Horror Visions

[Alice Cullen]

Alice smiled as she finished the flower arrangement she'd been working on as the family chatted in the living area. Much talk of the approaching holidays in such short months, the trip to Rio for answers on little Renesmee. When she saw it. An army, an army of cloaked vampires. Black robes, lines of many...they were coming. The Volturi. They had been informed that Renesmee was an immortal child. The vase slipped from her hands at the horror she saw of the outcome. Glass shattering as it made contact with the floor. All eyes were on her. There were no words yet to explain the terror, despair and agony that shows itself before her "The Volturi are coming....they think Renesmee is an immortal child. Aro's decided. We all die."

[Bella Cullen]

Bella watched as Renesmee played with her toys on the carpeted floor of the Cullen home. The day had been ragged. They were loving their cottage and the privacy that came with it...early evenings were spent with family. Alice was fiddling with a flower arrangement as she stopped stared into space and time seemed to stop. The vase slipped from her hand which, was nearly impossible for a vampire to drop something.

"Alice, what is it?" She heard Edward ask as he stopped playing the piano. The silent conversation between them was almost too much, then....she said it. The Volturi...they were coming. For Renesmee....for them all. She stood and looked panicky.

"What..why?!" Edward explained that they believed her to be an immortal child. "She's NOT! She has a heart beat...she was born, NOT bitten. I won't let them touch her!" She said as she looked at her daughter with worry.

[Nessa]

-she didn't like how the atmosphere had changed; she could instantly tell that something wasn't right. She felt her Mama's gaze on her and stood, walking quickly over to her; she reached up and gently cupped her Mama's face, asking her in her own special way what was wrong-

[Jasper Hale]

*I could instantly feel the entire room shift into a state of panic and worry. I was too caught up in it with my own feelings for Nessie to even try to calm everyone down. I start to think about what they could do to stop this. I grab a hold of Alice and try to concentrate on relaxing everyone.*

[Alice Cullen]

Jasper's touch had the same loving calming effect that it always does "Yes .. Aro, Jane .. they are ALL coming!" She and Edward said in perfect union ".. but we have a little time still ..." Looking upon her family and the precious gift they'd blessed with, first Bella and then dearest Nessie her resolve strengthened. "They will be made to see her for the blessing and gift she is, we will NOT be taken down!" Praying these words would buy enough time to do what she needed she looked at each with a smile upon her face. Jasper would sense her unease, he might question it, but she hoped he would also gaze into her eyes and know that she knew what to do

[Rosalie Hale]

*I sat there and listened to Alice talk about her vision. They were coming for Nessie? If my heart still beat, it would have stopped at the thought of that beautiful child being harmed. They would kill her and us if they thought she was a immortal child. Standing I walk over to my niece that was still playing in the floor, she was special and she could tell something was wrong. Looking over at my brother I say "Edward. We can't let this happen! I will die first" I place a soft hand on the child's shoulder. "Bella?" I sat as I watched the faces of my family, all showing the same fear as me. I was looking for answers but it seemed as if no one had any*

[Bella Cullen]

She could feel Jasper's influence on the room, and felt it calm her just a little. But her worry still remained in her feelings. He couldn't take it all away. Edward was soon by her side, wrapping an arm around her waist as Rosalie rested a hand on her shoulder to comfort her. Renesmee looked alarmed and walked over to touch her cheek and ask in her own little way what was wrong. It had been months since her birth, winter soon approaching and she was now about the age of a toddler of five. It was the middle of November, as she looked from her daughter to Alice. "When? How long do we have?"

[Alice Cullen]

Gulping more air to speak, she and Edward together spoke as one "They are ALL coming!" Edward looked at her, but she couldn't see anything other than what lay before her, she felt Jasper's hold and tried to steady her voice before she continued. "Aro, Caius, Maicus, Jane, Alec, the member's of the guard, even the wives ..." Jasper argued "The wives NEVER leave the tower! Not during the Southern rebellion, when the Romanians stormed, not even when hunting the 'Immortal Children' ~ NEVER!" She heard shouts of "WHY?" "We've done nothing wrong?" Interrupting them as she tried to explain all, "Irina wanted them to decide. Aro's seen Irina's 'proof' in her thoughts, there's no trial for that crime, there is no reasoning with them ..." She felt Jasper's arms around her body as information flooded still "Aro knows about the alliance we have in place with the pack ..." Finally hearing Bella's Plea's of "WHEN?" ring through her head. "There's snow on the ground in the forest and in the town ... a month at the most .... maybe two."
