Chapter 14: The Volturi

I woke up the next morning with Sora still fast asleep next to me. I smiled slightly at how at peace he looked while he was sleeping but then I got a huge knot in my stomach thinking about what today was going to bring. I just sighed while I got out of bed. I quickly showered and changed into my most comfortable fighting outfit. When I walked out, Sora was awake.

"Sorry, didn't mean to wake you." I said barely above a whisper.

He just shook his head. "You didn't wake me." he said as he held a hand out, offering me to go to him. I walked over and sat on the edge of my bed, curling up against him as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him. I rested my head on his chest for a few minutes until he gently pushed me off so he could get up.

Once he was up, he put on his pants and picked his shirt up off the floor. Then he turned around and kissed my lips before he turned and started to head for the door. "I guess we don't have much time left do we?" I said looking down at the sheets.

He stopped at the door and he turned to look at me. I looked up at him as I felt his eyes on me. "Everything's going be alright." he told me. His eyes were warm and sincere, but when he left the room I realized he never said that he promised, and Sora never made a promise he couldn't keep.

Once he was out of the room I lied down on my bed again and looked up at the ceiling just to waste time. What was the point of everything anyway? Was eighteen years all I could really ask for? After a few minutes there was a knock on my door. "Come in." I called as I sat up. When the door opened I saw Aqua, Bella, and Renesmee. They calmly walked in the room and Bella was holding something in her hand.

Renesmee quickly crossed the room and gave me a crashing hug that sent us both falling backwards. "Sorry, but this may be the last time I'll get to see you." she sobbed.

I wrapped my arms around her, getting my fingers twisted in her long, brown curly hair as I hugged while trying to push her up. It felt like I was melting under her hot skin. "I know Renesmee, it's scary to think this may be our last time." I told her.

"I have something for you." Bella said as Renesmee pulled away and sat next to me on the edge of the bed. I held out my hand and she handed me a blood-stained edible piece of paper.

"What's this?" I asked, holding it between my thumb and forefinger as I turned it around to get a better look.

Renesmee smiled at me, "Vampire blood from yours truly. We already gave the others theirs."

"What does it do?" I asked uncertain if I should eat it or not.

"It heightens your strength and senses." Bella explained, "Don't worry, we did some tests and it won't effect your dark half what so ever. You'll have the advantage and a better chance of surviving against the Volturi."

"Thank you." I said as I put the paper on my tongue. The instant it touched I felt a rush of power flow through me. "Whoa!" I shouted in shock.

"Yeah it takes some getting used to." Aqua giggled as she walked over to me. "Can I have a moment alone with her?" Aqua asked.

"No problem-o." Renesmee cheered as she followed Bella out of the room. I guess some people had more confidence than others.

"Good luck out there today." Aqua said to me when they were gone.

"You too." I said with a fake laugh.

"If this is the last time I see you, I just want to let you know that you're a very wonderful person." She sadly smiled at me.

"You too, Aqua." I said as I looked away. It always seemed like I was at a loss of words when having a normal conversation with Aqua.

She held out her hand to me and smiled. "Shall we go?"

I smiled at her and took her hand. "Might as well, there's no way we're avoiding this."

Once we were at the base of the mountain I looked around to see all the Cullens with each other and talking about something I couldn't quite here. As I looked across the field I saw Sora looking at me with so much more affection then ever before.

"Two minutes!" Alice called out as we all walked closer to each other.

"You're the best sister anyone could have hoped for." Riku said as he hugged me. I nodded at him and lipped the words thank you at him. I quickly went around and gave everyone else quick hugs before they showed up.

"Thirty Seconds!" Alice called out to everyone and everyone stood tall facing forward as if we were in the military.

After a few seconds I could see figures starting to head down the mountain. I tensed my body and got ready for a fight. I jumped slightly as a hand grabbed onto mine. I quickly glanced over to see Sora next to me. A couple of seconds later, eight vampires wearing gray cloaks in front of us, and right in the center was Tomo, Haruka, and Vanitas.

"It's good to see you again, Carlisle." The head vampire said removing his hood. He had long black hair and milky crimson red eyes, and his skin looked papery.

"If this is what you would consider a nice meeting, than yes, it's nice to see you again too Aro." Carlisle smiled, but if you knew him well enough, you could tell he was being anything but friendly.

"It's a shame that it's come down to killing you." Aro laughed as he lifted his hand to get ready and give the command.

"I suppose there's no way of talking you out of it this time is there?" Carlisle asked.

"Not in the least." Aro laughed as he snapped his fingers. In an Instant the attack stated and there was so much chaos I couldn't tell you what was happening with everyone.

"Hello again Kairi." Someone laughed behind me. I turned around to see Haruka grinning at me.

"Hi to you too." I said, putting a lot of acid into my tone. She just laughed and summoned her keyblade. She quickly charged at me and swung her keyblade. Thanks to the vampire blood I was able to quickly summon my keyblade and block the attack. "Game over." I said as she looked into my eyes shocked. With one quick movement I threw her back and kicked her in the ribcage hard enough to shatter her bones. When she hit the ground she was dead. My guess would have to be that when I broke her ribs, the pieces stabbed her heart and killed her.

The battle stopped and everyone was looking at me. "Where did you get such power from child?" Aro smiled at me.

"I'm never going to tell you!" I yelled

"Smart ass!" Tomo yelled as he charged at me. Sora quickly chased after him and slashed his back deep. Blood started to fall onto the ground and Tomo fell to the ground dead.

"Good job." Renesmee cheered as she fought with a female vampire. Jacob quickly charged from behind her but she jumped in the air, avoiding the hit.

Vanitas smiled at Aqua, "Looks like your friends picked up some new tricks."

Aqua just glared at him, "Maybe, and this is where your life ends."

Vanitas laughed and charged. "In your dreams." Ven turned around and shot a beam of light at Vanitas and knocked the keyblade out of his hand. Once the opening was made, Aqua quickly hurled her keyblade right through Vanitas's chest and he fell to the ground, which pushed the keyblade deeper in.

"Jane!" I heard the Volturi cry out over a loud metal ripping sound. I turned around to see Jacob taring the female vampire to shreds as Renesmee lit a match and dropped it on her body parts. With that distraction, Alice quickly charged towards one of the larger vampires and quickly ripped his head of and set it on fire before dismembering the rest of the body.

"Looks like you lost your tracker." Edward laughed as Rosalie ran over to give Alice a hand.

"Stop this at once!" Aro commanded as everyone prepared for one final attack. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks and looked at him. "This is madness, we shouldn't be killing each other."

"Your only saying that because you're getting your ass kicked. If you were winning you'd let this blood shed continue!" Roxas yelled, holding two keyblades at his sides.

Aro smiled at him, "You may be right boy." then his gaze locked onto Carlisle. "What do you say old friend, why don't we put a stop to this quarrel?"

"Fine by me, but only if you don't bother my family ever again." He demanded.

Aro sighed in defeat. "That won't be a problem." and with a wave of his hand the remainder of the Volturi followed him out.

"Did we just win?" I asked confused.

"It seems like it." Namine answered. Everything stayed quiet for a minute to let this knowledge sink in. Once we knew it was for real everyone started cheering and hugging one another. We were all thankful that we were still alive. Some of us had hope that the battle would turn out this way, others weren't so sure. But in this moment everything seemed so perfect.

Authors Note: One chapter left! Thank you everyone who's read all 34 chapters of this series so far! I think I'm finally pushing past the writers block and I'll try to make the ending as soon as possible! Hopefully you liked the fight scene (in my opinion I didn't think I did a good job on it.) Reviews would be greatly appreciated. Again a big thank you to all my readers!
