Edwards POV

I flipped a page of the newspaper over, and smiled to myself. Morning daddy! My daughters voice filled my head as I heard her moving around her room. Her tiny feet made light thudding sounds as she walked the halls above me. I sat back in my chair just listening to her. She played with Alyssa for a little while, but she seemed distracted. Thirst, she flashed me visions. I was about to go take her out of Alyssa's room, but she did it herself. I could hear her coming down the stairs, so I went back to my paper. She'd find Bella, and Bella will notice she has to hunt.

"Thirsty?" I heard my wife ask our daughter.

"Yes, so are you." Renesmee answered her.

I knew Bella and Renesmee liked to have their special hunting trips. As much as I hated them being out alone, I knew they'd be safe. Plus Renesmee liked going with Bella because she lets her hunt anything she wanted. I relaxed into my chair giving them their mother, daughter time.

"Where are you ladies off to?" I asked pretending I didn't know what was going on. To my surprise they both fell for it.

"Just to do some hunting. We'll be back before dusk." Bella said as she walked over to kiss me.

Renesmee was at her side, and I bent down to kiss her nose. Please let me just go with mommy. We will be fine alone. I love you, but don't ask her to come with us. You know she'll say yes. I kept my face serious so Bella wouldn't catch on to our silent conversation. "Have fun." I winked at Renesmee.

"We will!" She smiled a smile that was identical to her mothers, and it melted my frozen heart.

Thank you, daddy! You're the best in the whole wide world! She thought, and filled my head with visions of her and I together. They were cut short as the door shut behind them, and the only thing that was on her mind was beating her mother. HA! I laughed out loud. Renesmee beating Bella in a race, now that I would pay to see. Bella could beat any of us in a race.

"Where are they off to?" Alice asked as she walked into the kitchen, and took my paper from me.

I snatched it back. "Hunting. They'll be back in a few hours."

"Sounds fun." Alice leaned over and thumbed through the newspaper, and took her favorite section. Ugh why do people think this is style? People in this century just don't know.

I shook my head laughing at her. I decided to leave her to her paper, and wondered into the living room. The house was utterly quiet with Renesmee and Alyssa separated for the day. I heard Rosalie in Alyssa's room. They were rustling around, and I couldn't make out exactly what they were doing.

"Hey lil'bro." Emmett said as I walked into the living room. He launged on the recliner watching a game, as always, on TV. I sat down next to Jasper on the couch.

"Where's the Mrs.? I came downstairs and the place was empty." Jasper said, not taking his eyes off the TV.

"Her and Nessie went hunting for the day." I sighed.

They were only gone for an hour, and I missed them terribly. I tuned out everyone else's thoughts out as I zeroed in on Renesmee's. If I couldn't keep an eye on them in person than this will have to do.

"Can I have one?" I growled at the thought of her asking Bella if she could hunt a mountain lion on her own.

"What's with the face?" Jasper asked punching my arm.

"Bella, she's going to let Renesmee hunt her own mountain lion." I grumbled.

"She'll be fine, you really think Bella will let her go after the largest one?" Emmett said rolling his eyes. "Now if you don't mind shutting up now. I would like to watch the rest of the game in peace."

I settled back against the couch. "Damn it!" I snapped.

"What now?" Jasper asked a little annoyed.

"Bella is hiding Renesmee's thoughts from me. I swear that woman of mine is going to make my hair turn gray…" Jasper and Emmett looked at me confused.

Bro, forever frozen at 17 remember? they both thought at the same time.

"Oh I know, but she'll find a way to make it happen." They both rolled their eyes at me, and turned back to the game. It was true, I loved my wife more than anything else in this world, but she's a handful. Renesmee wasn't far behind her either. Although Bella had always been stubborn, and almost impossible to handle. Renesmee was quickly catching up, she was a spitting image of Bella in every way possible. From her chocolate eyes, to her sparkling smile, her curly hair, to her addicting laughter, but the worst part is their attitudes were becoming more and more identical with every passing day.

"Hey… earth to Edward!" Emmett pulled me from my thoughts as a pillow flew towards me. I caught it in time, and tossed it back.

"What?" I asked a little annoyed as to why he pulled me from my thoughts.

"Come work on my jeep with us. I have to do an oil change, the brakes, and then do an oil change on Rose's car." Emmett said as I followed him outside.

"Why cant she do it herself?" I asked remembering that Rosalie always worked on her own car.

"She's playing with Alyssa, so I figured I'd do it myself."

I shrugged, and walked into the garage. I played the jack while Emmett laid under the car, and Jasper handed him what he needed.

Edward, Edward can you hear me? Please hear me! We're up on the cliffs, please help us. Bella's frantic cries for help rang through my ears.

"Emmett!" I gasped, and he moved out from under the car in time for me to drop it.

"Edward, what is it?" Emmett shook my shoulders. His voice sounded further away as Bella's scared voice echoed through my mind.

"She's in trouble, I cant hear her anymore." I paced in front of Emmett.

"Who? Who's in trouble?" Jasper asked.

"Bella! DAMN IT!" The rage took over, and I punched a hole in the wall.

"Where are they?" Emmett pulled me away from the garage so I wouldn't crumble it to the ground.

"I don't know! She must have put her shield up because I don't hear them anymore." I needed to go to them, but I didn't even know where to start. We had trails all over the place, so I don't know which one they took. "ALICE!" I called out as loud as I could, and the trees shook around me.

"I don't know where she is! She's with Nessie, and I cant see her when they're together." Those were not the words I wanted to hear. Even though I knew they were true.

I lunged at my sister, "TRY!" I growled grabbing her arms.

Jasper pulled her out of my grasp, and I back away from them.

"Calm down, I'm sure they're fine. Bella knows how to protect herself and Nessie." Alice said calmly, but her thoughts rang out in panic for Bella and Rensmee.

"Than why would she call out for help in her mind? They need me!"

I felt a wave of clam come over me, and I relaxed.

"Thank you." I heard Alice whisper to Jasper.

I let him continue to calm me because I could now think straight.

"Get Carlisle and Esme back here, NOW!" I yelled at anyone who could get to a phone quicker. I watched as Jasper, Emmett, and Alice pulled out their phones. Alice got through to Esme at the same time Emmett got Carlisel.

"They were on their way home already. They'll be here in 3 minutes." Alice said as soon as she hung up the phone.

I turned and slumped over a boulder and covered my face with my hands. "Bella, whats wrong." I mumbled into my hands. "Why didn't you tell me where you were hunting? Why didn't I ask?" I continued to mumble to myself.

"EDWARD!! EDWARD HELP! EMMETT, JACOB!! SOMEONE PLEASE! JAS-"

My head shot up. This time the frightened voice was not in my head. She was in pain, someone was hurting her. I turned quickly to look at Emmett, Jasper, and Alice. Carlisle and Esme were now standing by their sides. They heard her cries too, and they were frozen as they stared in the direction her plead came from.

"I'm going!" I pushed the boulder out of my way, and it landed a few yards away, shaking the earth as it landed.

"I'm coming with you!" I didn't care to see who it was that was following me.

"Carlisle go with them! Renesmee might be hurt." Another voice rang out, but I didn't slow my pace.

I followed the sounds of struggles, and picked up my speed. Blood, I smell blood. "Renesmee!" I called out. I knew the smell of her blood. It had a faint resemblance to Bella's when she was human.

"EDWARD!" Her pain rang in every letter of my name as she screamed as loud as she could. I growl ripped through my chest. I had to focus as I heard the pain in Bella's voice. Her scream froze the four of us in our tracks.

How can a vampire be in that much pain? This doesn't make sense.

"What do you feel?" I asked realizing Jasper, Carlisle, and Emmett were the ones with me.

"She's been beaten pretty bad. The pain is that of a human's. This doesn't make sense." Jasper said mostly to himself.

I was off running again, I had to get to them. Whoever was doing this will pay, they will pay dearly. No one lays on hand on either of them, and gets away with it. I'll kill them, whoever it is. They messed with the wrong family.

"Bella!" I called out, but the forest was quiet. I couldn't hear anything.

"Bella where are you! If your hiding pull your shield back and talk to-"

I put a hand out to stop Carlisle. "Hear that?" I asked listening harder. It was a faint heartbeat, but it was beating. I smelt the air in the direction of the heartbeat. "Renesmee!"

"Edward wait!" Carlisle called after me.

I didn't listen to him. The only thing I wanted was to make sure she was ok. At the same time I saw her in a small clearing Emmett and Jasper grabbed my arms. Carlisle pushed passed me to her.

"Hey Princess. Can you hear me?" Carlisle spoke softly as he bent over her.

"Let me go!" I struggled against their grasp, but together they were a lot stronger than me. "Where's Bella?" There was no sight of her, but I could smell her fear lingering, her scent was strong so she was just here, there was another smell. One that I never smelt before. It was sweet as that of a humans, but has a old musty smell. The scent was a woman's.

"I'll see if I can follow her scent." Jasper was all to eager to get away from feeling Renesmee's pain.

He was gone and back all to quick.

"There's nothing. Not even the faintest trail. Wherever they went they disappeared." Jasper stepped back as I tried lunging at him.

"We have to find her! She would never leave Nessie here alone! Something hurt her, someone hurt them." I got away from Emmett and dropped at Carlisle's side.

"Don't touch her. She fell, I know these injuries. She's got a few broken bones, she hit her head when she hit the ground, and plenty of cuts and bruises that tell me she rolled before coming to a stop right here."

"Where did she fall from?" Emmett asked walking over to us.

"Up on the cliffs, Bella said they were up on the cliffs when I first heard her cries for help." We all looked up at the same time. I jumped to my feet, and climbed the cliff to the lowest ledge. This was it they were here, and that other woman was here also. I jumped back down to stand by Carlisle's side. "They were up there, all three scents were. They ended at the edge of the ledge, that must be where they fell."

Carlisle put his hand on my shoulder. "She'll be fine, but I cant move her like this. I don't know if she had any internal injuries. I called Esme, and she's bringing me a backboard. We will carry her back that way. I have the medical stuff from Bella still." Carlisle informed me, but I was bairly listening.

"Bella, where is she?" I whispered.

"I know the smell, This is no easy creature we're up against. She's very powerful." I stared wide eyed at Carlisle.

"Who, who is it? I can handle whoever it is!"

"No, son. She's a mortal witch. She's more powerful than Jane and Alec put together. Her power is strong enough to crumble Bella's shield. As the looks of it that's what happened here. I know she was Victoria's sister, but I don't see why she'd be coming after Bella now."

"Victoria." I growled narrowing my eyes.

"Yes she had a sister, but her sister was kept mortal because of her powers…"

"Carlisle!" Esme called out as her and Alice walked into the clearing. "Oh my God, Renesmee!" Esme knelt at her side.

Carlisle explained what happened, and held Esme as she sobbed into his arms.

"Edward help me get her on here. Support her neck." Carlisle coaxed me as I gracefully lifted Renesmee onto the backboard. Emmett and I carried her home, and Carlisle hurried ahead to set things up.
