Chapter 14: This is only the start

Seriously why did the freakin' Volturi always have to show up? I mean, it's like we're their only concern. Hello! There are other vampires wreaking havoc in the world! Edward, heartless jerk that he was, was extremely amused by my angry thoughts. I turned my head just slightly to see Bella, Alice and Edward, each with their own expression, sitting close together on the sofa.

Bella was raising her arms back in forth. I could see the weird material of her shield as she stretched it farther and farther each time. Even after seeing it many times, it was still hard to describe, even to myself. The best analogy I could come up with was kind of like a rubber band except mostly white and translucent. It was invisible to most human and immortal eyes yet clear as day to me.

Maybe when this nightmare was over and Rose was safe again I might care enough to find out why that was. Right now I couldn't care less. Alice was just well... being Alice. Her dark gold eyes were locked on the coffee table. Since there wasn't a dress or clothing catalogue on it I figured she was probably having a vision. Edward looked prepared, I guess you could say. He kept glancing from the T.V. to Bella.

The cellphone in my hand seemed to become hot. I stared down on it. Was it too late to call Rose? Could Felix hear from this distance? Instead of trying to test my theories I ignored the phone. The football game on the T.V. wasn't holding my attention. My favorite teams weren't playing and even if they were, nothing could get my mind off Rose and the risk of something going terribly wrong.

Ugh! Why couldn't Felix just show up, see Nessie and be done with it? The freakin' Volturi never did anything the easy way. Speaking of Nessie, where was she anyway?

"Sleeping." Edward answered looking up the stairs then back at me. I nodded.

"I see him." Esme's voice was low and worried from her position inside the kitchen. The four of us flew to her side. Esme's ash-colored hand was pressed to the window. I looked over her shoulder and caught my first glimpse of Felix since the last Volturi confrontation.

Even though he must have been at least thirty miles away, to my vampire eyes he might as well have been in front of me. Over six feet tall, with dark hair that made the pallor that was normal for any vampire seem extreme on his cold flesh, Felix looked the part of a Volturi assassin. He was walking slowly, drifting along the moist ground toward the house.

Bella inhaled unnecessarily beside me. She was nervous. She always reverted back to her human mannerisms when she was nervous or worried.

"We should get Renesmee." She never took her eyes off Felix as she spoke.

"Yes." Edward agreed and left before a hundredth of a second could pass.

"It'll be fine." Alice suddenly spoke up.

"Of course." Esme replied before any of us had the chance. Five minutes went by. Edward returned with Nessie in his arms and we all went outside. A united front as always.

"What's happening Daddy?" Nessie looked confused as she clutched Edward's neck tighter.

"Someone's here to see you Ness." His words were calm, meant to soothe.

Would it hurt Felix to just run here? It would make things a lot simpler, not to mention quicker. That way Rose and Carlisle could come back. To me it was an eternity before the vampire's figure eventually appeared. He stopped about ten feet away from us. Edward nodded at him and turned toward us.

"He wants us to come toward him."

No one uttered a word but unwillingly and cautiously followed Edward as he made his way to Felix.

Felix was standing still, a pale, perfect statue sporting an aggravated and bored look on his rugged face. It was painfully clear to everyone that he really didn't want to be here. Fine with me. We didn't want him to be here either and I couldn't wait to see the back of him.

"Felix." Edward acknowledged him with a curt nod. Nessie had buried her head in his neck and refused to get down. The poor child was probably freaked out with everything.

Felix was silent for a moment before shifting his glare to Nessie. "I was sent by Aro," he said as he stared at Nessie's back with blood red eyes. Apparently the Volturi didn't bother to teach their Guard that it was rude to stare. "to make sure... everything was fine with the child."

"Everything is fine with Renesmee."Bella's voice was brusque. Felix turned his attention to her, the bored expression quickly morphing into a smirk as he winked at her.

"Pleased to hear that. Aro is right. Immortality absolutely suits you." Edward growled quietly, shooting Felix a look that would have given me pause if it had been directed at me. Felix ignored him.

"Aro also sends his best regards to his dear friend, Carlisle."

Oh shit.

"Where is the good doctor now?"Felix had abandoned his unabashed perusal of Bella's form, and his crimson eyes now glanced around in search of the Cullen patriarch. Dammit! We really should have thought of something to say if he inquired after Carlisle.

Esme stepped closer, her soft voice drawing his attention. "Rosalie and Carlisle are taking care of some business out of town. They're so sorry they couldn't make it here in time for your arrival. Unfortunately, we received news of your ... visit... so late..."

Felix looked unconvinced. "Ah, how disappointing. Aro wanted me to tell him in person. Perhaps next time."

His thin lips turned up in parody of a smile. I bit back a snarl. I really didn't like the arrogant bully and I was certain, in a fight, I could take him down easily. But that wasn't the point now. All I wanted was for him to leave, as soon as possible. Was that too much to ask for?

"Certainly." Jasper smiled and Alice nodded, seconding his sentiment.

Felix looked around again." Excellent. I'm curious though; do you still keep those werewolves?"

I grit my teeth in aggravation. Why couldn't he just shut up already? Edward tilted his head to the right and looked at Alice. Of course Felix didn't miss the exchange and neither did anyone else, except maybe little Ness.

"Shape shifters." Edward corrected turning to face Felix. "As I said before, they don't belong to us. We share their mission to respect and preserve human life."

Felix snorted." Very amusing indeed your way of... thinking. "It seemed like he changed the word at the last second. "Very well then. Aro will be delighted that everything is great with your coven."

Translation: "We don't know have anything on you yet, but we'll be watching and waiting for you slip up."

He turned his back to us and in less than a heartbeat disappeared. Why couldn't the dude just have done that before? Without much thought, I powered up the tiny black phone and punched some numbers before pressing it to my ear. It rang three times before Carlisle's answering machine came.

What the hell? Why didn't he answer? Had something happened? I knew it was a bad idea to let Rose out of my sight. I knew it! I walked to the house again following the others.

"I'll put Nessie to sleep."Bella had taken her daughter, half asleep, half scared, from her father's arms and now held her tightly as if she never wanted to let her go.

I sighed; frustration was my main emotion at the moment, followed closely by worry and fear for my wife's wellbeing. I dialed the number again. And again. And again and once more. Nothing.

"Damn it." Edward and Alice were looking at me out of the corner of their eyes.

"Tell him..."Edward spoke softly to Alice. She looked at me then looked away.

"Tell me what?" I wasn't in the mood for this. I glared at them impatiently, silently commanding them to tell me whatever they knew.

Alice moved to my side taking my hands in hers and grasping them tightly. "Em please don't get ahead of yourself with what I'm going to say." Oh-oh I didn't like where this was going. Her lips pressed together. "I had a vision about Rosalie. It was too blurry she was screaming and then..."

"And then?" My voice was barely more than a whisper.

"Her future disappeared. Like Bella's, I couldn't see a thing."

Rosalie's POV (hour earlier.)

"Are you sure staying with the Denali's is good idea? What if Felix visits them too?" As Carlisle drove swiftly at 120 miles per hour, I asked him the questions more to distract myself than anything else.

"I'm sure Rosalie. Besides, as far as I know, they're not even home. I think Tanya and the rest of them were going to visit the city where Sasha created Tanya and Kate. And of course Irina too."

Running would have been a whole lot faster but obviously in my condition it wasn't an option. I turned toward the window. The rays of sunshine reflected on my fingers like a mirror. Some would say it was beautiful.

"Carlisle..?" I was staring at the passing trees, how could the world look so peaceful when mine was falling apart.

"Yes Rosalie?"

"You said seven days or less. Could the babies be born even sooner? I mean, like tomorrow or the day after that? I know that wouldn't be ideal but would it be possible?"

I faced Carlisle waiting his reply. His marble hands were locked on the wheel and his yellow cat irises moved as he thought of what I had just said." Anything is possible, I suppose. Why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering."

He nodded and floored the accelerator.

The medium two story house came into view within a few minutes. It wasn't the paste white color I remembered it to be. Now it had changed to a warm brown.

"Let me help you." Carlisle raced to the passenger side door. I inched closer as his firm grip helped me out." I'm sorry we didn't have time to pack."

I restlessly sat on the leather sofa listening to what Carlisle said. His smile was wry.

"We didn't exactly know we would have been expecting a guest."

Carlisle laughed quietly to himself." True." He turned around heading to the door." Rose, I forgot my phone in the car. Will you be all right?"

"Of course."

I lied, eying the massive flat screen in front of me. The discomfort in the lower part of my abdomen was rising slowly but strongly. The pain I had successfully hidden from Carlisle in the car had doubled. I glanced around the room. Not much had changed since my last visit. The black leather seats were in the same place, as was the large glass dining table. The walls had changed from a light blue to a paper pale white.

I was having a hard time ignoring the pain. Right now it didn't seem as easy to overlook as before. Did the transformation to become a vampire even compare in torture as to this?

"Batteries dead." Carlisle said as he walked back into the room. "I'll need to buy a charger. But not now. It's not safe to leave you here."

I could feel the frustration coming from him.

"But Carlisle, how will we know when to return if they don't notify us?"

He sighed.

"Don't worry. Just relax. You need the rest."He started to walk to the hall and I felt like a complete burden. If it wasn't for me Carlisle could get that charger and we would be able to get home sooner rather than later. I turned to my right and like a bullet out of nowhere was sent straight to the shimmering tiles.

Someone screamed. It was me.

"Rose?" Carlisle was suddenly at my side, holding his hand to my cheek. There was no strength left in me to answer. This was the end.
