Okay we are about to hit the big showdown between Nasia and Victoria, and the Volturi vs the newborns. It's about to get heated up down there.
Just as the title says this is all about the battle, so it's a bit longer than the other chapters. I do hope you all enjoy it so, because it took me a bit to improvise the fight between our fiery females. As for if the Cullens show up in time, well you'll just have to read along to find out.
Written by myself and my sister author AnnaBoleyna1536, and we don't own Twilight.
Enjoy!
"So he turned you did he?" Victoria gave an evil little smirk, one that Nasia wanted so badly to wipe from her face. Belle's scent was all over her, it was a good cover for now until the Cullens came.
"Yeah, just a few days ago but I'm in good control." Nasia stood tall, Belle's scent was all over the clothes she was fine for now. "You know if you wanted me so badly you didn't have to arrange a party of newborns."
"Yes well, what better way to draw out your dear Cullens?"
"Well you certainly got their attention, and mine. You let these…people run amuck and kill humans easily drawing attention, you could risk exposure." Nasia held her hands out and walked a few steps as she spoke.
"That is a risk worth taking."
"For the sake of revenge?" the redhead gave an evil chuckle, and then her red eyes blared with anger.
"Your mate killed mine, James was all I had in this world and your dear Edward killed him."
"Umm…no offense or anything Victoria but if your mate had just left the country with you he might've survived. Instead he chose to pursue me and anger the Cullens, and that was why he died." she knew the story of how James went after Belle, and frankly it was stupid thing to do.
"It was just a game, you would've been better off dead. Now I'll get the chance…"
"Hold on now…no need to rush this we have time." Nasia walked a little closer. "I know you didn't create this army all on your own, so who's your partner?" Victoria stared at her.
"Partner, you think I had help?" Nasia rolled her eyes and smirked.
"Please you can't control this army on your own; you had to keep out of Alice's visions so you got someone to run the show for you. I have to admit it's quite brilliant, otherwise they would've seen it was you and ended it sooner."
"Thank you, you're very observant."
"Oh no, I just listen to the facts before I make a conclusion." Victoria was eyeing her carefully, as if expecting her to let her guard down. "Look Victoria, the Volturi are close by and soon enough they will take care of your little army. Why don't you just make this easier for us and give up?"
"Give up…strange words coming from someone who risked it all coming alone."
"Alone yes, but not ill-prepped." Nasia sat down. "Victoria, I'm sorry about James and I know you don't believe me but in all honesty he had a chance to walk away. You don't have to do all this because of him, he didn't love you." Victoria's eyes glared.
"He loved me more than he'd ever loved anyone else."
"That's because you were loyal and obedient to him, but he didn't reciprocate the same love you had for him. Edward read his thoughts; he used you for his games."
"No…" she was snarling now.
"Fine don't believe me, either way you have the chance he didn't. You can leave now and keep your life, or you can stay and die. After all I'm not human anymore, so do you really think you can beat me?" Victoria stood tall and Nasia took a stance preparing for an attack.
"Maybe not alone." after she spoke Nasia picked up another scent and spotted a boy with dark blonde hair behind her. A newborn she recognized as the missing Biers boy, one Charlie had been going through hell to find.
"Riley Biers, so it was you." the boy was having control issues, but he had a straight face. "Your parents miss you, and here you are working with her."
"She needs me." he said. "She loves me."
"Oh really?" Nasia looked at Victoria. "You really sunk your teeth into him didn't you? You got him under the assumption that you actually care?"
"You know nothing." Riley growled.
"I'm no mind-reader Riley but I know how she works, whatever she's told you is a lie. She only made you and the army to kill another coven that killed her mate, James. She doesn't care about you, and once all this is finished she'll either kill you or the Volturi or I will. Believe me if I kill you it'll be quick, but the Volturi relish in torture." Riley looked between her and Victoria, unsure for a moment.
"She's lying Riley." Victoria put on an innocent face. "I love you, and I'll be with you forever. We have to kill her, and then we'll get rid of the other Cullens. They deserve to die for all they've done."
"And what exactly have they done, I mean besides James?" Nasia was fishing, and Victoria was just about to take the bait. The fiery female snapped her head to Nasia, growling low and ready to attack.
"They killed my friend, and he was just relaying a message to them."
"Friend…oh you mean Laurent? The one you sent to watch me and he was killed in the process?" she left out the wolves, Victoria might know about them but Riley likely didn't. "You know how territorial some vampires are."
"He did it as a favor for me, and they killed him." her eyes blazed with fury, but Nasia knew better.
"You seriously need to chill carrot-top." Nasia crouched. "Now…last chance, do you want to live or die?"
"The only one to die will be you!" with that Victoria leapt at her, and the fight began.
Cullen home:
"How much longer?" the Cullens were about to embark to Seattle but they were being held up as they waited for the wolves. Bella would be staying behind with Jacob and Seth watching her and Charlie, while the rest of the wolves watched the area and the Cullens would leave.
"Not much, they'll be here any minute." Carlisle and Bella had called Sam and Jake just ten minutes ago, but they had to round up the others.
"Nasia could be hurt or gone, they're taking too long!"
"Bella calm down, Nasia can handle herself against the Volturi she won't do anything rash." Alice tried but Bella's mind was racing. She had to be sure her twin would be alright, she couldn't lose her again.
"Have you seen her make it out?" Alice shook her head.
"Right now she's still fighting…" Alice paused, and that blank look came back. "Oh no…"
"What is it Alice?" Jasper came to her side and Edward's eyes had disbelief in them.
"She's…she's fighting Victoria and someone else."
"What?" Bella gasped. "Is she okay?"
"She's fine…she's good but Victoria thinks she's you."
"How?"
"She's wearing your clothes, has your scent all over her. It won't last long…"
"Victoria will catch on she's not you, and it'll get bad. The Volturi…" Alice turned to Edward.
"They're killing the newborns, but Victoria's too busy with Nasia."
"Can she handle them on her own?" Esme looked to Alice.
"She can for a while, but we need to go now." Edward shook his head.
"Jacob and the wolves aren't ready…"
"We need to go now Edward!" Alice shouted. "Look you stay behind until they show up but we have to get moving or we'll be too late."
"Too late…go!" Bella had tears in her eyes. "Help Nasia please I can't lose her again."
"You won't." Alice nodded at her.
"Alright." Edward stood by Bella. "Go now, call the house if anything happens." the others nodded.
"Okay." Carlisle and the others gathered. "Let's move." the rest of the Cullen clan ran out the front door and that left Bella and Edward alone.
"We should get back to your house, Charlie's at the station and won't be back until later. Jacob and the others will be there." he tried to pull her along but she didn't.
"Edward, I don't know what issues you have with Nasia but you could have some faith in her." she knew about the hostility between them, but it had eased up some.
"She's reckless Bella, that's not good against an army or Victoria."
"Edward she's strong, she doesn't just jump into things she thinks it through before taking action. Nasia is a lot tougher than you think; I know she'll make it."
"You don't know that…"
"I do! I know my sister she's not going to die, and I'm sorry you can't believe me." she loved Edward, but his lack of trust on Nasia was starting to get to her. "Let's go."
"Bella…" she ignored him as she walked down to her truck, and he met her there. "I'm sorry." he said as he got inside.
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to Nasia when she comes back." with that said the drive back to Charlie's was quiet, and Bella said nothing as she walked into the house and upstairs to her room. Edward didn't follow her, and she just laid back on her bed staring at the ceiling.
'I'll see you in the morning sis.'
Meanwhile:
"RAAHH!" Riley charged at Nasia but she managed to flip him and twist his arm backwards. The skin cracked when he hit the wall, and his arm was practically dangling loose from his body.
"You have skill kid, too bad that's not going to save you." Nasia ducked when Victoria tried to launch at her, and she kicked her away. Riley charged again and this time Nasia had enough, so she let him nearly grab her and she got behind him.
"Riley!" Victoria cried when Nasia wrapped her arms around his neck and started to pull. She tried to charge at Nasia again but with the help of her shield the redhead was restrained.
"What is this?" she couldn't break free, but Nasia's control was going to slip unless she finished Riley.
"Sorry kid." she gave a kiss to the back of his head and then tore it straight off. The head was thrown across the room and the body was kicked to the side. Outside Nasia could smell smoke and the screams of the newborns, the Volturi were doing their job for once.
"You killed him."
"Why do you care, you were going to kill him anyway?" she didn't really need an answer.
"He would've been useful, could've kept him alive for a bit longer."
"And now you can't." clapping her hands together Nasia relished in the fact that Victoria was losing, and her army was about gone. Now she just had to give her a little newsflash before she would burn.
"You…how are you so good?" Victoria was raving mad, talking through snarling white teeth and blood red eyes full of hatred and fury. "And this power…what is it?"
"Practice sweetheart, and I gave you a chance of mercy but you didn't take it." the smoke was getting thick outside, if this didn't end soon the police would be coming fast. "For the power…that's something you won't learn anytime soon."
"You shouldn't be this good; he had to have turned you sooner." Nasia kept up her focus on, but when she took in an unnecessary breath she picked up Belle's scent starting to fade thanks to the smoke. Her scent was slowly coming out. On top of it her shirt was torn and the left sleeve was gone, and she was covered in black dust or something that had been on the floors. Her hair was in disarray, and her thirst was beginning to return.
"Yeah well…things happen." Nasia tore off the last of the over shirt, revealing a black tank underneath. "I really wish I could continue this more, but sadly I have to get back to Forks." the shield tightened around Victoria and she growled in pain.
"You…you can't be…" what she meant Nasia didn't know nor did she care.
"You've many mistakes in your life Victoria, but the biggest one you've made was going after my sister." she walked closer.
"Sister…?"
"I am Anastasia Swan, Bella Swan is my twin. Take a moment, get a whiff." she held out her arms, and Victoria took one small sniff, and then a few little ones. Her red eyes widened and her anger returned.
"You tricked me…"
"Yeah I did." her smirk turned into a frown. "You hunted Bella down, and you made the mistake of refusing my offer. See your mate was the one who chose to die, and now you're going to join him."
"Then what're you waiting for? Just do it!"
"Oh I will…but I want to enjoy this first." with one wave of her hand the shield vanished from around Victoria. She collapsed and looked up at Nasia with slight confusion. "If you're going to die, it might as well be with a bang."
"You'll just use your power again…"
"No, I think I want to do this the old fashioned way. Now then…" Nasia crouched slightly. "Shall we?"
"Your funeral." Victoria ran at her but Nasia blocked her arms easily. She tried to jab at Nasia a few times but each attempt was blocked. Nasia let her have the field for a bit longer before she grabbed onto Victoria's left arm and twisted it before her other arm went around her neck.
"Just no that before you die…I gave you a chance." Just as Nasia was about to get the deed done a loud clatter drew her attention towards the door. She got a glimpse of a newborn girl, terrified and still before her grip on the redheaded bitch was gone and Victoria had her in a hold.
"You gave me a chance, and you had a chance." Nasia felt the crushing strength around her neck, she couldn't focus her power she didn't have a clear shot on a target.
"U-urgh…" she tried to break free but her strength wasn't all enough with just one arm.
"Die." the cracking of Nasia's skin and the pain of it all began to spread, but right as Victoria was about to rip her head clean off Nasia felt the grip loosen and Victoria screamed.
"What…?" Nasia freed herself and she saw the newborn brunette girl had her arms around Victoria's neck. Taking the chance she tore off Victoria's arms and the girl tore off her head before the rest of the body collapsed to the dirty floor.
"I…I'm…" the girl was still scared, but there was no time.
"Gather the pieces, all of them. I'll start the fire." taking out a lighter and some matches Nasia lit the bits of Victoria's body and they went up in flames instantly. The girl took the body of Riley Biers and piled it on, so Nasia increased the flames with two more matches. The floor began to spark, and she grabbed the girl's wrist. "We have to leave come on." they ran out of the room just as the fire began to spread, and they jumped out of a window onto a nearby rooftop when the entire floor went up in flames.
Looking down below there were multiple other fires, all in piles but big enough so nothing would remain left for the humans to find. The Volturi weren't in sight, they must've escaped as Nasia heard the sirens coming close.
"You're still alive." turning sharply there stood Jane with her group, no one had been killed on their side.
"Did you think I would let that bitch get me?" Jane's eyes fell to the girl.
"You missed one." Nasia stood in front of her.
"She saved me back there, if not for her I might've died."
"She has to die, the Volturi don't give second chances." Jane tried to get a clear view of her, but Nasia blocked her way.
"I am in no mood to argue with you Jane, the girl deserves to be rewarded for helping me not death. Come to think of it…why don't you call up Aro right now? Tell him I wish to consult with him." Jane's eyes narrowed.
"He will not allow it."
"Then we'll just see, take out your phone and call him. Now." Jane looked ready to argue more, but Alec gave her a look and she grudgingly pulled out a cellphone.
"What's your name?" Nasia turned back to the girl. She looked to be about sixteen, long thick brown wavy hair and slightly tanned skin despite her being a newborn vampire.
"B…Bree. Bree Tanner." she answered, still scared.
"I won't hurt you, and I won't let them either." Nasia heard the dial tone of the phone, and then she heard a voice on the other end.
"Master Aro…the army has been destroyed." Jane was still glaring at Nasia.
"Ah dear Jane well done, was there any trouble?" Nasia was close enough to hear the man's voice.
"No master, but we have found the Swan girl."
"Anastasia? Oh my…" he paused. "And how is she?"
"She's here master, and she has a newborn behind her. One that was part of the army, she claims it saved her life."
"She's a girl not an it." Nasia was firm, this little brat didn't scare her.
"Give Nasia the phone Jane." Jane handed the phone over, and Nasia put it to her ear.
"Hello Aro."
"Anastasia dear girl, how has your stay with the Cullens been?"
"Fine…Aro would you mind explaining to me why your guards let the army live longer than necessary? They already drew too much attention."
"That will be dealt with my dear, now what's this about a newborn saving your life?" of course he would drop the subject. She'd deal with that later.
"Her name is Bree; I was fighting her creator and another newborn before she appeared. I managed to kill the second in command before I could get the leader, and I lost focus for a moment. That was enough for her to nearly kill me, but Bree saved me in time. I think she's worthy of being a vampire."
"Even so Anastasia, the girl is still responsible for some of the destruction."
"She didn't know what she was doing, I don't think she even knew who made her…did you?" Bree shook her head. "Do you wish to speak to her?"
"I don't see a problem, yes." Anastasia handed the phone to Bree.
"H-Hello…?" she was nervous.
"Hello young one, tell me why you saved Anastasia from your creator." Bree looked to Nasia and she nodded.
"I…I didn't know who made me. I just heard screams and smelled smoke, and I saw some people in black clothes killing the others. Riley was gone, he told us what to do…but I didn't think he was the leader. I don't know who turned me, but I tried to run away from the fight until I heard noises in a building. I got up there and I saw Ms. Anastasia fighting Riley and a woman with red hair."
"Red hair…and what did you do?"
"I saw her kill Riley, and then I saw she was taunting the woman. She fooled her into believing she was her twin sister, and she said she would make the woman pay for everything. Ms. Anastasia she…she had some weird hold on her, but she let her go and they fought. I didn't mean to distract her…but I banged into something and the woman got her arms around Anastasia's neck."
"And you helped her get free?"
"Yes sir." there was a 'hmm' on the other end.
"Please pass the phone back to Anastasia young one, thank you for your words." Bree did as told and Nasia took the phone.
"She helped me Aro, I won't let her get hurt."
"I understand Anastasia, which is why I am going to let her live." Jane's eyes widened.
"Are you?"
"She will be taken in as your charge, or the Cullens if you wish. Since she had enough control to help you she can stay, so I will trust that you and the Cullens give her lessons on our world. However, if she slips up again…"
"She won't, I'll make sure of it."
"As I'm certain you will, especially with Carlisle's help. Speaking of whom, why did he not go with you or the others for that matter?"
"I chose to go alone, I have no doubts they'll be showing up soon though. Also…how is Caius faring?" she heard Aro chuckle.
"He's been rather…peevish since you left the castle. Fear not he will calm down."
"I understand he wants me back."
"Yes, but that will be your choice entirely my dear." Nasia wasn't so sure about that.
"Pass him a message to him for me will you? If Caius wants me back so bad then he can come and get me himself. I'm staying for Belle's wedding, and after that I will decide what to do."
"Sounds fair to me, alright now I shall let you go; give my regards to Carlisle would you?"
"I will, ciao." she hung up and tossed the phone back at Jane. "You'd better get going, and be sure to tell Caius to get off his ass and come after me if I'm that important to him." Jane growled.
"This isn't over." she turned and took off, and the others followed her. Nasia picked up some more scents, and moments later where the Volturi had been the Cullens, all but Edward, were in their place. Bree hid behind her, but Nasia motioned for her to relax.
"You're late."
Wow this one wasn't easy to write, but I'm happy I got it out of the way.
So now that Victoria is gone, is there going to be anymore dangers? Bella and Edward are due to get married, but what's Nasia going to do after that? What's going to happen with Bree?
Next chapter we have the bits before the wedding comes, which is mainly a chapter of Bella and Nasia having some sisterly bonding before Bella ties the knot. Also more on what happens with Bree, and more insight on Nasia's emotions about what she'll do after the wedding. More on Renee too but not much until the wedding.
