Never Mattered

(Renesmee's POV)

Chelsea launched at me and I was grateful my family let me continue my training. My legs seem to get a mind of there own. They worked like I was going under the limbo bar. Squatting low to the ground.

I extended by back like I was laying on a bed, but my back didn't hit the ground. Chelsea flew right over me. I could see her clearly so when her feet were above me I grabbed her ankles and pushed them up into the air.

I straightened up as I saw Chelsea try to do a summer sault to stop form losing her balance. It ended up in a cartwheel. She was still squatting when I attacked her. We tumbled and I slammed her shoulder with my fist. We all heard a crack.

Chelsea let out a shrill screech as I flipped to my feet. She got up a bit slowly for a vampire and snarled at me. She ran at me and I jumped into the air like I did for climbing trees. I grabbed a branch high up and sat in a squat on it.

They almost looked like ants down there. Chelsea looked everywhere, but up. The Volturi were becoming baffled as well. I swear even from there I could see the smirk on my parents' and uncle Jasper's face.

I leaped to the roof with out a sound except for a few rustling leaves. I made it to the roof before anyone noticed. "Where is she?" Casius demanded.

I air dove for Chelsea while shouting "Looking for me?" and tackled her. She pushed me off easier this time and attacked. We fought each other fiercely. Bones were breaking, some mine some hers. when she tackled me down two of my ribs were broken and one of my arms.

My family and friends were tensing as Chelsea raised her hand; ready to pound my face or rip it off. In that second something surged through me.

I felt stronger than I'd ever dreamed of. I felt more cunning and more fierce then I'd ever thought was possible for me. I felt like I was invincible.

In that same second I knew my transformation was complete. My heart still beat the same. But I realized that wasn't the point. It never mattered if my heart stopped or not for my transformation. I was...complete.

Chelsea brought her hand down in the next second and I caught it easily. She shrieked defiance as I gripped it and her wrist snapped.

I ripped her hand off and threw it into the woods. She screamed in pain and I kicked her off, sending her into a tree. My bones no longer felt broken, I didn't think they were.

There were gasps as I smiled a smile that reminded me of my father's when he fights. I slipped into a crouch and growled.

Chelsea ran at me and I flipped her, ripping her arm off in the process. "Your only half vampire! how is this possible!" Chelsea screamed at me from the ground.

I threw her arm at the Volturi's feet. I smiled darkly at her "Just because I'm half human, doesn't mean I don't enjoy the thrill of the kill" I whispered to her and grabbed her by her hair.

I slammed her into the tree. I glared at the Volturi and Aro and Casius seemed anxious. My suspicions were correct. I kill Chelsea, whoever she influenced to join the Volturi is set free from her spell.

I gripped Chelsea's hair tighter and ripped her head off. I threw her head into the middle of the space between the two parties.

I snapped her arm off that still had her hand just incase and chucked it. I tossed the body to the ground and placed a foot on it.

I looked at the Volturi "A deal's a deal" I reminded them. Suddenly all the Volturi guard were groaning. It only looked like Jane, Alec, and Renata were still intact.

The Volturi guard groaned and I saw Demetri throw off his deep grey cloak. he looked around dazed and confused. Felix followed his motion and so did every vampire that had groaned.

"Where are we?" a female asked looking around. They all turned and saw Aro and Casius and dozens of growls escaped their throats.

"You!" the all said simultaneously. "Everyone please stay calm..." Aro tried to reason, looking terrified for the first time in his existence. "You knew this would happen!" Casius snarled at me.

"No, really?" I asked, sarcastic. "I'll kill you, for killing my wife!" Demetri growled, slinking toward them. "Jane..." Aro was saying her name like a signal. Jane smiled at the former Volturi guards and they all screamed in pain.

"Kate!" my mom said urgently.

Kate was suddenly there, shocking Jane and she screamed. The five remaining Volturi ran and a few ran after them. Demetri looked at us, confused.

"Who are you" he asked, breathing hard. "The ones who saved you" Grandpa Carlisle spoke firmly. "We've done horrible things, haven't we?" Felix looked regretful.

I nodded "Yes, but what Aro and Casius did to you was worse and that's why we're letting you go "I whispered, looking down. Everyone of my family and friends nodded. Some left, heading the same way the Aro and Casius had. Probably to seek revenge.

"We'll spread word of what you all did" Felix promised. "It was really Renesmee" my mother said placing her hands on my shoulders.

"Everyone of you and your family shall be known, you deserve it" Demetri insisted. Wee all heard Jacob bark three times. "He said, 'in that case their last names are Cullen'" My father chuckled.

Then they all disappeared heading in different directions. I saw Vladimir and Stefan go in the direction the ones who were hunting the Volturi members down.

"We did it!" I shouted. And everyone rejoiced.

(Jacob's POV)

None of the bloodsuckers stuck around for long. They all headed off, but said they'd spread the word, too. Nessie had talked about how she just knew she stopped aging.

I remembered I had been secretly afraid she'd stop aging at seven and end up with that Nahuel kid. but when she wrote me in a letter and told me she grown at eight years old a little hope grew.

When she wrote she had turned fourteen a seed of hope had been formed. She had stopped aging and I realized I could be with her like all the other wolves who had imprinted.

I was in my human form, with Leah, Quil, Seth and Embry watching the corpse burn. It worked out good. I'd be hanging around vampires for a long time I guess, so no chance in me aging, it was a wolf thing.

We all heard the sliding glass door open and their was Nessie.

As if on cue the others disappeared into the woods. "Hi" she whispered. "Hey" I smiled at her. "Grandpa Carlisle took my friends home, so we've got some time for ourselves" she said cheerfully, bouncing over to me.

"Well, mostly" I corrected glancing into the house where her parents and every other vampire that loved her would be listening in.

"Its finally over" she mused, leaning into me. I wrapped my arms around her gently. "Yeah, finally" I agreed, hugging her closer to me.

"I love you, Jacob" Nessie murmured, looking up at me. "You've already said that" I reminded her. "Not to your human face, and it feels good to do so" she told me, smiling.

I placed a strand of her curly bronze hair back into its place. "Well then, I love you, too" I said happily looking at her with a stupid grin. She reached up and locked her arms around my neck.

I picked her up so she wouldn't have to reach so hard and kissed her.

And nothing else ever mattered. Except her.
