Jacob lead us to a part of the forest about 100 feet from the clearing. He whimpered, and Edward translated.
"Jacob says that he came by here to see if there were any other scents. He says that there was one, a vampire smell, but he couldn't identify it. We will try to identify the scent. You won't know, but you can learn." Edward bent down on his hands and knees to inhale the ground. I copied him, and the scent was unfamiliar to my nose.
"Hmm...That's strange. It's a human scent-maybe Gianna's." I desperately ranked my brain to remember any Gianna that I'd ever known. Edward turned to me.
"The Volturi" he said quietly. I froze instantly.
"Crap!" I hissed. "Why would Aro do this to us?" Edward was already shaking his head before I could finish.
"Not Aro, Bella. I was hearing strange thoughts, but paid no attention. The person, let's assume Gianna, was very careful not to think about her master. She was actually reviewing Renesmee's picture." Edward suddenly seemed to remember that Jacob was there, and whipped his head to the side.
"Jacob. You're faster than us. Go get my family, and all the werewolves who will be willing to help. We'll meet in the clearing." Obviously Jacob was unhappy about accepting orders from a vampire, but he nodded his head once, and sprinted off. I wasn't sure if Edward had done that so that we could be alone. I could feel the shock dominating my face, and struggled to compose it.
"What are you thinking?" Edward whispered. I clenched my hands into fists, and heaved the shield out of my mind again. It wasn't too hard, seeing as I was infuriated at the person who had kidnapped Renesmee. As my black fury filled Edward's head, his face filled with his own anger, matching what my face probably looked like. Renesmee was kidnapped.
She could be killed.
