„Gabriella Amber Hale, you are not thinking about going into battle, are you?" Mommy asked me. "Of course I am. This is my battle too. I don't want to hide when my friends all suffer because of me." I said. "But you're too young. What if something happens to you? What if you die?" Mommy said and daddy made her feel happy again. "Mom, I have Embry. He will have my back. And I have a very powerful gift, I can protect myself with it." I stated and cracked my knuckles. "Ok. But you have to promise to block yourself with Bella's gift. That way the Volturi can't harm you." Daddy said and I nodded. We hugged for the last time. "I love you guys so much." I said and felt a few tears sliding on my cheeks. "We love you too Gabs." Daddy said and they both kissed me. Embry nudged me with his nose. "And I love you too Embry." I said and ruffled his fur. "And I love you too, young one." I heard Alistar say behind me. I rolled my eyes. Couldn't he get the memo that I was taken? And the battle began.
We started off running towards them. The guard was only coming. The 3 leaders were staying put. I blocked my mind and ran towards Demetri. He was a tracker, I could sense it. I knew that Embry had to have my back. He promised that to my parents. So I ran towards Demetri and at the last second, jump high in the sky and hovered over him. I learned that with my gift. It was pretty useful. "Get down, you little brat!" He yelled and jumped. But I was too high up for him to reach me. I laughed and made the ground swallow him. I knew that the ground wouldn't hold him, but It would buy me time. I let myself fall next to Benjamin. "We have to make a gorge. To separate us from the Volturi. Big enough for them not to get us." I whispered and he nodded. We both hit the ground at the same time. A gorge opened up. I made my allies float so they wouldn't fall in to the lava. Some of the guard fell down. Some escaped. If I didn't have my gift, Bella, Garrett, Maggie, Tai-lee and Jon would have fell into the gorge.
"Gabriella, you have to make lightning appear. The humans will get suspicious when they hear the battle!" I heard uncle Edward yell from the other side of the gorge. I nodded and consentrated. I imagined a lightning storm above Forks. And when I opened my eyes, I saw a lightning bolt hit a tree. I turned to the Volturi. Aro was looking at me confused. I guess he found out about my powers. He started walking towards me. I willed my skin to run an electrical current strong enough for Aro to be blown to the other side of the field. He stood in front of me. "Your gift is amazing child. If you would consider to join us we could call off the battle. I was pissed off.
"Aro. Can't you get it that our family will never join you? Or do I have to shock you to get the memo into your head? Comprende?" I asked him. "Well, if that's what you want." He said and started to get nearer to me. I started to walk backwards, a little afraid of what he would do. But at that moment when he was about to strike, I saw a flash of fur before me and a fowl of pain.
