Ok, now I know all of you know this part in Breaking Dawn, I changed up some things basically because I have another character in the story and also I want to keep things interesting. You all should know this part wel enough to fill in the blanks. I didn't go into detail on everything because we know it all already. I figured I'd just kinda skip over information that we all know lol. But the next few chapters are going to follow events of Breaking Dawn, but obviously not exactly the same.
I paced silently in front of the couch where my kids were sleeping. Both of them on opposite sides of the couch snoring lightly as they slept. Jacob slept in the corner in his wolf form. He wanted to stay connected to the pack. I didn't blame him. I could feel Edward's eyes on me as he watched me pace. I wanted to go to him, but I couldn't walk away from my kids. I needed to be close just incase Irina decided to come looking for them. Of course Alice and Edward would know she was coming in time for me to protect them, but it made me feel better standing right in front of them.
Alice scurried through the house rearranging things. It took us all by surprise when the vase slipped through her fingers. Jacob jumped to his feet growling, baring his teeth. I leaned over Masen and Renesmee, my hand on each of their backs. Edward stared at Alice as he watched her vision with her. Esme, Carlisle, and Jasper were at her side in an instant.
"What?" I whispered. Jacob's whimper followed my question. He wanted to know as much as I did. I could feel the heat of his body on my back. I didn't have to turn around to know he was less than a foot behind me.
"Irina," Edward whispered.
"She decided to go to the…" Alice trailed off as she looked at all of us.
"Volturi." Edward finished her sentence for her.
"No!" I gasped, falling to my knees, leaning over Masen as Jacob hovered closer to Renesmee. Edward's arms were around me as he crouched behind me. "We have to stop her." I whispered.
"It's too late," Alice's voice broke as if she was going to cry. "She's almost there."
"We will prepare for them. We need witnesses to watch Renesmee and Masen grow. We have to distract the volturi long enough for them to hear their heartbeats." Carlisle had his phone in his hand. Alice's eyes moved widely around the room. She took Jasper's hand, pulling him towards the door.
"Get as many as you can, and so will we. I'm sorry, but we have to go." Alice hurried out the door with Jasper at her heels.
It was hours before any of us spoke again. The sun was rising outside, my skin sparkled as the rays hit me.
"Go," Edward nodded at whatever Jacob was thinking. I heard Jacob whimper, but I didn't take my eyes off Masen's face. "She'll be ok. Go on." Edward's voice did not go above a whisper. Jacob nudged my shoulder with his nose and I heard him leap out the window.
"Where is he going?" I asked Edward.
"To let the packs know what's going on. He's going to get them prepared."
I rolled my eyes. "He should just tell them to run. He's preparing his pack to die, Edward. There is no way we can beat the volturi. We're going to die." I looked into his eyes. There was no way I was going to survive this without him. His destiny was the same as mine. Together we made a whole, there was no compromise when it came to me or him living. We both knew it, but how was I going to save my kids? Just because my destiny was to stand with Edward doesn't mean they had to lose their lives as well. They were innocent children.
We all stayed where we were. None of us moving. We were statues frozen in place. The only sound in the room was the heartbeats of my children. The sound pounding in my ears.
Jacob barked once letting us know he was back. Edward stood up taking me with him. I hesitated, but let go of my son, letting Edward bring me to my feet.
"Alice," he whispered as he stared out the large window. She hasn't come back since she left last night. We all moved at once out the door to find them.
We split up after talking to Sam. I wanted to follow Alice's trail. It was new and it was just her. The trail led to the cottage. I convinced Edward to wait for me outside while I went to investigate. The book Alice used to write the note Sam gave us also had something else written in it. It was just for me. She was leaving me a hint, but I had no idea what the name or address meant. I threw the book into the fireplace just as she asked. Edward walked up behind me as the book turned to ashes in the fire.
We ran back to the house. I didn't want to be away from Masen and Renesmee for long. They should be waking up soon.
When we got back to the house everyone was already in action. Carlisle and Esme were going to round up as many friends as they could as well we Rosalie and Emmett. Edward and I were to stay here and try to convince the guests to stay and witness Masen and Renesmee.
The first to show up was the Denali coven. Both Renesmee and Masen were on my lap as we sat at the large dining room table. Jacob sat across from me, both of us staring at each other, horror written all over our faces. I listened for my cue to bring them in. When Edward called for me I stood up, placing Masen and Renesmee on the ground and pulled them behind me. Jacob placed a hand on both their shoulders, guiding them behind me.
All it took was for them to let Renesmee touch them. Once they did, they knew she was not what they thought she was. Masen took Edward's hand, looking up at him. Edward bent down so Masen could whisper into his ear. He was confirming that they no longer thought badly about them.
"He can read minds as well?" Kate pointed out. Even though Masen was whispering all of us could hear him clearly.
Edward and I nodded. "He can only hear the thoughts he wants. Although I can't hear his at all."
"But you can hear Renesmee's?" She asked.
Edward nodded.
"Such talented children. They must be your children. Their gifts are like yours." Tanya pointed out.
"Yes," Eleazar agreed. "Such a talented family. A mind reader of a father, another form of mind reader from the son, a shield of a mother, and whatever magic your daughter has bewitched us with."
"Excuse me?" Edward asked, stunned but Eleazar's words. "What did you call my wife?"
"A shield, I think. It's hard to tell. She's blocking me now."
A shield? I wasn't blocking him. I was standing across the room from him. I haven't moved. Edward and Eleazar talked more about my shield. Apparently it was possible, but rare. Eleazar only knows of one other vampire with a shielding power and she's used with the volturi.
"Have you tried shielding anyone beside yourself?" Kate asked me.
I looked at her bewildered. "No… I didn't know I could."
Edward talked to Eleazar a little more about the volturi while I listened intently. But at the same time trying to grasp my newly found gift.
Once more friends showed up, they were easily taken by Renesmee and Masen--once they gave them both the chance to show them they were not the immortal children they thought they were.
