Carlisle turned to face Kitty. "You shouldn't leave the house."
Kitty stood frozen there for a moment then stalked towards him, her movements rigid with rage. "I'm grounded?" she spat in disbelief.
Carlisle shifted uncomfortably. "Well, if you put it that way..."
"Think of it this way," Emmett interjected unhelpfully "you can stay here or get your head ripped off by the Volturi."
Kitty rolled her eyes. "Thanks, bro, that really helps."
"Anytime," Emmett replies, grinning.
Esme reached over and guided Kitty towards the sofa. "It's for your own safety. We're not sure if you can handle being around any quantity of blood yet."
Kitty sighed, feeling depressed. She sat silently until Edward told her that everyone else was going off to hunt. Bella called Jacob and he and Kitty would watch Renesmee, although, from the looks on everyone's face, Kitty knew she would be the one to be watched.
