Chapter Thirty-Nine, The Battle

It seemed the others decided they had wanted to help more than anything and were now vampires. The only exception were Amelia and Kieran as they didn't know what it would do to their mate bond with Jacob and Quil and didn't want to risk it. So now Kristen, Alex, Chloe and Dylan were now vampires. Four days later. Jasper and I, along with Elika and Flynn had gathered in a large snowy field with our family, the pack, our friends and our witnesses.

Standing opposite us were the Volturi, their Guard and their witnesses, including Irina. Leah and Seth were standing behind Flynn and Elika, who were tightly holding my hands. Jasper was standing besides Elika with his arm around Elika's shoulders and wrapping around my waist. On his other side stood Peter and Char who were flanking him, while Samantha and Reggie stood on my other side besides Flynn. Alex, Kristen, Chloe, Dylan, Emmett, Rosie and Bree were spread out behind us.

While, Carlisle and Esme stood in the front with the Denali's and Garrett who was Kate's mate. Behind them were Zafrina and her sister who were ready to blind Kate and Tanya if need be. The rest of the witnesses and the pack were stood around us filling in the gaps. As the Volturi came closer I held in my gasp of pain as I got all of the gifts at once, not wanting to let anything on. Slowly Carlisle stepped forward his hands held up in peace as he tried to talk Aro down, like he used to. But it didn't seemed to have worked.
"They're not Immortal!" Carlisle shouted. "These witnesses or the Legends you have in your own Library will attest to that. Or better yet, see for yourself. You can hear their heart beats, see the blood in their cheeks."

"Artifice!" Caius shouted, but was stopped from saying more when Aro raised his hand.
"I will collect every facet of the truth, but from someone closer to the story. Jasper. As the children cling to your mate. I assume you are involved. Come!" Aro ordered, holding his hand out to Jasper. I snapped my eyes over to Jasper, fear and worry shinning in my eyes. Jasper smiled softly at me as he pressed a kiss to my forehead and sent love to me and the twins as he started to walk towards Aro.
"Daddy!" Flynn and Elika shouted scared, causing everyone to look at us as he turned back.

"It's okay. Stay with Mummy." Jasper said before he continued his walk. I went to send the protection towards Jasper but Peter shook his head as he and Char moved closer to me. I'm glad we found a way to protect the knowledge of Dad and the others in our minds, it would not be good for us otherwise. Before long Jasper arrived in front of Aro, who took his hand almost eagerly. The longer Jasper was there the more tense I became as my hair started to crackle. An intrigued, greedy look past over Aro's face as his eyes darted from Jasper, to me, and then to our children as Jasper pulled his hand free. Then, Aro said something that we didn't want to happen. Ever. "I'd like to meet them." Aro stated rather than asked.

Slowly Jasper turned back to look at me, a resigned but angry look on his face as Seth and Leah growled from behind us. Squeezing my babies hands we started walking towards Jasper. Seth, Leah, Peter and Char following us for protection. All the way there Seth and Leah kept growling and snarling at the Volturi. Once we reached Jasper's side he held me and Elika close. While Seth stood besides Jasper protecting him, and Leah, Peter and Char stood on my other side besides Flynn.
"Ahh....Young Annalyssa." Aro said slowly as he looked me over, causing my glare to deepen and my hair to turn into flames. "Immortality becomes you. I see I guessed right about your power." Aro continued excitedly, making Jasper's arm tighten around my waist.

He looked towards our babies, making us all tense. Before he let out the most creepiest laugh I've ever heard as he pointed at them.
"I hear their strange hearts." Aro gasped and held his hands out for them. Sharing a look with Jasper for a moment. I walked forwards with our babies, not trusting Aro or any of his Guard to be near them alone.
"Hello Aro." Flynn said softly, he was the more outgoing of the two, as they both put their free hands in his while I held their other ones.

As Aro saw their memories his eyes went wide before he muttered, "Magnifico!" Once he released their hands and stood up, we moved back over to Jasper.
"Half mortal, half Immortal. Conceived and carried by this newborn whilst she was still human." Aro said turning away from his Guard to lock his eyes upon me.
"Impossible!" Caius snapped, successfully gaining Aro's ire once again.
"Do you think they fooled me, brother?" Aro asked scornfully.

With Aro's attention on his brother we quickly made our way back to the others, after Seth snarled at them. Once we'd made it back we heard Caius speak again.
"Bring the informer forward." He ordered. Once Irina stood before Caius the Guards all moved to surround Irina, who shared a frightened look with her sisters.
"Is that the children you saw?" Caius asked as he pointed in our direction, but his attention remained fixed on Irina.
Irina looked over at us briefly before looking down at her feet.

"I'm..I'm not sure." Irina stuttered.
"Jane." Caius called, not satisfied with her answer.
"They've changed. These children are bigger." Irina said hurriedly.
"Then your allegations were false." Caius stated.
"The Cullens are innocent. I take full responsibility for my mistake." Irina said, which rather surprised me. She looked over towards Jasper and I and apologised softly.

Behind Caius, Felix lit a torch and passed it towards Caius as Guards grabbed Irina. Knowing what was going to happen I quickly blinded Kate and Tanya with Zafrina's help. Spinning around quickly, I put Flynn on top of Leah and Elika on top of Seth and told them to close their eyes. While Carlisle tried to stop Caius, but it was futile. Though they had been blinded they still heard and screamed for their sister and tried to get out of Garrett's, Emmett's and Eleazar's hold. Garrett didn't let go no matter how hard Kate shocked him.

"Anna, Zafrina give us our sight back!" Tanya shouted.
"Tanya, this is what they want." Jasper hissed lowly to her. "If you and Kate attack, we all die." Tanya and Kate nodded slumping in their holds as we gave them their sight back. But what pissed me off was Jane. She attacked my husband with her gift as he was walking back to me, Samantha quickly used the shield to protect Jasper and he was able to get back to off the floor.

"Time for a taste of your own medicine!" I snarled as Jasper came to stand besides me, my hair now a raging inferno. Locking my eyes on Jane's once smirking face, I smirked at her.
"Pain." I mocked. Making her fall to the floor screaming, while the Volturi looked at me in fear.
"Do not mess with my husband!" I snarled. I Strengthened the power a tad as a warning before I released it. As Jane got up from the snowy ground panting, she looked towards me wanting to cause me pain, no doubt, but Samantha's shield was up and I strengthened it taking some of the burden from her, as Jasper intertwined our fingers together successfully calming me down.

Jane looked frantically at all of us, but we were all protected while Aro looked at Samantha and I intrigued.
"It's working." Reggie said as he kissed Samantha's temple and held her close. Samantha and I smirked at Jane, which made her angry as she went to step forward only to be held back by her brother, as Aro and Marcus shared a looks Sam growled as Alec released his dark vapour, not liking the look of the power coming from the vampire. Did they not realise I was a mirror? Sighing I released it from my free hand, while the other held Jasper's hand all the while keeping the shield up with Samantha as well. Which shocked Alec and Aro who signalled to Alec to stop. Once he did I stopped releasing the dark vapour, but we still kept the shield up.

"Aro, you see there's no law broken here." Carlisle said calmly, but Jasper and I could tell he was furious.
"Agreed." Aro said almost reluctantly. "But does it then follow that there is no danger? For the first time in our history, humans pose a threat to our kind." Aro shouted, completely ignoring what Carlisle told him earlier. "Their modern technology has given birth to weapons that could destroy us. Maintaining our secret has never been more imperative." Aro continued, nodding his head as he turned back towards his Guards as a nasty smirk came onto Caius' face.

"In such perilous times, only the known is safe. Only the known is tolerable. And we know nothing of what these children will become. Can we live with such certainty? Spare ourselves a fight today, only to die tomorrow." As soon as Aro finished his witnesses started muttering, "no" which is what he wanted as a self-satisfied smirk appeared on his face. Which only made my anger increase, before anything else could happen we heard footsteps in the tree line, as Alice and Dean came out of the forest. I sparred a glance at Rosie and Emmett who gave me a soft smile as they held tightly onto Bree, who was between them. Aro gasped as Alice and Dean walked over towards them.

"Alice! Dean!" Aro gasped. As they reached where the Volturi stood they were immediately intercepted by guards who held onto them tightly. "My dear, dear Alice, we're so glad to see you here, after all." Aro said excitedly.
"I have evidence that the children won't be a risk to our kind. Let me show you." Alice said she held her hand over Demetri's shoulder.

Third P.O.V:

"Brother?" Caius questioned, but Aro just ignored him as he beckoned Alice forward. Alice pushed them off her and Demetri slapped Dean around the face, unnecessarily, making him growl and fight to get out of their hold as Aro eagerly took Alice's hand.

"It doesn't matter what I show you." Alice snapped. "Even when you see." She continued as she yanked her hand free from Aro's grasp. "You still won't change your decision." She turned around to face Anna and whispered so quietly, so only Anna would hear her.
"Now!"
Flynn and Elika looked at their mother frightened as she brushed her hand through their hair as she sent them a loving smile, before she turned to face both Seth and Leah.

"Take care of my children." Anna whispered. Seth and Leah grunted and nodded their large heads, before they took off running into the woods. Jasper and Anna locking eyes with their children for what they hoped wasn't the last time.
"Get them." Caius ordered a vampire besides him, that took off after Seth and Leah. But he didn't get far as Anna muttered, "Pain." Causing the vampire to fall to the floor before she summoned a ball of fire in her palm, and threw it at the vampire, causing him a slow and painful death.

Alice roundhouse kicked Aro under his chin sending him flying into the air. But he managed to right himself and landed behind his army as he skidded in the snow. Alice tried to run over to her family but was captured by two Guards who held her arms in a vice like grip. Dean tried to break free as Aro ordered her to be taken away.
"Let her go!" Carlisle shouted as he ran towards Aro's army. Dodging and throwing the guards away from him thanks to Jasper's training and his need to save his daughter.

As Carlisle jumped into the air to free Alice, Aro met him in the air and a ferocious battle between Aro and Carlisle began. Shortly after, Aro landed on his feet and Carlisle's body landed on the floor behind him. But Carlisle didn't get up from where he lay besides a strangely distraught Alice. And it was proven why, when Aro stood up a malicious smirk on his face as he brought his hand out from under his cloak. Showing him holding Carlisle's decapitated head. Esme screamed in horror and agony as she covered her face in despair, while Carlisle's family and friends look on horror-stricken, and angry.

As Caius burned Carlisle's body in front of Alice, the others ran forward wanting to avenge their fallen friend/family member. As Aro's army joined in the fight so did the pack, ripping the Volturi army apart piece by piece. It seemed Peter's and Jasper's training paid off as the Cullen army were holding their own against the Volturi. Samantha conjured swords from nothing and was slicing the limbs and heads off the Volturi, aided by Anna lighting them on fire as she ran past with Jasper, flicking her hair towards the swords.

Dean had managed to escape his hold and was now joining in the battle fighting against Demetri until Jane tried to hurt him, but Anna had noticed and separated from Jasper ceasing their team work to help her brother. However, Jane had noticed her and sent Alec after her who threw her away, but that didn't stop her power. Until Alec had her in a choke hold which caused Dean to fall to the ground as he was no longer protected from Jane allowing him to be torn apart by Demetri and two other Volturi members. Emmett and Jasper noticed after hearing Alice scream as Dean was killed, ran to help Anna but she had freed herself as she used Kate's power on him. The high voltage sent Alec to the floor just as Emmett growled and charged at Alec.

"This is for hurting my sister!" Emmett growled as he stomped on Alec's neck with all his might, separating his head from his body before he threw the body away from him.
"Are you alright darling?" Jasper asked frantically.
"I'm fine. Are you.." Anna asked only for Jasper to go down in agony. Seeing her husband in pain again, something snapped in Anna, something dark. As her eyes became black and her hair a raging inferno she charged towards Jane intending to make the bitch pay.

"Hello Anna, I'm your other half. I'm Hel, the Goddess of Death." Anna heard in her mind as the other person took control. As she was nearing Jane she heard a yelp from behind her as Jacob was now under Jane's power, having saved Jasper. As Jasper stood up ready to help Jacob two members of the Volturi fought him, while another crushed Jacob killing painfully him. Anna or rather Hel gave Jane another taste of her own medicine as she dragged her over to Sam, Paul and Jared who licked their lips blood thirstily.

"Who...who are you?" Jane gasped between the pain, looking up at Anna in fear.
"I'm Hel, the Goddess of Death." Hel snarled before she threw Jane to the wolves who tore her apart slowly. She span around looking for Jasper, spotting him with Peter and Char. Hel saw they were starting to lose even with all the Volturi members they had taken out, sharing a look with Benjamin who had joined her. They grasped hands and punched the ground, making cracks appear in the ground from the two powerful Elementals working together.

With the shift in the earth as more and more cracks appeared Dylan, Alex, Kristen and Chloe were able to get free of the Guards pinning them down and help the wolves along with Samantha and Reggie. Tia was able to help Rosalie, but she and Emmett weren't able to get to Bree in time as Demetri tore her apart. Rosalie screamed in agony and Emmett roared as they fought with the vampire that had killed their daughter and tore him apart, tossing his remains into the larva in the crevice.

"Anna." Jasper cried relived as he wrapped his arms around his wife. When he looked into her eyes he noticed something different about his wife.
"I'm Hel, the Goddess of Death and Anna's other half. And I love you just as..." she didn't get to finish as Felix ripped her from Jasper's arms ignoring the electric shocks Anna was giving him.

"LET. HER. GO!" Jasper roared as the Major broke free at his mate being in danger.
"I don't think so." Felix taunted before letting out a yell as he dropped Anna. As he got a large electric shock and his arms and chest were burned from Anna's hair, as a fire started to consume him. 
"Are you okay my darlin'?" Major asked.
"I'm fine my Major." Hel answered as she kissed his lips softly. They rejoined the fight working together as a ferocious team, the God of War and the Goddess of Death wreaking destruction onto the opposing army. Joined by their second and third in commands; Peter and Char, and Samantha and Reggie with his Telekinesis.

Esme who wasn't that much of a fighter got pulled onto the edge of the ravine by a Volturi Guard who was dragging her down with him. Colin who was on the other side of the ravine and trying to shake off the Guards holding onto him, noticed Esme being dragged down, jumped across with the two still on him and pulled the guard off of her. Only to fall down into the larva with them, even as Esme tried to grab him. Alice seeing two of the Guards who helped kill Dean she raced towards them, killing and throwing others out of her way. Paul and Jared racing to help her, killing any Volturi members they come across. They were angry they had lost some of their pack and were out for blood, with all three of them working together they successfully killed the Guards who killed Dean and the one that crushed Jacob.

The Cullen army were winning, there was now more of them then the there was of the Volturi army. Aro angry at seeing his army losing, especially at the hands of Anna and Jasper or rather Hel and the Major threw his cloak in huff but still he did not join the fight. Though, Caius did. He ran at Tanya as she defeated a Guard and started to choke her, only for Garrett to jump in and kick him off her and in Kate's direction. Her electrocution power brought the mighty Caius to his knees gasping for breath, as Tanya stalked towards him like he was her prey and ripped his head clean in half.

The Romanian vampires, Vladimir and Stefan saw Marcus standing unprotected and quickly finished killing the Guard members they were fighting and raced towards the King. Marcus knowing they were coming, just stood there waiting and ready for death.
"Finally." Marcus sighed happily as held his arms out. He was done and just wanted to be with his beloved again, so he did nothing and let the two Romanians grip his arms and tear him in two. Aro angry at his brothers destruction charged at Anna and Jasper who charged at him. Wanting to destroy the man who wanted to tear them from each other, and from their three beautiful children.

Aro threw Jasper away from him making him crash into Anna, but they would not be deterred. Working as a team they kicked and punched Aro, not letting him get a hit in, which made him angry and sloppy. Using her Elemental power Anna summoned roots up to bind Aro to the spot. As she took his sight from him she jumped onto his shoulder pulling his head. While Jasper jumped onto his back, tearing his body from his legs as Anna tore his head off.

As Anna threw a fireball at Aro's head and one at his body, the remaining Guards left the Cullen army and the wolves and attacked Anna and Jasper. They were succumbed to the shear number and died holding hands, as their bodies fell to the floor still holding hands, and their heads fell facing each other with soft smiles on their lips and love in their eyes, even in death. While their family screamed for them and the wolves howled at yet another loss of one of their own.

Aro blinked as he let go of Alice's hand, fear in his eyes as he looked over at the Cullen army, who were all still intact. The twins still sat up on Leah and Seth's backs, who stood beside their parents who glared at him. Anna and Jasper showing a strong force with their fingers intertwined, deadly flares upon their faces and Anna's hair crackling wildly. For she had just seen what Alice had shown Aro.
"Now you know." Alice spat at him. "That's your future. Unless you decide on another course."

"We cannot alter our course." Caius argued. "The children still pose a grave threat."
"They do not!" Eleazar spoke up. "If you actually read your Library you would know they can remain hidden from the human world." He spat at the Kings he used to work with, hatred and despise dripping from his tone.
"So now you know, could we leave in peace?" Carmen asked resting a hand on Eleazar's chest.
"Of course." Caius said. "But they are Legends. It cannot be known, if they speak the truth." He argued.

"Actually it can." Anna spoke up as she shared a smile with Alice as two figures came out of the trees, dressed just like Zafrina and her sister. They were a man and a woman who appeared to be related, shown through their similar appearances. The man though seemed like a vampire but not at the same time as he had human eyes, while the woman had red eyes. As they walked through the Cullen army Zafrina and her sister bowed their heads to them in respect as they past. Neither said a word to anyone, until they stood just behind Alice.
"I've been searching for witnesses of my own among the Ticuna tribes of Brazil." Alice stated.

"We have enough witnesses." Caius refuted.
"Let him speak, brother." Aro snapped, obviously intrigued.
"I am half-human, half-vampire. Like the children. A vampire seduced my mother, who died giving birth to me. My aunt Huilen... raised me as her own. I made her Immortal." The man explained.
"How old are you?" Jasper asked worried for his children.
"A hundred and fifty years." He explained as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Though they had all read the Legends it was a relief to have proof that the twins will live as long as them. Jasper and Anna rested their foreheads against each other happy the twins wouldn't have a short life.
"At what age did you reach maturity?" Aro asked.
"I became full-grown seven years after my birth. I have not changed since then." The man explained as Flynn and Elika smiled happily at their parents.

"And your diet?" Aro pressed unrelenting.
"Blood, human food. I can survive on either." The man explained.
"These children are much like us." Marcus spoke up.
"Regardless, the Cullens have been consisting with werewolves. Our natural enemies." Caius argued, obviously wanting a war. But Aro just placed a restraining hand on Caius and shook his head, scared about his death if he went against Anna and Jasper, the Goddess of Death and the God of War.

Aro turned to look at his army ignoring Caius' shocked look. "Dear ones, there is no danger here. We will not fight, today." As he said that Caius left in a huff and others started following him. As Aro was leaving he stopped as he reached the tree line and looked back at Alice, Anna and Samantha.
"Such a prize." He muttered before he left.
"We have them on the run. Now is the time to attack." Vladimir said.
"Not today." Carlisle said as he walked past them over to the rest of his family.
"You're all fools!" Stefan shouted. "The Volturi might be gone, but they will never forgive what happened here." He said as he looked over at Anna and Jasper who had one child on each hip and their arms around each other, then other to the others. But he saw no one was listening to them, so they left after the Volturi by themselves, while everyone rejoiced with their loved ones.

Anna's P.O.V:

I smiled happily up at Jasper who had Elika in his arms and I had Flynn, but they had their arms around our necks. Jasper smiled back at me as we kissed each other passionately, to our children's disgust.
"Eww! Mummy! Daddy!" Flynn and Elika complained making everyone laugh as we pulled apart, as other couples were doing the same.
"Jazz, I have to tell you something." I said against his lips.

"What?!" Dylan cried.
"Please say your not pregnant!" Alex continued.
"Again!!!" Reggie finished making everyone laugh once more.
"Ha ha!" I said as I sent a strong gust of wind at them and knocked them on their arses.
"She's not denying it!" Emmett gasped dramatically, getting smacked around the head by Rosie while I sent the wind at Emmett making it hold him upside down in the air.

Bree, Flynn and Elika were almost crying with laughter.
"What is it darlin'?" Jasper asked.
"In the vision Alice and I had I found out..."
"Your pregnant!" Dean, Peter and Garrett gasped, joining in only to groan when they got slapped by their significant other and suspended in the air to join Emmett.
"No you idiots. I found out I'm like Jasper, I have a split personality. Mines Hel, the Goddess of Death." I said looking up at Jasper fearfully.
"Darlin', that doesn't change anything. I love you no matter what and I would love you even if you were pregnant. I'm kidding." Jasper said rubbing his chest where I slapped him.

"It shows we're a perfect match. And I love you so much. Now, let's go home so we can get our other daughter back." Jasper said as he kissed me lovingly.
"I love you too, so much." I said against his lips. Once I let the idiots down we led the way back home.
