Dear readers, (if i still have any)
Have you guys all forgotten about me already? I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Oh, well. Please review (: I wanna hear your thoughts.
Renesmee's POV -
"I haven't seen Carlisle and Esme around lately," I blurted out. As I said this, I noticed my Mom turned her head away.
She always turned away from me when she was hiding something.
I look at both of them suspiciously. Since William's passing, I realized I haven't seen Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett around either. I guess I just haven't noticed what's been up.
"What's going on?" I ask and Father sighs and looks at me. He gives me a smile, but I can see right through it.
"They've been around the house, Nessie. It's just you haven't noticed them," he says slyly. Yeah, right.
I haven't realized how handsome my own Father was. It was also scary that he was only one year older than me, and it will always remain that way.
He turned away and scratched his head when I thought of that. I guess he suspected I was suspicious, too.
I scoffed loudly.
What could they be hiding? As usual, my overactive imagination takes over my thoughts.
My dad cleared his throat loudly.
No one asked you to read my mind. I thought in my head. That was one of the bad parts about having a vampire-dad.
He turned toward me and just smiled. That's what he did when he had nothing to say. I knew him that well. Mom turned her head, and Father just smiled. It was reassuring, though. I would feel better everytime I see it.
What's really going on? I thought sharply. I made the voice in my head sound very angry. I demanded for an answer.
I stared at my Dad, trying to read him. He gulped. Mom remained still, her head on Father's lap. She was examining us. She knew that we were communicating silently.
"Just tell her," she said suddenly, and her face turned hard.
"I don't want her to-" my father began.
"Just tell her, Edward!" my Mom yelled. She looked up at Father solemnly. Mother never yelled at him. My whole life, I haven't seen Bella Swan yell at Edward Cullen once since her newborn vampire stage.
Father sighed, and I gulped. I didn't realize how nervous I was.
"When we took you back to the house that day,-" Father began. When he said "that day" I knew he meant the day William died.
"- Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper went to go look for William and Kaleb," he said slowly. He switched his position from looking out the window, to looking down.
I had a bad feeling about this.
"And?" I said shakily. I didn't like thinking about William's death. Let alone, Kaleb's.
Father turned to me.
"They couldn't find their bodies."
Jacob's POV -
Of course I remembered her. I don't recall seeing her or not, but I know about her. She was one of them. The Volturi, of course. My chest felt like fire as I said thought of them.
"Yes. You're Jane, right?" I said, giving her a hard look. She tilted her head up, and gave me one in return.
I didn't like looking at her. Let alone talking to her.
It's been a long time since I communicated with any vampires besides the Cullens.
"Yes, I am Jane. I am here to talk to you about some important matters, but we cannot speak here, but I have a message from the Volturi. It will give you an idea on what we shall talk about next time we meet," she said, her face expressionless.
It was amazing how intimidating those blood-suckers could be.
"What message?" I said coldly. I hope she got the idea that I had no intention of speaking to her.
"We have sources that have told us that you know about our kind. A little too much, too. And that your people associate with certain covens," she said. Her expression did not change, but her face sent signals that this "message" wasn't a good one.
"What about it?"
"Us Volturi take these matters very seriously. We will be looking into this very soon, and will give you a specific date where we shall meet," she says as she takes a long breath in, and out.
Seriously, why do they even bother breathing?
"Cool," I say sarcastically. This wasn't going to be good.
"And Aro will be checking up on dear Renesmee," she says, smiling afterwards. But her smile wasn't a happy one.
He was checking up on Renesmee?
I started growling and leaned forward.
"Mr. Black, I suggest that you should not take forth any action in a public area," she says ruthlessly.
And on the corner of the street, I see two other figures in the same hoods appear.
Great, more of them.
I leaned back.
"Very good. Thank you for cooperating with us, Mr. Black. We will meet again," she said deliberately.
God, those fucking blood-suckers, I swear. They're just like robots.
I immediately pulled the handle of my car, and rushed myself out of it.
When I turned, they were gone. I punched the side of the car angrily.
Not again.
Alice's POV -
"You guys, we should head back now. I think Renesmee's hungry," I said loudly, blinking my eyes after seeing a long vision.
Rosalie and Esme were searching the nearby trees for a scent of William and Kaleb. Jasper, Emmett, and Carlisle had gone searching the other side of the forest.
So far, we have had no leads on where Kaleb and William have dissapeared to.
Last time we had all seen both of them, we assumed they were dead.
But are they?
"And why do you think that?" Esme said, turning to me, her light-red brown hair flipping behind her shoulder when she turned.
This time of the year, our eyes were black.
"I just had a vision. Renesmee's complaining about how hungry she was- but I have a feeling someone else was there, too. I just-just can't tell. We just need to be there." I stated urgently. Something in my gut told me that we really needed to be there.
"Well, what do we do? Bring back a deer for her or something?" Rosalie adds, an annoyed expression on her face.
Even though she loves Nessie, she doesn't like to give up.
"No, she wants crepes." I said, laughing at how ridiculous that sounded.
Rosalie sighed and started heading for home. Beforehand, Esme started dialing Carlisle's number.
"Honey?" I heard Esme speak onto the phone sweetly.
"Yeah, Alice had a vision. We need to go home, now. Uh-yeah. Yeah. No, we're gonna buy some crepes first- okay bye." she says, smiling. She turns and faces me.
"Well, are you comng?" she asks.
"Yeah, hold on."
Esme turns and starts running.
I looked around. There was somthing different occuring in the forest. Around the trees- I felt it. It was dead quiet, until I heard the rustling of branches, but I didn't know where they came from.
Someone was watching us.
"Who's there?" I said.
Then, I finally heard a bird chirp. The natural atmosphere of the forest returned, and I knew that we were no longer being watched.
So I turned, and started heading home.
