Renesmees P.O.V.
I told my family what had happened and they said it was just a dream and that I shouldn't worry about it. The problem was, I couldn't. It brought back memories of my first encounter with the Volturi, thinking about it was enough to make my flesh crawl. Millions of conclusions were jumping in my head, what if the volturi came back for me? What if my family had to stand against them again? ' No Renesmee, don't think like that' I had to keep telling myself and that the dream meant nothing.
I heard a knock at my bedroom door and my mother poked her head in
"Can I come in?"
"Of course mom"
She walked towards me with such pose. My mother was the kind of flawless I wish I could be. She sat by me and gently pressed her hands just under my eyes.
"When is the last time you've been hunting?"
" Ummm a couple of weeks" I mumbled
" Renesmee Carlie Cullen, you know it's not safe for you to go that long without blood" she lectured
" I know, I just haven't gotten around to it"
"Well we need to take care of that" She said patting my nose lightly with each word
I was staring off into space when I noticed she was looking at me. Neither confusion nor worry was in her expression. I had never seen her look at me the way she was, almost like she was saying something to me……like she was saying goodbye. I had never really seen mom get upset or worried, but I've also never given her anything to worry about. Her eyes held fear, it was so unrecognizable to me because I had never seen her afraid. What in the world could my mother possibly fear?
" Still thinking about that dream?" She asked breaking the silence
"Umm n-not really"
"Good, because I would never let anyone hurt you, you know that right?"
"I know mom" I flashed her grin of reassurance
"Ok, be ready in ten minutes so we can go hunting" she didn't smile back. My mom always smiled back at me when I tried to hide my feelings, which I knew she knew that's what I was doing. Something is wrong.
We went hunting just me and mom for the first time in a long time. It surprised me that we went a little further than we usually go to hunt. I must have been a lot thirstier than I thought because I drained two deer and an Elk. It had been nearly two hours since we left home…she was stalling. I wanted to know why.
"Mom?" I hesitated a bit, fearing the answer to my question
"Is there something wrong? Something that you're keeping from me?"
She sighed. I could only stand there waiting, waiting for my worst fears to become real. Her arms quickly found my body and she held me tight. My hands stayed at my side, this felt like goodbye. For the first time mom was shaking, she was literally shaking with sadness.
"Renesmee, we love you" I knew when she said we she just didn't mean her and Edward, she meant everyone.
I couldn't respond so I just nodded
" We're sending you away"
"WHAT?" I spat, pushing away from her
"You're sending me away, all by myself? Why?"
Moms' eyebrows pulled together into the most heartbreaking frown
"You won't be alone, you'll be with Jacob" she whimpered
"Why just me and Jacob?" my heart wasn't breaking, it was broken
"The Volturi…….it's safer…….you're not safe here, the Volturi are coming after you" She barely managed to say
"No" I whispered. My brain wouldn't allow me to say anything else. 'Why me? Why now when me and Jacob are finally together? Just why?'
"They still think you're a threat to our existence" she said
"This time it won't be a discussion"
"How long?" I needed to know. How much longer do I have with the people I love?
"You leave in a couple of hours, Alice is packing your things as we speak"
"Mom" I cried as I buried my face in her shoulder. She stroked my hair trying to tell me everything would be ok but it was more like she was trying to convince herself.
"I love you more than I could ever promise" She said with a tone that was more angry than sad
I wanted nothing more than for the car ride home to last forever. I held moms hand tightly the whole way home. I was unable to cry anymore, the pain that lodge itself into my heart wouldn't allow me to. My heart had been hollowed out and all that remained was its outer shell. I didn't want to leave, I didn't want to run while my family stayed to be slaughtered. I'd willingly give my life for theirs our die with them. We pulled into the driveway sooner than I wanted to. I knew that goodbye wasn't going to be easy, how could it be? Or why should it be? I felt dead already.
"Jacob will be here any minute so you should go get your stuff " Mom murmured
I nodded slowly, trying to delay getting out of the car and letting go of her hand.
"Don't be afraid angel, we are not going to let them get you" she promised
"It's not me I'm scared for" I said sharply. I was surprised at how strong my voice was considering the situation
"Go" she commanded. I got out of the car clutching my heart, or at least where it would be if It wasn't shattered. The next thing I heard was the sound of the car horn. I Looked back and saw my mom's head on the steering wheel and pieces of glass from where the windshield shattered, I was not the only one heartbroken. The horn was ringing in my ears as I shut the front door, at that point I was completely consumed by fear.
