(Author's Note: Sorry this is so late. I was busy, I had to re-write some parts to make sure everything was perfect. Plus, I was reading the Kane Chronicles.)
The vampire guards fell to the floor. Jasper and Bella continued to run.
"I don't smell them here," Bella said. "But this castle is a big place, we should continue the search."
"Right," agreed Jasper. "We're nearly through with the second floor, after this, we'll go to the third floor."
"Edward, we have to land!" Alice said. "I…I see something!"
A vision! Edward thought, as he did what he was told. "What is it?"
I'm not sure, Alice thought back I saw a bunch of guys in armor, and one of them pointed his sword at me, I tried to swing my sword, but then I fell to my knees! I tried again to swing my sword at him, but I couldn't….and then my vision went black…
"That's definitely NOT good," Edward said. More enemies attacked him and Alice, but they reacted very quickly. Before they could reveal their abilities, Alice stabbed one in the forehead, while Edward slashed another one in the legs, forcing him to kneel. He knocked the sword out of his enemy's hand, and he slashed him in the neck. Then, he ran to another enemy, he stabbed him in the stomach.
Alice slashed another one in the face with one sword, and she slashed again with the sword in her other hand, cutting off half of his face. She talked as she fought some more attacking vampires.
"I think," she said, while she slashed a vampire in the abdomen. "I think it has something to do with what I saw before."
"Yeah, I'm listening," Edward said, as he dodged another vampire's battleaxe.
"Right," Alice said, knocking an enemy's sword out of his hand, and then stabbing him through the mouth. "You know what I saw before about 'our dark future' back when Esme died, and what I saw about war in Volterra when I was almost killed by Lilith…I think this new vision means…"
She paused to slice another vampire's head off. "This means 'our dark future' is death; we might die in battle. And when I couldn't swing my sword…that meant I didn't have any energy. Carlisle said transformations use a lot of energy…I think this vision means we might die in battle if we use up too much energy...I'm sorry if this sounds kind of dumb…but I thought we might be able to avoid dying if we save some energy…I mean…"
"I get it Alice," Edward said, as he gave a vampire a deep cut to the shoulder that reached his shoulder bone. "It's not dumb, Alice. Wanting to avoid death is natural. Besides, we can still kick ass while we're on the ground."
Ok, Alice thought. But I can't die here!...I hope this is one of those times when my sixth sense is wrong…
She glanced around, and saw loads of fallen vampires on the floor, lying in a pool of their own blood. But at the same time, she saw ranged weapons, flying straight at them.
"Geez, those things are annoying!" she said.
She and Edward both pulled out the last of the arrows and bolts out of their back, and arm, and they threw them at the mid-air arrows and bolts. The arrowheads of the arrows they threw collided some of the incoming arrowheads, causing them to fall to the ground. Then, they used their swords to slice the incoming ranged weapons in half before they could hit them.
"Cowards! Edward muttered, as he cut more arrows in half. "Using arrows and bolts to keep a distance! They can't even fight me up close!"
"If they can't come to us, I'll go to them!" Alice said. She tried to run, but she couldn't move. She tried again, and still…no luck. She looked down at her feet, and saw the ice around her legs.
"Alice!" Edward called. "The ice! It's crawling up my legs!"
At that moment, loads of vampires rushed at them, with their weapons raised and ready to kill. They knew that defending themselves would be useless, since they couldn't move.
Alice used one of her swords to break the ice, but instead of doing any damage, the ice crawled up the blade and handle, freezing it.
Edward pointed a finger at the vampire with brown hair. "She's trying to freeze us, not completely frozen though, just enough so that we can't move."
"We have to fly then!" Alice said. They spread out their wings, and flapped them. Edward and Alice concentrated their energy into their wings, until a cracking sound was heard. They looked down at their legs, and saw the ice breaking. Without a moment of hesitation, they shot up in to the air.
As soon as they were mid-air, one of the vampires put his crossbow down onto the ground, he took out the backpack (that he was carrying), unzipped it, and he took out a fuma shuriken.
He threw it at Edward. The shuriken flew through the air, toward him. As soon as it was within one yard of him, the fuma shuriken transformed into a vampire with honey blond hair. The vampire took out a longsword, and he swung it at Edward who dodged.
I can see into his mind, Edward thought. This guy…he can transform into non-living objects…
"Alice!" he called. "I'll deal with him!"
"Right! And I'll deal with the ice vampire!"
Alice quickly ran to the brown haired vampire, who took out her sword, but Alice was so fast that she was able to cut the metal blade off. The enemy didn't seem to be bothered by this, because her blade started to reform, but with ice instead of steel.
"Let's do this!" the brunette vampire said. She swung her sword, but Alice managed to parry the attack. The vampire held her hand forward, controlling the ice on her blade, and making the ice crawl over to Alice's blade, but Alice pulled away before her sword could be frozen.
She then moved quickly. Alice swung her sword, aiming for the enemy's hands. The brunette vampire didn't have enough time to react as Alice sliced off her hands. The sword fell to the floor, and blood poured out of her wrists.
"You fucking bitch!" the vampire shouted. "How dare you do this to me?"
Alice thrust her sword forward, and when she did she used all her strength, allowing her to stab the brunette vampire in the heart. The vampire coughed up blood. Her eyelids drooped, and she fell to the ground.
Alice turned around, and she saw many vampires ganging up on Edward. The blond vampire was lying at his feet, with blood trickling from his mouth, and Edward was using his longsword to hack and slash his way through them.
The vampire archers continued to fire ranged weapons at them. Alice ran to them, ignoring the arrows and bolts that hit her. She increased her speed as she ran, and the archers didn't have enough time to react. The last thing that some of the vampires saw was the silvery blur of Alice's sword as she swung it at them. Alice then ran over to the archers, and she sliced their bows and crossbows in half. Then, without any warning, Alice ran behind some of the archers, and she stabbed some of them in the back, and she also cut off some heads. The archers turned around, and the ones who didn't get their weapons sliced in half aimed them at her.
"Wait! Wait!" she said. "Instead of you firing arrows at me, I'll throw arrows at you."
Before the archers could respond, Alice pulled some bolts and she threw them at the archers. While they were trying to dodge them, she ran forward, and she sliced more bows and crossbows in half.
She started to run ever faster, slicing more bows and crossbows in half, the archers couldn't keep up with her. Soon enough all but one, had their bows and crossbows ruined. They started to throw their arrows, and bolts at her instead, but Alice knew that she had already won this. She leapt into the air, and she landed behind them, and she sliced off some heads. The other vampires turned around, and they threw (and fired) their weapons at her, but she ignored them, and she slashed, stabbed, and sliced off their limbs, until there was only one vampire left-the one who still had his bow. Alice pulled out some bolts, and she threw them at his face.
While he was trying to dodge, she ran behind him, and she stabbed him in the back. He coughed up blood, and he fell to the ground. Alice laid her sword down on the floor, and she took the bow and quiver from him. She saw that the quiver was only one thirds full, so she pulled out all the arrows from her back, shoulder, and arms and she stuffed them in there. Then, she pulled the bolts out of her body, but she left those on the floor. She slung the quiver over her back, and she ran to Edward.
A bunch of vampires were ganging up on him, he was still fighting like crazy, but more vampires were attacking him, trying to outnumber him. Alice loaded her bow with arrows, and she started to fire at the enemies. They were stunned for a second (because they didn't expect to be hit with arrows), giving Edward a chance to cut off their heads. When they got over their shock, they tried to attack the Cullens, but Edward and Alice made a very deadly melee/ranged team. More vampires fell, but while Edward and Alice was fighting Kyle, the most unexpected thing happened.
Carlisle opened his eyes. He groaned. That had been a really hard hit, and his face still felt sore. He made a mental note that Edward was definitely going to pay for this later. He then sat up, and he looked around the room.
"What happened here?" he yelled angrily. "What's with all the fallen vampires? It's just Edward and Alice for crying out loud! You've already out-numbered them! And you can't even beat two 'vegetarian' weaklings like them? YOU GUYS SUCK!"
Alice stopped firing, (but Edward kept on fighting). "Carlisle! He's awake!"
"Oh yes, I'm awake," he replied. "And I'm going to kick your ass!"
But before he could do anything, the double door opened, and Kate, Garrett, Elezar, and Carmen walked in. All of them were wearing full-body steel armor (except for helmets), and they all head weapons (Kate had a longsword, Carmen had a steel staff, Elezar had a spear, and Garrett had a flagrum). All of them had their eyes on the Cullens (except Carlisle), and they looked murderous.
Alice opened her mouth to speak, but then she closed it. She knew that this was all Chelsea's doing. Even though she had a bad eye injury, her mind control was still intact. Anger built up inside Alice. She wanted to rip Chelsea to shreds for forcing her friends to become Volturi soldiers, but at the same time, she felt sad (and frustrated) because she couldn't undo what Chelsea did.
"Heh heh heh…It's time to end this," Elezar said. "We will kill Edward, and hand you over to Aro, and we know we won't fail…because you're weak. You don't have the guts to attack us because we were once friends, but not anymore! And as for us…well, we can attack you…"
Garrett rushed forward, with his flagrum raised. He was about to flick it at Alice, but he stopped the moment the double door opened.
Alice smiled when she saw who it was.
"Jasper! Bella you're here!"
That's all (for now), folks!
