The Battle Begins

Three days, that's all I had until this great creature that I and the rest of my family have been warned about. Not sure if we were to take him seriously or not, constantly checking in with Alice; Edward kept an extra close eye on me. The rest of the family were always on the move, searching the grounds and the town, I even alerted Jacob, whom I have not spoken to in a while, that something big might be happening in the next couple of days. Yet, it all did not matter, I saw what was going to happen, I was just puzzled that Alice has yet to see what has already been decided for me. This battle, for some strange reason, seemed to be my destiny, my fate; just like it is for Edward and I. However, I still did not understand who I am am. What makes my child and me so important and powerful, that only I will be able to destroy this threat. I let out a sigh, and went to go to the bathroom, but Edward had his arms wrapped tight around me.

"And where do you think you going?" He asked me, with a smile, but not his normal smile that I love so much, this one was concern.

"It's time to get up, I am hungry and I need to go to the bathroom, plus I want to take a shower," I said, he let his arms loosen, but not with out a deep passionate kiss on the lips.

I must have been in the shower for much longer than planned, because when I came out and looked into the bedroom, Edward was sitting on the bed with a tray of food. There was orange juice, eggs, bacon, toast. All my favorites just the way I like it. I smiled and walked over to him, but I guess you can say that I have begun to wobble.

"MMM," I took a piece of bacon, "what is the occasion?"

"Nothing, I can't pamper you and the baby every now and again." He said, laying the food down on the night table.

"Oh," I said with a bit of surprise, "She's kicking." I walked over to Edward and grabbed his hand, placing it on my bare belly.

I know he felt that one, it was hard, right up front near my belly button. I looked down at his face, his eyes were sparkling, this was the first time that he really felt her kick, "Boy, she seems to be alive and excited for something, must love that her daddy is taking such good care of mommy."

I placed my hand on his, to move it to another spot, then I froze, shocked at what happened. I saw the battle, the creature, the wolves, the vampires, all together. This was going to be bad, and the worst part it was going to happen right here at the house. "Bella, what's wrong, what do you see?"

I just shock my head, trying to clear it, "Edward, I need to finish getting dressed, get everyone, we need to talk." I kissed the top of his head, he knew that what ever I saw was big, he did not even hesitate to leave.

"Alice," I said quietly, barely a whisper, but she was they in just a moments time.

"Bella, what's wrong, Edward asked if I saw something," She came in looking right at me, she actually looked scared.

"Alice," I started, I knew that I had to try and do something to protect my family. I have only been able to get visions off of Alice, but never been able to give her one of something that I saw, I am just hoping I can get her to see it. I took her hand and placed it where the baby is still kicking, "Focus Alice, please."

"Ohh, I felt her kick," Alice smiling away, this was also her first time to feel her, she was just as excited.

"Yep, she has been very active this morning, but I need you to close your eyes and focus, let her and I show you what I saw."

Alice closed her eyes, letting all her thoughts drain completely, focusing only on me and the baby. She tightened and stiffened up, I knew that she was seeing what I saw. Her eyes shot wide open and she feel down in pain, holding her head screaming. I knelled down and wrapped her in my arms rocking her. Over and over she kept saying one word, no!

"Come on, Alice," I pleaded, "we need to get down stairs, I already told Edward to get the family."

She nodded, standing up, "There is no way I will be able to block my thoughts on this one from Edward. Jasper, he is going to feel everything." We made our way down to the sitting room, with me actually having to support Alice for a change.

Jasper sensed our pain immediately, he came right up and wrapped his arms around Alice and gave her hug, whispering in her ear. I did not need to know what he was thinking or feeling, because I already saw and felt the pain. Edward came up behind me and picked me up in his arms, "What did she see?" I just shock my head.

He placed me on the sofa and I looked around, almost everyone was there, "We need the wolves here. I think Alice and I will only be able to say this just once." Edward, just nodded, handing me his cellphone, I dialed Jacob's number. "He said that he will have everyone here at in the woods behind the house in 10 minutes. All of us will need to be there to greet them, that includes me." I looked straight into Edward's eyes, already seeing the pain and confusion.

Edward picked me up, and as a family we walked through the woods, I knew that from my vision that I did not have much time. I kept looking over at Alice, she is the only one that knows what is about to happen. I don't even think Edward picked up on it yet, which means she is trying hard to block what she saw. We formed a semi circle, with Edward and I as the center point; the wolves walked out of the clearing, Sam and Jacob as the lead. I knew that there was no time to waste, so I just started.

"Something big is coming, it is not a vampire. I have no clue what it is. This thing is powerful, strong, and all of you will get hurt," I was barely able to hear myself, tears starting to grow in my eyes. I turned to look at Edward who was holding me close. Looked at Alice, who still appeared to be in pain. Jasper, trying so hard to calm all of us down. I just knew I had to keep going though, if the vision is correct, this threat will be here at anytime. I let out a deep breath, "I am begging all of you, to please be careful. My visitor that I had a few nights ago said that this was my battle, I will be the only to stop him in the end. Just keep him occupied until I know exactly what my motherly instincts are."

"He's here, Bella," Alice let out another cry of pain and feel to her knees. All of us on guard, looking into the dense forest, not sure what we will find. Out of no where, there was a shake and banging like thunder, one of the wolves was thrown against a tree. This threat did not waste no time at all to start something that I, nothing but a human, was going to stop. The vampires had me in a tight circle protecting me, the wolves, moved in closer too and took guard around me as well. We all knew what this creature was after, and death will have to be at our door knocking before he will be able to touch her or me. Everyone knew what they had to do, it was instinct. Now to wait for my instincts to kick in, just like the Elder John said.
