I was caught in a dark, confusing limbo. I registered pain but wasn’t able to do anything about it. I felt freezing cold, even colder than normal. I felt hollow, lost and confused. Memories of the battle assaulted my mind and remembering my fight to the death with Jacob Black was in the forefront.

Every slash of his paws was ingrained in my memory as they tore through my skin like wet tissue paper.

Every painful bite of his powerful jaws radiated through my body, with sinews and ropes of muscle being pulled from me, causing me agony.

However, the death blow of Jacob’s teeth ripping my throat out made me shiver in torment. I felt as he tried to end me, but I threw him over the cliff. I vaguely remembered seeing his body land on the rocks below, naked and with a rocky spear through his stomach with my ice sword through his heart.

I collapsed as Jake took his final breath and Bella pressed her bleeding wrist to my lips, trying to revive me. It took every ounce of strength to drink from her vein and I felt its healing properties make its way through my body, but I felt myself drift. My body was protecting itself, shutting down. After I heard Bella’s anguished cry, I drifted off and I stayed in this limbo.

While floating in that gray haze, I was vaguely aware of the passage of time. I could sense when the healers as they came to work on my battered, bruised and broken body. I smelled Bella, her tears, but could do nothing to comfort her. My body was stuck, unmoving.

After each healer came to work their magic on me, I fell deeper into hibernation. It wasn’t a coma because I was somewhat aware. It was not sleep because I was not resting, but I was unable to wake up. It truly was limbo.

All I wanted was to be warm.

Not warm.

Blazing hot, almost scalding.

I needed Bella. I needed her body against mine.

I needed to feel.

I helped Carmen remove Marcus from the wall. His body was heavy and I could smell the decay from his death permeate the room. Once he was down, I tugged down a curtain, covering his body. “I’m sorry, Marcus,” I whispered, saying a prayer for him. “So sorry.”

“Can you still feel Edward?” Carmen asked, her neck wrapped in bandage, but it was still bleeding. “Hear his thoughts.”

“His mind is closed to me, but I can feel him. He’s angry, with a touch of fear,” I whispered. “But, he’s beyond angry. I can feel his rage and contempt for everything that happened here.” I was weary, sore and drained from using so much power. I heard an angry screech and Liam flew into the throne room as a thunderbird. In his talons, he held something. He hovered as he put that something down. I recognized her immediately. “Rose!” I gasped, falling to my knees, taking her broken human body into my arms.

Liam transformed and he crouched next to me. “I was flying to follow Lord Edward and I saw her running back to the castle. Or rather, stumbling. I smelled the blood on her and she collapsed. I picked her up and carried her here,” Liam said. “She needs medical attention.”

“Get Emmett,” I said, cradling Rose’s human form in my lap. She was beat to hell and I could smell Jacob all over her. Inside her. He’d done to her what he did to me, but it was far more brutal because I could smell blood, too. Emmett came barreling into the throne room. His face was haunted and torn, anger flashing in his eyes. He made his way toward me. He picked up his mate’s tiny hand.

“Was she …?” he trailed off. He inhaled and I heard him growl lowly. “Oh, Rosie …” He blinked to me and his eyes were filled with sorrow. “How?”

“Patience, Emmett,” I said, squeezing his massive shoulder. As I did so, I felt a terrible pain rip through me. I gasped and clutched my stomach. “Edward …”

“What is it, sweetheart?” Carmen asked, crouching next to me.

“He’s fighting Jacob,” I choked out, the pain deepening and I groaned. I closed my eyes, forcing myself into his mind. I saw him angrily swipe at Jacob, causing my ex-husband and monster to bleed profusely, but he was still strong, fighting back. His powerful jaws latched on to Edward’s neck. I gasped, clutching my own neck. I focused my energy, my power on my connection with Edward. With a growl, I found myself out of the throne room and at a cliff face. Jacob, in his wolf form, black and menacing, was fighting a snow-white wolf. I could see both of their coats were covered with blood, but Edward’s coat was more apparent with his white fur. But, I couldn’t tell if it was his blood or cast-offs from Jacob.

They tumbled and Edward landed on his back, a tortured whelp coming from his throat. I held up my hands, ready to destroy my ex-husband, but Edward hopped back up, limping a bit before attacking Jacob again. He swiped his front paws. His claws were glittering with frozen magic, causing immediate frost bite on Jacob’s chest.

Bella built a fireball and I did the same with a ball of ice. We infused our souls into our combined powers and with a whoosh, we sent the glowing ball of energy to the entrance. It exploded, and the doors flew open, followed by a deafening silence, an unnatural silence.

The calm before the storm … 

“Now!” Peter hissed, and he took off, his blade glimmering in the pale moonlight.

We made our way into the compound.  Tanya morphed into her bear form, attacking dark elves as they appeared out of nowhere. The other shapeshifters attacked the werewolves. Bella and I worked as a team, attacking the dark creatures and ending them effectively with our combined powers. Alice and Jasper used enchanted arrows, shooting the wolves and dark elves from the protective wall surrounding the compound.

Kate used her electric powers, zapping everyone in her reach and Garrett utilized his knowledge of weather control to darken the situation further, blanketing the compound with a dense fog.

“Edward, we need to get to Aro,” Bella said, lighting an elf on fire. He screamed, and I froze him, destroying him with a swift kick to his midsection, shattering his frozen form. “Where is he?”

I opened my mind to her and she saw a throne room from my memory. “Can you blink there?”

“Hold my hand,” she said. I did so, and I felt the world fall away and we were inside. A trio of werewolves were guarding the throne room. They were large and snarling angrily. I fell forward, turning into a lion and infusing my claws and teeth with my magic. I ran forward, sinking my teeth into the jugular of one of wolves. With a harsh twist, the wolf’s neck was broken, and he fell down, dead. Bella was calling upon her powers, surrounding the second wolf in a circle of fire. I roared and blasted the wolf that Bella was attacking with subzero air, freezing the wolf. She blew up the wolf and his gore covered the dark walls.

“Get her,” said a female voice, sounding very much like a child.

I changed back into my fae form, glowering at the two tall creatures in front of me. I narrowed my eyes, smelling the distinct scent of vampires, sweet and cloying, with decay surrounding them. I glared at them. “Jane,” I snarled.

“You know of me,” she smirked. “How quaint.”

There was an angry growl and the third wolf jumped over Jane. He attacked me, his teeth digging into my arm. I howled in pain, changing my other hand into a massive paw, eviscerating the wolf. His innards fell out of his wound and his teeth were removed from my arm, collapsing onto the floor. The wolf changed and was a naked, muscular boy. A dead, naked muscular boy. I looked up, seeing Jane and her brother closing in on my mate. “Back away, vamps,” I growled.

“We want to have fun with her,” the male said. “Jacob said she was tight.”

“Like you could get it up for anyone but me, brother,” Jane sneered.
