Rensemee's POV (forest near the Cullen House)
Jane.
I ran closer and closer to the source of the scent I could smell, uncharacteristicly sadistic thoughts racing through my mind, going as quickly as my feet. I had waited for what seemed like a lifetime to be able to get everything I had bottled up off my chest. I blamed the Voulturi for everything I had been denied because of that one crisp Decemebr morning when our two sides met.
I finally got to the tree where I knew Jane was sitting. I looked up, not giving away any of the emotions I felt, only portraying comeplete and utter confidence. However, my little facade did not survive long as when I looked up into the branches of the tree I could see that the bright crimson eyes staring me back at me were not Jane's. Instead the person looking back at me, mirroring me in the confidence I had depicted, though I was certain that theirs was not fake, was Alec. The problem with those two is that because their twins their scents are quite easy to confuse.
'Suprised to see me?' He asked, effortlessly jumping down from the branch. For a moment, I said nothing. I just took in the sight in front of me.
Alec was about 5ft 10, (A/N I know that in the books he's only around ft, but apparently Cameron Bright who plays him is aroung this height) with what could just be considered short, dark hair. His eyes were a deep crimson colour, indicating that he had fed fairly recently but had probebly not had much hunting time since arriving in America. He carried an aura of uncertainty with him, never quite showing you his exact mood. This bugged me the most, I'm quite like my father in that I like to know exactly who it is I'm talking to. I came to the conclusion that he was certainly very physically attractive, I'm not blind, that was the only good thing about him. Realizing he had asked me a question, I answered,
'I thought that you were your sister'
He seemed to find this funny, because he let out a deep laugh and repiled 'ican assure you that I am not my sister, dearest Renesmee. I take it that as you know I have sister, you recongnise me?'
I regained my false confidence and put up my facade once again, confidently replying,'oh but of course dearest Alec. How on earth could I forget you?' My voice light but dripping with sacrcasm.
'Quite', he said, his voice lightly brushed with amusement.
'So why exactly is the infamous Italian vampire Alec of the Voulturi here in Forks?' I asked, keeping my voice low so not to destroy the 'atmosphere' of the conversation we seemed to have created.
'Ah, now this is where it gets interesting', he replied, his tone mirroring my own, although his had a hint of smugness to it, 'I am here to watch you. I am here to find out exactly what it is that makes you so different from us full vampires. And to see how you have managed to form such a. . . close relationship with the shapeshifters that live near you.'
'WHAT!' I exclaimed, shocked that the Voulturi thought that they had the right to just walk into our lives and put the life we had built for ourselves here in jepordy. My entire family was going to be furious. Dad had said that he thought the Voulturi had backed off the last time they came here because of the embarassment they had suffered. I guess dad had completely misjudged them.
I then kicked myself for losing my cool in front of Alec, something that I should know how to do. I had, afterall, spent my entire life practising on my family. That must have been what caused the slightly smug tone in his voice when he spoke to me.
'Right'. I said, having regained control of my emotions and most importanly my voice, 'explain everything to me I want the full details. If you're going to invade my life, then you better have a good excuse.' I was secretly quite proud of how bold I sounded, I never spoke o anyone like that.
'You sure you won't freak out again?' Alce asked, a smirk of his face accompanying his teasing but dark tone.
'I'm sure' I replied, copying him exactly.
He jumped back into the tree, picking me up with him despite my protests and seating me next to him on the branch as he replayed the events that had taken place in the Voulturi Castle yesterday.
We continued our conversation until I heard a panicked call of 'NESSIE' In the distance, with a voice that sounded suspiciously like my mothers. I looked at my watch. Turned out that I'd asked more questions than I'd thought. I had been officially missing as far as my family was concerned for 15 minutes. That was like 15 days to them. Oh dear.
'Don't tell me they still call you that awful nickname', Alec remarked, still relaxed. That annoyed me.
'How can you be so calm? My family could render you defenseless and kill you in no time at all and you seem to find this funny! And for your information, I like my nickname!' Okay, so that last part was a lie. I absoloutley detested my nickname, and I could tell by Alec expression that my face gave that away.
'Don't be a coward Nessie' He said in a patronising tone 'They have to know I'm here sometime, and there's not time like the present'.
'I'm not a coward' I said defensively, and jumped down form the branch, getting revenge from earlier and pulling him down with me, although it didn't seem to take him by suprise much.
'Over here mum!' I shouted ' and before you come over, I need you to not freak out and call dad, expand your shield if you have to.' Dad's temper was most defianltly not what was needed right now. But not much shocked mum, so she would probably be fine. Probably.
I listened her footsteps until she was I could see her. I was right. Although she seemed suprised, she looked okay with the scene in front of her. ' Well, this is. . . suprising'
Alec took a step in front of me, looked my mother straight in he eye and said 'hello Bella, it is nice to see you again. Its' been what, seven years? Anyway, I ask you to please not react the same way your daughter did, she has quite a pair of lungs on her, but I have been sent here by Aro to observe Renesmee's life and what the main differences are between her and the rest of the vampire world. Aro does send his apologies, but your coven resmebles ours the most, so we need to see how she is in this kind of enviornment'
Mum rolled her eyes and said 'well you had better come to the house and speak to the others then, but I'm warning you our reception will not be a warm one, and one foot out of place and I will set fire to you personally.'
'Of course' Alec said in a surpisingly respectful tone. With that we all ran up to Grandpa Carlisle and Grandma Esme's house, ready to face the family.
Why did this stuff always have to happen to me?
