Chapter Five 

Five Years Later...

Justin pushed gently pulled Renesmee forward. She held tightly to his hand. Carita was holding tightly to her mother. Chelsea was running behind her mother with her brother at her side. William was gently pushing Chelsea and Colton to move faster as he looked over his shoulder. 

"Mom? How much longer?" Chelsea asked taking deep breaths as they hid along the trees of Italy's wilderness. 

All of them stopped and Renesmee placed her free hand on her daughter's cheek before she then took out her daughter's inhaler. Chelsea took it and breathed in the air. William and Justin were looking around, making sure that no one was around them. If they kept stopping, Joham was going to catch up to them and there was no way that they would ever see the light of day again if he did. 

"Take deep breaths, sweetheart." Renesmee told her. 

"I know that you can't help yourself, Chelsea, but we all can't keep stopping!" Justin told them as he took Carita in his arms from Renesmee.

Carita laid her head on her father's shoulder. Justin kissed her head and held her tighter in the cold night air. Renesmee looked at him and William said, "I hate to admit it, but Justin's right. They almost caught us in the ocean." 

Chelsea took the inhaler from her mouth, tears in her eyes. 

"I'm sorry." Chelsea whispered, "just leave me behind." 

"Don't be stupid, Chelsea." Justin told her. 

"Your father's right." Renesmee told her daughter.

Renesmee took the inhaler from her daughter and placed it in her coat pocket again. She folded her arms around her daughter and kissed her forehead, "you've been running way too much. I'm surprised that you haven't fainted or threw up yet."  

"We need to hurry." William said. 

"I'll go with her. You all run ahead. Get to the Volturi and give Aro your hand. They will help us." Renesmee told them. 

"I'm not leaving you." Justin growled at the idea. 

"We're sticking together." William confirmed to his friend. 

Renesmee unwrapped her arms around her eldest daughter before Colton came up to them. He put his back to them and hunched over. 

"I'll carry her. Chel, get on." Colton told his little sister.

Chelsea carefully climbed on his back. Colton stood up straight with his arms hooked under his sister's legs. Chelsea hugged his neck as everyone froze to listen to bushes as a smell crept up into their noses.

Renesmee looked at William. He had the best hearing of all of them. 

"It's them!" William said, "I can't tell if Joham's with them, but it's them." 

"Volturia is only a couple of miles. The instant we get into the city, it won't be long until the guards find us." Renesmee told them. 

"Come on!" Justin told them as he grabbed Renesmee's hand.

All of them began running again. William was last, making sure that the kids and his friends were in front of him. Justin held Renesmee's hand tightly as Carita hugged his neck. As they ran up a hill, they could already see the lights from the city. They were almost there.
