Chapter 4: Intolerant patience
I turned my face to Jacob and I glared at him in anger. I could feel my eyes flaring at him, as he simply put his head down in apology.
Before when Seth had rushed to help Jacob fight, he probably left her somewhere, where he thought, was safe. Apparently, that place wasn't so safe after all. I was furious. I was furious, not with Seth, but with Jacob. If Jacob had listened to me from the start, then Renesmee would not be in Aro's arms, nor would Jacob have been injured during this battle.
Aro stroked Renesmee's hair slowly. I wish I could see her face, whether she was quailing (trembling with fear) or even indifferent.
Everyone was completely motionless. The guards faced towards us, snarling.
As soon as Aro smirked at Renesmee and pursed his lips in thought, I shot out into the middle of the field. Edward immediately yelled out, "Bella! You…" He was cut off by Jacob's sudden growl and I felt the ground vibrate. I turned my head and he was behind me, in complete willingness to defend Renesmee.
I ran without thinking about anything else but of Renesmee. I didn't know what Aro was thinking, but it didn't matter. Aro should be the last person to hold Renesmee.
Instantly, I heard the others snarl behind me. Jacob and I were no longer the only impatient ones running to save Renesmee.
As the Volturi guards charged towards us, with all my strength, I pushed against the opposing air,* creating a rippled view of the air, pushing the Volturi guards. They flew dragging across the ground, leaving Aro unprotected.
(*If you don't know what I mean by Bella pushing out the air, if you have watched the movie, The Covenant, you would know exactly what I'm talking about. The 4 friends have special powers and Steven Strait, the main character, fights by sort of making a hand motion of pushing the air away from him, while there's this rippled effect of air forming from his hands. As he pushes this "ball of air" foward, the ball of air shoots at the bad guy, and it hits and pushes the bad guy at the stomach, making him fly off to the other side. Similarly, after forming this rippled effect of ball of air, Bella pushes this "ball of air" forward; it expands greatly about a several yards wide, covering a lot of the width of the field, or wherever, and pushing them back with a lot of force, where…they fly off.)
Emmett then laughed at how immediately the guards were gotten rid of by my powers and said, "Ha. Problem solved."
Actually, no, this was now the main problem. How would we go about getting Renesmee off Aro's hands? He could threaten us that he would hurt Renesmee if we came any closer. Obviously. We needed a plan…but there was no time.
Aro looked up and started laughing.
"Hahaha. My dear friends, no harm intended. I was simply admiring this child. Poor child, she was left abandoned behind the trees,"
I then glared at Seth, my nose still flaring from anger.
"She was telling me all about the family and friends. I have much to learn…"
The Volturi guards started recovering from their fall and getting up to protect their unprotected "master." Jacob snapped at them, as if they were right in front of him.
Aro continued, "Hence," He looked around at each and every one of us, examining our faces, "I have decided that…this baby is no harm or danger after all. I believe I have been greatly mistaken." He then smiled and walked closer to hand her to me.
Then, Caius immediately ran towards us in anger as Edward ran towards him and ripped his head off.
Aro, as if nothing had happened, continued to walk towards me and handed Renesmee to me, as he said, "I wish this family great fortune."
I was absolutely absorbed into the feeling of having Renesmee back, everyone perfectly alive. A few of Jacob's "friends" were injured, but they heal fast. A few of our other vampire friends were injured, but they seemed more than happy to see all of us alive. They seemed to have no regret at all. They seemed happy that Edward and I, once again, had the one thing that we all fought this war for…Renesmee.
Edward stroked her hair, with the worry gone from his eyes, as the Volturi slowly disappeared into the forest. I kept kissing her forehead, glad that my family was together again. Jacob had shifted back to his human form, while some of the others stayed in their wolf form, doubting the Volturi.
Carlisle then suddenly spoke, "My friends," He gave a wide smile, "Let's go home. Our home."
We all slowly walked towards the house. Edward and I decided to stop by "our" home, and gave Renesmee to Jacob to take her to the main house.
As soon as we entered "our" house, or modernized cabin, should I say, Edward immediately pulled me against his chest and hugged me.
Then he said, "Bella, I was so worried, I…I couldn't think of anything else but worry about you getting hurt. I … I don't know what I would've done if you weren't in perfect shape right now…Oh Bella, thank God you…"
I cut him off and kissed him as I put my arms around his neck, and said, "I love you I love you I love you."
I was happier than ever. Excluding the moment I saw Renesmee for the first time, I was so happy to be with Edward again. I anticipated this moment of peace with Edward. We could live happily once again, without any worries. We had so much time to us.
All that was left was our family, and forever.
THE END
