Chapter 11: Everything Lies in the Painting

It's been three days since Edward and his brothers headed to La Push, intentionally to search for clues on the murders but instead found an unconcious wolf on the forest floor with a growing forest fire with no idea how it began. After saving the wolf from being burned to a crisp, they took him to the Clearwater residence where the pack has lived for the past few days and at first, it seemed that they were going to attack the trio.

Thankfully, Leah was able to convince them that there was something else out there that needed the wolves and vampires to work as one again but Sam didn't allow it. Now, with two missing wolves bodies, a strange vision, Leah becoming human, and a being wandering around the woods, waiting for it's next prey, the Cullens are un easy, especially with the small Renesmee being alone.

Renesmee.

Renesmee, he thinks again, as he lets his thoughts take him to a place he hasn't been to for years after becoming a vampire from all the commotion drawn to him. He breathes in as he thinks about his daughter's health and how it's improved. He smiles at the thought but then frowns again when he remembers Leah.

Leah.

He felt her life force waning. She didn't seem that healthy the last time he saw her. She was on the floor unable to get up and needed help from her younger brother to take her inside. That couldn't have been the fact she's becoming human. Then what is?

Sam.

He remembered the way Sam was acting three days ago. Usually, in times of crisis Sam will agree to the Cullens with an alliance or an aid with any of his pack members. However, on that day, he didn't allow Edward to take his packmate to look at him and make sure he was fine and Leah as well. He couldn't help but notice how hostile he was towards all of them.

Then, there's Jacob.

He noticed that there was something off about Jacob since he entered the store and found him there with Seth. There is a strange feel around him. There is something sinister that's taking place with that wolf that Edward thinks he doesn't even acknowledge yet.

"Edward, can you help me with these things?" Carlisle brings Edward out of his deep concentration. Edward gets up from the desk and helps Carlisle organize some papers into files from patients back at the hospital. "Thank you," He thanks to his son.

Edward nods and gets back to work.

Edward has been in the past three days in Carlisle's lab examining the evidence that he and his brothers found on the forest floor that might be clues to the trespasser that lurks in the woods. He's had his wife come in and help him through whatever he needs, sometimes Rosalie, maybe Jasper-if he isn't time consumed with waiting for Alice to wake up-and Carlisle mostly because he's also intrigued about what could be bringing the people along the west coast of Washington, as close as Forks to as far as Port Angles, in fear.

Edward sighs and rolls his eyes. Carlisle notices this, "Something wrong?"

Edward shakes his head, "It's this DNA, I can't figure it to anything that has touched the earth or who I could link the murders and disappearances too." He shares, looking into a microscope seeing the cells swimming around.

Carlisle smirks, "Have patience, trust me, whatever it is, it'll come up."

Edward nods.

Edward hasn't heard a single thought since his unexpected visit from La Push. He believes that his powers has disappeared for good along with his brother Jasper's emotions and Bella's force field. Alice still hasn't emerged from her slumber and Edward can't help but feel anger as he can't find what's causing his sister to become a vegetable on her bed with Jasper by her side waiting for her to awaken.

He has passed by her room to make sure that she is still present. He can see brain activity within her mind after his examinations so she's still here. He remembers seeing her in bed with her hands folded and appearing like the fair Snow White after being poisoned by the wicked, evil witch.

"Found anything?"

He looks up and sees Rosalie enter with a small smile that doesn't reach her eyes. He shakes his head, "Not yet."

Carlisle nods at Rosalie before going back to his paper work. "Rosalie, what are you doing here?" Edward asked in a harsh, not needed, tone.

She frowns, "I came in to see if everything was alright."

"Everything's fine," He sees something in her eyes. She's hurt, he thinks. "Rosalie, is something wrong?" He asks her.

She shakes her head. She leaves the room suddenly and closes the door behind her. Edward growls and slams his fist onto the table making the table tremble. Edward hates the feeling of being left in the dark and not knowing what is wrong with the people he cares for in his life. He couldn't hear Bella when she was human, he can't hear Renesmee thoughts when she cries in the middle of the night, he couldn't hear Leah when she was on the ground, and he couldn't hear his sister's minds and decide what is the problem of their pain.

Carlisle looks over with concern, "Edward, maybe you should take a breather."

He shakes his head, "I'm fine." He says roughly as he grabs some of the papers and looks over the results. He throws them back down at the desk. Nothing. No leads, no suspects, absolutely nothing. He sits in the chair and feels defeated, helpless that he can't protect the defenseless, his family, not even his own allies who have protected him and his family from danger, twice.

"I'm going out," He says frustrated as he exits the room.

Carlisle nods as he examines the information Edward has obtained through the studies and has a puzzled look over his face. "Maybe you're not that far lost." He murmurs to himself.

Bella has cared for the still Alice, who hasn't awaken from her sudden slumber, with Jasper and keeping an eye on her daughter, who seems caught up on the new white board her uncle Emmett brought her. She requested this two days ago with specific color markers, an eraser, and the spray to clean the board after she's finished. Renesmee sometimes draws her new doll, her mother who sometimes reads one of her favorite books to her, the forest, or sometimes just practices her handwriting.

Her drawings, however, are almost better than any of the famous painters that have ever picked up a brush and poured their hearts, imagination, and whatever she sees on plain canvas. Bella praises her daughter after every drawing she does and gives her a big hug and kiss on the cheek.

However, Bella has noticed that in the dead of night when Renesmee is supposed to be asleep she sees her drawing on the white board with her lamp on. She's come in sometimes only to have Renesmee erase what she's drawn or put the board down and wait until her mother leaves to start again. If Edward still had his powers she would be able to read her mind and see what she's thinking about, unfortunately, he's been having problems connecting with his powers and has been incredibly frustrated at this.

Esme, at times, has told her daughter-in-law that she has entered Renesmee's room to hand her favorite snack that she has always requested at the same time, every single day for the past four years, and has seen Renesmee writing down things. She has asked the small child what is she writing about but Renesmee erases it and tells her that it's a silly love poem.

Bella furrows her brows, "A silly love poem?"

"Yes," She says as she folds her hands, "That's what she's told me, it's just she erases it so quick that I'm unable to read what was on the board."

Bella nods, "I'll look into it," The door opens and the two women see Renesmee exiting her room, she looks at her mother and grandmother and gives them a small smile.

"Hello mommy," She goes up to her mother and gives her a kiss on her cheek, she goes over to Esme, "Hello grandma," She does the same and grabs both of their hands. "I want you to see my painting when it's done," She says with a smile.

Bella smiles back, "Is a poem involved as well?" She asks innocently. Her daughter never lies to her and if she did she would detect it.

Renesmee nods. "I hope you both love it, I heard it in my dream and it told me that my mom and dad should know about this poem." She says with a smile.

"And the picture? Does it go with the dream as well?"

"Oh yes,"

"Alright, go on and keep working on it," Bella says encouragingly. Renesmee nods and skips all the way down the hall into the bathroom and closes the door lightly.

Bella looks over to Esme, "Come with me,"

"Where?"

"Into Renesmee room."

"Why?" Esme asked.

Bella grabbed her wrist, "I want to see what she's drawing."

Esme agreed. The two women opened her door and went inside the small, pink themed room that most young girls have at Renesmee age. Bella searched for the white board that Renesmee uses to draw whatever was on her mind. Esme looked under the bed, inside her closet, behind the television, but couldn't find the small board. Bella opened one of Renesmee draws and found her markers on top of her night gowns. Bella began to take her gowns out neatly and found the box that once held the box in a nice package.

"Here it is," She mused.

Esme walks with Bella already having the board on her lap. Esme gasps as she sees what Bella has revealed to her. Bella swallows hard and closes her eyes and looks at the image again.

Before them, on the white board was a drawing that had the forest of La Push, Bella recognized, but there were bodies in the shadows with golden eyes standing menacing with their glares to them. However, the one that bothers them is the one in the middle who stands tall just as the other bodies but has someone with red eyes next to it. The one with red eyes appears to have a link with the one who is in the middle, almost like a tail, and just stands there. Renesmee has drawn a red smile on the red eyes face, making it even gruesome to what made Bella grimace. Where has her daughter seen this?

Renesmee enters the room with a frown and sees the sight of her mother staring disapprovingly at the white board with Esme's hand over her own mouth. "You don't like it?"

Bella breathes, "Nessie, where have you seen this?"

"In my dreams."

Esme asks, "Darling, do you know what any of this means?"

Renesmee shakes her head, "No, I just see this and...I see a girl wolf in my dreams,"

"A girl wolf?" Bella says as her eyes widen. Leah.

She nods, "Yes, she screams at me telling me to draw what I see in front of me when I wake up and show mommy." She says as she rubs her nose with her wrist, "And here we are."

Bella stands up and runs out of Renesmee's room with the white board in hand searching for her husband to show him what her daughter has drawn on this board.

"She doesn't like it," Renesmee says with a frown. Esme hugs her granddaughter and she shakes her head.

"Renesmee, I think you've helped us in solving what this threat is out there." Esme comforts her granddaughter as she pets her head and wipes the cheeks that are about to pour.

She sniffs, "Really?"

She nods with a small, comforting smile, "Yes darling."

Renesmee smiles.

Edward examines the white board with Carlisle and Bella both behind him. They've stared at this drawing for about an hour trying to decipher what this could mean. Renesmee has told her father about her dream with Leah telling her to draw what she sees before her. If Leah is in the picture then it means this has to do with the wolf pack, Edward thinks.

"I think we should call Jacob."

Edward nods. He pulls out his cell phone and hands it to her as she dials his number waiting patiently for him to answer. "C'mon Jake," She mused, as the ringing continues. It goes straight to voice mail. "No answer,"

"Call one of the wolves, they have to answer, it's only five in the afternoon," Edward says, staring at the image one more time. His eyes focus on the being with the red eyes and smile. He feels the presence this drawing has and feels that he knows who that is. He sees the link between it and the being with yellow eyes who stands next to him.

"That...power...," He whispers to himself. His memories begin to take him back in time as he sees something that he thought he would never see again.

He knows one person who could have this power. His eyes widen. He knows who this is. It's clear to him finally after all this time.

"Hello?" Bella answers the phone. "Seth?" She's silent. "Seth, where's Jacob?" She listens to the other line, she bites her lip. "Around? Where is around?"

"Has Jacob been anywhere lately?" Edward says suddenly.

"Seth? Seth, has Jacob been anywhere lately?" She asks him. She waits, "What do you mean?" She asks Edward.

"Has Jacob left La Push for any reason?"

Seth answers in the phone, Bella nods.

"Where?"

Seth answers, hearing Edward. Bella responds, "California."

Edward heads out the door suddenly, "Seth, hang on," She hands the phone to Carlisle and runs after him. "Edward!" She yells behind him. She sees him grabbing his coat and car keys to the Volvo. She stands there staring at him with confusion.

"Bella, I need to go to wherever Jacob went," He responds her unanswered question.

Bella nods, "Where do you think he went?"

"To a source that he was never supposed to go too in the first place." He responds. He places a kiss on her head, "I'll be back soon." He promises. He looks over to see Renesmee in the living room with a frown on her face. He walks over to Nessie and places a kiss on her forehead. "You are solving our problems, Nessie, thank you."

She smiles and nods her head. She kisses him on the cheek and waves, "Bye daddy, see you soon."

Edward nods, he kisses Bella one more time and is out the door. Bella sighs closing her eyes, hoping that wherever he's going that he'll come back to her in one piece. "Mommy!" Nessie yells. She looks over and sees her pointing to the television, fear-stricken in her face. Bella runs over to the television and sees that it's the local news station with news that she doesn't want to hear now. She swallows hard when Rosalie, Emmett, Esme, and Carlisle enter the living room to see what all the commotion was about.

The news reporter then made the grizzling announcement, "We have breaking news that there have been at least five bodies found within the La Push reservation along Forks, Washington this late Thursday afternoon..."

Let me know about those stories guys and tell me what you think about this chapter and how this story is going so far!
