For a number of hours Bella and Jacob have been helping Ateara gain control of his gift and to see what else he could do. Whilst Edward was talking to Renesmee discussing further plans for when they face the volturi.
Later that morning everyone went hunting to regain and build their strength up for battle whilst Jacob took Renesmee to La Push trusting Ateara to be on his own and carry on training.
Ateara practiced his gifts all day and never grew tired nor did he need to eat, he didn't see much difference in the shield but each time he produced his own shield he felt the power rise, he felt that he could create multiple bubble shields.
He felt ready as he sensed his family coming close so he decided to give it a go and produced his shield once more, getting bigger and stronger. He kept his focus on one bubble around him then he split the bubble into three creating one round Edward and one round Bella and the other round the rest of the group.
Only Bella seemed to have noticed the shield, but she didn't let Edward know, they got to the house and Ateara let the shield down.
Bella smiled at Ateara as they all walked inside.
Alice stopped her eyes fixing on a point no one else could see. Everyone's face changed immediately. "Alice what's wrong? Rosalie asked
"It's the volturi isn't it?" Bella said
"YES! THEY'RE ARRIVING........NOW!!!" Alice shouted in a panic.
