You had a lot of close calls during the fight. You got tossed around like a ragdoll, one time hitting the ground so hard you landed wrong on a branch that cut your arm pretty bad. Which only brought on more hungry, flighty Newborns your way. One of the cons of being human was that you couldn't react as fast as your vampire friends during the battle.
But, you made up for it with your power. When you first arrived in Forks a couple months ago, you were being attacked by a vampire. You were running through the forest that you were camping in, terrified and panicking while this rogue vamp chased you, clearly enjoying themselves. They caught up to you eventually and threw you into a tree, breaking your leg. As they approached, you raised your hands to shield your face, screaming.
All you remember after that was an electric feeling rushing through you, a bright white light, the sound of thunder, followed by screams. All you remember before passing out from exhaustion was a pair of golden eyes looking at you.
Carlisle was the one who found you, and brought you back to the Cullen's place to patch you up. He for one was a bit dumbfounded by your powers, as was the rest of the coven. At first, they thought it was a weather manipulation power - which in part, it was. But then Alice had a vision the revealed more; you were no regular human. The extreme stress you were under due to nearly dying and having your leg broken triggered an old, ancient power in you. You had full control over lightning, being able to summon it at will and affect the weather in your immediate area.
Emmett jokingly began calling you Thor due to this, and then the nickname began to stick. While you learnt how your new powers worked and healed from your injury, the Cullens had practically taken you in as one of their own, Carlisle and Esme quickly becoming parental figures to you.
So here you were, a rip-off God of Thunder, fighting desperately and aggressively against beings more physically powerful than you.
You were currently in an intense wrestling match with one Newborn, who was desperately trying to get a bite in. You held their wrists in each hand, struggling to keep them off you. You were exceptionally strong for a human, which you concluded was part of your "fake Thor-ness", as you'd called it once. Red eyes glared into your Y/E/C ones, enraged and bloodthirsty.
Growling, you channeled the electricity in your veins through your arms, your eyes now glowing a bright, almost white-ish blue colour. The Newborn's eyes widened in shock before his screaming began as he was being electrocuted. You grinned manically and got to your feet, never letting go of the Newborn's arms. You watched as his skin began to crack in multiple places, eventually giving way entirely.
Two more Newborns approached you, ready to avenge their comrade. Concentrating hard, you let go of the one you were frying and crouched low before jumping high into the air, a current of lightning following you. Raising your fist and with a piercing scream, you hit the ground with a clap of thunder. The lighting surrounding you hit the two vampires, a chain like effect taking place. The force of the lightning coursing through them was so intense they cracked and crumbled before your eyes, parts of their limbs turning black before quickly dissolving into ash.
Taking a breath, you got to your feet and looked around you. The last of the Newborns were being thrown into a nearby pyre. Rosalie, Esme and some of the wolves who were helping in the fight were watching you with wide eyes.
You'd practiced with your power before, but this was the first time anyone had seen it in full force.
"You doing okay there, Thor?" Emmett called out, throwing the last piece of a Newborn he was holding into the pyre and joining Rosalie.
You nodded. "Yeah, just a bit winded!" you replied back, grinning.
Esme flitted to your side. "Y/N dear, you're bleeding," she said softly, inspecting your bicep where you were cut.
You gave the kind motherly vampire a reassuring smile. "I'm okay," you replied. "I've have worse."
You were pretty beaten up. A bruise was beginning to form on your left cheek, and blood gathered at the corner of your mouth. The adrenaline however was high, so you barely felt the pain in your face.
Esme wrapped an arm around you and lead you back to the others, who were discussing something in hushed tones.
Bella and Edward had rejoined the fighters, who filled them in on everything that happened. Edward was both astonished and impressed with your power after reading the thoughts in both Esme and Rosalie's heads. One young Newborn surrendered, and was currently being watched over by Jasper.
Things were not quite over yet, however. A rogue Newborn managed to injure one of the wolves badly.
"You need to get him out of here," Carlisle spoke urgently to the leader of the pack. "The Volturi won't honour a treaty with the wolves, and they'll be here any moment."
The pack leader, who was now in his human form along with the rest of them and the injured boy, nodded and the group began to transport their friend back home.
"What about Y/N?" Rosalie asked, coming to your side. Surprisingly, the two of you got along quite well, which surprised the coven and Bella equally.
"It's too late to get her out of here," Edward replied, wrapping his arms around Bella. "She has to stay, they'll smell her scent here regardless."
Your heart skipped a few beats. You weren't quite ready to face the infamous Volturi guard. As Rosalie gently rubbed your back reassuringly, you took a deep breath and readied yourself.
The Cullens stood in solidarity as four cloaked figures approached them, you noted they had a sinister vibe about them in the way they carried themselves. Rosalie positioned herself in front of you, so you were partially obscured by her and Esme. You could only just get a slight look at them as they lowered their hoods - three guys and one girl.
It was the red eyed girl who spoke. "I'm impressed, it's not often a coven survives an attack unscathed of this magnitude."
"We were lucky," Edward replied coolly, his face betraying no emotion.
A humorless smirk appeared on the girl's face. "I doubt that."
You take a moment to study each of the red eyed vampires closely. One was lean, with clothes that you couldn't decide on whether they were fashionable or ghastly. Maybe a mix of the two. The man - well, boy, next to him had an innocent looking face, much like the girl's, save for the red eyes. They looked to be no older than 15, which made you sad. The fourth vampire was extremely tall and bigger built than his companions, the muscle of the group, you concluded.
Very attractive muscle, you couldn't help but think, your mind going south as you blatantly checked him out.
Edward spared you one fleeting glance as if to say "Please stop."
You shot him a shy cheeky smile.
"It appears we missed a rather entertaining fight," the boyish vampire mused.
"Yes," the girl replied, her smirk disappearing. "It's not often we're rendered unnecessary."
Then her eyes landed on you. Your heart began to race as a cruel smile graced her face.
"My my, it appears you've let another human in on our secret," she said with a slight bite to her words, alerting her companions to your presence. "Come forward, human."
You looked to Rosalie frantically, who put her hand on your shoulder, along with Esme. "She is of no danger to the exposure of our kind," she argued in your defense, "leave her be."
Her words did not affect the girl, who you now assumed was in charge of this group. However it was the leaner male vampire with the questionable clothing who spoke next. "Let us be the judge of that."
You took a shaky breath, running a hand through your battle messy Y/H/C hair. "It's okay, I can handle it," you whispered to the blonde vampire next to you. With that, you took a few cautious steps forward into eye-shot, heart hammering away painfully in your chest.
All eyes were on you now.
"Who are you?" the blonde red eyed vampire demanded, now glaring at you coldly.
As afraid as you were, you kept your gaze high, meeting her glare. "My name is Y/N," you stated clearly.
"And what business does a human have consorting with our kind?"
Your eyes nervously darted around, measuring up the others' reactions. The leaner vampire looked curious, the boyish one merely bored. The fourth however, was watching with great interest. You could feel the tall vampire's eyes burning a hole into your face the longer you stood there. "I came to assist the Cullens in their fight against the Newborns," you informed her, fists clenching tightly at your sides.
The girl let out a "Hmph" noise.
"She speaks the truth Jane," Carlisle interjected, watching both you and the Volturi carefully. "She's a gifted human."
"And pray tell us, what are your gifts dear Y/N?" the boyish vampire asked.
You looked back over your shoulder, locking eyes with Edward. I have no choice but to show my powers, don't I?
He slightly nodded, just enough for you to know that he heard you.
Turning back to face the Volturi, you took a deep breath before cautiously raising your hands, palms facing upward. The faint sound of thunder rumbled faintly as your hands lit up with the lightning within you. You kept your gaze steady as your E/C eyes turned from their natural colour to the glowing blue that came with using your abilities. Their reactions amused you; Jane and her group took a slight step back, red eyes wide with varying emotions across the group - shock, confusion, wariness and wonder.
"You seem to have a habit of collecting gifted young ones, Carlisle!" The leaner one called out, an amused look on his pretty, gaunt face.
You let your powers subside, the lightning and thunder toning down and your eyes no longer glowing.
Suddenly, Edward let out a strange bark of a laugh.
Jane took issue with his outburst. "Is something the matter, Cullen?" she asked, spitting out the surname.
You and Bella shared the same expression of what the ever loving fuck, dude? as you looked at her boyfriend. He shook his head before replying, baring a bitter grin. "It's amusing, how part of your intention was to check to see if my mate was still human, when one of yours has just found a human mate himself."
Everyone looked around at each other wildly, confused and alarmed.
You also shared this assessment. "I beg your bloody pardon, Eddy?" you asked as calmly as you could, glaring at the golden eyed man, the language earning a chuckle from Emmett.
He gestured to the tall vampire of the group. "Why don't you share with everyone, Felix?" he challenged.
All eyes shifted to Felix, the fourth vampire, who was slightly growling and looking remarkably uncomfortable. You stared at him, holding your breath waiting for the answer.
"It's true," he admitted in a low voice that you could barely hear.
"What?" Jane hissed, her bright crimson eyes narrowing at the vampire twice her size.
He avoided her gaze, instead choosing to look at you. "I feel the mating pull towards her."
A few hisses erupted within the clearing, along with a couple growls. A cold pair of hands grabbed your shoulders and pulled you back, with a glance you saw it was Carlisle who had a carefully contained look of worry on his face. Your head spun back to stare at Felix in shock, mouth slightly open.
"This is... unexpected," Jane broke the growls and hissing with a bored voice. "We will have to consult with Aro for further course of action. But know this, Y/N," she added, looking directly at you with a burning calm fury. "Gifted or not, you're still a human who knows of our kind. You won't stay human for long, you can count on that."
You raised your head a little. Okay I may be freaking the fuck out right now but I won't let her scare me. "So be it," you began calmly, "but please, don't try to intimidate me with petty threats, kid," you said the last word with a slight growl, which took you back a bit.
Jane stepped forward with the pure intent of teaching you some manners her way. The boy to her side and Felix put a hand on each of her shoulders, stopping her. "Let us continue with what we came here to do," Felix reminded her, his red eyes darting from her angry face to your barely-contained fearful one. Did he just save my ass?
Jane smiled for a second, collecting herself before turning her attention to the Newborn Jasper was standing with. "You missed one," she pointed out, the happy glint in her eyes disturbing you to no end.
Son of a bitch he did save my ass.
While the Cullens did try to reason with Jane and argue for the Newborn girl's life, it was pointless. The Volturi members had made up their minds, and with that, Jane ordered Felix to dispose of her, stating that she wanted to "go home".
You watched as he strode forward toward the poor girl, who was still recovering on the ground after Jane used her terrifying gifts on her. He yanked her up from the ground roughly, and you had to close your eyes when the screams and sounds of a vampire being torn apart began.
When they stopped, you opened your eyes and found Felix finishing disposing of the Newborn girl's remains. When he was done, he met your horrified gaze with a look on his face you couldn't quite place. The two of you stared at each other for a while, almost as if you were studying each other's features closely An absent thought of oh no, he's hot briefly crossed your mind.
You couldn't tell how you were feeling - you'd just found out that the vampire you just watched decapitate a poor young girl was apparently your soulmate. How does anyone react to that?
"Felix," Jane called out, an underlying warning in her voice.
With one last once-over of your face, he rejoined his group, and the Volturi disappeared into the treeline and out of sight. You let out a shaky, sobbing breath and fell to your knees. "What the hell just happened?"
