“Baylor here, has the uncanny ability to subject your chiens to the most crippling pain they’ve ever felt in their lives. He is quite the asset to our coven.” Marcus was grinning, proudly, as he explained why the pack were on the ground howling in evident pain. Baylor stood stiff, not taking his eyes off the wolves. It was apparent that all Baylor had to do was shoot his piercing red stare at the loups in order to keep them incapacitated. When he looked directly at one wolf, that loup would howl, almost scream out in poignant agony.
No one saw Baylor coming. Alice’s visions of him are extremely vague, and of course, even when she can see him, she can only see what he’s doing, not where he is. The Volturi are aware of Alice’s visions, too. They could have simply not told Baylor he would be coming until the last minute, so she wouldn’t see him. Clever.
I snapped out of my state of shock and began to stretch my shield over the wolves, focusing. Nothing happened. I tried to calm myself. Looking at Edward’s beautiful, protective expression helped. I could feel the anger draining from my granite body, and tried again. The loups were still howling, their eyes weak, their bodies contracting involuntarily. I couldn’t help them. Baylor’s power was too strong. It was overriding my shield, somehow. He never took his piercing red eyes off the wolves, glancing from one to another, keeping them helpless.
“Are toi sure toi want this to end in a battle, then?” Caius spoke slowly.
I thought I heard Edward’s teeth snap before he answered Caius. “We aren’t going to let anything happen to Charlie… and we are plus than prepared to battle if toi wont let this go.”
Aro’s milky eyes flickered from the loups to me, apologetically. His translucent, fragile skin made it difficult for me to picture him in a battle. It looked as though his skin would peel right off, rip, like the skin of an onion. I shot him one plus pleading glance, hoping he would see the desperation in my eyes. He turned to Demetri and began to speak, almost whisper. Aro placed his translucent hand on Demetri, to read his response. They briefly looked at each other, agreeingly.
The loud bang made me déplacer into an immediate crouch. Edward stood in front of me, letting out the loudest growl I’ve ever heard. Marcus’s attempt to take Alice down was unsuccessful. Jasper smashed his granite body into him, causing a loud thunder like crack. Both of them hit the ground with enough impact to leave giant grooves in the field. I didn’t have time to think before I sprung from my crouch and flew into Marcus with every ounce of strength I had. I used all my strength to keep him down on the ground before Edward came and began twisting his limbs off, effortlessly. I caught a glance of Jacob’s russet fourrure and pained expression in the corner of my eye, then, with one rapide, swift movement I lodged my teeth into Marcus’s throat, and twisted his head once, completely disassembling it. A feu was already blazing. We came prepared.
Demetri dug his teeth into Jasper’s rock hard chest. His burgundy eyes looked lethal and, for a divisé, split second, I thought Jasper was in danger. Emmett grabbed Demetri off of Jasper and threw him, like a rag doll, across the field. Emmett’s ours like strength never ceases to amaze me.
Aro and Alice were standing face to face, maliciously growling at each other. It was almost shocking to see Aro, so frail looking, grab Alice and throw her dangerously close to the pit of fire. She quickly got back on her feet and began to charge at Aro, eventually smashing into him, creating an almost deafening bang. He lunged at her, attempting to take a bite out of her solid, perfect, pale body. Alice was so little, her angelic body seemed so breakable. I had to help her. Without a seconde thought, I flew towards Aro, piercing my teeth into the back of his neck, freeing Alice from his hold. He turned swiftly towards me and threw himself on haut, retour au début of me, exposing his teeth. Edward bolted towards Aro, ripping him off of me and throwing him, with dominant force, into a tree.
As soon as I could steady myself, I ran over to the russet loup who was laying in agony, twitching. “I’m so sorry Jacob. This will be over soon. I promise. I’m so sorry I have caused this. Please forgive me.” I hoped he could understand me amongst the blinding pain. Before I had a chance to finish, I felt myself getting tossed, violently across the field, stopping just before the feu pit. Demetri charged towards me, grabbed me, held me above the feu and roared. “In one rapide, swift movement, I could tear her apart and throw her in to this pit of fire. Is the human, Charlie, really worth this to toi all?” Everyone froze. My face was just inches from the fire. I knew if anyone made a single movement, Demetri would tear my head off and toss me in the fire. He had his strong hands wrapped around my neck, already. The fear and anger in Edward’s eyes tore me apart. He knew he would pose plus of a risk to my life if he tried to save me. All he could do was stand there, motionlessly. I wasn’t about to give in, though. I wasn’t about to agree to have Charlie killed. This was my fault. I thought this was it. I began to almost accept that this would be the end of my existence.
Everyone’s eyes flickered behind me, shocked. Alice’s jaw dropped. Emmett’s lips curled up into a half smile. Edward and Jasper looked at each other, confusion dominating their faces. I struggled to turn my head around, then Demetri released his grip. The loups stopped howling, too. Baylor’s eyes were now fixated on the two men who stood before us. Both inhumanly beautiful, pale, rock hard. One, was Carlisle. The other man stood out. He was slightly different. His eyes were a deep blood red. Thirsty. I could see myself in him. We had the same eye shape. Same hair color, too. He looked so familiar, so beautiful. Then, he spoke. “Bells, I know toi would have never allowed this if I would have told you. I know you’d let yourself get destroyed before you’d allow anything to happen to me. Carlisle told me that the chances of toi surviving this fight were slim, and that even if toi did kill them all, the rest would come for me, anyway.”
vampires aren’t supposed to be able to dream. I couldn’t understand how I manged to be having this horrible dream. I wanted to wake up.
I wasn’t dreaming, though.
I will write again soon.
