A/n: Sorry about the wait, and the length. I have a lot going on right now, and it's taking me a while!!

"Seth!" I shouted, falling to the ground next to him.

Ness you can't be here.

"I can't leave you here." I whispered, picking him up.

No Ness….

He was quiet when I picked him up.

I started running; Seth's warm torso made my palms sweat. I could feel someone behind me the whole time. When I got close to my house, a large wall of earth appeared in front of me; I screamed. Two people appeared shortly after.

"Good job Benjamin." The small female smiled.

"This is wrong Chelsea." The other replied painfully.

She turned to look at him. "Benjamin! You can't believe that!"

"The Cullen's are my friends…" he whispered, looking down.

She sighed and walked closer to him, gripping his face in between her stone hands. She kissed him forcefully and he jolted to life. "Now, the Cullen's are…?"

"The enemy." He growled, tensing.

"Right." She smiled, turning to look back at me.

I tensed with freight; she could manipulate… trust?

"Do you know why we're here Renesmee?" she asked, walking over to me casually.

I nodded my head once and tightened the grip I had on Seth.

"What is that? A guard dog?"

I swallowed hard.

"Shape-shifter; and there's more of them." Benjamin hissed.

"More?" Chelsea growled exchanging looks between us. She softened her face and shook it off. "Anyway, Aro wants you to join the Volturi? Yes or no?"

"No." I snapped.

"Ugh. We're going to have to do this the hard way." She moaned, running over to me in half a second and wrapping her hand around my arm. "You have to join us, and you are." She growled.

The feeling of alliance washed through me. Aro didn't want to hurt me…

Then, a wolf came out of no where. Abruptly, she screamed and let me go. In one second, she was in flames. The wolf lay on the ground in defeat.

I screamed and backed away from them quickly.

"Go!" Benjamin shouted, pushing me."The others will hear her screams. Just get what you need and get out. I'll follow you there. When you're in the air, I'll tell your parents you're safe; hurry!"

Leah! Seth's voice shouted, squirming in my arms until he was free.

"Seth-"

Leah... he moaned, resting his head on her chest.

We had no time. "Seth please." I begged.

He looked up at me and nodded. Bye Sis.

"Thank you." I whispered, and I ran.


When we got to the house, Seth helped me gather everything quietly. He was almost lifeless as we walked outside. "Seth, listen to me." I got at eye level. "You know she wouldn't want us moping over her. I know she was your sister, but what would she want you to do?"

Make me happy. He sighed.

"And what would make you happy right now?"

Getting you to safety.

I got threw off course with that one. I hadn't expected him to narrow it down to me in particular and a "Yeah." was all I could manage.

"This is where we part." Benjamin whispered, offering me hand.

"Thanks for all your help." I nodded.

"I needed to make it up to you." he smiled, turning to Seth. "I give condolence for your sister Seth. May she rest in peace."

Tell him I said thanks. Seth told me.

"He says thanks." I told him.

"Goodbye." he breathed, disappearing.

"Are you up for driving?" I asked him.

You want me to drive? He asked warily.

"If you want to." I smiled, showing him the Ferrari.

Cool! I uh- be right back.

"Sure thing." I replied, getting in the passenger's seat.

We arrived at the airport later than planned. I missed my flight and had to catch the next one.

"Jake's going to be so mad!" Seth shook his head.

"Jake?" I asked, looking at him.

"After I got you on the plane, I was supposed to find him. He would try to get to the other airport and take you somewhere safe, but I can't do that now." he growled.

"It's okay Seth. We hit a roadblock." I nodded.

He shook his head. "No one was supposed to get hurt. Sam said... Sam promised."

"He didn't know." I whispered.

"And you know what's going to haunt me though?" he asked quietly.

"Hm?"

"She was trying to follow me." he breathed. "She always told me she was watching me. Always said, 'that's what big sisters are supposed to do'. I never thought she'd sacrifice herself."

"She loved you."

He looked up at me, guilt in his eyes. "That's one thing I'll remember."

"A whole hell of a lot." I smiled.


A/N: At least that big of a cliff. Well, what do you think?
