12. Raged with fiery

One other male newborn perches tall with her; snarling his teeth. It's like having all my nightmares coming forth to greet me once again.
I look to my left to find a golden wolf dug down ready to leap. I know exactly who it is too. Seth. I didnt think he was ever here; but maybe Jacob sent him to look after us. And now I hope that is the reason Seth's here; because then I know Jacob is okay.

"No need Riley; this will be easy..." Victoria whispers; but we can all hear it. The one supposedly named Riley jumps down fast and leaves the summer tree rocking in it's place. His eyebrows tint down as he concentrates hard on us; walking closer and closer. I know Edward can read his mind; but me on the other hand, has no idea what's going on.

"Riley; listen to me. Victoria's just using you to distract me. She knows I'll kill you, in fact she'll be glad she doesnt have to deal with you any longer." Edward speaks with a bit of edge and I know why. Victoria has started climbing down the tree.

"Don't listen Riley; I told you about the mind tricks they play." Victoria says finally getting to the last branch on the tree. I gasp at the firmness in her voice; and wonder how she lies so good...

"I can read her mind, so I know what she thinks of you." Edward's toned voice says again. Victoria looks toward me and I grip Edward's hand tighter. I know how this might end if the wrong moves are made. We will die. Victoria will have her victory and will be still out there, hunting down the people I love...

"He's lying..." I hear Victoria whisper clearly. Riley looks over to her with a bewildered look. I know he's deciding which one to believe; so I look back at Seth and notice his teeth pulled back into a silent snarl.

"She only created you and this army to envenge her true mate; James. It's the only thing in which she's here for. Not you." Edward meets eyes with Victoria and she gives a low hiss.

"There's only you....you know that." Victoria says slowly but steadily to Riley. His brown hair gleams off the sunlight as he turns fast to us again.

"Think about it. You're from forks, you know the area; that's the only reason she picked you. She doesnt love you." Edward's voice now gives me chills; which run through my spine but I shake it off quickly. I move up a little to Edward's side so I'm prepared to fight -if it comes to it. Victoria watches me carefully with her mahogany colored eyes so I push closer into Edward. Riley steps toward Victoria with an angry manner and she suddenly speaks.

"Dont let him do this to us. You know I love you." her stance on the tree becomes more leaned and so I'm prepared for a quick attack. Riley looks toward Victoria and then cracks his head around to face us. The silence kills me and so I purse my lips for an answer. His eyes focus on me and then right to Edward's again. With slow steps he starts walking toward us. I trip backward but catch my fall. Edward's arm now streches past me -trying to guard me from every harm- but we all know what's going to happen next. Riley's eyes tint red while he takes one last step; kicking up the dirt from underneath. With two simple words everything goes all out.

"You're dead." Riley hisses loudly and launches himself toward Edward. I cringe back and watch as Seth leaps forward; knocking Riley to the side. They battle each other fiercly; Riley loosing his right arm and screaming in pain. I let go of Edward to launch myself at Victoria when I catch her running away.

"You wont get another chance like this again!" Edward yells stepping forward. I take a step as well, but he just shoves me back. Victoria stops suddenly and slowly turns; realizing he's right. If she keeps runnning there may never be another time; another day to kill each other.
Edward walks forward while I stay back catching glimps of the gruesome fight to my left.

"You want to kill her!" Edward yells again. "You want me to feel the pain you felt when i killed James." Victoria steps back scared now for her life. Edward is right though. Victoria only wants this out of her own pleasure. She doesnt want this to help anyone; if there was anything to be helped anyway. "When I tore him...to pieces. When I turned him...to ash." Victoria's teeth chatter as she rages out in pure anger. She takes a step forward right when Edward speaks again. "When I turned...him into nothing." Edward's voice is so tense...so... abominated toward her. I step forward right when Victoria's anger can't be held in any longer. With a shaking body she launches herself at me. Edward leaps up catching her in mid-air and throwing her back onto the ground. Victoria screams and kicks and fights her way off Edward. With long streching arms she prys herself back at me. Edward -like usual- catches her again and throws her back. She slams hard into a tree; but of course she's not hurt. With a grunt she's back into her snarling position; climbing up the tree. Edward grabs my arm and runs over behind the tree. He places me in a thick bracket and with one last look, goes over to rock the tree; making it fall with a sudden thud. Dust and dirt fly everywhere while Victoria hits the ground again. I re-attention myself toward Seth and Reily still fighting in the corner -ripping apart our tent. I come out from the brush and start running toward Edward; whose now on top of Victoria fighting away. I couldnt just sit there and watch when I could help. I mean I know I'm no true vampire; but I can still fight -to a point.
I'm about to come in contact with Edward when I stop in my tracks watching Reily escape from Seth's grip and kicking him aside. I step back right when Reily meets eyes with me. I gulp down my spit and then charge at him. Full speed. I hit him hard and we both fall to the ground. His teeth snarl at me as he kicks me off him, rushing over to Edward and Victoria. I gasp on the ground from the hard kick which has hit my lower stomach and close my eyes from tiredness.
"No..." I  whisper to myself. I slowly preach myself from the ground and take a step toward the melee occurring beside me. Victoria holds Edward in a head lock as Reily holds back his arms. They all look toward me in anger and astonishment, and I purse my lips. My energy has run out completly and I feel weaker than ever. I take a step forward right as my legs give out from beneath me. I fall onto the ground in a mess and watch as Victoria and Reily go back to their kill. I try to say something but my voice is hoarse and weak at the same time. I look to my right to find a small rock; serrated at the ends so I pick it up quickly. I push myself up from the ground and look back at Edward. With one movement I slice my arm leaving blood ripple down in streams. I grind my teeth and suck in the pain, for it hurt extremely. I swipe my hand across my arm holding out my blood to them all. Hisses approach soon and I watch as each one of them look up at me. I bite my lower lip and glide my eyes over to Edward's where his face turns into relief. With one stride movement Edward kicks Victoria away and throws Riley back into the tree; where Seth comes back in pulling him away.

"Victoria!" Riley screams trying to get free. "Help me!" Victoria looks back at me and then to Riley. She does nothing to help but yet watches Riley be pulled away from the scene. My eyes go weird as I look back down at the blood coming from my arm.

"Oh..." I silently say covering my hand on my arm. Victoria hisses toward me and then darts over; pounding my head into the ground. I scream out in pain as I watch her teeth form into a snide smile. Right then I realize this is the end. I am going to die. But I thought faster than any movement could tell; since Victoria was off me in a second. I slowly sit up and watch as Edward snaps her head in one fast movement; leaving not a cry behind. I realize then what has been done. Edward has killed her. Has killed Victoria. The one who has been causing everyone pain all these years. The one who has raged everyone with fiery.
