I do not own Twilight or its characters. Stephenie Meyer does.

CH 51 Irresistible and Talented.

Esme took the book and started to read the next chapter. "The chapter is called Irresistible," she said with a smile.

"Must be talking about little Renesmee," Rose said with a smile.

The chapter started out with book Bella worried about a bunch of things. I felt Edward hold on to me tightly.

"Well, I might be able to answer one of your questions. Since you have not been acting like a newborn, I would say with training you would be able to hold your own in a normal fight. Except the Volturi are in the collective for a reason, so even if you were trained you would still have a tough time fighting them. We all would, including myself if I was there," Jasper answered tersely. He wasn't upset with my bookself thoughts from earlier was he? I was feeling bad for upsetting them.

"I guess this means I get to train you after all." Emmett smiled at me. He looked genuinely excited. I gave him a small smile back as I heard Edward groan.

However, when book Bella went to talk to Edward about some of her questions, he had other plans for the two of them.

"Trying to distract me?" I giggled while blushing at the same time; Edward smiled sheepishly. "Maybe, or I might have been trying to distract myself." Although his reasons in the book had me fighting back tears. This really wasn't going to be the end for us right? It was after all the last book. I was still all out hoping for a happily ever after. I wanted more than a few short months.

Book Bella asked Edward to teach her how to fight in the book. He hesitantly agreed to not wanting to leave her defenseless. I noticed Edward frown slightly. I knew he doesn't like the idea of me fighting, when he is so use to defending me.

Book Bella was starting to wonder about the advantages of the Volturi. Edward explained Alec's powers. After that my bookself was wondering about her chances against Alec. Edward pinched the bridge of his nose; I could tell he was on the verge of going into his overprotective mode.

"I guess it should be explained that even though we might be incapacitated, the members of the guard wouldn't be. Therefore you may have to look out for members like Felix or Demetri." Jasper informed me. Crap! I thought I am not sure my bookself thought about that.

"Huh, that might be a little bit of a problem," I admitted out loud.

"Only a little?" Emmett snickered, Edward groaned.

Book Bella was going through her mind on who to attack next.

"Save some for the rest of us, Bella," Emmett snickered. I rolled my eyes and blushed. Emmett was happy later when he heard I was saving Felix for him.

"That will be a good fight." He smiled happily.

Edward in the book wanted Demetri. I saw him nod in affirmation. He got Alice's eyes and seemed to have a conversation with her; where he gave her a brief smile.

"If he was gone, more than just Alice and Jasper would be safe. Hopefully someone can run with Renesmee," Carlisle agreed looking worried.

The chapter in the book turned to Eleazar.

"He is a very good man. We would be lucky to have him on our side," Carlisle appraised his old friend.

The chapter went on to explain how Eleazar was able to leave without a fuss.

"Let's put in this way, Aro didn't want him to leave, but he couldn't force him to stay." Even Edward seemed optimistic enough that if we had enough witnesses the Volturi would stop. That had to be a good sign.

"You wouldn't have to fear the Denalis fighting any of us. They would probably turn away, refusing to help if anything," Edward rubbed my shoulders.

"I wouldn't suggest anyone who I knew could have that reaction," Alice confirmed. Since her and Jasper ran away in the book, she had been less then cheerful herself.

"I love the irony of Jacob now lying to Renesmee to spare her, when he used to complain that Edward was doing it to Bella." Emmett smirked.

My bookself told her the truth; then Renesmee blamed herself, which the three of us there disclaimed right away.

"I sure hope everyone understands," Rose looked nervous.

"An option that they may want to look at if Bella and Edward want to have a baby. We can let the Denalis see her while she's still pregnant," Carlisle mentioned.

"Or maybe somewhere remote enough no one can find us for a few years." Esme suggested. I instantly felt bad that my want for this baby girl could make the family go into hiding.

"You can never just straight out tell people things? You always need to be cryptic," I said to Edward, looking up at him. Edward in the book took awhile getting to the point with the Denali clan.

"Part of my charm, I'd say." He gazed down giving me a crooked smile. I giggled and shook my head.

"Maybe it would be best if Jacob isn't there right away," Jasper questioned at Tanya's hesitance with him.

I was a little surprised by the Denalis reaction to Renesmee; they almost seemed frightened of her. After this was over someone was really going to have to tell me the full story of the immortal children.

"Yes, it really was that bad. Which is why they are reacting the way that they are," Jasper answered my unasked question.

"They are overreacting though. They should know better than to think that we would bring them into a situation like that unprepared," Emmett scowled.

It was true, at first it didn't seem like they wanted to believe us about Renesmee. It was Carmen that was willing to believe first.

"I am not surprised that Carmen is the first to believe and to be so trusting," Esme said with a smile.

One by one Renesmee showed the others her gift in her chapter. After Renesmee's vision they slowly came to see the truth.

"I can see why they would be so shocked with Irina's actions. I am just glad that they believed us on them." Carlisle sighed.

"Eleazar seems stumped on the other answer on why they are all coming for us." Edward frowned. I knew, like me, he wanted more answers.

"Good, they are going to stand with us," Rose looked pleased.

"They will even stay to fight by our side if necessary." Emmett looked equally happy as did most of the Cullens with the exception of two.

"I'm glad we have them. But sorry they feel like they owe it to us to risk their lives," Carlisle said with a grim smile.

The chapter ended with Book Bella's hope disappearing once again, when she remembered Alice had left.

"I'm sorry, everyone," the pixie looked crestfallen.

"You can't apologize for something you haven't done." I told her. She nodded as she took the book from Esme.

"The title of this chapter is called, Talented." Alice said, her voice sounding meek.

"I see we are going to avoid the whole 'I imprinted on a baby' with the other vampires," Emmett snickered.

"I doubt it would go over well with anyone who doesn't understand them. It doesn't even sit well with us," I mentioned.

"Interesting indeed. Renesmee has Eleazar bewildered and Bella can block him as well," Carlisle's eyes sparkled with amusement.

I smiled when Eleazar was impressed that my talent was so strong when I was a human.

"You know what this means right?" Jasper looked at Edward, after Eleazar mentioned that he can search for talents like myself for Aro. Edward growled.

"They want my Bella," He hissed venomously.

"Well they can't have me." I put my hand to his cheek.

"Not too much different then we were already thinking," Carlisle was nodding at Eleazar's classification of me of what I can do. "I think Bella is going to be pretty powerful one by seeing how Eleazar is impressed.

"So Renata is a physical shield, she will be another to look out for," Emmett was calculating in his head the threats from the Volturi.

"Bella might be the only one that can kill her though, just like Alec," Rose added in, looking grim.

"Majority of the gifts take place in the mind?" I asked.

"It would appear, so why?" Carlisle asked.

"I was just curious about Jasper and Alice then, because if theirs is diverted from their minds and can still affect me then I might lose to Renata too." I told him what I was thinking.

"I think you could get through her shield, because her shield isn't like a force shield. It's like a mind distracter shield that gives the illusion to be physical." Jasper informed me.

"Your super-self control may not be your power after all. Just how you naturally adapt. You adapt well with our world before as a human, perhaps you carried that on and it was amplified when you were made a vampire." Edward answered book Bella's question in the book.

"Project my shield? Do you think I will be able to do that?" I started to get excited.

"That would be outstanding," Carlisle looked equally exciting.

"If you're able to project, it would take time to learn to do so. I am not sure if you would be able to learn in time. It would definitely need to take a lot of training," Jasper told us, his voice lacking emotion. "I should be there" I thought I heard him mutter. Alice reached over and squeezed his hand.

"So Bells….I can call you Bells right?" Emmett started, immediately I was suspicious.

"Sure, I guess you can. What do you want?" I heard Edward chuckle behind me.

"So, say you can do this projecting thingy with your shield. Would you willing to help me out by using it on me so Edward has to play fair?" Emmett gave me Alice's puppy dog face.

"Why would I do that?" I cocked an eyebrow. Did he seriously think I will let him hurt Edward, even if it was for fun?

"Because he never fights fair," Emmett pouted.

"It's not like I can turn it off," Edward rolled his eyes.

"But see that is where Bells comes in," Emmett looked like he just solved the biggest problem. "So Bells, pleassssssssseeeeeeee!

"Only if Edward is okay with it. That is even if I can do that in the first place." I decided, Edward smiled proudly and Emmett gave a huff. Rose patted him on the arm.

Alice started to read again as Kate explained to me about her power. My bookself was excited to learn she wanted to be able to protect our family.

"So she would be like touching an electric fence?" I asked.

"Yes," Edward answered a little tersely, he wasn't pleased that Kate tried to shock me.

"She wouldn't have tried to hurt Bella. It was probably an automatic reaction from being grabbed," Alice announced softly.

While book Bella was hoping that she could learn how to project; Edward and Eleazar were having their own discussion. It seemed that Eleazar was coming to conclusions about the Volturi that he didn't like. Eleazar was coming to discover a pattern with Aro and getting what he wants, with discovering a crime being committed by the coven he wanted it from.

"So Aro has done this before," Carlisle looked darker then normal.

"This power that Chelsea has, maybe that is why Alice and Jasper fled. What if she saw that Chelsea would turn them against us," Rose looked hopeful, it had been apparent like the rest of us she did want to believe that they could really leave us.

"That is definitely plausible. It seems Chelsea hasn't had a problem before breaking up covens and turning members against each other. Alice would be high on his list to get." Edward frowned.

"I don't believe we would rather leave then fight against or family. It would kill me to do so." Alice bit her lip.

"Myself as well," Jasper agreed solemnly.

"So they are all coming because they think they need so many to fight against us; that they would be leaving themselves unprotected back at the tower. In a way that is kind of flattering, perhaps we might have a chance after all," Emmett looked hopeful.

It wasn't long after that in the chapter that both book Bella realized that Alice left because she was the source that Aro was after. Alice seemed to breathe a little easier.

"Maybe if what Aro wants isn't here anymore and he thinks we believe that Alice and Jasper left us for good, he would have no reason to harm us once he realizes Renesmee isn't an immortal child." I smiled.

"So they left to save us. But, that is what Edward did in New Moon and it turned to be the wrong thing to do." Rose argued. Edward flinched and buried his head in my hair. I turned to hug him tight and kiss his cheek. I didn't want him to beat himself up over this anymore.

"Rose," Esme said in a warning tone.

"I didn't say it to be mean, just to make a point," she said softer.

"Yes, but Edward wouldn't allow me to look forward to see the results last fall. This time I probably did." Alice spoke with conviction. I know she wanted a good reason for the both of them to leave.

Jasper looked over at Edward and I huddled together on the couch.

"Are you telling me that you don't think he is going to use Bella and Renesmee against you to join the Volturi?" Jasper asked him. Edward's eyes harden he, growled pulling me tight to his chest.

"He would have empty threats though. We have done nothing wrong, to persuade me to join them to save them from being punished." Edward voice sounded toneless.

"Eleazar's right though. Aro will want to add Bella to the guard if he knew what she can do; perhaps even more than you." Jasper continued as Edward's arms froze in their hold around me. I knew if it was me, I would sacrifice myself for them, just like my bookself.

The chapter ended with Peter and Charlotte arriving.

"So Alice and I must have found them and sent them to you," Jasper appeared thoughtful.

"How do you think are they going to react to Renesmee?" I asked, a little concerned from the Denalis' first reaction.

"I can't say for sure. They don't care for fighting. They wouldn't react harshly. They would be either willing to help be witnesses or they will leave not causing any conflict," Jasper seemed sure of his friends.

"One way to find out," Carlisle replied taking the book from Alice.
