The day of the battle had finally come and Emmett had reluctantly 'allowed' Caroline onto the battle field. Edward had taken Bella and Katherine up to the top of a mountain the day before with the help of Jacob. The Cullens plus Caroline had been waiting in the clearing for the noisy feet on the newborns. The wolves waited in the trees, ready to grab unsuspecting vampires at a moments notice.

"Caroline, please stay by me," Emmett whispered to her. He had her small hand enveloped in his much larger one. She hummed a simple yes in response.

Caroline was nervous, but also had a sense of excitement. She could feel herself returning to her normal self once more. She wasn't the left on her own and now was surrounded by people willing to help her at all costs. 

The inconsistent, but raging stomping of feet came from East of the forest pulled Caroline from her thoughts. Jasper and Rosalie were the first to take on the vampires. Carlisle and Emmett were quick to join. Caroline stayed near the wolves, letting the next round of newborns to come to her.

She flicked her right wrist and sent a group of unsuspecting vampires into the cluster of sharp rocks she had created with her left hand. A few heads were torn from their bodies, but the rest grew angry. 

They all came running at Caroline, a rush and need to kill her overcoming their senses. "I fucking hate newborns," Caroline spat as one came close to trying to bite her. She ripped their head off with a swish of her hand. With the other, she threw up walls of rocks at the unsuspecting vampires.

Two men had started encircling Caroline in an attempt of intimidation. She rolled her eyes, thinking to how they could never compare to Emmett's scare tactic. In a blur of blonde hair, one of the males was thrown, while the other was left shocked. 

In his state of confusion, Caroline may or may not have set him on fire. 

Jasper and Rose appeared on either side of Caroline, laughing for a moment before taking off to help their other family members. 

A girl tried her luck at Caroline and attacked her from behind. She did a little better than the men and at least got her hands on her. Her luck did not serve her well as she was struck down by a stray lightning bolt to the head. 

"Hoe."

Emmett took care of the other half of the girl as he felt the need to karate chop off the rest. 

It was clear that the newborns were given little, if any, training. Bodies dropped left and right, and limps were thrown about the battle field. The Cullens, wolves and Caroline narrowed down the enemy into what they thought was the last one left.

Bree Tanner was a meek, 16 year old vampire who had been bitten and left to thirst in a rundown street that Riley and Victoria had taken over. Her life hadn't been much better before she had become a vampire, so it was easier to just join Riley rather than try and go home.

Esme gave the teen a smile and brought her over to a pretty blonde girl that Bree had seen fighting. She could tell she wasn't a vampire since her cheeks were red and her eyes weren't. Bree could also sense that she wasn't completely human since she didn't feel the want to rip her throat out.

"Bree, this is Caroline."

Caroline smiled, the hair surrounding her face seeming to be glued down by sweat. She didn't feel the need to say hello as she nodded at the girl. Instead, she made the move to go find Emmett and wipe her sweat off on his shirt. 

"Why am I not so thirsty around you?" the newborn asked, her hand wrapping around her throat.

"I'm a witch, so I don't really have much of a smell," Caroline explained. She felt her eyes drooping as she was talking. She felt like an addict with how she had such a need to be around Emmett.
