Took me a little while to figure out where this was gonna go, but without further ado, Chapter 12!

Renesmee P.O.V.

The smell of sweet blood woke me from the darkness. I moved my toes and fingers, slowly regaining feeling in my limbs. After what seemed like hours, even though they were mere minutes, my eyelids flickered open. 

"Darling, you're awake." A foreign voice said to me, and my vision focused on the one human being I could not even bear to look at. 

My mother. 

"Get the hell off of me!" I shouted, jumping to my feet and frantically searched for my love. As I looked around, I soon realized the blood that had made me stir was my own, which was pooled on the bottom of the three step incline to the five thrones. 

I felt the back of my head, and immeidately felt the sensitive skin where I must have hit my head. I winced, and continued looking for Alec. I saw him, being restrained by Felix and Heidi. 

I rushed over to him, making myself dizzy. I grabbed his shoulders to steady myself and him as well. 

"Alec, baby, I'm okay. Look at me." I said, grabbing his face and making him look me in the eyes. His eyes were wild, his pupils dilated as far as they could go. I kissed his lips, long and hard, not caring who else was in the room. I heard hisses and growls, but I didn't care. 

I felt Alec turn to putty in my arms, and I knew he was okay. I pulled away from his mouth and looked at him again. He pulled me into him, and hugged me as tight as he could without hurting me. 

"Good to see you have woken, Miss Renesmee." Aro greeted me, and I nodded back at him. I looked around and took in the scene that was displayed in front of me. 

Esme and Carlisle were turned away from the madness, and it seemed as though Esme was dry sobbing into Carlisle's arms. My mother was still sitting in front of the bloody stairs, and my father was trying to get her to move. My mother seemed to be going into shock, and my father was unreadable. As usual. 

The doors to the Hall were no longer on their hinges, but on the ground. There were also more members of the Volturi in the Hall now, all on high alert. 

Alec picked me up into his arms and brought me up the steps, and over the our thrones. But instead of putting me into my own chair, he sat down in his, and kept me in his lap. I snuggled into his shoulder, too weak to comprehend what was about to happen. 

I noticed Heidi and Felix step in front of Alec's throne, guarding me from the view of the Cullens. I heard Esme and Carlisle turn around, and also picked up the sound of the other members of the council taking their seats as well. 

I heard Aro take a deep breath, and I knew he was trying to keep himself composed, but his child was just attacked, there was no way he was going to hold back. 

"How dare you come into our home, our place of work and attack our prized possesion. How dare you?!" Aro said, his voice rising at the last three words of his surprisingly short scolding. 

"Bella did not mean it, she just lost control when she saw Renesmee's ring and her eyes." I heard my father's silk voice say, and I began to cry. 

This was it. This was that one event in my life that will break me. 

Hearing them, seeing them, watching all four of their hearts break as I grabbed Aro's hand. Even though I always wanted to see my mother in pain, to feel the pain I felt, I never knew the effect it would have on myself. 

But I knew in my heart that I belonged in the Volturi, and I could never leave the one person who made my heart whole. 

Alec must have sensed that I was not ready to face my old family, so he called over to Aro, and stroked soothing patterns into my hip length hair. 

"Aro, she isn't ready to see them. Especially after all she has gone through in the past four days. Can I take her back to our room?" He asked Aro, and Aro looked back me, asking permission. 

I wiped the tears off of my rosy pink cheeks, sat up, and got off of Alec's lap. I walked over to the steps, careful not slip on my blood, and stood a few feet from my old family. 

"Wait," I said, my strength returning, piece by piece. I looked back at Alec and the rest of the Council, and every one of them had worried looks on their stone faces. I nodded at them signaling was okay. 

Despite my nod, Heidi and Felix came up behind me, and stood on my flanks, ready for any incoming danger. 

My high heeled shoes suddenly made my feet ache, but I didn't care. This was my time to finally tell my mother off. 

"How dare you, Mother?! How dare you send away the one thing that made me happy?! The one thing that lit up my life. Aha, oh wait. Actually I thank you for that. Because running away was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I met the love of my life. But let's not dwell in the past, right?" I said, forcefully. My speech seemed to wake my mother and Esme out of their shock-like trance, but I was far from finished. 

"How dare you come into my home, demand to see me, and then attack me? Hmm? Tell me. Because I would really like to know." I shouted in my mother's face, not caring anymore about what I said. This speech was meant to hurt, and nothing else. 

"I...I..." My mother stuttered, but I wasn't having any of it. 

I turned on my heel, and walked in front of the bloody step. I looked at Aro, and adrenaline coursed my veins. I put my hand into his so he could read my thoughts. He smiled and nodded, and my plan was finally put in motion. 

I turned round once again, but stayed in my position. I smiled wickedly at the Cullens.

"Throw them in the dungeons, all in seperate cells. Don't put them near Jane." I stated simply, and started to walk out of the room. The burliest men in the room grabbed all four of them and dragged them out in front of me. Alec rushed to my side. 

"And someone clean that blood up!" I shouted and walked out of the hall, strutting down the corridor with my heels clicking against the tile floor and Alec following close behind me. 

As I reached our bedroom, I started giggling. I opened up our door, and ran to the bed. I laid down and just laughed until I cried. 

"What's so funny, sweet girl?" Alec asked me, and I finally my composure. 

"Having power is amazing." I said, and caught my breath, but adrenaline coursing through my veins again. 

I realized in this moment that I can't wait any longer. This is the time. 

"Alec, I'm ready." I breathed, and Alec looked at me, clearly shocked. 

And we spent the afternoon being united as one, not caring what had just happened or what was to come.
