Chapter 16

(Crystal's POV)

It was the day of the battle with the newborns, and I had just finished taking a shower, and I was now getting dressed. I was wearing a Hell Bunny Roxanne Corset Black, with my French Connection black leather jeans, an Alexander McQueen leather biker jacket with Peplum, and to top it all off, I was wearing Chunky Heeled Boots with Wrap Belt Detail to Cuffs.

When I was done getting dressed, I went over to my vanity and began to apply my makeup on. I had my lips coated in red lip gloss, and I had applied eyeliner, and blue and black eye shadow that I had combined to make me look bad ass. I didn't get carried away, though considering we were going into battle, not a beauty contest.

Once I finished, I heard a knock on my door, and then waltzed in Alice, alongside Rosalie into my room.

"Good morning, Tally." Alice and Rose said to me.

"Good morning, Rosalie, Alice." I said back to the both of them.

"I'm glad you're up, and already did your makeup. Now, we can fix your hair." Alice told me excitedly.

I smiled at both, shaking my head. "Alice, we are going into battle. Do you think it's really necessary to do my hair for the occasion?"

"Of course!" Alice chimed. "What's wrong with wanting to look good while we fight?"

I just giggled, shaking my head and let the two of them do whatever to my curly hair.

It didn't really take them long to fix up my curls. They re-curled my curly hair so that it could look presentable but also give me the bad girl style.

"There we go! Your curls are now manageable, and yet awesome looking!"Alice told me happily.

I smiled at my reflection in the mirror and said, "Thank you guys for doing my hair. It looks great."

"You're welcome, but you should come downstairs and get something to eat and build up your energy." Rose told me with a smile.

I nodded my head and stood up from the chair, leaving my room with Rose and Alice following behind me.

I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where I saw my mom placing my eggs, toast, orange juice, and fruit on the table. I walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek and then took my seat at the aisle.

"Good morning, dear. Did you sleep well?" She asked me affectionately as she leaned on the counter, watching as I took the first sip of my juice and swallowed.

"Good morning, mom. I slept great, thanks." I told her and I took a bite out of the eggs, relishing the warm flavor of the cheese mixed in with it. Being able to eat human food was one of the more pleasant things about being so different from the rest of my family.

"That's great, darling." She told me softly.

When I was done with my meal and juice, I placed my plate into the dishwasher and proceed to go into the living room where everyone was gathering.

"Good morning, Daddy." I told him happily as I danced over to his side and kissed him on the cheek.

"Good morning, princess." He told me kissing my forehead.

"Where's Jazz, Alice?"I asked her, looking over near the french doors that lead to the backyard.

"He went to go grab your bag of weapons."Alice told me.

"Okay." I told her before turning around at the sound of Jasper's footsteps.

"Good morning, darlin." He greeted me with a smile as he entered the room. "Did you sleep well last night?" Jazz asked me.

I smiled at him and walked over to him and placed a loving kiss on his lips. "Yes, I did sleep well last night, thank you." I told him lightly, though I briefly wondered how Bella and Edward fared on the mountain last night?

I was broken out of my thoughts by Jasper as he gestured to my duffel bag. "Here you go, darlin'." He said to me and handed me a bag fill with my weapons.

I took the bag from him, and placed them onto the ground, and opened it up. I took out my handguns and revolver and placed them inside their holsters on my hips. Next, I took out my twin bladed swords and placed them into their sheath on my back. I reached my hand into the bag again and pulled out my Sais which I then placed in the strap that was on my thigh. And last, but not least, was Jackson's new invention. It was a black leather whip that was made with vampire venom.

"Okay, I'm all set. Should we head out now?" I asked my dad and mom.

"Yes, let's head to the clearing." My dad said to us in agreement.

I nodded and walked out of the living room and out to the garage to get my motorcycle. I grabbed my keys off the hook and jumped onto my bike. I placed the keys into the ignition and started the engine and drove out of the garage.

I decide to drive close to the clearing and then run the rest of the way there. It didn't really take me that long too get to nearby area that was 40 minute run from the clearing all I need was to hide the bike behind some bushes and then I can run to where the rest of the family was.

I hid the bike behind some big bushes, and took off running to where my family was. When I had finally reached the clearing, I saw my family standing next to each other looking at me.

"Why didn't you just run to the clearing with us instead of taking your motorcycle?" Emmett asked me.

"Because I didn't feel like it. Besides, I always ride my motorcycle when I'm on my slayer duties." I told him.

"Alice, when will they be arriving?" Dad asked her, bringing the focus back to the matter at hand.

"They will arrive in about five minutes." She told him cautiously.

I walked over to Jasper and stood next to him, waiting patiently for the newborns to come. It wasn't long before I could feel him tense next to me and I knew that the army was here now. I could hear the sounds of their feet padding on the ground running into the clearing, along with the occasional growl when the would breathe in Bella's scent that she marked the trail with in her blood.

"There here."Alice said to us in a low whisper.

It was then that I felt the presences of the shape shifters getting into their position, hidden where they were to cut the newborns off when they split off at the same time the newborns entered the field.

I waited for Jasper to give the signal for us to attack, and he did by being the first to charge, running at them. I decided to take my handguns out of my holster and aimed it at two newborns, pulling the triggers as the sound of a double 'BANG' echoed through the clearing.
