REVIEW & ENJOY
Edward POV
I greeted the guards at the entrance and slowly walked inside with Jasper at my side. I hadn't been here for years, the last time I was here was when Bella had come to rescue to me. I felt my body go rigid but I kept myself in control. A small human girl led us to the room where Aro stayed. The way the Volturi used humans made me sick. We walked into the room where Aro's face immediately lit up as he walked over to me to shake my hands, no doubt reading my thoughts.
'Edward, Jasper' he exclaimed his face beaming with delight 'welcome, oh what a treat, look Jane, Alec, look who's came to visit us' he motioned over to them to come and greet us.
Yuck, and he brought the creepy one along with him aswell. Jane mentally thought as she came over to shake our hands. Alec's thoughts were also in line with Jane's.
Aro took a few steps back and settled himself in his chair and motioned for us to do so aswell so we sat.
'And to what do we owe the pleasure Edward? He asked 'And where is the lovely Bella and Alice today?' He added further.
'We were in the area; just sight-seeing, Bella and Alice are staying at home with Renesmee.' I answered trying to make my voice gentle.
'Of course of course' Aro stated. 'And how is the beautiful Renesmee?' he asked simply.
'She is still grieving over the loss of her child.' I answered coldly. 'You haven't happened to see her have you?' I asked bitterly. Jasper shot me a sharp glance, making sure I didn't push it too far.
Aro looked at his palms and that's when his blocked mind slipped. They were all trying extremely hard to keep me out of their minds but it was Aro's mind that slipped.
In his mind I clearly saw a beautiful girl around the age of eleven, glossy wavy long black hair down her back, green eyes dancing around the castle, smiling and laughing in a pretty dress. A memory. From this morning. I felt my body freeze and I went rigid, that's when Aro looked up and stared at me directly in the eyes. I couldn't believe it. For six years they had kept Scarlett captive, caused my daughter to break. I stood up and I bared my teeth. Jasper shot up beside me and restrained me gently.
'YOU' I barked at Aro.
Aro stood up. 'Now, now Edward, I know you must be angry but trust me she is perfectly happy here, she is fine, she loves Eva, she doesn't know anything about vampires.'
'WHO THE HELL IS EVA, WHERE IS SHE?' I barked, rushing out of the room before I could hear his reply. I heard Jane tearing after me but Aro held her back.
'Enough' I heard him say 'let him, it's none of our business anymore, I was going to return the girl, it was Eva' and then I heard the doors close. Whoever this Eva was surely was going to pay. I tore through the castle and found Emmett in a huge room hovering over girl's clothes and shoes. I smelt a beautiful scent. It was mostly human but a trace of flowers, perfume. This was definitely her room.
'She was here' Emmett asked holding up a notebook with her name on it.
'I know' I replied.
'She isn't in the castle Edward.'
'That's what Alice must have seen, she left the castle with this Eva person, come on we have to go.' I ran as I picked the phone up to tell Jacob.
SCARLETT POV
After mommy had taken me to have something to eat she took me to the beach where I ran on the sand. I was in a bikini, it was so hot. My heart felt cold though; lately I had been thinking of the girl with bronze hair a lot, it was getting more absolute. I had also started to remember words she had said I remembered being in her arms and she called me beautiful which was ridiculous because she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I was starting to think that these weren't just dreams they were memories and I longed to find this pretty girl even if I didn't know who she was. She was so pretty and kind and I think that I loved her. If she was real I hoped she loved me too. I hadn't told mommy any more dreams I had of this girl because they made her sad, though I didn't know why. Mommy had told me to wear sun glasses. It was amazing the beach was, I had never been before. I felt as free as a bird, I jumped up in the air but I jumped way to high, it wasn't normal, and I didn't clatter back down. I floated down gracefully. That wasn't normal now. I saw a girl who had been watching me; she turned her face up in disgust and moved away from me. I was hurt. I had never seen any other girls my age; in fact I had never really seen anyone. I wasn't normal, normal people couldn't jump that high up and defy gravity. My mom looked at me and then looked away quickly reading her book. She probably thought I was a freak aswell. That's when I noticed something. Three men were hovering over my mom, just inches away from her. They were tall and one of them was huge. He had black hair like mine and the others had white skin like mine and they looked so scary. I nearly let out a scream.
'Mommy run' I shouted.
JACOB POV
When I had met up with Edward, Emmett and Jasper, Edward had relayed everything to me. I was so angry but I was so happy at the same time. One way or another those disgusting leeches were going to pay but knowing she was alive and well and happy was ecstasy. Renesmee would be okay again, I wanted to phone her and tell her but we needed to find her first. We got in the car and searched everywhere when Emmett suggested we try the beach. I glared at him thinking it was a ridiculous idea but we drove down to the beach nearest to the main city and the castle and parked the car. We walked down the steps and scanned the beach, searching for Scarlett's scent. We walked up and down and that's when my eyes rested on a small human woman reading a book. She had lank brown hair and skin so white it looked like she had never seen the sun before. She had small brown eyes and a pointy face and a few feet away from her was a girl running on the sand in a bikini, with long black waves of hair flowing down her back. I knew it was her and the others did too. We had found her. We walked towards the woman and that's when she noticed us. She looked terrified as she screamed 'mommy run.'
Mommy? Is this what crap the volturi had spurted her off with? Placing her with a human woman and pretending everything was normal and had this woman raise her as her own. I didn't feel angry towards the human woman. It wasn't her fault, she couldn't defeat the volturi and at least she had kept her safe. Scarlett was so beautiful; she looked just like Renesmee, and unfortunately Edward. She had my hair though which I was happy about.
'Don't be scared' I said my voice gentle, edging towards her. I knew she'd love Renesmee, I wish I'd have brought Nessie with me; she would be more willing to go with her. She didn't even try to run, she grew rigid and she looked scared but she also looked uncertain and wary.
'Who are you' I heard the human bark standing up 'stay away from my daughter'
I motioned for Edward to go and speak to Scarlett whilst I dealt with this pesky annoying human. My sympathy for her was slipping away.
'Your daughter?' I asked with a bitter laugh.
'Yes, my daughter, move away from her' she said, trying to maintain a steady voice but she looked scared I could hear her heart racing.
'She isn't your daughter' I said edging closely to her. 'And you know she isn't your daughter don't you?' she didn't answer.
'She is mine.' I said slowly and I saw the woman swallow in fear.
'She's mine and Renesmee's, my wife Renesmee, have you heard that name? I bet you have.
She flinched and edged back and started to cry and shake.
'I'm sorry, they made me keep her, I'm so sorry, please don't take her away from me.'
I laughed once and turned around to Scarlett who looked horror struck.
She walked towards Eva and stopped short in front of her. 'You aren't my mother?' she asked, but it was more of a statement than a question.
Eva shook her head, crying. 'I'm sorry honey; I love you so much though you are still my daughter.'
She ignored her and turned around to face me.
'You're my dad?' she asked, her voice was shaky. I bent down so I was on the same level as her.
'Yes, I am' I replied, looking her in the eyes and I gently removed her sunglasses. Her eyes were a piercing green, Edward's old eyes. She was truly stunning. Hesitantly she took a step towards me and placed her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly.
'Yes, and that is your mom' Edward replied answering her thoughts. I picked her up with her head still buried in my shoulder and turned to face Edward.
'She knows what Nessie looks like?' I asked him.
'As clear as a picture, she remembers being in her arms, she loves her.'
I smiled, I felt like I was in heaven. She loved me and she loved Nessie.
'Let's go home' I said.
'Hold on' Scarlett said. She jumped down and ran over to Eva and hugged her tightly.
'Please don't go' Eva sobbed into her chest.
'I want to see my mommy' she replied simply. 'I always knew she was real, in my heart.'
I felt bad for Eva. Where would she go now, what would she do?
'Can I come?' she asked pleadingly. 'I really want to meet Renesmee, I really do.'
I bit my lip. I was hesitant.
'And then I'll be on my way, I just want to talk with Renesmee and meet her and then I'll leave I promise.'
I hesitated but then agreed. I think she needed to talk with Nessie. I wasn't sure Nessie would like it though and if her presence made Nessie upset she'd be out of the house faster than she could blink.
I bought Scarlett some new clothes and then we drove back to the airport and boarded the plane. Home to Renesmee. Home to start life again.
