This is just a mini-chapter I hope you guys enjoy- it`s about what happens back in Volterra when the volturi find out Ness is missing. For those of you who are anxiously waiting- there will be a Nessie and Jacob chapter, but for now, lets just roll with it.

CHAPTER FOUR: MISSING

*ALEC*

I slammed the door to the main room shut, walking swiftly to Renesmee`s room at the back of the tower.

I wondered why she had not come outside yet- ususally, at this time would be when she woke up. I stood outside her door and called,

"Renesmee?"

There was no answer.

"Renesmee- It`s me, Alec?" I called again.

No answer.

I waited a few seconds before turning the door handle. It was locked. I kicked open the door and starred at the room. It was empty. The window was flung open. Renesmee was gone.

I ran back at full speed to the main room, throwing open the door.

"Alec!" Aro shouted at my urgency, "Whatever is the meaning of th-"

"She`s gone." I hissed.

Aro looked stunned, "Gone? Whoever are you talking about?"

"Renesmee- she`s gone."

"Good riddance." My sister, who was sitting down next to him muttered. I glared at her and growled. I knew Jane never liked Renesmee- part of this out of jealousy. She had not taken to nicely the fact that everyone quickly warmed up to her and treated her as part of the Volturi. And she escpeically hadn't liked that we had been in a relationship for a while.

"I`m sure she was just not in her room." Aro said calmly, "She must have been wandering around some-where, Jane, go check again."

Jane scowled, but stood up and said, "Yes, master." Then rushed out of the room.

After a few minutes she returned, "I checked that entire side of the tower, master, she isn't here." Even though the obedience to Aro played in her voice, there was no denying the happiness behind it. there was a small smirk on her face as she went back to her seat.

"You did something!" I growled, rushing towards her. Jane turned to look at me, boredom clear on her face.

Her eyes widened slightly as she looked at me in front of her- and then, so quickly it didn't make any sense, I was on the ground- my body burning in immense pain.

It went on for what felt like hours, but in reality was probbally only a few seconds.

Then she stopped.

"I do so hate doing that to you, brother." Jane said softly, "But are you really going to let that girl get in the way of our relationship- look what It has done to us, already, and she hasn't even been gone a day!"

"She has a name." I breathed, turning back to face Aro, "What do we do?"

"We go after her." Aro said in a calm voice, almost as if I was missing something obvious, "If Renesmee ran away then she only has one place to go."

"The Cullens?" Marcus asked.

"Of course- we go in the night, take her when she`s alone."

"What about that pet she has?" I asked, impatiently.

"Pet? The werewolf. Oh…. I never even thought about him." Aro said, "Never mind. He sleeps, doesn't he?"

I smiled a little then.

"I vote we leave the girl alone- what purpouse has she here, anyway." Jane snapped, "With all due respect, master." She said quickly, turning back to Aro, "Why did you take her in the first place?"

Aro smiled, "She`s such an amazing creature- such an addition to our history. Do you not expect me to make her mine? One of us? Why should I leave something so valuable and so… so rare in the hands of the Cullen`s?"

"When do we leave, brother?" Cauis, who I hadn't even noticed was standing in the corner of the room, asked.

"In a few weeks. That should be enough time."

"Isnt there more half vampires, though. If you want one of their kind, why not take one of them." Jane asked, almost pouting as she saw she wasn't going to win this conversation.

Aro laughed once, "Taking something that belongs to our rival coven, dear, and getting away with it, is just so much more fun."

Not my best work- I know, but I had writers block, that`s why no chapter was up for the past few days. I`ll try to get another chapter to you guys by the end of this week- but it wont be easy. wish me luck!
