EDDIE

Supreme ruler, all powerful. My dad thought. It was the meaning of the boys name. I cringed slightly.

"I am guessing you didn't turn his mother," my dad said disgusted.

"Of course not," Aro said. The boy took his place next to Aro. He looked a lot like Aro. He had the same dark black hair and the same features.

I heard my mom's thoughts as she sent them to my father.

Oh no. Some poor woman had to die for his spawn. I saw my dad squeeze her hand.

"You see I was curious, after discovering this new species, I wanted to experience it for myself. I wanted my own child. Never the less my son had questions so I would like my son to meet your daughter." Aro said to my parents.

He's such a hypocrite! My mom screamed in her head. My dad stroked her hand. Aro had a hidden agenda to his plan; he wanted to see if the boy and Renesmee would make a good match. I nearly choked in disgust. He was playing matchmaker. My dad thought that when Aro realised how tightly Jacob was tied to her, even he wouldn't fight against it.

"Renesmee…" My dad said a little louder than he was talking.

"Edward-," my mom warned. She didn't want her to come out but it was already too late. Renesmee walked out hand in hand with Jacob and Chantelle was behind them.

"Oh!" Aro said placing his hands together, he smiled widely at Renesmee. "Hello Renesmee. You have grown to be a very beautiful woman. I remember when you were only a small girl," he said, his voice was full of adoration for my sister. I wanted to snap his neck. Renesmee walked closer to us.

"Thank you Aro," she said politely. Jacob was tight at her side. One of the vampires placed their hand in Aro's.

"Oh. That is a shame." He said. The vampire showed Aro the relationship between Renesmee and Jacob. He told Aro that their connection was impossible to break.

"How about the other one?" Aro asked, taking a look at Chantelle. The vampire informed him that Chantelle was only connected by family ties and no romantic feelings for anyone here. "Perfect! Renesmee was my first choice but that one will do," Aro called taking a step forward. My mom's shield erupted out around us. Firstly in a string circling us then it grew into a giant dome.

"Isabella my dear, please drop your shield. I am not here to harm you or your family. I have given your son my word," he said. My mom narrowed her eyes at him.

"I'm sorry, I just don't trust you," she said.

Edward, please ask your beautiful bride to allow me to pass. I only wish the young girl and my son meet. Aro thought. My dad stiffened.

"There is no way in this world that Chantelle would leave with you to become your sons mate. You may as well leave," I heard gasps around me. My aunt Rosalie pulled Chantelle into her.

"You will not have my daughter," she snarled at him. Aro let out a sigh.

"I only wish they meet, and then Chantelle can decide."

"I decide my family," Chantelle said stepping out of her mother's arms. She walked to the edge of the shield. She was feet away from Aro but my mom's shield was separating them.

"Chantelle my dear, imagine the things I could give you. I wish to raise you alongside my son, then when you're older you'll have everything in the world and you won't have the trouble of finding someone to spend your forever with," Aro said sweetly. This was disturbing and disgusting. Aro had really taken his obsession with my family to a whole new level. Chantelle looked at the young boy.

"I am sorry. I have someone to spend my forever with. I have my family. I choose them." She said looking back up to Aro.

"Very well," Aro said. "Pancrazio," he said motioning to his son. The boy nodded and placed his hand on my mom's shield. He wasn't knocked back by it, he just closed his eyes. Seconds later my mom started whimpering and she collapsed onto her knees.

BELLA! My dad was screaming in his head. He dropped to her side.

"Bella?" He was asking her. I looked around me and noticed that the shield was still up only it was flickering, it was weak.

"He's… he's," she sobbed holding her head.

"What? What is he doing?"

"I'm not strong enough!" She cried.

"What are you doing to her?" Renesmee screamed at Aro as she ran to our mother.

"Merely disabling her power," Aro said with a grin on his face. I burned in fury.

"I can't fight it, I'm not strong enough," my mom sobbed. My dad cradled her in his lap as he watched the shield flicker more frequently. My grandpa and uncle Jasper suddenly joined us at our flanks. Emmet must have stayed behind with Joshua.

I wasn't sure how it came to my mind but it did, I looked over to my grandmother, catching her attention, she walked over to me and I handed Chloe's hand to her.

"Eddie!" I heard Chloe hiss as I walked away from her and over towards my mom. I took her left hand that was placed in her lap as she sobbed into my father's chest, she looked up surprised. I gripped her hand and pulled her onto her feet. I gripped her hand tighter. Channelling anything I could to her and trying to take the pain away. She took a sharp breath in and turned to face Aro. The shield was still flickering around us.

"On the count of three. One… two…" I said, knowing she realised what I was doing. Aro scanned our faces.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"You see Aro. I am no ordinary vampire. I was born out of magic, which makes me special. And I love my mother, and my sister, and my cousin and my entire family. I'm not going to watch you destroy them," I said then paused. "Three," I whispered. My mom took in a deep breath closing her eyes. I did the same. It was harder for me because I had never managed to push my shield out before but with the current situation I used everything in me to channel my strength into my mom. I heard Aro groan in frustration. I opened my eyes to see the shield solidifying again. I saw the boy try to concentrate harder; he pushed harder against the shield. I could feel it now. I could feel the shield and I could feel my mom. Not because I was holding her hand, I could really feel her. I could feel her soul, her soul was bright and beautiful. I could feel every single person under the shield. It felt amazing, as if they were all candle lights, my mom was easily the brightest. I focused more on the boy trying to get through and within one mere second the boy was thrown back away from the shield. Aro screamed in terror for the boy running over to him and the guards surrounded them.

"Father," I could hear the boy sobbing. "Father," he repeated. Aro stood up from the boy and faced us.

"Help him," he ordered.

"Why should we do that? He tried to hurt my family." My grandpa said.

"Carlisle the boy is innocent, he is only doing what he is told," my grandmother said.

"Bella…" Carlisle said. My mom sighed.

"Back away from the child so Carlisle can see to him," my mom said. The guard moved and I felt my mom move her shield outwards surrounding the injured boy. Carlisle moved over to him and knelt down to hover over him. He looked over the boy's skin. I reached over to touch my dad.

He's burnt, badly. By electricity it would seem. But Bella has never produced electricity from her shield before. Carlisle thought.

"Eddie combined his power with Bella. Bella may not have that type of shield but Eddie might. Bella threw him back and Eddie burnt him," my father said. My grandpa nodded.

"I can't treat him here," my grandpa said. "I suggest if you want your son to live get him some blood to drink."

Aro stared at my mom until she pulled the shield away from the boy. Aro bent down and took the boy in his arms.

"If he dies I will not stop until your daughter is dead too." Aro said to my mom.

"I'd like to see you try," my mom scowled at him. "I have had enough of you trying to hurt my family. Next time I see you Aro I will wipe out your guard and everyone that stands in my way from killing you."

Aro narrowed his eyes at my mom.

"I wish we didn't have to be so cruel to each other... Very well young Bella. If my son dies then we go to war," Aro said. He didn't show any glimpse in his mind that he was afraid of us. He carried the injured boy into the forest. The guard followed him and disappeared. We all sighed in relief. My dad pulled my mom into his arms, whispering how proud he was and how much he loved her. I turned to Chloe who was behind my grandmother. I caught her eye watching me. She took a step away from my grandmother and I ran vampire speed over to her, taking her into my arms. It took her a few seconds for her brain to catch up with my speed. She wrapped her arms around my waist resting her head on my chest. I kissed her dark hair and looked up to see Renesmee in Jacob's arms smiling directly at me. I chuckled lightly and Chloe pulled away from me and looked up to my face. I pulled my eyes away from my sister to look at her. Unable to resist I leant down and placed a small kiss on her forehead then her cheek, just to the side of her nose, she smiled. I pulled away and took her hand as we all walked back into the cottage.

"Are we going home now?" Chantelle asked, wrapped in my grandpa's arms.

"Yes sweetheart. We are," my grandpa said with a smile.

"Go get your stuff," my dad said to Renesmee but also indicating the same to Chantelle and Chloe. They all started walking in the direction of the bedrooms. Chloe's hand remained in mine until it was impossible to walk any further whilst holding my hand. I felt her fingers slip out of mine and I watched her as she walked away from me. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I span around to see my mom standing right next to me. She pulled me into a hug.

"I love you and I'm so proud of you," she whispered. I hugged her tighter.

"Thanks, love you too mom," I replied. She pulled away and placed her hands on my face staring into my eyes. I focused on her mind, just in case she was going to tell me something.

Be careful. She's human Eddie, I know from experience it's not going to be easy. But you are your father's son, and you have us. Anything you need, we're here. She thought. I smiled at her then looked behind her to see my dad. I looked at them, my dad with his hand on my mom's shoulder, his other on her waist. They were happy and they were together, forever. That's what I wanted. I didn't mind if I followed in my parents footsteps, I wanted to be like them. Chloe and I may not be able to have children like them but that would be down to Renesmee to give them grandchildren –if she even could-, Chloe was just too fragile, just like my mom was.
