Date: Monday, June 5
Place: Outside the Cullen Home
The wind was chill outside but I didn't feel it as it attempted to nip at my skin; I was much colder than the wind. The few strands of hair in my face flew in the wind whipping in my face; my arms were wrapped around myself in comfort. I stared out into the forest in thought a serious look covering my usually carefree face.
"Evian", I turned from the trees to see my wife staring at me with a worried glaze. We stared at each other for a moment before I turned back to the trees. I could sense Rosalie move toward me, I could sense her every movement, everyday. She was a part of me in every way possible; she was in my soul, my heart, and my very being. We were like magnets, if she moved, I moved.
"What if I lose you", I whispered quietly not meeting my wife's glaze too worried I would lose this hard casing I had created around myself to ready myself for the fight. I could only hear Rosalie's quiet breathing as the wind stilled in waiting for her answer.
"You won't lose me", my eyes shot to her when she made the strong voiced declaration.
"You don't know that", I said with a slight edge to my voice. I was usually the one never to see the possibilities and Rosalie the one who worried; the stages had reversed this time.
"I do know that", she cupped my chin in her fingers making me look at her. I finally met her glaze and I felt my heart falling apart to see her loving glaze. She grabbed my hand and placed it over where her once beating heart was. "I can feel it here my love, we will continue to live together; we will live", she gave a solid nod before embracing me. I closed my eyes letting her body encase me and shield me from the wind…and the dangers that were to come.
We walked into the house hand and hand, the whole family solemn and in their own heads; readying themselves for the fight. "Bella is safe?" I asked Carlisle who nodded. I nodded feeling a little better that my friend would be safe with Edward and one of the young wolves, Seth.
"We should be making our way to the battlefield now", Jasper said walking in with his hands behind his back. Each any every one of us took a brief moment to hug one another worrying it would be the last. I kissed Rosalie passionately, clutching her to me.
"I love you", I whispered gently leaning my forward against hers for a brief moment of trying to remember how she felt against me.
"I love you too", she whispered back and we separated a serious look on either of our faces. I slid my hand from hers and made my way next to Jasper. We nodded to each other remembering everything we had studied and worked for to win this battle.
"Remember are goal, don't hesitate", ordered Jasper in the front yard with leadership practically oozing from his pores. We all nodded listening intently, I stood with Emmett needing to ignore how my heart yelled to keep Rosalie close; the feeling could get me killed with distractions.
"Work together, we all have a common enemy", I added in everyone turning to me and nodding in agreement.
"Correct, let's go", ordered Jasper and we all turned to the left like an army. We all took off into the woods to where I fate awaited us.
Sometime Later
"I hear them", whispered Esme as we heard the snapping of twigs and the rustling of leaves as the newborns came rushing forward through the forest. I felt myself quivering all the thoughts and worries running through my head over and over again. I fought my need to glance over at Rosalie who stood next to me crouched in a similar position ready to charge.
The newborns appeared out of the trees rushing at us. "Go", whispered Jasper and I took off into a run with my family. Jasper running faster than all of us; I on his left following close behind and Emmett on his right was doing the same. The newborns and we were closer and closer almost meeting the middle of the clearing.
I locked similar ruby red eyes with the newborn in front of me and charged faster. It happened quickly like an explosion as I grabbed her by her arm ripping it off and flipping her over my shoulder. I kicked a hole through another newborn. I bent over and another newborn went flying over my shoulder. I kicked another man tearing his head off.
I realized I was being brought into a circle when several newborns closed in on me. My back hit someone else's and I turned around meeting Rosalie's face. I smirked at her and she smirked back. I grabbed her arm throwing my feet at the newborn behind her kicking a hole through him. The newborns went flying at us; I flipped one over my shoulder and tore another in half. I heard a cry and shot around finding one holding my wife by the arm.
I growled and slid between both their legs grabbing him from behind biting into his neck ripping his head off.
"Thanks", she whispered before running off into another crowd of newborns. I heard a howl and shot around finding the wolves leaping over the rocks. I smirked giving myself a brief moment of joy that one of my plans worked. My eyes locked onto Leah and I went running toward her remembering our deal. She was biting into a newborn when I saw two newborns rushing toward her left side. I made an evasive movement.
Edward's POV
"Wow, Evian is doing marvelously", I muttered to a quivering Bella who watched me nervously as read Seth's mind. Evian went rushing at the female wolf which confused me until I watched from another wolves mind. She dropped to her knees so quickly the momentum made her slid under the female wolf. She bent her spine making her hair brush the ground until she went leaping up from under her. She grabbed the side of the wolf while kicking holes into both newborns with her feet. She caught herself on the side of the wolf.
Evian without a second look rushed off into the distances flipping a newborn at her wake.
Evian's POV
If I still had a heart beat it would surely be pumping a mile a minute with how quick I was taking out newborns. I paused when I saw a flash of red hair on the side lines. I paused for a second and felt some grab me from behind. I began to struggle until the newborn was ripped from me. I shot around finding them being torn apart by Jacob in wolf form. I nodded to him punching one of the newborns near him.
I rushed forward toward one of the few remaining newborns but gasped in pain as she put out something similar to signals giving pain to anyone in her reach. Even the other newborns howled in pain her power uncontained and highly dangerous.
"Evian…do it!" roared Jasper somewhere in the group as we all held our heads in pain. I stared at her feeling my power building up within me quicker than ever before. I could hear the air around me sizzling with the red aura.
"EVIAN", I heard Rosalie scream and I felt my power burst out of me making my whole body shake from fear for my wife. The girl screamed in agony and she went flying back her head snapping off from flying back so quickly. I dropped to my knees feeling rather hungry. The clearing was quiet all the newborns killed.
"Evian, are you okay?" asked Alice to me worriedly as everyone else worked quickly to put the newborns in a pile for burning.
"I'm fine", I promised her as she helped me up. She gasped pausing to help me up and I looked up to her staring at her waiting to know her vision. Pure panic crossed her features.
"The Volturi are on their way any minute", she yelled out for everyone to hear.
"You must go, if they find out about you all they will try to kill you", warned Esme to the wolves who growled in understandment. We heard a rather loud growl and shot around finding one last newborn standing near Leah. I watched her crouch and my eyes widened.
"No Leah!" I yelled but it was too late the newborn already had her in a head lock. Jacob went running to save her but he was grabbed quickly and I heard bones crack. I went rushing with the other wolves without thinking ripping the newborn right with them. By the time I threw him into the fire Jacob lay naked on the ground howling in pain holding his right side.
"Jacob", cried out Bella running into the clearing with Edward. Carlisle kneeled next to him checking his right side.
"His whole right side is shattered, the bones are already healing out of place; I must handle the Volturi first before I can break the bones back into places", Carlisle said quickly to Sam whom nodded quickly.
"We'll take him back to Billy's", he said looking at Jacob worriedly.
"I will meet you at Billy's as quickly as possible", he nodded and all the fellow wolves lifted Jacob on their shoulders carefully. I watched him worriedly until Alice muttered about the Volturi. We all met in a line near the fire awaiting their visit.
The wind blew with a cold chill as Jane and three males followed her into the clearing.
"I'm impressed, killing so many newborns all alone", she said in a sarcastic voice her eyes unimpressed as she surveyed the area. Her eyes stopped on me and I met her glaze not intimidated by her. "Oh but it seems you missed one", we all turned to look at the young Bree who cowered behind me.
"She did not kill anyone, we offered her asylum for her surrender; she accepted", explained Carlisle with a furrowed brow.
"Who is your creator", ordered Jane before Bree fell to the ground screaming in agony. I began to feel my blood boil and I concentrated hard enough until the pain was pulled from Bree. Jane's eyes shot to me and she gave me a cold glare. She tried to push pain onto me but I fought back leaving the pain in the middle not touching anyone. "You're taunting to the Volturi is unwise Evian", she spat my name out like venom.
"My father and mother are your superior officers", I spat not fearing her one bit.
"I don't believe Aro would appreciate your attitude", she snarled out clearly losing her typical composure.
"I'm sure Aro would have any interest if I killed you, after all I can clearly succeed you in power; I'm sure if I took your place he'd be fine with it", I felt a rather evil grin grace my features to intimidate Jane. Her eyes shot back to Bree putting her nose up to ignore me; she knew my words rang true. Aro would replace her in a second if I bowed down to him to be part of his guard.
"She will tell you without the pain", answered Esme quickly with a worried glaze.
"I know", Jane said with a smirk pretending our short confrontation didn't happen.
"She has few answers, all the true secrets were kept from her", Carlisle explained to Jane who's eyes stayed on Bree to scare her.
"Her creator was a puppet of a woman named Victoria, maybe you knew her", Jane's head tilted to the side at Edward's accusation.
"Edward, if the Volturi knew her they surely would have taken care of it, right Jane?" Carlisle answered looking at Jane.
"Of course", Jane said tersely her eyes turning to Bree again.
"Felix, take care of the newborn", he went to step forward but Esme stepped forward.
"Please, give her second chance", she begged for the small girl. Jane's cold red eyes turned to Esme and her nose crinkled a little.
"The Volturi doesn't give second chances", she waved her hand and Felix stomped quickly to a cowering Bree. Felix stopped where I should before Bree and stared down at her. I met Jane's eyes glaring at her before stepping away. I couldn't question the rules of the Volturi; this wasn't a means of replacements but the rules the Volturi had created. The last thing we heard was a scream from Bree and a snap of her neck.
"As for second chances, Caius won't be happy to hear you're still alive", added Jane acting like an innocent girl just wasn't killed behind her.
"The date is set", Bella said quickly and Jane gave something close to a smirk.
"Let's go home now", she said with a bored sigh her eyes meeting mine one last time. I stared at her with an intense glaze showing I had no fear to the Volturi guard. She twisted around and the four disappeared into the forest. All of us noticeably relaxed as silence fell over us.
"Well that was fun", Emmett said sarcastically making us all chuckle a little.
I'm pleased to say the least that for my first chapter written in 2011 that it's so long. I feel rather happy about my description in the fight scene even if I could have made it a little more dramatic. Well please review because this story is about to end and I'd like to know what people think I should do for my next story. I want the people reading my stories to help me decide. As for this story I'm thinking about an epilogue right now to sort of tie it all up but it's going to be difficult to write after fifty damn chapters to write the correct ending. I'll figure it out though. Toodles!
