A Potter Secret

Birth of a Hybrid

          Ron returns a few hours later with a large wolf at his side and a backpack stuffed. Isabella smiles as everyone else looks confused. She sets up a few charms for their safety as Ron sets dozens of rocks in the pen. Jacob steps inside and sits with Bella by the window as Edward comes out. "Ready?" Isabella calls.

Everyone looks on confused. Isabella waves her wand and instantly the pen is filled with bears, deer, and a few mountain lions. Jasper's the first to attack, taking a few down in an instant. As they finish, they're eyes are all bright topaz and they're all covered in blood. Carlisle looks a little sheepish when he realize even he didn't have a clean kill. "Filled up?" Ron asks.

They all nod and Isabella takes down the charms. "Good." She vanishes the carcass' before Ron empties the rest of the bag and turns them all into animals. "That should last you for a while longer if you ration wisely," Isabella explains. "I get that this is hard on you all but, with any luck, it'll end for the better.

Isabella and Ron sit in a room they're sharing for their time there. "Ron, there's- there's something I'm gonna need you to do for me."

"Anything," Ron assures. "You're like a second sister."

Isabella nods. "You know that me and Harry are connected, and you know Harry is connected to Voldemort," Isabella starts. "There's a reason Harry and I can hear the horcruxes and you and Hermione can't. That night Voldemort killed our parents, we each got a scar. He turned Harry and myself into a combined horcrux. There will come a moment where one of us must die in order for Voldemort to truly be gone."

Ron shakes his head. "No. No, I don't believe you."

Isabella watches him for a moment. "You do and I can see it. It's the only thing that makes sense. At some point, either Harry or I must be killed. I- I want you to stop Harry from stopping me. I must be the one to go. Harry has a future and a chance at real life."

"So do you," Ron reminds. "You're thirteen! You have so much time!"

Isabella shakes her head. "I've spent that time locked in a castle or as someone other than myself. I've never actually lived in the real world. You know that this is what must happen." Ron has tears in his eyes. "You can't tell Harry," She continues. "If you do, Voldemort will know what must happen. I am asking you to knock him out before he can stop me from doing my part to end this war."

Ron sniffles and nods.

Bella asks, "Hey. Are you okay?" when Jacob steps in.

"Yeah, it's not like I'm the one carrying a demon," Jacob mumbles.

"This is pretty important, Bella. Why don't you tell Jacob what you've decided?" Rosalie asks.

"What now?"

"Rose is trying to talk Bella out of her baby names."

Bella smiles. "She hates them."

"Well, then I'm on your side no matter what you picked," Jacob assures.

"They're not that bad. If it's a boy, EJ. Edward Jacob."

"Okay, fine, that one's not awful. Why don't you tell him the girl's name?" Rosalie says, resigned to the fact.

"I was playing around with our moms' names. Renée and Esme. And I was thinking- Renesmee."

"Renesmee," Jacob repeats.

"Too weird?" Bella asks.

"Um-"
