A/N Drum roll please (Brrrrr psh!) CHAPTER 6! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in ages. I think every author gets the same way. Whether it's writer's block, no computer or simply too busy to update, everyone is the same. Anyway, I apologise and hope you'll forgive me and read and review this chapter. And just so you know, more AK-SHON happens in this one. Hopefully, it won't seem cheesy or anything.

Chapter 6

I darted silently behind the trunk of a massive tree, folding my limbs urgently out of sight. I held my breath and listened intently to the ominous creaking of the ancient boughs and the subdued chirping of the forest birds. Leaves filtered streaks of shadow and murky sunlight down to me, masking both me and my persuer.

My mind was whirling, trying to make sense of everything that had happened. I knew I was deep in the heart of the forest, far from civilization. I knew I was being followed, hunted. I knew I was going to get caught. I smile in anticipation; I couldn't wait.

A sharp rustle announced a presense off to my right. I slowly turned my head and nearly squeaked in fright. Nessie was crouching at the base of another tree, not ten meters from my hiding spot.

"Pssst," I hissed, she looked up immediately with wide eyes. She caught sight of me and smiled a small smile. I watched as she turned her head from side to side. Then, without any warning, she launched herself at me. I grabbed hold of her, steadying her though I knew she didn't need it.

"What was that for," I breathed in her ear after a few minutes silence. She visibly restrained a giggle before whispering back, "We're less likely to get found if we're together. One can look ahead, one behind; a team." I shook my head at her logic and grinned, "Besides, we shouldn't let the boys win. Just because they're bigger, doesn't mean they're brainier."

I nodded in agreement, "Seth and Jacob won't know what's hit them."

We continued on, in search of the prefect hiding place. I was rear guard, Nessie the leader because she knew the forest trails better. I expanded my sheild to encompass her as well, just in case Edward decided to join in. I left the physical side alone. I knew that it would rob me of energy a little quicker than I'd have liked. A soon as my protection was stretched out, part of my mind was preoccupied with keeping it in place. Maybe if I had concentrated more on my surroundings, I would've seen him sooner.

I sensed eyes on my back and whirled around in self-defense but was a mite too slow. One arm encircled my waist, pinning my arms to my side and the other went around my neck. His grip was strong, what I had expected. His arms were muscled, also what I had expected. What I hadn't expected was the tempurature. The skin pressed up against me was freezing. All this had registered in my mind in the split-second it took for me to suck in a breath, ready to scream.

"Make one sound and you die," a harsh voice spoke in my ear. I breathed out silently, "Very good. Now, call your friend."

I didn't do a thing, fearing for what this vampire wanted with Nessie.

"I said to call her," he hissed, "Do it now. Call Renesmee."

I paused in shock, this man knew Nessie. The arm threaded around my throat constricted, making my wheeze for air. He loosened his hold again and urged me to call her again.

"Nessie," I whispered, "Help me."

She stepped out from behind a tree, face hard. She glared daggers at my captor.

"Let her go, Demitri." Demetri? Where does she know him from?

"I merely have a message from my master."

"Well you can tell your master to shove his message up his royal a-"

He spoke over her, "You have ten hours to leave the Cullens without stirring up suspicions. You will met us halfway to Seattle. If you do not comply, we will take you forcibly and kill your precious family," he sneered the last part.

"Define 'we'," she adopted the same tone as him. I could see her keeping an eye on the arm around my neck. I stayed quiet throught their exchange, not wanting to provok violence.

"Demetri," someone reprimended him in a chastising tone from a short way to the side, "You don't need to frighten them."

Nessie's back went ramrod straight. She pivoted gracefully to stare at the second intruder.

"Aro," she said through clenched teeth.

"Renesmee, you are looking lovely today," he strode over to her and lifted her hand. He closed his eyes briefly but opened them a second later, confision written over his features.

I sensed Demetri's mind was concentrated mainly on the other vampire. I used his destartion, snapping my feet apart, falling straight through his arms. He grasped at me and grabbed my hair. I shrieked and yanked back, loosening his hold. I gripped the top of the ponytail and pulled.

I thanked my lucky stars that I'd had a shower earlier in the morning and had coated my hair in an extra layer of conditioner. The slick strands slipped easily through his hands. I skittered away from him, using my shield physically to stop him coming after me. He growled at me, crouching. I copyied his posture, snarling ferally. I was shocked at my own reation but it wasn't enough to pause my movements. I swung out at him, grabbing his arms and shoving him away from me.

"Don't touch me ever again," I snarled in a low voice.

"Children, children," the one named Aro said in a sing-songy voice, "There's no need to fight," he stepped closer to me, dragging Nessie with him, "May I inquire as to your name young one?" he asked me, taking one of my hands in his free one. He closed his eyes again but this time, he opened them with an excitement.

"I have no obligation to you or anyone else, now leave me and Nessie alone!"

I was beginning to wonder where Seth was. He shouldn't have taken this long to find me.

"My Dear, if only it was that simple. See, we need you. We need you to understand that we can't leave you out here in the middle of nowhere when there is a battle stewing. We need your help."

I yanked my hand back and spat at his shoe. He cocked his head to the side like an inquisitive parot. As he moved, a shriek of pure rage sounded from behind a close tree. Suddenly, a young girl whirled around it and raced at me. I snarled at her and expanded my shield fractionally to met her. She slammed up against it. Her face clouded with an almost familiar frustration and I could guess why. I wasn't the first to spoil young Jane's twisted plans of torture.

Just the false innocence inked on her face was enough to confirm my suspicions as to who she was. She didn't like it that there was anyone who could stop her in her tracks and now instead of just Bella, there were two shiels powerful enough.

"Jane," Aro said and she withdrew behind him. He turned to me once again, "Your talent would be most welcome in our ranks. Both of yours infact. Won't you join us?" he held out his hand again. I glared at him, showing my decision through my eyes.

"Hmm, not exactly what I planned. I suppose we will have to go through with Demetri's plan after all," his face looked pained as if he actually cared about the Cullens wellbeing, "Come forward my brothers and sisters, show them what they are up against." Aro held out his arms and slowly, very slowly, figures emerged from the trees. They moved in, forming a circle around us. Demetri merged into their ranks.

I could see the fear on Renesmee's face and knew we were dead if we tried to stay and fight. My shield was strong but I knew I wasn't strong enough to compete with the raw power displayed in front of us.

I bowed my head and saw Nessie doing the same. Aro clapped his hands, delighted and I felt nausea claw at my stomach, "Well then, it's decided. We'll be waiting for you outside Seattle. Oh and Renesmee, don't bring that puppy of yours, he'll come in later." She shot me a glance and I could see the broken love shinning pitifully in the back of her chocolate eyes. I felt the same emotion spotlighted in my face. We were doomed but I was still greatful for Aro's ignorance concerning Seth and me. I didn't want him playing into any of the vampire's plans.

As the Volturi retreated, we clung to each other. When we lost sight of them, we sank to the base of a moss covered tree. The roots cradled us as we cried. We sobbed, uncaring about our clothes as they slowly were soaked and stained.

Ooh! Like I said, AK-SHON! Lol. I'll post the next chapter ASAP. I have it written and ready. Please keep reading AND DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!
