So I originally had intended this to be the last chapter, but the war was too big to fit in one chapter. This was five pages on word in size 12 font, which definetley surpasses my usually 3 or 4. I really liked how this chapter turned out. I love Laurent because of this chapter. I wasn't going to post this untill tomorrow so I could finish the story at once, but since my last update took forever I though I'd be nice. Enjoy and PLEASE REVIEW!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight or it's characters. For the thousanth time.

Chapter Eleven

(The War)

When we got to the airport we went through all the usual stuff you go through at an airport. We waited in line to get our tickets, we waited for our bags to get weighed, we took the tram to the terminals, we found the correct terminal, and we sat and waited. We got to our terminal with forty-five minutes to spare. Charlie got up to go to the restroom but I hardly noticed.

Tonight was the night of the war. Tonight when the moon comes out, the war would start and Edward would be in it. I almost cried when I remembered how cold I had been to him; how I hadn't even told him I loved him. What if he dies? What if he dies thinking I don't love him?

As I was thinking someone came up and sat right next to me, in Charlie's spot. I thought that was unusual for an airport. As I was turning around to tell him that the seat next to me was taken, recognition hit me.

"Laurent!" I cried, giving him a big hug. I don't know when we got so close, but he didn't seem bothered by my embrace. He just hugged me back.

"Running away, also, are we?" he asked once we had let go of each other. I looked down at the carpet, ashamed.

"I'm not running away. I was forced to go." I corrected him in a hard tone.

"Ah, yes. Your overly protective boyfriend wanting to keep you safe?" he asked in understanding.

"I don't know if we're really together anymore," I mumbled softly.

He raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"I gave him the cold shoulder before I got here. I'm not letting myself feel anymore," I said to him just as much as to myself.

"Pardon me but I find that ridiculous. We all feel and that's not something we can just decide not to do anymore," he said. I looked at him with sorrow in my eyes.

"And I also find your behavior incredibly rude, selfish, and cold. And I know you and you are none of those three," he said.

"Selfish?" I started. My voice was filled with anger. "I left for him!"

"Isabella, just because you decide not to feel pain anymore doesn't mean Edward has," he said, his voice filled with ancient grief. I almost cried right there as I realized what he was saying.

"Rude because he loved you. He gave up his life and the safety of his family for you. He fought a vampire who I thought to be invincible and now is going against mobs, werewolves, vampires, and Tribal Elders," he continued. A tear slid down my face.

"And cold because today is the war. Today he does battle on your behalf and today is the day he needs you most," he said. I suddenly got angry at him for trying to make me cry.

"Are you trying to make me feel bad?" I yelled at him.

"Partially. More generally, I'm just trying to make you feel," he qualified.

"Why?" I asked, suddenly ashamed at myself for yelling at him.

"Because you need to feel. You need to go to him. You shouldn't be leaving him, you should be following him," he said.

"But he doesn't want me there!" I objected. I was going to say more but he cut me off with a wave of his hand.

"He doesn't want you there, he needs you there," he said simply.

I looked at my hands, which were balled up in my lap. I was ashamed and embarrassed at myself for being so stupid. How could I have left the only man I have ever loved?

"Here Isabella Swan, to help you in doing what is right," he said, giving me a tiny box. I opened it and it was car keys. I stared at him with my mouth open and eyes wide. He just smiled.

"I would give you something to help you do what's right, but I don't think you need anything," I said to him.

He stared at me with the strangest expression in his eyes. Was it sorrow?

"I can't, Isabella. I am truly sorry. I wish you and your coven the best of luck. Truly," and with that, he was gone. Charlie just now came out of the bathroom and I marveled at how good of timing that was.

"Let's go, Bells. They're letting people board," Charlie said.

"You go ahead dad. I'm just going to run to the bathroom real quick. Airplane bathrooms make me claustrophobic," I lied, anxious to get away. I hated ditching him like this but I had to.

"Well okay, Bells, just hurry up."

I grabbed my bag that I was going to use as my carry on item and kissed him on the cheek.

"Bye, dad."

"Bells, you'll be right back. No need to say goodbyes," he laughed.

"Yeah dad, you're right," I murmured before turning away.

I walked into the girl's bathroom then broke out into a run through the other door. As I was passing a window that over looked the airport parking lot, a shiny black viper caught my eye. I looked down at the keys and sure enough, the viper was mine.

"Figures," I muttered to myself.

I got down to the parking lot in record time, having to endure stares, mutters, swears, and obscene hand gestures.

As soon as I got into the viper I floored the ignition and sped away. I got out of Port Angeles and into Forks in twenty-two minutes, a time that would definitely make the Cullens proud.

Forks proved to be a much bigger problem.

I got to the main road that passed right by the Cullen's hidden drive way and gasped. Aboutfive minutes from the Cullen's driveway the road was full of people chanting and cheering with torches, actually torches, guns, pitchforks, rakes, shovels, slingshots, and other household things that could be used as a weapon.

"Are you people flipping crazy!" I screamed loudly. My window was partially down so anyone near me turned around to stare at me with cold eyes.

They surrounded my car and started rocking it from side to side. I was waiting for cops to come, but apparently half of them were in the mob and the other half were too scared to stop the mob. Stupid legal system!

"If you don't get away, I will run you over!" I screeched.

All the people started clearing away from me. I thought it was my threat that scared them, but I noticed the evil smiles on all of their faces as they parted. I noticed the moon was out with a stab of fear. Directly in front of the car, with a big freaky smile, was a werewolf. It was the scariest thing I had ever seen.

I was in no mood to get eaten and I had to see Edward, so I just floored the ignition. Forget about the people around me. It's not like I didn't warn them.

The werewolf was plastered against the front of the car and I saw various people going flying off of it from my rear view mirror. One of them was Mr. Varner, my trigonometry teacher, I noted with a dark chuckle. I guess I can give up all hopes of passing that class.

I sped down the driveway, sending tons of mob people flying out of the way, and right up to the Cullen's. They frame of the new house was up and very nice. The concrete floors were already down and there were wood beams all along it and inside of it.

None of the vampires or werewolves had made it this close to the house yet, I noted. All of the Cullens were staring at me in disbelief. Maybe it was because I had just ran over half of the town, maybe it was because half of the town were splattered or still stuck to my car, or maybe they just weren't expecting me.

I saw all of the regular people running away, obviously afraid of getting hit by another crazy girl in a sports car, I noted, pleased with myself. That was a lot less hassle. I got out of my car and made my way to the Cullens. I saw Sam, one of the boys I had met at La Push when I got Jacob to tell me of the Cullen's secret, on the ground in front of my car.

He must have been the one I hit. I remembered reading in a book once that werewolves went back to their human forms when they died. I saw the silver emblem on the front of the car had stabbed him when I hit him. I pulled it off of the hood and pocketed it. I bent down and closed his still shocked eyes. If he hadn't tried to kill Edward and possibly me I would've cried.

I ran over to where Edward and his family were standing. I saw a bunch of knocked out Elders who I didn't recognize around their feet. Victoria and the other werewolves hadn't gotten here yet and since the town's people left we had some extra time.

"Bella! What are you doing here?" Edward boomed, his voice filled with shock and anger.

I looked down at the ground. This wasn't the reaction I was expecting.

"I had to come," I whispered. I noticed that all of their eyes were coal black except for Carlisle's, which were just dark topaz.

"Bella, you shouldn't have. It was dangerous," Carlisle said.

I was angry now. I glared at him and he seemed taken aback.

"You can't fight my battles forever. I care about you all and I won't let you die. I will do anything in my power to help win this war," I said harshly.

"Bella, that was a mistake. You should go back," Carlisle whispered.

"Incase you haven't noticed, I just hit over half of the town with a sports car. Even if my plane hadn't already left I think it would've been a little too late," I said scathingly.

Edward glared at me, his anger much more impressive then mine.

"Do you actually think we wanted you here during this?" he said, anger etched into every word. I looked at him, shocked. All of his family was staring at him, too.

We didn't have time to discuss this further. Victoria and six more werewolves had all appeared at the end of the driveway. The werewolves were all huge and muscled. Victoria's hair had been cut short to her head so it obviously wouldn't get in her face when she was fighting. She was absolutely ripped. Her muscles were intimidating and huge.

This fight would be serious.

"Isabella!" she called. "I was hoping you would be here! I was scared that you would've chickened out and left. That would've ruined all of the fun. I never would've gotten to taste your blood!"

Shivers ran down my spine as the werewolves all howled in delight and she grinned wickedly. Edward let loose a ferocious snarl that shut them all up and wiped the smirk off of her face. Her eyes seemed to turn flat black.

"It's funny," I said to her, suddenly getting brave. "Your husband said the same thing to me and look what happened to him."

Her face was now contorted into absolute rage. I heard Edward, Esme, Alice and Carlisle all gasp in shock. Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett were all snickering.

I could feel the tension get kicked up a notch as everyone prepared for battle. I made sure I had everything silver I owned with me. Itightly grippedthe emblem I pulled off of the car's hood.

"Remember," said Victoria to her werewolves. "Leave her to me."

Next chapter is the last! I hope you liked this one. Stay 'tuned'. PLEASE REVIEW!
