subtly into defensive poses between the newcomers and Renesmee. The vampires at the door were both slight and short, one dark-haired and the other with hair so ashy blond that it looked pale gray. They had nike air max 95 the same powdery look to their skin as the Volturi, though I thought it was not so pronounced. I couldn’t be sure about that, as I had never seen the Volturi except with human eyes; I could not make a perfect comparison. Their sharp, narrow eyes were dark burgundy, with no milky film. They wore very simple black clothes that could pass as modern but hinted at older designs. The dark one grinned when I came into view. “Well, well, Carlisle. You have been naughty, haven’t you?” “She’s not what you think, Stefan.” “And we don’t care either way,” the blonde responded. “As we said before.” “Then you’re welcome to observe, Vladimir, but it is definitely not our plan to challenge the Volturi, as we said before.” “Then we’lljust cross our fingers,” Stefan began. “And hope we get lucky,” finished Vladimir. In the end, we had pulled together seventeen witnesses—the Irish, Siobhan, Liam, and Maggie; the Egyptians, Amun, Kebi, Benjamin, and Tia; the Amazons, Zafrina and Senna; the Romanians, <a href="http://www.lagearsshoessale.com/"><strong>la gears</strong></a> Vladimir and Stefan; and the nomads, Charlotte and Peter, Garrett, Alistair, Mary, and Randall—to supplement our family of eleven. Tanya, Kate, Eleazar, and Carmen insisted on being counted as part of our family. Aside from the Volturi, it was probably the largest friendly gathering of mature v nike air max plus ampires in immortal history. We all were be nike shox nz ginning to be a little bit hopeful. Even I couldn’t help it.Renesmee had won over so many in such a brief time.The Volturi only had to listen for just the tiniest second___ The lasttwo surviving Romanians—focused only on their bitter resentment of the ones who had overthrown their empire fifteen hundred years earlier—took everything in stride. They would not touch Renesmee, but they showed no aversion to her. They seemed mysteriously delighted by our alliance with the werewolves.They watched me practice my shield with Zafrina and Kate, watched Edward answer unspoken questions, watched Benjaminpull geysers of water from the river or sharp gusts of wind from the still air with just his mind, and their eyes glowed with their fierce hope that the Volturi had finally met their match. We did not hope for the same things, but we all hoped. cheap nike air max 90 Page 365 Generatedby ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html 33. FORGERY “Charlie, we’ve still got that strictly need-to-know company situation going. I know it’s been more than a week since you saw Renesmee, but a visit is just not a good idea right now. How about I bring Renesmee over to see you?” Charlie was quiet for so long that I wondered if he heard the strain beneath my fagade. But then he muttered, “Need to know, ugh” and I realized it was just his wariness of the supernatural that made him slow to respond. “Okay, kid,” Charlie said. “Can you bring her over this morning? Sue’s bringing me lunch. She’s just as horrified by my cooking as you were when you first showed up.” Charlie laughed and then sighed for the old days. “This morning will be perfect.” The sooner the better. I’d already put this off too long. “Is Jake coming with you guys?” Though Charlie didn’t know anything about werewolf imprinting, no one could be oblivious to the attachment between Jacob and Renesmee. “Probably.” There was no way Jacob would voluntarily miss an afternoon with Renesmee sans bloodsuckers. “Maybe I should invite Billy, too,” Charlie mused. “But… hmm. Maybe another time.” I was only half paying attention to Charlie—enough to notice the strange reluctance in his voice when he spoke of Billy, but not enough to worry what that was about. Charlie and Billy were grown-ups; if there was something going on between them, they could figure it out for themselves. I had too many more important things to obsess over. “See nike air max 1 you in a few,” I told him, and hung up. This trip was about more than protecting my father from the twenty-seven oddly matched vampires —who all had sworn not to kill anyone in a three-hundred-mile radius, but still… Obviously, no human being should get anywhere near this group. This was the excuse I’d given Edward: I was taking Renesmee to Charlie so that he wouldn’t decide to come here. It was a good reason for leaving the house, but not my real reason at all. “Why can’t we take your Ferrari?” Jacob complained when <a href="http://www.lagearsshoessale.com/products_new.html"><strong>la gear sneakers</strong></a> he met me in the garage. I was already in Edward’s Volvo with Renesmee. Edward had gotten around to revealing my after car; as he’d suspected, I had no nike air max womens t been capable of showing the appropriate enthusiasm. Sure, it was pretty and fast, but I liked to run. “Too conspicuous,” I answered. “We could go on foot, but that would freak Charlie out.” Jacob grumbled but got into the front seat. Renesmee climbed from my lap to his. Page 366 Generatedby ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html “How are you?” I asked him as I pulled out of the garage. “How do you think?” Jacob asked bitingly. “I’m sick of all these reeking bloodsuckers.” He saw my expression and spoke before I could answer. “Yeah, I know, I know. They’re the good guys, they’re here to help, they’re going to save us all. Etcetera, etcetera. Say what you want, I still think Dracula One and Dracula Two are creep-tacular.” I had to smile. The Romanians weren’t my favorite guests, either. “I don’t disagree with you there.” Renesmee shook her head nike shox uk but said nothing; unlike the rest of us, she found the Romanians strangely fascinating. She’d made the effort to speak to them aloud since they would not let her touch them. Her question was about their unusual skin and, though I was afraid they might be offended, I was kind of glad she’d asked. I was curious, too. They hadn’t seemed upset by her interest. Maybe a little rueful. “We sat still for a ver nike air max 2003 y long time, child,” Vladimir had answered, with Stefan nodding along but not continuing Vladimir’s sentences as he often did. “Contemplating our own divinity. It was a sign of our power that everything came to us. Prey, diplomats, those seeking our favor. We sat on our thrones and thought ourselves gods. We didn’t notice for a long time that we were changing—almost petrifying. I suppose the Volturi did us one favor when they burned our castles. Stefan and I, at least, did not continue to petrify. Now the Volturi’s eyes are filmed with dusty scum, but ours are bright. I imagine that will give us an advantage when we gouge theirs from their sockets.” I tried to keep Renesmee away from them <a href="http://www.lagearsshoessale.com/"><strong>la lights shoes</strong></a> after that. “How long do we get nike air max 90 to hang out with Charlie?” Jacob asked, interrupting my thoughts. He was visibly relaxing as we pulled away from the house and all its new inmates. It made me happy that I didn’t really count as a vampire to him. I was still just Bella. “For quite a while, actually.” The tone of my voice caught his attention. “Is something going on here besides visiting your dad?” “Jake, you know how you’re pretty good at controlling your thoughts around Edward?” He raised one thick black brow. “Yeah?” I just nodded, cutting my eyes to Renesmee. She was looking out the window, and I couldn’t tell how interested she was in our conversation, but I decided not to risk going any further. Jacob waited for me to add something else, and then his lower lip pushed out while he thought about what little I’d said. As we drove in silence, I squinted through the annoying contacts into the cold rain; it wasn’t quite cold enough for snow. My eyes were not as ghoulish as they had been in the beginning—definitely closer to a Page 367 Generatedby ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html dull reddish orange than to bright crimson. Soon they’d be amber enough for me to quit the contacts, i hoped the change wouldn’t upset Charlie too much. Jacob was still chewing nike air max turnaround over our truncated conversation when we got to Charlie’ nike air max 2003 s. We didn’t talk as we walked at a quick human pace through the falling rain. My dad was waiting for us; he had the door open before I could knock. “Hey, guys! It seems like it’s been years! Look at you, Nessie! Come to Grampa! I swear you’ve grown half a foot. And you look skinny, Ness.” He glared at me. “Aren’t they feeding nike air max 90 current you up there?” “It’s just the growth spurt,” I muttered. “Hey, Sue,” I called over his shoulder. The smell of chicken, tomato, garlic, and cheese issued from the kitchen; it probably smelled good to everyone else. I could also smell fresh pine and packing dust. Renesmee flashed her dimples. She never spoke in front of Charlie. “Well, come on in out of the cold, kids. Where’s my son-in-law?” “Entertaining <a href="http://inbookmark.com/mybookmark.php"><strong>la gear on sale</strong></a> friends,” Jacob said, and then snorted. “You’re Cheap nike shox so lucky you’re out of the loop, Charlie. That’s all I’m going to say.” I punched Jacob lightly in the kidney while Charlie cringed. “Ow,” Jacob complained under his breath; well, I’d thought I’d punched lightly. “Actually, Charlie, I have some errands to run.” Jacob shot a glance at me but said nothing. “Behind on your Christmas shopping, Bells? You only have a few days, you know.” “Yeah, Christmas shopping,” I said lamely. That explained the packing dust. Charlie must have put the old decorations up. “Don’t worry, Nessie,” he whispered in her ear. “I got you covered if your mom drops the ball.” I rolled my eyes at him, but in truth, I hadn’t thought about the holidays at all. “Lunch’s on the table,” Sue called from the kitchen. “C’mon, guys.” “See you later, Dad,” I said, and exchanged a quick look with Jacob. Even if he couldn’t help but
