Valley of lilies

Chapter 29

The whole newborn army blitzes out of the woods and into the field Having the frenzy in their eyes. Their rabid thirst as they follow the scent of Bella, and Lily's blood. But the scent trail ends here. They're confused...suddenly something bolts from the trees with lightning speed and tackles a newborn

The other newborns spin to find a lethal looking Jasper in a crouch beside his victim's body. They rush Jasper, but Three of them go down, tackled by Esme, Rosalie, Carlisle, Emmett and Alice. Out of nowhere lunges Sam's Wolf, flanked by two wolves. They tear a newborn to pieces as Four other wolves dive into the fray.

Emmett sprints full-bore into the fight, relishing the battle. The wolves work as a pack, coordinated, deadly. Jasper controls the field with strategy and speed vs strength. Rosalie fights with icy calm. Alice with precognition. Esme and Carlisle fight side by side. The newborns are brutal and strong as hell, and vampires, and wolves are taking some vicious hits. Jacob's wolf charges into the clearing, tackling a newborn, going for it's neck.

On the campsite Lily, and Bella was with Edward kept updated with Seth's thoughts, Edward was reading Seth's wolf mind, then translating for Bella, and Lily
"Jacob just got there. He's good" Bella sighed relieved that he is okay, but on the other side Lily was dying inside from worry about Jasper's well being.

Edward was seeing the battlefield, the action all around him. Sam and Jacob charge at a newborn, each wolf grab an arm in the mouths and rip. Paul is surrounded by Three Newborns then Emmett comes to his aid. They share a look, a battlefield rapprochement. 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. Rosalie, and Nathaniel were fighting a group of newborns back to back not flinching once. 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. Jasper is a step behind her, trying to give her cover. Edward sees a newborn take note of Jasper's protective actions. Edward yells at Jasper, though he can't hear. "Jasper – back off – you can't be everywhere at – watch out!"as a newborn appears behind Jasper, and butes his shoulder. Alice spins, flings the newborn to Rosalie, Nathaniel, Emmett, and Carlisle who k*ll him. Alice tends to Jasper. " I can handle myself"

"Is Jasper alright? Edward..." Lily asked hopeful that he would give her an answer, but he only sees Seth's thoughts, talks to himself "Don't let them protect each other, good, go around..." Suddenly Edward stops, blinks, briefly disoriented as his mind is cut-off from the battlefield. He looks around, finds Seth frozen as well. They share a tense look. "Someone's hurt?" Bella asked Edward sensing his tension "Seth, go" Edward ordered Seth, and bolts away from the campsite, fast. " Is it Jasper?" It was Lily's turn to ask Edward whips the girls behind him against a cliff wall and takes a defensive stance in front of them.
" She's close. I can hear her thoughts. She knew we weren't there, but she caught my scent" Edward was referring to the red haired vampire, Victoria.

Victoria searches the battlefield from the treeline. She abruptly turns away from the fight, and starts running, following Edward's scent. " She knew you'd be with me. "She found us" Bella said with fear in her voice "She's not alone" Which is when Riley steps out of the woods. Lily immediately recognizes him, is taken aback. Riley edges closer, watching Edward's every move. As they both carefully position themselves. " Riley... Listen to me. Victoria's just using you, to distract me. But she knows I'll kill you" Riley hesitates. Surprised to be addressed. "In fact, she'll be glad she doesn't have to deal with you anymore" Victoria emerges from the woods, forming a square with Riley, Bella, Lily, and Edward at the apex. Victoria came beside Riley" Don't listen, Riley. I told you about their mind tricks. " I can read her mind, so I know what she thinks of you" " He's lying. "She only created you and this army to avenge her true mate, James. It's the only thing she cares about. Not you" Riley's beginning to hesitate. He glances at Victoria, as she says to him "There's only you. You know that" Riley focuses back on Edward, positioning himself to attack. Victoria's eyes burrow into the girls with bloodlust, revenge. "Think about it. You're from Forks, you know the area. That's the only reason she chose you. She doesn't love you" Edward said to Riley trying to convince him. Riley falters ever so slightly, doubt seeping into his mind, but Victoria's face is convincingly emotional. " Riley... Don't let him do this to us. You know I love you" Riley needs to believe her. His resolve returns. " You're dead" Riley charges toward Edward who doesn't move because he knows, Seth-wolf is leaping from the cliff above to land on Riley, Riley roars with fury and pain as Seth-wolf circles back for another attack. While Seth-wolf keeps Riley on the defense, Edward starts toward Victoria she backs toward the trees. Edward sees she's about to escape, so he darts into her path " You can escape. You always do. But you won't get another chance like this again" Victoria hisses at him, backs further away. "You want them. You want us to feel the pain you felt when we killed James. When we tore him to pieces. When we turned him into ash. When we turned him into nothing" Victoria finally erupts and charges toward  the two girls, but Edward never lets her get close he intercepts her and they roll down the hill in a death grip the girls were watching this battle, desperate to help

Meanwhile Riley kicks Seth-wolf hard against the cliff. Sharp shards of rock fall around Bella, while Lily ran in time to not hit her, Seth's wolf, battered, goes down. Riley spins toward the girls. Edward now has to protect them from both vampires, and he does with impressive kill with lightning fast speed, he bolts to Riley, kicking him back, then he darts to Victoria, smashing into her, as Seth's wolf struggles to rise, Riley joins Victoria's battle providing her with the tiny advantage she needs. Riley tackles Edward to his knees, and Victoria grabs him from behind, time freezes as Bella's eyes meet Edward's, and he see her clarity, she's never in her life been more sure of what she wants than in this moment, with purpose she grabs up a sharp piece of slate, Lily looked at her as if she is crazy "what are you doing?" Bella plunges the shard downward, stabbing her arm. blood immediately flows dripping bright red onto the white snow. Riley spinned toward Bella, the scent making him wild, also Victoria caught the smell; her head whips toward Bella. Edward seizes the moment  dead drops to the ground while flipping Victoria over his head, across the clearing and into a tree breaking it into two, Edward spins on Riley who's still bedazzled by the blood making him fall behind toward the trees, and bolts back to Victoria Seth's wolf, recovered, leaps up, tackles Riley and drags him screaming into the woods "Victoria, Victoria!" Victoria doesn't even glance at him, revelaing to Riley the painful truth. A betrayed face is evident on Riley's face before Seth's wolf starts to attack him, but he didn't kill him, instead he made him unconscious as Carlisle ordered before. Bella tears her shirt to create a make shift bandage, Edward charges Victoria  the two clash and begin a speedy battle. Until he pummels her down and, finally, maneuvers himself behind her, gelling her in a death grip.Victoria struggles; Bella, and Lily directly in her eye-line. She glares at both of them who glares back, every bit as fiercely. Edward's lips are at Victoria's neck, then he bites a huge chunk from her neck, ripping her head off. As the girls watches Victoria's body crumple to the ground.

A newborn comes out of nowhere, and attack Lily, then he bites her neck, Lily screamed out because of the enormous pain she felt in her neck, she felt as if she is burnt alive Edward attacked the newborn, and passed it to Seth's wolf who tear it apart. Bella ran to Lily's side, she was helpless as she can't help her friend, Edward came beside her "we need to go to Carlisle as fast as we can, Seth please help Bella to come I need to hold Lily" Seth's wolf nodded his head, and went toward Bella to ride over him, while Edward was already going to the other side of the mountains where the rest of them are there.
