Renesmee: Shooting Stars (Sequel To Rising Sun) *COMPLETED* WATTY AWARDS 2012

Revenge? That's An Underestimation

Colby Thomas Black

She hissed as I pinned her against the wall of the room, my hands on her throat. I knew even half-vampires needed air. "Where is she?" I asked, my voice acidic.

She struggled under my grip but failed to escape, "I don't know!" she gasped.

I pressed my hand harder on her throat- sometimes when you're desperate, you do things you wouldn't think of- "Liar," I accused. That was when I smelled Frederick.

He yanked me away from her, "Hasn't anyone told you how to treat a lady?" he asked as he pinned me against the opposite wall the exact same way I pinned Lexi.

I growled, "Hasn't anyone told you not to mess with werewolves?" I asked as I pushed him away from me. I loved how I was equal in strength to a full vampire while I was in human form.

He crouched in front of her, blocking me. "Listen, mongrel, we do not have Sarah," he said, "I wouldn't have been here if we had."

I narrowed my eyes at him, "Let me rephrase then," I said, "Who was the leech in our room?"

He shrugged, "Je ne sais pas," he said. I think my glare suggested that I wanted him to talk in English, "I don't know," he translated.

I showed them what I smelt then, maybe he was telling the truth, maybe he would know and help. I had to cling to every tiny hope I had.

He frowned and straightened up, exchanged a meaningful glance with Lexi and then got back to me, "I do not know who that was."

And I could clearly tell he was lying. I began shaking quickly and I growled, balling my hands into fists, "Who is it?" I pressed, talking through clenched teeth.

Lexi moved from behind her "defender" and faced me, her arms crossed over her chest, "Let me make a deal with you," she offered.

I raised an eyebrow at her, "What kind of deal?" I asked.

Frederick looked clueless but she seemed to have something in mind, "Let me introduce myself properly," she said, "My real name is Jemma," she started, "My father is Demetri of the Volturi coven, and my mother was just a human who worked for them, Gianna-" she said it with so much emotion- "Your family knows me by my third name- Morgan Dean."

I stayed silent as she continued, "I would tell you the truth, why we're really here. I will tell you the deal itself later," she said, "Frederick and I were supposed to study you, to observe you," she explained and I knew it wasn't me, personally, that they were observing, "To know what your abilities can be. But, then, we knew something very important that we were sure was to change everything," she said, "We knew that Renesmee was pregnant with the wolf's kids-" obviously referring to Sarah and I- "It changed everything indeed..." she mumbled.

I raised my eyebrows, "So you're telling me this whole trip was arranged by the Volturi?" I guessed, "To get us?"

She smiled cunningly, "Who said the Volturi were involved?"

Oh shit.

I frowned, "Then who is?" I asked.

Her smile widened, her green eyes sparkling as she spoke, "It doesn't matter, now, does it?" she asked rhetorically, "Now, the deal is, we will help you get your sister back," she said, "But you'll have to help us with something else...Something we need."

I narrowed my eyes at her, "What is it?"

She exchanged another glance with Frederick before she looked back at me, "Destroy the Volturi."
