, wondering how the well the child would fare. Renesmee nodded. "Okay, so what kind of attackers will there be?"
Stefan rolled back his shoulders, looking at the child straight in the eyes. "Many. Most of the members that Aro will send out are physicaly strong. Well, most of them anyway. I don't think you would be able to fight the mental attacks, leave that to your mother and the others."
Renesmee nodded. "So what's the first step?"
Vladimir gave her a relaxed smirk. "First step," he began, and then disapeared, reappearing behind Renesmee and knocking her off her feet. "Never turn your back on your enemy, or let them get behind you."
Renesmee glared up at him, but got up, brushing dirt and leaves off her jeans. Bella glared at them, but they paid no mind to it. Stefan crossed his arms. "Next step," he began. "Is to never, and I mean never, underestimate your opponent."
Renesmee tilted her head. "Why?"
Stefan breathed through his nose. "If you think a bone thin vampire isn't strong, you'll be killed withing seconds. Take Jane for example. She looks weak, but we all know she isn't."
He heared Tanya mumble about Jane being a little bitch, but he ignored her. Vladimir looked at Renesmee with a smirk. "Third step," he began dryly. "Always be one step ahead of your enemy. Watch."
Stefan knew Vladimir was going to attack him and he jumped in the air, Vladimir missing him by an inch. He landed down on Vladimir's back like a monkey and rested his chin on his blond hair. "See?" He asked Renesmee. "I knew he was going to do that, so I moved quickly. If you don't do that, you're bound to die," he turned to the others. "Now who wants to be Renesmee's opponent?" He turned to Edward with a grin. "Edward, why don't you go? Let's see how well she fares against a mind reader."
Edward stepped forward, a calm look on his face. Renesmee nodded at him and he rushed forward. Renesmee braced herself for an attack, eyes closed and arms held up in a defensive cross. Vladimir tisked at her. "Don't close your eyes!" He barked and shoved Renesmee forward. She opened her eyes just in time to see Edward almost get her and she jumped in the air, landing on his back and to the other side.
Edward knew she was going to do that and grabbed her by the ankle, making her land on her somach. He looked at her with concern. "Are you alright, Renesmee?"
Renesmee nodded and got up, looking at Stefan and Vladimir. They nodded and Stefan looked into the crow again. "Siobhan, why don't you come out? I'm sure Renesmee would do fine against you."
Siobhan stepped forward, giving Renesmee a careful look. "I'm sorry Renesmee," she said. "I'll try to be easy on you."
Vladimir snorted at that. "What's the fun in that?"
Renesmee took a stance, watching and waiting for Siobhan to move. The woman did not move for a second, until she jumped and vanished. Renesmee blinked and turned around, only to be knocked to the ground by the Irish woman. Siobhan looked displeased by this, considering that she never hurt children. Renesmee gave a groan and got up, looking annoyed.
"Maybe we've done enough now," Bella piped up nerveously. "Why don't we do more later?"
Stefan shrugged. "Let her try one more before we take a break."
Renesmee nodded and Vladimir turned to Tanya. She nodded and stepped forward, her strawberry blond hair looking lighter in the sun. She cartwheeled and then jumped on Renesmee, though the child had seen that coming. She leaped to the side and jumped on Tanya. Tanya just laughed and patted Renesmee's arm. "Nice job, Renesmee," she said. "You're finally begining to somewhat fight."
Renesmee laughed and ran off towards her parents, the others following them back to the house. Stefan stayed behind with Vladimir, biting his lip lightly in thought. Vladimir turned to him with a lazy smirk. "You're brooding," he said lightly. "What's wrong?"
Stefan closed his eyes. "I don't think they're going hard on her. Tanya let her win, obviously."
"Then what shall we do?" Vladimir asked. "Why don't you take her on?"
"Perhaps I will."
The others came back several minutes later and Renesmee stood in front of Stefan and Vladimir, waiting for them to assign another vampire to her. Stefan just smirked and held up a hand. "I think you all are going to easy on the child," he began smugly. "Are you afraid?"
Tanya looked uneasy. "It's not that, it's well..well..."
"Well what?" Vladimir asked flatly.
"We don't want to hurt her," Carmen finished. "She is half human after all. Her bones can still break."
The others murmured in agreement and Stefan gave Vladimir an annoyed glance, which, the blond returned. Stefan stepped forward, frowning at the child. "If you all feel that way," he began smoothly. "I will take on the child."
Bella didn't look pleased with the idea, but Edward murmured something to her and she relaxed, though still looking uncomfortable with the idea. Renesmee nodded and waited for Stefan. He didn't do anything at first, but then he lept up in the air, jumping and disapearing in the thick jungle trees. He knew Renesmee could not see him and this caused him to smirk. He jumped out of the tree and swiftly onto the child's back, sending her face first to the ground.
She let out a groan at the impact, but quickly got up and glared at him. Stefan looked indifferent and disapeared again, this time though, he could see that Renesmee was ready. He quickly searched for any open vulnerable points and found one. Her stomach. He dashed forward and slammed the child in the stomach, the girl doubling over at the impact. She slumped to the ground, whimpering slightly.
Bella let out an enraged hissed and rushed to Stefan with her teeth bared. Edward held her back, as did Carmen and Rosalie. He said something to her and they both rushed to their child's side. Rosalie glared daggers at him, though he looked unfazed. Alice waltzed up to him, swiftly slapping his face before Vladimir could rush in. Her hand was shaking.
"You could have seriously hurt her!" The pixie like vampire seethed. "What were you thinking!"
Stefan shrugged, feeling Vladimir shift at this side almost protectively. "I did what she asked me to do. I told her, as did Vladimir, that we would not go easy on her."
"That's no excuse!" Esme cried out from over Carlisle's shoulder. "She's just a child! She's still learning!"
Stefan looked at them all coldly. "To the Volturi, she won't look like a child. They've killed tons of them over the centuries. What's to stop them from killing her?"
The others said nothing to that, knowing full well that he was right. Instead, they just shot him dirty looks and walked off, Renesmee in Jacob's arms. Vladimir took his hand, shaking his head. "Those fools," he said. "Those idiotic fools."
Stefan nodded, squezing his partner's hand. "I agree, they are being very stupid."
"We're doing them a favor. The Volturi won't hesitate to kill her. How can they not see that?"
"I don't know, Vladimir, I don't know."
Review!
