Twilight: Eternal Fight {Completed}

Chapter 13. You or Me?

Bella.

        The second I heard Alice behind me, I dashed out of the woods, and was at the house in seconds.  Everyone was already gathered outside even the other vampires. All of them were fully aware of what was about to happen accept me and Renesmee. I had Renesmee's hand in mine, and I could feel her try to escape from my grasp.

I let her go, and in seconds, she was wrapped in Jacob's arms. I could see him crying on her shoulder. I could hear him telling her about EJ. I could see the both of them break into sobs except Renesmee. Jacob was the only one who had tears streaming down his face, and Renesmee looked as if she would cry.

"Renesmee, go back to the house...I'll be there soon, you too Jacob," I told them and they didn't say anything or make any movement, they just left.

        As soon as they were out of hearing range, I snapped, "So what's going on?"

        I could feel my fists clench together as a small snarl escaped from my lips.  I knew that I didn't have to ask them what was going to happen, because I already knew.  I knew who Alice was referring to in the woods.  It was Tanya.

        "Bella calm down," I heard Jasper say as he glanced over at me while I growled under my breath.

        "How can I Jasper! This psychopath is coming to kill all of us! How do you expect me to calm down when we don't know what the hell is about to happen!"

        I shut my mouth after that outburst.  I could feel all eyes staring at me.  I could feel my body start to rattle as I took in deep breaths.  Nothing was working.  Nothing was calming me down.  I could feel Jasper trying to calm me, but it was working.  After about a minute or two, I found myself being calm again.

        I looked over at Jasper who was still concentrating on my emotions, "It's okay, I'm fine now."

        He nodded and gave a small smile.  I turned my attention back to Alice who was looking into space.  She looked down at me, and her expression suddenly changed.

        "So what's going to happen Alice?" I asked her and she looked down at her feet that was currently kicking the dirt.

        "They're all coming in three days...Tanya, Irina, newborns, and," she paused and took a deep breath in, "and Edward."

        My heart sank and my face fell.  I could feel all the emotions I had ever felt build up inside me.  Mostly anger of course.  I could feel flames start to ignite from my palms.  In a flash I was gone.  I could feel everything around me start to blur out of existence.

        I didn't know exactly where I was going only that something was calling me.  That's when I saw it.  I saw the small cottage where Cassie lived.  It had burned down months ago, but now it looks brand new.  Like nothing had ever happened to it.

        Before I could completely approach the door, it opened revealing Cassie.  I haven't seen her at all since Edward left nor had I heard from her.  But now here she is, the witch that said everything would be fine.

        "Bella, come in," she said welcomingly while gesturing me to come inside. 

        I walked in and everything was still the same.  It still had that creepy vibe that I guess everyone would get if they knew she was a witch.

        "So do you know exactly what's going to happen?" I asked her and she nodded.

        "Edward isn't really fighting with Tanya.  He's under her influence.  If you convince him to remember you then you'll be able to beat her."

        "Influence? How? Why Edward?"  I asked and could feel my hands start to shake.

        "It's her most powerful gift.  And it's still because she believes that she's Edward's, and that it would hurt you more in the fight.  She'll know you would surrender for him."

        "Well what if I don't?" I said as a nervous feeling started to crawl up and down my spine.

        "Then you have an advantage, and disadvantage on your hands," she said while taking a seat on the couch.

         "Like what exactly?" I asked and she looked down at her hands.

        She looked up at me again and her expression was emotionless as she said, "He'll die if you don't surrender."
