The next day Bella headed to the clearing. But to get to the clearing we had to go through the woods. She had a pin to prick her finger a single drop of blood appeared. She places her bleeding finger on a tree trunk, as we headed to the clearing she put her blood as many trees that she could. Bella and emerge into the empty field. Jasper and Edward made their way over to us.
"You're going overboard." Edward said
"If this is all I can contribute, I want to be thorough." Bella said
"Jasper will be very impressed and the newborns will be frantic. Now let me put a bandage on that." Edward said
"No need Eddie boy." I said
I grabbed Bella's hand a golden light overcame or hands. When I pull my hand a away the cut is gone.
"Since when can you do that?" Jasper asked
"I've been practicing." I said
Edward reaches for her hand but she pulls it away..
"I can do it. You don't have to make yourself uncomfortable." Bella said
"Don't worry. This doesn't bother me anymore." Edward said
"Since when?" Bella asked
"Since I survived thinking you were dead." Edward said
He takes Bella hand and looks at her quizzical look.
"You're not wearing your ring." Edward said
"What the hell. What ring?" I asked
"I didn't want to risk losing it." Bella said
"What ring?" I asked
"...Or letting Jacob see it?" Edward asked
"It would be better if I told him, you know, later. After tomorrow's fight." Bella said
"If you're having second thoughts--" Edward said
"WHAT RING." I yelled
Edward and Bella shared a look.
"Edward asked me to marry a few months ago and last night I told him yes." Bella said
"Oh my god. OH MY GOD." I yelled
I jumped up and down and tackled Bella.
"I so happy to for you two. Edward might not be my favorite but he makes you happy, and that's all that matters." I said
"What is up with all the screaming." Jacob said
We turn around to see Jacob standing in the field.
"Sorry. All me Jacob." I said
Jacob and Edward nod at each other, Jasper just shakes his head. Jack eyes the cloudy sky. Edward does the same.
"Alice says there's a storm coming." Edward said
"I can feel it. We should get going." Jacob said
"Well who needs the weather channel when you have a psychic pixie and a wolf." I said
Everyone laughed.
"I'll take a longer route. But I'll get there first. Set up camp." Edward said
Jacob nods. Edward turns to Bella, he kisses her forehead.
"I'll see you in a few hours." Edward said
Edward grabs her bag and some gear, leaves. Jacob eyes Bella.
"Something up? Jacob asked
"The usual; bunch of vampires trying to kill me." Bella said
"Same old, same old." Jacob said
Jacob slings Bella onto his back they head off.
"Hey. When this is over we need to sit down and have a conversation." Jasper said
"About what?" I asked
"The future." Jasper said
Jasper and I headed back to the house we still had a while before the fight.
---------- Next Day ----------
We all headed to the field. Ready for this fight. We stood just out of the tree line. The newborns just pass the tree lines when I shut out of the woods I find the middle of the newborns. I fell my center shift, the wind starts to blow. The newborns in front of me come to halt. I lifted my and fire came from hands at the newborns. Long ago I would have watched them slowly die, but not now not so much I had it so that as soon as the fire touched them they couldn't feel the pain. Once I was done with my half I turned to watch,
I watched as Jasper rushed them. Bam! Bam! Bam! Three of them down just like that. God he was hot. But now the rest of the Cullen's were out the out of nowhere. Sam's wolf jumps out two other wolves flanking him. They tear the newborn to pieces. Then four other wolves dive into action. I stand by watching what was happening.
--Emmett and Mason sprints full bore into the fight. Relishing the battle.
--The wolves work as a pack, coordinated, deadly.
--Jasper controls the field – strategy and speed vs strength.
--Rosalie fights with icy calm. Alice with precognition. Esme and Carlisle fight side-by-side,
--But the newborns are brutal and strong as hell. Our vampire/wolves are taking some vicious hits – then – in slow motion Jake's wolf charges into the clearing, tackling newborns, going for its neck.
--Sam's wolf and Jacob's wolf charge a newborn each wolf grab an arm in their mouths and rip.
--Paul's wolf is surrounded by three newborns. Emmett takes one, Paul takes one, And my Em takes the other. She is almost as skilled as Jasper.
--Carlisle and Esme move in on Bree -- but she backs up frightened. Esme and Carlisle share a look. They relax their attack stance, try to calm her, talk to her..
--Alice darts from newborn to newborn, not even looking at them, knowing their next move. She sweeps their feet, keeping them off balance, confusing them --it's almost like a dance.
--Mason is a step behind her, trying to give her cover
I see a newborn who has taken note of Mason's protective actions. Jasper shoots out towards Mason also seeing the newborn. But at the last sec the newborn turns and bites onto Jasper. As I run towards Jasper I shift and take the newborn by the head. I tear him apart. I continue to rip through every newborn I see.
"Thanks 'darlin." I heard Jasper say
As I run around, I look for Victoria or Riley but I don't see them. Then it dawns on me Icky Vicky knew Edward would do anything Bella asked including missing the fight. I shot off towards where I knew Bella and Edward were. As I got closer to them I saw Bella standing behind Edward who is defensive. Riley steps out of the woods. Bella recognizes him, and is taken aback. Riley edges forward and I leap out and land next to Edward. Riley steps back but then steps forward.
"Riley. Listen to me. Victoria's using you - to distract me. But she knows I'll kill you." Edward said
Riley hesitates. Surprised to be addressed.
I love saying this told you so. I said in my mind to Edward.
"Actually, she's glad she won't have to deal with you anymore." Edward said
Victoria emerges from the woods, I growl and get ready to attack if need be.
"Don't listen, Riley. I told you about their mind trick." Victoria said
"Yes, I can read her mind. As can to wolf next to me. That's how I know what she thinks of you. How I know she doesn't love you." Edward said
"He's lying--" Victoria said
"Her sole purpose for creating you and this army was to avenge her true mate, James. That's all she cares about. Not you." Edward said
Riley's beginning to hesitate. He glance at Victoria.
"There's only you. You know that." Victoria said
Riley focuses back on Edward, positioning himself to attack. Victoria's eyes narrow into Bella's with bloodlust, revenge.
"Think about it. You're from Forks, you know the area. That's why she picked you. She's using you like she's using the rest of them--" Edward said
Riley once again falters ever-so-slightly, doubt seeping into his mind. Victoria's knows she is beginning to lose. Her face is emotionless.
"Riley, don't let him do this to us. I love you." Victoria said
"You're dead." Riley said
Riley charges towards Edward who doesn't move knowing that even though I am next to him Seth is up on the cliff. Seth leaps from the cliff, lands on Riley, taking a chunk of Riley's hand. Riley roars with fury and pain as Seth-wolf circles back for another attack. While Seth fights with Riley, Edward moves towards Victoria. She steps towards the trees. Edward sees she's about to escape darts into her path.
"You can escape. You always do. But you'll never get another chance like this this." Edward said
Victoria hisses at him, backs further away.
"Don't you want her? Don't you want me to feel the pain you felt when I killed James? When I tore him to pieces and turned him into ashes...into nothing." Edward said
Victoria finally erupts and charges Bella-- but Edward never lets her get close - he intercepts her and the roll down the hill in a death grip-- meanwhile, Riley Seth-wolf hard against the cliff. Sharp shards of rock fall around Bella. I push Bella out of the way of rocks. Seth goes down, Riley spins and heads towards Bella. Riley runs at me and I to him. I keep him from Bella, which at the moment is all I care about. I hear Victoria get away at Bella. I turn but in that moment Riley grabs me and bites my neck. I fling him back away from me, and change back to my human form.
"You bite me, You fucking bite me." I said
That was the last straw, for me. I felt the wind pick up around me. I knew my eyes change when I saw Riley's face.
"Hey, Icky Vicky. Want know a little secret? I killed James then a few months ago I killed Laurent it was fun and now I'm going to kill Riley here." I said
"Why aren't you changing I bite you my venom should run in your veins." Riley yelled
"I made vampires and I can unmake them. Your venom is nothing." I spat
I made the venom in his veins burn again. He screamed and just keep screaming.
"You should have listened to Edward you could have lived or died a non painful death. But now you will burn." I said
And burn he did. You could see his marble skin cracking, and see the blue and red of the fire through the cracks. I snap my fingers and he explode. And I was like it was snowing but was Riley's ashes.
"Edward do you think you can handle Victoria here?" I asked
Edward nodded and I flamed out. When I reappeared I was on the battle field, in one swift motion every newborn on the field dropped dead.
The Cullen's turned and looked at me. Jasper was by my side in a instance he moved my hair and saw my blood.
"What happened? I knew I shouldn't have let you out here. Which one bite you?" Jasper asked
"Riley did, it was while I was in wolf form Victoria got away from Edward and I turned to head to Victoria when he jumped me. He's dead nothing left him but ashes." I said
"Good" Jasper said
Jasper then crashed his lips to mine. We stayed like that for a while kissing in the midst of death and fire. When we pulled away I saw Emily walking towards us.
"Welcome back. Now tell how long will you be out of the cage this time?" Em asked
"I never put her back away I've learned that I can't lock away a part of myself." I said
"Well it's good to have you both back." Em said
We headed back to the house my eyes were still white because I was still healing. When we arrived Bella and Edward were arriving at the same time. Alice was worried you could see.
"How long?" Edward asked
"Few minutes. Maybe ten." Alice said
Bella is looking the field for Jacob.
"They timed their arrival well." Rosalie said
"Probably hoping the Newborns took a few of us out." Emmet said
Edward was about to say something when he see's someone.
"What's she doing here?" Edward asked
"We offered her safe haven if she stopped fighting. She took it." Esme said
"The pack needs to leave. The Volturi won't honor a truce with werewolves." Carlisle said
"Where's Jacob?" Bella said
"...There." Edward said
Bella and I see Jacob in wolf form emerges from the tree line. Bella sighs with enormous relief. He walks towards us but suddenly he stops hearing something he turns towards the woods. There was one newborn who spent the fighting hiding in the woods. Leah's wolf cornering the male newborn. He maneuvers out of her way, spins and grabs her yanking her off her paws. Jacob leaps on the male newborn tackling him. The male vampire gets his arm around Jacob-wolf and crushes him. Jacob howls in agony.
"Jacob." Bella yelled
The other wolves instantly pounces on the male newborns. They force him to release Jacob who crumples to the ground. As they pull the newborn apart. Edward and Carlisle appear at Jacob's side. I grab Bella and race her across the field. Jacob turns back human, naked, grotesquely twisted and broken, barely able to breathe. Carlisle quickly goes to work examining him. Edward grabs Jacob's hand.
"Jacob - hold on - Carlisle will take care of you--" Edward said
"The bones on the right half of his body are shattered." Carlisle said
Jacob, in excruciating pain, squeezes Edward's hand, Bella drops to her knees beside Jacob. She strokes his face, trying to comfort him.
"I'm here, Jake, I'm right here." Bella said
Sam, Paul Embry, Jared, Quil, Leah now in human form and clothed race up.
"Jacob, you idiot, I had it--" Leah said
"Leah--" Sam said
"I need to set the bones before his accelerated healing kicks in - it's already starting --" Carlisle said
"We have to get him out of here before the Volturi arrive. We won't win a fight with them." I said
"Go. I'll be there as soon as I can." Carlisle said
"We'll bring him to Billy's." Sam said
"Hang on, Jake." Bella said
"I'll stay with him Bella. Emily come." I said
Emily was by myside in a second she got on the other side of Jacob. She grabbed one arm I did the other.
"See you at Billy's" I said
I than flamed out. Taking Jacob with me. A few minutes later Carlisle came inside the house.
"Jacob this is going to hurt but I am going to take away as much of the pain as I can." I said
Jacob only nodded his head. I nodded at Carlisle. I moved so I was by his head. I put his head on my lap and put my hands on either side of my head. My eyes went back to white and I knew I was glowing just a little. Carlisle started to break his bones. He would scream every once in a while but most of the time he was quite. When Carlisle was done we both got up and left the room. We walked outside.
"The worst is over. He'll be alright." Carlisle said
Billy exhales heavily, tears threatening. Sam puts a hand on Billy's shoulder. Emily warps an arm around Sam's waist. And my Emily does the same with Paul.
"Carlisle gave him morphine and I took most of the pain away but his body temperature will burn it off soon." I said
"I'll come back to set up a drip." Carlisle said
"Thank you." Billy said
"And make sure he doesn't phase until I clear him. The bones need to set." Carlisle said
"We'll keep him in line." Sam said
"Yeah, good luck with that." Quil said
"He's asking for you." Carlisle said to Bella
I said bye to everyone and ran to the Cullen house. Jasper was pacing outside of the house when he saw me he ran over to me.
"Your eyes haven't went back to normal yet, and your bite hasn't held." Jasper said
"I need to feed. It's the only way I can heal and get my eyes back to normal. I'll be back soon." I said
I was getting ready to leave when Jasper grabbed my arm.
"Wait. I want to come with you." Jasper said
"Jazz are you sure, I'm not going to be feeding on bambi." I said
"I know." Jasper said
I kissed him. I grabbed his hand and we ran off. We quickly made it to Port Angles. We were standing on the roof of a building. I saw a man stumbling down the street I could smell the alcohol from here. I jumped down off the roof and landed right behind the man, I grabbed him and bite him I could feel his blood run down my throat. His pulse started to slow. Stop I stopped. I turned the man around I looked him in the eyes.
"Man that was a rush." the man said
"Glad you liked it. Now what are you going to say if someone asks what happened?" I asked
"I had a crazy night." the man said
"Good, now run along." I said
The man turned and walked away I was then turned and someone was kissing me. I knew who it was the minute they touched me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. We then pulled apart.
"God watching you feed was so hot, then on the battlefield watching you fight was even hotter god." Jasper said
"Watching you fight on that battlefield was hot. God you were amazing." I said
"Marry me." Jasper said
"What?" I asked
Jasper reached into his pocket and pulled a little box he opened it and opened it. Inside the box was a ring, the ring was shaped like a lily, it was stunning.
"I know this isn't the best place to ask but I love you and I want you by myside for the rest of my life. Please Lilly say yes, will you marry me?" Jasper said
I stepped forward and kissed him.
"Yes, a thousand times yes." I said
