CH 8: Planning and Training

All the characters belong to Stephanie Meyers except for Moon, Grace, and the newborns

Moon POV

I silently slipped out of the water and pulled myself up with little trouble into the cave where Grace and my army were awaiting me. I began to walk towards them and noticed that they were gathered in a small circle, the only noise in the cave was the soft squishing of my sodden shoes. I walk up to Grace and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek and turned my attention back to the Newborn's.

"I have informed the Volturi of my plan and now I will inform of the plan" I said showing off my white teeth as I observed my newborns daring one of them to interrupt me. One a well built man opened his mouth to say something but closed it when he saw the pointed look I gave him; he shut it hard enough that I could hear the teeth as they grinded against each other to hold back any words that threatened to slip through.

"Now the my plan is to leave them a set of clues that will lead them to Italy and the nice field that I have planned for the battle to happen there" I told them while looking at each one with my crimson red eyes and using my gift to pick apart at their fragile minds. One of the newborns began to nervously look everywhere but my face and my mouth twitched as I held back my smile at his behavior.

"Tonight we celebrate…let's paint Seattle red tonight shall we?" I told them and they all cheered and pushed each other out of the way in an ill attempt to beat the other first and I could only give a laugh full of mirth. I grabbed Grace's hand and we took off ahead of the group swimming in a blur to the shore line and running under the moonlight once we touched upon the shore. We stopped once we reached a dark alley and I snapped my fingers and my newborn's tore through the streets leaving screams of chaos and mayhem wherever they touched.

"Grace go and feed" I told her as I gently moved a strand of her blonde hair from her eyes and smiled at her. She looked at me and opened her mouth to speak "I love you Moon" Grace told me and I looked at her in disbelief but took her in my embrace and gave her a soft kiss on her lips and told her to go feed. This time she took off smiling and attacked a nearby woman who was trying to run from the chaos happening around her.

"I guess it's time for my clues" I muttered to myself, I tensed my legs and released the pent in energy and landing on an apartment building. I took off leaping and running as I waiting until I came to a quieter part of Seattle, I looked at the window across the street and leaped from my current building and busting through the window. The glass rained all around me and I moved towards what looked like the living quarters of the one who lived here. I kicked opened the door leaving only splinters as they rained down on the woman as she screamed in terror.

"Don't worry human your blood will be put to good use" I softly whisper and smiled as wide as I could. I dashed towards her and grabbed her by the neck and plunged my teeth into her soft chocolate colored skin slurping as much blood as I could and then I dragged her body and poured some in a cup. She was gasping for air and I grabbed her finger and wrote a message that I'm sure the Cullen's will see and love. I dropped her body and kicked in a corner wrinkling my nose at the sight of it.

"Humans really are pathetically weak creatures" I said and let the words hang in the suffocating air that had a strong scent of blood and death. As I was walking towards the window a image of my mother and the fire assaulted my mental plane and I fell to my knees and screamed as I began to fight at the image. Eventually the images stopped and I rose to my feet, dusted off my plain white shirt, and leaped out the building. I backtracked my scent until I caught the scent of Grace and the newborns and found them laughing and joking around with each other in a loose circle.

"Did you enjoy yourselves?" I asked them as I smoothly crossed the rough terrain and they all smiled at me cheering and rubbing their full stomachs. I saw Grace and told her to come next to my side and I told all the newborns to take a seat as I told them about our enemies.

"Our enemies are the Cullen's and the local dogs-"I said but was cut off with fits of hisses and growls at the mentions of the two groups.

"We can beat them, we can win this war and you want to know why? We have gifts that only come once every millennium. I must warn you we have raw power on our side but they will have cunning and experience on theirs, but don't fret because the Volturi have informed me that they will join our fight with the Cullen's and dogs. Now let's go home and celebrate a good night of feasting and then in the morning we will train our minds for the upcoming battle" I said and finished off my speech smirking at my creations and they raised their hands and cheered cheers of excitement and victory.

Aro POV

"Aro are you sure this battle will be better than the last one?" Caius asked me. The coward, he ran and left me to be ripped to pieces and burned by that dog Jacob.

"Shut up you old coward! Of course it will Caius Moon is the best vampire at utilizing his gift and fighting that we've ever met." I told him and turned my attention to the new guard that I hand selected and counted my army of gifted vampires.

"Cullen's your worst nightmare is back"
