Chapter 7

Renesmee

I was watching Supernatural when it happened. I hardly noticed at first, I was still engrossed with Dean and Sam. Then my dad said "no" in a really tense voice, and I looked up. Aunt Alice had frozen in place, and my dad was gripping a chair so hard that it was splintering.

"What is it?" I asked

"Nessie, go get everyone, okay?" Alice asked me. She was still looking at Dad.

"Okay." I ran through the house (which took me less than 5 seconds) and soon everyone was gathered around Alice and Dad.

"Guys, you know I hate it when you do that conversation in your head thing, right?" Uncle Emmett growled. "I'm not the only one who wants to know what's going on."

"The Volturi are coming," Dad said.

"Edward, is it about Nessie?" my frantic mother asked.

Dad sighed, "Yes, Bella, I think it is."

Everyone tensed, but almost as soon as that happened, we were calm again, thanks to Uncle Jasper.

"Alright, everyone, calm down," Carlisle said. "Alice, what exactly did you see?"

"It wasn't the whole Volturi," Alice replied "but it was only Alec and another young female vampire, who I don't recognize."

"When will they be here?" Rosalie quickly asked.

"In two days."

Well, that sent the house into a frenzy. Dad alerted Jacob and the wolf pack, Jasper and Emmett practiced fighting, Rose helped Esme, Alice tried to see more of Alec, the mysterious vampire girl and the Volturi, and Mom just fretted over me and practically drove me crazy. And that's how it went for the next two days, and I was about ready to kill myself.

Two long days later, we waited in front of the house, where Alice saw us and them in her vision.

"Get ready," she told us. "They're just about here."

Jake and Seth were ready, both of them in their wolf forms, with Embry and Quil protecting the borders with Leah back at La Push. Everyone else was ready for a fight. And I was mad as hell. Why did these vampires insist on making my existence miserable? Couldn't they just leave me alone?

"It's time." We looked at Alice, then at the mouth of the forest, where we could see two figures coming.

As soon on the two of them came into the clearing, Jake pounced. He landed on Alec. Immediately, Emmett took over and grabbed Alec, keeping his hands behind his back and holding his head as if he were about to rip it off. We heard a whine and turned around. We were so focused on Alec that we didn't pay attention to the girl. Seth had attempted to get her, but was being suspended in the air. She looked around.

"I am the mind reader," my father said with a smirk as a look of outrage came over the girl's face.

"Great. Read my mind, see we mean no harm, let Alec go and I let the mutt go," the girl said. She spoke with a tone that suggested that she had been in situations similar to these, which surprised me. She was definitely not as innocent as she looked.

"It doesn't work that way," Dad said, "you could make up a lie, I cannot trust you completely." A pause. "There is no need for such language."

Seth wined again, then growled. Jacob growled too, but did nothing that would put Seth at risk.

"I'll twist his head off," Emmett said, kicking Alec and keeping a firm grip on his head, "unless you tell us why you're here and where the rest of you are."

"I'm here because I want information you can help me get, he's here because he's my friend, and we were supposed to see Renesmee and the Cullens, friends of Aro. Are you them?" she spoke with authority, but with an attitude. I'd expect that too, if my friend was about to have his head twisted off by Emmett.

"We're not friends," Emmett said, "They tried to kill us."

"Yeah, I heard about that. Guess what? Nothing to do with me. That's not why we're here. The world doesn't revolve around you and you're family. Get over that, because I really don't give a crap. It's pretty obvious that Renesmee's not a threat, or immortal child, or whatever. I freakin' here because I want to see the physic!" she was screaming at us by the end, making Seth shake in midair; he whined.

"Why do you want to see her?" Carlisle spoke up.

"Because Aro said she might be able to help me find my sister."

"How do you know she can do this?"

"I don't! I don't know! I know nothing! I tried everything; nothing's worked, so I'm willing to give anything a shot! But I try to nicely ask for your help, but instead you threaten to rip my friend's head off, probably burn him after that, attack us with mutts, AND YOU HAD NO IDEA WHY WE WERE COMING TO FIND YOU! I mean, come on! If we wanted to kill would we really be so stupid as to walk right into an open field where you were standing? " she was screaming and everyone could see the fire in her eyes and hear the immense anger in her voice. All this while Seth was swinging dangerously, but did not fall.

"Maybe you're trying to take us by surprise…" Mom began.

"Really?" she laughed. "That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. If we wanted to attack you, you wouldn't stand a chance. I'd distract you until Alec immobilized you, and then I'd rip you apart and burn you to ashes. Now where in that beautiful plan does the two of us walking into a field come into effect? Oh, wait! It doesn't!"

"Calm down child, it'll be okay," Esme came out from behind Carlisle and spoke to the young girl, who flashed her eyes in Esme's direction. Esme looked tenderly at her. Thanks to Jasper, we all calmed down, well, a little anyway.

"Emmett," Esme said, "let Alec go. Young man," she spoke sternly to Alec, "if you attempt to use your powers I will have my sons punish you."

"Yes ma'am," Alec nodded and walked over to the girl, but constantly glancing over his shoulder at Emmett, Jasper, Jake and Edward, all of whom looked very pissed. As soon as he arrived, the girl lowered Seth gently to the ground. He growled at her, showing his teeth, and went over to Jacob.

"Now, why don't you tell us a little more about why you came here," Esme said. I was slightly surprised. Esme usually never took charge like this. She was usually the one in the background. But for some reason, she decided that she would be in charge. It must be because she felt bad for the girl; Esme had a great gift of love.

Alec cleared his throat and spoke first "I came for two reasons—the first to accompany Lexi, the second to check on Renesmee. Aro just wanted to make sure everything was okay, but believe me, that is not the reason we came to Forks."

Dad stared at Alec, and my mother never moved from my side. Finally, Dad nodded.

Everyone then stared at vampire girl. She looked at us and rolled her eyes.

"My name is Alexandra. My sister and I were locked in our house while a fire that was set by our parents was going to kill us as they thought we were witches. That same night my only two friends were going to be burned at the stake as witches. We were rescued—my sister and I by Romanian vampires, while my friends were rescued by the Volturi. My sister and I were separated as a vampire couple took her as their child. I have spent most of my existence searching for her and my friends, at least, searching when I'm not fighting. A few months ago I was told where to find the Volturi. Supposedly they had the most information on the covens and vampires of the world, so I went there, hoping for a slim lead, maybe my friends were with them. I was in luck. Jane and Alec we indeed with the Volturi, and I was reunited with two of the three only people that cared about me. But Aro didn't know where my sister could be found. Demetri couldn't track her—he didn't have her scent. He sent me here with a possible idea that your physic, Alice, could see me meeting her in the future. It was the only idea, so Aro let Alec come with me to talk to you and see if that was possible. There—my life's story in a nutshell. Any question?" she said the last part sarcastically. I was still trying to process everything she said, as she spoke very fast and her words sometimes ran together. She stared at us, as if daring us to disagree with what she said.

Emmett laughed. The sound was so unexpected that everyone either flinched or jumped.

"What's so funny?" Alexandra asked.

"HAHAHA! I don't believe it," Emmett chuckled, "Jane and Alec had friends?" The wolves let out what might have been a chuckle. Alexandra rolled her eyes, and for the first time addressed Alice.

"I'm guessing you're the physic. Can you help me find my sister or not? If not, I'll stop wasting your time."

All eyes turned to Alice. "I don't know," she said, "I would really need to get to know you to see deeply into your future. I am willing to give it a try. And besides, I see Esme giving the two of you rooms in the house, so come inside and we'll talk about it."

We all stared at Alice like she was crazy. Alexandra even voiced that opinion.

"Are you off your rocker? Are you crazy? We're going to share a house with you? After you tried to kill us?"

"I'm quite certain. Esme is talking with you and Alec is playing video games with Emmett."

More staring. Alec and Emmett looked at each other with distain and then back at Alice.

"Are we really letting these two into our house?" Rosalie furiously asked.

"They need our help Rosalie," Esme said firmly. "So they are welcomed in the house."

So, naturally, all of us walked into the house.
