Okay, sorry it's been a while. I had this entire chapter finished when my electric suddenly went out and none of this saved! I was extremely ticked off. Also, this chapter is short. I'm going to try and update more because I'm out of school. I won't be able to update the 20-25th of June (next week) I'm taking my horse to a camp where we learn how to herd cattle and do other fun stuff! IT IS GOING TO BE AWSOME! Anyways, to Vampirefairy13: Actually, I started reading New Moon on accident. I went to Walmart to look for something to read and picked it up thinking it was good. I had not clue it was the second book of a series! So, naturally I had to read Eclipse, Breaking Dawn and then Twilight to come into a full circle haha.
"You're not going." Jasper said for the millionth time. It was starting to make me mad.
I crossed my arms and glared at him. He was a few inches taller than me and that was annoying when I had to glare up at somebody instead of down or across at them. Glaring at Alice always gave my self-esteem a boost. "Why not, Jasper?"
"You're a newborn!"
"I'm fine around people and my eyes aren't red anymore." I pointed out.
"You still will act like a newborn in battle. Trust me, I know. You know how I got these scars."
"Well, teach me to not act like a newborn when I fight."
Jasper sighed and ran a hand through his honey-silver curls. "It isn't that simple you're going—"
"Jasper, we need all of the help we can get." Carlisle said approaching his son and laying a gentle hand on his shoulder. "And if you still don't feel comfortable letting her fight we'll make her stay home."
I could tell Jasper still didn't like it but he said, "fine."
I smirked at him smugly.
"You really shouldn't smirk like that. You look like Rosalie."
"Well, then she should smirk like that all of the time." Rosalie said coming down the stairs, looking elegant even in a pair of jeans, sneakers and a blue tank top. "Because, I'm drop dead gorgeous."
"Damn right!" Emmett said smacking her butt as he jumped down the last few stairs.
"Let's go before they start ripping their clothes off." Jasper said heading for the door.
I followed, Emmett's laughter contagious as he followed me.
When we got to the clearing Emmett and Jasper immediately began sparring. I stood by with the others and watched.
I saw some movement out of the corner of my eye and turned to focus on it. The wolves had arrived. There a lot more than I could remember ever seeing before. I recognized maybe five of them. There were at least ten in this field.
Not even moments later Edward appeared, Bella on his back. He let her down and she went over to Jake in his wolf form, and laid with him.
I had to turn away. I couldn't be made at Jake, or Bella. I was a vampire and we couldn't be together. He was just confusing me with wanting to try to make it work then yelling that it won't work.
"Sam, are you ready?" Jasper asked the big black wolf.
"Yes, but we are going to stay in our wolf form. We feel more safe that way." Edward said for Sam.
Jasper nodded. "Very well, then."
I watched them fight with interest. Jasper more or less dominated everybody with the exception of Edward and Alice. Alice stood perfectly still as Jasper dove for her. In an instant she took on step to the left, right, forward or backwards. Seeming to slip from Jasper's grasp. Before Jasper knew it she was on his back, her lips on his neck.
"Sarah, can you come out here please?" Jasper asked after sparring with Rosalie, who didn't look too happy about loosing.
I walked toward the center of the clearing.
"As you know Sarah is the newest member of our family. She doesn't know anything about fighting. Watch what she does because this will be what happens when a newborn comes at you." He turned to me, crouching and told me to come at him.
I sprinted forward, arms out stretched reaching for his throat. I sprang into the air, I was going to succeed! He was just standing there! Before I knew what was happening his hands grabbed my throat and slammed me to the ground. The impact didn't hurt, it was just startlingly loud. He roughly hauled me so I was kneeling in front of him, his hands yanking my chin to the sky.
"That was a typical newborn move. Don't ever let a newborn get behind you, you will die."
That was reassuring.
"Now Sarah, feint, jump, flip or throw punches and try to get my neck like I had yours. In this scenario I'm going to be the newborn."
Jasper came running at me, teeth bared, a terrifying growl emanating from his throat. His clawed hands reached for me. I smashed his arm to the side and ducked under his arm. I stepped around him, but soon he was facing me again. I stepped my leg around him and karate chopped at his neck, tripping him over my leg, sending him sprawling onto the ground.
Quickly I knelt and grabbed his hair and exposed his throat. "How was that?"
"That was fairly good. You need some work though."
I stifled an eye roll and went to stand by Emmett. "You're pretty fast." He said to me. "You might be faster than Edward."
I watched as Edward and Jasper's forms blurred as they sparred in the clearing. Before my eyes could focus Edward had Jasper by the throat. "Nah, he's definitely way faster than me."
Emmett seemed to consider this before nodding. Then he called out to Jasper who was observing the group. "Hey Jasper, I bet I can take down ten newborns before you!"
"You're on."
Sorry for the short chapter. It's just a filler. The next one will be preparations for the battle and then after that the battle itself. Then probably the epilogue. Questions? Ask away.
