When i finished my story, i looked around the room to see their faces. Understandably the wolves were more than a little pissed to hear a human to be taken away fro his life just like that. The Cullens though all had different facial expressions. Carlisle looked thoughtful as did Bella, Rosalie and Emmett looked indifferent like they had heard, not the same story, but some similar stories before. Edward though looked really guilty,so i started reading his mind..."if only i could of resisted the temptation to see he last part of my family". i looked at him like he was stupid and didn't really notice until Bella noticed my look and nudged him with her elbow. "Don't be stupid Edward" was all i said, and i let him read my thoughts as well. "Let's not forget, that you were the last part of family as well. seeing you that day is the happiest memory i have left from my human life". he smiled, "You're right, there is no reason to be beating myself over it". good, he always has blamed himself for everything. i decided we probably shouldn't keep going on with our silent conversation, because Alice looked kind of pissed, as did Emmett. "that's right, you should be celebrating, your brother is back from his 100 year sentence in hell, and is ready to...get to know the nice family that my brother has found himself", i trailed in to a different sentence when i noticed the look from Heidi telling me to calm down. she knew i could easily let the nostalgia take over. that's when i felt for the first time, Jasper's ability, it worked incredibly well. I remembered Renessme's ability and used it to project my thanks to Jasper. He stiffened and blinked a couple times and got a confused look in his eyes. "Sorry, I remembered that i had a talented niece, and used her gift to say my thanks". With that Renessme, decided she wanted to show me all the pretty places she has seen, and jumped off of Bella's lap, and in to mine. i jumped slightly but other than that just looked at the pictures. There was a cottage, a meadow, a beach, another persons house, and many more. with every picture she was explaining what they were in her head, The cottage was her home, the meadow was her parents special place, the beach was the La Push beach down on the reservation, and the other house was Jacob's. It went on for couple minutes, and when it ended she asked in her head if I could show her some pretty places. i spoke to her through her mind and you could tell she loved the idea of another mind projector in the family. "I guess i could show you a couple my pictures" my first of the city of Volterra itself, which was very beautiful. i didn't have anything against it, just the resident vampire community. next i showed my only friend in the volturi, Afton. He was standing behind Santiago, making faces. Renessme laughed a that, as did Edward. I showed her the first time i saw Heidi, and Renessme reached over and touched her to show her what i was projecting. "you are very pretty". I could see Heidi smile at Renessme, I knew then that Heidi was going to really like Renessme. My last picture, was my all time favorite memory, that didn't involve Heidi in someway. It was the sunset in Italy, on top of Volterra Castle. It was an absolutely beautiful sight. All the colors really lit up the sky, orange, yellow and pink dominated it. Renessme sighed, laid her head on my right shoulder, and asked if i could keep showing her that until she fell asleep. I just grinned, and allowed my mind to keep up the picture while I looked at Edward and Bella.
"I think Nessie has a new favorite uncle". i just laughed, Emmett and Jasper playfully disagreed with the assessment. Everyone was quiet until they heard Nessie give her first soft snore. I looked at Edward "where does she sleep when she's here". We both got up and I followed him up to her room. when we got there i laid her down on the bed with her head on the pillows. i stood there and stared at her. Yup, i decided right there, i could get used to having a niece. Edward chuckled and we left the room. when we got to the living room, I was hit my the speeding bullet that was Heidi, and kissed with as much passion as she could throw in to it. when we resurfaced, i felt like i was lightheaded. "Wow, not that im complaining, but what was that for"? she looked at me with the biggest smile I'd ever seen on her face. "I'll tell you later", and walked back to the couch dragging me behind. I was curious, but decided not to read her mind. Id let her tell me when she was ready. when we got there, i saw the look on Bella's face and figured she knew exactly what Heidi was feeling. i let it go for now. we spent the next hour getting to know each other better, all starting with Carlisle's story. then Heidi told everybody her story of how she became a part of the Volturi. After she was done, i was at a loss as to what to do next. the wolves all left awhile ago to go home, all except Jacob of course, he was just sitting there like he was lost in his own world. i didn't want to read his mind so i left it alone. "So what do we do now". i looked around, Edward looked as if he ad an idea, "you know, you guys haven't hunted in 3 or 4 days, why don't we go see how well you do"? i looked at Heidi, "sure". "Why don't we just have Edward and Bella go with you this time, let the brothers get reacquainted over a hunt", Carlisle suggested. Edward just nodded and we got up and left. I stopped, when an idea struck me. "Why don't you ladies go ahead of us, i want to have a little bet with my little brother here" i said as i through an arm around his shoulders and dragged his head down and gave him a noogie. Heidi rolled her eyes "come on Bella, Let's have some girl time, and you tell me what being a 'vegetarian' vampire is all about". Bella laughed and they both took off. "Alright Edward, why don't we have a little race. I tend to do better when competition is involved. I propose that who ever takes down the bigger predator, faster, gets to pick out any new car they want, and the loser has to pay". He thought about it for less than a second, "you're on", and we were off. in terms of speed, we were equals, I had the longer stride, but he had the quicker legs. we jumped the river and i landed first so i had the lead for now, but when it came to the actual hunt, he had way more years of experience hunting animals, and i had barely been hunting at all. i could see the girls in the distance, they looked to be watching us, and holding a conversation as well, we flew by them in which i blew a kiss to Heidi while keeping perfect stride. they got up to follow us, there was no way they could keep up with us, but we would be easy enough to find with our scents. i started looking around for any evidence of a large predator, but none could be seen, so i used my other senses. i closed my eyes and focused on the sounds and smells that surrounded me. Birds, bugs, and small mammals could be heard everywhere, and their scents were all very repulsive, i guess I'd have to get used to it.
it took about 10 minutes before i smelled a scent that had to be a large predator, my guess was average grizzly or large black bear. so i tore off after it. i found it in a meadow, that was very wide open. i jumped up on to a branch while running, so i could get a good liftoff from the last possible branch and take the, what looked to be a grizzly, out from above. i hit the branch perfectly and soared through the air, i looked down and noticed that it was eating some berries, well this was going to be a little too easy for me, so instead of jumping on its back and biting its neck i landed on the side and pushed it, effectively throwing it 20 yards. to say it was pissed off would be an understatement. it rose on to its hind legs and roared. i looked at it for a sec and then ran and tackled it to the ground and rolled over it and stood, waiting for it to do the same. it stood and ran at me, it launched its front paws at me to get me down, but i side stepped it and spartan kicked it in the side to send it tumbling. i might have broke some ribs where i kicked because its breathing was rather shaky as it stood, but just like any other apex predator, it was not going down without a fight. it charged again, and i jumped and front flipped over it, too bad the bear happened to stand up as i flipped and grabbed my shirt with his teeth, and it tore off as i landed on the bears back, facing away from the head. i decided to end it before i ended up walking back to the house nude. i hopped in the air and turned so i was facing the bear's head and landed on its back again. i took both hands and pushed down hard on its spine until i heard a crack and the bear went growled loudly and went limp. i crawled down to its neck and bit in. the blood was nowhere near as good as a human blood, but it did taste alright and calm the burn in my throat. there was also more blood in a bear than a human so i wouldn't need to kill as much. when i finished i got off the bear and looked around and found that i had an audience. Heidi and Bella were watching with smiles on their faces. they walked over and i noticed Heidi looking at me with appraisal. i looked down and really looked at myself, and noticed i looked as if i was posing for a commercial. i even had moisture on my upper body from the wet grass in the meadow. "You know honey, i may have to thank that bear, im loving the improvement on your wardrobe". Bella giggled and i looked at Heidi suggestively and jumped tackling her to the ground, "and what do you say about this". she didn't say anything, she just kissed me fiercely. "I'm going to go find Edward", i broke the kiss, "tell him good luck for me", i laughed and resumed my previous activity. we laid there just kissing for about an hour, when we heard a clearing of the throat. we both jumped up, Heidi fixed her shirt which had gotten shoved up while we were kissing. Edward and Bella had returned. "So Edward what did you get"? he looked at me, "well i was on the track of a rather large bear, but then i crossed the trail of a mountain lion, and i just couldn't help myself". i laughed, "Alright, but you still have to pay for my new car, I'll tell you what it is when i find it", i grinned.
