Chapter 10: The Battle (Part 1)

APOV (Alice)

The silence was frightening. All the noise that filled the air was the steady breathing of werewolves. I looked up in the window to see the silhouette of Bella standing there. We had turned out all of the lights to hide them. I turned back around to face the woods stretching before me.

"It's too quite."

Emmett whispered into my left ear. I nodded and shifted my weight. I was getting nervous now. Jasper placed his hand on my shoulder trying to calm me down.

"Here they come. Brace yourselves."

Esme said to all of us. I could feel everyone stiffen as well as myself. We could feel the ground start to shake and my eyes drifted towards the horizon. There appeared Victoria and her newborn army. Thousands of newborns outnumbered only seven of us and a pack of werewolves.

"Well, well. Look what we have here. Only seven of you, and thousands of me."

Victoria snarled at us. Her eyes flickered to each one of us until she stopped at Edward.

"Where's your girlfriend? I'm sure my army would love a little snack."

She said smiling wickedly. Edwards muscles tensed and he curled his upper lip behind his teeth.

"You touch her, you'll never see the light of day again."

He said. Edwards voice was sharp and icy. Emmett placed his hand on Edwards shoulder but he shook it off.

"That's too bad. I really wanted to get a little taste of something… I don't know… meaningless?"

Victoria smirked. Edward lunged towards her.

"Edward, no!"

I screamed. But then…

… Jacob bounded out of the woods to help Edward. He jumped on Victoria before Edward ever got to her.

"Good doggie… nice doggie…"

Victoria said with a nervous giggle. Jacob bared teeth and let out a low deep growl. Esme looked around at everyone then raised her hand.

"Now!"

She yelled. We all charged for the newborns. Jacob and Edward decided to take care of Victoria. I charged for a newborn and slammed into them. The newborn whirled around and bared her teeth at me. I hunched over into my fighting position and she did the same.

"I'm not afraid of you."

The newborn smirked. I raised my eyebrows and tensed my muscles.

"You should be."

I growled. We lunged towards each other and our bodies clashed with a loud bang. We ripped through each other for about five minutes until Sam came and helped me.

"Thanks Sam."

I huffed. He gave me a nod, and we ran off to help Rosalie who was backed up against a tree with three newborns on her tail.

"A newborn! He's headed for the house!"

Esme screamed. Edward swung himself around, and his golden eyes were wide with fear.

"Bella!"

He said frantic. Jacob turned his head towards Edward and spoke.

"We'll take care of the newborns. You go and help Bella."

Edward nodded and we all headed for the house to save Bella, the baby, and Charlie…
