The Rising Moon

Olympic Trio

                           Luka and Bella both watched worriedly over the past months as Renesmee, Sarah, and Nathan begin growing up from looking like a few months old to a few years old. All the Cullen's worried about how long we would have with them, but It just made every moment more precious. One day Renesmee, Sarah, and Nathan were playing in the snow while Bella, Luka, and Jacob were watching them with Luka and Jacob in their wolf forms. All three kids looked almost seven years old as they run around catching snowflakes. "Look, a snowflake," Renesmee said in excitement as she shows Bella the snowflake. Bella smiles as Sarah and Nathan run over to look, "It's beautiful. Why don't you each go get another one?" Bella asked. Renesmee and Nathen were the first to run off and find more snowflakes with Sarah right behind them. "Edward thinks that we'll find answers in Brazil. There are tribes there that might know something," Bella said as she looks at Jacob and Luka. Luka nods her huge head before looking back at the kids as they jump in the air for the snowflakes. Suddenly Luka sees a figure off in the distance watching them and catches the scent of a vampire, causing her to growl. Nathan runs to his mother's side when hearing her growl and wraps his arms around her front legs as Bella and Jacob look up. "Who was that?" Renesmee and Sarah asked as they moved to their mother's side. "I think that's our cousin from Denali. Irina!" Bella calls out. Looking visibly upset at seeing Renesmee, Sarah, and Nathan, Irina runs off before Bella can speak with her. Back at the house, after Carlisle has spoken to Tanya, "Tanya convinced lrina to come reconcile with us," Carlisle said as he sits with Esme on the couch.

                            "It looks like she changed her mind," Edward said as Bella leans against Jacob. "Seeing Jacob and Luka must have been too much for her," Esme said, causing Luka to turn from the window. "I understand she lost her mate but lashing out every time she sees us won't bring him back," Luka said as Nathan runs in, giggling and clings to his mother's leg, making Luka smile and run her fingers through his silky honey blonde hair. "Wish I could have just spoken to her," Bella said. "She's family. She'll come around," Carlisle said in a comforting tone as Edward, who's sat with Renesmee and Sarah at the piano and started playing as Rosalie walking in and kisses Nathan on the head. The sound of a vase shattering catches everyone's attention as Jasper appears at Alice's side, "What is it, Alice?" Jasper asked in a worried tone. "The Volturi. They're coming for us: Aro, Caius, Marcus, the Guard. And lrina," Alice said, causing the hair on the back of Luka's neck to stick up. "Sweeties, come here," Bella said, causing Renesmee and Sarah to move to their mother's side as Rosalie picks Nathen up. "Why?" Carlisle asked in a worried tone as Luka puts a protective arm around Rosalie. "What did lrina see in the woods?" Edward asked while looking at Bella. "We were just walking," Bella said in confusion, not sure how that could be a problem. "Ness, Sarah, and Nathan were catching snowflakes," Luka said. "Of course. Irina thinks there immortal Children," Edward said, confusing Bella, Jacob, and Luka. "Ok, I definitely need vampire 101. What is an immortal child?" Luka asked, causing Greyson to chuckle. "The immortal Children were very beautiful. So enchanting. To be near them was to love them. But their development was frozen at the age they were turned. They couldn't be taught or restrained. A single tantrum could destroy an entire village. Humans heard about the devastation. Stories spread. The Volturi were forced to intervene. Since the Children couldn't protect our secret, they had to be destroyed. Their creators grew very attached and fought to protect them. Long-established covens were torn apart. Countless humans were slaughtered. Traditions, friends, even families. Lost," Carlisle said. "So the Denali's mother made an immortal child?" Bella asked. "Yes. And she paid the price," Carlisle said in a saddened tone, but rage fills Luka. "So Irina jumped to conclusions because of her anger over Jacob and me! She puts our kids in danger over such things!" Luka said as she begins to shake, but Rosalie takes Luka's hand in hers, calming her. "Luka's right. They're nothing like those children. They were born, not bitten. They grow every single day," Bella said.

                              "So can't you just explain that to the Volturi?" Jacob asked. "Aro has enough proof in Irina's thoughts," Edward said. "So we fight," Jacob said, but Jasper shakes his head. "Their offensive weapons are too powerful. No one can stand against Jane," Jasper said. "Alec's even worse," Alice said. "I don't care how strong they are. No one will take my son from me," Luka said, making Jasper and Alice look at her in surprise. "We will convince them," Bella said, not willing to give up either. "They're coming to kill us, not to talk," Emmett said as Greyson nods. "No, you're right. They won't listen to us. But maybe others can convince them. Carlisle, you have friends all around the world," Edward said. "I won't ask them to fight," Carlisle said, not wanting to put anyone else in danger. "Not fight. Witness. If enough people knew the truth, maybe we could convince the Volturi to listen," Edward said. Esme turns to Carlisle, "We can ask this of our friends," Esme said. That night everyone begins to pack so they can gather as many vampires as they can. "At least we get to go to London again. We haven't been there in a long time," Esme said while smiling at Carlisle. "All right. Let's get this show on the road," Jacob said as Luka sees Sam walking up the house; Sam gives Carlisle a note. "Alice asked me to give you that. She and Jasper crossed our lands to the ocean last night," Sam said. Carlisle reads the note and looks at the others, "Carlisle?" Esme said. "They've left us," Carlisle said while looking at the note. "Why?" Rosalie asked in confusion, not understand why her sister and brother would just leave them. "She didn't say," Carlisle said, not completely understanding why they would take off. "Can I see that?" Bella asked, causing Carlisle to nod and give Alice's note to Bella. Bella turns the note over and sees that it's a page torn from 'The Merchant of Venice' by William Shakespeare.
