Chapter 7: Unity
The sky opened up and rain came down pouring, thunder echo in silence roaring through the storm, big raindrops fall to the earth beating down all in their power. Many hearts are broken and the storm fuels its fury. The Nosferatu calls out to his ancestors charging in a blinding light of fury greeting The Wolf head first sword in his hand. Steal meets claws, ripping, scratching blood over flows. The stench of it blinded many vampires – dropping them to their knees; Nella steps up, interfering in the battle her sword draws the black liquid from the Nosferatu, his cries send shivers through those close and miles away. He turns on her growling "Die ...!" She stops him with only a hand signal calling out the words loud and clear "Ricordi Nostro pacchetto! (Remember our pack)"
He turns his head yellow eyes following her, his tongue licking the black liquid from his arm looking at the wolf he whispers "This means nothing Jacob Black, your blood is mine ..." and in thin air he disappears.
Jacob Black leader of the werewolves here to protect and serve as the truce made with the Cold Ones by Ephraim Black years ago. He is the protector of the innocent against the growing army of the un-dead his second in command Leah Clearwater was send to protect Bella from the Duke and all vampires in general as Charlie, Bella's Dad is a big friend of Billy – Jacob's Dad. He was looking for her (Leah) and found her eventually almost dead; she should be dead as a vampire's venom is dangerous to a werewolf as well.
Seth picks her up again – in the fight with the Nosferatu he dropped her to help his leader, calling out to Carlisle "Doctor Fang, I need some help here, please ...!" Carlisle took Leah from him taking her into the room, where moments ago Bella was still sitting. He whispers in her ear "Leah, can you hear me." She shudders moaning softly. "I'm going to suck out the venom, it's going to hurt, I'm sorry." He tells her softly in her ear. He bends down the k9's ejecting over the wound sucking the venom from her. She cries out, as the fire burns through her trying to fight it, claws drawn, trying to change to werewolf to fight the threat. "Seth" Carlisle barked "Hold her down!" Seth grabbed his sister's arms holding it next to her body whispering words of comfort in her ear.
Nella breathing hard, the Sword of Power still has drawn looking around challenging vampires and kin with her eyes. "We ARE on the same side! Let's forget our issues and fight together once the threat is illuminated then you can kill each other. Until then the next one stepping out of line, I will kill myself! Do you understand?" She growls "Do you understand?"
A voice load and clear in his southern accent answers her "Yes mam, I brought them." Jasper stands holding hands with Alice and there golden eyes are quite in contrast to the red ones staring at her fangs drawn – but not in challenge. They understand the Sword of Power and have no wish to challenge it or the mistress wielding it – for now...
Jasper ever the military man steps up to Nella calling out his army:
Tanya Denali joined by the by her sisters Kate, Irina and of course Carmen and Eleazar.
From the Irish Clan Siobhan, with her mate Liam and little Maggie with her bouncy red curls with the unique gift in knowing when she is lied to.
From Egypt we have Amun and his coven consisting of Benjamin and Tia.
From the Amazon, Zafrina joins us with her mate Senna and of course Kachiri.
Alistar the misanthropic English vampire who counted as Carlisle closest acquaintance, though he could hardly stand a visit more than once a century!
As Jasper calls out the Golden eyes they stepped up joining the ranks of the Sword of Power each holding their head high acknowledging the call to fight.
Jasper turns slightly to his left his back towards his wife calling out the rest of his army:
From Romania, Vladimir and Stefan,
Garrett with eager ruby eyes joins the Red Eyes eagerly looking at Kate smiling, bowing his head slightly.
Next were Mary and Randall as well as Pieter and Charlotte – all joining the Power of the Sword one more time?
The Cullen's except for Carlisle standing next to Jasper joins the fight as well. Emmett and Rosalie, Esme, Edward. Edward looks at Nella his face crumbling in pain and rages fast as lightning jumps her only to fly to the other side of the room, a call from Alice to Emmett barricading him in his strong arms. "Hold him Emmett!"
Nella looks at him tears streaming down her cheeks "I'm sorry Edward, he took her, it was the only way" She thinks back at the conversation with Bella just before all hell broke loose. ... Bella saying "Nella he will come for me, you know it, I know it, hell even the Nosferatu knows it, I'm marked. You cannot fight him on his turf, but the church, there he can be fought, and I don't know if we can beat him? But I will play my part; you just keep Edward alive and out of your mind until I'm with the Duke. Then you guys bring all the reinforcements you can get and I'll wait for you."
Nella falls to her knees crying out in pain for her dead lover "J J why?" He was lost to the cause now; a part of her for so long, took her heart helped her to fight the pain to practise the art in killing vampires, the forgotten specie? She cried tears of hate, she will avenge him, and she will avenge him and everybody that lost to the Prince of the Dead. Seeing in her mind's eye how the Duke took him down – sword through his heart, blood spraying once the sword was free, taking his life and her reason for living from her.
Nella looked Edward straight in the eyes saying "I'm sorry about Bella, but do you really think that we had a chance to get into the mansion? Ask your Major, a chance zero to Null. Bella came up with this idea; this means we have a fighting chance. The Duke will think that she wants to turn now. He will take her to the church, where we will be waiting for him. Now at the mansion we have a simple problem of too many vampires not only from the Vesperti clan but all 7 clans, because by honour they are bound to help in such a case of invasion. But at the church there wouldn't be so many because the Duke can't take the change. He knows there are a lot of people that doesn't want this union to take place so he will only take those he can trust. Bella will give him a sense of security and we will take him there, together destroying him forever!"
Tearless sobs rocks Edward's body looking through her memory of his mate sacrificing herself to try and beat the Duke at his own game. Esme took him in her arms nodding towards Emmett to let him go, her fist son, whispering words of encouragement to him, eyeing Jasper – and calm following touching all leaving a sense of ease and peacefulness. Edward growling at Jasper but the peacefulness only increases leaving his body and mind in easy silence only Esme's words of comforting him and his family's thoughts of encouragement fulfilling his need to destroy, for now.
Leader of the Pack; Jacob Black turns towards his enemies, barely able to handle the emotions, his body shaking with the tremendous strain not to change and rip them all apart. Jasper eyes him carefully sending the calmness towards him. His body calming down – looking over towards Jasper seeing the playful smirk touching the vampire's lips. He growls towards him and started to laugh "Come on man, stop that hahaha" Jasper laughs and everybody starting to laugh.
The mood changing to a more relaxing one until Carlisle stepped out with Leah and Seth at his side. Anticipation ripples through the ranks, a sense of forbidding touching the minds of one and all. "Jasper, prepare the troops please." Carlisle calls to his son authority clear in his voice, his eyes black and his voice firm.
At once Jasper calls them all together, back in military mode the Major calls to his mate, smirking Alice joins him showing all why they are the most powerful coven of Golden Eyes.
Nella steps forward with the Sword of Power in her hand looking at Jacob "Smell them; know their scent you will need it to distinguish between the Duke's ranks and ours. Nosferatu!" She calls and in a mirage of smoke he appears yellow eyes glowing, black tongue licking his lips, sneering at the werewolf "I know his smell and before he touches the earth he'll be joining the ranks of the Duke, bleeding on the ground, a death fit for a thief!" She looks at him the Sword of Power in her hand lifting it and he bows before he steps back softly whispering
The Song for The Sword of Power.
On our mother's eve
The stars joined the ranks
Even those forgotten, near to the sun
Shone brighter as ever on the bloody banks.
The Sword of Power
Run through his resources
Searching for its owner
Only in the Queen's hands does it find its true life force.
The Slayer wields it now
Silver it glows in the night, but not so bright in the day
All bows before its power
But its searches for her even in this forbidden times.
On our mother's eve
It will rise to the power of it's Queen
Silver it will glow in the night and blue in the day
All will bow before her power, or bleed on the ground as thieves.
All is forgotten...
Where shall we sleep?
Where will there be shelter?
For The Sword of Power runs through her veins.
The Slayer wields it now
Silver it glows in the night, but not so bright in the day
All bows before its power
But its searches for her even in this forbidden times.
On our mother's eve
It will rise to the power of it's Queen
Silver it will glow in the night and blue in the day
All will bow before her power, or bleed on the ground as thieves.
The Song for the Sword of Power
"So true, blood forgotten on the ground, not to drink and savour, but to bleed to death" The voice of Aro rang out, clapping his hands in excitement. Nine dark clothed vampires standing in the door, hoods covering their faces, the leader Aro from the Volturi removing his hood, the inside covered in red.
"Carlisle, old friend, we heard that you need some help?" Aro called to Carlisle "And the Voltari is here to assist."
The other vampires looked intense and with somewhat of fear at the Volari, it's common knowledge that the Volturi never does anything without ulterior motives, what could they possible gain to go against the Duke. They are the rule enforces only because they were put there by the Duke.
Nella lifts the Sword of Power bowing slightly "Aro, welcome, thank you for joining us, the Volturi is so very welcome in our mutual fight against the Duke."
"Aah Child, you are so very welcome, this will go down in history, we fighting together, for the greater good!" Aro replies holding out his hand towards her. For he can with only a touch see everything that happened with you, even your darkest fantasies and secrets.
Nella looks at him, she turns towards Carlisle, and he smiles at her walks towards Aro holding out his hand and says. "Aro, old friend, it's good to see you, welcome in Bloemfontein. Please come in, I'm sure you know everybody here."
The Volturi step inside the room, they each take of their hoods Casius, brother to Aro his hood in gold a prince maybe but definitely a master in tactics, Markus, master of eye noting the strings that binds us all. Then the guard Dmitri, best tracker, Felix, the muscle man, Renata, the shield and Chelsea, binding them all in loyalty. Alec, his hood in purple just like his evil twin, manipulating the elements and of course Jane, with her mind you only feel pain; a most powerful coven.
Nella with the Sword of Power stands up calling to them all "Vampires, The Red Eyes, Vampires, The Golden eyes, thank you for joining for remembering your word! Nosferatu thank you for abiding to the pack you made with Sir Caven. Jacob thank you for joining us in our quest, Watchers glad you could join me in this life. Many of us will die and those of us already dead will leave this earth with pride. No blood of ours will stain the earth like thieves in the night. Fighting against true evil, for believe me if the Duke with his Queen comes to power, this life will mean nothing and true evil will rule. Even Lilith Queen of the Damned made the pack to prevent them from ruling. Can we as not equals walk away and pass the death sentence on all? It's our duty as protectors, most of us protectors for Humans, but some of us protecting ourselves as with self pervasion all will be lost. Join me and the Sword of Power now and let's change history one more time, let us be brave so that this day can be remembered as the day that the Good fought with honour against evil and prevailed!"
As one they stood, fangs drawn, heads high, meeting a destiny almost lost against all odds...
