Chapter 8 – The Showdown
BPOV
I hope Jacob's all right. I sent him away. If Alice's vision was accurate, then I hope I did the right thing; to send him away from this fight. Alice's new vision; the Pack was dead - because of us.
That's why I had to send Jacob away, so he wouldn't have to witness this. I don't want him to die, neither does the Pack. But if the Pack disappears, then the Volturi would keep looking for them until they are all extinct. But if only one hides, there is still a chance. A chance that my Jacob will live.
We waited for the Volturi in the field about 10 miles away from La Push. The Pack lines up in a straight line, next to the Cullens. I walk in the woods, thinking about Jacob one last time before I get back the line. I walked to a tree that looks all too familiar. It just happens that this tree was the one tree where Jacob and I first met. I grabbed a branch from the floor and wrote on the trunk of the tree with a heart around it:
JB
CB
4EVER
I replayed all of those happy memories of us together in my head.
Flashback
Jacob and I walked in the forest hold hands.
"Jacob, I love you." I said out of the blue. I felt so nervous, but it felt so right saying that.
"I love you too." We both smiled. After we looked into each other's eyes, I placed my lips on his. We leaned on a tree and we stayed there for the rest of the day in each other's arms.
End Flashback
"Bella. They are here." I heard Carlisle say. Let the showdown begin.
(A/N: I so would love to stop here, but I'm too nice.)
I ran back to the where everybody waited for the Volturi. I stood next to Carlisle, who was standing besides Esme. On my left was where Sam stood.
I could smell their scent coming toward us. They were a mile away. But something was wrong. Their scent was missing something. They were missing-
They came in different color cloaks. The three in the middle wore dark black cloaks, while the other four wore a light black cloak.
I saw Aro take off his dark black hood first. He stood just 6 yards in front of us. Marcus and Caius took off theirs right after. They stood on each side of Aro. Then Jane, Alec and Demitri took off their hoods. Felix took off his last.
"Where's your army Aro?" I said coldly. I got right to the point.
"Ah, Miss Isabella. It is so good to see you." Aro started.
"Don't even try to sweet talk me."
"Why, Isabella? why would I do that?" Aro asked innocently.
"I know why you're here. And I'm not going to do allow it." I snapped.
"Why am I here then? Why don't you show me?"
"You're here because you want to execute the shape shifters! But they did nothing wrong!"
"Did they?"
"No they didn't!"
"Theie exitintion is all we need to do what we have to do!" I heard Caius say defensively. Okay, did I just hear Caius talk? Something is really wrong here.
"Why don't you show me, Isabella?"
"Bella's not gonna go to you alone. I'm coming with you." Sam said.
"Me too." Emmett walked to me. All three of us walked toward Aro. There was a voice in my head that kept saying, "Something is terribly wrong. Go back. Go back." I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
We finally reached two feet in front of Aro. I put my hand out. Aro did the same. Aro closed my eyes. After about 30 seconds later, Aro opened his eyes. "We are done here." He looked at Marcus and Caius. They nodded their hands. He looked at Jane; she had no expression on her face. I stared at Jane. What was the matter with her?
I heard Jasper sniff the air. Soon, everybody on the other side of the field started sniffing the air too. I sniffed the air. A scent was sprinting our way. Jacob.
Jacob came running toward the Volturi; more like right toward Aro. Jacob, in his werewolf self, eyed Aro with those dead black eyes. Wait a second, dead black eyes? Jacob had sweet brown eyes. This isn't right. Jacob walks toward Aro and pushed Alec to the floor. Jane's face wasn't blank anymore. She was full with anger now. She was trying to create an illusion oh pain to Jacob, but it didn't work. Did I put my shield on him? I checked back at the Cullens. They were frozen in my shield. Apparently, with my shield they couldn't move. (A/N: Bella's shield can also block other people from moving from in and out of the shield.) Emmett ran in front of Jacob. "Man, don't go there." Jacob growled at Emmett and pushed him on the floor too. Sam tried too and landed flat on the floor. I grabbed Jacob and threw him at a tree.
"Jacob! What in the world are you doing?" I yelled at him as I approached him. I grabbed his arms with both hands and looked into those evil black eyes. Why were they black? This isn't Jacob. I voice said inside of me. He's not the one you love. Where have I heard this voice before? I couldn't think anymore. Something was ringing in my head. I screamed. I fell on the floor. A few seconds later, I felt a warm set of hands on my arms. "Bella, sweetie, it's alright. I'm here." Jacob was back. I looked up. I didn't see the black eyes anymore, all I saw was Jacob. "Jacob." I whispered. "Something has gone terribly wrong. You gotta get out of here."
"I'm not going anywhere Bella. Not without you." Then Jacob changed again. Those black eyes came back. Jacob threw me down and went toward Aro again. Aro just froze there. Why didn't he get out of there when he could of? Jacob looked right into Aro's eyes. "You took everything away from me. My life, my family, my girlfriend. Now, I'm going to take everything you care about. Starting with her." Jacob said, pointing to Jane. But it wasn't his voice. It was cold, evil and dark. This wasn't right. This could be all just a dream. All I have to do is close my eyes –
"Bella!" I heard Alice screamed. I took my invisible shield back and let them loose. Alice ran towards me, and helped me up. "Bella, what's going on?"
"I honestly don't' know Alice. Are you sure your vision was correct?"
"I'm positive. This is not what I saw at all."
"Something's off Alice. Something's off."
I saw Jasper and Emmett trying to pull Jacob away from Aro, while Alec and Felix trying to get Jane out of here. "No!" Jane cried. "I'm going to finish him off." I don't know how, but Jane got Alec and Felix on the ground, face flat. Jane turned to Jacob, trying her power again. I threw my protective shield over Jacob. Somehow, Jane's power reflected onto my shield, and hit Marcus. Marcus screamed.
"What in the world?" Rose said as I ran to Jacob. Whoever he is.
"Jacob. Listen to me. This is not you. You are Jacob Black. You are supposed to protect humans from vampires. But they are not going to hurt anybody. Okay?"
Jacob, or whoever he is didn't listen to me. He tried to break my shield. "No!" I screamed. Another pain in my head started to hit me hard.
"Well look who's finally feeling some pain now." Jane said, walking toward me. "Guess you're not so tough without your precious shield now are you?"
"No!" I screamed and took my shield back. I let Jacob free.
"Bella!" He screamed. He ran toward me, but Alec used his power on him. Jacob fell on the ground, unconscious. Luckily, Emmett tackled him. Embry grabbed Alec, and threw him at a tree, killing the tree's trunk. Jasper took Alec and threw him at another tree. Alice, Rose and Leah were already fighting Jane. Carlisle, Sam, Seth and Paul were fighting Marcus and the rest of the vampires were getting Demitri. Aro was mine. Emse took Jacob and said, "Jacob will be fine. I will take good care of him." I nodded and ran to get back in the fight, not looking back at Esme or even Jacob. All I could care about was making sure Aro would not hurt my family anymore than he already has.
"Well Isabella, I guess it's time to make my leave. Farewell, my friend. I hope we will see each other soon."
I went for it. I almost tackled to the ground, but Jacob ran past me and tackled Aro. Aro fell on the ground. Jacob went on top of him, and started to punch him over and over again. How could that be? Jacob was unconscious just a second ago! I smelled something in the air again. Something about that scent wasn't right. It was similar, and it was not. Could it be that the Volturi had a secret weapon? Could it be they have outsmarted us the entire time? No, it couldn't be. That scent was so familiar now. I knew who it is. But it couldn't be! He was supposed to die 10 years ago! It was him. I could see him now. He was walking toward Jacob and I. With a grin on his face. It was Chris.
