Words cannot express how much I love you guys for reading and reviewing this even though it has flaws. It is exactly word for word as I wrote it (by hand) over 2 years ago. I own nothing only the storyline and as always Sunrise belongs to Charley.
"What are you going to tell Charlie?" whispered Esme, kissing her sons cheek he didn't answer.
Everyone was sat, silently encased in their own thoughts. Alice sat on the floor between Jaspers legs her head on his lap, Rose and Emmett had just put Henry to bed they were looking out of the large windows holding one another. Carlisle and Esme sat with their heads together.
Edward was sat in the far corner at the piano playing her lullaby, he stopped and slammed the lid down and turned to Alice,
"Can't you see anything?" he snapped.
"No, not unless, she's still..." she stopped and looked at Jasper who stroked her face.
"I can't just sit here, she walked into the Volturi for me in Italy I'm not going to let a pack of dogs stop me if there is still hope." he hissed.
"I can't let you cross the line Edward, think of your family think of Renesmee she may have already lost Bella, she can't lose you too." sighed Carlisle.
Edward stood and faced his family, "Ninety years, ninety years I have waited for her Carlisle, watched whilst you got Esme, the Rose got Emmett and then Alice and Jasper I'm not giving up on her I can't." he sighed.
Just then something caught Emmett's attention and Edward looked towards the door, Emmett opened the door and something caught his eye on the porch he picked it up, Edward was behind him in seconds and read his thoughts.
"Give it to me Emmett." he grimaced.
Emmett looked at his brother and then at his right hand balled into a tight fist.
"Emmett?" he hissed, there was no space between them even though Emmett towered above his brother Edward didn't move.
"Edward you really don't want it." he sighed.
"Emmett I will rip your hand off if I have to." he spat, Rosalie hissed but he ignored her.
Jasper put his hands on Edwards's arms holding them in place
"Sorry, Jazz but back off, this is between me and Emmett" he hissed, Jasper looked at Emmett, he nodded so Jasper backed away
There was a standoff neither brother moved, Esme gasped and turned her head towards Carlisle she hated seeing them fight like this.
"Please Carlisle, do something, he will be so upset if someone gets hurt" she sighed
"Emmett" Carlisle said softly and Emmett opened his hand, inside his fist was the remains of Bella's bracelet, but one of the charms was missing, he snatched it from his hand and threw it across the room, it hit a vase shattering crystal everywhere.
"Sorry mom" he sighed
"No bother" she smiled bending to pick up the bracelet
"The heart charm" she cried, "Its gone" she looked at Carlisle.
"He has her!?" spat Rosalie
"That mongrel has taken our sister" She stood and walked over to Edward.
"Edward, we will get her back if it's the last thing any of us ever do" she smiled and kissed his forehead he exhaled and left the room.
"Its ok he's gone up to see Renesmee" smiled Alice, "I'll look out for him"
"I need to hunt" spat Bella
"No you don't, your fine just sit there" He tried to push her onto the floor of the cabin, but she didn't move.
"Just sit down Bells" he spat
She sat down and glared at him, "How are you going to keep me here Jake I'm twice as strong as you" she hissed "How's the jaw by the way" she smirked
He rubbed it absentmindedly," If you don't want to see your family destroyed then you will stay" he snapped, her eyes narrowed
"YOU. STAY!" he pronounced each word slowly, "One word and maybe Charlie could have an accident out hunting who knows what could happen" he had a smug look on his face.
"You wouldn't" she stood and closed in on him,
"Yes I would , I told you I would have one of you and at least looking at you I can't see the leech" he pushed her back down and she stood her ground once more , " Sit leech" he bellowed and that caught her off guard and she landed onto the floor she hissed,
"My name is Isabella Cullen, dog and that leech you are referring to is going to rip you apart" she hissed
"Bring it on, he can come here and collect you, or isn't the fortune teller working anymore, oh hell I forgot she can't see you when I'm around well that's a bit of luck"
"Don't call me dog," he bellowed and went to slap her across the face but she was too fast for him she grabbed his wrist and to squeeze there was a crack and he pulled his arm away
"S'okay I'll heal" he said shaking his wrist
"Why Jake?" she tried to sound soft
"Don't give me that tone of voice Bella, you know why, he has everything I want and I'm not waiting anymore" he began packing up and down the cabin
"Do you need to hunt too?" she asked
"I don't hunt I just eat" he snapped" but yes I'm starving"
"Then go grab something I won't go, I wouldn't put my family at risk" she said emphasising on the I part.
"I'm fine I can control my hunger" he spat
"Well I can't and I need to hunt Jake, my throat is burning, I need fresh blood" she smiled knowing how it would repulse him
"Tough" and he walked out of the cabin.
"Oh and by the way I'm right outside so no point in trying to run" he shouted through his door
"Jake! I need to feed" she shouted the thirst was unbearable,
"Really Jacob you don't want to be around me if I haven't fed, I'm still la newborn, and you saw what they were like in the clearing I'll lose control" she hissed
"Isn't gonna happen" he shouted back
"Jake I swear I will lose it" she shouted
"Like I haven't already seen that" he laughed
"Jake you mongrel, let me go" she growled
"Temper, temper" he jibed and then she heard his snores.
She sat back and began to hum her lullaby to herself,
"Do you mind that's annoying" he mumbled so she hummed it louder...
Edward was sat in his usual place at the piano, he hadn't actually played it since the clearing, and Henry walked over to him and pointed at the keys smiling,
"Not now Henry" he sighed, but Henry continued to point at the keys grunting,
"Rose will you shut him up please" he hissed
"He wants you to play" she smiled
"Well I don't want to okay" he snapped the piano lid down and henry pushed it back up again
"Henry, stop it" he sapped
"He wants you to play her lullaby" smiled Alice
"How does he know its Bellas lullaby" he asked looking puzzled
"I'm not sure but he keeps seeing her humming it" Alice sat up and walked to Henry
"You can hear her cant you" she smiled; Henry looked worried and ran to Emmett.
"It's okay, you can show them what you heard" he smiled placing him in front of Edward.
Who began to play the lullaby, Henry shrieked in glee and jumped up and down pointing to the keys.
"He must be a tracker of some sort, but he tracks through sound and emotions" Edward stood and took Henry by the arm and sat him onto the sofa
"Now Henry try and think really hard, can you see her" he asked
"She's somewhere dark" Edward smiled
"Carlisle she's still alive, he hasn't killed her" he shouted.
Henry had gone quiet again then he let out a snarl far too loud for his stature and ran outside,
They followed and Edward hissed,
"Stupid mutt" he spat
"What's the matter" asked Jasper
"He won't let her hunt she's thirsty, that's what's the matter with Henry the thirst is so painful" he sighed
"It seems whatever is dominating Bella's thoughts and feelings, Henry picks up" mused Carlisle
"He has no idea what he is doing" snapped Jasper shaking his head
"How long can she fight it, before we lose her..." he cut off
"With any other newborn they would have been far gone by now, a slave to the thirst, but she has so much control I have no idea but she won't be able to hold on for long" jasper sighed
"Oh no" winced Alice and Edward shook his head
"Charlie is on his way" he whispered
"Edward take Nessie home to the cottage and we'll come up with an excuse" Esme suggested
"Ok" he smiled it would be nice to spend time alone with her.
He carried her home and she fell asleep in his arms, he placed her on the white bed and she stirred a little and mumbled in her sleep. Edward lay next to her on his side and watched her sleep, she looked so much like Bella when she slept, and a noise distracted him,
"Come in Seth" he whispered,
"Hi erm how are you holding up" asked Seth leaning on the door frame
"Been better, any news" he replied not taking his eyes off of renesmee
"Well I think I may have a plan" he sat in a chair closer to the bed, Edward sighed Seth's plan was very dangerous
"That will be dangerous for you Seth" he sighed
"Have you a better idea" he snapped
"But even if you could get her back to the cave it's over the line"
"No its not it's on the line" he assured Edward
"When?"
"Well I have to convince Jake first, I'm not his favourite person at the moment am I" he shrugged
Renesmee wriggled and turned over she was sucking her thumb, something she had done since her ordeal.
"We have to do this for her" he sighed and stroked her curls from her face
Edward closed his eyes and then pinched his nose, when he opened them Seth was grinning,
"What?"
Then Edward smiled
"Excellent , let's get him nervous enough so that he will want to move her , let's get him real scared we are closing in on him , then offer the cave".
So Seth and Edward talked over the plan of action whilst renesmee slept.
"Jacob gets your furry arse in here" Bella spat, she felt ill sick almost with the thirst and yet a strange sort of fire burned through her veins she felt strong, indestructible...out of control...
"Jacob Black!" she screamed, he opened the door
"Yes Bella" he said lightly, leaning against the door frame,
"I need to feed" she hissed clawing at the cabin floor
"Not gonna happen I've told you, there's some food on the table when u want it " he smiled
"You have no idea, I have no idea what is going to happen if you don't let me hunt" she spat
"Wow cool creepy eyes Bella" he snorted and closed the door behind him
"I hate you Jacob black!" she screamed...
Dammit" she screamed, she could smell all the scents of the forest through the crack in the cabin walls, now and then small creatures passed by, this was driving her insane all knowledge of time and existence were fading she could feel it, animal instincts taking over every fibre of her body, images of Riley and Bree shot though her head, she screamed again the pain was unbearable.
Would it be too late if Edward ever found her, would Jasper be able to tame her or was she destined for Italy or worse still another visit from Alec and Jane, she would welcome that visit now as long as the pain stopped then she saw Jane's smug face finally being able to floor the indestructible Bella and she shook her head.
Renesmee awoke and was happy to see Seth as he carried her on his back up to the house, they walked into the living room and Alice ran to greet them,
"That's a fantastic idea" she smiled, Edward frowned then laughed at everyone else's puzzled looks
"Ok Alice is you going to fill them in or can I" he smiled
"Be my guest" and she stuck her tongue out at him and sat back down next to Jasper
"Ok Seth has come up with a plan to get Bella out" he started, he then looked at Seth to continue he beamed and walked in front of the family,
"ok the cave I hid Bella in at first is on the treaty line , so its neutral , I sat we make Jacob so nervous that he thinks you know where he is and you have a plan to rescue her that when I suggest the cave he goes for it , the rest is up to you guys then" he smiled
"How" asked Carlisle
"Edward" Seth gestured,
"We are going to do patrols every night and day , up and down the line , Seth has shown me a good place which is almost in a direct line to the cabin" he continues,
"If you do it long enough, he we become nervous and then I can suggest a new hiding place, the cave" Seth grinned feeling very proud of himself
"Excellent, when do we start" Emmett jumped up.
"How long will it take though" sighed Esme
"It's going to take a while that's the only problem a week maybe two" replied Seth seeing the flaw in his plan, Edward slapped him on the back and shook his head,
"Seth it's a plan, a good one" he whispered
"If that dog...erm sorry Seth, if Jacob continues to deny Bella's needs she is going to be very dangerous and vulnerable" hissed Jasper
"That's were you come in...You need to be the only person who deals with her whilst in the clearing, I can have my reunion when she's safe" he smiled at his brother.
"It's going to be hard Edward and dangerous, she might not be...no. she won't be YOUR Bella for a while, and I will have to restrain her by any means possible" he sighed
"Jasper, I will not question your actions, whatever it takes I know you will do the best for her" he patted his brother on the shoulder
"Let's get going then" shouted Emmett jumping up and down and sparing with an invisible punch bag
"How can we help" asked Rose
"You will patrol too, that way it looks organised we will all help to get her home" smiled Carlisle
"We have weather on our side too, the days are shorter and overcast and he will not be expecting a patrol during the day" Seth smiled
"Ok, so me, Jasper and Emmett take a few hours and then Carlisle and Esme then Alice and Rose can take over we need to make sure we don't draw attention to ourselves so plan your patrol wisely" Edward exhaled, he was going to see his Bella again and not matter how long it took they would be a family again.
"Alice" whispered Renesmee
"Yes" she smiled
"Will you brush my hair?"
"Of course sweetie, but can't you do it yourself I'm a little busy," she replied
"Yes I can but I love it when mummy brushes it" she sighed and turned to walk away, Alice swooped her off her feet and gave her a big hug,
"I'm sorry sweetie of course I'll brush your hair" and she kissed her cheek, she began to slowly brush her hair, the curls sprung back as the bristles left them,
"Alice" her voice was sweet, almost song like
"Yes Renesmee"
"Are you going to be my new mummy",
Alice looked into her deep chocolate brown eyes, she saw the pain and she almost forgot it wasn't Bellas eyes she was looking into on the journey to Italy.
"NO Nessie, you have a mummy and a daddy who love you very much" she kissed her hair,
"Is mummy coming back?"
"Yes sweetheart, I promise you, will have your mummy back soon", Edward cleared his throat behind her,
"You shouldn't have promised her" he whispers
"Edward, when I first saw Bella I knew you were going to be together, we have to hold onto that" she whispered
The day was filled with planning and chatting and trying to be normal around Renesmee , when Dusk came the atmosphere in the house changed it became almost military, Edward kissed his daughter goodnight and left with Emmett and Jasper, they took with them a football and an ice box the illusion of a men's night out , just in case.
They arrived at the clearing and dumped the items on the floor,
"Here" Edward whispered and he pointed to a dense part of the forest,
They walked up and down the line , just close enough so he would pick up their scents , then they would stop as if talking and looking in the direction of the cabin.
This continued for a few hours, sometimes they picked up the ball and threw it around a little, just to continue the illusion.
The one thing they hadn't counted on was everything Jacob could smell and hear , so could Bella , she couldn't find within herself any reason why they all sounded so happy in the clearing , she could smell Edwards scent and her throat scorched, what was he doing , had he forgotten about her already she hissed under her breath.
"Ah yes you can hear them too, cant you, can you hear your beloved Edward and the leeches he calls brothers having fun" came a laugh from outside the cabin door,
"How cruel, to be so near yet so far, there just walking around out there" he jibed.
"Shut up!" she growled, the door opened and he stood filling the doorway,
"Wow nice purple eye makeup Bells" he laughed
She continued to claw her way at the floor her hands were black and muddy, she had gone straight through the floor,
A few hours later the second patrol arrived, this one looked a little more intimidating, Carlisle and Esme didn't need an illusion nobody would be walking around at this time, they studied the forest, and stood for long periods of time looking in the cabins direction.
This patrol did make Jacob feel uneasy, he was quiet for a while, Bella hissed as she smelled their scent, surely not Esme and Carlisle too, wait their must be and explanation but she could no longer rationalise anything.
"Well they're all out tonight, the fortune teller and Blondie are here now, oh wait you can smell them cant you" he laughed
"I hate you" she hissed
"You'll thank me one day" he smiles
"You know Jacob I will tear you in two, never mind Edward" and she lunged at the doorway , hair flew everywhere and there were a number of cracks and crunches and guffaws but eventually he had her pinned against the wall, he laughed.
Although she was stronger than him like the newborns in the meadow she was predictable and easy to fight.
"That's what I like to see a woman fighting for her. Well vamp... he likes you fighting his battles doesnt he"
"Do you really want to know, what he likes, what he does enjoy me doing for him" she hissed with a smug grin
He scowled and she laughed manically, he turned and slammed the door.
"Are you sure you don't want to know , I could tell you what I like him to do too , so you don't disappoint me , you know" she sighed and tried to imagine their first night after her change , the passion, the need, the lust... then it faded to blood lust and she let out an ear piercing scream.
Jacob shuddered and turned, Seth was stood in front of him,
"What do you want" he hissed
"They're making plans to cross the line, all of them in one force" Seth tried to sound casual
"And you know this how?" he asked his eyes narrowing
"Cos I gave them the idea" he smiled
"How do I know you aren't working with them" he spat
"Because unlike some I don't turn my back on my people Jake, I'm doing this for you, I want it over with"
Bella could hear them arguing outside, she couldn't believe Seth would betray Edward like this,
She closed her eyes and tried to think of his features, "Concentrate" she whispered to herself,
his face his square jaw , his eyes ,she screwed her eyes up tight she had to keep his face in her head, his marble body his crooked smile , then a vision of him playing around with Emmett and jasper for earlier in the evening popped in and she clawed her face.
Henry jumped from Rosalie's knee and ran to Edward, he places his hands on his face smoothing his lips and stroking his eyes,
"Hey" Edward shouted as he clasped hold of Henrys hands ready to strike Edwards face. Emmett picked him up and took him outside
"What the hell was that" he hissed
"It Bella, she was imagining your features I saw it in his head didn't you" asked Alice
"Yes but I mean he went to hit me?"
"Her thirst has taken over her she can't rationalise anything now, she is a true newborn in every sense of the word" exhaled Jasper
Alice walked outside and Edward followed,
"Alice please do you see anything"
"No she's still too close to them" she sighed
"I can hear the packs thoughts" whispered Edward walking towards the edge of the lawn "They're restless, there is talk of mutiny" he sighed
"They are tired of his games, yet they won't interfere the Alpha is law and they cannot undermine him." sighed Carlisle
There was a rustle in the trees and Emmett hissed, Edward held up his hand,
"It's okay it's Seth" he smiled
Seth walked out into the early morning light, "Okay I've started to regain some trust"
"How long" asked Carlisle
"Maybe another night or two, he is so protective of her. Sorry Edward" he sighed
"She's been gone too long already, it's driving me insane" he turned and walked into the house, Alice caught him by his shoulder,
"We all feel your pain Edward, truly we do", he sighed and continued inside.
"Oh Edward I forgot" shouted Seth, "She not taking it lying down, she's already broken his wrist and a few ribs, not to mention when I was there she yelled at him every two minutes" he laughed,
Edward didn't turn round he just smiled to himself "That's my Bella" he whispered.
The next day was an unusually sunny one for Forks at this time of year so no patrols could be sent out, which agitated Edward even more, so he kept his distance in his room.
Rosalie continued the day's lessons for Henry and Renesmee it kept her hands busy,
"Nessie, put your workbook on the table sweetie you can't work like that" she smiled
Renesmee ignored her,
"Renesmee" she said again placing her fingers on top of her book, Renesmee hissed,
"Renesmee how dare you!" she shouted
"Renesmee carlie Cullen, apologise this instant" scorned Carlisle
"No" she spat in a low whisper
"Nessie" he said softly but with authority" apologise please"
"I said NO! leave me alone" she screamed and ran from the table and upstairs, she passed Edward who was on his way down,
"What's going on, why Renesmee hates everyone" he asked
"I don't know what happened she just exploded she wouldn't put her book on the table when I asked" said Rose pointing to the book on the floor, she bent down to pick it up and a tattered book fell from inside, Edward didn't need to see the title, he knew what it was he had seen its broken spine on Charlie's kitchen table all too often.
"Oh Edward I'm sorry I didn't know" she sighed, handing him the book, he turned it over and over in his hands as if it were a lost treasure , then he lifted it to his nose and inhaled her sweet scent , he said nothing and ran upstairs
"Nessie" he said sitting softly as he entered the room , she was sat in the middle of the golden bed her arms clutching her knees to her chest, he exhaled she looked so much like Bella.
Silver beads of tears swelled down her face.
"I'm sorry daddy" and she flew into his arm, he held her while she cried, he remembered the time he held her mother close as she cried over Jacob, a low hiss built in his chest and Renesmee looked up, same puffy eyes, and same red marked cheeks.
"I'm sorry I took mummies book and was terribly rude to Rose and grandfather" she sobbed "I just miss her so much"
"I miss her too, we all do" they lay for a while till she sat up and wiped her eyes.
"I should go and apologise to Rosalie and grandfather" she whispered and with that she ran out of the room.
She stood on the bottom step, not knowing what to say,
"Rosalie" she whispered
Rose turned and smiled, Nessie ran into her arms "I'm sorry" she whispered,
"Sweetheart you should have said you wanted to read the book, would you like to read it now?" asked Rose
"No its fine daddy said he would read it to me at bedtime" she smiled.
"Where's grandfather"
"In his study" smiled Rose putting her back down
"Oh ok", she had never been inside her grandfather's study before, Esme always said he did important work in there, she tapped lightly on the large oak door,
"Come in" said a gentle voice.
She opened the door slowly and peeked round it, it was huge lined with books and at the far end a big mahogany desk, where Carlisle sat reading black leather bound book.
She cleared her throat, and moved slowly round the door until she was inside, he looked up and smiled at his beautiful granddaughter stood as still as a statue against the door , he laughed and she ran and jumped onto his lap,
"I'm sorry" she whispered in his ear,
"That's okay Renesmee, we all miss mummy very much" he smiled
"You have more books than me she smiled scanning his walls"
"Thank you , you can borrow them when you get a little older" he smiled and sat her on his large leather chair , she could just see over the top of the desk and it made her giggle, there was a knock at the door, he looked at Nessie and smiled
"Enter" she shouted stifling a giggle,
Jasper walked into the room looking slightly confused, he saw two chocolate brown eyes peering at him over Carlisle's desk, he burst out laughing and she pouted at him, so he straightened his face.
"Renesmee I'll take it from here you go continue with your lessons please, I need to speak with Jasper" she jumped down and threw Jasper a high five, as she left the room she turned, "Grandfather" she smiled,
"Yes renesmee"
"I love you" and with that she disappeared
"Yes Jasper what can I do for you" Smiled Carlisle sitting back in his chair
"Its Edward I'm really worried about him"
"We all are Jasper ... once we have Bella safely home..."
"That's the thing" Jasper interrupted Carlisle," he wants me to take charge of Bella when we find her, I'm afraid he might not like the way I handle her" he sighed
"How bad will she be Jasper?"
"Bad, like the newborns we have seen before"
"He will support you I'm sure, he will just be glad to have her home" Carlisle smiled,
Jasper was still thinking of his conversation when he arrived back down stairs, Edward looked at him and frowned then exhaled, he stood and placed his hand on Jaspers shoulder "I trust you" he whispered.
Evening came and patrols started, Seth thought it was a good idea to send Carlisle and Esme out first this time as it unnerved Jacob.
Jacob watched them from a distance , watching them plan her rescue , Edward, Emmett and Jasper where next , they practised combat and fighting methods , Seth was to be with Jacob when this happened to plant the seed of unease even further,
"See I told you they were planning something, I'm not even allowed in the house now they sit with heads together all the time, they can talk so fast" he hissed
"Ok I believe you, what are they planning tell me everything you know" he spat
Seth went into great details of their plan up to date, which was doing what and from where,
"Shit, I can't take her any further into the res" he began to pace
"I have a cave I use when I want to hide from Leah, the leech (he bit his tongue, he hated the word) Alice won't be able to see her being moved" he tried to sound smug.
"I'll take her if you want me to Jake"
"No! You will lead me I'm not letting her out of my sight" , he opened the door and Bella was crouched in the corner of the cabin ready to attack,
"Easy tiger" he laughed "Just remember, you run, you will have to keep Nessie and your leech family so close to you for ever" he hissed
She nodded, Seth appeared at the door, she saw red she flew at him and Jacob caught her in mid-air throwing her back onto the floor.
"Stay there" he bellowed, Seth ran from the cabin he felt physically sick, he had never seen anything like it even Riley hadn't look that bad.
"Cute, isn't she" came a voice behind him.
"Edward come look at this" shouted Esme,
Henry was sat at the table it was covered in torn pieces of paper coloured in red; he was scribbling paper with red crayon and then ripping them up.
"Edward I'm sorry" Carlisle muttered "Jasper thinks it's Bella, she's lost control" he sighed
"No, no you don't know that" he shouted pleading with Carlisle
"Edward, look at the pictures dude she going to kill us" Emmett exhaled
Edwards eyes spun round till they found Jasper, "You can help her cant you" he pleaded
"I can try" he sighed
Seth walked quite a few paces in front of Jacob and Bella she hissed at him as they trudged through the trees till they reached the cave,
"Perfect" laughed Jacob pushing her into the cave,
"Thanks l'il bro" he smacked Seth on the back,
Seth made his excuse to leave and ran to the Cullen's,
Edward was already on the porch waiting for him,
"She's there" he whispered, but Edward saw his thoughts, he saw Bella hissing and growling like a wild animal,
"She doesn't recognise the cave, she doesn't recognise anything" hissed Edward
"Please save her" he whispered looking around at his family...
