Chapter 12
Trouble
After rushing outside, I stumbled past the trees. I was running so fast I was loosing my footing. I fell face down in the dirt. Frustrated, and in pain, I got up and brushed myself off. My clothes were ruined! So what, I wasn't Alice. I shouldn't have cared. Finally, I reached the big house. I wasn't in the door for five seconds when I heard the loudest laugh. I jumped with fright, and Emmet fell to the floor cracking up.
"Oh my God!" Emmet yelled.
Apparently my appearance was worse than I thought.
"What happened to you?" Alice said in shock, when she stopped at the bottom of the stairs.
"I fell! So what!" I shouted.
I hadn't meant to yell but the tone flew out of my mouth with no control.
"Geez Nessie! Fashion Tip 101 - dirt and mud are not accessories!" Emmet laughed again.
"Geez Emmet! When was last time you fell in the dirt or knocked into a tree?!?" I was humiliated and ran quickly past Alice who tried to catch me but she couldn't.
I stomped up the stair and into the bathroom. I sat down on the edge of the bathtub and cried. I heard three soft knocks on the door, Mom.
"Come in." I whimpered.
"Nessie? What happened? You're a mess!" My mother started to chuckle, but not in a bad way.
"I fell." I said stubbornly.
I could feel the tears running down my face.
"Honey..." My mother started. I cut her off,
"Mom, I'm not crying just because I fell..." She looked at me with a funny glance, but I still continued,
"I had this...dream, I think it means something..." I looked up at her with concern. She still looked a bit puzzled, but she got the idea.
"Renesmee..." She hesitated. "We'll figure this out, but lets get you cleaned up first." She reached up to turn the knob on the shower. Momentarily, the room was filled with the familiar steam.
Clean and relaxed, I sat in Carlisle's office. Alice, Edward, Bella, and Carlisle himself, were talking in monotone so low I couldn't hear anything. Finally, Edward approached me and kneeled down to reach my eye level.
"Ness, what did you see in your, uhhh... dream." He hesitated on dream because if it was scary, how could it be?
I hesitated, unable to explain, so I offered him my hand. He took my hand. At first he seemed normal, but then he froze still as a statue. When the white face appeared, I flinched. After replaying the nightmare, Edward stood up but didn't loosen his grip on my wrist he led towards Carlisle,
"Carlisle, look at this." He said.
I held my hand out to my grandfather. He softly placed his cold fingers on my palm. He stood motionless the entire time. Finally he said quietly, "Volturi."
