Merry Christmas, guys!

I'll try to get the next chapter up on Christmas day, promise!

Chapter 18

Through Cassie's eyes

Bella was going to spend the weekend with "Alice." Which was not so cool with my mother and me. We decided to check up on them every so often. How exactly do benders check up on vampires? Flying, of course. Every few hours when we got bored, one of us flew over, and skimmed our hand on the roof, checking for heartbeats.

It would have been easier if the wind wasn't so strong, but that didn't pose for much of a problem with an air bender.

So, the Cullen's, the wolves, Bella, and I were all going to the clearing again. Something about taking on multiple opponents? I don't know, I really didn't pay much attention to the actual lesson. I paid more attention to the actions of the wolves, wondering when they were going to pounce on the vampires.

The clouds were plentiful tonight, so the stars were harder to find. I considered flying up there and bending the clouds away, but then I realized I'd leave the wolves to the Cullen's. With my luck, that's when they would strike and I'd miss all the action.

Jacob and Bella laid down in the grass a dozen yards away or so from me. Jacob was in his wolf form and Bella leaned into his fur. I wanted to push him away. Bella forgave people too easily, and Jacob was taking advantage of that.

Jacob didn't seem to like me very much after I voiced my opinions.

I stood still in the middle of a new meadow, barefoot. I could feel the Cullen's unnecessary breathing, the wolves' heavy heart beats, Bella's shivering up the mountain, but I hadn't felt the newborn's footsteps yet.

Funny things, footsteps. No two people's are alike. I had learned the Cullen's footfalls after being constantly aware of them. The wolves, well, I didn't really need to know the difference in the wolves, for I would never be fighting them.

Suddenly, I could feel them, a lot of them. They were about a mile away, already heard by the Cullen's and wolves, who were all looking in that direction anxiously.

They had a strategy. They were running head first into the newborns. Since I was standing behind them and was being effectively used as bait, I'll just let them come to me. Besides, the newborns would probably soil their pants when lightning came out of my fingertips.

I could see them barreling through towards me, the bait. The Cullen's ran at them, taking down the first six. The wolves lunged, taking out another eight. That left the rest to me. Six newborns rushed at me, teeth bared.

I swept my foot through the air, leaving a trail of fire behind it. They leeches were shocked enough to stop, allowing me time to run some voltage through two. I quickly set their remains on fire. A female, about Bella's age, lunged. I sliced clean through her with water I had previously gathered. Setting her on fire, I moved to the next one, only to find that there was none. Every single person was engaged in combat.

A little stunned that I wasn't needed, I watched the valley carefully, waiting to step in if necessary. I watched Leah take down the last one, but he was too much. By the time Jacob stepped in, I was running over to them.

The vampire got his arms around Jake. No, no, no! No one is dying today. The vampire squeezed Jake with his arms. I heard a pain whine that had me slashing the vampire in half. His stone body crumbled. Jake fell to the ground.

I was only a few feet away now. Taking all of the water I could out of whatever plants were around, I bent the cool water to his side. Jacob tried to scoot away.

"Oh hush. I'm trained to heal, you'll be fine. Everything is going to be okay." I soothed him. I saw the water glowing in the strange blue that had been held up to my wounds so many times. Oh, wow, he really got him.

Healing him as best as I could by setting the bones in place, Sam made him phased, and suddenly the dead meadow surrounded by dead trees was filled with naked Quileutes.

"Whoa. Imagine what you could do with that ability." Alice whispered to me.

"Yeah, I know." I whispered back. If only I could help.

Wait a second? Was Cassie being nice?

Alright, so a little action there for you guys.

Be honest, how are the action scenes? Boring? Confusing? So amazingly awesome you want to write your own? (Just kidding!)

Also, I already have this story finished, but if post it all at once, no one will see it.

And if you really get bored, go back and read chapters three through whatever, where Cassie firsts mentions vampires. You'll be able to understand why she was saying the things she did. Plus, it's pretty funny watching Bella trying to figure it out, because it's obvious what Cassie does connects to what she is.

Just a little info on the way I wrote these "Books."

New Moon

New Moon focuses mostly on getting to know Cassie a little better, and even then, I hoped you picked up on some strange vibes coming from that girl.

Eclipse

Eclipse focuses on what Cassie is. In this book, you learn all about what Cassie can do, and how well she is able to do it.

Breaking Dawn

Breaking Dawn is longer than the New Moon and Eclipse books combined. It focuses mostly on Cassie's inner struggle between good and evil. I don't want to give too much away, but you read about Cassie's past and why she is with the Swan family. You'll also meet someone called "Grumpy Cassie." She's snappy when she's agitated. You get to meet a few more benders, and you find out she has a pet dragon! How cool is that?

COMMENT QUESTIONS!

What do you think Cassie will do when Renesmee enters the picture?

What do you think she'll do when the Volturi come after the Cullens?

What do you think made Cassie and her mom join the Swan family?

What's your impression of Cassie? What kind of person do you think she is?

I really want to know what you think!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
