Chapter 2 – Aftershock
"Renesmee!" I heard dad calling from downstairs and then him and dad appeared in the doorway, dad ran over to me and embraced me into a hug.
"I'm so glad your awake, we've been so worried" he said into my ear.
"I'm fine dad but that's not important" I said sternly, I looked round him towards Emmett. I ran over to him and another set of tears started.
."Emmett, I'm so sorry you have to leave because of me" I sobbed into his t-shirt.
He laughed and ruffled my hair with his enormous hand, "Don't be kid, you know I'd do anything for you".
I sighed and turned back to dad, "Me and Rosalie packed my things, what's the plan" I said almost not of my own will. I felt a tingling feeling in my stomach and I felt that I should almost take the lead . . . and then I laughed to myself. They all looked at me confused and I shook my head, "Jacob told me about this feeling he get's when he takes charge of things . . . like this and I think . . . I just felt it" I said grinning.
Dad sighed, "So Carlisle was right about the wolf stuff" he said sounding a little disappointing.
"We can talk about that later" Alice said as she suddenly appeared with Jasper, Mum, Carlisle and Esme.
"No . . ." was all dad said before he grabbed my arm, before I had even blinked I was being pulled into the garden.
"Renesmee, Run! Go! Now!" he hissed at me fiercely.
"Dad, what's going on" I said growing scared at his quick change of mood.
"The Volturi . . . Demetri tried to track Jane and Felix but he couldn't so they know that . . . we killed them and now their here . . . for"
"Me" I said before he could.
He kissed my forehead and then pushed me towards the surrounding forest, I turned around and took a few small steps backwards and then started to cry again. As dad went out of view I turned slowly and began running deep into the forest, I passed the cottage about a minute later and old memories re-visited me, like when I'd shared my first kiss with Jacob after a night of staring at the stars.
It carried on like this for about 10 minutes before I felt a sudden vibrating in the back pocket of my jeans, I placed my hand in and pulled out a small silver phone.
"Hello?" I said shakily.
"Renesmee! Be careful, Heidi is right behind you, Alice had a vision and she caught your scent easily" mum shouted, "Me and Alice are coming to help you" she continued. I gasped and the line went dead. I pulled the phone away from my ear and stared at it for a few seconds before I heard the almost silent movements behind me.
I put the phone back into my pocket and turned around, I saw Heidi watching me. Her nose was wrinkled in disgust and she was eyeing me coldly, I felt un-easy and I didn't know what to do.
"So I guess that your here to kill me" I said trying to keep my voice steady.
I saw her lips curl up slightly at the edges and she shook her head, "It's nothing like that, unfortunately Aro and Caius have decided it best if your family is . . . disposed of but no, Aro thinks' you would be somewhat of an asset to our guard" she said.
"I don't understand" I said plainly.
"Aro doesn't want to kill you . . . he wants you to join him. Must I say it any clearer than that" she asked sarcastically.
"What's happening to my family now" I asked.
She scoffed quickly and hard, "I'm afraid their time has ended" she said.
I gasped and then grew angry; I clenched my fists and then started to run back towards the house.
"If you go back they'll kill you, I was told to recruit you as discreetly as possible but their orders are . . . if you fight back to kill you" she said as she turned slowly.
"Then I'll get killed" I said sharply.
I began to run again and I pushed myself to the point where it hurt, I'd never run so fast, I didn't know if it was the wolf in me, or the vampire or the human feelings I felt for my family but whichever it was I was glad it was helping.
