He sighed in defeat as our daughter reached my side, her soft, warm hand slipping in to mine.
"Mom, Dad? What's wrong?" She whispered, her chocolate eyes wide, "What is going on?"
"There is another vampire in this school." Edward stated quietly, before I could even open my mouth to respond. His voice was composed, his face a smooth mask in an effort to appear calm in front of our daughter. I felt Renesme stiffen beside me, her breath coming in short, terrified gasps. Like us, she knew what the presence of another vampire could mean. I squeezed her hand gently, pulling her close to my side, stroking her bronze head soothingly. There was nobody left in the hallways to witness my moment of maternal instinct-they had all hurried off to class in an attempt not to be late. Edward's arms came around us both, holding us firmly to his chest, while Alice rubbed her back tenderly. The nasally sound of the bell echoed throughout the hallway, the clamor that had been emanating from the occupied classrooms nearby quieted almost immediately.
"It'll all work out okay, you'll see," I murmured softly into her hair, inhaling her sweet scent. "Everything will be fine,"
"Is it the Volturi?" she choked out, her voice tight with fear. I stared into her wide, frightened brown eyes-exactly the same chocolate shade mine had been- wishing more than anything that I could erase the terror buried in their brown depths. But false comfort would be of no use to her if there really was a danger-at least that is what I was telling myself.
"No," Edward answered firmly, his soft, musical voice reassuring her where I could not. "I can tell it's not the Volturi. It is a teacher, a male. He is running through his next lesson-our biology class- right now, I am absolutely cer-"He cut off abruptly, his body becoming a rigid bolder, shattering his calm façade. I stopped breathing altogether as I waited anxiously for what I was certain he had just "heard" from this mysterious threat.
"He is like us…" Edward whispered incredulously, "He was just thinking about what he would hunt tonight. Deer, he decided on deer." A stunned silence followed Edward's announcement as we all though about what this new assertion implied.
"He might not be a danger then at all." I said slowly, keeping my voice a low murmur. "This is probably his home. Technically we would be viewed as the threat to him; we have, after all, encroached on his territory if he does in fact live here."
"Hmmm," Edward mused, his face thoughtful, "Well he is not yet aware of our presence. He can't smell us since he has not left the portable once today."
"I don't see anything happening, although with Nessie here it is difficult to tell," Alice offered. "Give me a second though." Her eyes glazed over as she focused intently on something that had yet to happen, the vacant look fading slowly from her blank face as her mind gradually returned to the present. Edward nodded satisfactorily, looking down at Nessie's head, his face calculating.
"I can't see exactly what will happen, because all of our decisions right now are too entwined with Renesme. However I do see us sitting around the living room later tonight, when Nessie and Jake are asleep and everything seems alright." Alice explained to Renesme and me.
"Well I think we should go to class," I said finally, after a moment's hesitation. "We should continue like before, if we leave now people are bound to wonder what happened. Nessie can still go to her party after school," I mused aloud, "I am sure she'll be in less danger surrounded by humans if this new vampire really does have a permanent residence here. He will want to remain inconspicuous. As long as Jake stays hidden and keeps an eye out I think she'll be fine." I looked at Edward, who nodded slowly, his face uncomfortable. I stared at him and raised my eyebrows, a silent gesture meaning that since he had already agreed to this before he really couldn't relinquish his permission now. He shrugged once, looking resigned.
"I am going to call Carlisle and Esme, they should know about this. And then of course I am going to have to tell Jazz, Emmett and Rose too," Alice said decidedly, purposely ignoring the conversation between Edward and me.
"How are you going to let them know? They're all in class!" Renesme asked curiously, her fear all but forgotten now that we knew the Volturi were not here to kill us.
"Via text messaging, of course! You have to love technology!" Alice replied blissfully, winking conspicuously at Renesme.
"Which is something you never do in class Renesme unless it is an immediate emergency!" Edward interceded firmly, throwing a warning glance at Alice.
"Absolutely," Alice agreed, her face solemn, eyes widening innocently, "I would never suggest otherwise!" She winked mockingly at Nessie once more, before dancing back down the hall. Edward shook his head disapprovingly, as his eyes trailed after our favourite sister.
"I mean it Renesme, if I catch you once so much as thinking about using your phone in school, you will be in trouble!" Edward repeated sternly, turning around to look her in the eye. She nodded once, her lower lip jutting out in a pout.
"It sucks having your dad read your mind!" she muttered huffily.
Edward smiled at that, resting his hand gently on the top of her head.
"Yeah it does," he agreed, my favourite crooked grin spreading across his face.
"I think you should go to class now, sweetie. Just tell them you got lost as an excuse." I told her, smiling gently.
"Okay," she turned to leave before suddenly placing her hand softly on my cheek. I love you both. Very much.
"We love you too honey. Have a good class!" I whispered, holding her close for a moment before releasing her. Edward kissed her softly on her pale forehead, before she dashed down the hallway towards her next lesson. I watched her go until she reached the end, and with a quick wave disappeared around the corner.
"Are you ready?" Edward asked softly, reaching his hand out to me.
"Of course," I said, taking his smooth hand, "We can take on anyone, as long as we're together." He laughed softly, pushing open the door leading outside. But even as the words left my mouth, I let the elastic band of my shield stretch out to envelop him tightly.
