Chapter 16

Pounce and Protect

"Aro! Get off of him!" I panicked and I pounced on top of the two now fighting vampires.

"Not til' he gives the Volturi Renesme!" Aro protested.

Edward and I both released our grip on Aro and we stared at him confused.

"Aw! Come on, Edward. You should've known that the Volturi wanted Renesme, not my brother's pathetic mortal child." Aro snorted.

I stared at him with furious eye's, hoping he would get the meaning.

"Why do you want, Renesme?" Edward snarled.

"Think about it. She is a half- mortal, half- vampire. If she came to the Volturi, just think about how much more powerful we could make her power worth. Just one little bite."

"No! You will never get Renesme." I yelled. I would've killed right there and then but Edward read my implications and he held me back, with too much force.

"Oh! I believe we have succeeded that already, my dear!" Aro laughed.

What! Edward! Do something! How did he get Nessie? What does he mean? I snapped at Edward through my thoughts.

"Bella, they have Renesme. They came in a rush, each of them. Each Vulturi member. They took Renesme from Richie's house and they have her captivated." Edward explained with each word slowly slipping out of his mouth.

"What? How! What the hell? How come Alice didn't have a vision. This doesn't make any sense." I blurted out with each word just running out.

"Bella, put you're shield over us. He doesn't need to hear our thoughts." Edward said while grabbing my hand.

I did as I was told and I tried to figure out why the Volturi took my baby girl, Nessie.

We stood there in silence for what seemed like hours and finally Aro's voice broke the eery silence.

"In case you're wondering, I will make a trade. Renesme for something of the Volturi's choice." Aro said, smiling suspiciously.

I glanced at Edward and tried to make an expression that I didn't know what to say, but he did the same.

"I can give you sometime to think about it. But the more time you wait-"

"Yes." I breathed. "We'll do anything to get our baby back."

Edward looked at me with a horror- struck look on his face, but it soon disappered into a curious expression.

"I see. You made a wise desicion. Would like to know what we would like to recieve in the return of Renesme?" He eyed me, and I flinched away from his evil grin.

"Yes. But if there is one mark on Renesme or if she tells us one harmful thing that you threatened her with. So help me-" Edward rambled.

"Relax. Nessie is as safe as can be. But if you do not like our offer then, we will have to change her."

"Just tell us what you evil mongrels want." Edward said venomously.

"First, I would like to explain why we want this someone. Fist of all, we knew that this couple would make excellent acquaintences to our coven and they would forever be in our hands. Caius, Marcus, and I decided that if we go through you two to get the people we want, then it would be easy and no fighting necessary." Aro explained.

I gulped at the realisation that I made.

"You. Want. J- Jacob. A- and. A- Abi." I explained.

Edward hissed and Aro laughed.

"My, my. Edward you sure know how to choose the woman. Beautiful and smart. Just like the girlfriend you first had, about fifty years later when you turned into a vampire." Aro said.

"You didn't tell me you had another girlfriend, Edward. You said you never had one." I stared at him with anger written all over my face.

"He's lying, love. Can't you see he wants us to fight. So, we will seperate and it will make it easier for the Volturi to get all of what he wants. Bella, it's his plan." Edward explained nurishingly.

"You're right, I just am so mad right now. Edward, what are we going to do? We can't let them harm Jake and Abi or Renesme. That is our family." I said forgetting that we weren't alone.

"Well, it was worth a shot. So, what is you're decision? Should I bring Renesme to you're house. Or should I have you bring Jake and Abi to our house that we accompanying right now."

I was about to decline and kill him, but then we were interrupted by Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Jacob, Abi, Esme, and Carlisle.

Alice was in the middle of a vision, but then Edward and Aro broke her vision when they raced through the door.

We all followed them, but we didn't know where they were headed. Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme followed Aro.

The rest of us followed Edward.

"Alice, what was you're vision about?" I asked while running along side her.

"You'll see whenever Edward stops." She said and she looked like she was crying- tearless sobs.

I looked blankly at her, but she kept her head still and facing our subject.

I glanced back at Jacob; he had Abi on his back. She was clinging to his fur because he was rushing to keep up with Edward.

Jacob eye's were fierce and hard. They strared right at me and I looked back forward because they creeped me out too much.

About five minutes later, Edward abruptly stopped with a hault and we all stopped along side him, when we met up with him.

I took his hand in mine and he didn't seem to notice at all. He was just looking straight ahead.

His eye's were black, with anger and defiance.

I looked where he looked and if I had not been a vampire. My heart would have stopped and I would have fainted right away at the sight that was staring me face- to- face. Enemy- enemy. Love- love. Forever- forever. Happiness- happiness.

I looked at the rest of my family who was now right beside us and they made the same expression as I. All of them, including Jacob, had their wives and girlfriends protected behind them fiercely. Edward realised what lied ahead for us and he pushed me behind him and he stood in a protective stance right in front of me.

I closed my eyes, thinking what was coming straight for us, was not. We were now in danger and we were not preparred. We had a werewolf, human, and vampires. But I was sure we wre not ready to face what was coming to fight, I was sure.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jumped. I looked back and I stood there frozen.

We were surrounded.

I unleashed my shield and I sent thoughts franticly towards Edward.

I love you, Edward. Forever and ever. We will alway's be together. Alway's. I promise that I love you. I send you hugs and kisses, and my heart, as I predict you are doing the same. I love you, Edward.

Edward then grabbed my hand and kissed it. For the last time.

We were surrounded. Never to see eachother. Never again.
