Chapter Two

I stumbled as I landed in the battlefield – typical of me. My wand fell out of my hand, and I unconsciously muttered, "Accio wand." It flew into my hand again, and I started walking towards the sound of battle.

Suddenly I was grabbed from behind, so I pointed my wand behind me and flung a spell at my attacker. "Confringo!" Since I knew what I would be facing, it was a spell that incinerated the target. A scream of pain, filled with feral rage, told me that I hadn't missed. Another newborn raced at me from the side, and I sent the same spell – his? – way.

After much deliberation, I decided that is might be beneficial to control one of the newborns, to be a non-magical offensive fighter. "Imperio!" I sent my newly controlled vampire after another, and then quickly realized that it would be faster to do it the way I had been before. "Confringo!" They both burst into flames, screeching as they did.

In the heat of battle, I didn't recognize the next vampire that cane running at me. All I knew was that he looked vaguely familiar, so I traded the deadly attack for a merely incapacitating one. "Crucio!" I cried, pointing my wand at him he collapsed, convulsing. I walked up to him so that I could discover his identity. "Emmett! What are you doing?" I pulled the spell off of him, and he leaped up.

"I could ask you the same question! What did you do! What are you doing?" Emmett was as enraged as he could possibly be without killing me.

"This," I said, and flung the incineration spell at a lurking newborn. Emmett flinched when I sent the spell past his head. He spun around, and his eyes widened at the sight of the burning newborn.

"That is…so cool! What was it you did to me earlier? It felt like what Jane does," said Emmett.

"That," I answered, "was the Cruciatus Curse. All it does is torture people."

"What are you?" he inquired.

I shrugged. "I'm a witch. I always have been. I was placed here in Forks so that I would be relatively safe. C'mon, let's go kick some newborn butts."

"Yeah! Now you're talking my language!"

We went off. He tore them apart, while I incinerated them afterwards and burned as many as I could while he tore the specific one apart. We decimated their numbers. One of the biggest problems, however, came towards the end of the fight. Jasper, overcome with his bloodlust, had come after me. Before anyone could do anything – and by now, most of the Cullens were gathered in one spot – I had shouted, "Immobulus!" Jasper froze, mid-leap. Neither I nor Emmett had bothered to tell the other Cullens of my talents, and Edward was still…somewhere, so he couldn't read Emmett's mind to find out. They all gasped, and looked at me in shock, even Alice, who was almost never surprised. But I supposed that I shouldn't have been shocked to see her shocked. After all, I had cast a spell on her so that she couldn't see my future. I had taken that precaution just a couple of days before the battle.

"What did you do to him?" said Alice, who would be in tears if that was possible for her anymore.

"It's alright, it's only temporary," I said, still holding my wand toward him so as to keep the spell active.

"How temporary?" Her voice was quavering.

"I could take it off him at any time, with no repercussions," I replied. She gave me a meaningful look. "I'll take it off," I said, "if you can hold him down when I do. Be glad I didn't use the Cruciatus Curse."

Alice looked confused. "What is the Cruciatus Curse?"

Emmett answered this question. "Think of Jane. It's about the same thing." Alice asked how he knew. "I surprised her," he stated simply. He grimaced as if experiencing it again. At that moment, Edward came barreling into the clearing. He crushed me against him in a fervent hug.

"What are you doing here? You could've been killed? I thought we had an agreement!" he stopped talking as he heard what the others were thinking. His eyes widened. "Will you show me?" he inquired. I nodded, but freed Jasper first. He fell to the ground. I thought of a harmless spell.

"Levicorpus," I stated, and he was dangled upside down by his ankles. Emmett burst out laughing. I allowed myself a small smile. "Liberacorpus." I muttered the counter spell. On his feet once again, Edward smiled his crooked smile. Weird. It didn't make me feel all tingly like it usually did. He hugged me again.

That was when the Volturi showed up.

"Touching," said Jane's voice. "Last goobyes." Apparently she hadn't seen what came before, or else she wouldn't have said that.

Surprising everyone there, I said, "Oh, shut up Jane." She was not too happy about that. Leaping at me, she only got about halfway before I downed her with the Cruciatus Curse. "Crucio!" I walked up to her writhing body, slowly and deliberately. "This is what you do to people, Jane. How you torture them." Her eyes widened a bit, and her mouth formed the word 'witch'. "That's right, Jane, I'm a witch. What you planned to do no longer takes effect. Am I right?" She nodded. "Well, in that case…." I trailed off, and took the curse off of her.

She sighed and went back to her side of the clearing.

"Let's go, people." The Volturi got their bearings and went off, running quickly away.

Soon after, another group of people showed up. I jumped and ran over to meet them. "Harry! Ron! Hermione! What are you guys doing here? Oh, and hello, Professor Snape." I embraced them each in turn, excepting the Professor.

Harry answered me. "We've come to take you back to Hogwarts," he said. "Voldemort's been making appearances, and we need you."

I sighed. "Alright. Just…let me say goodbye."

"Fine. But we told you to try not to get to close to anyone. We knew this would happen eventually," he replied.

I said goodbye to my vampire family, and then we left.
