Chapter 6

I ran into Jake's arms, catching him by surprise. I clutched him as I sobbed, no tears coming my eyes. I couldn't cry anymore since I'd become a vampire, my body unable to make them.

"What am I going to do?" I cried into Jake as he held my shaking body tightly to him.

"I don't know," he said, rubbing my back in an attempt to comfort me. But I was beyond comforting; I was on the verge of hysteria.

"I want them back!" I cried, pounding on his chest. "I want my husband and my sweet little girl!" Jake caught my hands just as they were about to hit his chest and I fell into him, defeated. My sobs racked my body, making my knees weak and soon they fell out from under me. Jake caught me just before I hit the ground.

"Whoa there," he said steadying me with his arms.

"I just want them back," I said in a whisper. "What if they hurt them? What if they kill them?" I was so worried and my racing mind was not helping. All I could think about were the what if this and what if that. It was torturing me not knowing.

"Come on inside," Jake said, carrying me inside and sat me on the couch.

I curled into him, nuzzling my head into his chest. He was so good to me. I didn't deserve such a nice friend.

"We will get them back," he whispered in to my ear. "I won't let anything happen to Nessie."
In my pain I hadn't thought about his. He must be just as worried as me, Renesmee was his soul mate and it was clear
he cared very deep for her.

"I don't deserve someone as great as you," I told him.

"You deserve me more than you know and I will always be here for you," he whispered into my hair as he stroked my back. "We'll find them and get them back, I promise."

Hours later we were all gathered around the dinning room table. Emmett looking much better, his wounds healed.

"We have to go to them," Carlisle told us.

"Don't you think that's what the want and we might be walking into a trap?" Jake asked.

"Most likely, but we have no other choice. They have part of our family and we need them back." Everyone nodded in agreement.

I sighed. Was this the only way to get them back, go into the heart of the enemy? It didn't matter, they took my family and I needed them back. I hated the Volturi more and more every second that Edward and Renesmee were away from me. "I say we should go," I said, surprising everyone with its suddenness. "I can't sit by and do nothing; going to them is better then not doing anything."

"Your right," Esme said, coming up beside me and putting one of her hands on my shoulder in a gesture of love. "We can't let them take are some of are family and not fight back."

Carlisle nodded and then looked around at everyone gathered around the table.

There were nods and loud agreements from everyone.

Carlisle stood with purpose and stated in a strong voice, "then it's settled, we are going to the Volturi to get are family members back." He grinned. "But not without some help from some old friends."
