Chapter 3 – Decisions
I broke through the forests edge and saw the fight; I could see Jasper struggling against Alec as his gas swept across the cleanly cut grass.
I didn't know what came over me, one second I was watching the gas move and the next second I was jumping towards Alec pushing him to the ground with amazing force.
He pushed me off but I got back up easily, I started towards him again but Chelsea pinned me to the floor.
I growled ferociously but it wasn't my usual growl, it was deeper . . . more animal like.
That threw Chelsea out of focus and I managed to release myself from her grasp. She got up and begun to run when the rest of my family came closer. Demetri, Alec and Afton ran after her and I started to breathe deeply.
"That was some growl" Emmett said whistling in amazement.
Dad's eyes were wide and he pulled me into a tight hug, I hid my face away in his shoulder and then looked up quickly. "Where's mum and Alice, mum said they were looking for me" I said getting worried.
Dad pulled out a silver phone exactly like mine and dialled a number, "Bella, where are you?" he said quickly.
His face looked like cold hard stone; this was the most un-humane I'd ever seen him.
"Be careful, we'll meet up soon . . . I love you" he said sounding a little sad.
He hung up the phone and placed it back into his pocket, "Alice has seen what's coming" he said as he turned towards everyone else, his arm still around my shoulders.
"What is it Edward" Esme asked in her soothing voice.
"A war, everyone . . . every vampire the Volturi has ever been in contact with, they're coming here to kill" he said slowly.
"Where's mum" I asked.
"She and Alice are at Charlie's, the Volturi have split into groups, their all over the world. It's all over." He said.
I turned to look at him and my eyes were wide with shock. "What are you talking about dad, it's just beginning, you saw how we handled them earlier, now imagine what we could do with everyone else's help" I said encouragingly.
"Ness . . . it's not like that, Alice said it's us against them all, were . . . the world's last hope" he said sighing; I pulled away from him and shook my head slowly in disgust.
"Dad . . . your telling me to give up, I . . . look up to you, your the person I want to be like when I'm training all the time, your basically my hero but this . . . stranger, standing in front of me telling us to quit, I don't know him at all" I breathed deeply and a tear rolled down my face. I turned around and smiled at my family.
"Like Alice said, were the last hope and if the Volturi are splitting up, we should be too" I stuck my hand into my pocket and pulled out my phone, "These should come in handy too, so we should make sure they're always turned on but be careful not to be within hearing range of any Volturi. I also think we should split up randomly, they will expect Rosalie to be with Emmett or myself to be with mum or dad so I think we should head off in different directions around the world and lay low for a little while" I hadn't realised I was walking backwards and forwards until Esme placed a hand on my shoulder.
"An excellent idea Renesmee, I think that would be our best bet" Carlisle said smiling. I nodded and then turned to dad; he smiled weakly and I walked over to hug him.
"I might not see you for a while dad and I want you to know, you'll always be my hero even if you do doubt we have a chance" I whispered into his ear. I felt his arms tighten and another tear rolled down my face, "Dad, I'm going to go with Emmett . . . if he doesn't mind" I said turning to him.
"Err . . . not at all, if that's what you want" he said sounding surprised.
"Carlisle, we should go to Argentina, me and Emmett have a house up there and we can leave now because of the time difference, it's still night time over there" Rosalie said.
Carlisle nodded and then smiled at dad, he smiled falsely back to him and hugged me again.
"I'll ring you everyday, I love you so much" he said.
That's when the tears began. We stayed in each others arms for an immeasurable amount of time and only when Carlisle coughed did we release each other.
"We'll take the Jeep, it's bigger and more noticeable but it'll get us to the airport quicker" Emmett said as he turned to kiss Rosalie.
After they had finished Rosalie turned to me and smiled, she walked over to me and hugged me tightly. Esme and Carlisle did the same after her and then I and Emmett headed towards the garage.
"I love you Renesmee" I heard dad whisper; I couldn't turn around because if I did . . . I wouldn't have been able to leave.
