Sorry guys! I was going to post this right after the last chapter, but I was typing at my aunt and uncle's shop and then I left, so I forgot to save it. I had to retype the whole thing! I was also busy for the hunter test and everything…

Ready, Get Set…
In about an hour, we reached Paris and hopped off the plane to meet the French Coven.
After an hour's drive in a cozy limo that Felix somehow stole, we arrived at a large mansion in an upper-class part of Paris. It was at least twice the size of our castle in Volterra, and completely made of shimmering white limestone and marble. The entire guard got into formation and Demetri rang the doorbell. He then stepped behind Felix and Santiago.
A small vampire girl who was around fifteen years old opened the large carved mahogany doors. She had long, curly blond hair and looked like one of those stereotyped 'popular blonde' teens. Felix frowned down at her. Aro didn't mention anything about her.
"What's your name?" Felix asked politely.
The little girl glared up at Felix. She tossed her hair and said, "My name's Beth. But since I don't know you, you have to call me Elisabeth. And who are you?"
What a stuck up little brat.
Says the stuck up little brat… with benefits.
A sporty-looking vampire in a tracksuit with a sleek brunette ponytail came to the doorway.
"Who is it, Beth?" She asked in a soothing, honey-like voice.
The brunette looked up at us. Her beautiful face contorted into a sneer.
"Ah, the royal brats are here. Luke! Call the guards! Tell Anne to bring Taylor!"
Three burly looking men, a blond normal-looking guy, a redhead, and a tiny baby came to the door. The guards around me cooed as Taylor's power took over them, but I was unaffected.
"How about we move this to the backyard," The brunette said.
"Let me introduce myself," The sporty brunette said in a cheerful tone after we came into her backyard. It was like she believed that she wasn't going to die in a few minutes. "I'm Katherine. That's my mate, Luke, the redhead's Anne, that's Elisabeth, and the guards are Daniel, Michael, and Je-"
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Santiago lunged at Katherine, and the fight began.
Alec and I jumped on Daniel. We were careful and didn't even have to use our gifts!
Felix attacked Michael and Afton and Chelsea formed a team against Jesse.
The funniest of all the battles was the one between Renata and Anne. We could all tell that Anne was a spectacular fighter, but she was losing the battle badly because of Renata's shield. Anne's confused expression almost made me laugh out loud. Almost.
Soon, the air was thick with smoke and Katherine, Luke, Elisabeth, and Taylor were the only vampires left. As we closed in on Katherine and Luke, Elisabeth tried to divert us.
"Little tagalong twins!" She jeered. "The only ones without powers! Come and get me!"
I snarled at her and was about to attack her when Alec put a hand on my arm. The rest of the guard froze. To everyone else, it looked like a sign of weakness, but I knew what it really meant.
I calmed down and let the 'Witch Twins' work their power.
"You mean you've never heard of us?" Alec asked with a small smile. "You've never heard of the 'Witch Twins' before?"
Katherine and Luke looked at us with confused expressions while Elisabeth sneered at us. Taylor gargled.
"Now you've even come up with a stupid name for your stupid powerless selves?!" Elisabeth cackled with disbelief.
I took over for Alec. Elisabeth was more stupid than Heidi!
"And, I assume from you attitude, you must have some spectacular power, right?" I asked innocently.
"Wha-that's not the point!" Elisabeth growled.
If Elisabeth was still human, I be that her cheeks would be redder than a potato right now. Or tomato. Whatever.
"Hypocrite," Alec muttered.
"Well, she's wrong anyway," I whispered back.
Elisabeth stared at us from across the field. Katherine looked uneasily between us. Smart one.
"Elisabeth, my sweet child, don't hurt them too much," Katherine said with worry in her eyes.
WHAT?! How could she even touch us?! I was wrong to think that Katherine was smart.
"Hey, Bethie!" I yelled. "Want to see what we can do?"
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Demetri smile. Heidi hid a giggle and I involuntarily smiled at their responses.
"There's our Jane!" Demetri mumbled.
"First, my name's Elisabeth. Second," Elisabeth prattled on. "It's not like you guys can even do anything. Go ahead."
I smiled widely. She couldn't be more wrong.
"Pain," I said, 'tuning' my power up to maximum pain.
Elisabeth shrieked and fell to the ground. She writhed in pain while her screams echoed across the meadow. Even baby Taylor turned to stare at me, wide eyed.
I let go of Elisabeth. She lay panting on the ground.
"My turn," Alec said as he stepped in front of me.
Alec closed his eyes and a mist came out of the palms of his hands. Elisabeth was soon enveloped by the mist. She dropped to the ground, limp.
"Her senses are gone," Alec said harshly.
Katherine finally spoke up. "What are you planning to do to my daughter?!"
I had to fight a snort. Daughter. Really.
No one even bothered to answer her. Katherine cradled Taylor more tightly.
"Felix," I said in a singsong voice.
As Felix dismembered Elisabeth, Alec withdrew his power. Elisabeth felt all the pain.
"Katherine!" Elisabeth cried out. "Katherine! Luke! Help!"
Katherine did not spare a glance for her supposed daughter. Instead, she stared at me.
Afton, Chelsea, and Heidi stepped up. I could see Afton and Chelsea trying to use their powers on Katherine and Luke.
"We would like to offer you a position in the Volturi Guard," Heidi said. "If you choose to join us, your lives will be spared and you will be helping us keep the vampire world in order."
"Would it save Taylor?" Luke asked quickly.
"No," Heidi said with a sad face. "I'm sorry, there are no exceptions to the newborn rule."
"Then we are not joining," Katherine said.
Afton and Chelsea shrugged their shoulders and joined the rest of the guard.
"I'm sorry it has to end like this," Demetri said.
"I'm sorry, too," Katherine bared her teeth.
Before I could realize what was happening, Katherine and Luke disappeared. Taylor dropped to the ground with a plop.
I ran and picked up Taylor before Katherine could reclaim her. Dumb immortal child.
I could feel some force tugging at my arms, and, in return, I tugged back. I could tell that Katherine was trying to get Taylor, but she gave up soon.
Suddenly, a flash of movement caught everyone's eyes. I turned around quickly and saw pile of dry grass being stacked in the center of the field.
In a flash, the pile of dry grass was on fire. I had forgotten all about Luke's pyrokinesis power. By now, the entire guard was on the lookout.
We could easily be ripped apart and quickly thrown into the fire.
As I turned back around, I heard a whisper in my ear.
"Give me Taylor," Luke whispered in my ear. "Or you will die."
I was originally going to do the plane ride and entire fight in one chapter, but I decided to put this up already and type the next chapter later. Go on my profile and vote for what the topic of my next story should be!
