"Ok then, what now?" I wondered desperately.
"Carlisle and the others are waiting on us back at the house," Alice answered. "They said to return once everything had been explained."
"Great," I exclaimed sarcastically "I was the last one to find out!"
"I'm just going to go. I will see you back at the house" Alice added and bolted for the door knowing I was annoyed.
"Yea, maybe I should go too." announced Jacob. "Should I take Nessie?"
"If you don't mind Jacob, That would be great." Edward decided.
Nessie kissed me on the check. "Bye Momma, Bye Daddy," she waved now leaving my arms to a waiting Jacob.
They were both gone and it was just me and Edward.
"Is there anything else I should know before we go?" I questioned.
"One thing. Their powers." admitted Edward. "However, before I go into that there is something I wanted to ask you without an audience. Bella, What shall we do with Nessie?"
"What do you mean? What should we do with her?"
"I mean, she is their main target and to them if they get her they have got us all" explained a concerned Edward.
"Maybe...Maybe the others will be able to come up with something." I suggested unable to think.
I was now thinking about Renesmee and how we had just crossed a barrier with the Volturi and now this. I nearly had her and my family took away from me once and I am not prepared to let that happen again. What Alice had said just now..."Over the years they have gotten stronger, far more stronger than I would've thought possible for them" was replaying in my head and it now hit me on how far this could really go.
"Bella, What's wrong?" asked Edward dragging me away from my thoughts. "What are you thinking?"
"I'm just thinking about what Alice had said earlier about how over the years she wouldn't have thought it possible for them to be as strong as they are now and I was also thinking about how we just crossed a barrier with the Volturi and now this." I bowed my head. "An hour ago everything was perfect and normal, well normal for us anyway. It just goes to show how anything is possible."
Edward was at my side with his arms wrapped around my waist.
"We have crossed many barriers from the day we met. This is just like any other barrier we have ever crossed except this time we have to take more things into account." Edward acknowledged. "It's like a bigger barrier,"
He was right though. Since the day we met our lives have been like a horse race to see if we can pass each hurdle as they come. In the end we have always passed them. I was now thinking of this situation as a much larger but still capable hurdle to jump.
"I guess your right. Your always right." I boasted to him.
He smiled with a huge grin on his face.
"Do you really think we can beat them?" I mentioned.
"I don't see why not if we all concentrate" He assured me. "One things for sure though, Emmett cannot wait!"
I laughed. "Surprise, Surprise."
I could always count on Emmett to want to fight. There was never enough fight for him.
"Oh yea, What are their powers by the way?" I pointed out remembering Edward had mentioned it.
"Ok, well first you need to know that none of us know what they look like. Once we see them though we will be able tell who each of them are. Ryan has a way of making people feel bad about themselves. By this I mean he can make people feel that they are worthless and their lives are worthless. He also has another gift Bella which is really useful, he can make people weak. He has a way of taking people's energy from them, this results in making him stronger. It is like what you lose he gains. This is where you come in with your shield, we will need to practice, right now you can hold it for up to 15 minutes but we need to be hitting around a half an hour or so to be on the safe side."
I nodded just wanting him to continue. Any questions I had could wait until he was finished.
"Emma is the strongest. I found this hard to believe when Alice told me when she had just arrived. Her power is like a computer. She can tell what people's names are and everything about them but she cannot hurt anyone mentally. Jason and Victoria were really close. She was all he had and now that she is gone he is set on destruction. He has no precise powers but he is an amazing fighter and lastly Karl who is the youngest. Karl is unusual, Alice was really surprised about him. He can move things or people without touching them. This power is called telekinesis, It is very rare and will come in useful for them."
"So that's what Alice meant when she said that the Volturi want them more than they want anyone else" I recognized.
"Yes, but like I said we are capable of defeating them. They are out for one purpose and one purpose only and that is to finish what Victoria started. They aren't prepared mentally for this and that gives us an advantage."
"Okay I understand now, so should we go and join the others?" I insisted.
"If your ready?" Edward asked.
"Yes, I'm ready."
"Then let's go."
Edward kissed me on the forehead and loosened his grapple on me.
