Chapter Fourteen

A Mother's Wrath

Aro looked at the witch turned Vampire with his deep, ruby red eyes. "Mrs Cullen, Hermione, it would be wise to hand over your children peacefully."

Hermione laughed darkly. "Why would I do such a stupid thing like that?"

"It's what's best for you and all your little friends." Aro threatened.

Hermione stepped closer, her eyes now almost jet black. "Never threaten my friends and family."
"Or what?" Jane scoffed from beside her brother.

Hermione turned her cold eyes onto her. "Or I will kill you." She growled.

Jane stepped forward. "Try it."

"Don't tempt me." Hermione drawled, turning away from the smaller Vampire.

Jane glared at her and used her power on her. Thankfully, the shield around Hermione's mind blocked her. It barely even tickled.

Jane let out a frustrated growl, but quietened when Aro put his hand out to stop her.

"Interesting." Aro murmured. "But no matter. I came for the children. Guards."

Together, the Guards and Aro stepped forward towards the cowering forms of Kali and Guy who were hiding behind their father.

Within seconds they were in front of the children and Jane was making Edward wither. Aro's hand reached out and his fingertips grazed Kali's cheek.

He suddenly found himself flying through the air and landing a little way away from his goal.

Aro looked up to see the furious gaze of Hermione Cullen focused on him, her wand pointed at him.

"Don't you dare touch my babies." She hissed, her voice venomous and dangerous.

Aro stared at her. He moved to his feet and once more headed towards the children.

Hermione let out an animalistic growl. "Are you stupid, old man?"

"I prefer, determined." Aro purred.

"Well, if you carry on, you will be a dead, determined old man." Hermione sneered.

"Ah, but with me gone who will help my brothers manage the Guards and the newborns in the world?" Aro chuckled.

Hermione smirked. "Well, I can do more to you than just killing you."

Aro didn't heed her warning and reached out once more for the twins.

Before he could blink, even at Vampire speed, he found himself looking at the end of Hermione's wand.

"I warned you." She snapped.

"What are you going to do?" Aro sneered. "Stake me? You know that doesn't work."

Hermione just smirked. "This isn't a stake, it's a wand. It can do a lot more than just reduce you to dust."

"I'd like to see you try." Aro spat, not taking a hint.

"Inferno Bluebellas." Hermione recited, waving her wand in a graceful arch.

A blaze of blue flame shot from the end of the wand and wound itself around the Volturi and their guard. One of the Guards reached out and touched the flame.

He hissed as the heat scorched his skin. "It's real fire!" He gasped.

The Vampires all hissed and recoiled from the flames, all except from Aro who was looking calm and unimpressed.

"Is that not enough?" Hermione roared. "Agumenti!"

This time a tendril of water wound its way around them, extinguishing the flames with a hiss.

Again, Aro didn't seem phased by the display of powerful magic from the angry, maternal vampire witch.

"Fine! Bat Bogey!" Hermione growled.

Remarkably, the curse worked with rather unusual effects. As Vampires had no need for bogeys, the curse used the next best thing it could find. Blood.

Clotted blood flew out of Aro, Marcus and Caius' noses, turned into little bats and began to attack their faces. As much as they swiped at them, they wouldn't go away.

When the curse finally let up, Aro's angry, blazing eyes met Hermione's cold, black eyes.

"You witch!" He roared.

"That's what I am, yes. Are you still going to take my children?" Hermione said, calmly.

"They are a great asset. One I cannot refuse." Aro almost purred.

"Very well. Jelly legs!"

Aro suddenly found himself incapable of standing up very well, let alone walking. "What have you done?" He cried, hysteria and fear creeping into his voice. He had never felt so weak in all his reign. He suddenly felt as if he had bitten off more than he could chew.

"Do you want it to stop?" Hermione sneered.

"Yes!" He bit out.

"Leg locker!"

At once, Aro's legs snapped together and he fell to his knees. Hermione began to circle him, a shield keeping the others from touching her.

"How powerful do you feel now?" She taunted.

Aro stared up at her in respect and fear. "Please!" He cried, worried at what she would do next.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Hermione growled.

Aro suddenly went as stiff as a board and fell to one side. Hermione bent down very close to him. "You are going to leave as soon as I set you free and you will never come back, or I will do much worse." She threatened.

When freed, Aro scrambled over to his guard. "We're leaving."

"But Aro…" Jane began.

"We are leaving!" He snapped.


Please Read and Review. I know it was a rather an abrupt ending, but Aro just wanted to get away asap, lol.
