Goddess
"Weather witch…"
"Eight minutes Bella" Alice warned me from behind.
It was almost time now. We all made our way up to Canada to British Columbia near the ocean, many miles away from Fort Nelson. I looked over to my left and a half a mile or so down the hill was the giant blue. Perfect, I smiled! It will aid in my conquest to make them stop I thought smugly.
After the revealing of my plan and power I, Edward, Jasper, Carlisle, Ken, and Vladimir talked over the plan some more. They all had their own suggestions about what could make our plan more unique. Jasper especially; he was a pure genius when it came to planning. He had fought many wars during his time in the south and we were lucky that we had him. Alice was overly anxious since she lost the ability to see what would happen during the battle but was eventually calmed by her husband; literally. Everybody else was downstairs while the six of continued the refining of our strategy. They were all getting to know each other better and discussed the talents that some of them possessed. Garrett took a liking to Kate's ability to shock him to the ground. I think he might have been the only one there that enjoyed it. It seemed like more though; something was definitely starting to bloom between them.
Our discussions went long on into the night until our plan was finally what we thought anyway, fool proof but still with risks. However, we discussed a great many "fail safe" operations just in case certain things wouldn't go the way we'd want them to. About the time we had just finished up, Alice saw them coming. It was the last vision she had before we headed out. We only had two hours to get to where we needed to be. Edward thought that we should take the fight far away from Forks and I agreed. Tanya suggested a huge clearing up in Canada which everybody eventually agreed to. There was not much around there and the only thing that would be able to pick up my talent was the satellites up in orbit. I could see it now… The weather report for the next week would be worse than hell. It was an amusing thought however.
We had made it to the clearing only twenty minutes ago. We discussed everybody's strengths during the night and decided that Esme, Tia, Alice, Renesmee, Minako, Mary, and Amara would be in the very back of our forces. Renesmee especially since she was the one that would need protection above everybody else. My daughter was our shield and without her the rest of them would be easy prey for Alec. I wondered how he was since he lost Jane. I was waiting to see. Amara as well; if it should come to hand in hand she would need to use her power to hold them down with roots and such, to make it easier for the rest of us. It might not hold them for long but long enough for the rest of us to make our move.
I positioned myself in the front next to Edward and Carlisle. Edward was holding my hand and would have to be near me during the entire confrontation. There was a lot of shielding for Renesmee to do and I would have to be in constant contact with her mentally. She practiced her reflection capabilities with Edward until she could easily use his power against him and they were able to talk with each other mentally. Edward would have to send my messages and commands to Renesmee. He will also have to hold my hand during the duration of this so he could give me all the signals we discussed. Slightly pressing my hand, scratching it, rubbing it, and many more. They also included sudden breath intakes, and sharp exhaling. We couldn't just tell them verbally what to do when they needed to so we had to create all of these none interfering gestures. Everybody would know what to do when the time came.
Behind me were Benjamin and everybody else that wasn't in the back like the Romanians, the Amazons, the Irish and all the rest of our friends.
Carlisle persuaded Siobhan to use her rumored talent for a diplomatic outcome which I was against. Jasper agreed, and asked Siobhan to concentrate on willing our plan into reality since it would be of greater benefit for us all. I was watching her behind me far to the left next to Liam and Maggie, rubbing her temples and whispering. I wondered if she really had this talent. If she did, than Siobhan would have a greater power than me or any of us.
Sayuri was hidden in the trees to the west from us. A small wet mist surrounded the area she was hidden in; conveniently as always. It would hide her scent until the time came that we would most likely need her. I couldn't wait to see Aro's facial expressions once he'd see.
"Bella! Any minute now…" Alice warned me again. At any minute all of our fate would be decided and I prayed that I didn't summon anybody to their deaths. A thought suddenly entered my mind and even though it might have been the wrong time, I needed Edward to know.
I looked up to his gorgeous face and marveled at his flawless lips. His forehead had worry lines like everybody else's. Even though our plan was good, it could still fail. After three or so seconds he finally noticed my preoccupation with him and stared down at me. I smiled at him lovingly and full of passion, and whispered.
"I do" I chocked nervously. Edward's brows furrowed in confusion. I didn't think he'd realize what I would be talking about; especially right now.
"What do you mean?" he asked. I smiled at him with more brilliancy and held up the hand that wore the promise I had made to him on my birthday. There on my ring finger sat the silver and amethyst ring he had given me.
"I just wanted you to know that if we get through this today, that I will marry you Edward Cullen" I confessed. He smiled lightly and turned his head to the ground nodding. I had always hoped that there would be a happier atmosphere when I'd tell him the two magic words but this would have to do. He looked back up to me still smiling and nodded his head again.
"Well then, I can't wait to marry you Bella Masen" he smiled his crooked smile. I took his face in my palm and reached up for a quick kiss. My lips crushed against his more urgent than normally. I didn't like this kiss though. It felt like we were saying goodbye. Edward stood motionless and continued to allow me to kiss him until I finally broke off. It was time. They were almost here. The trail that the Japanese left must have worked because I could hear them approaching us from our opposite direction now.
"Showtime" I laughed weakly. Edward nodded a bit impatiently.
"Show us all what you're made of love, and I see you in five" he grinned. I released his hand from mine and with one last look at him turned my back and headed for the middle of the clearing. I walked slowly and in human speed. I looked up to the sky that was covered by gray clouds and small gusts of wind. The ocean to my right down the hill was calm and steady but it wouldn't be for much longer. Edward wanted me to show him what I could really do, well than I would certainly have to do so now.
When I told them last night about what my talent was I simply led a lightning bolt tear a tree in the backyard asunder. I guess that was enough to convince them but today I would have to unlock the cage where I had stowed my talent for so many years and unleash everything I got unto the Volturi.
I had finally reached my destination in the middle of the clearing. I looked over to my left where the mists were hiding Sayuri and nodded into her direction before turning my full attention back to the trees many yards in front of me. They were here. I had never seen any of the Volturi except for Jane, and from a distance Aro. Thank god for the Romanians, Japanese, and more importantly Carlisle. They had all given us brief descriptions about them all, and some other talents they possessed that we didn't know about.
Through the shade of the trees appeared the first Volturi whom I recognized to be Aro. Long dark hair and pale white skin; it wasn't as pale as Amolla's or Galahad's had been but white enough to know he was old. Another man with long blond hair appeared next to him who must have been Caius. From what I hear, he is a real pleasure to deal with. Heavy sarcasm ran through my system. Behind them out of the darkness and in more black robe's appeared the entire guard along with Marcus; Felix, Demetri, Chelsea, Afton, Alec, Santiago, Heidi, Renata, and many more. I figured that the once closest to Aro would be the Elite while the others were just regular guard members. It looked like we were even in numbers by the exception that they would lose Marcus soon. He looked bored and uninterested as described by Carlisle. He wouldn't be very soon, we would set him free. They had all entered the clearing, and Aro and Caius were talking amongst themselves. It was time.
I could feel the electricity soaring through my body waiting, and wanting to be unleashed. I raised my hands slowly up in the air next to me as the winds of Canada started to quicken their pace.

Edwards Point of View
They all appeared out the shade of the trees in front of Bella and I started to worry. I didn't like standing here while my love was between us and them. Even if Bella's talent was great I still worried immensely. Aro and Caius were communing mentally and had no intentions of stopping whatsoever. Whatever Amolla told them must have seemed as a great threat to them, and with Corin manipulating them…
Everybody around me was a little nervous now since our numbers seemed to be even. Benjamin was overly confident. I could see why Bella would like him; he and she had a lot in common. Speaking of the angel…
Bella slowly started to raise her arms up next to her and looked towards the sky. It was time then. For months I have waited to witness what she was truly capable of and finally I would get to see. I was so anxious. Aro and Caius continued their pace towards us with no intentions of delay when suddenly the sky cracked and white lighting shot and touched down only meters from Aro's path. They jumped back surprised and completely taken off guard. Their eyes were wide as they looked at the black spot on the grass the lightning had caused and up towards the sky. My gaze fell back on Bella with her back towards me when what seemed like judgment day began.
The winds started to increases and blew in dangerous measures. There was more cracking of the sky. I looked up to the once gray firmament when clouds started to appear out of nowhere and turned the once light day into a pitch black abyss. The darkening clouds appeared fast and stretched themselves across the sky as far as my vampire eyes could see. Another crack! Lighting shot across the still darkening clouds as the monstrous thunder was the only light we had now.
Bella had covered the entire sky with dark and threatening clouds with thunder and lightning at their arsenal. The winds seemed to be out of control now. They were strong, very strong. Some of the Volturi had a hard time keeping on their robes as the winds appeared and bellowed from all directions. I could feel it then. A sudden change of temperature in the atmosphere; it went from warm to cool, and back from cool to warm. She wouldn't be able to? Would she?
What is this? Aro thought angrily before speaking up out loud
"What is the meaning of this? How is this happening?" he asked frightened.
I could hear Bella inhale and exhale sharply and loud. It became very humid as the warm and cold fronts started to mix up with each other. Bella exhaled once more for over three seconds before finally answering Aro's call.
"The weather" she inhaled "and all of its natural elements" she exhaled "now all BOW DOWN TO MY MIGHT!" she roared and raised her arms with her palms out to the sky. From Bella's hands emanated a sort of "wind shock wave" that shot up to the sky within a second and drew a clear circle across the dark clouds the second it collided with them. It looked strange. The small "wind shock wave" touched the sky as a small circle before widening and making a quick pilgrimage across the sky until it was out of sight.
It didn't even take a minute. Far off in the distance over the forests of Canada and the ocean, vortex's started to form in the sky. Big, and fast they were as they circled and touched down. Five, thirteen, twenty one, thirty six twisters made their way down to the earth and into the water with immense speed. As soon as they touched there was a tremor in the earth beneath us and we all cringed to the feeling. The trees were violently jerked away in the distance and became part of the twisters. Bella had trapped the shocked and horrified Volturi with us here in the clearing. There would be no escape from this battle now, and Bella had succeeded into making them stop.
This was a sight I never even saw in Hollywood flicks. This was real and happening now. It was as if Bella had called out to Mother Nature herself and asked her for aid, and she responded.
Bella had jokingly called her talent "Atmokinesis". Hidden and protected within the walls of her shield was the home of this leviathan of a talent. She had confessed to me that "Atmokinesis" allowed her to manipulate the winds, the clouds, the mist, and everything else that was related to the weather. But not just that, she was able to create it out of thin air. Personally I thought it to be strange that Bella had a Ph.D in Meteorology. She thought I didn't know but I did see it one day when she allowed me to roam through her memory lane. Now however, it made perfect sense. The ocean next to us roared with a fury I had never witnessed. Even though the twisters were far out in the ocean and creating a number of maelstroms, the ocean close up seemed to be restless. "Atmokinesis"…everything that has do to with the weather she told me. Did that mean the water too?
I entered Aro's mind to check on Bella. I would have to see through his eyes to see how she was doing. There was no way of knowing if this was causing her any pain, not for me anyway. Aro's thoughts were erratic, and frightened. I saw her then, and apparently there was nothing to worry about it. There she stood, grinning mischievously and seemed to have no trouble manipulating all of this. Suddenly she moved one of her arms out, and it looked like she was reaching for the ocean. She turned her hand ever so slowly until her marble palm was on top. Bella's grin disappeared into an evil smile.
"The oceans" she inhaled "at all of their magnificence" she exhaled "RESPOND TO MY EVERY MOOD!" she screeched and threw up her index and middle finger towards the sky. Then, there was an explosion.
The water erupted from its roaring waves and exploded into the air. All of us, including the Volturi faced the giant tsunami that made its way towards the sky posting haste. There seemed to be no end to it. More and more water drained from the ocean as it made its way further towards the sky. I couldn't even begin to guess the liter amounts of the water. It rose higher and higher until it was at least over a thousand feet up in the air. It took no time at all for it to make its way so high up, I would have to guess twenty or so seconds had passed since it erupted; like a volcano. We all had to crane our necks to even see it when it finally came to a stop. It was yet another wall designed to keep them from escaping I figured. Bella was making sure they would have no exit, not even the ocean. The twisters continued their rampage unmoving across the forests, and staying in one spot; more walls. The water finally came to an almost complete stand still and all I could see were small waves making their way up and down this giant monster.
It was if Bahamut himself, whom according to myth held all of the ocean's on its back catapulted them up in the air; aiding Bella as well.
I could never command such control. Benjamin thought, and smiled.
He had given us demonstrations of what he was capable of but it came nowhere near, not even close to all of this.
This also explained why Alice couldn't see when Bella used her talent. The weather was always certain to her and she could always easily predict it. However, if there was interference and many snap decisions, the kind Bella was making right now, she would be blind to everything that was in its path.
It was calm in the clearing. The water wall sustained itself easily while the twisters raged in the distance and lighting continued to crash across the skies, and touched down in the distance. I looked back into Aro's mind; I needed to know what he was thinking.
This is impossible…there is just no…this cannot…is she? His thoughts were chaotic and gibberish. He was taken just like the rest of us. The other Volturi were the same way. They all watched the dark clouds high above and the tornados in the distance. They had never witnessed such a power and for that matter, neither did any of us.
She won't be such a big problem in a second from now. A voice thought; FELIX!
She will not embarrass us. Another voice; DEMETRI!
I searched the rows of the Volturi until I found the huge blond and dark headed vampires but by that time it was already too late. Without orders they launched themselves forward and directly towards Bella. NO!!
I growled as loud as I could and startled Carlisle next to me while I crouched and prepared to jump. I had to protect her while she focused on her talent, she might be defenseless. I didn't know that. I didn't even make it out the spot I was standing in. Benjamin grabbed my arms and jerked me into him and encircled me in his arms from behind.
EDWARD DON'T! He bellowed mentally. Was he insane? I couldn't let Bella get hurt. I tried to fight my way out of his grasp but was unsuccessful. Oh no! I didn't want to look, already six seconds have passed and they will have surely made their way to Bella by now. What was he doing? Wasn't he supposed be one of Bella's if not her best friend? I groaned with my eyes pressed together tight. She couldn't have sacrificed herself or….
Edward LOOK! Benjamin screamed in his mind at me. My eyes snapped open and into Bella direction. What the…
Felix and Demetri were dead in their tracks. They looked as if they were fighting something. They both stood still and motionless and groaned in despair. It looked like they were trying to get through an evanescent wall. They seemed to be fighting to hold on to their positions. They trembled all over and the front of their hairs, no matter how small they were blew uncontrollably in the wind? But it was calm in the clearing… Twisters, lighting, and the ocean might have been raging around us but the clearing we were in was still.
What the hell is this? Felix thought. I can't get…its like something is pushing against me. Even my eyes…its hard to hold them open… He cried mentally.
What magic is this? Demetri groaned. He was also trying to hold his eyes open but it seemed difficult for him.
I saw glimpses of Bella through their eyes. She was smiling brilliantly, exposing her teeth. She withdrew her arms from her sides and folded them over her chest. Suddenly, I don't know if I was amazed, shocked, or even…amused. Demetri and Felix were picked up off the ground and whirled around Bella once, and fast before being thrown back into the ranks of their masters forcefully. Aro and Caius were able to duck in time before the two guards crashed into Heidi, and Afton.
What just happened? Does Bella have some sort of shield? I didn't see anything. Benjamin released me from his arms and I stood firmly next to Carlisle and squinted my eyes. I used all the strength I had and channeled it to my eyes, and looked at Bella intently. How did this just occur? I started to notice something. There were gusts of wind around Bella. They were so thin that even we vampires would have to look very close and intent to even notice them.
It seemed as if they stood still but I looked closer and squinted my eyes to the point where they were almost completely shut. I was wrong. They weren't still. They were in motion, a lot of motion. These winds were going so fast and so strong that they were nearly unable to be detected. I couldn't even hear them. That devil of mine had created an impenetrable wall of wind around her to shield herself from anybody that would try to attack her prematurely. I couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
Something wrong Edward? Carlisle thought.
You okay bro? Emmett.
I nodded my head still laughing quietly. Even seeing all of this now, I still had a hard time believing it. Even if I didn't like it, Bella would no longer need my protection like she did when she was human. I understood now why she protected me from that werewolf that night on the way to Port Angeles. If she could have used this talent then, it would have been a quick fight.
I collected myself and stared with adoration at my future wife. There was no doubt in my mind now that we were going to be victorious in this battle, and Bella and I could have the future we always dreamed of.
She might be different from the fragile human that I once knew, but she was still my Bella. She was still everything that I had ever wanted without even knowing that I did in the first place. Now, here, in this clearing I finally realized how I have been blessed by heaven for sending her back to me. Bella…
Softer than an angel, and prouder than a goddess; my dream woman.
My adoring thoughts were interrupted by Carlisle who took a step forward and interlocked his hands in front of him, and smiled.
Aro my friend, it's been a long time. Let's talk, shall we?
