On My Fathers Wings
Chapter 2; Breakaway
Renesmee POV
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
A few minutes later, my mother stormed back into the sitting room, followed by Grandpa Carlise and, a surprisingly quiet, Aunt Rosalie.
"No! We have to leave now! I don't want her to see them again!" Mom shouted, coming over and taking my hand without looking at me. Again? My mouth opened to speak, but Carlisle spoke first.
"Theres no time Bella.. For all we know, they could come in a matter of hours." He said, calm but getting stressed. His eyes closed in frustration as he paced the perimeter of the large sitting room. Alice came back from Carlisle office, still carrying the bag containing Charlies suit. Her face blank and in shock.
"They are." She said quietly. Everyone turned to look at my small aunt. I heard my Grandma Esme gasp, as she stepped into the room, obviously understanding everything; unlike me.
"What? Who are coming?" I asked quickly, raising my voice. Only Mom looked at me, the rest of my family still had their eyes glued to Alice, as though she was a ghost. Her pale skin to match. Carlisle moved over to Alice and clutched her shoulders, ignoring my questions.
"What did you see? We must know Alice." Carlisle spoke frantically, giving Alice hardlyy any time to answer.
"It.. It was early, like now. About 9am I would say. We were sat here. Same clothing. Same everything. They're coming today." She answered him, he voice horse and shaking.
My mom used her other hand to cover her mouth as she breathed a quick gasp.
"We need Sam. He will know what to do." Billy said firmly, scooting himself over to the nearest phone. Sam? Now who was he?! I saw both Charlie, Mom and Carlisle nod.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on?!" I said louder, standing up, dropping my Moms hand.
"Nessie.." My Aunt Rosalies voice answered me, coming to stand in front of me. She placed one icy cold hand on my flushed cheek and looked into my eyes. Her expression was worried.. scared. Whatever was happening wasn't good. Whatever was happening had happened before. Rosalie lokoed at my mom before speaking.
"Nessie. Some people are coming here tonight. Vampires. We don't want you worrying anymore than you are now.. But we need to keep you safe."
I listened intently to every word. She continude. "These vampires. Theyre called.. The Volturi. They've come from Italy." By now, she had both my hands in hers.
"10 Years ago. When you were about 4 months, they came. They.." She gulped. "They killed your father.. But they wanted to kill you."
I didn't move. But I was shaking. My lips parted slightly as what she said sunk into my head. 'They killed you father.' My father was.. murdered.
"He died trying to save you Renesmee. They thought you were an immortal child, and those are against the rules of the Volturi. We tried to reason with them. But they didn't listen. A fight broke out and your father.. He..-- But now. They've come back. We're not entirely sure why, but we have our theories." She finished quietly.
"W-What are we g-going to do?" I stuttered, in shock.
Billy came over to me, reaching to put a hand on my shoulder.
"Sam Uley is coming. He lives at La Push with his wife Emily. He.." He looked at my mom, who shook her head. Billy sighed "He sort of looks after us folks at La Push. He knows about.. You and your family." He carried on.
"Alright.. This is too much." I grunted, sitting back down on the sofa, putting my head in my hands, and resting my elbows on my knees. Emmett rubbed my back and told me it was 'going to be Ok', but we all knew this wasn't true. My mom walked over to Charlie, who was obviously uncomfortable. Poor Charlie. He had only just gotten used to this noncence; and now all this. My mom whispered something to Charlie, who nearly protested, then agreed. With a sigh he came over and took my hand to pull me up into a hug.
"Really sorry kiddo.. But I have to go. You'll be fine. You know where to run." He said into my hair as I hugged him tightly, thinking it might be the last time I may see my human Grandpa. He put one of his house keys in my hand and smiled at Bella, who nodded in gratitude. He went round and hugged everyone, wishing them good luck. I would miss Charlie. I'd miss him alot. A few minutes later, he was gone.
My mom ran her fingers through her hair and exhaled loudly.
"I'll wait until Sam gets here.. If thats alright, Carlisle.." Billy grumbled, switching his gaze from the deep green forest to my Grandpa.
"Of Course." He replied. I was now sat back down next to Jasper, holding his hand and snuggled into his side. Emmett was out on the porch on a sort of 'look-out'. Alice was sat by the glass wall, trying to get another vision of my visitors. Rosalie was sat on the sofa opposite me, her arm around my Moms shoulders. The faint growl of a weak engine came to the front of the house. No one looked up, except me. I watched as Emmett stood up from his slouch on the porch banister, and move down the stairs to greet the stopping car.
"Must be Sam.." Billy sighed, wheeling to the front door.
I saw a tall, native American man get out the car. His jet black hair was cropped short to a buzz cut. His tight jawline was firm and his lips were pursed. A tight black shirt covered his toned torso, and he had some cut off khaki Capri pants. They looked like he had cut them.. or ripped them himself. He shook Emmetts hand, with a slight smile and strode to the front door. Emmett followed on his tail. Billy already had the front door open. I got up from my seat and moved to the doorway of the sitting room. I lent round the corner to watch Billy greet his old friend.
"Billy!" Smiled the man. His voice was low and friendly. He came to Billy and shook his hand firmly, with a seriously yet friendly smile tugging at his lips.
"Thanks for coming Sam" Billy sighed, gruffly. "We didn't realise they would be this soon.. Its too late for the rest of Cullens' friends to come now." He continued. I stared at Sam's face, not recognising him at all. He nodded and looked down to Billy, before noticing I was looking. He jerked his head up and looked at me, expressionless. I opened my mouth, as if to say something, but no words came out. Billy followed Sams gaze and shifted in his chair to look at me. "Come here dear.." Billy said, holding out his hand to me. I didn't move straight away, I felt slightly weak and flushed from all this 'new' information. I stepped forward and took Billys hand, not taking my view off Sam.
"Renesmee.. You obviously don't remember me." Sam said, smiling. I shook my head and looked down at my toes, shy-ness overwhelming me. "My name is Sam Uley. I am an old friend of Billy and your family.. We go way back." He kept on smiling, his snow white teeth glowing behind his russet plump lips.
"H-How.. How do you know me?" I stuttered, looking back at him now. He shifted his weight to his other leg and looked at Billy before sighing and looking back at me.
"We'll get to that later Renesmee.. Right now, we need to make sure your safe.. Hopefully your family has explained it a bit."
"Yes." I said immediately, hinting to him that he should tell me now. Screw later, I want answers. Emmett came up behind Sam, after lingering during our conversation.
"C'mon kiddo, let's get inside." He said, sliding past Sam and wrapping an arm around my chest, then spinning me round until they were draped over my shoulders. He guided me back to the living room and collapsed on the sofa, snuggling his head into Rosalies lap. Rosalies nose wrinkled, as if she had caught the scent of something foul. I went over to Mom and sat beside her, watching has Sam and Billy came through the arch-way.
"Sam, long time no see.." Mom sighed, before going over and wrapping her arms around Sam. He hugged her back and kissed her cheek before separating the friendly embrace.
"I know Bella, too long.. Emily sends her love. Shes 5 months now, and getting bigger." He smiled widely.
"Glad to know she's alright. Sorry you had to come at a time like this." She murmured and stepped back.
"No worries.. The boys know. Uh.." He looked at me for a second. "Jacobs unaware, but I have a feeling he soon will be." He continued.
"Right.. Hopefully if our 'plan' works.." She sighed.
