Snow“ROSALIE!!”
I screamed as I ripped through the tower searching for her. I found her on the top floor sitting on her throne. “I’ve been waiting for you,”
she said with a maniacal smile. “Have you?” “Oh yes. I have great plans for you.”
She stood, “It was so cruel of your love to run away screaming as he did. To possess such a fickle heart, surely he cannot be trusted. Hm?”
She peered at me sympathetically while circling me, “I say it would be better to do away with such a man, join me like old times, and hunt him down for good measure. I’m sure his blood smelled quite delectable. So what do you say?”
I took a step towards her, “This is the woman who raised me…”
I grabbed her shoulders and dug my nails in making her wince in pain, “The person I watched and aspired to be…”
I banged my head against hers and glared into her eyes, “And that’s why you are so…predictable. I’m going to break you.”
I practically spit the words at her. It was the first time I had ever seen her waver, the first time I’d seen her afraid. 
RavennaBy the time I got into the tower I already heard the sounds of a battle taking place. I swore and tore up the stairs as fast as I could, but I was not prepared for the sight I saw next. Snow and Rosalie were locked in a fierce battle with neither side relenting. But Snow’s transformation startled me. I don’t believe I've ever seen anyone so altered. It was as if her very soul was missing. Suddenly Rosalie knocked Snow back several feet towards me, and I took the opportunity to intervene.
“Stop.”
She looked right through me, “GET OUT OF MY WAY!!” “Listen to yourself… You don’t even know who you are anymore do you? Do you really think it will end here? It was never in your nature to be this person, to do things like this. Your heart is supposed to be pure. If you finish her, then you will blacken your heart forever. And you won’t stop with her. You’ll then move on to hurting the people that you love. And when that happens my dearest Snow…you truly will be lost.”
She clutched her head then, and took deep ragged breaths. Finally she uttered, “I thought you hated me. I said such horrible things to you…” “Given recent events I believe you of all people know just how much fear can make a person react in ways they regret later. He is really sorry by the way. I gave him a good talking to.”
Her head suddenly snapped up, and I noticed that the red had faded from her eyes, and they had taken up a much brighter version of their usual dark blue, “You didn’t hurt him did you?”
I smiled relieved that she was finally coming to her senses, “No. He’s fine.”
I jerked my head in the not forgotten Rosalie’s direction, “She won’t be though. I’m going to finish this.” “I can help --” “No. Besides, evil looks good on me.”
SnowI had wondered why Rosalie hadn’t bothered interrupting our talk, but her next statement said it all, “Now I get the pleasure of destroying your sister before your very eyes Snow. Isn’t this wonderful?” “Well too bad for you, because that’s not going to happen.”
Ravenna transformed into a werewolf then, and headed for Rosalie. That’s when I remembered the blue aura encircling them both. 
“Wait! That aura makes you slower!”
She stopped, looked down at herself, looked to Rosalie, and then smiled. “Clever using this on Snow, because a vampire’s greatest strength is their speed. However you have a couple of problems now…”
She suddenly hit Rosalie with a punch that sent her flying into the wall, “The first is that fairy auras affect the user as well.”
She then walked over as Rosalie stood up and kicked her into the opposite wall, “The second is that a werewolf’s strength is power not agility.”
Wow, Ravenna really knew her stuff, I cheered inwardly. And I thought perhaps we could actually finish this. Rosalie slowly got up, wiped blood from her mouth, and cast yet another aura as she ran out onto the balcony. “I hope you didn’t think that was the only thing I had up my sleeve. You can kiss that brute strength of yours goodbye.”
Ravenna grimaced but then smirked, “I’m still stronger than you.” “That’s true, but you’ll have to catch me first.”
Then things took a turn for the worst. Rosalie shrunk herself down to miniature size as Ravenna tried in vain to land a hit on her, and the interaction was leaving her more and more exhausted. Not to mention with each pass Rosalie took swipes at her, until she was covered in scrapes and I feared she would bleed out. I made a move to intervene, but Ravenna only shouted at me, “Stay back!”
She gulped for a breath, “I can handle her. See…the aura is gone.”
The next thing I knew Rosalie crashed back down to normal size, and I noticed that the aura was actually gone. What was going on? Ravenna just cackled, “What’s wrong? You didn’t run out magic did you, casting all those auras I mean?”
Rosalie just glared in response, gasping for air. Her eyes darted around like a crazy person searching, I bet, for anyway to get out of this situation. Because I had learned over time that out of everything she was a master of surviving. The thought of it made my blood boil, and I suddenly ran towards her screaming, “Not this time!”
But my twin was way ahead of me. Little did I realize the moment she noticed my rage, she headed straight for Rosalie, who had in turn been too focused on me, and with one final blow knocked Rosalie down and out of our lives forever. I stood beside her on the balcony. “Even fairies cannot fly without magic. This cruel excuse for a life we’ve been given is almost over now Snow.”
Almost? That’s when the sun shone on my skin from behind the mountains, and I screamed in agony.
I clamored back inside to hide, and Ravenna rushed to my side, “You’re okay. It will heal.” “How is this OK?! Will I never be able to face the sun again?” “I believe I can assist you with that,”
a familiar sounding, gruff voice said suddenly. I looked up into the eyes of the vampire who made me this way, and immediately begin backing away in fright. “No…please. Anyone but you…”
Right on cue Ravenna growled, and began stalking towards the man. Even though she still suffered heavily from her fight with Rosalie, she showed no intention of backing down from him. Instead of engaging her, however, he held up his hands in surrender. 
“Honestly, I just came here to help. I never wanted to work for Rosalie, and I most certainly did not want to turn you.” “Liar!”
Ravenna hissed. But there was something about the look in his eyes. It was that same look I saw when he bit me. “Wait…I believe him.”
She whipped around, “You have got to be joking! First the witch, now this guy! This makes three times now that the witch used a locater spell to help Rosalie find you. And this jerk turned you into a vampire, but you put your faith in them?”
Her bringing up Kamaria kind of stung a bit, because it reminded me of our last fight. “I know it may seem…strange to you, but I feel like many people were put in difficult situations because of Rosalie. Situations that caused them to do terrible things, but I think that what’s important is that when it really mattered they decided to do the right thing. Besides I believe that Kamaria set this up for a reason. She must have known that this was the only way, and the only time that we could defeat Rosalie.”
RavennaI just put my head in my hands and sighed, “Vampire dude, you better have something worthwhile.”
I looked up to find him glaring at me. “I am to be addressed Lord Ayden--”
Good grief this guy was arrogant. I just waved my hands impatiently, “Yeah. Yeah. Ayden, why are you here?”
I saw him grind his fangs, and I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing, “I have on my person an elixir. It will relieve your sister of the vampirism I have bestowed upon her.” “And what you’re just going to cough it up?” He looked confused, “You misunderstand. It is attached to my belt, not within me.”
Just as I sat wondering how old this guy was, Snow finally stepped forward and asked for the elixir which he obliged without a thought.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. You are just going to take it? Not even sniff it first?”
She looked at me, eyes wide with desperation, “I need this… I just want to be normal.”
I plastered a smile on my face, but frowned inwardly. I guess for a moment I had hopes that we could both be different together… I glanced up only to see Ayden staring at me. What was that look, pity? I narrowed my eyes, “Werewolf bites are fatal to vampires. You better not move a muscle, because if anything happens to her…”
He nodded. 
And as if I didn't have enough people to keep an eye on, that’s when fancy face charged in, and enveloped Snow in an embrace, “I am so sorry. I love you, and I never should have let you out of my sight for a second. I’ve been wasting so much time worrying about losing you, that I never even got a chance to really be with you. So if you’ll still give me that chance, I would love to take it.”
She smiled brightly, “Of course! But I need to do this first.” “What is that?”
He said noticing the elixir in her hand for the first time, but before anyone could explain Snow raised her arm and threw the elixir down at herself. 
“Well…how do I look?”
she asked timidly. Fancy face chimed up, “Beautiful.”
They then digressed into yet another sickening rom com scene that I wish I could block from my memory. I looked over to find Ayden still staring at me. He raised a brow, “Am I permitted to move yet?” “Ha. Ha. Scamper off. You’re making me uncomfortable.”
When I thought he had long gone I looked back over to the idiot couple still wrapped up in each other, “Well unless either of you have any unfinished business to attend to here in Moonlight Falls, I believe it’s time we journey to Bridgeport. There are still two important people left to save.”
Snow finally tore herself away, “That’s right. Back to where it all begin, so that it finally can end.”
Little did I know, I was the one leaving unfinished business in Moonlight Falls, and it looked like it was quite determined to follow me home. 
Sorry about that. It might have been a lot lol.
