Renesmee
Looking fabulous as usual, I stepped out of the hot-pink limousine that had been a present from one of my fans, and onto the red carpet. Cameras flashed as I made my way up, blowing kisses, smiling beautifully, and generally just looking gorgeous (as I always do, obviously. I just mean I looked extra-gorgeous). After having the last eight hours spent on beautifying myself, I looked and felt fabulous. Even the small group of fools who call themselves Twi-haters, waiting with eggs and flour outside the entrance to the Seattle Theatre (of course, my bodyguards arrested them right away), couldn't do much to damage my perfect mood. Tonight, finally, I was to be recognised for the glory I so obviously deserve.

We waited, nervous, backstage. Through a small, dirt-encrusted window which overlooked the entrance to the theatre, we could see the horror and her family making their way up the red carpet. Marcus greeted them at the entrance, handing the women enormous bouquets of roses and bowing obsequiously. Then they disappeared inside.
We had invited a load of random people off the street inside, filling the auditorium. This would make sure that darling Renesmee didn't feel like something was up.
Aro loomed up out of the darkness, avoiding Sue, who tried to grab his hand. We'd managed to find a rather mouldy-looking black dress, covered in gothic lace, which she was now wearing. Aro glanced at her, then did a double take and blushed, looking suddenly flustered.
"Oh... hello, Sue dear. You look wonderful tonight..." he stuttered.
Sue beamed and clung on to his hand. They were both gazing into each other's eyes when I decided it was time to break up the (disturbing) romance. I coughed, loudly.
Nothing happened.
I coughed again, waving my hand in between them. It seemed to work. Deliberately positioning myself between them, we made our way to the stage, keeping just behind the curtain. Renesmee, Bella, Edward, Emmett and Jasper were already seated on stage, with several Volturi behind them. The others were in the auditorium. Caius, ready to present the award, stood behind a lectern. This was it.
Renesmee
Oh. My. Renesmee. This was so exciting! My fans had, of course, all gone wild when I entered. Making my way up to the stage, I saw several banners saying 'Stephenie Meyer We Heart You' and 'Twilight is the Best'. I knew I was the most beautiful, talented, selfless etc etc person there. A vaguely familiar pale-skinned man stood on stage. (Maybe I'd seen him on TV somewhere – after all, it made sense that celebrities would want to come and see me.) Standing up, he spoke into the microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are delighted to welcome Miss Stephenie Meyer to the Book of the Century awards ceremony!"

The crowd went wild as Caius introduced 'Stephenie Meyer'. Aro brought the flamethrower out from behind a store cupboard and we waited with bated breath for the signal.
Caius smiled evilly.
"Now, it is our absolute privilege to present Stephenie Meyer with a special gift..."
This was our signal. As the Volturi 'bodyguards' surrounded the Cullen vampires, Sue and I leapt out from behind the curtain, closely followed by Aro, holding the flamethrower. Aro pointed it at Renesmee, as Sue yelled, "If anyone moves, she gets it!"
The auditorium was suddenly, wonderfully, silent. Then Sue's voice broke the silence.
"Can I press the button?"
Aro looked at her fondly.
"Of course, my dear."
Before I had a chance to argue (I wanted to destroy the mutant spawn as well!), Sue had stepped forward and pressed the 'Fire' button on the flamethrower.
There was an enormous 'whumph' and Renesmee exploded in a ball of flame.
Aro, Sue and I looked at each other, grinned, and spoke at the same time.
"Awesome..."
"OK," I intervened. "I wanna set the others on fire."
Sue pouted. "All right... you can do Bella and Edward and then I'll do the rest... OK?"
I reluctantly agreed, and Aro handed over the flamethrower. Damn, it was heavy. I pointed it in the vague direction of Bella and Edward, and pressed the 'Fire' button again.
The resulting fireball was just as satisfying as the first, which was now settling into a pile of ashes on the floor.
Then it was Sue's turn to explode the last two on the list.
As soon as Jasper disappeared in flames, we did a little dance of victory round the pile of ashes which we had saved the world from, singing, "Ding dong, the wicked Sue is dead!" A good bit of the Wizard of Oz to end our flame-fest, and then we had to make our escape, before the fans came to their senses and attacked us. Also, being arrested for murder, possession of a dangerous weapon, etc etc, wasn't really on our plan.
So what did you think? Was the VIOLENT CHARACTER DEATH violent enough for you?
Reviews are greatly appreciated! (Yes, especially flames!)
