Chapter 10-
Renervate!
I opened my eyes. Looking around me, I saw Lupin standing to my left side, and Edward standing on my right. They both had very solemn expressions.
Lupin must have brought me back to consciousness. I had faintly heard the spell.
I tried to rack my brains, struggling to remember what happened before I was hit with the spell.
Renesme in a corner. Greyback pointed his wand at me, and then…
Nothing.
Where was Renesme?
"Are you all right?" Lupin asked.
I shook my head yes. I faced Edward.
Edward had not said one word. He couldn't look at me.
"Where is Renesme?" I said aloud this time. I looked to Edward for answers.
"Bella… I'm sorry." Lupin started, but before I could listen to another word, I stood up, filled with rage. I felt anger… so much anger towards Greyback, for taking my daughter away from me. They had already caused Harry and me enough pain, and now this!
It was an anger I had never felt before. My breathing became more rapid, my fists began to clench, and I bared my teeth. And then I heard a terrible sobbing noise, not realizing it was me until Edward was embracing me in a hug. He was not only trying to comfort me, but also comfort himself. Renesme was his daughter too, and I knew how terrible he felt at the moment.
I also knew that our vampire speed had failed us. He was long gone; he would have apparated to England by now, and who knows where he would take her, or what he would do with her…
No one said a word. No one needed to. Even when Carlisle and Esme entered the shattered and broken hallway, the now revived Jasper and Emmett and Alice quietly arrived, and finally Rosalie, looking grave; no one said a word. Edward's and my broken sobs spoke for all of us. We loved her and we had failed to keep her safe.
Finally, all became silent. I searched Edward's golden eyes, and he searched mine. We knew what we had to do.
We would find Renesme. We would bring her home. And we would do it together.
Lupin was the first one to speak.
"I think it's time we visit the burrow."
