If wewe haven't read my Authors update makala yet, please do! (: And dont worry! Im working on the inayofuata book right now. And whether i post it au not, is up to wewe all!


Chapter 28: Hush

I lay in kitanda the inayofuata morning thinking about yesterdays events. I wondered why my parents havn't mentioned the volturi's soon to be visit. Maybe they didn't know that I knew about it and they were trying to spare me the unessascary stress. On the other hand, Carlisle might not have even told my parents yet. That was if Aro had tooken my advice and made the call to Carlisle.


An then there was the whole Jacob situation. I knew my family wouldn't agree with my notion to keep it a secret and to be honest I had no legitimate reason. Well.. other then the long history of Jacobs overreactions but I doubted that would suffice.

I pondered the thought as I got ready. I turned to the mirror, brushing my hair smooth. I stared at my reflection for a moment. It really was nice being me again, and I was sure I wasn't the only one who would agree.

I put my brush back in the drawer and walked out into the living room. I was surpised to see it so vacant. Usualy it was occupied with people, but nobody filled it.

Suddenly a voice popped out from behind me "Boo!"
I jumped, whipping around to see who it was. There stood my Uncle Emette howling with laughter. I glared at him.

"Har. har. very funny Emette.."

"You should have seen your face!" He teased

I smiled back, rolling my eyes. "Do wewe need somthing?"

"Yeah, Your parents told me to come get you"

"Is everything alright?"

He shrugged "Carlisle seems pretty calm"

I nodded. Grabbing my phone off the table, I followed Emette out into his car. It didn't take us long to get to Carlisle's house. When i went in I was glad to find no werewolfs, this would give me the oppourtunity to ask carlisle about the Volturi.

Although I soon noticed that it wouldn't be nessacary. It seemed as if the subject was being brought up on it's own.

"Goodmorning Renesmee" My mother said, smiling while hugging me. I smiled back and tuned to face the others.

" I got a call from Aro" Carlisle started, adressing zaidi my parents then the family. He turned his attention to the others now. "They heard about Renesmee's.. experince. So they decided to come ivestigate it.."

My fathers head flashed up. "Were not letting them near her!"

"Now Edward, their only doing their job.." Carlisle alisema soothingly.

"They could have killed her!" Rosalie exclaimed.
I could see that not all had forgiven the Volturi for their actions.

"Rose" I smiled "Im fine.. Now anyways. This wasn't an act of the Volturi" I emphasized the notion as I had before.

"But what if-" Alice started to protest. I turned to her and Jasper

"This was the act of Alec, one of the guards. Just one person."

The room fell silent as my words sunk in. I could tell some people were confused of the way i still spoke of the Volturi. They may be portrayed as a bad thing but i was apart of them. And yes, they did do some things that I don't agree with, but ujumla, jumla I still respect them despite hivi karibuni events.

I knew Carlisle understood zaidi then the others, it made me feel zaidi certain about my new found respect.

"How long do we have?" My mother asked suddenly

"Until tomorow" Carlisle stated

My mother shot a look at my father. He squeezed her hand lightly. I don't blame her for being worried but it felt unessacary, I guess they won't understand until they see it.

"Bella, dear. As long as we compromise we have nothing to worry about." Esme assured her.

"I guess I should call Jacob, he wont be happy about this.." My mother said, turning to the phone.

"Well, he doesn't have to know.." I suggested quickly.

Everybody turned silent, the room felt eerie. It seemed as if they had gasped as well. The over-reaction was quite amusing. Everyone froze in place, my mothers arm half streched out.

"Are wewe suggesting we hide this from the wolves?" I heard My father ask slowly.

I looked up bewildered kwa their reaction. "You all make it seem like I asked wewe to kill somebody..."

"It's just that we've never hidden anything from them.. Not since wewe were born at least.." My mother responded.

I looked at everyones frozen expressions. " I thought it may be more.. Practicle if they weren't to know. The volturi would come, do what they need to do and leave. Nobody knows, nobody gets hurt.."

Rosalie took a breath, "I think she is onto somthing. If they were to be there.."

"..Jacob does tend to overreact" My mother slowly agreed.

I faced Alice "Not to mention, without the mtu-bweha there Alice could be helpful."

I saw her face light up as i brought it up. With the Mbwa mwitu loups around so much it's been hard for her too see the future, making her feel quite useless..I knew this was just the opourtunity she would be waiting for. I felt bad manipulating her wants to help my argument... but i had to do what i had to do.

"Well, I dont know about all of you" Alice said, smiling. "But i agree with Renesmee"

" I guess it would be helpful to have Alice again..." My father slowly caved.

It was nice to have somthing actualy go as planned. Usualy i enter these conversations with a motive, and that motive is quickly shutdown.

The hardest part now would be keeping it from Jacob. He can usualy tell when im lieing, which will make it that much harder. Avoiding him would just make him suspicious, so i guess i'll have to keep my mouth shut.

"Speak of the devil..." Carlisle said, and not moments after Jacob and Seth walked through the door.

I guess i should've expected him to onyesha up sooner au later. Carlisle went up to his office, My father and Alice continued a game of chess (Which i saw no point of them playing.. Alice could see which moves he would make, and then my father would read her mind. Not many peices are really moved during the match.) And the rest were perched kwa the kitanda watching some sports program.

They were good at playing a charade. I hadn't moved an inch though, i stood still in the spot i was before, watching the sudden action that moved around me. I felt as if I should be doing somthing aswell, but I was too caught up in my thoughts at the moment...

"Nessie..? Hello?"

My head flashed up at the sound of my name.

" Oh , hujambo Jake!"

I smiled as he pulled me in and hugged me.

"Hey Edward, wewe winning?" Seth called up at him and Alice.

"As always" He alisema with a smile

"Oh please," Alice grumbled " wewe can only hear what i want wewe to. But me, I can see whatever i want, Well.. that was until wewe started talking to seth.. Oh darn!"

"Hey! Alice! Keep it down, im trying to watch a game" Emette laughed. She stuck her tounge out playfully at him.

They all seemed so calm, as if that conversation never happened. I only wished I was able to play it as cool as that.

I focused my attention back on Jacob.

"So what do wewe want to do today Nessie?"

I shrugged "Cliffdiving?" .

His face turned hard. "Abosolutly not! I just got wewe off your death bed, do wewe think -"

I smiled "Jake, Im kidding!"

He let out a quick sigh of relife. Wait a minute.. A whole siku with Jacob? I don't think a could lie to him for that long.. Well really it's not lieing.. it's just not giving him information. I looked back at him for a moment.

His eyes were anxious, i could tell he really wanted to be with me, but was it really worth the risk?

" I don't know If I can go out today..."

"Is somthing wrong Renesmee?" He asked slowly, his eyes fearful.

I paused for a moment. It seemed as if the whole room had to, holding their breath. Like everyone had froze.

"No.." I alisema shaking my head, i smiled "No nothings wrong.. Im just a little tired"

"Oh, come on Nessie! Please.."

I sighed. I hated giving In, but it was for Jacob. "Fine. As long as it's alright with my parents.."

I was hoping they would throw me a line, make up some excuse and get me out.

" Go have fun Renesmee" My mother said, allowing me to leave.

Nice helping me out there. Now every excuse of escaping was gone.

Jacob smiled "Thanks, Bells!"

Ya. Thanks, mom.

He already pulled me halfway out the door before I realised we were even leaving. I noticed his car parked in the driveway. He must've been expecting me to be able to go.. At least he wasn't suspicious about anything.. He pulled me anxiously to the car.

"A little anxious? " I smiled as i got in.

He slid into the drivers seat. "You have no idea.."

The car started to move, passing kwa the amounts of green that covered the small town of forks. I stared out the window watching as each building passed by. It wasn't just until now I realised everything I have is going to be gone someday..
The people I know, the places I've been. It will all dissapear.

I Knew it would be hard, having to stand-by in who knows where watching everyone I know pass away before my eyes while I stay frozen for eterinty. But this is my life.. And maybe that's why I hadn't really tied any close relationships with those not like myself au Jacob.

Why is hello always easier then goodbye?

"Renesmee?" Jacob asked after a few moments.

I stayed watching the road pass beneath me

"Mmhm?"

"That night when I found wewe - When wewe were.."

His voice shook as he spoke, like he had been recalling memories that he didn't want to vision.
A chill ran up my spine as i thought of that night, only days zamani when i had been dead. I was glad that I couldn't see, that i could only hear. Although the cries of distress that each of my family showed were just as painful.

I turned my attention towards him now "Dead?" I asked quietly, finishing his sentence.

He flinched at the word he wanted to avoid. It seemed as if he couldn't speak for a moment, i watched silently as his hands shook on the wheel. He took a breath, steadying himself;

"Renesmee, I'm so afraid im going to lose you. I was lucky that time.. but what if there isn't a inayofuata time! What if-?"

I placed my hand lightly on his for a moment. "Jake" I pulled my hand back when he fell silent. "I'm not going anywhere. Im staying right here, with you."

I saw him smile a bit, although i knew he didn't see any confidence in my words. His smile slowly faded back to his anxious stare.

"Nessie, I'm not risking anything ever again. And i promise to keep wewe safe, but im asking wewe to at least meet me halfway and let me know if there is ever anything. Danger, visitors - anything."

I stared at my feet for a moment, avoiding his eyes. I couldn't find words, I felt so guilty now. But I made a promise to my family that I wouldn't tell the wolves, and I had to keep that promise. I felt sick to my stomach, words couldn't escape my mouth. I swallowed hard, trying to keep my voice even.

"I will, Jacob."

"Well, enough with the heavy stuff then!" He laughed as we pulled into his driveway. "How about we-"

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. "Hold that thought" I said, slipping my phone out. It was my parents "I have to take this, one minute" I smiled.

"Is everything alright?"

"Not quite.. Are wewe with Jacob?"

I got out of the car with him, closing the door. "Yes, why?"
"Okay, don't react right away... smile"

I smiled and nodded "Yes"

"Okay, that shouldnt worry him quite off the bat."

I kept my casual stance for as long as i could. But panic stared to rise inside of me. Jaocb was getting suspicious as i listened carefully to the call.

"Seth heard Carlisle and me discussing tomorows ...events"

I did everything I could to keep smiling and refrain from gasping.

"He just left, no doubt to tell Jacob.. I suggest wewe let him know before seth does..he may take it better.."

I sighed "Okay, Thanks. bye"

"Bye Renesmee"

I slipped the phone back in my pocket. Even though i tried to wear a smile, I knew Jacob saw right through it.

"What's wrong Nessie?" Urgency crossed his face as we walked up to the door of his house.
"We need to talk, privately.."

And prefrebly not in close proximaty of breakable things...

We started walking towards the beach, standing kwa the rocks off the edge of it. Afternoon sun glazed the air as i turned to face him.

"Nessie?"

"Jacob, don't freak out. Okay?"

Maybe that wasn't the best way to start it. His body turned rigid, his eyes the slightest bit darker as he froze in place. "What's wrong?" He asked slowly.

I took a breath. "The volturi found out about my un-transformation.."

A low growl built up in his chest when i mentioned the name, i ignored it and continued. "They want to come here and see it for themselves"

"Absolutely Not!" He growled "They are not getting anywhere near you! NO!"

His hands were balled up to fists at his sides. He was shaking lightly, quivering with anger.

"Jacob, We have no control over this.. Anyways nothing will happen. They will just examine, ask a few maswali and then leave. Nothing to get worked up over.."

His voice grew louder, annoyed with my acceptence.

"Nothing? Renesmee! These were the people almost killed you! Who did Ki-"

"Jacob.." I whispered

"..and wewe expect me to just invite them to be around wewe like their good friends? No! I will not allow it!"

"Jacob" I alisema quietly once zaidi in attempt to calm him down. "We can't change it. Their coming"

He closed his eyes and took a breath, steadying himself. "When?"

"Jacob I - I dont think wewe should come.."

He slowly opened his eyes "What?"

"I just don't think it will be safe.." He made a face in reaction to me challenging his restraint. "For either of you" I corrected.

He took my hand "Nessie, I can't sit at nyumbani waiting to see if you'll be alive.."

I sighed. "Well if your dead set on the idea that their going to kill me again." He flinched at the truth in the words "Then I guess wewe can come"

He laughed "I wouldn't need your permisson...But thanks."

I sighed "I know.."

He took my face between his hands, looking at me for a moment.

"Renesmee, wewe mean the world to me. wewe are my world now, and thats NEVER going to change. I cant live without you. I upendo wewe so much, zaidi then wewe can imagine. Don't wewe ever forget that"

He pulled me in and kissed me. Everything felt so right, perfect. In this moment here there was no mtu-bweha au Vampires. No sadistic people trying to kill me. Just Jacob and Renesmee.

As we walked into his house, I noticed my Grandfathers Police cruiser out in the front. I hadn't seen charlie in months! I felt bad neglecting him for so long.. i guess i had just been caught up in dieing.. I laughed quietly at the thought. I trailed behind Jacob into the living room. And just as I thought there sat beside billy, my grandfather.

"Grampa Charlie!" I exclaimed as we entered the room.

"Renesmee!" He alisema walking towards me. He pulled me into an embrace holding me for a moment.
Being his only granchild i think i shouldn't neglect him so much. But it was easier being around Charlie now, considering he knows everything. At first he only wanted to know the public story, but my parents explained it all a few years ago.

Although he tries to not mention things like "Werewolf" au "Vampire". If were talking he'll refer to them as one of Bella au one of Jacob. It's quite funny, really.

As soon as charlie let go, Jacob put his hand back into mine and pulled me closer to him. I could tell he wasn't ever going to get over this protective stage. Charlie watched accusingly and grumbled.

"First my daughter, now my grandaughter? Geese Jacob. Your trying to take them all away from me..How old are wewe now anyways? 30?"

Jake laughed "Age is just a number"

"I guess in your case.." Charlie grimaced "You havn't aged a siku since wewe were 16.. It's weird."

"Look pretty good for 30-somthing, dont i?"
Charlie sighed "And this is why I like Renesmee.. at least wewe age!"

I smiled "Only for a few zaidi years then-"

"Lalalala" He alisema while jokingly plugging his ears. "I don't want to know."

I laughed, "Then i guess wewe don't want to hear about- "

Jacob dragged me to his room smiling "Come on Nessie - don't confuse the old man anymore.."

"Hey! who are wewe calling old?" I heard charlie joke back.

We spent the inayofuata couple hours discussing tomorows events. Jacob had agreed that him and any other werewolf present wasn't allowed to phase during the visit, if there was no threat posed, of course.

But only as long as I agreed to not do anything stupid. Which was included, but not limited to;
1. Leaving with the volturi
2 .Being in a "DANGEROUS" proximity of them.
3 .Participating in any dangerous activities.
4 ."Attempting" to stop a fight.
and last but not least ,
5 .Leaving Jacobs side


As wewe can tell these were developed kwa Jacob, but i decided i would give him some peice of mind and listen. He brought me nyumbani around 10'oclock. He walked inside, greeting my parents. They started to discuss tomorow, somtimes the conversation got a little out of hand, But nothing that couldn't be handled.

I looked at the clock, it was already 10 to 11. I thought i should get some sleep for tomorow. I stood up quietly. "Im going to get some rest now, Goodnight"

I hugged my mother

"Goodnight Renesmee" My mother smiled

"Night, sweetie" My father said

Jacob pulled me into a hug and then kissed my cheek "Sleep well, Nessie"

I smiled and went into my room. I carefully unbuttoned my shati and put it in the laundry hamper. I slipped of my pants, and did the same. I opened one of my drawers getting out a pair of flannal pajayma bottoms and a t-shirt. I walked into my bathroom, brushed my teeth and changed. I carefully bunched my mass of curls up into a bun and went back into my bedroom.

I switched off the light, and laid down in my warm, soft bed. It felt nice getting some sleep, it seemed as if i hadn't gotten much all summer. I wasn't looking foward to tomorow, yet i wasn't quite dreading it. It was just an unavoidable thing that was going to happen and i would just have to deal with it.

As the night passed kwa I slowly faded Into darkness once more. This darkness was comforting, because I knew In the end I would awake once more. As the sun sets, I prepare for solitude and what is to come during the darkness. And when the sun rises once more, I hesitate in my movements. As a smart man once alisema ;

If wewe reveal your secrets to the wind wewe should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.

The Begining.
