Solar Eclipse - Book 5

Blanket of darkness

Even though one threat was gone I still had the problem of the Volturi. The entire coven was here and ready to fight us. The entire coven except Sili and Jake. Maybe we had a chance in winning this battle.

"Rachel, we had a deal." Aro seethed.

Rachel, who was gawking at Matthew turned to look at him. "We had a deal Aro, but there are loopholes to every deal and mine happened to be Matthew changing his mind. You are on your own." she sneered.

Rachel laced her fingers through Matthew's and the two quickly disappeared into the forest. Now it was just my family, the two wolf packs and the Volturi.

"If you leave us in peace we will forget this ever happened. No grudges will be held Aro." Carlisle spoke, trying to end this all.

"As long as you have what I want there will always be a grudge to hold." he responded.

"You know what will happen if you try and take us, Alice told you once before and Zelda confirmed it."

"Yes, of course but that was before we acquired our newest members. I believe you are familar with your puppy Jacob, wait until you see his power now."

"J-Jake would never ever hurt us. He joined you because he would do anything to protect us." I shouted at him.

Aro laughed manically. "Dearest Renesmee, you obviously don't know the power of persuasian when it comes to being a member of the Volturi. You could send your father to us and in a month he would be walking, talking and feeding as if he had always been one of us. Now imagine several months. The Jacob you knew no longer exists on this planet."

My lip began quivering as I fought to hold back sobs that wanted to break free. I didn't want to believe that my Jacob was gone. After all he did to protect me I hurt him and then he lost sight of who he was.

"You lie." My father interrupted. "You haven't seen Jacob or Sili in three months. Rachel was your only chip you could play to get an advantage over us and you just lost it. Now you have nothing which is why you are delaying on any sort of action. You are afraid, afraid to lose."

Aro's face was a blank canvas of emotion. I couldn't tell if he was angry or scared but I knew something wasn't right, atleast for Aro.

"We will not leave until we have what we came for." He growled.

"You can't do this."  Carlisle said.

"Oh we can and we will old friend."

Alice did a flip over Demetri, landing in a sitting position on his shoulders, with his head between her legs.  Squeezing her thighs together tightly she put him in a headlock and pulled up. A defeaning sound that reminded me of grinding metal was heard before his head popped off and landed several feet to the left.

Then all hell broke loose.

Rosalie and Emmett double teamed Felix while Carlisle and Esme went after  Aro. My mother and father ignored the entire battle and came straight to my side. My father lifted me into his arms and went to take a step before Caius grabbed him and threw him backwards.

My fathers grip on me tighted as we were airborne. When we landed I heard a crack and a scream escaped my lips. A sharp burning pain quickly filled my chest and every breath I took hurt. I couldn't move.

"Renesmee?" My father gasped as he released me. 

Carlisle joined our side and began assessing me while the fight continued. Only I couldn't understand why my father was here but my mother wasn't. She would be here right?

"Her ribs are shattered." I heard Carlisle say through the ruckus.

In the next half second I was quickly lifted and moved deeper into the woods by my father. Carlisle adjusted my body so I could breath a little more comfortable and then he went back to the fight.
