Chapter 25
The worst is yet to come
When the kiss finally ended I looked into his eyes. He seemed even more depressed now.
"Am…I…am I bad kisser or something?" I asked.
His face went from depressed to shock.
"No...No that's not it."
"Then what's the problem? You love me, when you love someone you never want your lips to part from each other's."
"The problem is I know this is just tonight, tomorrow night it will be him kissing you."
"How do you know that?"
"Renesmee, I've seen the way you look at him."
"How do I look at him?"
He looked away and there was a long pause. He finally looked back at me.
"The way I look at you."
I looked down and turned away from him. I walked to the water's edge and looked out at sky. The sun was going to be setting soon. He took my hand and pulled me into his arms.
"Do I have a chance?" he asked
"Yes, you have a chance."
He then lifted my chin and kissed me again, this time though, I had no thoughts of Antoine in my mind, I only thought of what my life would be like with Jacob. When we stopped, I just turned around and he held me in his arms, and we watched the sun go down. We stood there for what seemed like hours and then he turned me to look at him.
"You look exhausted, let's get you home."
"Yeah, I guess."
He took my hand and led me to the car and opened my door. I got in and he went around to his side and got in. He started the car and we made our way home. When we got to the Cullen's he stopped the car and turned and looked at me.
"Renesmee, I know that he will probably be in your room with you tonight, but please keep this in mind. You don't have to choose him just because he loves you, Bella loved me and Edward at the same time, but she loved Edward more and chose him. If you think that you love him more, then choose him, if you think you love me more, then choose me. I only want for you to be happy, if you aren't going to be happy with me, then I don't want you to be with me, I want you to be with the love of your life and if it isn't me…then I won't interfere."
I leaned over and kissed him.
"I'll keep that in mind."
I got out of the car and ran back to my house. When I got home I walked slowly in the door. My parents were in the living room watching a movie.
"Hey honey, did you have fun with Jake?" my mother asked.
"Yeah, tons!" I called back "I'm really tired, I'm going to bed."
They nodded and I went back into my room. I slipped off my dress and got into a nightgown; I put my hair up into a loose ponytail and crawled into bed. Rosaline was fast asleep in hers. I thought about tonight and then eventually fell asleep.
When I woke up I had a bad feeling in my stomach, like something wasn't right with my life. I got up and went over to my computer and signed in. Antoine was online, but signed off as soon as I signed on. IT was weird for him to do these two days in a row, but I pushed it out of my mind. Rosaline was still sleeping, so I decided I would go out into the living room so wouldn't disturb her. When I got out of my room there was a note on the fireplace. I walked over to it and read it.
Renesmee,
We are at Carlisle and Esme's house, as soon as you wake up and read this, please come immediately, it is an emergency.
Love Dad.
I was confused, what could be going on that was so urgent that I needed to get there immediately. I walked back into my room and woke Rosaline.
"What's going on?" she asked sleepily.
"We need to go to Carlisle and Esme's house right now. Get dressed Hun."
She did what she was told and got dressed. I did so as well. We ran out the door and to the Cullen's. When we got there we ran inside.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"It's Alice." My father replied.
"What's wrong with her?"
"She's been stuck in a vision for over an hour." Carlisle answered.
I walked over and sat in front of Alice. I waved my hand in front of her face but she did nothing. She finally came out of it a few minutes later. She looked terrified.
"Alice what did you see?" I asked.
"Oh my god." She muttered.
"What? What's going on?!" I asked again.
She just sat there, motionless.
"Alice, what did you see?" Carlisle asked calmly.
"They're coming."
"Who's coming?"
"The voturi."
"How is that a problem? They come every year." I asked.
"No, this is abnormal, we haven't gotten a letter of notice, Aro is always kind enough to send a letter of notice, he started doing that after you turned 10." Carlisle replied.
"Okay, well maybe they forgot or something?"
"No, this is too early for their visit; they aren't supposed to be here for months." My father interjected.
"This isn't a visit for Renesmee." Alice said suddenly.
"Then who for?" Carlisle asked.
She looked at him with fear in her eyes.
"For Rosaline, she's a newborn immortal child."
I hadn't even thought about that lately, I knew she was immortal…but not completely.
"When will they be here?" I asked.
"Hard to say, not long though."
I looked down at the floor, fighting back tears.
"Who are you talking about?" Rosaline asked.
I looked at her and whipped away the forming tears.
"No one, just someone we know, they want to visit you."
She nodded and looked around the room.
"Well, let's not dwell on this, we know they are coming and we will be prepared. They spared Renesmee, I'm sure that Rosaline will be spared as well." Carlisle said, trying to calm everyone.
"So what do we do now?" I asked.
Carlisle looked around the room and then at me.
"We wait.
