《Lilliana Swan》Chapter 32
Advertisement
Most of us were outside Edward was trying to help Bella with her shield.
"Aro will want us incapacitated before he attacks. Jane and Alec will try and take me out first because I can anticipate their moves." Edward said
"Too bad we don't all have you shield." Garrett said
"Doesn't help me fight, though." Bella said
"But you could. Shield's can will their shields to grow to cover others." I said
"What do you mean?" Bella asked
"She means shield's can shield other people." Tanya said
"Is that possible?" Bella asked
"Yes." I said
"Gifts can be developed. Over time." Carlisle said
"At first, mine was just in my palms. Now I can radiate it all over my body." Kate said
"How do you do it?" Bella asked
Bella takes Kate's hand, a little too hard.
"Tell me." Bella said
"Ow." Kate said
Kate and the other vampires try to help Bella develop her power.
"You need to visualize it. See how it moves. What color it is. Now picture it expanding. Will it to go beyond you." Kate said
Bella tries but is only manages to hold it for a second.
"I think she needs something to motivate her." Kate said
Edward steps forward.
"If we are going to cause Edward pain can I go first." I said
"No." Bella said
"It's all right, I can take it." Edward said
"He says that now." Garrett said
"Focus, Bella, or he's gonna be hurting." Emmett said
Edward puts his hand up ready to touch Kate's hand.
"Edward, I'm not ready to for this yet." Bella said
Kate touches Edward hand, sending a painful electric shock through him.
"I'm sorry. I said that I wasn't ready." Bella said
"Dude, you're not motivating her." Emmett said
"Does that mean it's my turn." I said
"Yeah, I guess it's your turn." Edward said
"I'm not going to touch you I'm going to boost Kate's power." I said
"Oh god." Emmett said
I touched Kate's arm.
"I can feel it." Kate said
Bella tries again to use her power and Kate touches Edward, sending another electric shock through his body making Edward scream in pain and fall to his knees.
"Kate." Bella yelled
"You seem to lack incentive. Shall I go see if Renesmee's awake?" Kate asked
"Are you crazy?" Bella asked
"All right. This one's on full power. Plus what Lilly added." Kate said
As Kate is about to touch Edward, Bella manages to bring up her shield and protects Edward from Kate's power when she touches him.
"It's painful, but it's bearable." Edward said
"Okay, we should go again." Bella said
"Emmett?" Edward asked
"I'm good." Emmett said
"Well it was nice watching Edward be in pain for a little bit." I said
I headed back inside. I made it up stairs and Jasper followed.
"I have a question, Lilly." Jasper asked
"Ask away." I said

"Why do you hate Edward so much?" Jasper asked
"He just acts like he is owed everything. He didn't want Bella at first, then he had her and left. He got her to marry him then he didn't want Renesmee. Now he acts like its his job to protect everyone. He is just so hard to handle. Plus it's fun watching his head spin." I said
"You are crazy you know that." Jasper said
"Yes, and you love me for it." I said
Bella, Jacob and I were in the car on our way to Charlie's.
"I'm surprised you took a break from Jedi training." Jacob said
"Well if she doesn't take Renesmee to my dad, he'll come to us." I said
"Not so great." Bella said
"I know that's what you told Edward." Jacob said
Bella doesn't reply as she realizes that Jacob and I are aware she's up to something.
"Whatever. I'm just glad to get away from all those reeking bloodsuckers." Jacob said
Both Bella and I give Jacob a disapproving look.
"I'm sorry. I know. They're the good guys. But come on, Dracula One and Two are creepy." Jacob said
"They have gotten worse with age." I said
We all laughed. We pull up to Charlie's house. Renesmee quickly gets out of the car and runs up the stairs to Charlie and Sue.
"There she is. Come here." Charlie said
Charlie catches Renesmee in his arm and spins her.
"Oh. Wow. Look at you. You've grown half a foot. Seriously. Like 6 inches." Charlie said
"Come on inside. Lunch is on the Table." Sue said
"We got a tree to decorate, huh?" Charlie said
"Ana and I have a few errands to run, guys. I'll be back soon, okay?" Bella said
Jacob gives Bella a hug. And I go and hug dad. I head back to the car. Bella drives. I don't really know where we re going I'm kind of just along for the ride. We pull up to what looks like a restaurant. We get out and head inside. Bella walks up to a host.
"We're meeting Mr. Jenks." Bella said
"Right this way." the Hot said
We follow the host to a table. Where a man I waiting.
"Mrs. Cullen, and..." Jenks said
"Her sister." I said
"Hi." Bella and I said
"I'm so happy you called. I always meet my private clients here. It's more comfortable than the office." Jenks said
"And it's more public." I said
Jenks smiles.
"What type of work do you do, J?" Bella asked
"Oh, you know, this and that. It's always different, which keeps it interesting." Jenks said
"Have you known Alice and Mason long?" Bella asked
"I've began working with Jasper then he introduced me to Alice and Mason. I've been working with them for more than 20 years. And my late partner knew Jasper 15 years before that. He is, uh, unusually well-preserved." Jenks said
"Yes, he is." I said

Bella laughed a little bit.
"I trust that Mr. Mason and Mrs. is enjoying his vacation." Jenks said
"He didn't tell you where they were going, did he?" Bella asked
"No, no, no, he just mentioned that he was leaving when they came by to place his order." Jenks said
"I assume that his order is ready?" Bella asked
"Of course. I've never been late with a delivery." Jenks said
Jenks slides an envelope towards Bella, she opens the envelope to find forged passports and documents for Renesmee and Jacob.
"There a problem?" Jenks asked
"No. My husband and I thought that we'd all be traveling together." Bella said.
"Jasper said only two were traveling. His instructions were very clear." Jenks said
Bella is clearly disappointed outs the passports and documents back into the envelope.
"It's my mistake. Apparently, that's not going to happen." Bella said
We say our goodbyes and head back to the car. The car ride home was silent. Picking Renesmee and Jacob was awkward and when we got back to the Cullen house, it was still kind wired. The next few days passed. I was with Bella she was writing a letter for Renesmee.
As she finished Alistair walked into the room.
"It's a romantic notion, isn't it? That a righteous few can defy a great evil. I must admit, you even had me believing. For a moment. Well, good luck." Alistair said
Alistair turns and starts walking out.
"You're gonna need it. Cheers." Alistair said
He walks out.
We spent Christmas at Charlie's house. Bella and I watch the snow outside with worry.
"The snow is sticking." Bella said
"We still have today." I said
We turn and see Sue helping Charlie clear up the kitchen.
"I'm so glad Charlie found somebody to take care of him." Bella said
"Don't talk as if you are giving up. Because no one's giving up here." I said
Dad walks into the room.
"All right. Present time. Let's go. Seth, Leah, stop eating. Jake, you start. Get it going." Charlie said
We head into the living room. Jacob passes a present to Renesmee.
"What did you get me?" Seth asked
"I'm not giving you anything." Leah said
"Hey. No, come on, what did you get me?" Seth asked
"Well, Dad, we didn't have time to wrap yours, but here it is." Bella said
Bella hands Dad a piece of paper.
"It's a 5-day fishing trip to Fraser River. It's for you and Sue." Bella said
"You leave tomorrow." I said
"Wow, that's really nice. Thank you. Tomorrow? I can't leave tomorrow." Charlie said
"I made arrangements for you at work." Sue said
"Sneaky. And extravagant." Charlie said
"And non-refundable." I said
"You two trying to get rid of me?" Dad asked
Bella and I go quite, thinking he might have figured out something is wrong.
"Because it's working. Fraser River. That means we'll be chasing Cutthroat." Dad said
"We might even hook a Rainbow or some Bulls." Sue said
"Woman knows her trout." Dad said
Renesmee has finished opening the present that Jacob gave her.
"Hey, beautiful. Let me see." Bella said
Renesmee shows her a bracelet.
"Did Jacob make this for you? Wanna put it on?" Bella asked
Bell puts the bracelet on Renesmee's wrist.
"It's so pretty." Renesmee said
"It is really pretty." Bella said
After we leave Charlie's we head to the Cullen home, then from there we head to the woods. We meet up with the wolves and set up camp. Jacob brings some wood, and Benjamin uses his powers to produce fire to start the fire.
"That's what I'm talkin' about/ a little pre-battle bonfire. Telling war stories." Jacob said
Jacob sits next to Benjamin and looks across the fire and sees other vampires standing.
"Or just standing there like fricken' statues." Jacob said
"Jacob." I said
Garrett spins in and sits next to them by the fire.
"Name any American battle. I was there." Garrett said
"Little Bighorn." Jacob said
"I cam this close to biting Custer." Garrett said
"But I got to him first." I said
"That you did. Lilith." Garrett said
"Why do people call you Lilith?" Jacob asked
The entire camp grew silent. Jasper was by myside in a instant.
"Wow it got quite fast. Was it some thing I said?" Jacob asked
"No, Jacob. Some vampires are more special than others." I said
"They have gifts." Jacob said
"Right. But then there are vampires that have a person inside of them. That person comes to the surface when the vampire is in extreme danger, or the vampire needs a break from life. They have a name, Lilliana is my name, most people call me Ana, Jasper calls me Lilly, and my inner demon goes by Lilith." I said
"And she is a scary." Garrett said
"I'm not that bad." I said
"One word... Pompeii." Emily said
"Your lying right." Jacob said
"Sadly, no. I don't handle death well." I said
"Who died?" Jacob asked
"Aro's sister." Emily said
"Not for long." I said
"What?" Jasper asked
"Nothing. Let's go back to talking about Garrett." I said
Kate came over and sat down.
"Try Oleg's assault on Constantinople. He didn't win that one on his own." Kate said
Liam came over.
"If you're talking battles, you're talking the Eleven Years' War. No one does rebellion like the Irish." Liam said
"I remember that war. Fun times." I said
"You lost the Eleven Year's War." Garrett said
"Aye. But it was one hell of a rebellion." Liam said
Now we were all sitting around the camp fire.
"When we ruled, everything came to us. Prey, diplomats, favor seekers. We were on the good side of Lilith. We were in power. But we never put on white hats and called ourselves saints." Vladimir said
"We were honest about what we were." Stefan said
"I warned you two. But you were always so stubborn." I said
"We sat still for a very long time. We didn't notice we were beginning to petrify." Vladimir said
"Perhaps the Volturi did us a favor when they burned our castles." Stefan said
"We've been waiting 1,500 years to return that favor. We have been ready to do battle for ages." Vladimir said
"Hey Jasper I'll be right back." I said
I got up and headed off into the woods. I knew Emily was following me.
"So what is the plan?" Emily asked
"I'm going to bring Aro's sister back to life. Then I'm going to kill Aro. And maybe Vlad and Stefan." I said

My class [Death Knight] is just barely legal...
Ever since meeting his uncle, Arthur has pushed himself daily to achieve an arbitrary goal. He trained like nobody else did, longer than anybody else could. He neglected his personal relationships to pursue something he didn't even understand, in hindsight. When the time came for his class awakening ritual, he was ready. He was ready to receive a powerful starting class and to break free from his boring lifestyle. Well, you know what they say, "Be careful what you wish for, lest your wish be granted." Arthur was assigned the death knight class, which is just barely, technically, maybe legal. With it, he learns about what drove him to such simple minded ambition in the first place: his affinity. Now, he's faced with a dilemma: will he embrace it, or reject it? 'My class [Death Knight] is just barely legal' is a laid back story with occasional tension, that describes Arthur, a young man, exploring the world, the system and his own mental health as he pursues his ambitions. This story is the first serious fiction I ever wrote, so while criticism is definitely welcomed, keep it polite. I'm going to rewrite the first few chapters at some point, since they're not as good as my later ones, but I'm focusing on my current chapters first. I don't have time to do both yet, since I'm also in the middle of my exams. What to expect from this story: -Litrpg elements -A chaotic good aligned protagonist (that starts off as a neutral good protagonist) -(Hopefully) interesting characters. What not to expect from this story: -Grimdark elements -Harem -An enslaved protagonist. (I mention this due to the background of the mc's class) Release schedule: 1 chapter every other day, 2pm European time (14:00) Join the discord here: https://discord.gg/YHZFB4HMHD

8 189In This New Life, My Own Fantasy Adventure Begins!
A little shut-in girl that for unknown reasons and means got transported into a fantasy world. Barely surviving her first arrival to this new world, she continued to live her life as she intended, only to experience the hardships and cruelty of the world firsthand. With a little effort and friendship along the way… she found more reasons to do more than just live her life. The more she stayed, the more she learned how problematic the world actually was. And to think that's bad enough, adding to that was the existence of a great evil that threatened the land and all its standing Kingdoms. Given the chance to fix those problems by her own hand, she took it. Her motivations for affirming this heavy task was unclear, even to herself. But one thing's for certain– she's gonna be doing a lot until she gets anywhere… do what she normally doesn't, become somebody she normally couldn't, setting off on an important journey with her newfound self worth. A journey for no absolute constructive reason. She might not be aware of it immediately… but that is her Fantasy. ------------------------- Just a few more things to note before you get started. Extra tag: Anime Yes, this is an anime-styled fiction, and it isn't meant to represent real life scenarios in grave detail. If you're familiar with anime and manga, the following mannerisms and tropes wouldn't feel too foreign. But if you feel that that isn't your cup of tea or you can't appreciate it, you can drop the read anytime you'd like.

So begins our story about Viktor and the Grimoire Phylactery of the Danse Macabre. In a world of mana and gods waging war a forgotten magic craft returns beyond its grave after humanity had turned to religion and forgotten the times before gods. May the dance of death commence.
