A/N: Once again I will apologize for how late I have been on finishing this story. I have no excuses.

This chapter pretty much explains EVERYTHING! haha.

I think there will be one more chapter and then an Epilogue, so expect that in the next week and a half maybe? I'm writing this right before I'm about to leave for vacation :p

I'll try to post the next chapter as soon as I get back, because I'm not allowed to take my laptop with me on vacation, and school starts for me right when I get back! I'll do my best!

Enjoy!

Kieran POV

Immediately I felt threatened. I knew right away that I wouldn't be able to get away without a fight.

I was pretty sure that this is what Ava meant to tell me.

"So...Kieran...am I right?" He said in a sarcastic, but mischevious way.

I didn't reply. I felt my lips press tight into a thin line. I clenched my jawbone so hard it could break any second. My hands clenched into fists. I could feel myself shaking uncontrollably.

He chuckled his devious laugh when I would not respond, circling me with ease.

"Well, young one. I came into town to say hi, I hope you don't mind. I have early Christmas presents for you and your sisters..."

I had to control myself. I had to be one step ahead of him. I could see how easily fooled Delilah was. His sadistic attitude and cold-hearted tone of voice did not fit in his body. I wouldn't let him put a finger on my family.

"You see, there is some unfinished business I must attend to, but first, there are other things I need to take care of..."

He stopped circling me and turned around to face me with his vicious grin.

"I sense a weakness in you, young one. You still seem as if you are a fool, blinded by loss and heartbreak."

My head immediately snapped up. He must have been watching me the whole time I've been here.

The shaking was becoming harder to control. I couldn't breathe evenly and my thoughts were racing.

"Kieran...you must be calm. You must defeat him..."

It was Ava again. I would do anything for her.

All of a sudden it was like a force of energy took over me. Magic...a low growl came out of me, and the next thing I knew, we were fighting head-on, wolf to vampire.

Arabell POV

It was a happy day. Everything seemed to be in place again, except for new experiences and events taking place in the neverending timeline of our lives.

This happy day was soon about to end.

"Where is Kieran?" Mom asked. We were having dinner with Sam and Emily at their house with the rest of the pack, and he seemed to be the only one missing.

"I'm not sure," Delilah replied. "I know he's not on patrol, that's for sure. I told him as well that we were going to have dinner here."

"Well, I hope he will come around soon. I heard there's a heavy snowstorm coming tonight."

Something felt odd. I had a gut feeling that told me that I couldn't let this go...that something bad was going to happen.

My vision blurred. I felt a tingling sensation start in my fingers, all the way up my arms and down to my legs. I felt light-headed and even though I felt a vision coming on, I was never plagued this badly by fear and horror for what was about to come next.

The vision started out very blurry. I could only make out the silhouettes of two people. As my vision started to become more clear, I could see that it was Kieran, standing in the middle of an empty field near the graveyard. The snow was coming down quickly each minute that passed, as another man circled him with a haughty expression and swift movements. Right away my senses told me that this was someone not to be taken lightly, because he looked dangerous with that piercing stare of his...

He seemed familiar...like someone had described him to me before. He was pale, with a tall muscular build. He had short, curly brown hair...and blood-red eyes.

It had to be who Delilah had described to me. It was Ben...the one who tried to kill her in the alley.

And now I knew from his stance and the snarl that came from between his teeth as he crouched...that he was going to attempt to kill my brother.

Kieran's shaking frame transformed into a huge, muscular wolf with short, copper-tone hair. He was twice the size of Ben, but Ben seemed quick and on his feet.

As soon as they collided into each other I snapped out of the vision.

My breath was ragged and uneven as I fell to the floor. Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran right up to me. My vision became blurry once again and the best I could do was make out shapes. My ears wouldn't stop ringing.

"What did you see?" My mother yelled frantically. I felt her warm arms wrap around me, pulling me away from the floor and into her hold.

"Kieran..." I whispered horasely. "He's in danger."

"Where?" My father burst forward and pressed his hot hands to my cheeks. The heat wasn't helping how hot I already was.

"Near the graveyard, towards the field where Adrian and I used to play when we were younger...it's Ben..."

The whole pack made way to the door.

"Mom." I croaked. "Something is happening to me. I have never been this hot..."

I could only focus on the sounds that surrounded me. The creaking of the door as each man ran out. The noise of running water...

and the noise of Delilah as she took in a sharp breath, and her footsteps as she ran out the door towards the wolves.

Delilah POV

I never stopped to take a breath. I could hear the cries of Emily and my mother to come back, that I wasn't safe.

Ben wanted me. I wasn't sure why, but I wasn't about to let him ruin the happiness that had just come into my life. I had slowly, but surely made progress, both mentally and physically.

Just wait until he sees that I'm in one piece again.

I wanted to fight him off. He was the last of the unfinished buisness I had to take care of before I could live in complete and utter happiness, my family as well, and I knew I couldn't live without Embry.

Though, once I made it to the field I had a surprise of my own.

An army of vampires in white cloaks surrounded the entire field. They outnumbered the wolves two to one.

It was just like the dream that Arabell explained to me before...

I scanned the field until I found Kieran, fighting off the cruel man that had haunted my dreams for weeks on end.

I couldn't stay out of this. This was my fight too.

With a deep breath and a quick round-up of all of the determination I needed to face my enemies, I made a headstart for the vampires closest to me.

Seth was in the middle of decapitating one vampire when another made his way to strike a surprise attack by jumping onto his back. I sped up and pounded into the vampire who fell face first into the snow-covered ground. He easily rolled over so that he was on top of me and grabbed my neck, an evil laugh which sounded contorted and out of place.

It was then that I felt empowered, brave, fearless.

"Delilah it is me, Ava. I am with you."

It was Ava, speaking to me through the whispers of the icy wind of the brewing storm.

I stared the vampire down and with a devious smile I brought up my legs, kicked him off of me, pounded right back onto him and twisted his head off of his body.

"Silly vampire, didn't your mother ever tell you not to mess with pretty girls?"

I moved onto the next one, and another one, until I had brought down four vampires in the course of three minutes. I was on a roll and I have never felt more angry and enfused with such keen and powerful energy.

The wolves then started to notice that I was in the fight, and they tried to push me out.

"No! This is my fight too! I'm not leaving!"

It was Jared who growled at me with his fierce stare and strong stance.

Just then a female vampire pounded right into his side and he flew five feet into a pine tree on the edge of the woods.

Without hesitating I picked up my pace and ran for her. She saw me and a wicked smile crept onto her face.

"Are you sure you want to do that, little girl?"

"Who are you calling little, you two-faced piece of shit?"

"Oh, sweetheart," She chuckled. "Now you're gonna get what you deserve!" She crowed.

We both ran right for each other, but as she jumped into the air with her arms outstretched to grab me, I had already guessed her strategy as I jumped and flew right under her, my right leg coming up to kick her in the torso, and I watched as she flew backwards into a large rock that surrounded the edge of the field.

She quickly chose a new strategy, because almost automatically she was back on her feet and we were walking in a circle with a ready stance and quick eyes.

"Hmm...not bad for a little girl like you." She giggled, though it sounded wrong coming out of her body.

"You underestimate me greatly."

"Oh, maybe I do, but I can see right through you. You are a fool for coming here and presenting yourself to Ben. You are supposed to be dead. You just made our job much easier."

That caught me off guard for only a second, before I saw both my father and Sam sprint towards her.

I sped up, and with ease I kicked her into the air once more, where my father leaped and grabbed her torso in his mouth. He pounded back into the ground and with help from Sam, he tore apart her shrieking, stone cold body piece by piece.

I landed back into the snow in a crouch, and the last two vampires left were Ben and his second leader in command.

For only just a half second I could have sworn that he took a double take when he saw how strong and together I was again. Then his mouth twisted into a wicked grin and he took a step towards me.

"Well well well, I see you decided to come and join the party! How nice it is to see you again!" He said with an obviously fake laugh.

"Oh really? I thought I was supposed to be dead in an abandoned alley way because of your orders to kill me? Obviously the first time didn't do the trick."

I threw him off guard once again, his expression growing colder and harder every second. He took another step towards me.

"Well, you see...that is why I am back, though this time I plan to take your brother and sister down with you as well."

"Why are you doing this? What is your reasons for us to have to die? To leave this place where we have never bothered anyone or stuck out as different?"

"Because, your race is the start of what is to come. Vampire blood is supposed to be pure, not mixed with the posion of some werewolf! And let me add that the power of our race can't possibly be shared between covens of pure vampires, disgusting werewolves, and mutulated hybrid babies. It will surely cause the discovery of what we are and it will simply throw all the covens out of control in a frenzy for their own share of power...or even all of it."

I didn't know what to say. It felt as if I had to die for nothing even remotely necessary.

"You see," he continued. "The first step is almost halfway done. Your twin the weakling is lying tired and frail behind me. His pain will soon end though, so no worries, my love."

I let out a soft whimper as I saw Kieran's crumpled frame lying a few feet away from Ben, his breathing short and ragged.

I tried to make a run for Ben, when two of his accomplices ran out from behind the trees and took hold of both of my hands. I frantically glanced around the field. More vampires flew into the field and pounced onto wolves, shrouding them away from me and Kieran, as helpless as could be, with no other options left but to face what was to come next.

"Wait! What has become of you? You fooled me greatly, and I can't even begin to tell you how much of a sick, twisted person you are."

He chuckled his fake laugh again, circling Kieran and with that sick smile on his face he kicked Kieran in the ribs, causing Kieran to squirm and twitch with more pain.

"You see, my darling, this job of mine has been planned out for years. Once the Volturi were defeated by your parents and your precious Cullen family I knew I couldn't roam this earth without having a sense of control over you foolish and bubble-headed hybrids and other, ehh...revolting species." He said as he kicked Kieran in the ribs once again, this time resulting in Kieran howling out in sheer pain.

"Stop!" I screamed.

He didn't though, he just walked back around to face me and sighed with ease.

"So I joined this coven which quickly formed after the fall of the Volutri, and we rounded up the most powerful vampires who in which had agreed to join us. For example, there is a member of ours right outside your friend's house right now...causing your lovely darling sister to fall into a coma."

I screamed again, but this time one of the two vampires that had a hold on me clamped a hand against my mouth.

"We have even harmed your cute little human friends. You remember Ava...right?"

I couldn't hold myself together any longer. I kicked and shrieked until the other vampire that wasn't clamping my mouth shut struck a blow to my cheek. I could feel the sting of the cut and the smell of the blood as it ran down my cheek.

"Well," he continued on. "I was an accomplice to another vampire who was ordered to run into her parents car after we had seen that your twin brother was in the car. We thought it would be an easy and convincing way to cause his death, without any suspicions. Of course, you and your twin must have nine lives, because you just won't get out of my hair!" He bellowed, laughing obnoxiously.

"Too bad his little lover died. Of course, the man that I was an accomplice for got his head twisted off and thrown into the pits, and I took over his job. And now I finally have the chance to finish you and your weak, mutulated family for good!"

I closed my eyes and felt the tears stream down my cheeks.

"Embry...I love you."

I waited for the moment to come, when my life would be over and I would be waited upon by my grandmothers Elizabeth and Sarah who would come to take me away, but instead I felt the icy wind whip through my hair as my wolf jumped into the air and pounded down onto the vampires that had a hold of me. I turned to see that the 2nd leader in command of the army was suddenly ambushed and beheahed from behind.

My courage and strength came back to me at once when I realized I wasn't going to die.

All the anger that had built up from everything that had just spilled out of Ben was boiling inside of me. I turned back around to look at him. He was speechless and automatically he fell to his knees.

"I see you have made good on your me." He yelled, laughing hysterically in between sentences.

"Take me!"

I ran right to him, pounced onto him and twisted his head all the way around until the rest of his body fell into the snow and his head rolled into the cover of the trees.
