AN: MESSAGE DOWN THE BOTTEM!
Courage is worthy of respect when displayed in the maintenance of legitimate claims and in the repelling of aggressions, bodily or other. Courage is worthy of yet higher respect when danger is faced in defence of claims common to self and others, as in resistance to invasion. Courage is worthy of the highest respect when risk to life or limb is dared in defence of others.
HERBERT SPENCER, The Study of Sociology
I turn the music up,
Got my records on I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, Maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song
And all the kids they dance
All the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight
I turn the music up,
I got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma, than a full stop
Maybe I'm in the black
Maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart
As we saw, oh this light
I swear you emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright
As we soar walls
Every siren is a symphony
And every tears a waterfall
Is a waterfall
Oh Is a waterfall
Ooh-oh-oh
Is a waterfall
Every teardrop
Is a waterfall
Ooh-oh-oh
So you can hurt,
hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag
It was a wa-wa-wa-wa-waterfall
A wa-wa-wa-wa-waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every teardrop is a waterfall
~Every teardrop is a waterfall~

I had never been in a house so silent.
Yes, there was that time for school that we went to the old persons home but this was not like that. At least in the background there was the sound of I love Lucy running in the background, and the sound of shuffling canes against the hard wooden floors echoing throughout the silent home.
But this was awful.
In my arms, she was sleeping, her face contorting with what only I can assume was a nightmare. Or a dream. I watched as she squirmed, her small fist wrapping itself around my finger and I gasped in surprise.
What.
The.
Fuck?
My eyes widened in shock as images of Bella flew through my mind - the sound of my voice bellowing through her mind while it was intertwined with Bella's and Edwards, whom were softly combined in a mixture that was melodious.
And I repeat, what the fuck?
I watched as Bella's bloodied body tore apart, but it was not what I had seen in the delivery room - no, it was from the inside of her and then, bright, with lights behind his head, Edward appeared, blood surrounding his lips and a smile lit his perfectly sculpted face. And then his lips moved as he picked her from Bella, smiling softly as he looked down at her.
"Renesmee,"
And then Jacob shot up.
Renesmee awoke with the noise, and I looked to Jake - raising my eyebrows. "What's wrong?"
He shook his head, heading over to me and he looked in disgust at Renesmee, and I stepped back automatically. He seemed hurt at first, but I couldn't trust Jake - I knew what he would do if he had the chance.
"Jacob?" I asked, cocking my brow. "What's happening?"
He looked to me, his dark eyes boring into my. "They're here."
Well, tell them to go away.
"I'm not going to let them hurt us," Edward said as he descended from the stairs, his eyes snapping to the bundle in my arms and he turned to the porch. "I won't let them hurt my family. Jacob!"
I froze, my arms tightening automatically around the baby that I held close as I watched Jake walk toward the front door, heading to the porch. "Jacob!"
He walked over to me, pressing his lips against my forehead, his hand going to my hair as he pulled me closer. "Stay here, please."
I closed my eyes, basking in his warm kiss as my fingers went up to stroke his face, but he pulled away. He walked away from me, and I looked to the ground, shaking my head before I turned - my eyes wide. "Jake," I exclaimed, and he turned around - cocking a brow. "Be safe."
I turned back, looking down at the wide eyes of Renesmee and I smiled weakly as she clutched my finger again, a gasp escaping me again as images flashed through my mind. I heard a crash outside, and my eyes widened and Rose shot up, her dark eyes downcast as she was beside me in a second, her eyes looking down at a squirming Renesmee, her lips going to Renesmee's forehead. "Go. Go up stairs, now."
"Wait," I exclaimed, turning to see her at the door. "What are you doing!"
"I need to help them. Now go!"
I caught glimpse of the action - wolves on top the Cullen's, their teeth bared and growls echoing from they're mouths. Alice was pinned down by one, her shrill yelps echoing through the house before Leah ripped the wolf from her, rolling down the hill as they snapped at each other. Emmett was fighting off two wolfs from the branch of a tree, and Rosalie came to his aid - grabbing the brown wolf by his skin and throwing him from the trunk of the tree.
Edward, distraught with grief and anger, was battling with Jasper against five wolves, his blood stained shirt becoming ripped and shredded in the process, while Esme was smashed against a tree - a grey wolf snapping at her before Seth came to her aid.
My eyes widened as I saw Jake, his russet fur being ripped out by a smaller yet still huge black wolf ripping the flesh from his back, tearing his teeth into Jakes skin.
Yelping, Jake squirmed as the black wolf tore into his flesh and I looked up at the stairs, my feet moving before I could stop them. I had to help Jake, I needed to help Jake - I wouldn't let them hurt him because of Bella and Renesmee.
I was at the front door in seconds, and I watched in repulsion as I heard flesh being torn - the sound of paws hitting skin, and yelps intertwined with the hollow some growls that came from the Quileute wolves.
It was like nails on a chalkboard to me, and I felt my eyes burr with unwanted tears - clutching the baby closer to my chest as I watched Jacob being torn apart by the black wolf. I was Jacobs imprint - they couldn't hurt me.
They can't hurt me.
Tightening my hold on Renesmee, I stepped onto the porch - fear overcoming me and disallowing me from going any further. I tried to open my mouth, tried to make a semi-dramatic scene but nothing came out.
Even in my silence, they didn't notice I was there - they were so content on destroying each other, they didn't even realise that I was standing there, in my arms the thing that they were fighting over.
Speak up, wimp.
And then I heard it.
The ear splitting howl that came from Jacobs mouth cut through me like someone was stabbing me with thousands of daggers, ripping me apart cell from cell - membrane from membrane. I felt my knees buckle as I saw his arm, broken and in an unnatural position, in the mouth of the large black wolf had caused, and I felt fury consume me. "STOP! PLEASE, STOP!" I shouted, my arms tightening around Renesmee - who stirred in my arms. I felt the tears spill from my eyes, and I felt a sob leave me. The black wolf that had attacked Jake leapt up, baring his teeth as he growled - stepping forward and I felt fear overwhelm me as it came closer to me. "YOU CAN'T HURT ME! IF YOU KILL HER, YOU KILL ME!"
"Anna is Jacobs imprint. You can't harm her - it's your most absolute law." Edward bellowed, and I watched as the black wolf backed away with his pack, disappearing into the forest. Edward turned back to me, his dark eyes filled with sorrow as he nodded his thanks - walking past me and up the stairs.
I passed Renesmee into Rose's arms, reaching Jake whom had phased - my hands going to his bare, scorching chest and I felt more tears fall as I looked at his arm, in which was twisted unnaturally and he arched in agony. I looked up to the porch, reassuringly putting my hand on Jakes hard, locked jaw.
"CARLISLE!" I yelled, my hands shaking and Carlisle was by my side in a second - his cold hands going to Jacobs arm.
"It looks like a fracture. ALICE! Help me get him inside."
I bit my lip, exhaling a rattled breath. "Good morning, Sleeping beauty."
Jakes eyes squinted against the light that flooded into the room, and I looked down to the floor - wiping my tired eyes. "How long was I asleep?"
"Not as long as Bella," I murmured, and he looked down to his bandaged arm, that was against his bare chest. "About, urgh, 10 hours I guess."
He raised his eyebrows. "Pretty good sleep then."
I nodded. "Yeah."
Is that all you say?
Your boyfriend nearly died, and that's all you say?
Your pathetic!
"So, urgh, these are nice sheets." He said, and I bit my lip - trying to control my laughter. "Want to get in them?"
"Your such a loser."
He scoffed. "A good looking loser."
I nodded, agreeing. "A very good looking loser."
Before he could retort, I gently crushed my lips against his - cradling his face with my finger tips and I felt a few tears release on their own accord. To have my lips against his was unlike anything, I had no idea how I could have a live a semi-interesting life before I could kiss Jacob Black. How could I live without these splendid kisses? The very kisses that the corny romance novels boast about, the very kisses that are shared between passionate lovers, and more so; passionate enemys. He wiped my dreaded tears away, and I shook my head. "I'm so sorry I was such a bitch."
"What time are you talking about?" He said cockily, and I rolled my eyes.
"Aren't you meant to be injured and sickly?"
He shook his head. "Probably. Sam fucked up my arm - what did Doc say about it?"
"A fracture, and you dislocated you shoulder." I said, and he sighed.
"That's the twelfth time."
I raised my eyebrows. "Twelfth? That's not natural Jake."
"And neither is being a teenage werewolf."
I thought he was going to say Teenage mutant turtle - I would actually believe that.
Jake a teenage mutant turtle?
Really?
Actually, now that you mention it - his shell was a big give away, I thought sarcastically.
"Oh, be quiet. At least you don't have to go through raging hormones, have budding breasts, a vagina that when going through 'menstruation' it's like Niagara fucking falls down there and then when you lose your virginity to a tampon, well, that's just a bad day for everyone."
Niagara falls?
I thought we talked about this?
And your seriously bringing the tampon into this?
I thought we said we would never discuss that incident ever again.
Yeah, well, things change.
Hey, talking about tampons - I wonder what Bella does when it's her 'time of the month', if you get what I'm saying.
What does she do with the vampire that wants to drink her blood.
Any of her blood.
'Death by Vampire smelling period blood' - I can see it now.
"Great, your alive. I was kind of hoping you would die, but I guess we can't always get what we want when it comes to pets."
I rolled my eyes, turning around as I saw Rose - her blonde tresses tied back and baby vomit staining her top, in which I can only assume was some kind of designer and cost over a two-hundred dollars.
She was probably going to throw it out after she wore it anyways.
"Hey, Rose. What's up?"
The ceiling?
Bella giving birth to a mutant half-vampire baby that turned out to be a girl and not a boy, as everyone except we believed, and turned out to be the shock of the night before a pack of wolves attacked us.
That's what's up.
Bitch.
"Can you take Renesmee for a while?" She asked, looking down at her top. "I have to go get cleaned up."
I nodded. "Is Edward still..."
She nodded. "Hasn't moved."
I turned back to Jake, biting my lip. "So the bloodsuckers still alive, then?"
I sighed. "Jake, please, just don't."
"I'm not doing anything." He innocently said, and I made my way to the door. "Stupid little leech."
I rolled my eyes in annoyance. "Annoying wolf ass,"
Annoying wolf ass? Original.
I smiled in jubilance as I saw Renesmee reaching out from me, and I smiled - taking from Emmett, whom had his protective Arnold Schwarzenegger like arms around her tiny body, in which had transformed in the past ten hours to instead of looking like a newborn, which she didn't even then, she looked to be a couple of weeks old - or over a month.
Her intelligence and personality was astounding, and that being in a mixture with her inevitable growth - she was being tested by Carlisle nearly every hour, who like the rest of us, was completely absorbed in this tiny creature.
She was the most beautiful and exquisite creature, baby, child I had ever met - she had our eyes, and Uncle Charlies ringlets that were sprouting from her head in the most tantalising colour of bronze, just like her father. Her features, like the Cullen's, were perfectly proportioned, curved, and beautiful yet still had traces of the imperfections that was humanity, and her maternal genes seemed to shine through the perfection that was her paternal genes.
I took her in my arms, smiling as she reached her small fist to my finger, grasping it and like before, images of bright colours circled my mind - the image of Rose giving her a bath, Esme letting her play with a necklace which although entranced the small baby, she had crushed it in seconds in her small fist.
Strength, she seemed to have inherited a lot of that.
Not from the Swan side, of course, we can't even walk on a flat surface.
And then my face flooded her mind, drowning her thoughts. I was so loved by Renesmee - I could feel it, the love that flowed through this tiny creature was overpowering, enough to make any one coil at the pure strength of the emotion. I smiled despite the situation, giggling as I felt the feel of Rose's cool fingers in my hair, like Renesmee had just minutes earlier while disgusting tasting food, which I could only assume to be baby food, was thrust into her mouth - the metallic taste of the metal spoon even better than the food.
And then I saw how Rose got the vomit all over her.
It was almost like she wanted more of what I had fed her this morning, she was yearning for blood and she was asking me for more.
I shook my head. "No, Renesmee. You've had enough. And that was bad, doing that to Rose's top."
"She's just a baby," Esme said, adoringly as she cradled the small head in her hands and she kissed her forehead s she offered me the sippy cup that was filled with the dark scarlet liquid that I had just reprimanded her for asking for. "And she's hungry, barely holding down her food."
I shook my head. "You spoil her, Esme."
Esme looked up to me, beaming. "I am but her Grandmother. It's my duty, and job." She looked down at the baby, biting her lip before she looked back up to me - her newly topaz eyes boring into mine as I saw her pleading look. "Can I?"
I smiled, nodding as I passed Renesmee into her stone like arms. "You are her Grandmother, after all. I'll go get her toys."
Going into the living room, I grabbed the small box filled with toys that she liked and looked to the large box filled with toys she had either destroyed within seconds, or that she would not even look at when we tried to calm her cries.
The box contained two silver spoons that were encrusted with a 'C', a small teddy that Esme had found in the basement that only had one eye, a small bracelet that had a small, crystal love heart and wolf attached to it, and a bell.
I smiled as I grabbed the small teddy, going back to see Esme holding the bottle to Renesmee's lips - laughing as Renesmee grasped at the bottle, sucking greedily. Esme didn't look up when I entered the room, but Renesmee did as I gave her the teddy, which she clutched at.
"How's Bella?" I murmured, and I heard someone make a sound.
Turning, I saw Alice and I raised my eyebrows. "See for yourself."
Following Alice into the room that only hours previous Bella had been delivering the tiny baby that now rested in Esme's arms. It was dim, the curtains drawn and dressed in a dress of fair blue, my cousin lay on a bed - silent, still...dead.
Yet she had changed.
Her hair was once again lustrous and full, her body fuller and healthier - her skin a shade only corpses beheld yet flawless, scars no longer penetrating the skin of her. She no longer had freckles dusting her nose, her lashes were darkened and longer while her lips were reddened and no longer cracked.
"The transformation has begun."
It was happening.
I could see it.
Here's another chapters for you.
So sorry for the wait, had another week with the best friend. Okay, I need to thank some people - the people who have gotten me to over 400 reviews! And thank you to everyone who has reviewed my other story, The Alchemists Legacy, it will become great MWHAHHAHAHAH!
Okay, Bingo - In this story, Jake doesn't imrpint on Renesmee as I believed that isn't as interesting as my OC! But it would be some kind of Soap Opera moment.
Trich - Thank you, I try to work hard on my chapters And your reviews are perfectly fine :)
Cetacea-of-Time - GO GET ME AN OREO! No, you don't have to - I just made chocolate muffins! And being my creative self, I made the icing look like a Rose. I am pretty damn proud.
shelbron - I'm glad you liked Chapter 1 and by the by, her thought process if quite funny if I say so myself.
leninjaunicorn - My science teacher was a ass/bitch/annoying gossip as well! But I don't have science anymore, so I'm thrilled! And lets all be honest, we've all questioned our sanity. Thats why I love writing such imperfect characters, as although they are brilliantly flawed whether that be they're mentality, they're traits, physicl appearance, or past - its what makes them believable and relatable. And, I'm not completely sure on the imprinting situation at the moment. People are saying - 'Get Seth to imprint on her' but that was never, ever apart of my plan but it's seeping its way in, and making itself comfortable in my plan. So, I'm not going to say anything on the whole imprinting situation. Even though I just did. Okay, ignore what I just said. Well, wrote.
SamMorgan13 - Thank you for being a regular reviewer - your really brilliant. And thankyou for checking out my story.
Crystal-Wolf-Guardain-967 - Your reviews are alway nice to read. Don't stop them :D
samasbananas - I hate twilight with a passion as well, don't you worry. Don't ask why I'm writing a twilight fanficiton - it's what boredom does to me. And yes, how did you know I was in an insane asylum. Are you my ... stalker! I KNEW IT WASN'T MY IMAGINATION! Are you the talking cat, or the clown thats under my bed? ;) And the character is slightly based on me, but in other ways we are nothing alike. She has my sense of humor, and insecurities - and I mostly did that so she could seem relatable, and well, weird. Because with a weird character, you've got a good story. And I'm so, so happy that you stayed up to 1:30 am because it actually means my stories good! I love it when you think your going to hate a story, but you just want to check it out, and then it turns out to be the best story, and most addictive thing you've read and when it's over - your annoyed that you idn't find it sooner. I'm rambling, sorry. Oh, and one last thing - how, in the name of all that is sacred and holy and in the name of sugar filled sweets, is Harry Potter confusing? ;)
lanceygirl - I'm glad you liked the ending, 'BLOOD FOR ALL'! Thank you so much for reviewing :D
smashingxURxface - Killing Bella would be the highlight fo my day, but alas, it seems I cannot do it for it will mess with my plan and because the way I want to kill Bella is I'm sure R+ rated. And, I'm sorry the chapters aren't longer - I'm too lazy. And, I had a Twilight marathon the other day but I ended up stoppin half way through twilight because I was sick of waiting for Kristen Stewart to get out a scentence and Edward looking severly constipated throughout the whole movie. Let's face it, though, Kristen Stewart would've one an oscar if she was in the Kings speech. You just know it. :P And I did get some of that from the book, well alot, just as a guide to know where I'm going and stay true to the story but I added alot of new details because Stephanie Meyer doesn't do well with emotional shit.
cakeface -I'm sorry for the cliffhangers - it's not cause I want to leave you guys hanging, I promise, it's because I'm too lazy. Thanks for reviewing :)
XoXMaximumculleNXoX - Wow, wow XoXMaximumculleNXoX they will get it on in due time. Just wait a while, and there will be fun filled innapropriateness soon.
x XRoweenaJAugustineX x - I'm so sorry for scaring you, it was just to get your attention!Don't kill me ;)
MindEqualBlown - OH, MY GOD - GET TO THE HOSPITAL! YOUR LUNGS BE FAILING, OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOAT, GET TO THE HOSPITAL NOW! SOMEONE START CPR!
black-sage13 - Thank you for reviewing :)
LJMoore - Alex reads twilight is fucking hilarious! It's like me reading it now, I'm like WTF are you serious Stephanie Meyer? And Thank you, the mixture of my character into the original is a brilliant compliment.
Chinmayi - Old friend, we seem to meet each other again through the wonderful world of Fanfiction reviewing. I do hope you did great on you exams, and yes, thinking of Edward jumping into a fire makes me go all warm and fuzzy, but I couldn't let it happen. And, I'm sorry but a sequel is probably not happening. DON'T SHOOT ME! Theres probably about a 5% chance and even then I'm being leinient. It's only because this year I'm in year 11 and I really can't be distracted. And, you will get a wedding chapter. And 2 epilogues, and an alternate ending which I'm still deciding if it will stay alternate because the more I think about it, the more I think it's the perfect way to end the story. AND OH GOD DON'T PULL THE TRIGGER ON THAT YAY! Ghandi, help that yay! And yes, it is Anna's destiny to enter reality talent show. The universe has spoken. D AND THANKYOU! Someone who agree's with me that those stupid characters should have been slightly more outraged by Sam's betrayel! And, lets be honest, Karmas a bitch and Emily got hers. You know me to well - give me a compliment, I'll write you a novel. It's in my nature. And, children will come soon in the much awaited eilogues! And, Edward hate is welcomed here. Don't be afraid of it. I'm sorry I scared you, it was just so I could get your attention, I'm so so sorry! Please don't kill me! Thats seriously not a problem, you've got school and what not, I was just friendly bribing people to do it :D And, yes, I know Anna gets the JACOB BLACK! THE SHIRTLESS WONDER! But thats not how Anna see's it, and if you'll notice the reaosn for that being of her insecurities and weight issues. Like I said, she's as flawed and insane as the rest of us and even though she has Jacob Black - you must understand that being told she was the consellation prize to a girl whom has been told that her whole life, had problems with her weight her whole life, it's diffucult for Anna. And a mental breakdown is in the works - what character that is is a mystery! Well, not for me - I know who it is! MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! And Renesmee si a god awful name - yuck! And maybe, she definetly will not be in the meadow, I promise you that. And the reason Rose just took that from Anna is because she loves Renesmee more than anything in this world, and only moments ago she nearlly killed Bella so of course she took away her personal wants and focused on what was best for the baby. As always, thank you for reviewing.
ReneeGoetz - Everything will work out in the end, I promise. And then they will skin into the sun set, hand in hand. Thank you for reviewing, as always.
LJMoore - No, I haven't told anyone why I named it Camelot and you have no idea how happy it makes me to answer someones question on that! It's called Camelot because, as we all know, Camelot was the name of King Arthurs court and castle and it was said to be a fantastical place. It is also the name that one of my favourite woman in history, Jacqueline B. Kennedy-Onassis and her husband JFK called there time in the white house, which was a time of conflict, change, revolution, happiness and an era basically of unique originality. I named the story after Camelot because of the plotline, and the changes the character would go through and her individuality always stood out to me, and Camelot was a unique place that is remembered for what I thought this story held most strongly, so it only seemed suited that this story would be called Camelot because in the characters and my mind, this story is Camelot in every way. Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis also quoted "Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot," from the musical Camelot, "There'll be great Presidents again," she added, "but there'll never be another Camelot again … it will never be that way again." One of the other reasons I named the story Camelot was because there was nothing like this story out there, and there never would be again. Sorry if thats confusing, I tried to explain it simply
shde - Thank you, heres your update!
BlondeShamrock - ahhahahaha exactly the reaction I wanted! Thank you for reviewing :)
Twilight0Forever - First off, reading such long reviews like that actualy makes my day and reading your review was like eating cheesecake!I loved it! And even though it's a great idea, and I'm thinking abou tit - I'm not completely sure because it was not apart of my plot because I don't think Renesmee and Seth are right for each other. And thank you for loving my plural! It's a good plural! And I would never get mad at something as brilliant as your review!

I am so sorry if I have missed out any one but I only went back four pages and it's 12:01 am and I am so tired. I worked 2 days over the weekend for seven hours both shifts so I'm still recovering. And just a heads up, I'm going back to school in a week and I doubt the chapters will be as regular as they once were. Maybe once a week, I'll try at my best but I need to be focusing - i am sorry!
