As I stood eyeing the troops before me, I got the feeling this would be easier than expected. I pursed my lips slightly – it was an angry pout – knowing that my enemy was overconfident and that would work against them. This fight would be easier than some of the smaller ones I had had previously.

            I looked at their numbers once more, wiggling my fingers in a perverse sense of excitement. The armies seemed to be waiting for me lead, so I walked – agonizingly slowly – further into the field and closer to them. A smirk formed on my face, knowing it would antagonize the group even further.

            They had still not moved, so I stepped my cockiness level up one more. I commanded them to attack.

            And they did.

            It was wonderfully exhilarating to charge into the massive swarm of vampires. They all were trying to bite, scratch, and grab me at once, but all of their attacks bounced right off my shield. The familiar tingling sensation told me some of the vampires still standing were trying to use their gifts on me. It irritated me yet fascinated me as I realized I would have some new gifts to test out. My smirk grew as I continued to dismember each body that my hand grabbed.

            I knew they were people, they moved, they spoke, they thought. But they also killed and without mercy. I couldn’t help but lack remorse for ridding the world of them, knowing I was making the South safer without them.

            I almost stopped mid stride when one of the vampires in front of me froze. Apparently one of the vampires in the line had the power to immobilize others and after they attempted to use it on me, I accidentally had used it on that vampire. I tore him into pieces, processing the information while my body remained in motion.

            By the time I reached the end of the field, with a mass of vampire body parts behind me, the leaders of the armies were standing to fight. They had obviously not expected they would have to do so and it did not take long to finish my task.

            The army that was set out to destroy me had done me the favor of starting a bonfire. Presumably they had believed it was for my body, but I put it to use, collecting pieces of marble skinned vampires to set them ablaze.

            I had been right about the other side’s overconfidence and how easy I was able to defeat them, but that did not help my mood. If an army of three hundred plus vampires could not find a way to defeat me how was I ever going to die? Would I really have to lie down and beg another to tear me to shreds and burn the remains? I had hoped I wouldn’t have to stoop to that level of defeat, but it was looking like I would have to if I wanted an escape.

            So caught up in my own thoughts, I was absolutely shocked when I heard my name. I snapped my eyes up, taking in Alice’s petite frame, ahead of the rest of her family. I was so stunned that they were there let alone the fact they had managed to sneak up on me that I almost dropped the appendages I had been holding.

Keeping my grip on them I glanced around at the Cullen family. They had formed a sort of semi-circle around me. Not quite cornering me, but close enough. It was obvious they wanted something from me so I bit back the panic inside that was telling me to run away – quickly.
