Back again! Hope everyone enjoys this chapter! We're getting closer to a family reunion!

Renesmee POV

The flight to Denali was quicker than expected. I was nervous, I hadn't met this Irina yet. I hoped she was as nice as the rest of her family.

I felt uncomfortable in Alaska, I was so close to my old home and being back here brought memories to the surface. I missed momma so much, her comforting hugs, her soft melodic voice humming me to sleep, I missed my Bestfriend. I felt bad thinking of her, knowing that it pained my father to see memories of her. He smiled at me from the front seat of the rental car and reached to grasp my hand. He's lectured me time and time again about thinking about her, telling me I had every right to and to not worry about him. But I couldn't help it, seeing him in pain is the last thing I would want. My amazing, caring father, who spoiled me to no end.

"Whats Irina like?" I asked, directing my question to all members in the car. I looked behind my seat to Alice and Jasper who were snuggled together like teenagers in the back seat. Jasper grinned at me, "She is much like her sisters Darlin', a 'purist' she would call herself"

I crinkled my nose in confusion and looked up at my father, "Whats a purist?"

He chuckled, "Someone who insists with compliance of all rules and traditions" I nodded thoughtfully, I supposed there was nothing wrong with someone who adhered to the rules. "After the death of their brother, the sisters never strayed from the rules"

"An immortal child, who was killed alongside his mother" Jasper continued, "dangerous creatures, immortal children are"

"So I'm guessing she won't take too kindly to me then?" I asked my father who gripped the steering wheel tighter after my question. "You are nothing like those children"

I had obviously never seen an immortal child before but if they were to have rules about them, they must be dangerous.

I could see their home up ahead, despite my fears I was looking forward to seeing them all again.

The family met us outside, waving to us as our cars pulled up. Tanya made her way over to us first, wrapping me in her arms and touching dads shoulder before moving on to the next family member, I was embraced by Kate next, then Carmen and Eleazar who ushered us into the warmth of their home. I noticed Irina's absence.

"Wheres Irina?" I asked as the family moved into the living room.

"She's due to arrive within the hour, a short hunt before she met you" Tanya looked around the room and grinned at my family, "speaking of a short hunt, anyone up for one?"

Emmett jumped up immediately almost sprinting the back door, "Hell yeah, come on Jasper lets go kick some bear ass" Uncle Jas rolled his eyes before following him out, my father looked down at me, "I think I might go as well, I haven't been in a while" I looked up into his dark eyes, evidence of his lack of hunting. I nodded and gave him a small smile, "Hurry back," I said as he kissed my forehead and followed his brothers and Tanya out.

"How has everything been since we last saw each other?" Carmen directed the question to the family that was left in the room but grandfather answered her, "We've all been very well, Renesmee will be starting school soon, we look forward to sending her off"

Carmen smiled at me, "Excited?" She asked to which I grinned and nodded and response.

I caught Eleazar's' eye from across the room, he motioned for me to follow him out of the room. I followed his retreat and left my family to catch up in the living room, Eleazar stopped out the front of a set of double doors and I eyed him curiously, "Whats going on?"

He grinned at me before turning the handle, "Last time I spoke to your father he told me that you both had been working on your compositions" He swung the door open to reveal a piano, "We made sure to add a new one to our music room for when you visited again"

It wasn't just any piano, it was a Rönisch Model 186, a beautiful, and very expensive grand piano. "I can't imagine listening to all those old people outside is very fun"

I shook my head sheepishly and he chuckled, "Make yourself and home Renesmee, we'll all be outside if you need us"

I touched the keys softly and pressed one down, loving the perfectly tuned sound that came out, "Thank you so much Eleazar" I turned back to look at him.

"Anything for family Renesmee, Enjoy," He said as he left the room and closed the door behind him, I could have squealed, Dad's piano back home was beautiful, but nothing compared to this. A standard model of this piano costs upwards of $80,000.

I pressed the start of the chords of 'For the Love of a Princess', I closed my eyes feeling the music flow through me. This song had been the first of many my father taught me, it became one of my favourites quickly, I could play it till my fingers ached. I flowed from one song to the next, my mothers lullaby, a song I heard often.

From my mothers lullaby, to my grandmothers, one I had trouble getting the hang of for some reason. It flowed better then I had ever played it before and I beamed, finally nailing it. I hopped up from the bench and made my way out of the music room and down the hallway, I wanted Grandma to see that I had finally done it.

I stopped in my tracks when I saw a woman in the room. A woman I recognised. She looked up at me from her spot by the back door, she had obviously just arrived. Her golden eyes widened in surprised and then narrowed. Her hair was pale blond and dead straight, cut off just below her chin. Her fiery gaze didn't go unnoticed by my family. "Irina?" My grandfather questioned.

"Its you" She murmured in surprised. I didn't know what she meant. Had we met before. "I thought you were dead". She looked furious and made a move to step towards me when suddenly Uncle Emmett blocked my view from her. I saw my father step around him and towards her. "What is that supposed to mean" He hissed at her.

"No..." I peered around Emmett, to see my father stager back in shock from something he read in her mind, "You're the one who got her killed"

I gasped, I hoped he wasn't talking about who I thought he was.

"Edward what is going on?" Grandpa asked, stepping towards him slowly.

"She went to the Volturi and informed them that Renesmee was an immortal child" My head was spinning and tears gathered in my eyes. I knew I recognised her, she was there when I was hunting with mother, I only saw her for a second before she was gone. That was only days before I had to run from my home.

It was the Volturi that killed her, the people that came to our house. I turned out of the room and ran towards the guest bedroom on the other side of the house. Tears blurred my vision as I rifled through my bag to find my laptop. I needed answers, I needed retribution for my mother.

I googled Volterra, it was a small mountain top town in Tuscany. I immediately googled flights from the closest international airport. One was leaving in two hours. I could make that if I left now. They were going to see that they made a mistake, I was no Immortal child. They had murdered an innocent woman. I booked a ticket and grabbed my bag, not bothering to shove it in, I needed to leave now. I opened the window and climbed out and onto the roof.

I would have used the front door but if I went past the front door my father would notice me leaving. It was freezing outside, but I pushed it to the back of my mind and jumped off the roof and on to the soft snow before sprinting into the trees and away from that house. My father would be furious if he knew where I was going, but if he could leave to find my mothers killer then so could I.

Edward POV

I saw it in her mind, I saw her tell Aro what she saw. She couldn't have been more wrong. She was the reason my Bella was killed. I kicked at the glass coffee table and watched it shatter, I hadn't have thought of the Volturi, my efforts being so focused on Victoria. Carlisle tried to calm me but it was no use. I was furious.

Irina struggled against Jasper and Rosalie's grasp. Everyones thoughts invaded my mind, horrified at what she had done. "Edward I had no idea that she was a hybrid" She looked at me with pleading eyes, before looking over at her own family, "Please believe me"

"You didn't take the time to find out before you condemned my mate to death" I hissed, turning away from her.

"We need to go to Volterra, immediately" Carlisle looked at me with sympathy, I didn't need his pity.

"Edward, there is little that we can do now, we have no business antagonising the Volturi" He placed a hand on my shoulder, "From what Irina has told us, the assume Renesmee is dead, we don't need them finding out about her"

She had slipped my mind in all of my rage. Renesmee.

I whipped around, expecting her to be standing behind Emmett. "Where is she?" I growled. My brother looked at me with wide eyes, "She ran off to the guest room two hours ago just before the fighting started, I imagine she just needed some alone time"

The room went silent apart from Irina's struggling. No heartbeat. She wasn't here. "Emmett!" I roared, running towards her guest room, to find it empty as I had expected. Her laptop was flipped upside down on the floor, next to where her duffle bag filled with her clothes should have sat. I knew that because thats where I had set them down moments after we arrived.

I opened the laptop and groaned when I saw what she had viewed last in her browser.

Flight 3290 leaving For Florence Airport (FLR) Departing From Anchorage International Airport (ANC) at 10AM.

I had just missed her. I slammed my fist into the wall beside me and felt it cave in beneath the weight of the blow. She was going to Volterra, the one place I had prayed she would never visit, we had no chance in getting to her before she arrived.

I was going to lose my daughter and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
