Prologue
The metallic sound of sword meeting sword sounded throughout the clearing. The peaceful looking clearing was disturbed wit scarlet stained mud and corpses of fallen warriors. Towards the center of the fighting was the source of the clanging. Out of the twirling and fast moving battle you could make out the form of two fighters.
One was clad from head to toe with fierce looking armor, decorated with rose designs. If you looked close enough you would notice her feminine looks; brown hair streaming from behind her, red lips, and brown eyes. Her opponent wore nothing but ordinary clothing. He was a man of normal build with pale skin and bronze hair.
Neither side seemed to be winning, but as the skirmish dragged on, the female seemed to weaken. One strike and she was on the ground, sword thrown across the clearing. The man leaned forward and growled. The female stared back defiantly, as the sounds of fighting diminished until it was dead silent. She risked a glance and looked around. Her fellow warriors had been felled after watching their leader lose. She looked back to the man, a smirk resting upon her flawless features. "Well Edward," she spat at him, the words almost pure venom, "Just kill me already, then you will finally be done with me and the rebellion."
Edward frowned and spoke with mock sympathy, "You know I can't kill you Selena. You know how I hate to see such strength die. So instead, I'll have my right hand man kill you. James." He flicked his wrist towards his left, summoning a blond, greasy looking man. He smiled and stepped forward; understanding his new assignment and crouched beside Selena. She braced herself for the pain but before closing her eyes for the final time she stared at Edward with an eerie calm. "Edward Cullen, you may kill me now, but I will not die. Watch your back for I will return, and when I do, you will not be safe until I draw my last breath." She nodded at James, holding her breath, as he flicked his hand forward, ending her life.
"Hey boss, you alright?" A burly man asked Edward. "You looked a little spooked. She was crazy you know, just look at what she attempted to do."
Edward shook himself slightly, looking at her crumpled form. "I know Emmett, but she almost prevailed." He turned on his heel and strode from the meadow.
