Chapter 17

Desperation

I was clinging onto Edward, and he was protectively standing infront of me, ready to punce at any instant moving. I was clinging on to his hand, for what will probably for the last time, but he jept kissing my hand anytime I thought of the end was coming or that I loved him.

We were about to fight the Volturi, my family. Each Volturi member was angry running toward's us and they were prepared for a war against the Cullen's and Jacob. Also, our human friend Abi.

Aro must have been running toward's his member's, because he was running beside Jane and Caius. Marcus was with Alec, which was right behind them. The next row consisted of the wives; Didyme, Sulpicia, Athenodora. Also, Demetri, Chelsea, Renata, and a member that I did not recognize. She was stunning; more beautiful than Rosalie and I combined.

This member had long, wavy, light brown hair. Her eye's were red; this meant a new born.

I was immediatley scared. If she was a newborn and Renesme was in their reach, then this meant she could have killed her.

Without a sign, I ran forward towards my most hated enemies and I was ready to punce on every one of them.

If they did kill or hurt Renesme, they were going to pay for it! I wouldn't lt anyone of them live, they killed an innocent vampire.

Before I could reach the rabid newborn, Edward and Emmett caught up and flung me back. It took all my strength for me not to go over there and kill each Volturi member. But I calmed myself down, and atleast Edward let me go.

But he didn't do it because I was settling myself down, Jane was now over here and putting pain and agony in Edward's thoughts.

I put my shield over him, but within a few seconds it was gone. My shield was no more. I was so confused, how come it wasn't working?

I pushed Emmett's hands off my shoulder's with a nudge and he didn't react, he just put his arm's to his side.

I ran over to Edward, but I was caught in action with a vision of terror. I couldn't figure it out, but I knew this was Jane's being.

"Agh!" I yelled in agony.

"Stop that!" I heard Abi yell in fear.

The terror never stopped and I was just laying on the ground screaming. I hated this. I yelled for her to stop, but she didn't.

Why wasn't our family helping?

"Help!" I pleaded.

"Offf!" I heard and then I was back to normal. I got up quickly to see Carlisle, Jasper, and Emmett pinning Jane to the ground.

Within seconds the newborn was in the dogpile and ripping each Cullen off without an effort.

"RACHELLE!" Aro yelled from aside. "Let them be. You are much to powerful for them to handle." He finished with aloud evil laugh.

"What are you talking about, Aro? What is this newborn?" Alice said from behind Jasper, helping him up.

"You see. Our member's who can see the future, we've been experimenting with the power. First of all, we told them to try they're best to see if any people had the potential as a vampire. One of the member's took one of our prey's aside during eating hour, which is the stunning Rachelle, and he took her hand in his and he looked into her eye's. He was kucky enough to see the future for her, and he saw her as the best and most powerful vampire in the world. So, long story short. We took her aside, chnaged her and now she is the stunning vampire she is today!" Aro explained.

"You should try it, Alice. Too bad you won't be able to see the future much longer after we are through with yo and you're family." Chelsea squealed.

"Enough, Chelsea. They still have a choice, either give us Abi and Jacob. Or let us keep Renesme." Aro said. "And if you're wondering what Rachelle's power is, it is most devious. She can take away any power a vampire has, and she uses it. She also knows what a power is that a vampire has, so it helps so much."

That explained where my shield went. But, would I be able to retrieve it?

I was now standing beside Edward and I clutched onto his hand. The other's did the same. I noticed that Jacob looked ready to kill something and I had a feeling he was going to pounce and kill one of the member's.

As I was watching him, he sat Abi behind Alice and Jasper, and he ran full speed ahead.

Edward and I ran toward's him, but Aro haulted us.

"Settle. I know you think Renesme is being harmed, but she is not. We didn't let Rachelle anywhere near her. She is being guarded by some Volturi member's. We won't harm her, only if you make the right decision." Aro smiled meakly.

I hated him so much, he thought he was so smart, but I know Nessie would find a way out of that trap. I just had to think positive.

Aro smiled at my implication.

"If you do harm her, beware. We still have vampire in our alliance out there in the world." Edward snarled.

With this Jake nudged my hand and he gestured his head for me to go with him. Jacob and I began running again and our family joined, but Jasper and Alice stayed behind with Abi.

Rachelle and Jane ran toward's us, followed by Caius and Macus.

Aro didn't interfere, until almost everybody was devoured.

"Hault! We made a deal. Now, which will you choose?" Aro interefered.

"We will not accept, we will fight agianst you. You will never get anywhere near Jake or Abi. And we will get Renesme." Edward said bearing his teeth.

"Well, well. We'll see about that." With that conclusion Aro pulled out his phone and called the people who were holding Renesme.

I would not let this happen, so I ran to him and I was abruptly haulted by none other then Rachelle.

She pulled me toward's her and started biting at me.

I could not fight back I was frozen in spot.

This was now the end.

"I love you, Edward. Do not forget me! I love you all!"
