A/N:

Hey guys here is chap 8 :)

Please review for me as I have noticed that Im not getting as many reviews as I was in the beginning.

Please give me constructive criticism so that I can make the story better.

I will keep writing if I get reviews :)

The thrumming of my heart increased erratically as my reluctant feet followed Jane. I was desperate to ask Nahuel if he thought that this would truly be the end for us. I fought back the impulse though as I was too scared, that Jane would hear even if my voice was just a whisper. I didn't want to chance her hearing, the fear I was feeling. I wanted to be strong and not let them break me. Nahuel's actions were truly confusing to me. He had directly caused me to be in this situation and yet he had revealed his secret talent in his attempt to protect me. If he truly cared about me why had he taken me from my family? I hated that I was still worried about what they would do to him. I wanted to hate him more than anything.

We reached the huge throne room and I hesitated.

"Would you like me to make you go in there?" Jane said with a wide smile.

"No thanks." I muttered and walked through.

Aro smiled at the three of us.

"My dear little ones, I see that there is much to discuss. Let us start with Nahuel." He sang. "I have been informed that you have been keeping something from us."

Nahuel didn't answer.

"All of a sudden he is speechless." Caius mocked.

"Are we not allowed to have a few private secrets of our own?"

Aro looked back at him, speculation the domination on his face.

"Yes of course Nahuel but something that important, well we like to be aware of such things. I would love for you to join us. We could use a talent like that."

"No thank you, I would like to return to my sisters and Aunt."

"Such a waste Nahuel, you could go further than ever before with us."

"Yes great things like punishing innocent covens."

Aro looked like he had been slapped in the face. There were some grumbles from the guard.

"Have you forgotten that you came to us?" Aro asked raising his eyebrows.

I felt my breath catch as I made sense of the meaning behind Aro's words.

Nahuel had come to them! What was going on here? I stared at their faces in shock.

"Renesmee, did you really think that Nahuel was all innocent in this?" Aro demanded.

I was stung by the insulting edge to his tone. Like I was too naïve to realise that Nahuel had been lying to me.

"No I wasn't thinking that he was completely innocent, but I never knew that he was the one that had started all of this." I had only thought he had just been part of it. I would never have thought that he would have masterminded the whole thing. I felt the traitor tears start their descent down my face. I detested myself for giving them the satisfaction of seeing my emotion breakthrough. Why couldn't I just keep the terrified and betrayed part of me hidden? I hated that Nahuel had taken advantage of the trust I had placed in him and the fact that they had tampered with my memory.

"Nahuel did you really come to them on your own, just to try and get me to come with you?" I asked turning to him.

"Ah look our little guest is all upset." One of the vampires mocked. He had blond hair and he looked huge. I wouldn't want to pick a fight with him but right now I didn't care.

"Just shut up." I screamed at him.

Felix started towards me.

I stood my ground and I never dropped my glare. I was still waiting for Nahuel to answer me.

"It is all true Nessie." Nahuel answered softly, his voice never reaching more than a whisper.

"Do not call me that." I glowered.

Aro interrupted us then.

"Felix, just wait a moment. So Renesmee, now that you know everything. What do we do with you now? You are beautiful and feisty like your mother."

I shivered at his words.

"What are my choices?"

"Well there are two options available to you. One option is you join us and the other option is that your life will end today."

"Why can't you just let me go? Are those my only choices?" I pleaded.

"Letting you go is not an option. You are vulnerability. We have our reputation to protect."

"Some reputation." I muttered.

"You will show some respect, Renesmee." Jane sneered.

I stiffened, waiting for the onslaught of her talent. She was itching to use it against me. I could see her fingers twitching. She was just waiting for the instruction from her beloved masters. I never felt anything but I remained tense waiting for the moment.

"I will not show respect to people who are holding me here against my will." I spat.

"Calm down everyone." Aro said softly "Renesmee you could do really great things with us."

"I want to find my family and be back with them." I glared at him.

There was no way in hell I was going to be a part of their sick power hungry world. I could understand Aro a bit more now. He wanted people, like a person would want a doll to play with. It amused him.

"You want to be with your family, when they haven't even bothered to find you. Face it dear one, they were happy to get rid of you."

That did it and I snapped. I lunged for Aro but of course the other vampires were too fast for me and I was on the ground and the fire was burning me again. I immediately felt the burning stop almost as soon as it started.

"Nahuel, this is quite a remarkable gift that you have been hiding from us." Aro sang as I lay gasping on the floor. I lay completely still letting my heart rate decrease and I let the coolness of the marble floor sooth my burning skin.

"It only manifested itself in the past couple of months." Nahuel answered in a lifeless voice.

"It is an incredible talent and we would be so pleased if you would stay on with us." Aro repeated his offer.

"Yes I am sure you would, as then even more of the vampire world will be helpless against you. I will not be one of your so called slaves."

"Well you weren't so against our world when you wanted something from us."

"I take full responsibility for what I did. Renesmee should not be punished for the poor choices I have made."

"It is not a punishment to belong with us." Aro said abashed.

"Don't you see how our world sees you out there? The day you tried unsuccessfully to find a valid reason to destroy the Cullens, everybody saw you for what you truly are."

"And what are we?"

"You will destroy an innocent family just so that you don't feel threatened. You abuse your power."

"I am sorry that you think so poorly of us."

"Why don't you just be honest in your intentions? You look like fools trying to hide behind a white flag when you are nothing like that."

Aro was about to answer when the whole room fell silent. After a moment he spoke.

"Felix, Demetri it seems we have some visitors, please greet them and show them in here. It seems as if this is turning into an unexpected party. "

There was the tiniest tightening of Aro's eyes. He was normally so composed and I wondered if these sudden visitors were the cause. There was a hope which was trying to overwhelm me but I tried to control it for fear that if it wasn't who I thought it was that I would break completely. Aro stared at the door in anticipation and I looked down at the floor. I could see in the corner of my eye that Nahuel was trying to get my attention but I was too angry to respond. The way I was feeling right now, I would not have control over the words that would come out of my mouth. Felix and Demetri were back quickly followed by five people. I recognised three of them from my dreams. My mouth hung open as I stared at their faces. The two others who were with them, I couldn't place where I knew them from or if I had even met them before. I only knew the other three from the images that had haunted me and I had always believed that they meant something to me. Their faces all wore the same blank expression until the one with the long hair locked eyes on me. Her face was a torrent of emotion.

"Renesmee." She gasped and walked started towards me. My eyes widened as I tried to really grasp the fact that they were really here and that I wasn't just having a dream again. Maybe they had drugged me and I was asleep in that grey room. I stayed rooted to the spot I was standing in.

"She doesn't remember us." The man with the reddish brown hair murmured. I realised with shock that I had the same hair as him. It was the exact same colour.

"What have you done to her?" She snarled.

The sound was menacing. Her gaze was directed at Aro.

"They gave me some drug which tampered with my memory." I answered before Aro could as I finally found my voice. She immediately turned to me.

"Oh my poor, Nessie." She whispered and was at my side in one of those bizarre vampire movements. I was still getting used to how fast they were. The sobs wracked through my body as her arms wrapped around me for the first time, since I had woken up all disorientated, I felt safe.

"Shhh, it is going to be alright.' She murmured as she carried me in her arms to where the other four stood.

"How dare you take our daughter like that, are you common criminals now? Everyone is not some chess piece that you can play with." She spat. I could feel her body trembling with rage.

No one answered her.

"Nahuel you did this?"

"Yes Edward, I did. It was me who came to the Volturi and asked them for their help and it has been killing me ever since." He answered defeated. He obviously thought there was no point in trying to lie anymore.

"It's been killing you; we have been going out of our minds, since Nessie disappeared. Give me one reason why I shouldn't tear you apart right now?" Edward answered. There was a certain power that I could sense in him. I had a feeling that he could take care of himself.

"I wouldn't blame you if you did." Nahuel said sadly.

"Why would you bring her right to the Volturi when you helped save her the last time?"

"Love makes us do strange things sometimes Edward, don't you remember when you came begging us to end your life when you thought Bella was gone." Aro interrupted.

"Yes I will never forget that time but that doesn't excuse it."

"So I see you have bought a dog along, they are fascinating."

I wondered what Aro meant by saying that they had bought a dog with them. I didn't see any around.

"Well he is part of the family." Bella answered.

"I see that but where is the rest of your family? Did you really think that the five of you could come in here and walk out with Renesmee? Eleazar you were forbidden to ever speak of this place and now we will have to decide what the consequences will be." Aro said as he stared at the man with dark blonde hair, he also seemed quite strong and he had golden eyes.

"Aro, do with me what you will but let this innocent family go. You continue to try and destroy them when they want nothing more than to live in peace. They remain inconspicuous and obey the laws and yet your try feebly to find valid reasons for your true motive."

"Ahhh Eleazar, some powerful words but that is not the issue being debated here."

"What issue then? The fact that you took away their daughter? That you used Nahuel's love as an excuse to hurt this family in the worst way possible?"

"Enough, none of you are walking out of here. So fight us if you will but you will lose. Our reputation is something that we will do anything to protect. You are outnumbered."

"No they are not." A young girl's voice shouted and she was followed in by five other vampires with golden eyes.
