Hope | j.black

the only way to survive.

The return of Jasper and Alice, cause stress and relief throughout the household. Walking into the living room with Jake and Renesmee, there dead heart beats shook in their bodies. They were all nervous, if they were living and didn't sparkle when they walked into the sunlight. Their hearts would sound like they would be close to exploding.

Watching Renesmee run over to her father, I watched Alice's glare stick to me like glue. Looking to her and Jasper, I raised an eyebrow at the couple that made a return. "Welcome back guys." I folded my arms, leaning my back against the doorframe. Jake took a seat on an armchair by me.

"We need to talk to you, Hope." Alice begun, seeing concern on her face. They all knew something that I obviously didn't.

"What's going on?" I asked the room, taking a seat on the armrest of the armchair that Jake sat on.

"The reason, Jasper and I came back. Earlier then expected, we were in New Orleans, when I had a vision. You were the vision." Looking around the room, I looked to Edward and Bella. Confused on what she was on about.

"What Alice, is trying to explain. You are our only chance, the only way to survive going against the Volturi." Edward stepped forward.

"I am already fighting? Isn't that why we have everyone here?" I questioned, confused.

"Hope, dear." Carlisle stepped forward. "What they are trying to say is, with your potential. What you can accomplish is limitless, you have the ability to take them out-." Esme cut him off, joining the conversation.

"With the snap of your fingers, if you truely wanted to. Alice has seen it." My head snapped back to Alice, narrowing my eyebrows. I took in a deep breath, seeing my other self stand behind Alice. She stood there smiling, arms folded.

"I haven't reached that potential yet."

"But, Hope." Bella walked over to me. "You already have." I knew she was referring to when my humanity was gone.

"I just need a moment, excuse me." I got to my feet, heading to the bathroom. Locking the door behind me, washing my face in the sink. I looked up in my reflection, jumping in my skin at my other self appearing. "Go, away." I gritted my teeth at her.

"Come on, you know I was right. Earlier in the car. Come on, let me help. You know you can't save them, save your niece, save that weak ass excuse of a man, Jake. They are all going to die." She took steps closer to me, practically standing up against my back. All I could do was grind my teeth. "If you make one simple mistake, they are all going to die." Shaking my head, i was determined to not let her win. "You remember, that town. With the little girl, right? The one you left, as she stood over her dead mother and father?"

"I'm not in the mood, right now. Just let me think, alone." I tried to walk away from her to the other mirror in the bathroom, but like an annoying stench. She followed.

"Hope, hope, hope, the Volturi are coming. They are coming for you, they are coming for your family. Are you going to run away from the potential you hold? Just because it scares you? Or are you going to man up and use it?" She spat.

"I'm not like you." I tried to argue with her, it is always yourself, being your worst enemy. Isn't it?

"Really? How else are you going to survive? How else are they out there, going to survive? I say, accept who you are. Let's get out there and kill some sparkly disco balls, huh?!"

Standing there silently, looking at myself in the reflection. My chest tightened for a moment and released from the pressure, the part I hated most about myself, was the part that was right... all along. Making my way back out to the living area, eyes landed on me quickly. Seeing Jake now standing with Edward and Carlisle, Bella looked at me like she wanted me to give an answer.

"What plan did you guys have in mind? Because, I think what I have in store. They will never see coming."
