Twilight Midnight Sun - Book 2

I Surrender

Authors Note: If you had read this once before you will need to read it again. For some reason half of what I wrote wasn't there when I uploaded it so I had to rewrite the rest of the chapter.

I still couldn't believe that my Jake had died for me. He truly did love me and for that I knew I had to do everything I could in order to make sure his death wasn't in vain. He had said my parents were still alive so that was my next move. I needed to make sure they stayed that way.

Rising to my feet I allowed my eyes to sweep across the battle field to try and locate them. The first sight my eyes fell upon was my grandparents, Carlisle and Esme in a double battle with two vampires I didn't recognize. Then I saw Leah and Alice fighting what looked like Jane. How could they fight Jane without feeling the wrath of her power. Then it hit me, my mothers shield. She had to be nearby.

Running through the field of ashes, vampires and werewolves I stopped. Something happened and now Alice and Leah were in pain. Frantic I searched and searched until I found the problem. There in the arms of Felix was my mother. She was on her knees, arms pulled back. Felix was about to execute her. No!

"Mom!" I screamed as I ran as fast as I could. I could see the pain in her face as they began stretching her. Then I jumped onto Felix's back and began hitting him with as much strength as I could find. Still it wasn't enough to hurt him but it was enough to annoy him. "Let my mother go!" I screamed.Almost as quickly as I had said the words he dropped my mother and then grabbed my and threw me to the ground. I bounced once and then skidded to a stop."It's me you want. Take me and leave my family alone." I said in a breathy voice.

My father was at my mothers side, hovering protectively over her with a snarl threatening to pass his lips. I don't think they knew it was me or maybe it was instinctual that he protected my mother who was in immeadiate danger.

"Ahhh look who has returned." I heard Aro's eerie voice speak.

I turned my gaze to look at him and gulped. With trembling limbs I rose to a stand. I couldn't let him see my fear.

"It's me you want right? Well I'm here now and I promise to come willingly with you as long as you leave my family in peace." I said firmly. "If you don't I will kill myself and all will be lost." Of course I would never go to such extremes but it was worth a try.

"That is where you are wrong dear girl. You are one of the many things I have come for." Then his eyes fell upon the battle scene before us. "Guards, wives.... sieze and disist." he ordered.

Everyone of the Volturi members stopped their fighting and joined in ranks behind their leaders. Once they had stilled my friends and family did the same. I watched carefully as everyone joined. It took less then twenty seconds and I knew why. We had suffered great loss.

From the wolves I counted atleast five heads that should have been there. One being Jake another Embry and then three of the newer members. From our vampire friends, almost all our new additions were gone and half of our friends from the last battle. From my own family members I saw two heads missing. Rosalie and Jennifer. Both the twins stood beside their father, Matthews expression was grim and Penelope was in tears.

Behind the broken trio stood my grandparents, Esme held Carlisle's hand while his free hand was on Emmetts shoulder. Beside Esme was Alice and Jasper and on Carlisle's other side was my parents. Their eyes wandered to me immeadiately and then they grew wide in shock.

I could see their minds going to work, trying to process why I looked like this. I even imagined my father penetrating my mind to make sure it was me and not an imposter. But it was me and I was here and I was no longer a child they could make decisions for or protect. It was my turn. This was my stand.
