BELLA POV
"Passport Mrs.", said the man at the airport, I gave him my fake passport, I fooled him and we all went to the plane, in first class, I should admit that after being a Cullen for a while you adapt to luxury. I had the seat next to Edward, his suffering reflected in his damaged beautiful face, depressed me, in a second, our lives changed completely and sadness took control of them.
We hoped to find the Volturis fast, because we didn´t remember such a thing as a room in the castle on which they lived, if we didn´t, I wasn´t going to stand it. This days without my daughter were too much, the whole in my chest that I felt when Edward left me came back, and thanks God vampires don´t sleep, or I bet on that I would have had nightmares too, the main difference this time, there was nobody who could make it more bearable, not even Jacob, I think he was the saddest of all of us, he had his new friend (whose hair reminded me of Victoria) to help him stay human, because the pain in his eyes was too much for him to take it like human, but I think he was strong for both of us, and for himself, mostly.
I just stared at the sky, the dark, empty sky, and something was official for me in this moment, I was always going to hate Italy, and everything related to it, especially Volterra, because they never brought anything good, I was tired, sick of all the pain, of the desperation, of missing Renesmee, all I wanted in this moment, was to see her smile, and to see Jacob´s smile, because since the last time I saw him, I had only produced him pain.
Edward seemed to read my thoughts, and he hugged me so tight, that if I needed to breath, I would have told him to put me down, and he whispered in my ear "Don´t worry anymore, the Volturis aren´t going to hurt her honey, she´s their passport to us, so calm down, they´ll be there, waiting for us to claim her, they will name a price, and set her free, now we know where she is, nothing will hurt he." he whispered in my ear I tried to believe him, but I´ve had enough experience with the Volturis, enough as to now, that if they want to, they could kill her, effortlessly, but making her suffer as she has never suffered before.
We finally arrived to Volterra, that looked so different since the last time I came here, now people were dressing normally, and they moved on with their lives as if what was happening in the vampire world made them no harm, but them all stared at us, since, all of us, (less for Rosalie and Alexandra) were terrible looking, maybe we even looked scary to their human eyes.
We moved to the Volturi´s residence as fast as we could, everything seemed so gloomy, the air was filled in sadness and desperation, even Alice, the joyful Alice, looked hopeless.
A human received us "Sorry, but they had to move for a time, who´s looking for them?" she said. They had moved, cowards, what did they want now?
"The Cullens, is there a remote possibility that you could tell us where they went?" Carlisle said politely, but he only received a denial answer, and we left.
Now I felt really hopeless, the Volturis could´ve taken my beloved, defenseless daughter anywhere they wanted, they could harm her lovely, innocent face, which had nothing to do with our problems, "Now they´re really going to pay for that, right baby??", Emmett said, protector as usually, the last looking at Rosalie, who rolled her eyes towards him and hugged him, at this times, he, Esme, Carlisle and Alice, were the only ones who kept the hope, the rest of us thought there was nothing to do, and when we were at the hotel, Jacob just threw himself to the floor, as if everything he lived for was gone, and indeed, whether I liked it or not, they lived for each other.
ALICE POV
The Volturis ran away, well of someone like Aro, who runs like a rat if he sees he is in disadvantage, you just couldn´t expect anything else. Now I really needed to try harder to find Renesmee, even though looking for your blind spots is harder than looking for a needle in rick, I had to get into hard work again, but now I wasn´t going to look for Renesmee, I was going to look for Aro, I was sure, he was planning the way to prove that Renesmee should be killed, and I was going to stop it, but now whatever I saw, no matter what it was, I was going to say it .
I took Bella and Rosalie for some Italian shopping today, to cheer me up, and to cheer them up, because with my gift, I was sure we were going to find Nessie, I just had to relax.
Indeed, relaxing helped, I saw a green beautiful field, and I saw Aro eating a woman I front of a white door that had to tell something.
I goggled Italian fields, but I just couldn´t find the field I saw, so I thought I had to think better my strategy, because just looking for Aro wasn´t working, I had to see what Aro saw, not what he thought.
I was glad I had worked this hard, because my visions made everybody hopeful again, and every time I closed my eyes, when I opened them ,everybody was staring at me , anxiously, waiting to hear what I saw.
JACOB POV
The clairvoyant bloodsucker had been "seeing" stuff very often these days. I still don´t get what I´ve been doing all this time in a house full of vampires, and making 2 of them my best friends. I was desperate, in Italy there was nowhere to run free as a werewolf, and that just popped my level of stress to the top (as if my Nessie´s disappearance wasn´t a big stressor). Sometimes I really felt like hitting all the bloodsuckers on the face, specially the Barbie, who just insisted in keeping this case less joke war, and even more to hit that clairvoyant, who just gave us hope and then said totally useless things.
Bella and Mary were the only ones that made my sadness decrease a bit, Alex because she was always calmed, she always cheered me up and she always stole me smiles, and Bella, because she was a shoulder to cry on, the only person who could imagine my frustration, my desperation and my sadness, she made me feel better just by sitting by my side and putting her head on my shoulder, we both pressured the clairvoyant more than anyone else, and almost as much as she pressured herself, I tried to be nice but I just couldn´t. I couldn´t find someone else to blame that weren´t the Cullens, especially and as usual, Edward, because since my Nessie disappeared, I could only find a reason for Volturis to want her, and it was very simple, to get him on the clan.
Alex arrived with good news in the afternoon, she made me a "come " sign, I followed, anything was better than being alone, and she took me to a prairie, a well hidden prairie, and she said "I guess you can take it from now, I´ll leave before you pop in my face" she said and left rapidly. I began running, ready to do my jump, but before, I took my clothes off, I didn´t want to destroy them, I didn´t want the Cullens to see me arrive naked to the house.
Running was the relax and the peace I needed, who cared if the air sucked to bloodsucker, I was just feeling my power, watching the trees, enjoying the nature in all its power. But as I kept North, the smell to bloodsucker increased.
I kept north and suddenly the smell vanished. That freaked me out, even though maybe the Cullens went hunting, all I could do was imagine that was the smell of the Volturi, after all , those cowards could´ve hidden anywhere.
Then that smell got more and more familiar, and I saw her. I could only be pleased to find another person, but she was great news, she was Alice, laying calmed on the floor with her eyes closed, I think she was having a vision
BELLA POV
Jacob had taken too long, I was starting to get worried, until he finally knocked the door, happily, I looked at him with hate, how could he be happy if our Renesmee was lost???
Then Jacob and Alice entered the room, she said she was having visions when Jacob arrived, but that she found no progress. Maybe that´s why Jacob had a terrible face and locked himself in his room.
ALICE POV
I felt totally useless. My mind needed some rest and I needed some relax, but I couldn´t allow myself to stop, not for a minute. I was the family´s only hope, and it would be terrible letting them down. I whispered, and turned to Bella. For God sake, what was this woman wearing? It definitively wasn´t what I gave her this morning, was she doing it just to upset me more? I was going to take her shopping. Edward laughed and denied to the idea, and I replied it was urgent. Jacob came out, he sat on the couch and listened carefully to our conversation.
"Mary Alice Cullen, how can you possibly be thinking about shopping when MY daughter is lost,, how ????", Bella said suddenly, I was impressed, Bella had never talked to me like that, "Bella I care, and to do better I need to be relaxed, natural, otherwise, I´m not going to make it, Bella, trust me ", I said , putting my puppy dog eyes, I smiled at Bella and Jacob laughed, "Bells, come on, since she is relaxed, her visions have increased, before, they were nothing, or they meant nothing ",he said , he smiled at me, he could be cool when he wanted too, but Rose made him a face "Bella is right, you should both stop being infantile and take things seriously, really, specially you, mutt, stop making Alice be irresponsible" she told us both, Jacob laughed "She is just relaxing, and you should do the same, Barbie, by the way, do you know who´s the best friend of a blonde??" Jacob asked, Rose made a face, and what was coming was going to be fun for sure, "Edward, she knows this joke?" Jacob asked, Edward denied with his face "Her mirror" Jacob answered, I laughed and Rose made me a "hate you" face, I turned to Jacob, who was in a strange good mood today, and he smiled at me , and I got it, he was relaxed, so I relaxed and made stuff easier, "Thanks, you´re a good puppy ",I said "You´re fun to be a bloodsucker " he said, then he left to sleep, but I could still see his sadness, so I would go cheer him up, after all he did the same for me.
JACOB POV
When I entered the living room I sat on the couch and heard how Edward and Alice argued about, shopping? When Bella got maternal and started bothering Alice.
"Bells, come on, since she relaxed, her visions have increased, before, they were nothing, or they meant nothing ", I said and then I smiled at her supportively, she smiled me back , and the Barbie got motherly and said "Bella is right, you should both stop being infantile and take things seriously, really, specially you, mutt, stop making Alice be irresponsible", I laughed, that Barbie was very dramatic, "She is just relaxing, and you should do the same, Barbie, by the way, do you know who´s the best friend of a blonde??", I told her, she made me a face that made me want to bother her even more, and I asked Edward, "Edward, she knows this joke?", he denied with the face ,"Her mirror", I answered , then I laughed and made my mission, the clairvoyant, was laughing , she got my idea and said "Thanks, you´re a good puppy ",and I replied "You´re fun to be a bloodsucker ", then, I noticed I wanted to go to bed, so I left and waited anxiously for a new day to arrive.
ROSALIE POV
He´s just such a stupid mutt, he´s irresponsible, and behaves like a 6 year old, I really hate him, fuck the minute Renesmee imprinted on him.
"Be patient" Edward said, "You´re such a great example, you obviously love that mutt, maybe you should be a pet vet "I added, threatening Edward, "Rosalie, he´s good for everybody, whether you like it, or not"I just made him a face, Emmett hugged me and we left, I was getting really sick of this family. He wrapped me in his arms and kissed me-Baby, you´ve got to be patient-he whispered in my ear. I rolled my eyes and turned around, I wasn´t in the mood to stand Emmett´s jokes, so I hugged him tight and made him shhh while I started kissing his delicious fresh lips impatiently
ALICE POV
I ran to Jacob´s bedroom, "Hey, thanks, you´re very supportive", I said, smiling, "Hey, it´s the least I can do, I want to be as useful as a dog can be" he answered, joking, he was really making a hard effort for me and for Nessie, and I couldn´t help smiling back, to finally let him sleep .I felt way smoother, so I went to order my bags, I had a very big mess, Prada and Channel were all mixed up, my high tops and my boots were in disorder, I had so much job to do!
Suddenly I started to see something, it was a castle made up with rocks, in the middle of a field, and suddenly I felt like I knew that place. I ran to Carlisle, hoping that he knew exactly where that was.
