Author Note: Holy crap dudes! Do you realize how long it took me to find the book that had this chapter in it!!! I would've written it by memory…but…meh. I hope you like the chapter and I will get the unneeded chapter done...eventually. Ooo!!! New Moon rocked and inspired me once again! :D Taylor Lautner =: O *wolfwhistle* Oh and usually deal, I don't own twilight blah blah blah.
Esme cradled a crying Renesme in her arms as they sat in their cell situated in the lowest levels of the Volturi's magnificent castle. They had forced her into the guard uniform, which basically consisted of black, except for the red cloak which matched that of the Marcus Day ones, for some unknown reason to her. She turned her gaze to the strange metal locked around both her and Renesme's ankles. She desperately wished she had learned something about metals sometime in her long life. She felt weak, like a human, not being able to break free.
Esme wasn't as frightened as she knew, the Guard, Aro, Marcus and Caius, wanted her to be. How could she be frightened when she had her soldier, her angel and her savior coming for her? Carlisle was far from weak and harmless as most thought he was. Carlisle was just as experienced, just out of practice, then Jasper but he made up for any combat skills he lacked with strategy, enough so that he could get himself out of practically any situation. That was his power. Of course, no one ever realized this, especially Edward, as it wasn't something he used often or thought about.
None the less, she was worried. Worried about poor Bella and Edward when they found out about Renesme's disappearance. Worried about Carlisle reaction to her disappearance, that he would finally realize how inadequate she was compared to him. She was nowhere near as radiant as him, she wasn't as graceful, and she definitely wasn't as intelligent. Anyone could see that she was below him.
No! No! He would come; he loved her with all his mind, heart, body and whatever soul he had. He had said so on their wedding day, and every day since then!
But…there was that creeping doubt in the back of her mind. At least if he did realize how incompatible they were, he would come for Renesme and then she would at least see him one last time before Aro killed her.
"Grandma?" Renesme's scared voice broke her from her train of thought. Esme's blank stare turned to a reassuring smile as she looked down at Renesme.
"Yes, sweetheart?" She tried to copy Carlisle's calm but firm voice.
"When are Daddy, Mummy, Uncle Emmett, Uncle Jazz, Aunty Rose, Aunty Allie and Grandpa coming to get us? Like you said they would." It was sad that the longest sentence that Renesme had ever said was so full of pure fear.
"Soon, love, soon"
Click. Creeaak.
The door swung open, revealing the red eyed glare of Alec and Jane, who quickly stepped aside to reveal Aro. He had a stunning smile and a skip in his step. Aro being so seemingly happy just scared Esme more.
"Hello, girls"
The girls simply stared blankly at him.
"Now, come now. Don't be like that; I have been nothing but kind, have I not?" As he spoke Aro switched his gaze between Esme and Renesmee.
"I've been waiting such a long time to finally meet, Carlisle's transformed, Tua Le Cante" Esme's jaw dropped, she had no idea that she had been Carlisle singer.
"You didn't know? How fascinating!" With that, Aro turned as left through the door he came, Alec and Jane, silently following behind. Even with his short stay, Aro had given Esme a lot to think about.
Singer's were irresistible and usually the vampire's soul mate. Edward wasn't very accurate with the explanation of a singer's blood "calling" to them. Not only did it call, it entranced them, hypnotized them and left them completely helpless. Whilst it was possible to drink your singer dry, it was only if they wished it. Otherwise, you could not kill them with causing yourself to self combust into flames. Causing them any kind of pain in general usually tripled it on you, with it be mental, physical or emotional.
How Carlisle had not only kept himself completely calm when he had first met her, then bite her, and not kill her, even when she begged for it, was beyond her. Another impossible feat by Carlisle Cullen.
Renesme looked at her Grandmothers thoughtful expression. She knew her grandmother was processing the information that Aro had given her. She sighed. She was good at reading people, but she didn't always understand it. She knew her grandma Esme, felt inadequate and below her grandpa. Renesme, on the other hand, thought they were perfect for each other, just like Mummy and Daddy. Emmy and Rosie, Allie and Jazz were. She knew that Grandpa would stop at nothing to help them, normally; she knew it would be her parent. But she had a feeling that Carlisle would go alone. Renesme sighed again, and wondered how things that seem so perfectly simple to her, were blemished and complex to everyone else.
Carlisle stepped off the plane in Venice. He had already arranged for some old friends to pick him up and take him to Volterra. They were rather reluctant to, but agreed none the less, even though they would be putting themselves through extreme danger.
Carlisle walked towards the car park, where a black lambigini pulled up in front of him. Carlisle dumped his bags in the back seat when it popped open and stepped into the passenger seat.
"Hello Afton, Chelsea, Renata, Corin, Felix, Demetri, Santiago, Heidi, Alec and Jane, It is good to see you all again"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever! Just know that as soon as we reach the castle, Chelsea will make us more, inclined to the Volturi once again" Felix spoke as he agitatedly gripped the wheel.
"Hurry up already would you! Jane is making my knees go numb!" Alec growled from the back.
"Are you implying that I'm FAT?!" Cried an incredibly annoyed Jane.
"If I were going to call you fat, I would've said so, no implying involved!"
"Stop it both of you! Or I'll throw you out of the fucking car and off a bridge!" Both Jane and Alec shut up as Heidi glared at them from her place on Demetri's lap. Demetri groaned and said
"Felix start the mother fucking piece of shit because I get more issues!"
"What sort of issues?!" Cried Heidi, nearly leaping of his lap.
"If you feel something poke you, you'll know exactly what sort of issue I'm talking about!"
"WHAT?!"
The ride to Volterra went on as such. The Guard's actual personalities are repressed by Chelsea with her power, as she is the younger sister of Caius. The only reason she let the Guard go a little was because of how much Carlisle had helped her when he stayed at the castle.
"YOU BETTER PUT THIS GOD DAMN CAR INTO OVERDRIVE DAMNIT! I DON'T, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WANT TO SEE DEMETRI IN ANYWAY AROUSED! YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUE FUCKING MEANING OF PAIN IF THIS SHITTY THING DOESN'T DRIVE OVER 200 IN THE NEXT 2 SECONDS!!" Jane and Alec, did not like cars, and as twins, did not mind screaming their opinion of Demetri's issue at the top of their lungs at the same time.
Author Note: Okay, the Volturi "Fight" at the end just sort of wrote itself from the point of "Felix spoke as he agitatedly gripped the wheel" LMFAO :D
