Oh who am I kidding? I couldn't stop writing this even if I wanted to. Explanations are given in my new story.

Chapter 8

Operation Endgame.

?POV

Renesmee raised an eyebrow as she stared at Abs. "Have you been watching those lame spy movies on cable again?" She asked as she looked at the blonde. Cass sighed, pushing her red hair out of her eyes.

"No, but even if I were, my plan would still be epic," Abs nodded, taking a sip of her coffee. Renesmee remained skeptical; Abs' plans didn't always go so well, one time she suggested they break into one professor's office and TP it. Unfortunately for them, the professor was working late and he almost caught them had it not been for Shawn who suggested the hide in the janitor's closet. Six people in one tiny closet were a bit of a squeeze, but they managed. They didn't get caught, or expelled, so things could have been a whole lot worse. "Just hear me out," Abs said.

"Fine, go ahead." Renesmee nodded, sipping at her coffee.

"So Alec is after you because he wants to ruin your life, so why not ruin his first?" Abs asked, waggling her eyebrows in a dangerous manner. That's when the light bulb above Renesmee's head went on.

"Of course!" She yelled loudly, causing the people in the coffee shop to stare at her again. "Abigail you are a genius!" She laughed, kissing Abs' cheek. It was brilliant, why didn't she think of it before? Ruining Alec's life before he could get to her was going to be insanely easy; he practically had no life left. But she was going to need all the help she could get, and that involved a visit to the ice queen herself. If she was going to take him down, she needed someone on the inside.

"See, I told you," Abs grinned in satisfaction, but Cass still looked doubtful.

"I don't know, you know what they say about revenge, you have to dig two graves, on for your enemy and one for yourself." She said, leaning forward. "Why don't you just walk away Renesmee? You have Riley, friends and from what I heard, a caring, loving family. Are you going to throw all that away just to go after Alec? Because you will lose all of us, and you will lose yourself."

Renesmee stared at Cass. She was right of course, was it worth it. She knew what it entitled to play Alec's sadistic games, it wrecked her and Alice's relationship, and it almost cost her Riley. Could she do it? Could she get involved with him again just to take him down? It's been six months, why come after her now, after all this time? What changed him so drastically that he suddenly decided to go after her again? It must have been something big and something bad.

"Cass, what if comes after you or Abs, or…Riley?" She could barely say the last name, choking on it. Cass' expression softened and she leaned over to grab Renesmee's hand.

"Renesmee, he can't hurt us, no matter how hard he tries. He can only hurt you, and not me, not Abs, Shawn, Jace or Riley would ever let that happen. I promise." Cass smiled, indicating that this conversation was over, but it was far from it. They didn't know what Alec was capable of, she remembered how Alec ruined Edward and Bella's relationship all those years ago, and it would be fairly easy for him to do the same with Abs and Cass. Not that she pegged her best friends for weaklings, but if Bella could be reduced to a pile of nothing in Alec's arms while he was in high school, imagine what he could do now that they were at university. She shuddered at the thought, but decided on waiting—no daring—Alec to make the first move. She would not be one to begin the battle, but if Alec struck first, she would come out guns blazing.

"Yes Bella, my flight is booked. I leave right after my last exam tomorrow," Renesmee said over the phone. After the ordeal at Starbucks she went back to the apartment to study for her exam tomorrow. She couldn't believe she was almost done with her first semester, and it was almost time for Christmas as well. Even though Alec's declaration of war hung over her like a dark cloud, Christmas was something to look forward to, especially Christmas at the Cullen house. She was even fully prepared for one of Emmett's coming home pranks, but best of all, she got to bring Riley with. Shawn, Jace, Abs and Cass were going to Seattle after Christmas and then fly back to New York when the semester started up again. She couldn't wait for her family to meet Riley, she knew they would approve.

"Good, we're all excited to have you home again." The previous break Renesmee decided to stay at University, simply because it was too early for her to take Riley home and because Alec went home, which gave her two weeks of bliss at University.

"I'm excited to be going home; I can't wait for you all too finally meet Riley." Renesmee was sitting in the living room, her feet curled underneath her on the couch. The door to the apartment went open and Riley stepped in, a few books in his hands and a brown bag underneath his arm. He kicked the door shut behind in and flopped down next to Renesmee on the couch.

"Oh don't worry, we're all excited to meet him," Bella snorted through the phone. Riley leaned over, a sloppy grin plastered across his face as he pressed his lips to Renesmee's neck. His hair was full of snow and his face was cold and flushed. She could barely bite back a moan as he nibbled the sensitive spot beneath her ear. She swatted him away before answering Bella.

"Hey Bella, I have to go, I'll call you later," she hung up, turning to Riley with an angry expression on her face. "What gives? I was on the phone with my sister you idiot." Riley just grinned before grabbing her legs and pulling her on top of him, locking his hands around her waist.

"Oh, poor little Renesmee, can't keep herself together." He laughed softly running his lips across her cheek just like Alec had done a few hours earlier. She debated whether or not she should tell Riley, but they were leaving tomorrow and she didn't want to burden their trip.

"I have to study," she said, pulling away from him. She didn't know why, she was ready for tomorrow, she had been studying for weeks, but she just needed an excuse to get away. She untangled herself, kissing his cheek before retiring to her bedroom. Lucky for her Jane was out, so she had the place to herself. She flopped down on her bed, burying her face in a pillow before letting the waterworks flow. And for the first time in months, she cried for Alec.
