Dark Awakenings - after Breaking Dawn (Twilight)

Justice

Edward spend most of his days either working or playing his beloved piano, he had wrote spine tingling melodies which reeked pain and sorrow. His nights hunting and flicking through albums Alice had put together over the years since that day in Forks that he saw Bella for the first time. Their moments together all to precious to him now, he was afraid he would forget what she looked like, her overpowering scent that drove him wild.
He smiled to himself as he closed the album of their wedding. He swore he thought she would throw up whilst Charlie led her up that aisle. She looked petrified.
Slipping the album back into its slot on the straining bookshelf. He heaved a sigh. Pressing play on his stereo he laid down on his bed...their bed. Not to sleep but somehow he felt nearer to her when hugging her pillow. Claire de Lune filled the air.
It was then he felt her presence, the breeze gently blew the netted fabric of the curtain. Now ..Breathing in deep...he could smell her...her enchanting scent. All in his mind of course, but he heard her say, as she always did. It wasn't his fault, she forgave him. To let her go....to take care of their daughter.
His mind was interrupted by louder voices in his head. It was the family preparing for the evenings hunt. He suddenly felt his thirst. He couldn't remember the last time he'd actually felt an appetite.
That was the moment he let Bella die..her memory still present but he knew he had to let go now. Now he needed revenge.

2 human weeks had passed till he heard from Jacob again. The Pack had come across yet another newborn clan deep within the Trymed Forest. More plans were made, same as before Leah stayed with Renesmee.
On their arrival as predicted they were greeted by 6 newborns, no introductions were made as the family set about dismembering them one by one.
One, who was hiding in a dark cove caught the eye of Esme and Carlisle. They had a feeling they hadn't felt for a long time. This newborn was different. A female, who looked about 20 human years. After exchanging looks they knew exactly what they had to do.
As they scooped up the young female. Edward caught a scent on the breeze ...it was HIS...he had finally caught up with that monster.
Alice yelled "Edward! Its him!"
The rage spilled out of Edward in a ear splitting growl. "He's MINE!"
"Esme take her away!" Carlisle yelled. Esme knew Edward needed his help and shot away with the young scared newborn.
This male was quick, but Edward had no intentions of letting him escape.
"AWWW ...here's hubby...keen to join your mate are you? I soooo enjoyed tearing off her head, although she was a pretty one, I could see why you chose her! wouldn't have minded that one for myself?!"
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr" Edward pounced. He was strong but with the other newborns dispensed with, he was outnumbered. A long powerful struggle ensued and as soon as Edward got the chance he ended it. His yell carried miles....and scared the bats from the trees. The wolves howled in celebration...they had found and killed the evil one who had caused pain upon the whole group.
It was only then Edward saw the female. "Who is she?" He spat at Carlisle.
"She's different from them, can't you feel it?" Esme answered softly standing in between him and the newborn.
"My senses are rather preoccupied right now!" He growled
"She will not be harmed, she can be tamed" Carlisle said sternly.
With another loud growl, Edward ran as fast as his Human legs could carry him, north...towards home.
Renesmee ran to greet at him at the door "it's over!" She said with relief in her voice and with tears in her eyes.
"Yes" he nodded with tears in his own too. That embrace said a thousand unsaid words to them both.
"Glad it finally over Edward" Leah said joining them sensing his presence back from the hunt.
"Thank you for taking care of her " Edward replied.
"Always a pleasure" she smiled
The cheers and whoops were now audible as the Pack and family ran home.
"Wait? Who's with them?" Renesmee said looking puzzled. Leah instinctively stepped closer to Renesmee.
"It's ok Leah..." He said holding up a reassuring hand. "It's a newborn Grandma and Grandda know can be tamed. My senses were confused there, but now I know Renesmee is in no danger. We will make sure she's safe. And the newborn watched."
"Sam is injured..I have to go." Leah hugged Renesmee and was off into the darkness.
"Come on ...inside" he said leading her indoors. He handed her a drink of milk as the others arrived home. Instinctively he cringed and moved closer to Renesmee as the newborn scent drifted up inside his nasal passages.
"It's ok Dad...I sense no danger." She tried to reassure him. But he no longer took any chances when his daughter was concerned.
Bringing her inside Carlisle and Esme stood close, half to protect her and half to be on guard incase she leapt for their granddaughter.

"Edward....Renesmee?...this is Mari (pronounced Mah-ree) she is one of us now. Mari, is willing to change her choice of blood. We will all treat her kindly while she resides in this house. Do I make myself clear?" Esme glanced around the room at everyone and lingered on Edward.
"Just keep her away from me and Renesmee!" He spat.
"We will ensure Renesmee is kept safe at all times Edward. Jacob has arrived to collect her now" Carlisle acknowledged Edwards concern.
"Come Mari, we have some new fluids for you to feed on out the back." Esme led her away to get her started on her transformation.
"Why is she here?" Edward scowled at his father.
"She has no one Edward. She can be changed. She will cause no harm here." Carlisle tapped his shoulder to reassure him.
"You brought a newborn here?!!" Jacob boomed from the doorway.
"Jake, she's fine, she's like us. She means no harm" Renesmee ran over to calm her mate.
"You allowed this?" He spat at Edward.
Carlisle butted in. "She will cause no harm!"
"It wasn't my decision!" Edward growled back.
"Please ....don't fight!" Renesmee glared at them both.
"Take her home Jacob!" Carlisle ordered.
"Further away the better!" He spat "Come on Nessy! Let's go"
Renesmee returned to her fathers side "it will be fine Dad..I promise...I can feel it."
"I know...I just worry" he said pulling her close and placing a kiss on her forehead.
"It's over Dad, we can move on" she tenderly kissed his cheek and skipped back to a waiting Jacob. Then they were gone with a loud roar from the bike..
