Chapter 38: Nessie's POV

I needed to get away. My whole family looked so scared all the time that I felt like I was drowning in all of the fear that was around us; I missed the happy laughter that I usually heard around the house, it was now so cold and full of worry that I was being suffocated. I couldn't stand just waiting around in the living room with the rest of them, I know that momma didn't like the idea of me going off alone, especially when I was apparently going to be taken really soon, but I hated seeing them in so much pain and I didn't want them to see me upset. I sighed and placed my fingers on the piano, gently going over the notes of the song that me and daddy had written for her.

I was lost in thoughts as I tried to improve my playing, when a sudden breeze shocked me, bringing with it a disgusting rotten smell that drifted over to me as I tried to stop the papers from flying everywhere. I spun around to see what the horrible old smell was and let out a silent gasp when I saw them, trying without success to make my heartbeat slow down and keep the fear from showing.

She looked like a witch; that was really the only way to describe her as she grinned at me. Her pointy nose and chalky skin made her bright red eyes look even more bulging as she stared at me, her dark frizzy hair blowing out in the wind. I couldn't tear my eyes off her as she climbed through the window, frozen in shock and anxiety as they came closer. I wanted to scream but couldn't, it was if my throat had dried up and all I could do is breath quickly as she and another dark haired man sped over to me silently; I remembered what momma had told me about this and knew that I had to be brave. I gulped loudly and clenched my fists, their blood coloured eyes and the stench of death the last thing I remember before everything went black.

Bella's POV:

The golden haze lifted and I felt my body materialize as the scent of forest surrounded me. I quickly grabbed Maddy and launched into the air, placing her on a large branch high up a tree and telling her to stay there, she blinked a few times but nodded silently, gripping onto the bark so hard that parts started to crumble off in her tiny fists. I dropped back onto the ground just as Edward bent forward in a crouch, facing Elena and some other vampire who was holding Nessie roughly in his pale arms.

'What the fuck!' she hissed, bending into her own crouch as she stared at us in shock. 'You aren't supposed to find us! We covered our tracks!' she spat, looking at us in confusion and hatred.

'It helps to have a teleporter but never mind about that' I growled, glancing briefly at Nessie and noting that she was unconscious though thankfully otherwise unharmed. 'I'm not here to talk Elena, so hand over my daughter and I may let you die quickly you old bitch'.

She laughed and gestured to the male vampire, I stiffened when he roughly passed her my daughter and she groaned slightly as Elena gripped her in her arms, curling her claw like fingers around my daughter's fragile throat.

'Georgio, take care of the mind reader…this little cow is mine' she hissed and I had to jump out of the way when the male vampire launched himself at Edward, going straight for his throat. Sloppy sloppy, never go for the obvious kill. I couldn't pay much attention to Edward and his opponent as they fought; my gaze was intent on the crone as she held Nessie in a death grip which I was sure could kill her in a second with one flick of her wrist.

I had no idea what to do. On the one hand I wanted nothing more than to have Nessie back in my arms while on the other I wanted to rip Elena apart, limb from limb. I couldn't do anything without risking my daughter's safety and I felt torn, I was quite literally trapped.

As if by a miracle, a familiar golden light began to cover Nessie's body, her limp form fading from Elena's grasp before she completely disappeared altogether. Thank god. I assumed that Maddy had teleported her to safety so this was my opening, Elena was still glancing down at her empty hands in bewilderment before spinning around in a futile search for the only thing that had been preventing me from ripping her apart.

I flew at her with lightning quick speed, using all of my strength to hurtle towards her and tackle her to the ground. I would have assumed that being an ancient crone she would have at least picked up some skill but her moves were untidy and chaotic as she swiped at me, barely able to gain the upper hand for more than a millisecond at a time. I leapt into the air, twisting at the last minute to avoid her fist as she shot it towards me clumsily, hissing in outrage when I gracefully span over it and instead grasped her arm. I shoved my foot against her collar bone and gripped onto the pale white limb with all of my strength, hearing a loud metallic screech as her marble skin tore at the joint. Echoing screeches resounded from about twenty feet away where the blurred forms of Edward and Georgio were dancing with each other and I was relieved to see that Edward had gained the upper hand, quite literally, when he ripped one of his opponent's hands off with his teeth and spat it out of his mouth.

My attention was brought back to the pain filled shriek of Elena as I made one last tug, yanking her arm away from her body and growling as I kicked back off her to land back in a crouch. She recovered pretty quickly and I didn't have a chance to dispose of her severed arm before she flew at me, her mouth opened in a deathly snarl that reminded me somewhat of a blood thirsty shark as her venom coated teeth glimmered in the light. What she lacked in technique she certainly made up for in ferocity I briefly thought as she screeched a feral growl and aimed for my neck. I barely had time to keep her snapping teeth away from my throat and realised with a flicker of amusement that I had actually ended up thrusting her own severed arm across her jaw, effectively blocking her mouth like a muzzle on a rabid dog.

I used the new leverage to plant my foot in her stomach with as much force as I could muster, grabbing onto her shoulder and throwing her body up into the air so that she landed sprawled on her stomach. Not wasting a second as I rammed my knee into her back, holding her in place as her remaining arm scraped across the forest floor, desperately trying to gain purchase against the muddy ground. I took my chance and gripped her neck, ignoring her outraged hiss as I twisted her head roughly from her body and slumped back on the undergrowth, panting and slightly grossed out as I flung her wiry head away from me. I look up to see that Edward had already taken care of the other vampire, a pile of purple flames at his feet as he added Elena's body parts to the pyre.

I scraped the mud and leaves from my trousers, melting into Edward as he ran over and held me tight, murmuring and kissing along my jawline. I smiled up at him and took his hand before walking over to where Maddy and Nessie were laying against the base of the tree. Obviously Maddy had teleported back down with Nessie, who was still unconscious as I knelt down so that I was almost eye level with her and ran my hands through Nessie's hair, thankful that her pulse was steady and she appeared to be intact.

'Are you okay Maddy?' I whispered; I could see she looked slightly shell shocked and her eyes kept flickering back to the fire behind us.

'Yeah Auntie Bella…I was just scared for a little bit and I didn't want any of you to get hurt' she smiled faintly, getting to her feet as Edward scooped Nessie into his arms.

'It's okay now honey, we're safe but we need to get back home and help everyone else' I spoke softly, trying to keep the worry out of my voice. 'When we get back I want you to transport Nessie straight up to the playroom okay, Esme should be waiting for you and once you get there don't come back out until someone comes to get you okay?' I asked and she nodded hesitantly, closing her eyes in concentration as the golden orbs surrounded us once more, turning my view of the forest and the burning remains of Elena into a white haze before I felt myself disappear once again.

Angela's POV:

I gazed anxiously at the glowing remnants of Edward, Bella and Maddy as they disappeared in front of me. I knew what this meant; according to Alice's time line we would be expecting an attack any moment now that the distraction of kidnapping Nessie had taken place. I had been worried about her safety but Alice had assured us that no matter what happens, Nessie survives, so I felt a little better after hearing that. Even though the fear of the imminent attack from Vasilios was still there in the background, it was easily overwhelmed by my intense hatred towards the prick. I had spent the last month imagining a multitude of ways to make him pay for everything he's done to the people I hold dear and I felt a thrill of anticipation at the idea of putting an end to him.

I sighed and leant into Nahuel's chest, smiling despite the tense mood of the room when he placed a tender kiss on the top of my head, wrapping his arms around me. I looked up as Carlisle received a phone call, murmuring almost silently into the cell phone before snapping it shut and standing up with a determined yet anxious expression on his face.

'That was Anthony, he's spotted Vasilios and his followers, we should probably head outside' he explained, kissing Esme on the forehead before she herded Elsie and Zack upstairs to the safety of their newly re-enforced playroom.

We had a plan to put in motion; Anthony, Oliver, Eleazar, Emmett, Lucas, Jacob, Seth and Sam were in the forest that outlined the house, skilfully masked by Nelle, who had learnt to extend her power over up to ten people at a time over the past few weeks. They were for all intents and purposes completely invisible to all senses as they perched up in the trees; the plan was that Vasilios and his cronies would come and attack us in front of the house while the others would sneak around and appear behind them, making it impossible for them to retreat once they realised that we were far more prepared than they'd expected.

I followed everyone else outside, standing beside Paige and Jasper as we were the front line of defence; me and Paige because we were the ones with the most fast acting and apparently formidable abilities and Jasper because he was...Jasper, enough said really. Nahuel, Alice, Rose, Carlisle, Kate, Garrett and Carmen circled out behind us, dipping into ready crouches as the wolves padded out of the trees, already quietly growling in anticipation with Abbey in the front, her tiger form standing out amongst the rest. Tanya, Violet, Eric, Katlyn and Thomas were waiting in the forest behind us on the off chance that any of Vasilio's group managed to slip past our many layers of defence.

I could hear them now, they were almost silent as they moved towards us and I could tell that if we had not been aware that they were coming, we would indeed be caught by surprise. The breaths of their clothes brushing against the undergrowth were the only indication that they were approaching us…only about thirty second now I thought as I called upon my gift and felt the welcome response of my skin rippling with power, the forceful currents of water flowing through my very veins as I readied myself for the fight.

I could see them, they were murmuring amongst themselves with sadistic grins stretching their faces so they hadn't noticed us yet, I waited eagerly for the moment they would realise just how screwed they were. They had already passed the point where I knew Nelle was keeping the others hidden so I knew that even if they did try and retreat they would be unable to make it far. Sure enough, as they made their way forwards I saw the forms of Emmett and the others become visible, the wolves amongst them already phased as they slunk outwards, creating a wall behind the unsuspecting Vasilios.

And then they saw us.

Our scents would have already been registered by them but I assume that they only just now heard the heartbeats of the shifters and sensed our presence. It was almost in slow motion as Vasilio's pale and ashen face lifted upwards, his crimson eyes burning with surprise and a hint of fear as he took in our determined expressions. I hissed low in my throat, a truly angry sound as his group faltered and came to a pause about fifteen feet in front of us. Some of the other vampires with him seemed to finally realise the situation they were in, glancing around nervously at the angry expressions of Emmett and the others as they saw their escape routes blocked on all sides.

'Well…it seems that my wife underestimated her talent to block the future seer' Vasilios spat, causing Jasper to hiss angrily and Alice to merely giggle and raise her eyebrow.

'It's not our fault you didn't have all the information' she sang, her beautiful laughing voice ringing out across the garden like melodic chimes, causing Vasilios to flinch slightly.

'Regardless, we don't necessarily need the element of surprise to fight this miss-matched group of abominations and blood traitors' he hissed, anger and madness dripping like acid from his words, 'it's about time that your ridiculous views and disgusting acceptance of mutants was put to an end and I can take charge of the mockery you have made of us all. So forgive me if I don't feel like making small talk but I really don't feel that patient' he grinned sadistically, obviously signalling for the hesitant vampires with him to attack. They shook themselves out of their shock and took on equally as disgusted expression, choosing to quit the chat and launch straight into the offensive. Good, I thought, I was growing tired of waiting…time to kick some ass.

Jasper's POV:

The pure hatred rolling off this man was much stronger than anything I'd ever felt before, I didn't need to worry much though because it just gave me more determination to wipe the smirk off his face once and for all. I was impressed with Angela's composure though, not only was she keeping herself remarkably focused but she wasn't letting her anger at what Vasilios did to her overwhelm her, which was really saying something for a newborn.

I was pulled out of my analysis of the emotions flooding my senses by the attack of of Vasilios' minions which was accompanied by a huge spike in their hostility; I could feel an unbelievable wave of excitement erupt from Emmett as he waited for his turn. I rolled my eyes and leapt forward, picking a tall and gangly sandy haired man as my first opponent and I could feel the predatory grin stretch across my face as he took in all of the scars that were painted across my pale skin, a clear reminder to any vampire up against me that I was not to be taken lightly.

I grinned as he flew towards me, choosing fight over flight when he saw that his exit was blocked by a couple of growling wolves. I span through the air, landing a punishing blow to his chest that made a resounding crack sound of marble being beaten by a sledge hammer, not giving him a second to recover, I gripped one of his arms and ripped it off in a swift motion, making his screams ring out amongst the battle cries of the rest of my family.

He was a disappointing opponent, easily dispatched after only a few minutes of one sided fighting before I chucked his body parts to the side and moved onto my next target.

It went that way for a while and soon enough I found that there were no other viable candidates to test me in battle, only five vampires remained after about an hour of fighting and I decided to flood the remaining vampires with extra doses of unease and fear as they attempted to fight us off. I saw with great relief that a golden glow appeared at the edge of the garden, my daughter was thankfully unharmed as she materialised alongside Bella and Edward, who was carrying an unconscious but otherwise healthy looking Nessie in his arms.

'Maddy, take Nessie and teleport to the third floor where your cousins and Esme are, tell your grandmother that Nessie is okay but to keep an eye on her if she wakes up. Hurry, and don't come out of the room once you're in there okay!' Bella called out to my daughter who nodded quietly and disappeared in a swarm of light. I knew she was safe now and I let out a sigh of relief as I picked up someone's marble arm and tossed it into the fire next to the river just as Edward and Bella jumped in to help Carlisle out with a particularly stubborn vampire.

Pretty soon it was only Vasilios left, his red eyes darting around as his madness disappeared to be replaced by the fear of knowing that this was it for him. He had witnessed Bella and Edward's return with Nessie and had been letting out a slew of curses for the last few minutes as he attempted to dodge Angela's powerful torrents of water, he was already missing a hand and could tell that he was trapped, all of us having finished off his little gathering and now casually standing off to the side as Paige ignited any remaining body parts before joining Anthony to watch Angela's confrontation.

We watched Vasilios as he straightened up, vainly attempting to keep his dignity as he glared at Angela, his crimson eyes burning with hatred with a flicker of shock and unease at Angela's power. She in turn just growled at him, her arms completely transparent like crystal as the torrents of water flowed outwards from her finger tips, writhing across the ground.

'So it looks like I made a mistake by leaving you in that warehouse' he snarled, jumping to the left to avoid another swipe of Angela's gift. If she really wanted to I could tell she could have easily killed him by now but she was giving him the illusion of being able to talk himself out of it, perhaps even show some remorse. 'I should have brought you back with me, you would have made quite the addition to us' he said, his papery lips stretching in a smile that I was sure was supposed to be confident but looked more like a grimace.

'HA' Angela huffed, raising an eyebrow at him, 'I would rather die than spend any time with you, you decrepit old ass!' she laughed causing him to hiss in response.

'Someone should teach you some manners little girl, who do you think you are talking to?' he growled, bristling at her insult.

'I don't think you're anybody' she smirked, 'you're just a silly old man who's gotten it in his head that he's more important than he really is' she replied, cutting him off when he tried to yell something back, 'and whose pitiful attempts at controlling people have gotten him nowhere but hated. I'm going to put you in your grave old man, you no good, wrinkly…ass face!' she snarled, ignoring Emmett's laughter at her less than eloquent insult.

Vasilios could tell that his time was up as she circled him, instead deciding to attempt to escape as he wheeled around and blurred back towards the forest, only to be cut off as a vivid fire ball was launched into his chest by Paige, causing him to fly through the air back towards Angela. Without a seconds delay she whipped her arms up, forcing currents of crystal water upwards and weaving them around his limbs in a similar hold to the one she had practiced on Paige a few weeks ago.

'Any last words Vasilios' she smiled, sending more water out so that he was immobile before her, trapped in twisting streams of water. His eyes narrowed as he struggled, attempting to pull free his limbs only to find that it was impossible.

'You let me down right now you little bitch' he snarled, still adamant in his belief that he was powerful. She shrugged and smiled at him, raising her eyebrow.

'Be that way' she snarled, before flexing her fingers one last time and forcing the crystalline arms to constrict around him as the sound of screeching metal merged with his own screams. His pale body was ripped apart in a torrent of water, the marble limbs tearing away as he shrieked in pain, only to have his screams cut off when another vine of water decapitated him, launching his head into the air as it erupted in red flames, courtesy of Paige who winked at Angela.

'Well…' Angela huffed, 'that was easier than I thought.'
