Chapter 25

It was finally here the day we had all been preparing for. Gabriel and his pack were hiding back at our house until they shifted. Jacob refused to leave my side at all through out the day. You could tell that the males with mates were trying to be the protectors, they were always slightly in front of the girls and always ready to attack.

We waited for Aro to show himself. I could sense he was near but it felt like he was watching us. The sun was setting and all we had to do was wait for Gabriel's pack to appear. Alice assured me this would not end the way we all would like but several will be lost. Of course she couldn't see this but she claimed it was just a feeling. I could feel Jasper trying to calm us all but I was pointless some emotions can't be changed.

"Alice is right young one; we will not be as generous as we were last time." Jacob growled at Aro as he came out of the woods followed by his army. Mom had her shield up which was really pissing Jane off. Dad I want Jane! I remembered Aunt Alice telling me about the time she tortured dad just because she could, and I would be damned if she got to Jacob like that.

"Aro it has been a long time, but not long enough. No amount of time will be long enough to make me feel good in seeing you." I practically growled at him. "Carlisle your family has truly fallen very far from the tree." Carlisle placed his hand on my shoulder, "On the contrary she is perfect just the way she is." Aro and his army continued to approach us and then I could here the sound of Gabriel and his pack running towards us. I touched Jacob and showed him that they were coming and he nodded and ran away followed by Seth, Leah, and Caleb.

"It seems that the mutts have run with the tails between their legs maybe you should join them." Rosalie stepped forward, "Werewolves, not mutts!" I was shocked that she stood up for them; maybe it had something to do with Caleb being one of them. When Jacob got back Aro was now right in front of us. It amazed me that they were walking towards us and not running to kill us.

Jacob stopped right in front of me growling daring them to attack me. A guard I have never met before jumped out towards me and then a growl burst through the field making the guard retreat. "I think you know the European werewolves." You could tell the difference between the two packs. Jacob's wolves walked on four legs and looked like big dogs, but Gabriel's walked on two and looked like hairy humans with dog faces.

Jacob took the opportunity of shock to attack the guard in front of him. Then it was all over with, hell broke loose and everyone was targeting another being. I jumped on a distracted Jane and took a page from Alice's play book and ripped her head right off. I was then shoved into the ground by another guard and was unable to get away imagine my surprise when Marie saved my life.

I sat in my dirt hole in complete shock until she helped me out, "Thanks." She gave me quick nodded and ran off the help Nahuel. I saw three vampires cornering Jacob and ran over to help. With Caleb's help we took care of the pathetic beings. After they were ripped to pieces I could see a slight smile on Caleb's face and he licked me before heading off to kill another vampire.
