Chapter 10:

Bella's POV

Her red hair was flowing in the breeze. Everyone was stunned. Why would she come alone? She would certainly die. Or was she alone?
"Bella, I see you're no longer a weak human." Victoria said. "Edward finally decided to change you did he?"
"When Laurent found you, you were alone." Edward's eyes narrowed at that. He still felt bad for leaving me. "That's too bad now isn't it? I had a big plan to torture you, but those things only torture humans and I don't have time to make any big plans now, fortunately for you."
Edward throat ripped out a growl. No one was speaking. I guess I have to, she is specifically talking to me.
"How do you plan to beat us, eight to one, Victoria?" I asked.
"Eight to one?" She asked. "No. No. You are mistaken. It is more like eight to fifteen." She replied.
Oh that must be why Edward was upset. He knows there are others with her.
"Where are the others then Victoria? I don't see them." I asked.
"They are out in the woods, my dear. You are all going to pay for taking my James from me. And I will avenge my dear friend Laurent."
"Victoria, I am giving you one more chance to run and never come back." I said.
"Sorry dear but it is you who will never be coming back after this fight." She replied. She was extremely sure that she would win. Not with my new found gifts though.
"Never." Edward growled.
"Edward, Edward, Edward." She said. "Don't you think it will be fairer this way? Mate for mate. I do. You took my James, and I will take your Bella. You are lucky that I didn't attack when you were changing her. I didn't because I wanted all of you to suffer because of Bella's mistake." She cackled.
"And what was Bella's mistake?" Edward spat.
"Well, letting you love her of course. Oh and see smelled way too good. Poor James couldn't resist the game and look what happened to him. You turned against your own kind for a human." She growled. "Enough talking. Let's begin. It was nice knowing you all and the way you chose to live was interesting to watch, but it is over now."
I could smell the others now. They still had a slight smell of blood lingering on them, so they must be newborns. Jasper had told me about them before.
"I will take Victoria, the rest of you can get the newborns and I will help you when I am done with her." I whispered to the others.
"No. I will get Victoria." Edward whispered back.
"I will be fine Edward. We don't have time to argue but you can help me if you want. You would be more useful helping the others." I said.
"Is everyone ready? They are coming." Carlisle said.
Victoria emerged from the woods with fourteen newborns behind her. The newborns were growling ferociously. I was ecstatic. Victoria is going to die.
The newborns began to run at us and Victoria lingered behind them, waiting to lunge at me. This made me angry, she was too chicken to come at me straight on. I had enough strength to push my shield outward. I weaved it along the curves of everyone of my family members. I know they will be safe now. I quickly weaved it over myself as well because I would have to concentrate harder on shielding than fighting now. I began to walk over to Victoria. A few newborns came my way and I quickly beheaded them. Nothing could stop me at the moment. I was on a path of destruction. When I reached Victoria, we began to circle around, waiting for one of us to make a bad move.
"Bella, Bella, Bella. You've come to fight me, alone? You are newborn too, you shouldn't have done that." She said.
I ignored her comment and started thinking about how to go about attacking her. I couldn't just jump at her because she is expecting those sorts of newborn tactics. I realized that the other part of my gift could help me too. I could manipulate her to stay still and not move while I dismembered her. I began to concentrate and stretch the feeling to her. I could tell in her eyes that it was working. She was stunned. Finally she just stop moving and stood absolutely still. I took the chance and walked up to her.
"Goodbye Victoria." I said before I beheaded her. I ripped her to shreds and then carried her body pieces to the fire that the others had started for the newborns. There were only a few left now and I took care of one of them.
When everything was done, Edward walked up to me.
"I'm sorry I didn't come to help you. I was extremely busy here. Did she hurt you?" He asked. He sounded furious at himself.
"Edward, don't worry. I'm fine. I love you and I understand that you were busy. I didn't need help anyway." I told him before I kissed him.
He pulled away and said, "How did you do it so easily?"
I pointed to my head and said, "My gift."
"Oh yes, thanks for the shield. You are amazing, you know that?" He said as he pulled me in for a kiss again.
"No, I'm not. But it is nice to be told that." I said. "Let's go see how the others did."
