15. Crushed.
Megan P. O. V
"Their coming." Edward said, we had been scattered over the clearing.
Alice let out a gasp suddenly and Edwards jaw tightened.
"What is it?" Renesmee asked jumping up, she was tense, she spent all her time with Jacob, always touching him to reassure herself that he would survive.
I looked at Robert halfway across the field, I was extremely worried now for him, I wasn't allowed to go near him, were my parents really this cruel, what if he died? No! He wouldn't, anyone that came near him would be incinerated, that I am sure of.
"Megan... go." My mother whispered in my ear, I shot her a careful look, my dad was standing next to her, he was tense but he nodded.
A huge smile broke out on my face and I was at his side and in his arms before Edward started speaking.
"Nothing, false alarm." He said, Alice relaxed and her eyes cleared but quickly fogged up again trying to see the battle.
Robert pulled me away and looked at me. His blue eyes were piercing mine, I wouldn't look away until I needed to.
"Everyone into position, they'll be here in ten minutes." Edward called across the field, everyone said they're last goodbyes without saying the words, they hugged, kissed and caressed each other.
I looked into Roberts eyes once more, they're depth was infinite, I often got lost in them and his voice would bring me back.
"You lost again?" He smiled amused.
"Thank you for finding me." I smiled back.
"Don't worry, I get lost in yours as well, but somehow I find my way." He chuckled.
I leaned in, our lips nearly touching, I could feel his warm breath on my face, his smell was all around.
"I love you...I'm sure of it." I whispered.
His eyes got brighter, if that was possible. He looked overjoyed at my words.
"I have loved you since I first saw you in that freezing tower, and I have never stopped, even when we argued." He said then kissed me.
It wasn't a normal kiss, it wasn't intimate. It was filled with love, the love we always had for each other. The love that kept us together even when we tried to deny it. The love that played with our emotions and drove them crazy. The love that only came once in a few billion lifetimes. That's how it felt. That's what I felt.
"Five minutes." Edward called.
We broke away, he pecked me once more and then let go. He looked apologetic as he retreated to the front line.
I literally felt the space between us, it was painful, like he was keeping a piece of my heart with him. If anything happened to him, my half of my heart would be gone, I wouldn't be complete.
Then all was still in the huge open clearing, the faint fluttering of Renesmee's, Nahuel's, Robert's and my hearts along with the heavy pounding of the wolves hearts were the only sound.
Edward tensed and we all stiffened as grey cloaked vampires gracefully glided into the clearing.
Their cloaks getting darker as more of them came into the clearing, the last few were wearing completely black cloaks.
Then he was there, it was still scary thinking about what he almost did.
"I give you all one more chance to surrender." He sneered looking dead in my eyes.
A hiss was building up in my throat.
"Please, just leave us in peace. Do not take them against their will." Carlisle said in a firm voice.
"But I wish to know the answers, I am a man of science, I believe that you are one too. You see I wish to know everything, and I wish to start here. If you do not hand them over you will all die...your choice." he added in a lighter tone.
I was worried now, I glanced around at everyone who was willing to die for me, it wasn't right to ask them to die so that I could live, it was a fifty-fifty shot that we would win or lose, and either way someone would die. I couldn't let that happen, no-one should die for me, I didn't deserve it.
"W-will you leave them alone if I come with you?" I asked and everyone stopped breathing.
"No!" Robert hissed.
My mother gasped.
My father tensed as if waiting to spring.
"Of course lovely." He said stretching out his hand to me.
I glanced over my shoulder at Robert, he looked hurt. I made the mistake of looking into the sea of blue, I was lost again. I couldn't look away.
"Please don't" Robert begged softly bringing me to reality, a tear escaped his eye and I closed my eyes.
I took a step away and he moved so fast I didn't know what happened.
The next thing I knew the Voltury had started attacking.
I was in Robert's arms he was holding me back.
"Megan!" My father shouted getting my attention.
Both Robert and my head snapped to him.
He tossed a disassembled vampire to me, my hands shot out and burnt it to a crisp.
I started paying attention to the battle, Bella was right in front of me with her eyes closed, she was concentrating hard. Zafrina was to her left with her eyes closed as well, I could see some of the newborns screaming and thrashing blindly as their eyes were glazed. Benjamin was moving his arms, creating wind, water and he flung rocks and boulders at oncoming vampires. The one thing he didn't have was fire since he had no source. That is where I came in.
"Benjamin!" I shouted immediately shooting out my hands and heating the air. My theory was that I could vibrate the molecules around me and make them move faster causing friction and heat. Benjamin took the fire and shot them towards the other vampires.
"Robert go help! I'll be fine!" I shouted trying to keep up the amount of fire I was producing, I was getting tired, soon I would be worn out.
Renesmee P. O. V
It was chaos, I barely had time to register if the person I was attacking was an enemy or a friend.
Jacob was behind me, covering my back, we had been moved far away from my mothers physical shield because they could touch us, but I think we were still under the mental shield since she had a huge radius on that one.
It seemed that as soon as I tore one vampire up another one was waiting, I was getting tired, I also had a very useless gift that could not help me in this situation, sometimes I really hated my gift.
I started moving closer to my mother, I needed to catch a break.
"Nessie! Your left!" Alice shouted from across the clearing.
A big, burly vampire was lunging for me, I twirled forward causing him to quickly change direction, each turn I made he countered. I kept a careful distance from his mouth but he didn't have to bite me to kill me, one swing from his arms could kill me if he hit hard enough.
I moved back one step and he was suddenly thrown back away from me. I glanced behind me and saw my mother fifteen feet away and let out a long sigh of relief. Nahuel was on the opposite side of the shield it looked like he too had just come for a breather.
Megan, who was standing next to Benjamin, was providing the fire to kill the vampires. But she was producing less with each passing minute, she was tired, but her eyes were focused on Robert who was a few feet away from the shield.
There were two vampires attacking him. He was holding them off.
Then it happened, so fast my eyes could barely keep up.
A third vampire had sprung over one of them and landed behind Robert, he seized his head and with one flex he crushed Roberts head like paper. I gasped as Roberts body went limp, blood seeping onto the floor like water.
"Robert!" Megan screamed.
Bella P. O. V
"Robert!" Megan screamed from behind me, and my eyes snapped open for a second, she was looking at Robert, just a few feet beyond my shield, he was limp on the ground, blood was all over the grass.
Then I felt a strong force under my shield, one pillar of light wasn't blue. It was a blazing red, I opened my eyes again to see Megan had rings of fire circling her body, she screamed in rage and the fire grew, I quickly drew my physical shield away from her and flung it further to include all of our allies, the other vampires were thrown away. Megan was the only one unprotected but she was in the middle of my shield.
As the fire grew and grew it touched my shield and shot up, it couldn't get in but I could feel it pushing against my shield. when the fire reached the top of the dome it fanned out across the shield until it reached the grass at the end of the shield. The fire went further burning everything in its path, it reached the trees and incinerated the vampires in the way.
It started faltering and thinning on my shield as well as the fire on the forest.
Megan was still in the middle, the fire stopped by her first then it died over my shield and the flames in the forest stopped.
Megan dropped to the floor, her clothes had burnt off her body.
"Megan!" Rosalie screamed running to her. She shrugged off her jacket and covered Megan with it. I looked around at the clearing.
The ground was black,the trees charred, only where my shield had been was the grass still green and slightly moist.
The Voltury was gone, nothing remained of them, just the slight sweet perfume in the air. It was over.
I looked to where Roberts body had been, nothing remained. He was gone.
