Wow, two chapters in two days? I'm getting good. Jokes, the only reason this is being posted is because LeeLee Lollipop kept her promise and threatened me today. Thank her.

There's a quote from the prologue of Twilight as well

Chapter 8

BPov

I could feel the pounding of feet on the ground around me; hear the malicious laughter of who I assumed was Victoria. If it wasn't for those two things, I could've sworn I was dead. The intense pain in my legs seemed to have doubled and I could barely hear my own thoughts over the sound of my head pounding.

Under my nails I could feel the gritty, cold earth. I could feel the sun on my face which, in any other situation, would've calmed me. This time, however, it did not. Keeping my eyes closed, still unready to accept my fate, I began to think of all everything that had happened in this small amount of time. I wonder if Jared is okay? Unless Victoria got to him, his wolf genes should have fixed up any injuries he may have sustained. I thought of Charlie, how much it would pain him to have lost his daughter. My mother would be fine. Of course she would be upset, but she had Phil to rely on, Charlie had no-one. Next I thought of Angela, I had promised her I would let her know when I was home safely. I never would get to make that call. I thought of the wolves and their imprints, how the tribe would react to my death. Lastly I thought of Jasper, who, in such a short amount of time had managed to capture my heart and my mind. He would blame himself for my death, no doubt, but he had friends, family, who cared about him.

I'd never given much thought into how I would die, but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. Dying at the hands of a sadistic vampire who had lost her mate. In a way, I pitied her.

Finally accepting that today was the day that I would leave this world, I opened my eyes.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Victoria, Edward and Alice all stood laughing. To my other side was a group of around 25 newborn vampires, all staring at me with longing. This confused me. I was bleeding heavily and these vampires were all human drinkers. Why hadn't they attacked me yet? That's when I noticed the shimmering bubble surrounding me. Stood, just at the edge was an older looking vampire who had several scars on his arms. As I studied him I realised it was Riley Biers who had gone missing about 6 months ago. I recognised his face from some posters Charlie had to put up around Forks. He looked at me with pity in his eyes.

Edward must have read something in his mind as his eye flicked to me.

"She's awake." He murmured.

Victoria looked at me, revenge glittering in her eyes. "Well Miss Swan, now that you've graced us with your presence maybe we can get this show on the road?"

Another vampire came running out of the forest. "They've realised. We have about 2 minutes before we have company."

Victoria smirked. "It seems your friends are on their way. It seems a shame to have to kill someone as beautiful as Jasper but if it happens, it happens."

My chest constricted. Jasper and the wolves were on their way here. Here they would come face to face with a newborn army. I knew they had been training but I didn't know whether they would be prepared for this. I knew the wolves; they wouldn't go down without a fight and Jasper would refuse to back down if offered the chance. He was just too stubborn.

I had hoped that Victoria could just have killed me and moved on but clearly she was set out to hurt everyone I loved aswell.

She smirked at me, knowing that she had the upper hand.

"If everybody follows the plan we should be able to do this without a hitch. Win this war and you all get two humans each."

The surrounding vampires all widened their eyes with obvious anticipation for the battle.

"Why?" I whispered, broken.

"You want to know why Swan? Because of you my mate was killed. Murdered for simply wanting to drink from a human. All that blame is on your shoulders. And now I'm bringing your own mate here, to fight for you and to die!"

Her words shocked me. My mate? Victoria began to cackle as realisation took over. Jasper was my mate. He was going to die. There was nothing I could do to save him or the wolves.

"What will you do to me?" I asked.

"I might just keep you as a pet. Let you feel the pain I feel at the loss of a mate. That way you'll know just how I felt that day when you took James away from me."

The un-named vampire who had run from the woods whispered "10 seconds."

"Everybody ready!" Victoria shouted. She scooped me up in her arms, unaffected by the bubble that still surrounded me. She was flanked on either side by Alice and Edward, then by an even number of newborns on either side.

We waited exactly 10 seconds before Jasper and all the wolves emerged from the tree line. I was shocked to see that even Colin and Brady were there; their small forms making them seem like easy targets.

It broke my heart as I looked at each of the faces, knowing that they would soon meet their fate. I looked at Jasper last. I knew he could feel how much pain I was in and, not wanting my pain to be the last thing he felt, I sent him a wave of love, admiration and pride.

A few seconds later everybody charged, Victoria included. I could feel her moving, running straight through the centre of the carnage, heading for the woods on the other side of the clearing.

Sam lunged for us. Victoria dropped me in order to fight off Sam. Despite the pain in my legs, I desperately tried to turn away and reach out to Jasper.

"I love you." I whispered softly, defeat clear in my voice.

He started running towards me before he was surrounded by at least 10 of the newborns.

Victoria had managed to push Sam away and now hauled me back into her arms. She set off at a run as I looked behind us.

Knowing that this was the last time I would probably see my friends and family I sobbed helplessly.

As we ran into the forest I accepted that I was going to die. I knew that, without a doubt, Victoria would not stop until I was dead.

One thing I did not notice though was the group of 10 vampires that raced onto the clearing and began to help Jasper and the wolves.

I did not know that there was still hope.

Please don't kill me
