Chapter Seven: Newborn Battle
"It's all over the news! Soon even the humans will begin to suspect something is amiss," came the voice of Marcus, filtered through the door. It was the first time Harry had actually heard the mostly silent member of the Volturi. It sounded like they were arguing, which only peaked his curiosity.
Harry had been walking through the empty corridor outside of the Volturi's meeting room when he had heard their discussion. It was a cloudy day in the city and Aro had decreed that they were to go out into the city and enjoy themselves. The building, therefore, was mostly deserted.
The Volturi were clearly not expecting anyone to remain behind. It had been a few months since his first mission for them and the Volturi had finally trusted him enough to let him loose in their protected city, although he suspected he wouldn't be allowed anywhere near any potential exits, so he couldn't take the chance to escape. He couldn't risk a huge fight with potentially catastrophic human casualties, either.
"Ah, maybe, but it does present us with a unique opportunity," Caius answered. "Carlisle lives near the area, does he not? Let us observe what he does with the newborns!"
"Excellent idea, Caius!" Aro exclaimed, excitement seeping into his voice.
Who was Carlisle? Harry thought as he leaned against the wall, next to the door. And why were the Volturi interested in what this vampire would do against the newborns? He frowned.
"Do you believe this is wise?" Marcus counselled.
"Are you not interested in the abilities of their coven?" Aro asked.
Ah, that explained a little, he thought. As always, Aro's interest in unique abilities among vampires was the reasoning behind his decision. This coven must have some very interesting abilities for Aro to consider testing them, as it seemed they were doing.
A faint sound of footsteps reached his ears and Harry quickly cast an invisibility spell over him. It felt weird that he was not using his invisibility cloak in order to sneak around.
The footsteps became louder as the owner approached and Harry was able to see the sullen face of Santiago. He stood completely still (an easy thing to do for a vampire) and stopped his deliberate breathing. He didn't do it often, as it was very uncomfortable. Not being able to smell everything in the room felt awkward and uncomfortable.
Santiago passed him without any suspicion. Heopened the door and left Harry's line of vision.
"Masters," he heard Santiagogreet the assembled members of the Volturi. "You wanted updates on the situation in Seattle, America?"
"Go ahead," Aro prompted.
"There have been many more murders and disappearances. They are getting even sloppier and the local authorities are getting suspicious. The law enforcement may be getting extremely close to discovering the true nature of this situation."
"Its time then," Aro murmured.
Harry backed away silently, he had heard enough and wanted to avoid getting caught, despite the use of an invisibility charm. He slipped in to another empty hallway before turning himself visible once more. Harry didn't quite know what was going on, but it must be something of great importance for the Volturi to be arguing about it. What abilities did this Cullen have, to hold so much interest?
"Who is Carlisle?" Harry asked Demetri a few days later, his curiosity having overcome him. After making his decision to confront Demetri about the Cullens, he had found the tracker in the empty common room.
"Cullen? Where did you hear that name?" Demetri asked, leaning back into the plush red chair. The vampire was staring at the door, Harry noted with suspicion. Demetri definitely knew something, but was unwilling or unable to tell him.
"Heard it around," Harry shrugged as he replied. He hoped that he didn't sound too interested.
Demetri glanced at him quickly, before turning his gaze back to the door. "Carlisle Cullen stayed here for a while to study. He found that we were well educated, sophisticated compared to the other vampires he had come across. He is actually a very curious fellow. He –"
"Demetri," Jane interrupted sternly from the door. "We require your services." Her eyes narrowed as they swept across the room, focusing first on Demetri, then on Harry.
Demetri nodded, before turning back to Harry. He looked at Harry in the eye as he spoke, "I best go now. I'll see you later."
"Okay," Harry replied. "Thanks for the – uh – the story."
Demetri inclined his head slightly in acknowledgment before following Jane out to the elevators.
Harry stared at the closing elevator door for a moment as he pondered what the Volturi were up to. Why did the Volturi want these Cullens to reveal their powers?
"Potter… Potter!" said an annoying voice to his right. Harry didn't even have to turn to realise who it was. He held back an annoyed groan. It had been several hours after she had interrupted Demetri when he was just about to reveal something.
"Dammit, Potter! Keep your ears open! We have them for a reason," she told him angrily.
"Oh, I don't know…" Harry answered her, grinning at her annoyed expression. After a moment of silence, he sighed. "Jane, what do you want?"
"Master Aro has sent us on a mission. For some reason he has asked you to go, too and as you missed the meeting –"
"I wasn't summoned to any meeting," Harry pointed out.
Jane looked smug at that. "Regardless, we still have a job to do."
"Right," he mumbled grumpily.
"Harry," Demetri said warmly as he approached them from the Volturi Hall. Demetri opened his mouth to speak, but Harry bet him to it.
"We have a mission, I know," Harry said. He glanced at Jane, who was still smirking. "When are we leaving?"
"Jane hasn't told you?" Demetri sounded surprised, although Harry knew she wouldn't have told him.
"I'm sure she was about to," he stated dryly.
"Yes, well…" Demetri seemed to pick up on Harry's sarcasm. "We leave in two hours. Do you need to pick up anything?"
"No, I'm alright. What's the mission?"
"There's a little more too it, but basically we are to ensure a coven disposes of some troublesome newborns."
"So we're really going to kill them," Harry asked in disbelief. He briefly wondered if it was connected to the coven the Volturi were discussing a few days ago. "What about giving them a chance?"
"No. No chance. They've drawn too much attention. The humans will soon start to suspect and the Volturi cannot allow that."
Harry knew it was futile to argue. After all, what the Volturi ordered had to be obeyed, right?
A thought suddenly occurred to him. "But, I thought it was our job to get rid of newborns, why are we letting another coven do so then?"
"Like I said, there's a little more to it. The Volturi ordered us to stand back to see what the coven does," Demetri answered. Harry was aware that his vampire friend was withholding some important details. "We should go, the jet should be finished refuelling shortly. Felix will meet us there."
Harry knew that was all he was going to get from his friend. He would let it go… for now.
"Right. Coming Jane?" Harry asked lightly.
She didn't answer, instead brushing past him rudely. She walked briskly to the elevators. He stared after her for a moment before following.
Harry had never been to America before, but now that he was here he could see its appeal. He could see himself drifting across America, just existing. They had landed in Port Angeles and as soon as he stepped out of the plane, the heavy rain quickly soaked through his hair and clothes. He was used to this weather; it was similar to the type of weather in London. He nodded slightly to himself. This was definitely a place he could come back to.
As Harry and his companions sprinted through the snow covered forests surrounding Seattle, he couldn't escape the feeling that he was… returning home after a long day. It made him feel safe and a pleasant feeling of warmth that cultivated within him. It was something he hadn't felt for years and he didn't know it was missing until now.
It didn't take them long to reach their destination. They stopped far enough away from where the coven and newborns would presumably gather, in order to remain undetected, but close enough that they would be able to clearly determine the outcome of the battle likely to result from the presence of newborns.
"Now, we are not to interfere should a fight break out," Jane commanded, looking directly at Harry as if he would undermine her authority. Well, he would definitely like to, given the right time and place, but whether this was so, still remained to be seen. He looked squarely back at her, making sure his face revealed nothing.
Harry was still unsure why the Volturi were allowing this coven to dispose of these newborn vampires' themselves. This wasn't exactly typical of their behaviour. He frowned slightly. There must be something else going on, something that he wasn't privy to. Not for long, though, he did have an uncanny knack for uncovering secrets.
"The fighting hasn't even started yet," Felix pointed out, his tone held a hint of disappointment.
"We have enough time to get into proper positions, then," Jane said.
"Proper positions?" Harry couldn't help but ask.
"If you were at the meeting you would know," Jane replied with an air of superiority.
"Well, if someone passed on the message-"
"That was for Master Aro to decide. We can't help that he decided that you were not trustworthy enough to be included," Jane answered.
Harry opened his mouth to retort, but was interrupted.
"We should get moving, before the fighting starts," Demetri advised.
"Spread out and make sure we cover all areas. No one escapes," Jane ordered. "Don't intervene and start moving in until I do."
As soon as Jane finished speaking, ferocious growls started, gradually growing louder. The noise of feet scraped along the forest floor, as well as bodies colliding together, reached their ears. The fight had began.
"To your places!" Jane instructed.
Harry was glad to get out of her presence and obeyed with an eye roll. His position turned out to be in a good spot. He was hidden behind a great deal of bushes between the thick trees just beyond the perimeter of the clearing. He was able to hear the battle going on in a clearing further up. It was a good vantage point to have.
The battle was raging on. He could hear the scuffles, growls and yelps of pain coming from all around the clearing.
He was itching to help, his hand twitching in anticipation. It went against his nature to just stand and wait while there is a battle going on ahead.
It was then he knew what he had to do.
He would help out these vampires. He didn't know why Jane had refused to aid them.
Harry slowly crept forward to the bushes closer to the clearing, hoping that the smallest sounds that he would make will go unnoticed by the noise from the fighting. As the clearing came into view, he could see the full extent of the fight.
In the small clearing was a fight of which Harry had never seen before. Harry presumed that the Cullens were the ones in what looked to be expensive clothing, though he wasn't a fashion expert. There were six members in the coven, three male and three female. They were paired and scattered across the clearing, fighting off several newborns at a time.
Vampires certainly had a unique way of fighting, especially newborns. They were aggressive, ruled entirely by their instincts and uncontrolled, unruly emotions. They tend to fight head on, attacking without thinking and going straight in for the kill.
Suddenly, a growl emitted from the far right corner of the clearing. It didn't seem like it came from a vampire. Harry didn't have to wait long to find out the source of the noise, as several wolves leapt into the fight. They had come from the dense bush towards the edges of the clearing, not unlike the bushes he was using to conceal himself.
The wolves' powerful legs allowed them to leap at great heights. They also appeared to be bigger than average wolves, almost the size of a horse. They also seemed to have high intelligence, too, as they appeared very coordinated and only attacked the newborn vampires.
One thing was clear, they were no ordinary wolves.
What are they? Harry frowned in thought. The lunar cycle was all wrong for them to be werewolves - it was no where near the full moon. They were not animagus either. For one, wizard's would never help vampires and two, even a group of the same animagus form would never be as synchronised as these wolves appeared to be.
Regardless of the new allies, the coven was still outnumbered and could use some help. Harry stepped forward slowly, sliding into a crouch, ready to spring out at exactly the right moment.
But then one of the female coven members turned facing his general direction. A startling realisation came to him as he realised who it was. He barely managed to withhold a gasp. It was Alice - the same perky vampire who visited the Volturi with the human, Bella. Alice must be one of these Cullens!
Her fighting style was particularly ferocious, despite her tiny stature, Harry observed.
He quickly deduced the best option here was to utilise his abilities and immobilise the ones that were fighting the coven and the wolves, or slow them down at the very least. He leapt into the battle.
He froze the newborns that were fighting the coven before any noticed him. His red eyes met with Alice's golden ones, which widened as she recognised him immediately. She smiled encouragingly. Alice mouthed 'thank-you' before she jumped, tearing the head off the nearest immobilised vampire. The rest of the coven took her lead and began attacking the frozen vampires when they could.
Harry managed to slow down a few more, when things got a little more interesting. He heard a twig break behind him and ducked as arms came around at either side to grab him. He elbowed the surprised newborn in the stomach. It stumbled back as Harry righted himself. He quickly cast another Immobulus Charm on the newborn and darted forward. He ripped off its arms and legs and used a simple spell to light the vampire on fire. He moved away to his next target. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the thick red-orange flames spiral up high into the sky.
Harry quickly scanned the battlefield to find out where else he would be needed. He noticed as he did so the coven made use of the fire to dispose of their opponents.
To his left, Harry heard a pain filled yelp and turned to see a newborn crushing a russet brown wolf. Unable to stand the howls laced with pain, he quickly raced into action. With great force, he started ripping the strong newborn off the wolf. He dismembered the arms of the newborns with the help of his magic. Two wolves sprang forward to help, latching on to a leg each with their large and sharp teeth. One had black fur, while the other had gray fur with black , with help from the wolves, tossed it into the crackling fire. The wolf who Harry helped save gave what seemed to be a thankful bark.
Harry could hear the cracking sound of bones popping back into place as he watched the russet wolf limp off. These wolves must have extraordinary healing capabilities, Harry thought in wonder.
As the battle wore on, Harry soon disposed of his third and fourth opponents. Just as he was getting rid of the fifth one, another newborn came round and closed its mouth around his left arm. The bite was painful and stung as venom poured into his body.
Harry brought his right leg up and kicked the troublesome newborn in the stomach. It didn't budge. The newborn had clamped hard on to his arm, sinking through to the bone in an attempt to bite his arm off. Harry was annoyed now, the sting was settling into his arm. He was about to blast it off him, when Alice and another Cullen came up to him and forcefully ripped the vampire off him. When it released him, Harry stepped back a few paces and watched as they ripped off the newborns limbs and chucked the pieces into the raging fire.
"That is going to leave a mark," Harry commented. He looked down to his arm and surveyed the damage. The newborn had bitten through the bone, but he could already feel his body healing the damage, leaving only a scar as a reminder. It was stinging like crazy and he couldn't help but rub it in order to attempt to get rid of the sting. It didn't make much difference. He looked up as he heard Alice and a blond male vampire approached.
"Vampire bites sting. It will scar," Alice piped up as she drew near. She glanced at her companion. The blonde vampire had numerous scars on every visible portion of his body from vampire bites and there was no doubt in Harry's mind that there would be a lot more over virtually every inch of his body. Harry winced in sympathy at the pain those must have caused him. If his one bite had been painful, how must it felt with several dozen?
"Great," Harry muttered sarcastically. He turned and surveyed the battlefield. There was only one female left. A second and physically older blond male vampire was talking to it authoritatively.
Harry took a step towards the newborn, when Alice stopped him. "She surrendered," Alice explained. Her companion was careful not to let Alice go anywhere near him, standing next to her protectively. Mates? He suspected.
"I knew we would meet again!" Alice practically jumped, but a hand around her waist stilled her.
"This is Jasper," she introduced. She reached up on the tips of her toes to give him a kiss on the cheek. Such affection, Harry thought somewhat wistfully.
Harry nodded to Jasper. "I'm Harry," he replied. "Harry Potter."
The other coven members came up either side of Alice and Jasper and Harry could hear the wolves coming up behind him.
"He is with the Volturi," Alice explained.
Harry waited for it and was not disappointed as the atmosphere surrounding the clearing immediately tensed.
"Yes," Harry sighed in acknowledgement. "So those wolves beyond better go hide if they don't want there existence to be known to Aro and the others."
The wolves stood still for a moment. The physically older blond vampire, who seemed to be the coven leader looked over at them and nodded. "I would like to examine Jacob first and then yes, you can all go."
There was a slight hesitation, as the wolves seemed a little wary of the assessment.
"Bella would have heard about the fight from Edward and will be worried," Alice added.
The wolf, who seemed to be the Alpha nodded and the russet brown wolf that Harry saved stepped forward. The coven leader walked to the injured wolf and knelt down next to the creature. His hands ghosted over the body has he examined the creature with medical precision.
"You'll be fine. Your healing factor has already started. You may still be sore for a few days, however, so you will still need to take it easy."
The leader stood up and addressed the Alpha directly. "Thank-you for your help. It is much appreciated."
The wolf who seemed to be the Alpha nodded and let out an authoritive bark before scampering off, his pack-mates following along behind him.
Soon after the intelligent wolves left, a rustle came from the bushes at the edge of the clearing. Another vampire who Harry immediately recognised as Edward was carrying his human, Bella emerged. She looked to be unconscious.
"Carlisle, she passed out," Edward called frantically with concern. Carlisle was immediately in front of him. He was methodological with his assessment of the human, just like with the wolf, which made Harry suspect that this Carlisle had some sort of medical background.
"Just give her time, Edward. She's just exhausted," Carlisle diagnosed, as he took her pulse.
"Carlisle – it's been five minutes," Edward voiced anxiously.
"She'll come around when she is ready, Edward," the vampire replied calmly. "She's had too much to deal with today. Let her mind protect itself."
It must have been overwhelming to a human. An all out vampire brawl was a lot to take in for anyone. There must have been another fight, where she was involved, Harry rationalised as he took in Edward's dirty and torn clothing.
Edward suddenly turned to Harry. He looked confused for a second, until he realised why Harry must have been there.
"You."
"Yes?" Harry replied with the same tone. Edward looked like he was about to comment, but thought better of it. The bronze-haired vampire focused back on his mate.
"Alice, how long do we have?" Edward suddenly demanded, his eyes never leaving the human. Harry got the feeling he wasn't asking about when Bella would wake up. Another female vampire walked up to them. She looked to be physically in her mid-twenties and had a slender, round figure. Her caramel-coloured wavy hair reached down to her shoulders. She seemed to radiate motherly qualities, something Harry longed to have had in his life. Other than his best friend's mother, his life was devoid of a mother figure.
"Another five minutes," Alice answered, her tone surprisingly cheerful given the situation. "And Bella will open her eyes in thirty-seven seconds. I wouldn't doubt that she can hear us now."
"Bella, honey?" the motherly vampire spoke softly to the human and confirmed his thoughts. "Can you hear me? You're safe now, dear." She stroked Bella's hair comfortingly.
Edward leaned done next to her ear and addressed her concerns, "He's going to live, Bella. The wounds were only superficial. Help arrived in time. He'll be fine."
It worked. Harry could see the human's eyes beginning to flutter.
"Oh, Bella," Edward's relief was paramount. He leaned down a little further and kissed her tenderly.
"Edward," she whispered in response.
"Yes, I'm here."
Bella opened her eyes. "Jacob is okay?" She asked.
"Yes," he answered.
"I examined him myself,"Carlisle spoke now, to put her concerns to rest. "His life is not in any danger. He has a few small injuries, but nothing life threatening. With his healing capabilities, he will have healed by now, although he may be sore for a few days."
"What happened to him?" she whispered.
"Another wolf was in trouble-"
"Leah." It was said as statement, rather then a question.
"Yes. He knocked her out of the way, but didn't have time to defend himself. The newborn got his arms around him. Most of the bones on the right half of his body started to shatter."
The human flinched, as she must have visualised the image.
"But, Harry helped Jacob and got the newborn off him. It wasn't as bad as it could have been."
This caused Bella to turn around in Edward's arms, facing Harry.
"Harry?" she questioned. Her face lit up in recognition. "From the Volturi. A Guard."
"Yes," Harry confirmed.
She turned back to Carlisle, intent on gaining any information she could on this Jacob wolf. From the sound of it, Bella viewed this Jacob wolf as a person, but he was still obviously one of these wolves. They must somehow be able to transform into wolves, like werewolves, but still not at the same time.
"He'll be back to normal?" She asked.
"Yes, Bella. He won't have any permanent damage."
Bella turned back to Harry. "Thank-you," she murmured quietly.
"No problem. Glad I could help," he replied.
"Three minutes," Alice interrupted quietly.
The Cullens moved to stand in a loose semi-circle around the fire. They were waiting for the impending arrivals. Other than Carlisle, Jasper, Alice, Edward and the motherly one, there were two other vampires in the coven.
The female was tall, statuesque and had wavy blond hair that reached down to the middle of her back. Her most notable feature was that she was beautiful, even for a vampire. The other vampire, standing beside her, was male and clearly the tallest of the coven. He was burly and had slightly curly, dark brown hair. Perhaps he was her mate? They all seemed to be mated, after all, he considered.
Harry stood off to the side in front of them and focused on Bella. He was curious about her reactions in the midst of a vampire coven. Her instincts should have warned her away.
Bella, however, was focused on the newborn curled into a small ball by the flames. Edward followed her gaze, too, and told her, "She surrendered. That's one I've never seen before. Only Carlisle would think of offering. Jasper does not approve."
Harry could see Bella turning her gaze to look at Jasper, who was unconsciously rubbing his forearm. This made Harry painfully aware of his own stinging arm and he rubbed his bite mark too.
"Is Jasper all right?" She asked quietly noticing the vampire's action as well.
"He's fine. The venom stings."
"He was bitten?" She gasped.
"He was trying to be everywhere at once. Trying to make sure Alice had nothing to do, actually." Edward shook his head. "Alice doesn't need anyone's help."
"Overprotective fool," Alice commented with a grimace.
The newborn suddenly wailed loudly. Jasper stepped towards her as he slid into a crouch defensively. Edward also moved, placing Bella away from the female. Carlisle went to Jasper's side, placing a stilling hand on his arm, prompting inaction.
"Have you changed your mind, young one? We don't want to destroy you, but we will if you can't control yourself," Carlisle told her, his voice as calm as ever.
"How can you stand it? I want her."
"You must stand it. You must exercise control. It is possible, and is the only thing that will save you now."
She grabbed her head and howled quietly.
"Shouldn't we move away from here?" Bella whispered, causing Harry to focus back on her.
"I'm afraid you can't," Harry spoke up apologetically. He stood a little straighter from his relaxed position.
Her gaze slowly turned to him once more. Her eyes were questioning him as to why he was there. But there was no time to answer. He was aware of the movement closing in on the clearing.
"Not now," Harry told her. "Here they come."
"We have to stay here," Edward said. "They are coming to the north end of the clearing."
Soon enough, Jane's voice came, "Hmm."
Jane walked into the clearing, closely followed by Felix and Demetri.
"Welcome Jane," Edward said coolly.
It didn't take long for Jane to assess the scene and realise that Harry was there.
"What are you doing here so soon? I said wait for my order!" Her eyes flashed angrily to Harry.
He shrugged, unconcerned with her line of questioning. He had anticipated it. "You were already coming. I was closer, so it was only expected that I reached our destination first."
Jane's eyes narrowed at him. She couldn't create a scene and they both knew it. She turned to the Cullens and addressed them. Harry's grin widened at his small victory.
"I don't understand," Jane said once she saw the cowering newborn.
"She has surrendered," Edward explained.
"Surrendered." Jane glared at him.
Harry watched the scene with an expression of disinterest. In his peripheral vision, he could see Felix and Demetriexchange looks.
"Carlisle gave her the option," Edward elaborated, shrugging.
"There are no options for those who break the rules," Jane stated.
"That's in your hands. As long as she was willing to halt her attack on us, I saw no need to destroy her. She was never taught."
"That is irrelevant," Jane persisted.
"Is it?" Harry questioned. Everyone in the clearing turned to him, faces displaying their disbelief. "Shouldn't she have a choice?"
"What?" Jane breathed angrily. She stopped short, facing him swiftly.
"The Volturi are big on choices, aren't they," he explained, albeit a little sarcastically. "She wants a second chance. She is choosing to change. Now that is a rare thing in itself."
"Since when do you play advocate for disobedient vampires? You've killed your fair share." Jane countered.
He flinched at the word 'kill', but answered, "Only when provoked. They were practically hired goons anyway." He thought back to the vampires that Voldemort sent after him.
"It seemed like the Cullens would look after her, keep her on the right path?" Harry went on.
"We will, of course, offer to teach her our lifestyle or help her until she is no longer a newborn, should she choose to feed upon humans," Carlisle offered calmly to diffuse the tension.
What did he mean? His lifestyle? Harry's forehead furrowed in confusion.
"We live a different lifestyle to other vampires. Most notably, we drink from the blood from animals, rather then humans," the blond vampire explained as he saw Harry's confusion.
"What?" Harry breathed in surprise. "That's possible?"
Vampires could feed from animals? Harry thought in wonder. Could they really drink from animals instead?
This… changed everything.
Jane huffed in irritation. Harry ignored her and looked straight into Carlisle's eyes. He saw the truth sparkling from the topaz eyes looking back at him.
"Your eyes?" he guessed. Was that how they could tell?
"Yes," Carlisle answered, having anticipated the rest of the question.
Harry had a lot to re-evaluate now. He had been lied to. Aro had omitted to not tell him everything. Harry had felt so guilt killing innocent people, but now he had an alternative. He wouldn't have to hurt anyone anymore. This changed everything. How he viewed his life now and his life at the Volturi… everything.
"Is this true?" Harry suddenly demanded, spinning around to face Jane. The others looked at Harry curiously.
"So what? Who cares?" Jane answered. "It's against our nature and disgusting to even think about it." Her face scrunched up in revolution. "Don't move! We are going to finish this quickly."
Harry looked on as Jane once again turned conversations back to the newborn situation. He didn't pay attention; he had a lot to think about. He now had an alternative source of food for when he escaped, and reason to speed up his efforts of escape, too. He was vaguely aware throughout his musings of Jane torturing and destroying the newborn and of the talk turning to Bella.
As they were finally leaving, Harry could practically feel the perceptive eyes on him. He was unsurprised to see that they belonged to Alice. It was a little unnerving. He glanced at her and was offered a small smile. She mouthed, 'good luck' at him, to which he frowned in confusion. It was almost as if she knew what he was planning…
He didn't dwell on it though.
He had an escape plan to iron out.
Feedback is appreciated. Sorry I didn't post this chapter sooner, but I participated in NaNoWriMo this year, which took up a lot of my time.
