(Author's Note: Sorry this was a few days late, I was busy with some other things. Enjoy chapter 25. Oh, and there seems to be some confusion with the last chapter, so I should clear that up. Aro only showed Carlisle pictures of the Cullens looking like they're doomed, when it may be the opposite. This just shows how manipulative he is.)
(EDIT: I would also like to take a moment to say FUCK THE SOPA AND PIPA! THEY WILL DESTROY THIS SITE IF THE GOVERNMENT PASSES THEM!)
"Well, Carlisle?" Aro asked. "What are you going to do?"
Carlisle didn't say anything. He thought of all the time he spent training his family.
They're all able to transform. There's no way they could go down so easily! I saw them train…they've all worked so hard…they…
He looked at Aro, and he could see that the leader of the Volturi was in a good mood, but when he looked into Aro's eyes he clenched his fists.
This guy's completely evil…I can't trust anything he says. Besides he's only shown me pictures of Emmett, Jasper, Alice, and Bella.
"What about Edward and Renesmee?" he asked out loud.
Aro smiled, as if he had already won. "I'm glad you asked. Show him, Demetri."
Demetri clicked on one of the tabs on the screen, and they could all see what was happening.
"Is this happening right now?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes, it's live."
They could see Renesmee entering a room, and shivering as soon as she stepped in. The room had boxes stacked up in the corners, and weapons scattered across the floor, but everything was frozen solid.
Renesmee stared at everything around her. She noticed a sword with sapphires on the hilt, and she bent down, and tried to retrieve it, but she couldn't, no matter how hard she tried. Suddenly, she stopped, and she tried to move, but she couldn't.
While she was distracted with the sword, the ice on the floor had crept up her body, and now, she couldn't move. The only thing she could do was watch as the ice crept further and further up, until they reached the top of her head, and sealed her inside what felt like an ice coffin.
Carlisle had no idea what happened next, because Demetri minimized the window, and restored another one.
"Here's Edward," Aro said.
Carlisle turned his attention back on to the screen, and this time, he could see Edward opening a door, and stepping into a room. This room was empty (compared to the last one), except for a metal pole (like the kind you see at fire stations) in the right corner, but there were red laser beams everywhere, like something out of a spy movie.
Come on, Edward be careful! The doctor thought, as he watched Edward looked around. Don't do anything stupid!
Edward seemed to realize that if he touched the beams, it would set off an alarm, and then an enemy would come. He tried his best to avoid the laser beams, but it wasn't easy. He paused for a second, and he looked distracted, as if he could sense something terrible about to happen.
Because he wasn't as focused as he was before, his finger touched a laser beam, and then, an alarm started blaring.
What happened next went by very quickly. Somebody slid down the metal pole, and when the person landed, Edward could see that it was Tanya, and she didn't look very happy to see him.
Demetri minimized the mindow again.
"I'll say it again Carlisle," Aro said. "Your family is doomed, and you know it. Join me."
Carlisle didn't say anything. He wasn't looking at Aro this time. His eyes flickered over to Chelsea, and he had a bad feeling about what was going to happen next.
Emmett ripped the head off the body, and the remains of the last guard fell to the ground. Lilith stared at him in awe.
Holy shit! He's definitely changed since the last time I saw him!
Emmett was still in his transformed self. He turned his attention to Lilith, who was still staring at him.
"I'm so glad you're here," he said. "Now I don't have to search the entire castle for you."
And now, I can finally avenge the murder of Rosalie.
His rage grew. Maybe it had something to do with his new form, but he had never felt so angry in his life. Now that he was here, looking at the vampire that killed the love of his life, anger was all he felt. He wanted to make her pay for taking away the most precious thing to him.
He rushed forward, and Lilith took out her whip, but Emmett was one step ahead of her. He used his super-speed to run behind her. Lilith turned around in time, but Emmett gave her a kick to the abdomen, before she could do anything.
Lilith dropped the whip, collapsed to her knees, and coughed up blood. Emmett grabbed her by the throat, and threw her across the room. She coughed up some more blood when she hit the wall, and landed next to Felix.
In a flash, Emmett ran to the body of a fallen guard, search his pocket, and found a lighter. He ran to Felix, and burned the body, right in front of Lilith.
"That's how you're going to end up," he growled. "Burnt to a crisp, just like him. That's what you'll get for killing Rosalie."
No! Lilith thought. I… will… NOT… die by your hand! I still have…
She reached into her cloak pocket, and her fingers touched a small leather pouch. Then she took her hand out of her pocket.
I can't use that now! She thought. I don't think it will work on him, in his new form. How…
"How did you get this kind of power?" she asked.
"You know, you should worry more about yourself, than me," Emmett told her. He grabbed her by the throat again, and slammed her to the wall, which reminded her of the time she did the same thing to Esme.
"You saw me doing this to Felix," he said. "But unfortunately, I didn't get to finish, so I will have to continue with you."
He took her hand, and he twisted it, until he could hear a cracking sound, which indicated her wrist being broken. Lilith winced in pain, but Emmett didn't really care. He took her arm, and forcibly bent her elbow in the wrong angle, away from her body. There was another crack.
Oh crap! I think he broke my elbow! The assassin thought. He…He's really changed! This time, he's stronger, and so much more…warlike…
She looked into his eyes, and saw his desire-to-kill look, that she normally had.
Emmett continued to torment her for what seemed like a very long time. Instead of ripping her arm off, like he originally planned to do, he started punching her in the ribs, abdomen, and basically anywhere that causes major discomfort. For Lilith, it was hell. The pain and the hitting continued, but that wasn't the worst part. She kept on thinking back to that day in Forks, where she was fighting him.
If I killed him back then, I wouldn't be in this situation right now! She thought bitterly. But I also remember why I couldn't do it. It…it was all because of Rosalie! She just had to interfere! If she had just stayed out of the way, Emmett would be dead!
That bitch! Even in death she's taunting me! But…not anymore…if I give up, and let him beat the crap out of me…then she has already won!
She took out a kunai, and tried to stab him with it, but Emmett was too quick. He leapt back, and avoided the hit. "Well that was unexpected," he remarked.
Yeah, it was Lilith agreed silently. The element of surprise should've gotten to you, but you still managed to dodge it.
"It doesn't matter, I suppose," Emmett said. "Either way, this is your last fight." And Rosalie, you'll finally be avenged.
No, it won't be my last fight! vowed Lilith. This time, I'm really going to kill you, like I should have done!
She ran towards him, and threw more kunais. While he was dodging them, she threw a smoke bomb at him. He dodged it, but Lilith didn't give up, she threw some more smoke bombs at him, and all around him, so that he would be caught. Then, while he was occupied with the smoke, she quickly ran to the other side of the room, and retrieved her whip.
"All right you got me, but it won't happen again."
Lilith turned around, and saw Emmett out of the smoke. She rushed forward, and tried to cut him into pieces with her whip. Emmett was able to avoid the attacks, but he noticed that something was different this time.
He was starting to get a bit tired; he could feel changes going on inside him. He wasn't feeling as murderous as before, and he thought he wasn't as fast or strong as he was.
What…what does this mean? He wondered.
That's all for now! Oh, and one more thing: FUCK THE SOPA AND PIPA !
