Thanks ;) On with the chapter!

Chapter Thirty Seven

The Land Time Forgot

"You can close your eyes to things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to things you do not what to feel."

Spirit Quest

Charlotte Cullen

We had gone for days, searching and searching for the Lake of Truth or where ever we were going, quite frankly I did not care anymore, I was tired and hungry and down right sick of this journey. It felt almost hopeless when we realised that the Lake was further than we thought, alot further. It meant that Benjamin was now on edge again, Leo and Seth were acting like over protective dickheads and Judeyah was getting more agitated by hour as he realised that the Lake was further and further than we had once thought.

"I don't get it! The Lake should have been here! It should have been here!" Yelled Judeyah in frustration towards Benjamin. I saw Benjamin's face crumble and look heartbroken at the dry and barren land scape. We had ventured out of the forest more than twenty four hours ago and we had not eat or slept since then on Judeyah's word that the Lake was not much further and we could reach it if we carried on running for a little while.

The group stopped, Seth in his wolf form and me holding his clothes as I rode on his back, gripping his fur securely to stay on his back. I knew he was also tired and as much as it pained me to ride him, I was shattered and he knew that. I knew that even bearing my slight weight for him was a challenge as we had ran for the past twenty six hours none stop with no food in the baking heat of this desert like, barren place.

The sun was over head and there were no clouds. The werewolves were fine and Leo was also fine been a witchblood vampire and not needing as much sleep as a hybrid or shapeshifter, but the one who was struggling most and the one who could nolonger even walk was Mary. She needed food often and she had not been getting it. She needed water, but there was none around. She needed more sleep than us all and yet she had not been getting that either.

"We need to keep moving. We have to save Madison." Benjamin said to Judeyah.

"No, Benjamin. It's no good saving Madison if we lose any of the others. Look at Charlotte, she can bearly stand. She needs sleep and to go hunting. Look at Seth, he is exausted and yet still battling on but he needs sleep too! And Mary. Look at Mary. She can't even stand. If she doesn't get water soon she is going to die Benjamin. This isn't just about Madison. It doesn't matter if we get there tomorrow or in a thousand years. We will get Madison back for you but for now we must rest!" Leo said to Benjamin. Judeyah's eye brows shot up and Benjamin sighed heavily.

"It appears you are right. We will set up camp here for the night. Me, Leo and Lottie will go hunting, Leo and Charlotte for blood and me for meat. I will bring back the meat and all of us who eat will eat the meat. Seth, I want you to get a fire started for when we get back so you can cook some meat for you and Mary. Me and Judeyah prefere raw meat. Charlotte may want some meat also. Judeyah, I want you to take Mary to the watering hole. It is maybe a mile west of here, but you can hear the slow trickling of the stream. Has everybody got what they are doing? Good. Let's go." Benjamin turned to walk back the way we had come, I stood with Leo and he held his hand out to me. I took my brothers hand and we began to run slowly towards where we could smell live pray.

It took us maybe an hour to find prey that would satisfy our hunger, but to my supprise east of where we had travelled from there was a very large grove, it was over some mountains in a hidden pass that Benjamin seemed to know well. He hopped over all of the rocks and dodged all of the tree's as he ran within the grove, chasing a dear. Within a second the animal was dead as he quickly snapped it's neck. I walked over to the poor creature and stroked it's fur, Benjamin watching me.

"If you want take the blood, the meat will not be affected." He said to me. I looked at the animal, it's black eyes empty as I looked into them, it's aurburn fur so soft and thick under my hands. I brought my teeth down to meet its jugular and then began to drink. The thirst went away almost instantly and secretly thanked Benjamin that I didn't have to make the effort to kill the poor animal as I hated killing them, but somehow I could never not kill the animal. Neither could anybody else exept Madison.

I don't know what it was with her, but there was something special with her, whether it was her second power or just some kind of special connection she had with the animals, she was just special.

I turned around to see Leo who was now covered in blood stood behind me. "You done?" He asked

I nodded, looking around the very dense undergrowth. I didn't like this forest, there was something eeiry about it, something magical as if time had forgotten this place. I watched Leo looked a little on edge as well, and then he looked to Benjamin. Benjamin blinked and whispered. "You feel it too."

"Yes, I feel it. The... well. I don't know what it is. It's just strange." I murmered feeling obliged to speak quietly for some reason.

"I feel it too. It's something... something... I've only felt this but at a lower level when Mary or Madison were practicing spells. Mainly Mary as Madison only joined in sometimes but when the two of them did it together, the aura was magnificent. This is what the magic feels like... only this place magnifies is a thousand times." Leo said

.

I shivered at how low and quiet his voice was, the forest, so beautifully quiet was magical in its complexity. The tall tree's covered in moss seemed to be melenia's older than anything I had ever seen, and the pure aura of the forest was as if it was alive. Then I froze.

Out of the corner of my eyes I saw something glisten, I don't know what it was but as I stared, Leo jumped back and pulled me with him screaming as he did.

"Run!" Benjamin yelled as I realised what was chasing us. The creature looked very familiar, it galloped with a forocious intensity and I realised that the animal was a horse with one minor difference. On it's head lay a single, long spiral shaped horn. The horse was pure white and galloped at us again, Benjamin stood infront of me and Leo protectively.

"These are the guardien's of the forest, pure spirits that present themselves as what you would call Unicorns. There are other guardiens closer to the Lake that look like Pegasi, a horse with wings! I'm such a fool! This is where the Lake is, I should have known! The mountain pass, the tree's, the magic and now the guardiens of the forest. They know we are here for something, but as we killed they think we are here for a bad reason." Benjamin said, staring the angry animal in the eye and watching as it growled at him very unhorse like.

He took the carcass in his arm and layed it down on the forest floor saying Latin what I vaguely understood from Uncle Edward's latin classes all those years ago,

"Qua pecude, quod non sanguis in manibus meis,
Ne occidas curam mei magnis dis
Sit cælum, et scient omnes inmortalem animam suam benignitate
Et secundum hoc frater fratri gratias carnes oblationis
di, precor, et hodie non visitabomeam in sanguine hostiæ pro fratribus"

Benjamin spoke those words and as if the horse.. Unicorn.. understood, it bowed it's neck and turned away, galopping off into the forest at a pase that asstounded me. I looked to Leo and he whispered to me,
"Let the blood of this animal be not on my hands
Let the great gods take pity on my kill
Let their immortal soul know heaven and his bountiful goodness
I take this offering of flesh from one brother to another in thankfulness
And I pray that the gods themselves will not punish me this day
For my brothers sacrifice in blood that I take"
Leo shivered and then said, "It was a prayer to the gods. That horse thing... it's a god. What the hell was that Benjamin?" Leo demanded to Benjamin.

"Those guardiens are there to watch over that lake, only the purest souls get to the lake and only the most forgiving are aloud to leave this forest alive. We are even lucky that the guardian accepted my prayer at all. We need to get back to the others and come back here. We are going to need their help to get through the forest." Benjamin said, and I knew without a doubt that he was hiding something from us. Something crucial that he had figgured out and something he was not sharing with us.

War Quest

Renesmee Cullen

"What the hell is happening, Mom. Just tell me! I'm not a child anymore!" I yelled to her, she sighed defeated and then looked to my father who nodded.

"Renesmee, listen. The Voltouri have many more people than we ever predicted would be on their side. They have more vampires joining them as we speak, and that is not all. We didn't plan for the war to start till we had all of our allies, but if we postpone the war the voltouri are going to make more allies than we ever thought possible. We need to go to war on the next full moon." My mom said, rubbing her temple as if she was stressed out.

"When is the next full moon?" I asked. She looked again to my father who stepped forward and one sentence that would change maybe even the fate of this family.

"The full moon is in seven days." He replied bluntly. I took a sharp breath in and realised that we had not planned this war until the second full moon, now we had to move the war forward for weeks or we would not be able to defeat the voltouri.

"But... what are the chances that we will all make it... I mean... we don't have Madison or Benjamin or Charlotte or Leo or Judeyah... they all have immense powers that could be useful, especially Madison and Benjamin..." I stuttered and then my mom's face crumpled as she realised I mentioned Madison.

"Madison is dead Renesmee. Do you really think that they are going to bring her back? Really? How are they suppose to find the last necromancer by looking into a lake. They will come back empty handed, you need to stop believing that life is a fairytale and grow up! We are in a war and all you have been doing is acting like a child since we set off!" My father yelled at me. I saw my mom glare at him and I felt tears spring to my eyes.

"You don't know anything! They will bring Madison back! I know it!" I screamed and ran out of the tent towards my dad. He looked guilty in an instant butI didn't care. He had hurt me and I just wanted to get away from him.

I ran into my tent and into the arms of Jacob. He grabbed my sholders and realised I was crying saying to me, "What's wrong?"

He pulled me close as I sobbed, "M-my -da-d been a d-dick." Jacob growled low in his throat and I heard him mutter something along the lines of 'damn bloodsucking leech.'

I stiffled a giggle as I still felt like crying, I let Jake hold me close as he stroked my hair softly. "You know, Nessie. I was saving this for after the war when everything was going to be happy again and everything was put right, but out here it seems that honestly we have no chance of a tomorrow, so I'm asking you now." Jacob said, and then he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a slightly tattered red velvet box. He cleared his throat and began, "Renesmee Carlie Cullen, I've known you your whole life, I've loved you from the second I layed eyes on you but only in the past years have I truely fallen in love with you, and I now realise that even if we don't have forever, I still want you for that and I know that no matter how much time we have together, eternity will never be long enough because I love you, so, Miss. Cullen, will you marry me?" He said opening the red box. I took a sharp intake of breath and wiped my eyes, clearing them to look at the ring.

The ring was beautiful, the band was silver in colour but I could see that it was white gold, Engraved in the ring was a single vine with small flowers that were made of diamonds embeded in the ring to look like clusters of rosed. I gulped down the lump in my throat and opened my mouth but no sound came out.

"Please don't leave me hanging." Jake said desperately, the smile on his face changing to worry. As soon as I heard his voice it was like a switch turned inside me head and body.

"Yes! Yes I will Jake!" I cried happily as happy tears now ran down my face and I smiled like an idiot. I raised my hand for Jacob to put the ring on. He took the ring and then grabbed my hand softly, placing the ring on my wedding finger, then slowly he pressed his lips to each of my fingers and then let his lips linger on the palm of my hand. I felt a shiver run through me and I pressed my lips to his, his familiar lips moving with mine as I breathed in his amazing scent and knowing that this was the man I was spending forever with.
