JACOB

Everyone started moving from the kitchen into the hall. I grabbed Bella's hand pulling her back, she looked at me confused.

"Bella, please don't do this," I pleaded with her. I didn't want her in danger anymore than I'd want Renesmee in danger.

"Jake…" she said, her face softening in sympathy. I was fully aware of both Renesmee and Edward watching us but I didn't care. I cared for my best friend's safety. My girlfriends jealousy could wait.

"Please…" I begged.

"Jacob, why do I need to keep reminding you I'm a vampire now? I'm not human, I'm not fragile. I can take care of myself. You know this, no one will hurt me," she said placing her hand on my cheek. I couldn't ever show her how much pain I was in imagining her out there. Yeah I knew she was a vampire now. I could see that, but my protectiveness went deeper than the facts. It was in my love for her.

"But…" I began but she cut me off.

"Oh Jake. Stop worrying about me. Worry about your girlfriend. I need you here protecting her. You are the only person other than Edward I truly trust to take care of her." She whispered to me as she hugged me. I secured my arms around her. One wrapped around her waist and the other across her back resting on her shoulder. I sighed, being this close to her made my nose burn with her vampire stink but I tried to make sure it didn't ruin the moment. Edward laughed from behind Bella.

"She's thinking the same thing. Glad that's changed," he laughed. Bella giggled and pulled away from me.

"Just think Jacob. With the Volturi gone, we can live freely, without the worry of their next attack. Your children will never know the fears you once did. I want my grandchildren to have the childhood my children never did. Please Jake. Think about your future for once. Your kids are going to be rarer than Renesmee… possibly rarer that Eddie. The Volturi are going to want them." She said. Her talking about kids and grandkids sort of knocked me off guard. I hadn't intentionally thought about if Renesmee and I could ever have kids, let alone what they would be like. I looked briefly over to Renesmee who was watching me intently. Her face was blank, as if she was desperately trying to hide the emotions she was feeling.

"Okay," I said turning back to Bella, she smiled widely and leant forward to kiss my cheek, she walked away from me and into Edwards arms. I looked at Renesmee only a few feet away from me. She looked… upset? Angry? I didn't know. She was as confusing as Edward when it came to her facial expressions. I could read Bella like a book, but Renesmee was just so… so Edward.

I looked at Jasper, trying to get him to interpret whether I should go over to her or leave her alone.

"Go over to her," Edward whispered so only I could hear. I made my way over to her and wrapped my arms around her. I will admit it felt much better to have Renesmee in my arms than Bella and that wasn't just down to the fact Renesmee smelt better. She sighed and returned my hug, just in time for us to catch Eddie and Chloe's conversation.

CHLOE

I held onto Eddie's hand as tight as I could. I really really didn't want him to be fighting.

"Chloe why are you holding onto me so tight?" he asked. I looked up at him scared. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Read my mind! I screamed in my head but clearly that hadn't crossed his mind. Sure, he reads my mind when I don't want him to but when I do… nope.

"Why do you have to fight? Bella's shield is good enough, why do you have to go?" I asked. He sighed and turned so he was facing me.

"Because my family needs me. I know everything they did to Renesmee before I was born. Everything they've done to my family, Aro is going to expect me to turn you and I just don't want that kind of pressure. Sure it's a rather extreme way of doing things but it needs to be done. I want us to be free. All of us, my whole family." He replied.

"But… I want you to stay with me," I choked out. "I don't feel safe without you," I whispered.

"Babe…" he said painfully and put his hand on my neck. "You'll be fine. I'll be protecting you. I would never let them get to you," he whispered. I stared into his brown eyes for what felt like forever before I finally gave up.

"Fine," I murmured and turned to walk out the house.

"Where do you think you're going?" Eddie asked pulling me back.

"Err… with everyone else?" I asked more as a question.

"No you're not!" Eddie nearly shouted I flinched slightly; here goes the controlling thing again.

"Chloe… they are newborn vampires. I don't think you quite understand what that means. They're blood thirsty every second of the day. You met one, imagine twenty, thirty in the same room. You'll be dead before you step foot in the building. Please for the sake of my sanity stay here," he said. I relaxed. Oh. I didn't think of the vampires. I always got so carried away thinking they were harmless. Being with the Cullen's I forgot what vampires were really like.

"Sorry. Yeah I forgot," I said quietly, he smiled at me.

"It's fine."

"Why hasn't there been any news coverage of the missing people like there was last time?" Esme asked.

"It's only been a couple of weeks. I'm sure it will come up soon," Carlisle said.

"We could ask Charlie. I mean he's got to know something. Not that it really matters, but we could explain to him that they're not really missing." Bella said. Charlie? Charlie was… I was trying to remember who he was.

"Her father," Edward answered.

"Oh," I said with a little giggle. I don't know how I forgot that. Renesmee's middle name was an amalgamation of her grandfathers. I think I'd like to meet Charlie; he was the only other human that knew of the Cullen's.

"Not the only one," Eddie whispered. There he goes with reading my mind at the wrong time thing.

"Who else?" I asked wondering about the others.

"There are a bunch of humans in La Push that know about us. The wolves' families and the elders. There are more than you think," I had forgotten about them, I guess I should have known Jacob's family would have known. I didn't feel so special anymore.

"You'll always be special," Eddie whispered in my ear. I grinned at him.

Thanks.

"You're welcome."

CHANTELLE

After my family had done their heart to hearts. I lead everyone minus Chloe and my grandma to the warehouse that was on the north side of Forks. Although Renesmee and my grandpa were not going to be involved in the battle they tagged along for curiosity. My mom stayed tight at my side as we arrived.

"Mom you don't need to be so protective. No one is going to hurt me," I said to her. "Just wait out here a minute; I can't just walk in with you all. I need to explain," I said to my family, they nodded and remained outside as I walked into the building. There was a small reception area, mostly for cover. My eldest brother Jeremiah was behind the desk.

"Hey Jer," I said with a smile.

"Hey Chanti, I see you brought your family." He said. I nodded.

"They sort of found out. I didn't realise that Bella and Eddie were immune to my ability. They found me out yesterday." I admitted. He nodded and stood up from the desk.

"We were expecting that. So what did they say? Obviously they are not punishing you or I'd imagine you would be tied up in your room right now," he laughed.

"No. I explained it all. They're going to do it Jeremiah. They will help," I said smiling widely.

"Well that's good news. I'll just go tell Sara and Lizzy." He said and walked into the warehouse. Lizzy was the eldest of our 'family'. Her real name was Elizabeth. She could dream the future and she was the one in charge of the whole thing, her and Sara. Moments later Sara and Lizzy came into the lobby.

"Chantelle! I hear you have brought us good news," Sara said.

"I have, I have," I said like an excited child. "My family have agreed. I know you wanted me to keep them in the dark for another few weeks but Bella and Eddie were immune to my ability." I answered.

"Very well," Sara said. "Bring them in and we'll show them around."

I nodded and walked out the building. My family were all waiting patiently. I motioned for them to follow me. They followed me into the building.

"Hello! Welcome, it's so nice to finally meet the famous Cullen's," Lizzy said.

"This is Carlisle, Edward, Bella, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Renesmee and Jacob," I said introducing them. "This is Sara, Lizzy and Jeremiah."

"Nice to meet you," my grandpa said. "You are Chantelle's birth siblings yes?" he asked Lizzy and Jeremiah. They nodded and smiled warmly at Carlisle.

"The eldest two," Lizzy answered.

"Not to be rude but can I ask how old you are? What intervals did your father create you all?"

"I am just under a century. Jeremiah is ten years younger. Most of the others are between ten and twenty years apart. Except the youngest three. We have a brother who isn't far from being fully grown, then Chantelle and then our youngest Harry is only a few months old. He was created not long before our father was killed."

"Oh that's interesting!" my grandpa said gleaming, he seemed to really enjoy listening to the stories. "Has there ever been cases of twins? I always wondered how it would turn out if there was."

"Yes, we have a set of twins in our family. The mother just lives half as long but in double the amount of pain. Or so it seems. The twins were born a lot earlier than expected." Lizzy answered. I turned to look at my aunt who was staring at horror at Lizzy. I always felt bad for my aunt when people spoke about the 'mothers of the hybrids'.

"Chantelle?" I heard a familiar voice. I peeked behind Sara and Lizzy to see Alex coming towards us.

"Alex!" I shouted and made my way over to him.

"Hey, how come you're here? I'm guessing you told them all," he said to me, I nodded.

"Had to," I replied.

"Well if you would all like to follow me, there are better places to talk." Lizzy said and opened the double doors into the warehouse.

A lot of the vampires that were hanging around turned to look at us.

"Channy!" I heard a familiar little voice. My four year old brother came running up to me. He couldn't say my name correctly just yet. After all he was only really two months old.

"Hey," I said lifting him into my arms. I turned to my family. "This is the one I was telling you about. This is Harry. His gift is… hard to explain," I said, I was sure they'd get to see it.

"Hey sweetie," my aunt Bella said.

"Hi," he answered politely. "Are you Channy's mommy?" he asked.

"No sweetie, I'm her aunt," she said.

"That's my mommy," I said to him pointing at my mom.

"Hi!" he said a little bit more enthusiastic.

"Hello," my mom replied with a smile.

"You actually look like her. In a strange you are not related sort of way." Lizzy said. I laughed slightly, I didn't care that I wasn't 'related' to my family they were still my family and although I had got to know my real siblings recently I would still rather be a Cullen. My uncle Edward ran his hand down my hair, I looked up at him and we smiled at each other.

"Good to know, you have no idea how much your mother has been worrying about that," he said to me.

"I'll always be a Cullen," I assured him and turned back to Lizzy. "This…" I said pointing at Nessie. "Is Renesmee," I said to her.

"Ah. Edward and Isabella's biological daughter, yes. I can see the resemblance. And you," she said looking at Eddie with a wide smile. "You are Edward. The third I believe," she said. Eddie nodded kindly to her.

"Ah you are fascinating!" she said and walked around him in a circle. My aunt Bella took a protective step towards him. "Oh," She said coming back to his front and looking closer at his face. "Really… you are," she said with a smile. I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry about Lizzy, she loves new things," I said. Jeremiah laughed behind me.

"That she does," he answered.

"Well I'm starting to get uncomfortable," Eddie said leaning back slightly as Lizzy's face came closer to his. I laughed and tugged Lizzy's arm back with my spare hand.

"Well this is wonderful!" she said to him and stepped back, she then walked over to Nessie. "You are very lucky to have your mother Renesmee. There are a lot of people here that wished they still had theirs," She said, looking back and forth between Nessie and Bella.

"I know," Nessie answered with a smile. Lizzy then turned to Jacob who was tight at Nessie's side.

"Now… who are you?" she asked and looking at me.

"Oh. Well I didn't tell you about the wolves, 'cause, well, I don't know to be honest. They're not big with the vampire thing," I said. She turned back to Jacob.

"He doesn't look like a wolf," she said.

"He smells like one though," Sara said.

"He does?" Lizzy asked and leant forward to sniff him. "He doesn't smell that bad," she said, I saw Nessie growl slightly. "So you're a wolf?" she asked.

"A shape shifter. My form is a wolf, yes. Like many others from my tribe," Jacob answered her.

"Hmm… something else that's new. Ohh a lot of new things today!" she said excitedly.

"Jacob, you don't have to, I mean I need you to stay with Nessie and Chloe back at home but would any of your pack be willing to help?" I asked. It was a long shot and they'd probably be doing nothing but every little helps.

"I'd have to talk to Sam. We'll see. I'll let my pack decide themselves but it's down to Sam as to whether his are allowed," he answered me; I nodded and smiled at him.

"So! I believe you have a few friends here, let's go reunite you with them!" Lizzy said excitedly and took us all further into the warehouse.
