Dark Side of the Moon

Chapter 11.

Camel returned to Forks a couple of weeks later, and told us that on this night, the show would be on. He told us that it would be informative and funny, but offered up little more. He said that all would be answered at 10:00 pm if we turned on to Showtime West. So we had a few hours, and we hung with Camel, and decided not to press him about the show, who made it, and why he was involved with Penn & Teller. He said that he'd have to leave before 10, but he stated that he'd let us in on some stuff before he left.

Thusly, at 9:30, we all gathered in the living room, and Camel entertained us, and finally spilled the beans at about 9:40. "Well, I helped produce the show that I'd like for you to see tonight in so far as I sent some material to some friends for an expose on some dear to my heart that I know is total crap", he admitted.

I then told him that I had something to tell him. "Camel, I've been doing some research after you left the last time, and I found something that is also near and dear to you heart-your parents!"

"How'd the hell you find them?! They're dead last time I checked!"

"The police chief investigating the incident with your parents was corrupt and ruled them as 'missing and presumed dead', and they also went into hiding because of what you feared-the chief was on the take from the Volturi, but they meant well-they were as fond of you mother and father as the Volturi are of Carlisle", I told Camel, "but the chief went too far, and Charlie replaced him, but he couldn't do anything to fix that wrong, and believe me, he did try-he likes you and your parents, too".

I then told him that his parents were waiting outside, and he finally was able to meet his parents, who he hadn't seen in over a decade. He embraced them, and they came in and talked for a few minutes. Then, as he mentioned, he had to leave, but he still was able to give his thanks to me.

"Thanks, Nessie. I wish I was able to find them sooner, but thanks for your help-you didn't have to do this".

"I knew how hard a time you had finding them, and I'm your friend, and it was the least that me and my family could do for you, since it was the source of a lot of your troubles".

"I can never thank you enough, Renesmee..."

"You don't have to-I wanted you to have what I have, a caring family, especially because you though that you lost yours...."

"Hey, Nessie," Camel told me, "isn't the show I was telling you about coming on right about now?".

"Oh, yeah", I confirmed to him.

"I have to leave, with my family." Camel said. "And remember, let what's being presented surprise you".

"OK, well let you go!", I told him as he and his parents walked out the door, after which I told him, "I wish you well-come back to visit when you can".

"All right, Nessie, well be in touch!".

I went back in side and sat next to Jacob as Carlisle changed the channel to Showtime West. The on screen announcer said "the following presentation is rated TV-MA", and we saw that the show had graphic adult language and adult content, with the admonishment of "viewer discretion is advised".

"Ohhh, what could it be?", Jacob asked, indulgently.

"I don't know-Camel never told anyone", I responded.

Then it came to me when I heard some one on screen say, "Hi! I'm Penn Jillette and this is my partner, Teller..." I recognized them as the guys who interviewed us, and they matched the description that Camel gave of the guys he met. We watched the show, and it was about the Volturi, and featured interview of us and them, and Penn & Teller completely ripped the Volturi. Aro called after the show and told us that we weren't in trouble for anything, and neither was Camel-the Volturi were still shaken by the events of 6 in a half years ago, and by what Camel did to them in the past. But still, what has Camel, with P & T's help, stirred up for the Volturi.

"Well, better him than us-the Volturi are even more afraid of Camel then all of us", Rosalie admonished.

"The Volturi won't be coming here, aside from wanting to know whether or not you want to live as a human-they won't bring this up at all", Alice confirmed.

I was glad that the future was set aside from what life I wanted to live. And I knew what Camel wanted finally-his family, and to expose the Volturi for who and what they really are. I just hope that the Volturi don't destroy themselves over this-who would take their place on our world? But I'm glad that peace is still at hand.
