Thanks you so much for your reviews I can't even tell you how awesome I think you guys are.
"Are you ready for this?" Edward asked me as he walked across the green meadow towards me.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I told him taking a step forward so I could walk right into his embrace, loving how perfectly I fitted in his arms and against his chest. I lifted my head up and looked around at all of my friends.
Jasper stood with Alice in his arms rocking her gently and stroking her face, his hair rustled in the wind and his eyes sparkled with so many strong emotions, Jasper looked nothing short of an angel. Holding Alice like that he looked like an angel seeking revenge.
Hector stood over Jasper looking down as Jasper's heart broke slowly, Hector watched as the man he once admired hope broke as his need for revenge grew at an alarming rate. Hector himself looked like the picture of ease, everything about him screamed calm and collective, the way he stood and stared, the way his hair swayed in the wind and the way his hands slipped into his jeans pockets. I took comfort form Hectors stance, Hector was always calm and if he was still calm I took it as a good sign that we weren't in a large amount of trouble.
I turned my head slightly so I could find Esme and Carlisle. Carlisle stood with his arm wrapped securely around Esme's waist as if to support her weight as she leaned heavily against him. Esme looked like she could dissolve into tears if only she could, her eyes darkened in sadness as she watched Jasper holding Alice. Esme's children were risking their lives and she couldn't stop them, I knew Esme wanted to rip Maria apart piece by piece for doing this to her family, I could see it imbedded deeply in her dark eyes the hatred that someone like Esme never should have. Carlisle the strength of the family looked to be only holding on by a thread. He stood strong holding on to his wife but like all vampires his eyes gave it away, he too watched his son and daughter on the ground with darkened eyes.
Emmett and Rosalie were wrapped up in their own little bubble; they were trapped in a very passionate lip-lock and were completely oblivious to everyone and everything around them savouring their semi private moment. Finally I looked up at Edward only to find him staring back at me, his topaz eyes smoldering.
"I love you." He whispered in my ear before kissing me.
"I love you too." I said back leaning against his hard chest.
"Jasper if everything works out fine Alice will be up and running in no time." Edward said to Jasper, I saw as Jasper looked up and attempted to give Edward a hlaf-hearted weak smile.
"Are you two ready to go?' Hector asked Jasper and me. I nodded my head and kissed Edward one last time before I walked over to Hector's side. I looked around and saw the Cullen family move towards each other, Edward only coming forward to take Alice from Jasper arms.
"Remember only interfere if necessary." I said to mainly Edward, who nodded his head reluctantly.
"Please don't get yourself killed." Edward whispered to me the light in his eyes fading quickly into black.
"I won't." I had to wrench my eyes away from Edward's face before I could move. Jasper and Hector were already standing up and ready to go face Maria once and for all. I ran over to them and grabbed each one of their hands before we sprinted into the forest together. We weaved effortlessly through the trees as if we were one entity. I never lost my hold on their hands; I needed to know they were still with me and that they were confident we would win. I looked ahead and saw in a clearing Maria stopping all other seven stopping behind her.
"They're coming I can hear them?" She said menacingly.
"But I can hear two, usually we cannot hear Lily." I heard Jesse say to Maria. I stopped and pulled both of their arms back so they stopped.
"We will walk out." I whispered so quietly only they could hear me. They both nodded their heads and together we walked into the clearing. Standing there was Maria in all her glory, her brown hair was falling free along her face, her red dress whipping around her knees. Nicholas and Jesse were standing at her left and right, both stock still and void of any emotions. Josh, Anya, Vienna, Kendall and Henry stood in the back all of them grinning triumphantly like they had already won. When would they learn that being confident hardly ever helped you win.
"Jasper?" I heard Maria gasp in shock.
"Maria." Jasper responded dully nodding his head at her.
"You're alive." She whispered walking forward, a bad move on her part. As she took a step Hector took a step also and let out a loud feral growl. Maria stopped moving in shock and stared between Jasper and Hector.
"Well I see you've made friends with my newest second in command, Jasper." Maria said to him before winking. I felt Jasper shiver in disgust at Maria's attempt at flirting.
"Let's just get this over with Maria, what do you want?" I asked forcefully not feeling like dragging out this encounter any longer then it had to be.
"I want you and Hector to come back and work for me and since Jaspers here I want him to come also." She said smiling a little bit too sweetly at Jasper. I saw Jasper open his mouth to scream his retort back at Maria but I placed my hand on his arm and shook my head, it would be stupid to start screaming at Maria.
"We are not coming with you, so I suggest you leave before we have to rip you apart." I said calmly. Jesse and Nicholas both started laughing at my comment.
"Do you think you could defeat us all Lily?" He sneered laughing in my face.
"Yes I do and it's Isabella to you." I said politely back, feeling Hector tense up beside me. "You might want to stop laughing." I said to Kendall and Jesse, my anger starting to rise.
"Why what are you going to do about it?" Kendall said laughing at me.
"Kendall." Maria said in a warning voice, but I watched as Hector's patience snapped and he took the situation into his own hands. In movements too fast for Kendall to respond to, Hector ran forward and ripped off the laughing man's head before throwing it to the ground and flicking his lighter on. I watched in shocked silence as Kendall's blond locks lit up in purple flames. No one moved to attack Hector as he walked back to my side.
"Very good, very good," Maria purred at us clapping her hands. "I'm glad you haven't lost your talent and temper." Maria started to take slow steps towards us moving gracefully her bare feet grazing the ground only slightly as she moved.
"Come back to me Jasper we could be the perfect team again." She whispered to Jasper. "I miss you Jasper." She purred before reaching up with her free hand and stroking the length of his cheek. Jasper's eyes were narrowed and his whole body ridged, his fists clenched into little balls of fury, I could feel his muscles coling getting ready to strike.
"Don't you touch my husband you bitch!" I heard Alice screeched as she came flying out of the forest at a speed I couldn't even manage. Behind Alice walked out the rest of the Cullen's in all their glory. I caught Edward's eyes and was trapped like a fly to a spider's web. A deafening snap came from my left, followed by a pain filled scream, which brought me back to the situation at hand.
"I will take your other arm if you even think about Jasper ever again." Alice said shooting daggers at Maria, if we weren't about to fight for our lives I would have laughed at the situation in front of me. Maria stood a good hal a head above Alice, but it was Alice that looked like she could massacre an entire village.
"You dare." Maria said quietly to Alice advancing towards the pixie haired vampire. Jasper moved quickly grabbing Alice's waist and spinning her behind him before throwing Maria across the clearing.
"If it's a fight you want Maria it's a fight you are going to get if you ever go near Alice." Jasper said breathing deeply. I took this as an opportunity to search for Edward again. I found him standing only meters away from me, his normal topaz eyes; flat black. Feeling my eyes on him he looked over and his whole face softened when his eyes fell on mine. I beckoned him to come to my side with my eyes and let a sigh of relief escape my lips as his strong arms wrapped around my waist.
"I see you've found a mate Jasper and Isabella." Maria said coming towards us. "I can't wait for you to watch them die." To us those were the magical words, everyone went into a crouch and the battle had begun.
YAY! Next chapter is the big fight. This story is beginning to wrap up, I know it's sad, but I have a poll on my profile where you can vote for the next story I'm going to write. Personally I love both the stories that I am writing. I have no favourites.
Please review!!!
