The battle is here! Enjoy! (:

"Okay sooo…Bella's gonna camp at a spot on the mountain…with Edward?" I knew the sound of my voice was rather skeptical but honestly it was hard to believe Edward was opting out of this a little, let alone at all.

Seth nodded and then looked at me with a shrug, "I'm gonna go up with them. Apparently no one wants me to fight-fight in the battle." I rose a brow at him as if it were obvious and I swore he almost pouted, the male looking to the side and folding his arms hard, "I just don't think it's fair."

A sigh escaped my mouth and I stood from his bed, shaking my head, "Seth, it's fair. It's to keep you safe. You're little. You're sixteen!"

"Yeah well…Jake's carrying her up the mountain to help cover Bella's scent," he said leaning back against the bed.

I nodded at that calmly while standing from his bed and heading for the door. That made sense at least. Those newborns are gonna go crazy if they catch onto the scent. Ever since it came out Vitoria was behind the whole things people have been ten times worse than before. Even over me. It made this entire mess that much more exhausting.

"Just watch your ass out there, Seth."

"You've got room to talk," he muttered softly. I looked over at him but his look had changed. I felt my brown shift to the side as I nodded softly.

"I'm going to be fine, Seth. I promise." Looking at him again I pulled off a small smile with the shake of my head, "The only thing that's gonna happen is the fledglings are gonna bite dust."

Soon that lovely smile broke across his face and he nodded instantly at me. It made my heart melt just seeing how excited he was to know we were gonna be able to fight together. Shaking my head as he stood I stared at him softly.

"You're going to keep me safe, you know that right?" I asked. Seth for a moment, didn't answer.

Instead he just stared at nothing and nodded with his lips pressed thin. On instinct I reached up and grasped his face in both hands causing him to stop. When he looked at my brown I nodded once more reassuringly.

"You're gonna be fine, Seth. We both are." Seth let off a pained expression- shutting his eyes before wrapping his arms around me instantly. It made me blink surprised but I did the same to him around his neck. It wasn't going to be easy- it never was. But this was for Bella. For Jake, for me, for the Cullens.

I shut my eyes before letting him go and then turned.

"I gotta go get ready…" He nodded calmly and I waved faintly before going away from his house and towards my car.

When I pulled out and began driving things started to pile down. Since the argument and the coming out that I was an Antiquity, things were at least settled. But that vibe kept returning. The one that came from Jake. Just like the first time when he stopped seeing me. It made me wary but he made a point to come see me every day. But things were changing. All around. My training with the Cullens grew intense. Water burning me, fire snapping and tornados forming but it was worth it. Seth and I were…very distant lately. Not as much as we could have been but enough to sadden me. I think he was more upset that I was going to be in this battle than Jacob was and he was..very upset.

I had told Charlie that I was staying with Bella and Alice over at Alice's house because the rest of the family was going camping. Naturally Bella and Edward stayed together, and I simply went to Jacob's instead. Don't get me wrong I have no problem with them being together but…I had a problem with them being alone…together.

Pulling in next to the Cullens house I grabbed my bag in the passenger seat. My eyes looked up as Jacob came around the tree, torn shorts, gray v-neck and tennis shoes like always. Bella and Edward came from behind him.

"Where are you guys going?" I asked confused. Edward had a bag and a tent and I nodded calmly, "Right. Mountain."

Bella walked up to me and hugged me instantly causing me to stop. I stood there for a moment without moving before embracing her back.

"Please be careful, Sky," she breathed. I smiled faintly with a nod and Edward nodded at me before they got into the Jeep. I looked over at Jacob who stood there easily with arms folded.

"I'm mad at you," he stated frowning. I nodded some shrugging, my bag over my shoulder limply.

"I know that." I didn't look him in the eye for the sheer fact I didn't want to be in more trouble with him than I already was. My face however was grasped and I looked up at him as he nodded down at me.

"But…I'm glad you're here." Confusion was clear on my expression and he sighed- looking my features over while his own stayed with a frown, "If you weren't here…and were with Bella…I'd worry the whole time. Even if I'm gonna worry anyway at least I can see you if you get your ass handed to you."

"Hey."

"Just sayin," he mumbled shrugging. Leaning down he caught my lips with his quickly thought it was deeper than before. Slowly he pulled away and I sighed gently. When I looked up at him once more he had something masked but I wouldn't push it.

He glanced back behind me and I knew it was at Bella and Edward before his gaze flickered back down to my own, "I have to go."

Nodding gently I hesitated- my black hair in my face some. Soon I let him go and glanced at him again.

"Be safe," I pleaded. Jacob nodded back at me before walking around me and hopped into the Jeep, all of them pulling off and out of sight. Tugging my bag over my shoulder again I turned and headed back up the steps to the Cullen house.

There was supposed to be another night before the army got there. Vitoria's army and Riley. Carlisle said that there would be no training for me tonight and instead I needed to save my energy for tomorrow.

I walked in calmly with a mumble of I was back and Emmett glanced at me from the kitchen. What he was doing in there I'd never know but he seemed to be there a lot.

"Nervous yet?" he mocked. I glared at him as I dropped my back on the counter and sat at the bar table easily.

"No." He rose a brow and I huffed softly, "Yes."

Emmett blinked but the fact of the matter was I was indeed nervous. I shouldn't have been as Edward was the one himself who said it was an easy win but..it didn't change anything. I was on a wanted list for this crazy red-head. And if anything it wasn't even me, it was Bella. Still, my stomach didn't unknot in the least. I had never fought a vampire before. The Cullens didn't count since they were like family and naturally would hold back.

Taking my jacket off I pulled the sleeves to my v-neck over my hands some, my jeans snug and my shoes off, "I just..don't want to let anyone down."

"Hey you've worked so hard," he said nodding. I look at him and he smirked faintly. "You won't let anyone down, Schyler. Ever."

"This is true. You can do this." I turned to Carlisle and saw all of them standing behind me. Esme smiled gently.

"We know you can," she reassured. I stared at her for a long time before smiling and nodded with a deep breath.

"Tomorrow then."

Tomorrow came a lot sooner than expected. I didn't sleep..couldn't even eat though Alice forced me to anyway. We had headed out earlier compared to the wolves or even the newborns though according to Alice they'd get there near the afternoon. We had about thirty minutes. I needed battle clothes apparently as Alice had said, so I just wore some of her clothes instead. Black jeggings and a black tank with a dark blue hoodie zipped was all I wore.

My black boots hit mud as we ran through the forest and I kept my speed at a minimum just as requested. Jasper ran beside me- slowing himself down to stay with me. No one wanted me to use a lot of energy until the actual battle and I could see why. I needed all I could get with all of these newborns. In training however I had found my limit was much longer now. Up to an hour straight I was able to continuously use my powers rigorously before my body would give out. Maybe an hour and fourty-five minutes if I really needed to. And according to Alice I wouldn't nearly need that much time with this battle which gave me at least a little hope.

I hadn't heard anything from Jake, Bella or Edward so I assumed they were okay. I prayed they were at least.

Speeding to a halt, we all arrived at the clearing and I saw none of the pack though that wasn't surprising. Glancing around my brown looked at Jasper curiously.

"How will they know to come here?" Jasper smiled halfly with a chuckle and pointed some.

"Bella's blood has marked most the trees over there." He looked from the other side and back down at me with a nod, "They'll be here."

"Not to mention you're here," Rosalie mumbled. I rose a brow and she shrugged though Carlisle stepped in.

"She means your scent is also drawing them in. So there's no doubt they'll show." I nodded some and looked away, instead putting my hair up in a high pony tail to keep it at bay. My locket wasn't on me because I didn't want something to happen to it but just not having it there made that feeling in the pit of my stomach grow.

I was scared. I would admit that. Wouldn't anyone be? But I had no reason to be. I had the pack and the Cullens on my side. So it calmed me down. However glancing at Jasper I could tell he knew how I felt though I desperately tried to hide it.

Breathing deeply I stood at the end beside Esme and she reached for my hand. I looked over at her and she smiled gently at me- immediately calming me down. She always did. Always would apparently.

"They're coming," Carlisle said looking at us. Esme looked at me and I felt something shift though I hid it. She squeezed my hand gently and nodded.

"We've got your back," she whispered. By this point I could hear the newborns as we stood on the other side of the field.

Alice looked at Esme. "I think she can do this," she said seriously. Esme looked at her and said nothing. Instead she looked at me.

"You're ready," she breathed. I nodded some at her. I needed to be ready even if I wasn't.

We watched the newborns came from the trees on the other side of the clearing, ready for war. I inhaled deeply, clenching my fists as I stood with the vampire's and soon the newborns shot out from the other side of the clearing like a machine was spitting them from the other side. As soon as we saw them we took off, myself in-between Esme and Emmett.

"Stay alive," Emmett muttered to me.

"You too," I replied quickly.

Everyone clashed and I front flipped over a newborn as Emmett twisted the head off. In the same exact motion my lighter was in hand, lit and shot as I swung down. The small flame blew out before a huge ball of fire shot at them easily, missing the Cullens. I put the lighter in my pocket, holding my hand out to control the flames and hit as many as I could. I turned as a girl ran through the flames and moved my other hand making her flames hotter. I could hear her scream out and I flipped backwards, avoiding the vampire coming at me and when I went to land Paul slammed down below me and I landed on his back instead. I controlled the flames to surround us before closing my fists, blowing them out and jumped as he moved and watched everyone else battle.

Paul was beside me, defeating newborns left and right while I moved my hand and wind bullets hit different newborns from flicks my fingertips gave. I quickly turned as Embry got hit by a newborn and was on the ground. Stray strands of my hair moved from the wind as I focused on him and ran towards the newborn- jumping and grasping him by the shoulder before flipping him right into the mouth of Sam.

I stood, turning once more and slammed to a halt when I saw a red-head.

Victoria.

Before I could act she turned and ran off- surprising me. I went to go after her but a girl appeared in front of me with a flash of her fangs and launched at me. I put my hand up and swing fast, hitting her face as I put a wind bubble around my fist. Instantly her head came off and behind her a male came at me with a launch. I went to defend myself but flinched to the side blocking my head as Jacob flew by taking out the vampire easily.

Thank god he was okay. Behind me Paul smashed another and I looked as Jacob was getting attacked though easily held his own. Twisting, I grabbed one behind me and flipped backwards with it in a chokehold just as I snapped the head off before kicking one behind me.

I was keeping up easily with Paul and Jacob as all three of us fought, blocking each other and Jasper was with me, both of us looking like a blur. There wasn't a lot of time and now I was distracted knowing Victoria was going towards Edward and Bella. I put my arms up to block but one but nails scratched at my face, hitting me.

I yelled out, blood trickling down into my eye when I felt slashes go across my forehead. My vision was now blurred and I stopped moving with Jacob before me and barking. All of the newborns snapped their attention to me instantly when the smell of blood hit their senses.

"Schyler!" I heard Esme yell as she came at me with the rest of the newborns. The girl I was holding off slammed her shoulder into me and I felt myself hit air. The impact sent me flying through the air like a rocket until I ricocheted off of a bolder. My ears rang and I hit the ground hard before scrambling to my feet with Alice yelling my name.

Emmett was at my side with Rosalie and Alice and I heard Jacob was behind them defending us.

"I'm fine," I said quickly, watching behind them as they stared at me. I put both hands up, swinging them down and the vampires went off of their feet and through the air. Reaching up, I wiped the remaining blood off with the back of my hand so I could see and went on.

We all scattered fast and went to different targets. I, unfortunately, got more due to the fact I had blood on me. Carlisle stayed behind me as Jacob stayed in front of me. Both of them fighting off the extra ones. The army was dimming down and I saw a blond one run after Victoria towards the woods.

Damn. Now two were heading towards Seth, Bella and Edward. It dawned on me Seth was up there and I felt panic rise.

"He can handle it," Jasper said from behind me. I nodded some a this and instantly felt calm wash over me. Glancing at him he nodded at me with a half smirk, "Swear it."

Quickly we continued to fight until I jumped just as the last one did and I swung, my fist hitting their jaw and just like that their head came off. Landing I breathed heavily, turning and looked across from me as the rest of the Cullens gathered together with a nod.

We did it. We won. Victory flowed through my being and I felt so much better about everything.

I helped Esme and Carlisle gather tougher the rest of the bodies before I snapped my fingers and they lit up, burning the left overs. I looked over at the pack to see they were searching for any newborns that could have been left turned sighing while taking my hair down. It was finally over. And for the first time in a long time I felt a bit at ease.

"Alice?" Jasper's voice cut through and I quickly looked over as Alice was having a vision. She blinked repeatedly and shook her head.

"The Volturi are coming," she breathed. I stared confused though Carlisle was already acting, next to me and he pointed.

"You need to go back to-"

"No! If she leaves they will find her. She has to stay here. Edward and Bella should be here for this too," Alice cut in quickly. I saw Carlisle's jaw tense but he looked back down at me. I stared up at him confused and he simply sighed without a choice.

"Stay beside me at all times." I nodded obediatnly and went to follow him just as Edward and Bella appeared, Edward setting her down. Bella ran over and hugged me quickly and I sighed. T

"Thank god you're safe," I breathed. She nodded and Edward glanced at Alice.

"How much time do we have?" She shook her head some.

"A couple minutes. Maybe ten?" she said softly. Carlisle looked at Sam who was still phased.

"You guys should do. We can't win a battle against the Volturi if you're her-"

"Leah, don't!"

Spinning around my attention went to Leah as a newborn got a hold of her and I acted though Carlisle caught me when I nearly fell, my world spinning. I lost too much power. Jacob moved in wrestling on the ground with the newborn when suddenly he was lifted and I heard a sickening snap. Tears brimmed my eyes as his name tore from my throat in a scream. Not hesitating we moved, Carlisle and I getting there at the same time as Edward. I watched the others rip the last one apart as Jacob turned into his human form collapsing weakly.

"Jacob!?" Bella yelled but Edward was holding her back too. I slid on my knees next to him and quickly tried to grab his attention.

"Jacob! Jacob, look at me! Look at me, honey, I'm right here!" I said quickly. He was grabbing his right arm tightly and I could see it was clearly broken. His whole right side looked seriously injured. "Jake, look at me! Right here!" I said, tears already flowing down my face. He was in so much pain that he phased before he was even on the ground. I looked up as Carlisle inspected him.

"The bones on his right side are completely shattered," he said looking at Sam. Jacob's face courted with pain.

"Schyler." I shook my head, putting shaky hands on his face.

"It's gonna be okay. You're gonna be fine," I reassured, making him look at me. He opened his eyes and I saw pain in them.

"D-Don't…leave…"

I nodded quickly, "I'm not."

"Jacob, you idiot! I had it-!"

"Shut up, Leah!" I snapped. Paul put a hand on my head and I looked back at Jacob as Edward looked at everyone seriously.

"We need to get them out of here. We can't negotiate with the Volturi if they're here," Edward said, looking at Carlisle. I looked at Edward angrily.

"I'm not leaving him." Carlisle looked at me and put a hand on my shoulder.

"You have to be here or the Volturi will hunt you down. Alice has seen it." I looked at Jacob's pain filled face and Sam looked at me.

"We'll take him to Billy's. Meet us there when you are finished," he said. I nodded and Paul pulled me away from him, the pack lifting Jacob from the ground and carried him off quickly through the bushes.

I watched with a hand in my hair and I felt Jasper next to me.

"Stay with me and I'll keep your emotions calm," he instructed.

I nodded, wiping my face off and walked over to the others quickly. A newborn girl was behind Esme as if Esme was protecting her and on instinct I stood before her too. I looked myself over and saw I wasn't that bad. The Volturi walked from the shadows and stopped in front of us.

"Impressive. Ever never seen a coven escape an assault at this magnitude intact." I stared at the blonde girl before us as she spoke. She was perfect, just like the rest of the vampires. It made me stared at her though I said nothing.

Carlisle simply nodded, "We were lucky."

She didn't even bat an eyelash, "I doubt that."

"It appears we missed an entertaining fight." My eyes adjusted to the rest of them though saw no threat. Not at the moment at least. The girl named Jane looked the child behind us and asked her questions before a scream irrupted from the small thing behind me. I turned quickly at this in shock as she withered on the ground in pain.

"She will tell you anything you want!" Esme said quickly. Jane stared the newborn on the floor for a long time before smiling a bit.

"I know." She turned her attention to me.

"So…you're the Antiquity," she said smiling some. I stared at her and her eyes flashed like before but nothing happened and her smile fell a bit.

"I think we're done here," Carlisle said, getting her attention from me. Jane looked at me before looking at the big dude.

"Felix, hurry up. I want to go home," she said calmly.

"You can't just kill her," I spoke instantly. Jane looked at me with sharp red eyes and I stared at her evenly. "She didn't know what she was doing."

Jane didn't move and neither did I. However Carlisle said my name gently causing me to shift.

"The Volturi don't give second chances. Keep that in mind." She flickered her gaze from me to Bella, "Caius will be interested to hear she's still human."

"The date is set," Bella said instantly. I didn't move and instead watched as Jane calmly put her hand down and motioned on.

"Felix." He walked passed us all and I shut my eyes, hearing the screams of the little girl. I watched them walk away and burn the pieces to her. The Volturi left after that and Edward didn't feel their presence after a long moment of silence.

I grabbed my head and Carlisle turned over to me and touched it.

"You didn't feel it," he said. I stared at him and Alice handed me a cloth.

"Jane has the power to torture you with a single look. It's what she did to her," she explained gently. I nodded softly and looked away. My mind instantly went to Jacob and I pulled away from all of them.

"I need to go," I mumbled quickly walking away. Carlisle nodded.

"I'll meet you there as soon as I can," he called. I walked towards the bushes heard something and turned around quickly. A newborn stood there.

I didn't think twice as I turned into a sprint back towards the Cullens. The instant I did so however, everything slowed down- my hair whipping around me in slow motion and I breathed out heavily. I was still too weak. I could barely move.

I gasped for air, my heart in my ears, and I could see everyone turning to me. Jasper and Emmett were already off with Carlisle and Esme running behind them. I heard the newborn directly behind me and knew I didn't have a chance go guard myself and instead spun. I put my hands in front of me, not having enough time to use my powers and as soon as the newborn threw his arms around me and I put my arms up, countering.

"Schyler!" I moved to run to Carlisle and I gasped, feeling a grip in my hair. I was yanked back and I yelled out, everything snapping normal speed. I opened my eyes wide and screamed bloody murder as my collarbone spread into warmth and pain slammed into the instant I was bitten. I could hear everyone yell something, Bella struggling to get to me while Edward held her back.

He was ripped off of me less than a second later by Emmett and I dropped to my knees, clawing at my neck while my other hand held onto the grass tightly. It felt like fire was pumping through me and I couldn't' handle it, my vision blurring and I fell to my side. I screeched arching my back and felt Esme kneel next to me as Carlisle was beside me. Alice was holding my legs while Emmett tried to get my arms but I fought them off. I didn't mean to I just was trying to get this venom out of me. Wind was wiping around us violently sending Edward and Bella off of their feet.

"She's changing!" Edward shouted.

"It's spreading abnormally fast. I can't stop it."

I kept screaming, clawing at my neck in the burning pain. It was raw pain that I couldn't get through. I was killing me. Destroying me. It was worse than any of the times I burnt myself with fire. Or water that was too hot to bear. Heat. That was all I felt. So much heat it was unbearable. I was being burned alive. I could feel it and I arched my back to the feeling, opening my mouth to scream again but it was silent this time. My heart began to beat faster and faster before soon everything slowed down my ears ringing and my eyes lidding.

"Schyler!" Bella's voice was so far away now. Everyone was. Everything was so far away. I felt arms around me, holding me gently with a caress. I recognized Esme's scent as I began shaking and my brown lidded and glazed.

"Make it stop… Please," I breathed. I was sweating badly and I could feel Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie about to lose it.

"Go with Edward now," Carlisle said looking at them. They disappeared and Carlisle looked at Jasper.

"Calm her," he instructed. Carlisle held my face as I continued to cry. Blood was all over me. My hands, my neck, my shirt and down my arm. Jasper made my emotions calm, causing the wind to cease but the pain was still unimaginable.

"Carl…isle….make it…stop," I begged almost convulsing.

"It'll be okay," he said gently. Esme was caressing me to her and moving my hair from my face while I gazed up at her.

"It'll be okay, Schyler. It's going to go away," she whispered. I fluttered my eyes gently as I stared up at her and saw her change. Soon she had black hair, ivory skin and green eyes. It made me smile faintly up at her as I shook some.

"M-Mom?" She blinked down at me before smiling and I cried more while nodding, "I…miss you, Mom." She continued to stroke my face gently and stared at me so calmly before it shifted back to Esme. She made me feel better. Like it was all just a dream. The pain, the war, the death, the killings, wasn't real.

Yes. That did just happen.
