BELLA

The party was going great, I was as dizzy as ever and moving human speed around the back yard. I made my way over to the patio and sat down. Jacob, Renesmee, Chloe and Eddie were back from their little excursion and the girls were looking very flustered as they made their way to the back of the yard to the drinks. Nearly everyone had left. It was early morning and it was just the Cullen's, Chloe and Jacob still lingering around the house and yard. Jacob sat down next to me and let out a laugh.

"You ok there Bells?" he asked I nodded my head, instantly regretting it as it made the yard spin in my mind. "You don't look it," he said taking a sip of his beer. How could he still be drinking?

"I'm okay," I managed to say. Rosalie came over and sat down.

"I think I drank too much," she said putting her hand on her head.

"I'm right there with you sister," I answered. Rosalie groaned then stood up and went into the house.

"I'm just going to the bathroom," Jacob said and stood up.

"Kaaaay," I said. He laughed and walked into the house. My vision wasn't blurry and my hearing was still perfect but my reaction speeds were slow. As were every other vampires in the house. So anticipating the next thirty seconds wasn't possible. I watched Renesmee laugh with Chantelle and Chloe over by the food table at the back of the yard. My eyes saw it but my brain didn't register it quickly enough. Something immerged from the back of the yard out of the trees. I watched helplessly as the vampires walked over to the children. They wrapped their strong arms around Chantelle and Renesmee, yanking them into the forest. My limbs caught up with my brain and lunged forward after the girls. I was running as fast as I could to them but it just wasn't fast enough, I screamed out after them crying helplessly, Chloe was standing in shock at the place Renesmee and Chantelle had disappeared from.

"RENESMEE!" I screamed out, collapsing on the floor. I couldn't run after them. There was nothing I could do. It was only Chloe and I in the back yard, everyone else ran out at human pace.

"Bella," Edward called walking over to me.

"They took them! They took Renesmee and Chantelle!" I cried.

"Chant-" Emmett began. He ran into the forest. He was a lot faster than any of us at this point. His strength and determination to find his daughter was getting him through it.

"We need to dilute the alcohol in our systems. Everyone needs to go hunting. Then we'll track the vampires that took the girls," Carlisle ordered.

"Why does everyone keep trying to kidnap our daughter?" I sobbed to Edward. He didn't answer me; his eyes just bore into mine. He couldn't answer me because he didn't know the answer.

"What's going on?" Jacob asked coming out of the house. I looked up from my kneeling position to look at him. His face dropped as he looked at me, he scanned the yard. "Where is Nessie?" he asked. I let out a sob and Jacob looked to me again. "Where is Nessie?" he asked a little higher.

"Jacob…" Edward said.

"Where is Renes-?" he asked being cut off. His eyes widened. "I can feel her. She's- she's scared. She can't get free." He said staring into the forest. He began running shredding his clothes as he phased.

"Jake! Wait!" I shouted, but he ignored me, running after them.

"Come on; let's get some blood in us. He might need some help." Edward said getting up.

"Chloe needs to be taken home," Eddie said. I had completely forgotten about Chloe.

"What? No, I want to see Nessie!" She said protesting.

"No. You're going home!" he said to her.

"No… I'm staying here," she said sternly. Eddie finally looked at her. I looked at his eyes closely, they looked like they were burning.

"Chloe go home!" he snarled at her. She flinched and narrowed her eyes at him.

"Fine. I'll go," she said and stepped back from him.

"I'll take you," Esme said holding out her hand to her. Esme wasn't drunk like the rest of us. She was just in the wrong place as the wrong time. Maybe she could have saved my daughter. Chloe took her hand, still glaring at Eddie as she walked past him.

"Let's go," Carlisle said and Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Edward, Carlisle, Eddie and I began running into the forest. We each drained an elk each and ran in the direction Emmett and Jacob went. We caught up with them quickly. I was confused as to why they had stopped. I noticed Jacob struggling fighting one of the vampires, Emmett was on the other one. Chantelle and Renesmee were sobbing by a tree. I erupted my shield throwing it around the girls. I ran over to my daughter, Rosalie was close behind me. The rest went to assist Jacob and Emmett. I pulled Renesmee away from Chantelle and she colliding with my chest, wrapping her arms around me.

"Momma," she sobbed. I held her protectively.

"I'm so sorry baby. I should have saved you," I said to her. I could feel the last of the alcohol wearing off now. She shook her head. I cradled her as if she was a child again. It was a little hard considering she wasn't much shorter than I was but I managed it. Holding her like this reminded me of the last time she was kidnapped. I kissed her head, keeping my lips on her skin.

"Kill them. I have the information I need," I heard Edward say behind me. I turned to look at them. Carlisle, Jasper, Emmett and Eddie were restraining each of the vampires. I quickly turned my head back the other way and rested it against Renesmee's, looking into her brown eyes. I heard their screams behind me as they were ripped apart. I pulled Renesmee closer to my chest, making sure she couldn't see the scenes behind us. I looked up briefly to see Rosalie doing them same with Chantelle, she was crying heavily in her mother's arms.

Within seconds I could smell the smoke rising. Edward was the first over to us kneeling next to me. Renesmee reached out of my arms to Edward and he pulled her into a hug. Then kissing every part of her face.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he asked. She shook her head.

"I'm not hurt, I'm fine," she said as she wiped the tears from her eyes. The next person to kneel beside me was Eddie. Renesmee let go of Edward to reach over and hug him. He kissed her head and squeezed his eyes closed; his facial expression was one of relief as he wrapped his arms around her. Last was Jacob, he was still in his wolf form as he slowly trotted over to us. Renesmee looked up.

"Phase back," she ordered reaching her hand to his head. He shook his head, his eyes full of pain and longing to embrace her.

"He can't, he has no clothes with him, he'll phase when we get back to the house. We need to leave now. They'll come back when they realise the abductors are dead." Edward said, firstly to Renesmee then addressing everyone around us. Everyone walked over to us.

"Who is 'they' dad?" Eddie asked. Edward looked down at his son with pained eyes.

"The Volturi," he said. Renesmee flinched in Eddie's arms and everyone gasped.

"Let's get home and we can discuss our next move," Carlisle said. Edward nodded in agreement. Renesmee moved out of Eddie's arms and over to Jacob. She moved her hands through his fur and put her arms around his neck, hugging him the best she could. He whimpered.

"Renesmee climb onto Jacob's back as we run back," Edward said taking my hand, she nodded and pulled herself up onto him and we all ran back towards our house. Edward let my hand go and ran into the house; he came back out with a pair of shorts from the closet that Alice had designated for the wolves. Jacob took it in his mouth and after Renesmee had climbed off him he ran into the forest. We all made our way into the large living room. Chantelle was still clinging onto Rosalie and Renesmee kept her hand tight around mine and Eddie's. Jacob came in moments later and Renesmee let us go. Running full speed into his chest, Jacob wrapped his arms around her tilting his head into her shoulder and neck.

"Jake..." Renesmee sobbed.

"You're okay. You're okay," Jacob repeated and pulled away from her, he placed his hands on her face securely. They stared at each other for a few seconds.

"Don't be stupid Jacob. Just do it," Edward said from my side. Jacob reacted immediately and pulled Renesmee's face to his, kissing her passionately. I looked away and to Edward.

"He asked if he could kiss her. I wasn't going to enforce the rules at a time like this," he whispered to me.

"Oh," I replied in a whisper. I looked back up to see Renesmee and Jacob hugging again. They pulled away and walked hand in hand further into the living room.

"Okay so it seems we have a situation. The Volturi are obviously after us again," Carlisle said to the group after he had checked over both girls for any injuries, luckily there was none. Edward nodded and stood up to face everyone.

"The men that tried to take the girls were new additions to the Volturi guard. They were sent by Caius to kidnap the girls. From what I got, Aro didn't know anything about it. Aro wanted to come and see us as a friendly visit. The kidnaps were not planned. Aro and most of the guard are somewhere hidden in the forest. They will be coming to see us." Edward said. He wore the mask well; he didn't look like he was in anyway worried or in pain. I knew my husband though, inside he was as worried as ever and that worry was reflected in me.
