O.K to tell you the truth I don't know much about sword fighting. I wish I did but I don't!! So I am going to base this on what I've seen on T.V. and heard about.

Bella POV

"Sword fighting," Reese repeated raising an eyebrow. I nodded. I get a little violent when I sword fight. Well more violent than I already am.

"Keep working with the coven and I'll work with the Cullens," I say rolling my eyes. Why is it always me that gets stuck with the bad missions? I sigh, the things I do for vampires.

I walk over to the Cullens who were collecting themselves after the mental portion of the training.

"O.K. we are going to start the weapon portion of the training. I must warn you that I get a little violent when I sword fight," I told them.

"You mean more violent than you already are?" Emmett asked jokingly.

I glare at him. He tries to hide behind Rosalie. I roll my eyes. As if Rosalie's petite figure could hide his bulking one.

I pull out two Tai Chi Straight Swords. (This was suggested by Scotia. Thank you. Scotia also described the way it was used so again Thank you)

I had perfected the swords so that they would cut through vampire skin. It was a very good accomplishment if I do say so myself.

I tossed the sword to Edward.

"Lets go Pretty Boy," I said smirking. The others snickered at the nickname.

"You think I'm pretty," Edward teased.

"In a girly way I guess. But you know what they say about pretty boys, all face and no brain," that wiped the smirk off his face.

"O.K. so get prepared and whatever you do don't get frustrated. Think of the next move before it happens," I said.

Edward came toward me with a swift moment. I expected it so I moved out of the way and struck.

It was like a deadly dance with such grace that it even surprised me. I struck and he ducked. He struck and I blocked. We were fighting with all we had. I was surprised that he was so good with a sword. But I could tell that his patience was waning and he was getting frustrated. That would be the death of him. I felt a pang in my heart at the thought of him dying.

It was like ballet except without those horrible pink, frilly, tutus. I shudder at the thought.

He tried to bring the sword down but I blocked. I swiped at his sword arm and cut him. He winced, didn't I teach him anything about pain. You never let your opponent see weakness. He didn't bleed since we have no blood. The wound was open for a second but closed almost immediately closed because it was so small. A crowd had surrounded us. The girls in the Vampiress were watching and rooting for me.

He was mad now. He swung the sword several times at me but he was so mad that he missed and I took my chance.

I swung the sword and knocked the sword out of his hands. He was no match for me without a sword. Not that he was a match for me anyway. He looked at me with fear. I kicked the back of his knees so that he fell onto his back.

I put one foot on his chest and the sword at his throat so that he couldn't get up.

"You got frustrated. That is going to get you killed. You have been living for over a century. I think you have earned a little patience. If you are angry then harness that anger to your advantage. If you let it rule you then you will get hurt. Your pretty good," I smile and help him up. He looks at me in surprise like he couldn't believe that I had complimented him.

"Wow Bella! You complimented him and helped him up. This is a momentous occasion," Reese joked. I threw her a glare.

"Keep practicing with the rest of your family, Edward," I ordered. "You could use the help on harnessing your anger and frustration."

"Where are you going?" asked Reese.

"I'm going inside. I have to prepare." I walk inside the house and went upstairs and plopped on the bed in my room.

In a couple of days I would be dead. I wondered how I could take my death so calmly.

I guess it was because of the fact that I was dying for the vampire race. I didn't want to die but I would do what I had to do. Then there was Edward, who I was starting to actually be nice to. It was something I thought I would never do.

"What are you doing, my sexy Bella." It was Parker.

"What is this 'Pester Bella' day?" I asked him annoyed.

"No, but I could annoy you anyway. I saw that smile that you gave Edward. It wasn't one of those predatory smiles that you usually have. It was one of those smiles that says that you are falling for him," He said.

"Don't be stupid. If you keep this up, I might have to kick your ass to knock some sense into you," I snapped.

"Well what is he going to do when he finds out your deep dark secret? What is he going to do when he sees your true face? I mean the Vampiress and you are not like other vampires and we both know it," He said. I glare at him. "How is him and his family going to react when they find out that snow white is really a witch in disguise." He ran his hand along my jaw. I look away.

"You tell them and I'll kill you like I said," I snarled. I point to the door. He walks out chuckling.

"Son of a Bitch," I whisper.

"Who is?" Reese asked walking in.

"Parker. He threatened to tell the Cullens about my past. Them turning on me is the last thing we need. I know we don't want to admit it but we can't beat them on our own," I told her.

"Your right. He is a son of a bitch. That was a long time ago," Reese sounded angry.

"He also threatened to tell them that we are different." I saw Reese stiffen next to me.

"We may be different from other vampires but we are still vampires. I'm going to go warn the rest of the Vampiress about this. They are not going to be happy that Parker is threatening our leader. We are very protective of you, you know," She said. I smiled because I knew it was true.

"How are the covens doing with the training?"

"Well I have to say that they are determined," she replied.

"But…" I could sense the but in the sentence.

"But I think the other Vampiresses are close to pulling their hair out. The Cullens are doing well. Speaking of the Cullens I saw you smile at Edward today. You wouldn't happen to start to liking him again, would you?" she inquired.

"No. Reese there is a battle coming. I have more to think about than my hormones," I reply wryly.

"Vampires don't have hormones, Bella," Reese said with a smile in her voice.

"Well if you are going to be a smart ass then you can go deal with the covens," I retorted. She groaned. "Shoo."

She walked out while throwing me one last dirty look.

I guess it was time to see how the covens were doing.

When I walked outside everyone was practicing. The Vampiress were making comments about what they should or shouldn't have done.

"Stop!" I yell. Everyone stopped what they were doing. "Put the weapons in the shed." I pointed to the shed that we kept the weapons.

"We have to work on stealth," I said to Reese. She nods.

"O.K. I have never trained a group this big." I looked at the group of 37 vampires including the Cullens. "But that won't stop me from doing what has to be done. I will teach you how to listen because you can guarantee that the Volturi will have a vampire that either can turn invisible or something. For example Alicia over here can turn invisible," I motion for her to come up. She walks up to stand beside me.

I see a leaf on her shoulder and I brush it off. I feel a magnetic energy move through my cells. I hear everyone gasp.

"What?" I ask.

"Your invisible," Alicia mumbled.

"But you can't pass your power to anyone else," I told her. She shakes her head.

"Reese come here." She walks over to me.

"One of Reese's powers is fire power," I think it was because of her hair. "Let's see if this is a new power." I touch Reese's arm. I then concentrate on her power. Again I feel the tingling in my cells. It felt like static electricity. I open my hands and will the fire out of my hands. Fire comes shooting out of my hands.

"Looks like I have a new power. I can take a vampires power if I touch them. But it only works if I want it to. I think it is only with contact."

I try to conjure the fire again without touching Reese on the arm. Nothing happened.

"How come you get all these powers? We only get one power," David the guy I changed mumbled.

"Stop being so whiny," I snapped at him.

He was jealous. If I could have a headache I would have. Then I remembered the prophecy.

A time will come when we face vampire against vampire

In the darkened sky the flame will fall

The flame will fall I repeat in my mind.

Alec!! He has the power of the blue flame. He has the power to kill the other vampires. If I steal his power long enough I could kill the Volturi and his guard. But that would mean I would have to be engulfed by the flame myself.

Under the blue she will die

So that is what the prophecy meant.

"I think that that is enough training for today. Lets head inside. For those who need to feed then go with Kira and Alicia. But don't go too far and don't leave any proof that we are hear," I ordered.

With that some of the vampires left with Kira and Alicia.

The rest of us went inside.

"I need to speak with Reese and the rest of the Vampiress alone. I will know if anyone that tries to hear our conversation, and you will regret it," I threatened.

We walked upstairs and the Cullens looked sad that they weren't included.

When we were upstairs I made sure that we couldn't be heard.

"Okay, I know that you know that not everyone is going to make it. All of you might because you are trained properly. But we all know that not everyone in the coven is going to make it. They haven't had time to really train and they don't have as many powers as you do. You know the drill. If one of from our coven falls, you move on. You don't hesitate. That means Ben too, Reese," I said. She looked down and nodded.

"We are the Vampiress. We are the mightiest vampires. We see our pray and we take them out," I said in a fierce voice. They all looked at me with determination.

"You guys get down there and fill Kira and Alicia in. I have to plan. We can't go into battle without a plan," they nodded and headed downstairs.

There was only 2 days left. It was 2 days till my death. But I couldn't concentrate on that so I began to plan.

Well here is the next chapter. I bet everyone is anxious to hear what Bella's big secret is. Don't worry you will find out in due time. I hope you like this chapter. Read and Review. Well I will update as soon as I can.
