Only Human

Chapter 8: New Clues

Bella's POV

Hearing that Alice an Jasper left us at time like this was very saddening. When we found out from Sam Esme began to dry sob, and everyone began to panic. Me and Edward had agreed in private and talked with the family that Amanda would be coming home with us along with Renesmee; than again she was staying with anyways.

We were now at the cabin, I was in Renesmee's room, she was growing so fast. She looked at least 9 now, she was growing so much in the last few months. Carlisle hasnt figured out when she will stop aging, considering she the only one of her kind. I was reading her a book, as I was reading I looked down at her I see she is asleep and quietly closed the book, about to stand when Renesmee startled me.

"Mom?"

"Yeah" I asked, turning around, to face her.

"Am I going to die?" her asking that, shocked me for a minute. I sat down next to her.

"Honey, no, why would you think that?" I asked

" Well, with everything happening, I just thought that something like that would happen to me or even Mandy." I cradled her in my arms, whispering to her.

"I wont let anything hurt you or your sister, I love you both so, so much. Now get some sleep and I'll see you in the morning, ok?" I said, kissing her head, her nodding, saying "I love you to, mom." and closed her eyes.

I walked out of the room and walked over to Amanda's room to see Edward cradling her, rocking from side to side, from the looks of it he was looking down at her; cooing at her, trying to get her to sleep.

I think he had from here, so I quietly walked out the room smiling at the little father daughter moment Edward and Amanda were just having. I went into the living room, I still had the paper Alice and Jasper left us, I was turning it around when saw writing on the back of it. It looked familiar, I instantly knew were it had came from, I got off the couch and zoomed to the bookshelf and snatched the Merchant of Venice book. Opening it to see a page riped out, turning to the next one I saw more writing.

'Burn this'

Their was also a name and an address to Seattle, when I heard footsteps come in I quickly ripped the sheet up an tossed the book into the fire; right when Edward came in. He pulled me to him on the couch.

"Why did you burn the book?" he whispered into my hair.

"She was here." I said, not answering his question.

"Who?" he asked

"Alice."

"Why?"

"I dont know." I lied, I was the only one who could lie to Edward. Maybe thats what Alice wanted me to do.

"I dont understand why you burned the book though." he said, with a little agitation in his voice.

" It was appropriate. " I finally said, he didnt say anything else.

"How did it go with getting Amanda to sleep?" I asked, changing the subject.

He chuckled, " Fine, took 10 minutes but I got her to sleep."

"We have two beautiful girls, a nice home, a herd of menacing vampires who dont care about anything... how did we get so lucky?" I asked Edward sarcastically, laughing in the end, kissing him on the lips.

"I dont now, but im glad were all here." He smiled, kissing me again.

"You know, havnt had any time to ourselves in a while." I smiled.

"And what are implying we do?" He asked, kissing my shoulder.

I whispered something in his ear, making him chuckle and kiss my fourhead.

"I'll get the bath ready." he said, standing up and heading the bedroom, I than turn him turn on the bath water.

Hope you all enjoy, sorry for late update.
