truth�察�and when I am not。; With frightened eyes he moved closer to his mate�察�waiting for Aro's reaction。
;Do not fear us�察�friend Charles。 No doubt the patriot truly believes what he says�察─�Aro chuckled lightly�察�
and Charles's eyes narrowed。
;That is our witness�察─�Makenna said。 ;We're leaving now。;
She and Charles backed away slowly�察�not turning before they were lost from view in the trees。 One
other stranger began to retreat the same way�察�then three more darted after him。

I evaluated the thirty´seven vampires that stayed。 A few of them appeared just too confused to make the
decision。 But the majority of them seemed only too aware of the direction this confrontation had taken。 I
guessed that they were giving up a head start in favor of knowing exactly who would be chasing after
them。
I was sure Aro saw the same thing I did。 He turned away�察�walking back to his guard with a measured
pace。 He stopped in front of them and addressed them in a clear voice。
;We are outnumbered�察�dearest ones�察─�he said。 ;We can expect no outside help。 Should we leave this
question undecided to save ourselves�拭─�
;No�察�master�察─�they whispered in unison。
;Is the protection of our world worth perhaps the loss of some of our number�拭─�
;Yes�察─�they breathed。 ;We are not afraid。;
Aro smiled and turned to his black´clad companions。
;Brothers�察─�Aro said somberly�察 �there is much to consider here。;
;Let us counsel�察─�Caius said eagerly。
;Let us counsel�察─�Marcus repeated in an uninterested tone。
Aro turned his back to us again�察�facing the other ancients。 They joined hands to form a black´shrouded
triangle。
As soon as Aro's attention was engaged in the silent counsel�察�two more of their witnesses disappeared
silently into the forest。 I hoped�察�for their sakes�察�that they were fast。
This was it。 Carefully�察�I loosened Renesmee's arms from my neck。
;You remember what I told you�拭─�
Tears welled in her eyes�察�but she nodded。 ;I love you�察─�she whispered。
Edward was watching us now�察�his topaz eyes wide。 Jacob stared at us from the corner of his big dark
eye。
;I love you�察�too�察─�I said�察�and then I touched her locket。 ;More than my own life。; I kissed her forehead。
Jacob whined uneasily。
I stretched up on my toes and whispered into his ear。 ;Wait until they're totally distracted�察�then run with
her。 Get as far from this place as you possibly can。 When you've gone as far as you can on foot�察�she has
what you need to get you in the air。;
Edward's and Jacob's faces were almost identical masks of horror�察�despite the fact that one of them was
an animal。

Renesmee reached for Edward�察�and he took her in his arms。 They hugged each other tightly。
;This is what you kept from me�拭─�he whispered over her head。
;From Aro�察─�I breathed。
;Alice�拭─�
I nodded。
His face twisted with understanding and pain。 Had that been the expression on my face when I'd finally
put together Alice's clues�拭�
Jacob was growling quietly�察�a low rasp that was as even and unbroken as a purr。 His hackles were stiff
and his
teeth exposed。
Edward kissed Renesmee's forehead and both her cheeks�察�then he lifted her to Jacob's shoulder。 She
scrambled agilely onto his back�察�pulling herself into place with handfuls of his fur�察�and fit herself easily into
the dip between his massive shoulder blades。
Jacob turned to me�察�his expressive eyes full of agony�察�the rumbling growl still grating through his chest。
;You're the only one we could ever trust her with�察─�I murmured to him。 ;If you didn't love her so much�察�I
could never bear this。 I know you can protect her�察�Jacob。;
He whined again�察�and dipped his head to butt it against my shoulder。
;I know�察─�I whispered。 ;I love you�察�too�察�Jake。 You'll always be my best man。;
A tear the size of a baseball rolled into the russet fur beneath his eye。
Edward leaned his head against the same shoulder where he'd placed Renesmee。 ;Goodbye�察�Jacob�察�my
brother。。。 my son。;
The others were not oblivious to the farewell scene。 Their eyes were locked on the silent black triangle�察�
but I could tell they were listening。
;Is there no hope�察�then�拭─�Carlisle whispered。 There was no fear in his voice。 Just determination and
acceptance。
;There is absolutely hope�察─�I murmured back。 It could be true�察�I told myself。 ;I only know my own
fate。;
Edward took my hand。 He knew that he was included。 When I said my fate�察�there was no question that
I meant the two of us。 We were just halves of the whole。
Esme's breath was ragged behind me。 She moved past us�察�touching our faces as she passed�察�to stand
beside Carlisle and hold his hand。

Suddenly�察�we were surrounded by murmured goodbyes and I love you's。
;If we live through this�察─�Garrett whispered to Kate�察 �I'll follow you anywhere�察�woman。;
;Now he tells me�察─�she muttered。
Rosalie and Emmett kissed quickly but passionately。
Tia caressed Benjamin's face。 He smiled back cheerfully�察�catching her hand and holding it against his
cheek。
I didn't see all the expressions of love and pain。 I was distracted by a sudden fluttering pressure against
the outside of my shield。 I couldn't tell where it came from�察�but it felt like it was directed at the edges of
our group�察�Siobhan and Liam particularly。 The pressure did no damage�察�and then it was gone。
There was no change in the silent�察�still forms of the counseling ancients。 But perhaps there was some
signal I'd missed。
;Get ready�察─�I whispered to the others。 ;It's starting。;
38。 POWER
;Chelsea is trying to break our bindings�察─�Edward whispered。 ;But she can't find them。 She can't feel us
here。 。 。 。; His eyes cut to me。 ;Are you doing that�拭─�
I smiled grimly at him。 ;I am all over this。;
Edward lurched away from me suddenly�察�his hand reaching out toward Carlisle。 At the same time�察�I felt
a much sharper jab against the shield where it wrapped protectively around Carlisle's light。 It wasn't
painful�察�but it wasn't pleasant�察�either。
;Carlisle�拭�Are you all right�拭─�Edward gasped frantically。
;Yes。 Why�拭─�
;Jane�察─�Edward answered。
The moment that he said her name�察�a dozen pointed attacks hit in a second�察�stabbing all over the elastic
shield�察�aimed at twelve different bright spots。 I flexed�察�making sure the shield was undamaged。 It didn't
seem like Jane had been able to pierce it。 I glanced around quickly�察�everyone was fine。
;Incredible�察─�Edward said。
;Why aren't they waiting for the decision�拭─�Tanya hissed。
;Normal procedure�察─�Edward answered brusquely。 ;They usually incapacitate those on trial so they can't
escape。;
I looked across at Jane�察�who was staring at our group with furious disbelief。 I was pretty sure that�察�
besides me�察�she'd never seen anyone remain standing through her fiery assault。

It probably wasn't very mature。 But I figured it would take Aro about half a second to guess!if he
hadn't already!that my shield was more powerful than Edward had known�察�I already had a big target on
my forehead and there was really no point in trying to keep the extent of what I could do a secret。 So I
grinned a huge�察�smug smile right
at Jane。
Her eyes narrowed�察�and I felt another stab of pressure�察�this time directed at me。
I pulled my lips wider�察�showing my teeth。
Jane let out a high´pitched scream of a snarl。 Everyone jumped�察�even the disciplined guard。 Everyone
but the ancients�察�who didn't so much as look up from their conference。 Her twin caught her arm as she
crouched to spring。
The Romanians started chuckling with dark anticipation。
;I told you this was our time�察─�Vladimir said to Stefan。
;Just look at the witch's face�察─�Stefan chortled。
Alec patted his sister's shoulder soothingly�察�then tucked her under his arm。 He turned his face to us�察�
perfectly smooth�察�completely angelic。
I waited for some pressure�察�some sign of his attack�察�but I felt nothing。 He continued to stare in our
direction�察�his pretty face composed。 Was he attacking�拭�Was he getting through my shield�拭�Was I the only
one who could still see him�拭�I clutched at Edward's hand。
;Are you okay�拭─�I choked out。
;Yes�察─�he whispered。
;Is Alec trying�拭─�
Edward nodded。 ;His gift is slower than Jane's。 It creeps。 It will touch us in a few seconds。;
I saw it then�察�when I had a clue of what to look for。
A strange clear haze was oozing across the snow�察�nearly invisible against the white。 It reminded me of a
mirage!a slight warping of the view�察�a hint of a shimmer。 I pushed my shield out from Carlisle and the
rest of the front line�察�afraid to have the slinking mist too close when it hit。 What if it stole right through my
intangible protection�拭�Should we run�拭�
A low rumbling murmured through the ground under our feet�察�and a gust of wind blew the snow into
sudden flurries between our position and the Voituri's。 Benjamin had seen the creeping threat�察�too�察�and
now he tried to blow the mist away from us。 The snow made it easy to see where he threw the wind�察�but
the mist didn't react in any way。 It was like air blowing harmlessly through a shadow�察�the shadow was
immune。
The triangular formation of the ancients finally broke apart when�察�with a racking groan�察�a deep�察�narrow
