Bella

Chapter 2

On our third morning in Forks- without any sign of the Volturi- I lay in bed with Edward, his eyes were black and I knew he hadn't been hunting for a few weeks. He caught me looking at him and I pulled my shield back for him, Shall we go hunting?

"I think we should." Edward smiled and got up to get dressed.

Ten minutes later we ran through the forest, Edward slightly ahead of me as we headed up to the mountains. We were on the edge of the forest when Edward froze and caught my arm. 

"What is it?" I asked as he sniffed and tensed, ignoring my question he shouted out, "Carlisle!" 

"Is it them?" I whispered, Edward shook his head, "There's someone here but not them."

"How close?" I sniffed now smelling the scent he had picked up.

"Close." He nodded, "Let's get back to the house." I nodded and we ran hand in hand back towards the main house. We were about half way to the house when someone jumped on my back. I gasped and backed in to a tree.

"Get away from her!" Edward growled as he pulled the person from my back. The female hissed at him and grabbed his neck. I growled and ran at her as Edward fell backwards under her grip. I fought with her. Twisting and bending, jumping and ducking. I listened carefully to find where she had gone in the trees and heard the whoosh of air as she jumped to the ground near an infant boy, Edward was nowhere in sight. Well not as I expected at least. The female lunged towards the infant and I heard his heart beating.

"No!" I growled, feeling an urge to protect this child. Alice beat me to her and with Jaspers help restrained the female. I turned to the child whom I had rushed to protect and looked at him. He lay asleep in oversized clothes, clothes that I recognised. They were Edwards clothes. But how? I thought frowning, and picked up the child, then my eyes widened in shock. This child, this human child had Edwards hair, at least a baby version of it. Then he awoke and began to cry in my arms. I ignored the cry as I looked in to his eyes, they were Edwards green eyes.

"Impossible." I whispered as I heard Carlisle and Esme join us.

"Bella, where's Edward?" Carlisle asked me. I turned slowly to face the others, still in shock myself.

"Who's child is this?" Esme asked as Carlisle stepped closer, his golden eyes slits as he looked at the baby in my arms.

"Amazing." Carlisle said before turning back to Esme, "Our child."

"It's him isn't it?" I asked, looking down to the baby who had now fallen asleep in my arms.

"Alice? Did you see it?" Carlisle asked, looking to where Alice and Jasper held the female.

"Yes, I saw them leaving and saw this woman coming after them, then I saw Edward change in to an infant and came running." Alice nodded, and let go of the woman, letting Jasper hold her, "What have you done to him?"

"You mean..." Esme looked from Alice to my arms, "...That's Edward?"

"Yes." Carlisle nodded, "As a human child."

 "But that's impossible!" Esme shook her head.

"Who sent you?" Alice asked the female.

"The Volturi told me to come and find the ones with the golden eyes." She gasped, "They told me to tell you that they want your powers."

"Well tell them from Alice that the visions change." Alice smiled wickedly as Seth appeared from the shadow of the trees. The female nodded and fled as Jasper released her.
