Hi everyone!

I'm sorry if I'm late but this was a troubled chapter. Rosalie POV was the worst part to wrote. But I follow Idealskeptic advice and now you could read it.

So enjoy it.

Chapter 10

Rosalie POV

After Royce finishes his story he leaves me alone. Again. It's like he's giving me time to think about that and about his maker.

Who could have been there when I was changed? Carlisle knew what they did to me and he couldn't do something like change them. Someone else had to be there. But who?

Royce didn't give me a physical description so I don't have any hint about this mysterious maker.

Stupid bloodsucker! If only I wasn't tied to this chair I could use some of the tricks Jasper taught me I could beat him until he is a meatball of vampire!

"Ouch!" I yell when something burns my skin.

"Robert will lead the second round. He's a master of burning vampires," Royce whispers in my ear.

When Robert is in front of me I can see he has a torch. A stupid old torch! Like the one you could see on "Indiana Jones" films. And he burns me piece by piece.

I growl and hiss against him without success. Royce holds me still and I can't move.

Stupid bloodsuckers! I hate them! Edward, can you hear me? If you can, help me!

He continues to burn my arms and my legs and, when he moves to my face, I find some strength, I free one of my hand and I push away the torch. But I can't do something more, because I feel a painful sting on my back and, after an inhuman scream, I collapse on the chair and then I feel nothing.

Jasper POV

I lay on the bed with Nessie still in my arms. I never believed that someone could calm me down except Alice but, from when she was born, Renesmee has had the power to do that. And she is the only one who is able to make my headaches go away.

She falls asleep almost immediately and I continue to stroke her hair. I don't know what she is dreaming of but I know that a part of her is worried about me, Rose and Emmett. She is attached to us and, after what happened with the Volturi, she doesn't want any of us hurt and sad or far from her. Now we are all of that at the same time and it breaks her heart.

I focus on the others but I hear only Esme, Carlisle and Alice. The Denalis, Peter and Charlotte are nowhere nearby and Edward and Bella left after the update. Emmett is another story. I know he's still here with us but I don't feel him. I know he feels something but it's like he shut himself down and is trying to protect himself and us from the pain. I can't think about the smiling, funny and lovingEmmett, reduced like that. It's my brother

and I can't see him in these conditions. I have to do something and quickly.

I hope Kate and Garret will arrive soon.

Carlisle POV

When Edward and Bella finally leave for the cottage I kiss Esme and then I check Emmett.

"Is there any improvement?" Alice asks when I finish.

"No, unfortunately." I answer sadly. And then a thought occurs me.

"Alice, why do you ask?" She doesn't know the future?

"Carlisle... I can't see him," She sighs unhappy.

This is a big problem. If Alice can't see anything it means two things. One there are wolves involved or there isn't future for the person in question. And I'm afraid the second is the case.

"Alice, are you sure about that? You can't see a glimpse of Emmett?" I'm worried now.

"There is something but it slips every time. Carlisle, he has no time. We have to do something right now." She is angry and worried.

But if there is a glimpse of Emmett's future there is always hope.

"Alice, there is always hope. And our biggest hope are Kate and Garrett." I try to reassure her.

Alice opens her mouth but she can't say anything because my phone rings.

"Hello?" I answer without see who is calling.

"Carlisle, It's Kate. We have the antidote." She says this dryly.

"Perfect. We'll see you in ten hours." And with that I hang up.

"They're on the way. In ten hours or so we'll save Emmett," I say to Alice.

Finally a good news.

? POV

My plan was perfect. If only Aro wouldn't be so soft toward the Cullens I would already win.

But the match isn't over. I still have an ace up my sleeve.

She is in debt to me. And it's time to pay up.
