One of two one-shots I’m writing in response to the Novel Novice Twilight fanfiction challenge this August. It’s close enough that I’ve got a banner out!
sneak peak!
I was wrong. I was wrong, and now I would reap the consequences. Bitterly, I wished I had stopped to think of the plausibility of an immortal child created by one of the Cullen’s. After centuries, I still lacked trust in anyone but my sisters. In an instant of that cursed distrust I’d brought down the Volturi upon Carlisle and his coven.
I wasn’t frozen in grief and agony over them, however. It was Tanya and Kate standing proudly to the front that made it impossible to move.
Nobody had ever seen such a child — have immortal half human, how was I to know that my accusations could have been false? How could I have known that the Cullen’s would have brought so many of our kind to bear witness, and die by association? How could I have known my sisters would come and stand so firmly? I saw it in their stance that they weren’t about to flee.
After everything we had lived through, was it going to be my foolish actions that brought our destruction?
-UPDATE-
Lightning Bolt is complete, and I’ve sent it off to my beta. It’s one of the longest one-shots I’ve ever managed, at 1,597 words. I kept it strictly canon, all dialogue in the scene is also in the book.
