A/n Firstly I am so sorry that this chapter has taken so long. In all honesty I think that this sequel has been a disaster but my amazing beta twilight-is-lovee convinced me to carry on with it and finish it. This is the last chapter. I don't know if I will write an epilogue but just keep an eye out for it. If it's not up by Sunday then I will not be writing one. Okay?

A Distant Memory

Chapter 8: The Fight.

Bpov

Annabelle moved towards all of us, Dawn, Christian, and Antoine flanking her. All of us crouched down in front of Carlisle to protect him.

"It's time for you to watch Carlisle, while we take care of things," Annabelle said.

She crouched and jumped.

I threw Allie from my arms and lunged at Annabelle. The clash our bodies made on impact sounded like thunder. A feral snarl came from deep within her chest. I growled back, baring my teeth at her.

This was pure instinct. The deep need to protect Allie and the others was embedded in every fibre of my being. I was a force to be reckoned with. I was a mother.

Annabelle clawed at me, but I dodged her. From the corner of my eye I could see Edward prancing protectively around Carlisle and Allie. Esme was there beside him, fighting to protect her other half, son, and granddaughter. She was just as fierce as I. It was both wonderful and scary to see the normally quite, calm Esme growling and snapping like a wild beast.

They were fighting Antoine. He was fast but not as fast as Edward. Antoine lunged for Esme's neck but Edward already seeing what he was going to do threw him into the wall. He smashed through it into the next room. Still, his concentration on Carlisle didn't waver.

Rose and Emmett were fighting Christian. Emmett had Christian pinned against the wall. He was struggling in his grip. Rose moved to help Edward take care of Antoine.

Jasper and Alice were fighting Dawn. They had an advantage because she didn't have a special power, and when those two worked together, they were unstoppable. They moved around each other, snapping, clawing, jumping. They almost looked to be dancing together, that was how in tune with each other they were. Dawn didn't stand a chance.

That's when Christian used his gift to make a root grow up from beneath the floorboard. It moved upwards and started to wrap it's way around Emmett. I was surprised that Emmett wouldn't move when I noticed Antoine staring intently at him while also fighting Rose and Edward. He had him frozen again. The root moved upwards and squeezed Emmett tighter and tighter. I could hear something snap but I don't know whether it was Emmett or the tree root. Christian managed to release himself from Emmett's iron grip and ran over to protect Dawn.

Dawn and Christian moved together, almost as in tune with each other as Alice and Jasper. One moment it looked as though my family were winning but then either Antoine or Christian would use their gifts and everything would be even again.

Annabelle and I moved slowly around each other, slowly, sizing each other up. This time I made the first move. I leaped and landed on her back, my mouth went to her throat and I sunk my teeth into the hard, pale skin there. She screamed in agony and thrashed about, trying to throw me off her back. We crashed against Esme's favorite table, and then against the pictures hanging on the wall. Her hands grabbed me around the waist and threw me in the direction of Edward's cherished piano. The sound of the keys echoed around the room as I landed on top of it, making it collapse to the ground.

I jumped to my feet straight away, and Annabelle lunged for me again. She grabbed my hand and twisted it behind my back. She turned me to face the rest of my family.

Edward was fighting furiously with Antoine. Esme stood around Allie and Carlisle.

Rosalie was fighting Christian while Emmett was still locked in his trap. Alice was winning against Dawn, and Jasper moved between the two, offering a blow here and there to the enemy.

It was then that I heard the awful screeching, like metal being torn and the screaming coming from one of my family members. I looked around frantically. Who was injured? Were they okay?

My eyes landed on Alice. Her gorgeous, black, spiky hair was in disarray. Her thin, white arm was dangling from her body.

Jasper saw red and lunged at Dawn, but he was stopped by Christian. He was forced to the ground, and Christian was going to move in for the kill.

At the same time Dawn reached for Rose, overpowering her. Two of my family members were about to lose their lives and there was nothing I could do. Annabelle had me in an iron grip.

That's when it happened. Emmett was freed from his cage and was able to move. At the same time, Carlisle's movement returned. It was a miracle. They soon both joined the fight. Emmett went over to Dawn and in one swift movement tore her head off. Carlisle went over to Christian and tore him off Jasper.

Edward was still fighting Antoine but Emmett wasn't long joining them. Antoine tried to use his gift but it didn't work. The same with Christian's gift.

Annabelle watched, a look of fury on her face. "No! I was supposed to win." She made me face her. "What is going on?" she spat at me. She was so in shock. Her guard was down, so I took my chance and kicked myself free of her.

I jumped on her, and we both fell to the floor. I grabbed one of her legs and pulled. Once again I heard the screeching noise as her limb came away fully from her body. I threw it into the centre of the floor and turned to help Edward with Antoine when something grabbed me leg.

"Not getting away so easily, Isabella," Annabelle cried and twisted my foot. I heard a snap and pain shot up my left leg. I fell to the floor and Annabelle clawed at my stomach.

Suddenly Rose and Alice came up behind her, and both of them took an arm and pulled hard. They threw it into the center of the room, where I saw the remains of Dawn, Christian, and Antoine. Edward came up behind her too, his eyes hard, and tore her head off. Her body falls to the side of mine, lifeless.

Edward held his hand out to me and helped me up. He cradled me into his chest. "Oh, my Bella. You're okay." He leaned back to scrutinize me. "Well just about."

I leaned into him and breathed him in. "I'm a lot more durable than you think. Are you okay?"

"I'm okay. Antoine nearly had my head but I got the better of him." He smirked.

I saw Jasper cradling Alice. Carlisle was working on her arm, re-attaching it.

The body pieces were moved outside, and Emmett and Rose were taking care of them.

Esme was on the sofa with Allie, stroking her hair and soothing her.

"Allie," I cried. "Oh, my baby. Are you okay?" I was over beside her in an instant.

"Mom. You're okay. I thought, I thought..." She couldn't finish and her body shook as she cried tearlessly into my chest.

"Shhh. We're okay, baby. Everyone is okay. We're all together now and safe."

"You won't leave again?" She looked up again, fear in her eyes.

"No. Not ever." I smiled at her. "I'm stuck with you like glue." I hoped it would make her laugh and it did. Her laughter filled the room, and it seemed to relax the tension.

"Edward, I'm sorry about your piano," I said to him. He wrapped his arms around me.

"Bella, it's just a piano. I was much more worried about the person who did the damage." He kissed the top of my head.

Emmett and Rose came back inside again. "Hey guys. Do any of you know how Carlisle and I started to move again?" he asked, confused. We all looked at each other, just as confused.

"I just wanted you all to be safe," Allie said quietly.

I looked down at her. "What?"

"I wanted you all to be safe," she repeated. "I just thought, please keep them safe. Don't let them get hurt. Then I felt something. It was like something was coming from the tips of my fingers and it spread all around you, that's when Uncle Emmett and Grandpa started moving again."

"You did that?" Edward asked, sounding surprised yet proud.

She nodded her head slowly. I gathered her up into my arms. "It's all thanks to you, my precious little angel. You're the reason we're all alive right now."

Everyone came over and hugged our little Allie, our hero.

"Don't we have quite the talented family," Carlisle mused.

Yes, don't we indeed. I stood there with my family.

Safe and sound.

A/n Okay so there we have it. Everything is good. Allie discovered a power. Annabelle and Co. have had their assess kicked.

I really hoped you enjoyed reading this even if it was pretty sucky near the end. Oh just so you know I've never written a fight scene before so sorry if it's crap. I tried reading some others FF that had a lot of fighting to help inspire me but it didn't really work out. lol

Anywho I want to thank everyone who as reviewed, who has put this on alerts, favourite stories etc. I really appreciate it.

I would also like to mention my two new one shots. One is called Emmett Will You Be My Sleigh? - it is a bit of fun with Bella and The Cullens in the snow. Totally OOC.

The other is In My Dreams - it's inspired by Snow Patrol's song Crack the Shutters. It's very sweet but has an unexpected ending.

I'm also working on a new story. I was listening to Concrete Angel by Martina McBride and the idea popped into my head. Bella is being abused by her mother's fiancee and lives in California. One day she gets seriously beaten and has to be transferred to Forks hospital so Carlisle can operate on her because he's an expert in whatever area. Renee and Charlie are her aunt and uncle. I've given a better idea of what it's about in my other story If You Could See Me Now. it will be alot darker than anything I've ever written.

Anyway review if you want. =]

All the best.

Helen.
