~28~
The wind blew my hair out of my face as I sat on the balcony and watched the birds fly overhead through the late April sky. The sun warmed down on me, enlightening the sparkles on my skin. It had been a week since the dance and that painful night, and I had had no news on what was going on with Aiden. He would have been done changing by now, I thought. He would be out feasting on humans.
I still loved Aiden, even though I hated what he became. I didn't want him to be a bloodthirsty vampire, but I knew he had no choice in the beginning. I wanted him to be reformed like my family and the Denali's and I hoped that they would teach him their ways out there. I knew Aiden must be going through a hard time, without anyone there to count on, without me; but I hoped that wherever he was in Alaska, the Aurora Borealis was illuminating his dark life, just as he had illuminated mine.
My family was still in danger. Apparently, the Altaira coven was still roaming around Washington, and we still weren't sure what they were after. Emmett and Jasper had chased Marney as far as they could, but they had lost her somewhere near Toronto. She was too fast for them, and my father, the fastest in the family, didn't go with them to help catch her. It made me tremble to know that she was still out there, but she couldn't hurt Aiden anymore because his blood was gone and all that was left of his body was an indestructible stone.
I thought of Aiden and his bright blue eyes and chestnut hair, smiling in the sunshine. I felt a pang and the tears come again, but I was done crying. I had been crying for a whole week and it had gotten me nowhere. I closed my eyes, feeling the soft breeze on my hair, and held my broken heart necklace.
I eventually went to sit downstairs in the living room, just staring out the window to the driveway. Mrs. Montgomery had come to see me, but I couldn't even make it down the stairs. She came up to my room and gave me the picture she had taken of Aiden and me at the dance, but as soon as she left, I tore it up and threw it out the window. I couldn't stand to look at our bright and smiling faces right before everything was taken from Aiden.
"Oh my god," I heard Alice say in horror. I glanced up to see everyone rush towards her.
"What is it Alice? What did you see?" Carlisle said. I didn't move from where I sat. I just looked on from where I was.
"They're coming back. I've been watching them ever since Bella and I went to rescue Edward in Italy. I've only been seeing when a big decision happens amongst them, and they've decided to come back to Washington," she said afraid.
I knew she meant the Volturi. Who else would it be? I thought of the coven in black capes, walking into the clearing and shuddered at the thought. What did they want now?
"Why are they coming back, Alice?" my father asked.
"The Altaira is a threat to them. They want to overthrow the Volturi. They want to become the new rulers of not only the vampires, but everyone," she said still frightened. I watched as the horror washed over everyone's face, especially my mother's.
"When are they leaving?" Jasper asked.
"They've already left, but the Altaira won't be there. They've already moved on," she answered back.
"I'll go call the Denali's and warn them. We won't be able to get back there in time," Carlisle said.
"What should we do?" asked Rosalie.
"We'll just sit here and wait until the Denali's meet the Volturi, and then we'll decide what to do," my father said.
I looked back out the window as my family kept discussing what they would have to do to defeat these Altaira and if they should help the Volturi. I shuddered at that thought. I never wanted to see them again, and I hoped that Aiden would never have to.
I squinted into the sunlight pouring in, to see a bronze figure making its way up to the house. A shirtless male with short black hair was looking down and walking toward the house. I got up and scurried out the front door as the rest of my family began to look out the window.
I threw myself into the arms of the werewolf who had left me almost three months ago.
"Jacob," I whispered, "You're back."
"Nessie," he whispered back to me, "I'm back and I'm not going anywhere."
I stepped back and looked into his dark brown eyes, "What do you mean?"
He looked a little hurt that I was asking him that, but he answered anyway, "I'm not leaving you again. I went through hell without you and I know you went through hell too. I'm going to be here with you for as long as you live."
"Oh, Jacob," I cried as I tightly put my arms around his waist, closing my eyes and letting the tears fall.
He put his arms back around me too, and leaned his head on top of mine. "I love you, Renesmee," he whispered as my tears continued to fall.
I cried for the happiness that Jacob was back in my life and he wasn't going anywhere. I cried out of fear for the Volturi coming back and this new coven coming to power. I cried out of anger for Marney tearing the life away from Aiden. I cried out of worry for my family and the new danger we would all be facing. I cried at the thought of Ann Montgomery sitting inside her house all alone, thinking her son was dead. And most of all, I cried for the last person who told me they loved me.
I stood in the front of the house clutching on to Jacob, feeling the warmth from his skin melt my fears away. I didn't know if I wanted Aiden or Jacob more, but in my mind, I knew that the Aiden I wanted was gone. I didn't know how to feel about Jacob anymore, if I loved him as much as Aiden, but in my heart I knew that I did. I didn't know if I would ever see my Aiden again, but in my soul, I knew he would always be a part of me and that whatever darkness I had to face next in my life, just the memory of his aurora would be there to brighten up my night sky.
