Bella was instantly by my side, offering me a hand to help me up with a playful smirk on her face.
"Thank you, love," I groaned, tugging lightly on her hand to stand myself back up, dusting off blades of grass that scattered over my body.
Bella chuckled, picking a piece of grass from my hair, "No problem."
She looked around us at our surroundings. At least it was night. I followed her gaze up to where the sun comes up and noticed that it must be about three in the morning. It was dark, but light enough that we could make out our hands in front of our faces.
I looked out onto the trees that stood between us and the safe house that was two blocks north.
"How is there still forestry here?" I asked, frowning at the trees that still stood. They were blackened from fire, but still standing.
"I honestly have no idea. The ground here must have been lucky," Bella answered, looking around once more before walking towards the black forest, "Let's go before Felix and the buffoons catch up."
We broke out into a run, dodging trees and hopping over fallen tree trunks as we ran in the direction of the safe house. We had only been running a couple minutes when we heard footsteps and yelling behind us.
"Oh shit!" Bella gasped, glancing at me before pushing her legs faster, yanking on my arm to go faster with her.
"Oh, God," I groaned, seeing the outline of the safe house and two figures in front of it.
"Alice! Jasper! Run!" Bella yelled towards them, glancing back over her shoulder as the Volturi warriors gained on us – all of them yelling furiously, ready to kill.
"We're not running!" Jasper's rough voice called back to us as he grabbed Alice's hand and stood ready to fight. Alice mirrored his position with a dangerous and fearless stance.
They launched forward and broke out into a sprint towards us as we dodged the arms and legs that were trying to immobilize us.
I spun around in a flash and dropped to the ground, sticking a leg out for the man behind me to trip over before another launched forward.
"Fucker!" I growled as I stood back up and lifted my ankle to pull a dagger from my boot and flung it at him.
I paused when I heard the scream of Bella.
"Bitch!" Felix barked as he tackled Bella to the ground.
I spun around to see Alice and Jasper running towards us and launching themselves into the air and both taking down a Fighter.
I ran for Bella before I pulled my foot back and slammed it into Felix's face so Bella could slide out from underneath him.
"Bella!" I gasped, grabbing her hand and yanking her behind me as we were slowly being surrounded by a total of ten Volturi Night Fighters.
They all pulled out various weapons like swords and clubs and slowly took a couple steps towards us, their fangs bared and crouched low.
Bella looked around at them all with wide eyes, her hand sliding down the side of my right thigh and tapping the sword. I looked down at her to see her looking at me, her eyes sending me messages that I fully understood.
She nodded at me again, glancing at the swords and I nodded back, tapping the swords hanging on her back.
She mouthed the words, "One. Two. Three."
In the blink of an eye, Bella grabbed two swords from behind her, out from under her coat and threw them backwards into the air before throwing herself forward.
All the warriors looked up to see Alice and Jasper soaring through the air to catch the swords before plummeting down into two of the Warriors, commencing a battle.
She screamed as she pulled out a switchblade and flashed by two Fighters, slitting both of their throats while they were distracted.
"Sword, Edward!" Bella barked at me, grabbing the stake from her breast and tackling down a blond haired man and driving it through his heart.
I nodded and drew my sword, glaring at a tall, brown haired man that came towards me hissing and flinging around his sword. I curled a finger for him to make the first move and he didn't disappoint. He jumped forward and yelled as she brought his sword down on me.
I blocked his hit with my sword, the sound of the clashing metal echoing through the forest before I dropped down in a roundhouse kick, knocking him off his feet and on his back.
"Fuck!" he yelled as I kicked his sword away and held the tip of mine to his neck.
I growled before shoving the blade threw his jugular and yanking it out as the blood gushed and poured over his chest.
"The young ones never learn," I muttered to myself before looking up and seeing Alice on the back of a massive man with her little, wiry arms wrapped around his neck and her face in his neck.
My lip curled in disgust as I remembered how nasty Alice could get if she allowed her true nature to surface.
There were screams of pain and rage all around me and I felt guilty for taking the lives of them. But it was a matter of life and death and if I didn't fight – it would be death for me.
I scanned around myself to spot Bella yelling out in bloodlust as she whipped her two swords around her body, blocking Felix's blows and slicing at his arms and legs.
She held her ground as the man twice her size whacked her down with his sword, going full force on her. There was a sneer on her face before she caught his sword in the 'X' of her swords crossed together and screamed as she threw them back.
Her leg connected with his midsection before she whipped one of her swords towards a tree trunk near by, imbedding itself. She ran for it, looking back to make sure Felix was following before she jumped onto her sword and jumped into the air.
Her body arched backwards as she soared over Felix and landed behind him with a grunt. Bella took no chance and shoved her sword into Felix's back and out his chest, threw his heart.
I immediately jumped into action and yanked out a dagger from my boot before tossing it through the air, watching as it buried into Felix's neck.
He gasped in shock before wide eyes looked into mine. The entry wound of the knife was swelling with blood, pure crimson liquid slowing oozing from the entry wound and down his neck. I sneered at him before Bella finished the job with a dagger through the heart, before she moving onto one of the four that were attacking Alice and Jasper.
I snuck up behind the one that was trying to stab Jasper in the side every chance he got, and kicked the back of his knees so he fell forward. The Warrior gasped before falling onto his hands and knees, slowly bringing his head up just as Jasper snarled and drove his sword through his chest.
Jasper tugged the sword back from the Warrior's body before squatting down and wiping the bloody blade on his leather jacket.
"Is that it then?" Alice huffed as she stood up from finishing off the last warrior with a knife in the man's throat.
She looked over to Jasper, her eyes dark with bloodlust while her lips parted as she panted. He didn't say a word but stared at her, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked her over. I felt like I was intruding by watching them and looked to my Bella.
"No. It's not even close to the end," Bella sighed, looking back to where the Volturi's lair was.
I took in the sight of my wife.
Winded and covered in blood spatter as she looked around us in exhaustion, but still ready for another wave of fighters to take on. Her eyes were wide and her lips were parted. The black waterfall of her hair was tousled and tangled around her shoulders. She looked like a beautiful Greek princess. She was mesmerizing to behold.
"We should move," Jasper panted, opening his arms as Alice came running to his side, wrapping her arms around his waist.
Bella nodded and looked at me, her eyes dark and shimmering with her dangerous frame of mind. I held her gaze and took a couple steps towards her.
"Edward!" she gasped before running and smacking into me, our armor pieces clanging together as we wrapped each other in our arms.
I tried not to laugh but I did crack and smile, holding her against me as Alice and Jasper began talking quietly to each other, most likely trying to come up with a plan to find safe shelter.
"What do we do now, Bella?" I whispered into her ear, leaning my head against hers and pressing my lips through her thick hair to reach her ear.
She took a deep breath and looked over her shoulder at the fallen Warriors. "I don't know," she murmured absently.
I knew she was silently mourning them and I tried not to get offended by it since it was absurd to be sad over such savages that you only knew for maybe a month or two.
I lightly pulled her to my side and away from the battlefield to catch up to Jasper and Alice who were hissing at each other... as if nothing had changed.
I looked down at Bella, watching her eyes dart all over the place in front of her as we walked briskly away from the Volturi's place as she thought. "What are you thinking about?"
Her frantic eyes settled onto me for only a moment before looking back in front of us. "Where to go."
"Any ideas?" I asked, somewhat worried that she knew of nowhere safe to go.
"Yeah. One." She looked at me.
