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.

As each day passed, Alice’s visions were becoming more refined. We learned names of the key players involved in Aro’s army. Aro was a dark elf and he was leading everyone with his plan of conquering the world, spreading evil over the planet. Jacob was the alpha wolf, leading Sam, Quil and Embry, members of the core wolf pack. There were a few other shapeshifters, but, they were nowhere as strong as Sam, Quil and Embry. Finally, there were some vampires, a group of enforcers. Demetri and Felix were the muscle, while two smaller vampires, Jane and Alec, a pair of incestuous twins, were the magical terrorizers. However, their sensitivity to sunlight, made their powers limited. They could only attack at night and they needed to feed often.

With each tidbit of information, it banded our growing army closer together. Also, more creatures came to help in training and to grow their magical knowledge. Part of the creatures coming in were here to help them train, but most of them were there to protect me and Bella. We were the leaders of the magical community in North America. If something happened to us, well, I didn’t want to imagine it.

Carmen and Marcus continued to work at the legal aid office, maintaining the human façade. Tanya, the shapeshifter, had taken over my position in the office. Carmen said she was good, but I was better. It made me remember that I missed practicing law. I’m not going to lie, but I could not even begin to fathom trying to balance my job and the rigorous training schedule, learning spells and mastering my art. I would go to bed, exhausted, physically and mentally. The only solace I had was being with Bella. Despite our exhaustion from training and expanding our magical knowledge, we always found times to make love, solidifying and fortifying our mating bond. It was only with her that I found peace and true happiness; where I felt most loved and protected. I knew the feeling was mutual. Bella tried to move closer to me whenever we made love, keeping her mind open to me and showing me what my love did to her, how she felt.

The only downfall of not interacting in the human world was the isolation we felt. Bella and I wanted to go out, have dates and spend time with our growing circle of friends. Peter and Charlotte, along with Carmen and Eleazar, felt that it would be important that we stayed in hiding. If we needed to go somewhere, we’d be heavily guarded. Deciding that heavy guard would be too much of a burden, we stayed put and poured ourselves into our training.
