Chapter 21

JPOV (Jaymaya)

I was at peace. Well….in some way I was at peace, he had gotten what he deserved. I ran to the city of Volterra. Why? Well I wasn't quite sure myself, the thing was, I couldn't home at least not yet. I had decided that I would stay here in Italy for a couple of years what better place than…Volterra with the Volturi. I had grown tiered of the battle and the treaty talk, I would wait here. No one seemed to notice my absence except for maybe the bronze haired one that stood beside the brunette who did nothing but stand during the whole thing. The guy was like her body guard and she stood and did nothing though I had a feeling she played a key role in the battle.

I had to say I almost laughed when Stefan asked for my help but I reconsidered. It was my chance to humiliate him, to betray him like he did me all those centuries ago. I remember the time clearly. It was the time Stefan and Vladimir were in reign, I was in a way a wife yet not really. I stood at his side but soon I came to a realization. He had me at his side for the sole convenience of it. He asked me to fight with him the time the Volturi took over and I refused. That was when the truth unraveled. He threw in my face there was no reason for me to be at his side if I didn't offer him anything. He used for sex, for power and for amusement. I swore to him that one day he would regret what he did. And I am happy to say he has regretted it.

I stood at the gates of Volterra, I could see the palace. It was nothing like Rome, this was a bit more subtle but equally intimidating. At the gate stood a cloaked figure, he looked up at my approach.

"The gates to the city will remain closed until tomorrow." He announced.

I scoffed. "Thanks." I stood there thinking of what to insert into his mind. My best shot was an early arrival from the guard. He didn't know everybody.

"Come in." He opened the gate and looked at me up and down. His eyes were empty, that was the pity in my talent. When I inserted my thoughts they disappeared momentarily.

I managed to get through 3 more guards the same way, Aro must have been worried. The city was silent and dark. I reached the palace and I saw a tall, blonde, male. He was…intriguing. He appealed to me. I smiled. "Hello."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Jaymaya, I assure you I mean no harm." I chose not to insert any thoughts. That would mean I would get an absent look. I didn't want that from him. "I'm waiting for your master, Aro."

"You're not supposed to be in the city."

"I know but I guarantee I've done all my killing for tonight." I appealed to him the same way he did me. "I think your master is very pleased with me, I might've given him an upper hand it today's battle."

"If that's the case you may wait inside."

"I hope to see you again." I said with a giggle and walked in. I was bombarded with the sound of cries and yells. I followed them into a room. There I saw a young girl, she smelled like a vampire but she had a heartbeat. Very odd, beside her on the couch sat a boy he smelled like those creatures out in the battlefield. Surrounding the girl were the wives, or so I assumed.

She hiccupped in between her cries. The wives looked up at my entrance. The brunette approached me first. "Who are you and who let you in?" She demanded.

"I'm waiting for Aro, Marcus and Caius. Don't look at me like that. I think I won the battle for you guys. You should be thanking me."

"Jaymaya." The blonde stood.

"That's me. May I ask what is going on here? She seems familiar." I looked at her. Her hair color her eyes, her features were very familiar.

"She's a half vampire, half human, daughter of Edward and Bella Cullen. The mind reader and the talent shield." The brunette answered.

Shield, talent shield, that's what she was. Now I see the resemblance between the male and her. But the half and half thing was really interesting.

"Why is she crying?" Not that I cared but the girl was falling apart.

The blonde looked down at her shamefully. "Her husband or mate I don't know what you would call him but he was hurt apparently. He's in a grave condition."

"A vampire is either dead or alive." I said with confusion.

The brunette smiled. "She's married to a wolf, the alpha wolf."

"Oh she's a total case, never heard of anything like it. They smell disgusting. No offense kid." I said to the boy, he shrugged.

The girl seemed to have regained composure and she stood up to look up at me. "You were there, did you see him?"

She was so direct it kinda bewildered me. "Is he the really big one, the rusty brown?" He was the first to attack, caught my attention.

"Yes."

"I saw him but not in the end…actually he was with another one and a vampire male, I'm not actually sure what happened." I confessed. My softer side came out, poor girl she was desperate and I felt sort of bad for her.

She ran her hands through her hair, frustrated. "I have to go find him." She stood up off the ground and saw something that probably topped the night of surprises, she was pregnant. How eerie can this get? The girl is half vampire, married to the alpha werewolf and apparently having his child. The family was all kinds of odd. The dad fell in love with a human and then turned her….talk about drama.

She stood up and pushed past us all. "Um…they're still out there it's not quite officially over. Just a thought, I don't think she should be going. That's just me though." I said with a shrug.

NPOV (Nessie)

I pushed past the new vampire and headed towards the door. I had to find him, he had to be okay.

I opened the door and there remained the blonde vampire. I tried to walk by as if he wasn't there. "You can't leave."

"The hell I can, you can't stop me." I tried to take another step but he blocked my path. "You can't do this. He's dying you can't keep me from him." I tried to control my tears.

"Renesmee." I looked behind the guard and saw Jasper.

"He's okay, right? He's okay." I begged for an answer. His expression was nothing. Rose and Emmett, Esme and Alice wore the same face. "Where is he?"

I felt a wave of calm hit me. "Don't Jasper! Where is he? I demand to know."

Alice stepped around Jasper and in front of me. "You have to wait."

"He's alive, right?"

She nodded. "He's still alive. Carlisle and your parents stayed behind with part of the pack. They can't move him until they feel his rib has healed and is no longer an obstruction to his breathing. He has a lot of injuries that need to heal. But he is alive."

"I…I ne…I want to see him, I need to go, please."

"Sweetie, you need to rest, you can see him tomorrow." Esme soothed.

"He's alive now, is he going to be alive tomorrow?" I demanded fearing the answer. No one said a word, and that was what I feared most. "Don't do this to me."

"We'll call Edward but it's far and the best thing you can do is wait." Jasper insisted.

"I want to see him." I insisted.

Rose sighed. "Nessie, just wait, I know it's hard but they just decided to leave, the surviving ones. Just wait until we call your father."

"Nessie, this isn't just about you." Emmett reminded me.

I shook my head. "I need him to stay alive. I need to be with him." Behind me the wives joined us. They helped the rest of my family get me inside.

EPOV (Edward)

"Carlisle, he's going to live right?" I asked. His thoughts were unclear.

He hesitated to answer me. "I…uh…"

"No, Carlisle, he has to live. I can't go back and tell my daughter he died. Do something." I begged.

"Edward I can't know anything. I am afraid if we move him it will complicate his injuries. His breathing is staggered, his lung is most likely punctured and if doesn't heal fast out here he can get pneumonia. I'm sure he has other internal injuries, those take longer to heal. We have to wait." Pneumonia is the last thing that needs to happen, he needs to heal, and he needs to go back to my daughter. He can't leave her.

"Is going to live?" Bella asked.

He looked away. "I hope so." He whispered. That wasn't good enough, I needed an, I know so.

He had been clothed and he lay on his back on the bridge over the river.

He had briefly come to. He groaned in pain. "Don't let her…" He paused to catch his breath, "see me like this, please." He didn't stay long he eventually faded out again. He was delirious. We were there for about an hour until I got a call from Alice.

"Yes."

"Edward, what do we do with her, she's hell bent on seeing him and we can only stop her for so long."

"He doesn't want her to see him, stall her." I replied.

She sighed. "Is he going to be okay?"

"I hope so." I muttered repeating Carlisle's words.

"I hope so." She hissed. "That's not good enough. Edward, do something."

"Alice I want to, I want to do something but what can I possibly do? No one can do anything until he heals and I don't know when that's going to be. Whatever you do you stop her from coming here. I don't care what you have to do, Alice, but stop her." I warned. "I do not want her here, she needs to stay there until, at the very least, morning.

Suddenly he began to cough like crazy. He came back to and he tried to sit up but obviously he couldn't. His breathing was still short.

"Jacob?" Carlisle asked.

"Yeah." He replied almost inaudibly.

"Does your chest hurt?"

"Everything….hurts."

"In particular your chest does it get worse when you breath and cough?"

"Yeah." He said breathless.

Carlisle sighed. "Symptoms of pneumonia." He murmured. Great, simply fantastic.

OOOHHH! IDK why I did Jaymaya's POV I just thought it would be interesting. I will only be changing the POV for Jacob now, randomly. I have to share my new discovery. It's not really a discovery but it's a good discovery for ME I just downloaded the new All American Reject's CD, it's a great album, I LOVE IT!! Just had to share, leave your love. I'm actually listening to it right now.

I hear people are mad at me, I think it goes a little like "NO NO NO YOU CAN'T KILL JACOB. WHAT'S WRONG WITH U?" Yeah I've gotten like a bunch with those exact words. I'm not a happy ending kinda girl, not really, but am I that horrible?

You'll get your answer next chapter. You all probably know the answer.

The more feedback the faster I am able to edit, it gives me motivation.
