Chapter 2 – trouble

I paused as I walked into my bedroom at mom and dads house, I leaned in the doorway and looked at jake who was snoozing on my bed, god , he looked so adorable when he was sleeping, I walked over and sat on the bed beside him, he opened his eyes suddenly

"oh, im sorry, did I wake you?"

"yeah….." he sat up and examined my face for a few minutes

"Something's wrong, Nessie what is it?"

"No Jake im fine….."

"I know that look Nessie, what is it?"

"no really its nothing"

"Nessie" he was using the same tone that dad used when I got into trouble, I sighed

"Its…..its the volturi-"

"the volturi again?? What the hell do they want now?!?"

"me"

"what?"

"caius is coming after me Jake, he will find me…..and this time he's gunna kill me"

"kill you!?!" he was almost shouting

"I'll break his neck if he even touches you!"

I waited for him to stop shaking, he looked at me again

"im sorry……I just, cant stand the thought of anyone hurting you"

he rested his hand against my cheek, I leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips I was about to pull away but he pulled me closer, I wrapped my arms round his neck and he kissed me more passionately I felt him gently pushing me down on to the bed so that I was on my back, then there was a nock on the door and we both leapt up

"Nessie? Your dinners ready" being half human I was the only one –apart from Jake- in my house that ate supper.

"Thanks mom" and we both jumped up and ran into the kitchen.

"Quarantined???"

"No sweetie, we're not quarantining you, just keeping a close eye on you that's all" mom hushed

"b-but why??"

"Renesmee until we know when they are coming we have to keep you on 24hour guard" Alice was trying to reason with me

"I can take care of myself" I grumbled

"No you can't" dad had that serious tone in his voice again "Renesmee you may be half vampire but you're also half human, you can be vulnerable"

"Story of my life" I huffed

Ok, this is insane .no. beyond insane its CRAZY, my whole family is going completely overboard with this whole '24hour guard' thing dad has everyone guarding the house emmets guarding the front, Alice and jasper have the right hand side, Carlisle and Rosalie on the left and mom and esme have the back, he even has Jake and Seth out patrolling the woods, but dad himself insisted on staying inside with me. I'm talking about major parental control here.

I peeped through the living room door,

"Daddy?"

He looked up "yes sweetie?"

"Can I talk to you?"

"Of course" he opened his arms, and I went and sat on his lap, he put both arms round me cradling me like a baby

"Do you think they'll find me?"

"Its possible they will, but they'll never get close enough to touch you"

"Why does caius want me?"

"caius has…always had a hard time following aro's rules, all he really wants is to just do things himself……do you remember we had a gathering in the baseball clearing, shortly after you were born?"

"yes"

"well that was the day Kate and Carmen's sister irina died…… killed, by caius"

"yes I remember…"

"now he wants you"

"but I don't understand why, what have I ever done to-" I was cut short by dad putting his hand over my mouth

"something's not right" he pulled me gently off his lap and stood up he froze for a moment then turned to me

"stay here" he cautioned

Then he was out the door before I could say anything. I have to figure out what they want with me, maybe I could strike up a deal with them. I walked into my room and over to the window, then I opened it and leaned out……..no sign of anyone, I swung both my legs over the window sill and jumped.
