It seemed like months had gone by but it was only a few days. Carlisle came back with absolutely nothing. Whoever Anumesh was, I wasn't going to find anything on him in any text. This was driving me absolutely insane.
I still continued to try to see him in my dreams but my efforts were in vain. It was as if he was behind a brick wall… Much like Luca and Russell.
"Your face will stay like that if you hold it any longer." It was Rosalie. She sat down across the table from me holding a mug of tea, which she passed over to me. I laughed a little thinking of my sister.
"Rose," I began. "Do you ever regret being a vampire?" I looked up and saw her face became hard.
"I didn't have a choice becoming a vampire or not." She answered bluntly. "And I envy you." I looked away. In all honesty, I found it selfish that I was, in a way, throwing my new found 'humanity' in Rosalie's face. The fact that I-a vampire decades older than she-was human. It was something she always wanted.
"Maybe," I began. "We can find the one who did this and have her do it to you?" I offered. For all I knew, Kassandra could still be out there and I felt like I owed the woman something.
"You don't need to do that." She smirked and stood up to leave. "Now drink your tea. There's someone who wants to meet you." My brow furrowed. I met just about everyone except…
"Renesmee?" I asked making her stop to look at me.
"And Jacob." She added and she turned back, continuing to leave me in the soon-to-be empty kitchen. I wasn't sure how to react. I was excited to meet the half breed and the shape-shifter that visited my visions yet at the same time I was anxious. I was so caught up in my reverie that I barely heard the door open but I most certainly heard it shut. My head snapped in the direction of a girl. She looked no more than thirteen and moved daintily toward me until we were nearly touching.
"Renesmee," I said before her hand reached out and touched my cheek. I kept eye contact with her and her face distorted some.
"You can try all you want, but it's impossible." Aurora stepped into the room. "There's only one person who can access her mind and he isn't here." She started to walk over to Aurora. "His name is Luca." She answered for the little girl.
"Who is Luca to you?" she asked after turning back to look at me.
"My sister's mate." I answered.
"Why can only he access you?" her brow furrowed.
"You'll have to see it to believe it." I answered.
"Jacob," Aurora poked her head out of the door. "They're in here." A boy joined Aurora, Renesmee and I.
"Hello, Jake." I smiled.
"Blythe." He bowed his head in acknowledgement. Renesmee moved to him and I saw a few more people-three boys and a girl-enter and Aurora cross the room to sit across from me at the table.
"This is Seth, Embry, Quill, and Leah" Jake proceeded to introduce the members of his pack, motioning to each as he said their names.
"How do you like being squishy again?" One of the boys, Quill, joked.
"It's still a bit of a shock." I answered. It's like having something torn away from you forever. I added mentally and felt a strange sensation against my cheek. My hand snapped up to wipe whatever it was away. I looked to my wet fingers and I realized what it was. A tear.
I smiled. "I'm crying." I felt more falling. I had mixed feelings: I wasn't sure if I should be happy that this is happening or continue to wallow in my own self pity. I wanted Allegra. I wanted my sister.
I felt a cold hand on my shoulder. Aurora was still sitting next to me. She smiled weakly as if letting me know that I'm going to be okay.
