The second the Denali Coven, Nahuel's coven and my family walked into the Cullen house, Jacob pulled me into a hug. I gave him a kiss on the lips. Now wasn't the time to discuss the whole 'you tried to kill me before you were forced to love me'. I couldn't help but not be mad at him when he was hugging me. Another curse/gift of imprinting…
"Hey." I told him happily as I pulled away, smiling for the first time since we learned of the Volturi Hybrids coming after us.
"Hey, Ness!" He returned the reply and my smile with a huge grin. Everyone else came in behind us. Carlisle was talking to dad.
"I called the Egyptian coven, but only Benjamin and Tia agreed to help. Amun is still weary of a battle." Carlisle was saying. I smiled a little again. I remembered Benjamin from last time he came. I was very young then, but I remembered how he entertained me with his powers over the elements.
"They should be here tomorrow."
They did arrive the next morning. I ran downstairs to greet the two of them. Benjamin hugged me, a wide grin on his face.
"Renesmee, how you've grown! But you still have a knack for getting in trouble, don't you?" He asked teasingly.
"Oh, ha, ha." I said sarcastically.
"You must be Benjamin." Hal said, coming up behind me. They shook hands.
"You're the new vampire Carlisle mentioned, no doubt. Pleasure to meet you." Benjamin told him. Hal nodded and then nudged my arm. "
But don't tease her too much. That's kind of my job." I shoved his arm and he stumbled back dramatically, though I knew I didn't actually cause him to loose his balance. He grinned at me.
"I think that I'll go find the Blonde one." He told me, referring to Kylie. He hurried off and I turned back to Benjamin again.
"Thank you so much for coming to help us with the Volturi… again. We really owe you now." I told him, folding my arms across my chest.
"Hardly. We are family, aren't we?"
"Of course we are. It's nice to see you again, Benjamin." Just then Kylie and Valentine ran up to meet him. I looked around and saw Tia talking to my mom and Tanya. I hurried over. Tia grinned and hugged me.
"Hello, Renesmee." She said into my hair. We pulled away.
"It's nice to see you again." I told her.
"And you as well." The rest of that day we spent happily together, despite the upcoming battle. Benjamin showed Kylie and Valentine his powers over the elements and they were like little kids with a new toy. Tia talked to the rest of us, having gotten more talkative and outspoken since last time we saw her. Carlisle told us he'd called the Irish Coven (Siobhan, Liam and Maggie), the Amazon Coven (Zafrina, Kachiri and Senna), Romanian Coven (Stefan and Vladamir), Mary, Randall and even Alistar. Jasper said he'd managed to get a hold of Peter and Charlotte. Nahuel called in his Aunt, who only agreed to help when she realized she couldn't talk Nahuel out of fighting with us. Jacob and the pack all agreed to fight. And so our army was raised…
