Chapter 11 - tricking Renee

"So you are telling me that she is hiding something that not even you or I have seen?" he asked again. I nodded, "Yes, I do not know how she is hiding it from me but she is. When I look I see nothing I do not already know" I confessed.

He did not like that. "We need to know what it is Bella, we need to confront her" he demanded.

"No that is not the right course. I already asked Alice what would come when I chose that, it is not good. She needs to tell us because she feels apart of this family" I told him sternly. I left no room for debate, this is final.

"Fine, we will do it your way for a while. But I will get the answers if this fails" he swore as he left with Emmett.

"He will calm down just give him time, Edward tends to over react to things" Esme told me as she squeezed my shoulders.

"you think? He goes crazy over the smallest things and yet for some reason I love him" I joked. She laughed, "Thank God for that."

"Guys I am going for a run, If Em and Edward get back before I do tell him where I went" I told them before taking off. I just needed my space to think.

I watched as my once little girl took off to the woods. I do remember loving Bella and being her mother but it seems like it was someone's life. I feel this need to be close to her, but I do not know how to get back what we had. I was about to run back to her house when I caught the scent.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

I heard a throaty laugh. "You know what you are suppose to do Renee. It is not done, I am here to make sure it is" he said.

"Logan, did Jane send you?"

"No, Caius asked me to check on you. He does not believe you can complete this" Logan replied.

How dare they send someone after me! I have never given them any reason to believe I would flip sides.

"This is inexcusable, they should not have sent you. The Cullen's will catch your scent" I sneered.

"that is a chance will have to take" Logan said as he disappeared.

I love this meadow, Edward had taken me here once before. It was his special place and it was mine now too. It was easy to think here.

I needed to clear my head and think about things, things like Renee.

I do not know what to do about her, I want to trust her but I cant not shake the feeling what she is hiding could destroy us all.

I feel horrid coming here and tainting this place with my thoughts of pending doom but I have no other place to go. Just then I caught a scent I did not know, so I went after it. It lead close to the house, but that was not what troubled me Renee's scent was here as well.

I took off into the woods looking for Em and Edward, I knew that had not yet returned and I needed to speak to them now.

It was not long before I could here Emmett's teasing.

"Well boys will be boys" I say to know one.

"I heard that" Emmett called out. "I think she wanted you to" Edward answered, I could hear the smile in his voice.

"What's wrong?" Edward asks me once I come into view. "Renee is hiding something. I caught a strange scent early and went after it, while following it I could a spot that over looks the house where Renee's scent was as well. She was meeting someone" I told them both. I could feel the anger growing inside me.

"What are you wanting to do?" he asked me, but Emmett answered first. "I say we beat the answers out of her" and for once I wanted to agree with the big goof. "I have to say Em I like your idea, but I am not sure it is going to be that easy."

"Why not?" he asked. "We need her in the long run Emmett. But I do believe I know how to get her to tell me what I want to know" I looked at Edward " I will need Jaspers help and yours to read his mind while I am in hers."

"What exactly are you going to do?" my love asked me. Should I really let it out what I could really do, I hated that I could do it. I have only ever done it once and I swore I never would again. But this time will be different, I am protecting my family. "I am going to invade her mind completely and with Jaspers help make her believe that my thoughts are her own" I told them.

They looked at me with mixed emotions, "You can really do that?" Emmett asked. I nodded, "Yes, I hate doing it but right not there is no other way." They nodded in agreement.

I left them then to find Renee.

It didn't take long to find her. What I didn't count on was her not being alone when I did. I crouched down and watched them, she was with a man, someone I didn't not recognize.

"Renee time is running out. They will not except your failure" the man said.

"I understand Logan. I know what I was sent here to do and it will be done. Before I leave the Cullen's will be short a few members" Renee told him. He smiled, "Good. I will be returning before I depart for Italy."

"as you wish" Renee answered.

So his name was Logan. This vampire seems to bring fear to her eyes. I could use that to my advantage.

"Renee, what are you doing out here?" I asked her, as I entered the small clearing. He face never faltered, "I caught a strange scent and followed it but whoever it was is gone now."

"Oh well so was I. But it just ended a little further north. Something tells me whoever it was will be back. They made it pretty close to the house. Esme asked for us all to come back for a meeting, including you." I told her.

She smiled, "Of course." She wouldn't know what hit her.

Once we got back to the house Emmett grabbed her, "hold her Em" I said as I went to Jasper. "Make her feel love and affection for me, she needs to believe she loves me like she use to," I told him, he nodded.

I looked to Edward, remember everything you read.

I looked Renee in her eyes then and it didn't take long to break into her mind. So I started to place thoughts:

You love Bella, she is your daughter.

You want to help her, save her

You want to tell her everything you where sent to do

You don't want anything bad to happen to her or the ones she loves

You want to tell her about your gifts

I let go of her then, I could still since the thoughts in her mind. She was thinking them now, believing them.

"Bella can we talk?" she asked me. I nodded. "Alone?" she asked.

"No, anything you have to say to me can be said to us all" I told her.

"Of course. Well…"
