A/N Hey everyone x Wasn't New Moon so AWESOME!! Hahaha, it was soooo good! Anyway I thought I had better update since I updated Hush and Tell me why (: So Enjoy xxx
A head fell to the floor with a thump and rolled over, a tumble of black hair and pale skin. I squeezed my eyes as the head came to a rest at my foot. I peeked and staring up at me where someone else's eyes. Dead, haunted eyes. I looked up and saw Jasper, holding the body beside a cowering Alice. A wave of relief rolled over me. There were gasp of shock and hisses of anger. Alice then flung herself into Jaspers open arms, hugging him fiercely.
"Thanks so much." I heard Alice mumble to Jasper before giving him a shy smile. Jasper returned the smile. His gaze was intense, love making his eyes dance.
"I couldn't let you die. I love you." He said staring into Alice's eyes. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a new born shift around. He had black spikey hair and red eyes. Ross was etched in his features. Suddenly he lunged at Jasper so I pounced and caught him mid way to Jasper. His arm reached out and grabbed my throat and began to squeeze down. With my right leg I kicked out and caught him on his leg, which buckled and he dropped me. I fell to the floor and roll over as he tried to stamp on my head. There was a blur of muscles as Emmett slammed into him. Emmett ran over and grabbed his feet and arms. In brute strength he pulled. The vampire let out a scream of pain before he was ripped clean in half, his face still etched in a scream. A little red lighter flew at me so I grabbed it and set alight a patch of dry grass and Emmett threw the body onto it. Everyone stood frozen as thick purple smoke arose from the flames.
"Don't!" screamed Victoria as another two lunged at me. I quickly step sided them and they ran straight into a, now, really mega pissed Rosalie. She caught them around the waist and shoved one with blinding speed to Edward. He held her and she began thrashing trying to get free.
"Anyone tries that again and I will kill you like Emmett did." He snarled and shoved the new born into the arms of her mate, who was ready to jump in between Edward and the girl. They looked around, grabbed hands and ran, abandoning their master in the time of his greatest need.
"Please let me go, I'm sorry." Sobbed the girl that Rosalie had locked in her arms. She looked around 16. I didn't have to be able to feel her emotions to know that she is terrified and confused. Rosalie looked at her, her face softening.
"Please, I want to go home. I want my daddy." She sobbed sinking to the floor, holding fistfuls of grass. She sobbed into the ground. Esme went to hug her but Carlisle got there first.
"Go, child. I have a house far east, please go and wait for me there." Carlisle said softly, pure honesty etched in his eyes. Carlisle looked at Alice, who nodded. The girl stood up, her long auburn hair tumbling to her back.
"They won't hurt me, will they" she whispered looking at the army, most in particular, James and Victoria. Alice shook her head.
"No dear." Carlisle smiled. They girl then flung her arms around Carlisle and Rosalie pulling them into a hug, taking them off guard.
Carlisle held his hands out, offering peace. "We don't need to fight to sort this. No one else has to die tonight, if you please leave. This will get out of control; I cannot bear to lose a member of my family, as I'm sure you do." Carlisle said softly. He looked at all the new born. They are all very young, age. I'm guessing the oldest being 23, youngest 14. "You don't have to fight. We don't want to hurt you. It doesn't have to come down to these outcomes." Carlisle looked at all the new born vampires for a few seconds. As his eyes fell on James, his eyes went darker as rage built inside him. He took a deep calming breath and took a step back.
The youngest new born caught my eye. In her eyes could see the raw fear in her eyes. Help me she mouthed. I nodded and beckoned her to come to me. She hesitated before walking towards me. James eye brows furrowed as he looked at her. I felt that familiar urge to protect my family and everyone from them. Suddenly there was a warm feeling, like a ball of light, in my stomach. Is this my shield?
"Yeah, get her Maddie!" James chuckled. She slowly walked and stood behind me and my family. James mouth fell open and his eyes narrowed to slits. His hand clenched into a fist and he took a menacing step forwards.
"How dare you!" He screamed as she cowered behind us. She took a deep breath and stepped out, finding her confidence.
"No, how dare you create us to fight your battles! You took my life away from me and you expect me to defend you! I'm not on your side, I'm not on any but I won't fight against the Cullen's. They are good vampires. They are not like the stories you told us! They let they two girls go! They could have killed them but they didn't. They are good people. They won't kill us, unless we threaten them. I won't fight. But if it comes to it, I will fight against you but I will not take part in any of your sick plans! You sick twisted bastard!" she hissed at James taking a step forwards. Emmett laughed as James threw a side way glance at Victoria. I looked around. Here was my family and Maddie, ready to fight. On the other side was James, Victoria and Autumn along with their army. Everyone's body was positioned, ready for the fight. Everyone was sizing everyone up, creating plans. Occasionally, they would look at Edward and her would nod or shake his head. I didn't look at Edward. I can't, although I can feel his intense gaze burning holes in my back. I so badly want to look at him, his beautiful face but I can't. Our argument is too raw in my mind. I can't forget all those things he said to me.
"Why!" Edward growled at Autumn. She giggled a high pitched laugh and looked around, as if to answer the question.
"Why? Why! Ha! I was working for my master." She cast an admiring look at James. "I was to isolate Bella, make her feel like she was alone. That's why I fed you a false vision. You see I have a power. I am invincible. I can manipulate thoughts and stuff but I can make my thoughts and feeling do that. It's my choice; I can turn it off if I wanted to. I think I caught the manipulating talent from my other half." She sniffed and lowered her eyes.
"You were using me." Edward stated. "That's fine because I was using you. I was beating Bella at her own game." He smiled at her as her mouth fell open. She scoffed at him.
"Liar!" She shrieked. Edward shook his head.
"Autumn, we let you into our home, our family. How could you do this to us?" Asked Esme, her voice wobbling. Autumns face went soft but she turned away.
"Because I could." She said simply.
"I treated you like a daughter! And this is what you do! Lure my family to their death!" Esme shriek her arms failing.
Autumn suddenly screamed out in frustration. "You killed them! Ross and Peter! My brother and mate! You fucking killed the love of my life, this is nothing compared to what I wanted to do to you. I wanted to torture every single one of you! I was going to make you all torture your other half! See what it feels like to lose the one you love! What makes it so much worse is that I hadn't told him I loved him that day. I always did and that day, I forgot. That day he died, I forgot to kiss him. I want to see him so much it hurts. I want to hold him, kiss him one last time and I can't. Do you know what that feels like? Do you? No. I do. Every inch of my body yearns for him. I phone him sometimes hoping he will pick up the phone. There are millions of messages on his answer machine. I can't bear to erase my memories and keepsakes of his. It hurts so much. My love for him is torturing me and it's your entire fault! Your bastard fucking family! I will kill you all if it's the last thing I do!" She swore.
Suddenly Esme eyes turned flat black and she flew at Autumn. I felt my mouth fall open as she quickly drew back her fist and punched Autumn square in the face. There was a great bang as Autumn flew backwards, hitting several trees. She turned and came back and her eyes had turned gold. Her eyes brows furrowed then realisation hit her.
"Jasper!" she scolded. Jasper and Alice were doubled over, shaking with silent laughter. Emmett let out a booming laugh as Autumn ran back, rage burning in her eyes. She darted forwards towards Esme.
"You bitc-"she was cut off as Rosalie lashed out and snapped her arm off, as she was about to slap Esme. Her face contorted and a shadow of fear fell across her face.
"I'm sorry!" she cried but it was too late. Her wide eyes darted towards James who was watching. "Master help me please! Help me!" She screamed. James shook his head. A new born went to dart out but James flung out his hand, telling him not to go.
"Don't mess with my family bitch!" I hissed and ripped her head off with a metallic screech. Her body fell forwards and I picked it up and threw it onto the fire. The fire hissed and spat but began to burn her body. More thick purple smoke drifted into the air.
"Don't you dare touch her!" Edward snarled at James who held his hands up. He grinned and with a snap of his fingers, all the new born vampires all lunged in a different direction. I looked around but was caught right away. I was gripped by 4 vampires and was hoisted in the air. I began to kick out and squirm out of their vice grip but it was useless.
"Get off me! Help!" I screamed to the forest that was disappearing beneath my feet. Figures were running about everywhere and I realised more had joined us. There were distant metallic squeals in the forest that was disappearing rapidly. Suddenly all my feelings bubbled over and I threw my head back and screamed.
"Edward!" I cried, knowing it was useless. Dry sobs burst out of my chest and I began to tremble. Roads and houses began to flash by. Suddenly we stopped dead in the middle of the trees. In the air were new scents. Vampires. I looked up and was met with milky red eyes. Upon seeing my face he smiled.
"Bella!" He breathed. I stared around, frightened. I felt hands on my face and he turned my head to look at me.
"I have waited so long for you Bella! But where is Alice?" He looked around us, seeing no Alice. He growled softly under his breath.
"Damn! I need them both. You will not be rewarded! We had an agreement. Bella and Alice." He said softly as Victoria let out a wail.
"Please, please we will get her for you! I will personally get her now!" She pleaded on her knees at Aro's feet. He smirked and turned to look at another vampire, as if you say 'See!'
"Go. Get her. Bring her back and only her." He said and Victoria rushed away sending a flurry of leaves behind her.
"Let me go!" I cried struggling against the hands that held me. Aro reached out a hand and stroked my face. I snapped my teeth at his fingers and moved my head away.
"Feisty. I like it." He smiled licking his lips while he looked at me.
"You better let me go now! I swear or-"I screamed but he cut me off.
"Or what? Your family will come and get you? Do you want them to die? I swear I will kill them in front of you if they come for you." Aro snarled. I flinched and sank back as images of my family sprang into my head. They were all dead and dismantled. Tears that would fall pricked my eyes. I can't let them risk their lives for me. They have done so much for me. Took me in, helped me. Saved my life. They can't die for me. That's if they survive the army…
"Let go of me you bitch!" I hear Alice cry behind me. I turned my head around just in time to see Victoria drag Alice in.
"No! Let her go, have me only me, please!" I cried to deaf ears.
"Alice dear!" Aro exclaimed in delight. "How nice to see you." He smiled. Alice was looking a bit rough. He clothes were torn and she was covered in mud and twigs. Upon seeing me she cried out.
"I'm sorry Bella, it's my entire fault. I knew he was after me, but it's my fault he's got you." she whimpered.
"Where are you taking us?!" I demanded. Aro turned from me and Alice before answering.
"Volterra." And with that we were off. Alice began to cry beside me. I kicked the vampire in the groin, not knowing if it would hurt but he let me go anyway. I tried to grab Alice but she was held tight. She looked at me.
"Go, run Bella, I will get away!" And she shoved me away. I took off running as smooth as water. I weaved in and out of the trees like smoke.
"Victoria!" Aro shouted. I ran faster as I heard Victoria rush up behind me. A kick to the back of the legs made me fall forwards. I jumped up as Victoria's arms locked around me.
"Caught again. Honestly Bella, do stop this, its pissing me off!" she snarled in my ear. I lashed out and struggled to get away. Her bright orange hair blew about in the wind.
"Let her go!" cried a familiar voice. Rosalie emerged from the trees. Relief washed over me and I struggled harder to get free.
"Rosalie!" I cried but I was drowned out by Victoria.
"Please Rosalie, I need her! If I give her to Aro, I will be given my own Immortal baby." At the mention of baby, I saw something change in Rosalie's eyes.
"What do you mean?" Rosalie demanded.
"Aro will give me an Immortal baby if I hand over Bella. Aro can give you one if you help me get her to him. All you have to do is help me take Bella to Volterra. Think about it. It's a one in a life time chance in exchange for one measly friend. You have plenty of other friends but what you don't have is a baby. A baby Rosalie, your own Immortal baby!" She gushed.
"My own baby" Rosalie whispered, pure longing in her eyes and a smile appearing on her face...
