Song for the ending of this chapter : Paul McDonald & Nikki Reed - All I've ever needed.
Renesmee POV
When I ran downstairs to the kitchen I saw Jacob holding Sarah and my dad had that all too familiar expression on his face. Something is wrong.
"What's going on?" I asked and walked up to Jacob.
"I-I…" Jacob stuttered and looked at us both. "I don't know." He said and shook his head. I looked back at my father.
"She gave him a power." He said quietly. My family came into the room.
"What?" I asked and looked at Jacob. "Which one?"
"Yours." He said.
"How?" I asked.
"I don't know." Jacob mumbled and looked at Sarah.
"Come here sweetie." I said and held my hands out and Jacob handed her over. "Could you explain what you did?" I asked softly.
"I gave daddy a talent." She smiled.
"How?"
"Like this." She said and put her hand on my chest. A light cold sensation went through my body and all of the sudden I could hear a million things.
What is going on?
This might be our way out.
I can't place that over there. It will look too cluttered.
I wonder if I could break down that tree.
Something is wrong.
I love my hair.
The water is so cold. But so fun!
I made her cold.
God, Jake is going to kill me when A.J gets dirty.
We need to get some more blood for Sarah.
I wonder what is going to happen to my family.
"Take it back please." I whispered with my eyes shut and it all disappeared. I gasped and settled down as Jacob took back Sarah.
"Did I do wrong?" Sarah asked.
"No." Jacob said calmly.
"Is that how you..?" I whispered to dad.
"Yes." He said and took my hand. "Are you alright?"
I nodded and gathered myself. "I have to…sit down." I mumbled and my dad helped me.
"What is going on?" Jacob asked.
"She can give out powers." My dad mumbled. "Maybe..." he hesitated and walked up to Sarah. I could tell they were having one of their little special conversations. My dad gasped and took a step back.
"She took it." He said.
"What?" Jacob and I asked.
"My talent." He said calmly and looked around almost like he had to check if there were any people here.
"Give it back." I said to Sarah and she held her hand out to my dad.
"Thank you." He said and smiled. "We have our way out."
"What? Can you please explain?" I said.
"She can take and give powers. This gives us a huge leverage. I have to tell the others." He said and ran out of the room.
Bella POV
I was walking back from the forest after a hunting trip when Edward came running across the field.
"What's the matter?" I asked and the next second he spun me around and kissed me.
"We have a way out!" he smiled and spun me around again.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"You have to see it for yourself!" he smiled and we started running to the house. He led me inside where Renesmee, Jacob and Sarah were.
"What's going on?" I asked them.
"I have no idea." Jacob mumbled.
Edward walked up to Sarah and Jacob handed her over to him. "Can you show Bella?" he asked her.
"BELLS!" she cooed and held her hand out to me. Without hesitating I walked up to her and let her place her hand on my face.
"Don't be scared now." Edward said and a cold feeling rushed through my head and down my chest but nothing more. With a confused frown I looked at Edward.
"What was that for?" I asked.
"You didn't feel anything?" he asked and looked shocked.
"Yes. A cold feeling." I admitted. And it was strange for me to feel cold since nothing else really did.
"Wait." Edward said and handed Sarah to Jacob. "Come here." He said and pointed for us to walk out. Jacob and Renesmee followed.
"Edward tell me what is going on?" I asked and he stopped.
"Here." He said and held his hand out to me. "Cover her eyes." He told Jacob.
"Edward..."
"Take my hand." He interrupted me.
"Fine." I said and for some reason I slowly reached over and carefully let my fingertips touch his. The next second he was thrown back and rolled on the ground with a light sound of agony coming out.
"DAD!" I heard Renesmee shout and we both ran up to him. I made sure not to touch anyone.
"I'm fine." Edward panted with a smile.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?" I asked franticly.
"She gave you Nate's talent." He smiled and got back up.
"W-what?"
"We might have hope after all." Edward smiled and held his hand out to me. I took a step back and he put his hand behind his back. "Right. I forgot." He chuckled.
"I don't want this." I said and looked at my hands.
"Then ask for Sarah to take it back." Edward said like it was no big deal.
"I might hurt her." I whispered.
"No. She has your shield." He said and gestured for Jacob and Sarah to come to us. "Could you take that talent back?" he asked Sarah.
"Mhmmm!" Sarah said with a smile and touched my shoulder. The cold feeling came back but left my body rather quickly. Renesmee grabbed my arm and I pulled it back to not hurt her.
"You don't have it." She said in amazement.
So this little child in Jacob's arms, my grandchild, possessed the power to defeat the Volturi? I can't believe it. How is this possible? Her talent was the most amazing one I had ever known of and it would get even better when the other vampires came here. But still...
"We have to tell the others." I said and Edward and I ran away.
Sarah POV
I was cuddled up in daddy's arms when grandpa and grandma ran away. Even though they had explained to me a couple of times that they are very fast it still scared me.
"Where are they going?" I asked mommy who looked a bit shocked. Her mouth was in the shape of an O.
"They are going to talk to the family." She said.
"About how special you are." My daddy continued.
"Yes. About how special you are." Mommy said and kissed me. I wonder why she imitated dad.
"We should get Seth and Anthony."
"Yeah. You get them. I'll take her." Mommy said and dad handed me over to her.
"Daddy don't go!" I begged.
"I will be back soon princess." He smiled and kissed my forehead before he ran away.
"Should we go inside and take a bath? You are a mess! I shouldn't let you play alone with Seth." My mom said and took my dirt covered hand in hers.
"I play with Seth!" I pouted to mom as she carried me inside. He was my best friend. If someone hurt him they would have to deal with me!
"Sit still now." Mom asked me and put me down on the toilet and started to take off my socks and pants.
"Why are we here?" I asked mom as I held my arms up so she could slide of my shirt.
"Well. It's hard to explain sweetheart." She said and got the water running.
"Show!" I suggested and she placed her hand on my cheek. In a couple of seconds I understood why. Bad men were coming to hurt us.
"But it's going to be fine. I will take care of you." She whispered and kissed my head.
"I help?" I asked and smacked my now bare belly.
Mommy chuckled and put me in the bath. "You have to stay away when they come. But yes, you can help."
"I will save you!" I shouted and hugged her. Mommy is my world.
Seth POV
Anthony and I had been out by the little river and played for quite a while now but I just couldn't bring myself to take him in when he was so happy.
"HERE!" A.J shouted and handed me a big rock.
"Thank you little guy." I said and took it.
"I'm not little!" he insisted and splashed water at me.
"Sorry!" I chuckled and held my arms out. "Sorry big guy!"
"GRR!" he growled and showed his teeth.
"You truly are your father's son." I laughed and picked him up. "Now let's get inside before you get a cold." I didn't even know if he could get sick but I didn't want to risk it.
"SETH!" I heard Jacob shout as he came running towards us. I couldn't tell if it was shock or happiness that covered his voice so a light growl rose up in my throat. "GREAT NEWS!" he smiled when he came up to us and I handed him A.J.
"What is going on?" I asked. He placed his hand on my cheek and all of the sudden the last couple of minutes he had spent with Sarah rushed through my head. I pulled back in shock and stumbled over a rock and into the river.
I heard Jacob and A.J laugh as I got up. "ISN'T IT AMAZING?" he chuckled and threw Anthony up in the air.
"Holy shi..." I stopped when I saw Jacob covering A.J's ears. "Sorry." I mumbled and he helped me up.
"It's pretty amazing huh?" he asked as we walked back to the house.
"I'm still letting it sink in." I admitted and he let me do exactly that until we came to the house. Everyone including the pack was sitting in the living room.
"Have you heard about this?" Leah asked me.
"Yeah, I was just told… or shown." I mumbled and looked at Jacob.
"This gives us the upper hand in battle." Sam's deep voice said.
"It won't even be a problem." Paul smirked and leaned back in the chair.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves." Edward said. "We still have to…" he made sure Jacob was covering A.J's ears. "...destroy them."
"He is right." Carlisle said. "Let's not declare victory yet."
"Come on. This will be easy!" Jacob smiled.
"We still don't know how long it will take for her to be able to use other people's powers." Edward explained.
God, how can they catch on to all of this so fast? I'm still thinking of what Jacob showed me.
"And we still don't know why or when they are coming." Alice continued.
"That's true." Edward said. "All the warning we might get is if I hear their thoughts approaching. But even then they will be here in a couple of seconds after that."
"Where will the kids be when they come?" Renesmee came downstairs with Sarah in her arms. She smiled and reached for me but Renesmee held her tight.
"In the basement with you." Bella said.
"Maybe Seth should be with us." Renesmee said. I was more than happy too but I still wanted to help and defend Sarah.
"Seth should at least stay nearby." Bella replied.
"I'm more than happy too." I smiled and walked over to Sarah. "Hey pretty girl" I whispered and gave her an Eskimo kiss.
"We have to power up and hunt." Rosalie said.
"Rosalie is right." Carlisle said. "Tonight can the pack be spread out around the area as we do? We won't go far."
Jacob nodded and looked at Sam. "We will be ready." Sam said.
"Thank you." Edward said and shook Sam's hand. "Alice, you have to try and see Aro's decision."
"I have been trying." She said and sounded a bit overwhelmed but her face went blank as she stood up.
"Yes!" Edward whispered as he observed her vision. God what have I gotten myself into, I thought for a second.
"They saw you in the woods!" Alice said and pointed at Jacob and Renesmee. "Nate got mad. You talked about how you loved each other and you would always protect one another." She said with triumph.
"We did this?" Jacob mumbled and looked at Nessie.
"They would have come sooner or later." Bella assured them and placed her hand on Jacob's shoulder. "It's not your fault."
"And we can stop them now." Emmett smirked.
"Emmett." Rosalie hissed and he held his hands up.
"When will they be here?" I asked and everyone looked at me like they hadn't even noticed I was in here before.
"In a couple of days. I have been getting a weird vision of the big tree in the backyard falling but nothing more..." she said. "…and they come right after the tree has fallen. I saw that now. My vision went beyond it just falling."
"We have to get ready." Edward said and everyone nodded. "Staring with updating the pack on defending themselves." He looked at Jasper.
"I got it." He made a gesture to the door. "I will give you some time to get ready alone."
We all nodded and walked outside. "Let's do this!" I said and we all started to get our clothes off. It was a weird situation to be in. All of us naked. But we were used to it now. Maybe that's even weirder. I phased with everyone else and Sam growled when we were all ready. Jasper came outside and stood in front of us.
"Do you all remember the training for new borns?" he asked and we all nodded. "Good. Now this will be a million times harder. The Volturi are old but strong. Very strong." He said and started walking back and forth. "The most important thing is as always to stay away from Jane and Alec. But now you have to think of something else. No tactics or moves…but their strength, their speed. They aren't as frantic as new borns. They will simply just try to kill you."
Emmett came running outside to join us. "Here to help." he smirked and nudged his brother.
"Great." Jasper smiled. "Now might you show me what you would do to attack me? Surprise me." Jasper ran to his position.
"My pleasure." Emmett smirked and ran towards him. He went straight for the middle of Jaspers body and of course Jasper easily slinked out of his grip with one light jump and threw Emmett down on his back and wrapped his hand around Emmett's neck.
"What did I tell you last time?" he chuckled to Emmett and looked at us.
"Never lose focus." Emmett quoted him and grabbed his arm and threw him down on the ground.
"Touché." Jasper said and Emmett let go of him and started jumping up and down like he was getting ready for the next round.
Well this is going to be a long day.
Renesmee POV
When the night came we had all started to make plans and my family was going out to hunt. Which means Jacob and I had some time alone.
"They finally fell asleep." Jacob sighed and walked inside the room.
"Come here." I said and held my arms out to him. He happily crawled up in bed with me and kissed me right away. "I've missed you." I whispered and cupped his face in my hands for the next kiss. I knew we didn't have much time and to even take one second for ourselves made me feel bad so I got straight to the point and unzipped his pants.
"I have a surprise for you." He moaned into my neck.
"I can feel that." I chuckled and felt him through his boxers.
"No not that." He laughed and pulled away. "Sit up." He smiled and we both sat up in the bed.
"So what's the surprise?" I asked and he looked deep into my eyes. He slowly put his hand on my cheek and my mind filled up with images. Just like the ones I could show. But it felt so different to be on the other end of it. I felt an overwhelming feeling of love rush over me and I saw myself, in Rosalie's arms. I was wrapped up in a white blanket and the light from behind me kind of blinded me. All of the sudden I felt weak and my knees crumbled from under me. A sweet relief, like some other bond had been broken and now everything in the world was pulling me towards this person in Rosalie's arms. Me.
The next was filled with a dussin other ones. Me and him playing, hunting, talking, when The Volturi left and he knew we were safe, my first birthday, all the nights I convinced him to sing me to sleep, the incident when he told my mother about the imprinting, how he knew he couldn't stay away from me, how all that romantic love disappeared from my mom and the little pieces of his life fell in place.
The moment when he saw me in that dress in the store, my parents explaining I was in love with him, a warm feeling once again filled my heart up, me walking along the water on the beach, how fast his heart beat when he was about to tell me everything he felt, how his heart literally skipped a beat when I uttered those words he had longed for "I love you", the night he brought me home and how much he wanted me, how much it took for him to not have me in that moment but also how much he wanted to honor me.
The moment my dad kind of had "the talk" with him, how much he wanted kids, how happy he was when I projected how much I myself wanted kids, how nervous he was when he went down on one knee but at the same time wasn't because he knew I was the one, how carried away he got when he agreed to make love and how baffled he was when I stopped him. And then a new moment that I had always wondered about. When he picked out the wedding ring. He showed all the different selections and the ones Rosalie tried to convince him to buy and the feeling when he found the ring, he knew I would love it as much as he did, it was unique yet simple, like us. How silly he felt when he once again asked me to marry him but the joy when I said yes and loved the ring, like he knew I would.
The moment when we first made love. It sent that warm wave through my body and feeling his pleasure made me overwhelmed and I felt my breathing become heavier. I had surprised him that day, but the pleasure he felt took over all the doubts and thought of waiting. He had laid awake that night and admired me, he had really worshipped me.
The pain he felt when I was sick and threw up, when we couldn't have a baby. It really hurt me to the core, it took my breath away. It was so confusing because I experienced it through his eyes and I made it all better. I took away the pain. His love for me healed all wounds.
The morning he woke up for the wedding. He couldn't wait. I saw him standing in front of the mirror putting on his tux. The conversation he had with Billy that morning about how lucky he was and how much he loved me. His father kind of gave me his blessing and said that Sarah would have loved to see us together on such a wonderful day. Then when he arrived to the house and my dad greeted him with open arms. The little sneaky conversation he had with my mother about how everything had turned out and she had to go and give something to me, the moment when he saw me walking down the aisle, all the fears he had ever had let go and he felt secure, he had everything he wanted, my sweet voice when I said "I do.", I looked so beautiful through his eyes, the dancing, he loved having me in his arms, holding me in front of everyone and showing me off, the speeches, how much my words warmed his heart, when he saw me in his mother's wedding dress, he saw his mother in me and felt like she was right there by his side.
The trip to Brazil, how much he had waited for the honeymoon and had yearned for my body, his pleasure once again made me breath heavier, our walk along the beach to the boat, watching me run up the beach to our house, carrying me inside, the hours we spent making love on the island, playing in the water and falling asleep on the beach, waking up in the moonlight and the wonderful shower we had together, when we jumped from the cliffs, our trip to the town, the old lady who had a thing for him, when we went to the play and the amazing sex we had there, when we ran from the guards, when we played in the water and fell asleep on the beach, the morning we woke up with Buddy and brought him home.
When he met Rachel and Paul's babies, how much he wanted one of his own but I was worth the sacrifice.
The graduation party, when we packed and looked through his white box full of memories of his mother, when we arrived at Dartmouth, the first class, he had been sitting and looking at me the whole time, the party when he had a little bit too much and all that he could think of was how much he loved me, our fights over Lizz, they now seemed so small since he showed me they didn't mean anything because he loved me so much.
When we went to the Volturi. Fear is not a big enough words to explain what he felt, losing me meant losing himself, when we arrived home and had the party, when Lizz kissed him and he felt disgusted, his fear of losing me again, making me mad so I could take my anger out on him.
Finding out about the kids. I flinched when the overwhelming feeling filled my heart, his love literally hurt. How afraid he was of losing me, how disappointed he was in himself for agreeing to it, how much he hated himself for being happy about the babies at the same time, how much it hurt him to see me hurt, the first time he saw A.J and Sarah, everything became clear, the second I was gone panic filled him up, he was torn between being with them or me, but knew I would be mad if he wasn't with them, the first time he saw me see them, the relief when I woke up, A.J and Sarah's first words.
And last but not least the anger he felt for Nate when he kissed me and nothing could stop him, he would protect us to the death because he loved us. He finished it all with the second he started showing me, he was so excited to be able to show me how much he loved me.
"There. Now YOU know." He whispered and I placed my hand on his. I buried my face in his hand and kissed it.
"I love you." I whispered and he pulled me in for a kiss. And we spent the night just as I had intended us to do.
