Chapter 64: The War Has Come.
~~~ [START]
"What's the meaning of this?!" Laurent growled.
But before anyone could react, the beast launched forward, arriving near Alice, inches from collision.
Vlad only flung a finger, and it was sent flying through the air, hitting the ground and sliding with most of the dirt.
And everyone froze when it happened.
The wolf struggled up, eyes narrowed, its growls accompanied by cries disguised as whistles.
Vlad's eyes didn't move from James; they kept straight, still watching their dread glow. They reminded him of too much.
And right when James stepped forward, the others changed their stances. Some were standing on all fours, while others opened their hands and stretched their fingers in preparation for a fight.
"I think it's best if you leave!" Carlisle said, growling as Laurent stepped back.
His hands were raised in surrender. "Of course, as I said, we come in peace."
Laurent tried to move back, legs moving to step away, but he couldn't.
They all couldn't; it was impossible.
And they all turned their eyes to Vlad, whose hands were still clenched, with his eyes still piercing James.
"We said we would leave!" Laurent's voice creaked. "Friends, we come in peace."
Alice's hand tightened around Vlad's arm, head turning to his face, eyes widening at the small hint of red glowing brighter in his eyes.
The smell of dog, growing potent by the second.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Victoria hissed, the pressure on her neck tightening. "Laurent!"
"Carlisle." Laurent's voice was as calm as before, but his eyes held something else, something they had acquired that very second: absolute dread.
Carlisle turned. "Vlad, are you okay… Vlad?"
"Vlad." Alice moved her hands to his face, fingers rising from the jaw to his cheeks.
But in a blur, Alice vanished.
Her hand was snatched by the wolf's jaw, bitten, then pounded to the floor.
Jasper's eyes widened at the sight, his figure instantly dashing forward, while Carlisle and the rest turned their eyes toward him.
Alice frowned, instantly punching the wolf on the neck, but its mouth wouldn't let go. It just kept biting harder, its head shaking left to right, slamming Alice to the ground and sending her flying upward.
Then, in swift motion, it jumped, completely ignorant of its wounds, while biting her a second time.
But just as quickly as it occurred, Vlad blinked, appearing right in front of the wolf and Alice in nothing more than a moment.
His hands flung, sending the wolf flying, then sliding forty feet to the left.
But he blundered.
From nowhere, like a blur in the woods, a large brown bear of a wolf appeared, biting its head, then running its claws in its chest.
Blood spilled, body splitting from his head.
"Ahh!" Alice screamed at the sight of a headless Vlad, but Leah, still overclouded by bloodlust, sprinted and grabbed her by the leg.
Alice kicked Leah with the other, breaking her lower jaw, causing her to let go.
Then Jasper grabbed Leah from behind, locking his arm and tightening it around her neck.
Leah struggled, but Jacob, who was standing near Vlad's body, shifted his rage behind him.
Dashing in that instant and slamming against both Jasper and Leah, which forced Jasper's arm to let go.
And on the other side, Bella's eyes widened in disbelief, her hands shaking, and her legs losing all their strength. Vlad was dead.
But beside them, the power holding Laurent and his team vanished.
"More is coming!" Laurent turned his eyes to the far woods, looking away from Carlisle, who was inches from dashing toward Alice and Jasper, who were fighting off the two wolves. "We should leave—"
His words stumbled when James stepped forward.
"James!" His hands shot out, only inches from grabbing James' jacket. But just like that, James turned into air, dashing and arriving near Bella in a second.
Edward pulled Bella behind him a tad too much, breaking her arm, while sending her screaming beside him.
The blood from her wrist caused everyone there to give her a glimpse, just enough time for Edward to kick the distracted James in the gut, sending him flying in blurs into the trees.
"Carlisle, get Bella out of here!" Jacob dashed after him.
And Carlisle lifted Bella, who had been screaming the whole time and had collapsed because of the pain.
Then, with a step, he was also gone.
"They are thinking of fighting!" Edythe said from beside them, changing her stance, while Rosalie's eyes trailed to Emmett, who was running toward the others.
"I'll take the blond!" Rosalie dashed forward, with Edythe following from the back.
But Edythe immediately got punched ten feet to the right the instant she was at arm's length by Laurent.
Then he dashed toward her. "What the fuck is James doing?!"
"His—" Victoria didn't even get a chance to answer, because Rosalie grabbed her by the neck, slamming her with a headbutt, then sent her dragging on the ground by the head—her hand later letting go, then stomping, planning to crush the scalp.
But Victoria moved her head just in time, then kicked Rosalie between the legs, sending her sliding away after missing an instant kill by a hair's breadth.
"AHH!" And on the other side of the field, Leah wrenched in pain after getting punched in the rib by Emmett, who sent her flying and slamming against another.
But right before he could dash toward her, a giant black wolf, accompanied by half a dozen others, howled, stopping everything.
Paws launching forward, eyes narrowing on Leah, who was crying in whistles, with her fur covered in trails of red blood.
But beside them, right toward the place they were all too oblivious to observe, Vlad's finger twitched.
Or, in a sense, the finger of something else.
For something was coming; it was too late.
