Twilight Reimagined Fanfiction

One more step

If you can't quite face looking up today 

Not knowing what's ahead 

Drop your gaze and watch your feet

Taking one more step

Instead

Something seemed to shift in (Y/n). She seemed more guarded but somehow more in pain. Jake seemed to sense her restlessness as well. Even little Renesmee noticed a difference. Even though Zafrina wasn't projecting she imagined (Y/n) and I splitting the closer we got to the Amuns. If anyone knows how to survive a Volturi assault Kebi and Amun would. However the moment we got in range I looked to (Y/n)who in turn looked at me. Amun has been hiding a little secret. When the foot opened Amuns eyes locked with mine. He knew me and what I could do. " Benjamin no longer needs to hide, " I spoke in my most soothing tone. He became as still as stone hearing Benjamin's name. "My deal with the Volturi puts him under my protection," (Y/n) spoke up, moving to my side. I was pleased to have her standing so close. However Amuns wild thoughts flicker through his head pulling me back to reality. "May we come inside," I asked ," it would be better if this doesn't reach human ears." Amun moved to the side to let us in. He froze stiff when he saw Renesmee. Exactly why we had her in the back. Jake was tense to, ready to protect Renesmee in this form if he had too. (Y/n) put herself between the two so Jake could walk in with Renesmee. "You better have a damn good explanation for bringing death to my front door," he snarls, causing ( Y/n)s newborn instincts to rise. She bared her teeth at him in a warning.

I bare my teeth at the new threat , the new enemy. A part of my mind yelled in the back of my head that I was being irrational. Another part of my head called not just for violence but for sweet blood, sweet crimson relief. My thirst seeming to flare with vengeance. Even when I knew he didn't carry any more in his body from venom that changed him over. Renesmee's fingertips brush the back of my hair bringing me back to myself. I took a step forward making Amun take a step back. I roll my eyes and snatch his hand making him see through the ability I picked up from Renesmee about the deal I had made to save Renesmee and the others. The fact she was not an immortal child but born and growing still to this day. He only relaxed at the part about any one who I considered relative to the Cullens would be safe in the deal. I then let his hand go when I was satisfied he no longer posed a threat. His mouth was open in surprise, his eyes nearly bugging out. "A mimic," he sounded like the breath had been knocked out of him, but of course it hadn't. "A mimic ," Benjamin had walked in about ready to show off when he overheard. His mate Tia stood behind him amused. I nod seeing in his mind the absolute joy, wanting to test me. My shoulders relaxed, my thirst for violence and blood seeming to vanish. However there was a mental thought that had me taking a literal step back. Edward was jealous...

It was irrational, but the moment (Y/n) relaxed it sent a tirade of naste thoughts pointed at Benjamin. Even though I knew he was with Tia , happily. (Y/n) took a step back looking at me in shock. "So she can read thoughts as well," Amun asked, looking between us. " Yes," I try to ignore the fact that all eyes were on me. Their thoughts are not trying to judge but doing so anyway. I had claimed to love Bella, and I did. It wasn't till this moment that I realized I had still been guarding my heart. Even though the pain of her loss was fresh she'd still want me to live. Looking to ( Y/n ) I knew she too was guarding her heart no matter the slips. "So why are you really here," Amun wasn't looking at me but his thoughts were pointed at me like an accusation. (Y/n)s head tilted curiously. My anxious gaze turned to her. "I thought immortals never got sick, " (Y/n) was making a face a human would in discomfort. "What do you mean," Jake took a step back praying Renesmee didn't catch whatever (Y/n) had. "We don't, " Benjamin frowns. "It's probably my body getting used to the diet of animal blood," she shrugged it off before we picked their brains on how they really survived the Volturi. Amun only agreed on the basis that he wouldn't have to hide Benjamin from the Volturi as much. I found myself hovering in concern. We don't get sick even with changing diets. It's true she wasn't like most newborns, but something was definitely off. I was anxious to get her back to Carlisle. We may not get sick ,but what about half breeds? There was no way for us to know with testing since our skin was like stone. Even so Benjamin still wanted to test (Y/n)s ability to mimic. To see if she was unable to mimic his talent or if he'd be an exception. The blade of loss seemed to dull just a little further, sting just a bit less at the reminder. As if taking one more step.
