A/N: Again This was previously published on my Betas profile but she took them off hers to put them on mine! This did have a few chapters but now it is a one-shot because I only had 3 Reviews and I don't like continuing stories that no one reviews. If you want me to continue this, its simple: Review!
VICTORIA'S REVENGE
Edward ran me inside the Cullen's house and shut the door behind us. I was in so much pain; 2 days earlier he had decided that he would try to change me. He put me down and walked over to his family and I heard them whisper a lot. I knew why we were here; it was because of Alice's last vision. It was of a war between Victoria, The La Push gang and the Cullens.
Edward thought I had the right to know what it was, in short, I die. They all seemed to agree on something and Edward walked over and kissed me, He whispered softly, "I will be right back I promise." He walked towards the large white kitchen followed by Carlisle. Esme and Alice walked over and gave me a hug.
I couldn't help but think that they were saying their goodbyes. Whatever their plan was, they felt it wasn't going to work. Edward walked quickly back into the room. "Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Esme please lock all the doors and windows." Carlisle said quickly. Bella noticed that Carlisle nodded towards Edward, and flashed a brief, fake, reassuring smile towards me.
Edward swiftly picked me up and ran me up to flights of stairs, followed closely by Rosalie. Edward carefully put me down outside a faded wooden door, kissed me on last time, for not nearly long enough, and then Rosalie took me into a small room and locked the door. Both Rosalie and I mediately ran over to the window and looked out.
I saw Edward run outside to meet up with the rest of the Cullens who were talking fast and low, and always looking towards Alice. Alice closed her eyes and before she had even opened her eyes, Edward was giving the rest of his family instructions of what to do. The Cullens all nodded and began to spread out 15 feet away from the front of the house creating a barrier protecting the whole front of the house.
No sooner had they spread out, that Victoria followed by 15 other vampires had begun to spread out similarly to the Cullens, except there was 20 feet between the Cullens and them. I swallowed hard. I was in terrible pain, I was trying to remain quiet but this whole fight wasn't helping.
Rosalie must have noticed the mixture of pain and worry in my face as she said quietly, "Look, Don't Worry, Bella, everything will be fine, we have always been prepared for confrontations like this."
I really wanted to believe her, but the fact that they were all putting their lives on the line for me was beginning to make me sick. We continued to look outside the window. Swiftly all the Cullens moved forward. The other vampires moved forward too.
Even from the third story window I could hear what Victoria screamed to her followers, "Kill all in your path, Find the girl, and bring her to me alive!"
Then faster than possible the Cullens and the others ran forward and I heard, nearly felt the sickening crash and thud of the opposing vampires colliding, seeing and hearing this was so terrible I had to look away. I couldn't think of anything, except that Alice's visions nearly always came true. If this one came true, I knew that all that awaited me was death.
The vampires that were following Victoria were trying to get past the Cullen's and making their way towards the house. Victoria looked up at me with chilling, empty eyes, her scarlet hair blowing across her face in the wind. This time I couldn't hold it in, I screamed in pain, a more terrible pain than I had felt before. I couldn't even double over in pain, Victoria still had me locked in her gaze. I was wishing, almost begging her to drop her stare. Rosalie noticed and pushed me carefully aside and uttered a small hiss, Victoria immediately dropped her gaze.
Rosalie said calmly, "the venom has reached your heart; the transformation should be complete soon." I nodded; I wanted the pain and the fighting to stop, as I looked out the window for one last time.
I realised how comic this idea was for 5 giant wolves ran into the yard; I recognised one, the russet wolf. Jacob Black. Please, no, not now I thought. Now more than ever I wished that Edward could know what I was thinking, or even Jacob. They're here to kill the Cullens and me. I kept thinking. We had broken the treaty.
The La Push Gang phased back instantly as they saw that there were more vampires. Jacob along with the rest of the gang were laughing. They had the nerve to laugh. I saw that Carlisle was talking to the La Push gang. No not talking, begging, and pleading. Jacob looked at another boy, it was Sam Uley. Sam nodded. They seemed to agree to help.
They all phased at the same time, with a loud rip that I could hear from up here. They all jumped different directions and took on at least 1 vampire each. I saw that Sam had taken on two. I saw Edward roar with anger as one vampire got past him and ran into the house.
Rosalie pushed me further towards the window and said firmly, "Don't move!"
Rosalie moved hesitantly towards the door, she was 1 foot away from the door when an unusually white hand shot straight through the door and grabbed Rosalie around the neck and pulled her back through the wooden door. I screamed as Rosalie struggled. I saw that it was the vampire that had gotten past Edward. The podgy vampire was trying to rip Rosalie's flesh off. I froze.
"BELLA! RUN!" The struggling Rosalie managed to scream.
Without thinking I ran straight past the podgy vampire, who didn't seem to care, and down the two flights of stairs.
When I reached the ground floor, I looked around, my eyes fell on a female vampire who evidently saw me and began to run for me. I braced myself when suddenly Emmett came from out of nowhere and grabbed the vampire, who wasn't taking it quietly, she screaming her head off. Emmett was easily holding her back when he realised I was there.
"Bella, why are you down here? It's not safe! Where's Rosie?" He shouted over the vampire he was holding back.
He didn't wait for an answer because the vampire he was holding spun around and attacked him. I heard the door burst open, so I spun around.
Edward, Jake, Quill, Embry, Jared, Sam and the rest of the Cullens walked in. "Bella, Where's Rosalie?" Edward asked angrily, I couldn't speak.
Edward must have noticed this as instead he turned to Emmett who evidently had destroyed the female, and told him, "We took care of 13 vampires, two others have come in here and we lost Victoria."
"I took care of one here." Emmett said quietly.
I am going to faint, I thought, oh no. "The other one is upstairs." I squeaked, queasily.
Edward nodded. Jake and Sam ran upstairs and I know we all heard a rip and snapping then nothing. Jake came down first followed by Sam who was carrying a limp and injured Rosalie. I looked at all the Cullens, they were hurt, badly and it was all for me. I didn't deserve it; they shouldn't have risked their own lives for me.
The last thing I saw was Emmett run over to Sam and take Rosalie from him, Emmett was crying, actually crying. Then I felt myself faint.
I opened my eyes minutes later to see Carlisle leaning over me checking my pulse, and saying to Edward.
"She's all right, she probably fainted from the pain, I guess." I saw Edward nod twice.
Carlisle saw that I'd woken, "Welcome back." He said lightly.
I tried to smile but I couldn't. I stood up. All the Cullens and the La Push gang were standing in front of me when I felt someone behind me.
Before I could spin around I hand clamped around my mouth and a voice close to my ear said, "After they took James from me, after they murdered him, did they really think that I would give up that easily?"
It was Victoria. Then without any warning, I felt her teeth clamp down on my neck. I screamed, it was muffled but loud. Everyone turned around and looked. They were all shocked; none were close enough to help so I struggled against her grip. She stopped biting me when I kicked her shin. She dropped me, just as Edward reached her and pulled her away from me. He threw her aside and rushed towards me. I saw that Carlisle was the one to "finish off" Victoria.
It didn't take long to destroy Victoria, when Carlisle had done so, Sam Uley called him over, and Carlisle went. I saw Edward listening, but he didn't notice that I was listening too. It was silent so it wasn't that hard to hear what they were saying.
"Leave Forks, all of you, for ever, never come back and we will not destroy you." Sam said hard and sternly.
There was a long silence; I feared that it wouldn't be broken. "We'll leave right away."
I had expected to here Carlisles voice, but it was Edwards that had broken the silence. There was another silence; the only sound was the sound of my heart beat.
"Yes, we'll leave." Carlisle agreed. My heart beat slowed, and then finally stopped.
Edward bent down and whispered softly in my ear, "The transformation is complete."
