A half an hour had past and we had still yet to find them. I was beginning to sense something was not right. We stopped.
"That's it. We have covered our area. If they are still here the wolves will find them." Carlisle declared.
"Then they aren't here. From what I hear from Sam the wolves have finished too!" Edward announced.
"Something is wrong" I confessed. "I can feel it!"
I looked at everyone while saying this then Edward held my hand. I looked at Alice once more. She had the expression on her face that I recognized time and time again. She was having a vision!
"Ohh...No...Ohh...No!" Alice hesitated.
"Alice, What is it? Alice what's wrong? I asked her getting worried.
"Edward is right they aren't here. They...They have....NESSIE!" Alice announced.
Edward and Emmett both let out a very loud snarl. Edward's face tightened. I froze on the spot. A feeling rushed through me. I had felt it before. It felt like a part of me was took away. It was the same feeling I got when Edward left me! I was about to run but then Carlisle said, "How did they know where we were and that Nessie was not with us!"
"They smelt our scent when we were on our way here and they only smelt seven of us. They knew that Jake wasn't with us so Nessie would be were Jake was and they instantly ran the opposite direction and headed for the house where they thought they would be then it happened. Esme and Jake didn't know anything was going to happen and they weren't ready to defend themselves so Ryan took all their energy from them" Alice answered really quickly. This time though I knew what she had said.
"Alice you can only tell things that happen in the future so we still have a chance of getting back to the house in time!" Carlisle pointed out.
"We don't. They will be hitting the house in 30 seconds." Alice frantically said.
"I'M STILL WONDERING WHY WE ARE STANDING HERE" I shouted.
I left go of Edward's hand and headed back to the house. Edward was by my side before I could turn around. He took hold of my hand again. Then when I turned around Carlisle and the others were behind me! I looked at Edward then picked up the pace and was running as fast as I had ever ran before. I realized I was running for my daughter's life! The house came into view. On the outside it was the same way we had left it. Edward ran in front of me and opened the door.
"NESSIE" I yelled frantically as I ran in. The others were instantly behind me. "NESSIE" I yelled again though it was too late. Esme and Jake were lying on the floor not moving. Ryan had did what Alice said and took their energy from them! Carlisle ran over to Esme and I ran over to Jake. Jake looked lifeless.
"I'm so sorry Bella." Jake apologized. "I'm gonna kill 'em"
Jake got up angrily and the colour was coming back into his cheeks. He started shaking.
"JAKE WHERE DID THEY GO?" I shouted with anger running through me knowing Jake was going to change form.
I looked over at Esme who had her head buried in Carlisle's chest.
"They headed into the forest" Jake answered. He was in his wolf form the minute those words came out of his mouth.
Edward grabbed me and started running. He put me down on my feet when we were outside the house. It must have been about 6.00am in the morning. The daylight was staring to come through and the sun was shining. We were running swiftly through the forest. Loud snarls was coming from Edward and howls coming from Jake. I looked at Edward and his diamond skin was beautiful. I still wasn't really used to it yet!
"We are right behind you guys. We aren't going anywhere" Emmett said from behind.
I turned around and saw them all there. I smiled at them as best I could. I knew it was very weak. They were putting themselves at risk for Nessie and that meant alot to me. I just couldn't show it right now.
"He can smell them" Edward announced looking in Jake's direction.
Edward suddenly snarled "No, I am taking Ryan!"
Jake howled at him.
"Fine we both take him, the more the better" Edward responded.
"Bella, Rosalie, Alice, take Emma. She may be their strongest but she cannot be that strong!" Edward ordered. I nodded.
"Emmett and Jasper, take Jason" Edward told them. I heard a 'Yesss' coming from Emmett.
"Esme and Carlisle, take Karl. Remember they have Nessie, KILL THEM! Edward demanded. "The wolves are right behind us"
I looked around and Sam, Embry, Quil, Leah, Seth, Jared and Paul were all their. The more I saw them the bigger they got.
"Sam, you, me, Jake and Paul take Ryan. Bella, Rosalie, Alice and Leah take Emma. Emmett, Jasper, Embry and Quil take Jason. Esme, Carlisle, Seth and Jared take Karl." Edward announced to them again with concentration! "They have Renesmee so remember don't do anything that will risk harming her and Bella when I nudge you release your shield!"
I looked ahead again and saw the four vampires and my daughter up ahead. Ryan had Renesmee in his arms. She looked so scared. When she saw us coming she was grabbing her arms out for me. Edward grabbed hold of my arm when he saw the look of terror and sadness spread across my face. I tightened my hand around his. The vampires were just standing there with smirks on their faces. They seemed so confident. I looked around at where we were and I vaguely recognized the place from my human memories. It was where Laurent tried to kill me and where I saw the wolves for the first time. I was actually surprised I remembered it because there were very few things I did remember.
"What do we have here" Ryan sarcastically said when he saw us vampires but when the wolves came into view I heard each of them gasp.
They were all wearing the same clothes when I saw them in Nessie's wolves let out howls and Edward, Emmett, Jasper and Carlisle to my surprise let out snarls. We were now all positioned in a line ready to attack.
"What you have here are the vampires and wolves about to destroy you lot the same way they did to your family!" Edward smirked confidently.
I laughed under my breath at his comeback. It was impressive but obviously not to them. I saw Jason about to launch but Ryan stared at him. Suddenly he calmed down. They reminded me so much of the Volturi. The way they looked, the way they talked and their facial expressions!
"If I were you Edward I would remember I have your daughter right here" He said pointing to Nessie. "She is a pretty little thing, very feisty probably get's that from you. We wouldn't want her getting hurt now would we?" He threatened.
"And if I were you I would know that if you lay one finger on her you'll be in for a heck of a surprise" Edward cautioned him with his teeth clenched together.
"I think I can live with that" Ryan smirked.
"Yes, well that is part of the problem and part of where you are wrong because you won't be living with it." Edward told him.
He knew fine rightly that Edward meant he would kill him.
"Look Edward, face it, the best thing for you to do right now is keep your mouth shut!" He angrily told him.
"No you face it the best thing for you to do right now is keep YOUR mouth shut or we'll shut it for you!" Edward threatened.
This was making him really mad. It was making them all really mad! Edward nudged me and I knew the fight was about to start. I released my shield with all the force I had. I didn't stretch it out to far. I didn't see the need when we were all standing close together. Ryan handed Renesmee to Emma and looked down. He looked up again so quick and came running towards us. Edward let go of my hand and said "Get our daughter. I'll see you soon. I love you" and he kissed my cheek. Sam, Jake and Paul were all around Edward ready to kill Ryan who was now in front of them.
I kept my shield held out. Ryan tried to take their energy from them but failed miserably. I looked ahead again and Jason was launching himself at a now ready Emmett, Jasper, Embry and Quil. Emmett was so ready for this. Then came Karl launching himself at Esme, Carlisle, Seth and Jared. His eyes looked so ravenous up close. Emma stood in the distance and didn't move. I noticed she didn't have Renesmee. She came launching towards me, Rosalie, Alice and Leah.
"Where is Nessie?" I asked Alice confused.
"Right there" Alice told me.
I looked ahead to where she was pointing and Nessie hands were held up by chains strapping her to the tree and chains strapped around her body. She was about 30 metres out in the distance. Emma had suddenly landed and Rosalie, Alice, Leah were all over her. For now they didn't need me. I looked around at the others. There was a huge fire burning and I wondered, who lit it? Nobody was dead yet then I wondered, Who actually was going to die? Could my family be broken apart forever? Why did they leave Nessie where we could see her? Was it a trap?
So many questions and one had yet to be answered.
