Lizzie's POV (Arrival)
I sighed. I guess I should have thought of taking Italian classes. I am so lost. I can't read any of the signs and it is impossible to find someone who speaks English. So here I am trying to get a taxi to Volterra. Luckily someone finally pulled up and they speak English! I almost hugged the guy.
"Where to?" the driver asked in a think Italian accent.
"Um, Volterra," I answered. His eyes widened a bit.
"May I ask why?" he asked, looking a little worried.
"I'm visiting my mother," I replied casually.
"She lives there?" he asked sounding quite confused.
"Yeah. Why is there a problem?" I asked.
"No, no! It's just that only royalty lives there," he answered.
"Royalty? Oh wow," I said thinking out load.
"Yeah. They have it pretty good. If you are planning on meeting her somewhere, you should go to the Palazzo dei Priori," he must have noticed my confusion because then he explained," 'the clock tower.' "
"Oh. I see. Thanks for the suggestion."
"No problem. Oh, looks like we are here," he said stopping the car. I looked out of the window and saw an ancient wall surrounding the city. It was beautiful.
I payed the driver and walked through the gates. The city was amazing but the castle was even more breathtaking. But I noticed that it was a bit dead out today. Probably because the streets were empty and skies of white and blue. It was a bit creepy. But I kept walking until I spotted someone.
Luckily, I saw a girl that looked about eighteen.
"Hey! Excuse me, do you know where the Palazzo dei Priori is?" I asked her.
She sniffed the air and her blue eyes (which I swear had a hint of red in them) seemed confused for a split second.
"Oh, keep going straight then turn right then straight then left. You won't miss it," she answered as she pointed in each direction she gave.
"Thanks," I smiled then started heading in the direction she told me to go to.
"No problem," she said returning the smile. Showing sharp perfect white teeth. Creepy. Then I turned my head but around and started walking again. Before I turned on the first the right, I glanced over my shoulder and she had disappeared. OK now that was creepy.
Once I got to the clock tower, the skies turned grey. The street was dead and silent. I feel someone watching me carefully. I quickly turned around and saw a black blur in the near by alley.
"Hello? Don't try and hide. I saw you. My eyes aren't playing tricks on me. They are sharper then you think," I yelled, talking to the stranger.
Now I saw three figures in the dark alley. I cocked my head to the side and listened.
"I can't see her. She must not be human," a girl whispered,
"That's weird because I can't her her thoughts either. Do you think she could be a shield like Bella and Chelsea, Carlisle?" a man said to another man, who must be Carlisle.
"I can hear you! So just show yourselves,"I said quieter this time. They came into view and starred at me with their hard golden eyes.
How can she hear us? I heard a guy's voice say.
Edward what's going on? She doesn't smell like anything I recognize. It's something different. A girl's voice this time.
She looks strangely familiar. Another guy's voice said.
The creepy thing is that their lips aren't even moving.
"How can I hear you people if you aren't talking?" I asked them. Their eyes went wide.
"I don't know," the blonde man said.
"OK, which one of you is Edward?" I asked.
"That's me," a bronze haired man replied.
"Hm. Let me guess. Your Carlisle and your Alice, right?" I asked as I pointed at them.
"Yeah. You got it right. So why are you here?If you were smart, you would stay away from here," Alice replied.
"I'm here to visit my mother and hopefully bring her back home," I said answering her question.
"Who's your mother?" Carlisle asked.
"Renesemee Carlie Black," I replied.
All their eyes widened in shock.
"Is Jacob Black your father?" Edward asked, still in shock.
"Yes. Do you know him?" I asked.
"Oh, we know him alright," Alice mumbled.
"May I ask what your full name is, miss," Edward asked politely.
"Elizabeth Alice Black. But please call me Lizzie," I replied smiling. Edward went into shock again and just stood there like stone. But Alice squealed andd clapped her hands.
"Well then Lizzie, follow us," Carlisle smiled.
Jacob's POV (Nothing Can Be Done)
"What the hell do you mean she's gone?!" Leah screamed in my ear. I sighed.
"I meant what I said. She left you a letter too, so I really don't get why your freaking out on me," I said starring right into Ms. Dramatics's eyes.
"Well I didn't actually believe it. It could have been a silly prank. But that's not the point here. The point is that you let her go. Seriously Jake how could you?" she said glaring right back at me. Oh so it's my fault now. Leave it to Leah to blame it on me.
"Let her? She just left. Do you think I knew about this? Leah, I had no idea she was planning this. OK? And I'm just as stressed out as you. Possibly more," I replied trying to keep my cool. Leah knew I was right, but I could tell she was trying to find a loop hole in the words a spoke.
"We need to go after her," And of course she found one.
"No Leah. Nothing can be done."
"So your just going to leave her there with those bloodsuckers?" she almost screamed.
I sighed, "I trust Nessie to keep Lizzie safe. I know Nessie wouldn't let anything happen to her."
"I can't believe you. Nessie doesn't even know Lizzie. She probably forgot about her by now; it's been thirteen years. Do you honestly believe she will protect a girl she barely cares about?" Leah replied sounding pissed off.
"Barely cares about?! Leah you have no idea. So just stop talking before you get me really mad," I said really trying not to explode.
"Before you get really mad? Oh Jake, I'm not scared of you. Just remember your putting Lizzie in so much danger. Nessie can't be trusted."
"You little b-" I stopped before I could loose it. So I just turned around and headed for the door. Leah was still talking but I tuned her out and slammed the door behind me.
All I could hope was that Lizzie comes home with Nessie by her side.
Nessie POV (No Way)
"Good morning sleepy head," Momma greeted me as I shuffled into the kitchen.
I groaned and took a seat at the table across from her. I then placed my head on the table with a thud.
"Did you have a bad night sleep?" Momma asked in concern.
"Yeah. I was tossing and turning all night. That one dream came back, but it was a little different. The weird thing is that I haven't had that dream in nine years," I said sighing.
Esme came into the room with a try of hot chocolate and french toast, and placed the tray in front of me.
"Do you have an idea on why that dream suddenly came back?" Esme asked gently.
I pondered that for a moment but I can't quite put my finger on it.
"I... don't know why, actually. But I really wish I did," I replied frowning a bit with a confused tone. The conversation dropped and I ate my brunch. It is my favorite human food, and practically the only human food I'll eat.
Once I was done, I washed my dishes and went to the library.
The library in the Volturi castle is huge. It is also my favorite place to relax in.
I went to my favorite section of the library and took a seat on the plush carpet. I took a deep breathe and closed my eyes...
--
Her face showed up again. She was smiling at me s she pointed to something behind me. I turned around and saw him. He was racing towards me and picked me up off the ground. I started laughing. He joined in as he put me down. The little girl had disappeared.
"Where did she go?" I asked with concern as my eyes scanned the beach. He laughed and pointed to the cliff.
And there she was, but a much older version, running towards the edge with great speed. She jumped off without hesitation, and glided through the air. The she disappeared into the deep blue ocean.
When she got to the shore, I found myself running towards her with a towel. As I got closer to her, I noticed her beauty. She dark brown curly hair, chocolate coloured eyes, skin white as snow, and a smile that lit up the the world.
"Nice jump." Jake said to the teen girl as he patted her on the shoulder. How does Jake know this girl?
"Thanks Daddy," the girl responded. Daddy? "Do you have any tips on how I can get a cleaner run?"
"Yeah, L-"
--
"Nessie?"
My eyes shot open and I jumped a little when I saw my dad standing before me.
Blah! I was just about to finally find out her name. Grr.
"What?" I asked feeling a bit flustered.
"You have a visitor waiting for you in the throne room," he replied firmly.
"A visitor? D you know who?"
"Come see for yourself."
I run to the throne room, vampire speed, and opened the door. I saw a girl rise when she spotted me. I walked up to her and her scent hit me dead on. It smelled like nothing I ever smelled before but yet it was so familiar. A part of her scent smelled like, smelled like... Jacob.
The girl smiled and said, "Hello. It is an honor to finally meet you. I have heard so much about you. In fact my dad never shuts up about you. He just keeps ta-"
"Who's your father? How does he know me?" I asked getting suspicious.
"Jake. Jacob Black. Your husband, the one who is still waiting for you to come home," she replied.
I stood there stunned. She is the girl from my dreams. This is my daughter. Wow, when did she get so big? Tears started to form in my eyes.
When I didn't speak, she spoke again, "Hello Mother. It is me. Elizabeth Alice Black."
The memories all came back to me. The day I found out I was pregnant, when little Lizzie was born, when Jake and I stayed up all night just starring at her. The day I had to leave Jake and her. The pain that came with sleepless nights, the worrying.
"My baby. My baby is grown up. Your so beautiful. My baby Lizzie!" Now tears were falling down my cheeks and I was smiling.
Lizzie smiled back and we gave each other a big tight bear hug.
After about five minutes past, I heard someone entering into the room laughing lightly.
"Nessie you have a daughter? Well isn't that spectacular! And Jake must be the father. Hm. That means your child is a one of a kind species of her own," - I turned my head and saw Aro. His expression looked very happy but mystifious - "Interesting..." He smiled wider then left the room.
I instantly got worried. He better not try anything on my Lizzie. The last thing we need here, is another war.
Once again very sorry for not updating. I hope you liked it! Please review.
