Sakura's POV
The battle was upon us, but it didn't happen overnight. It had been weeks, maybe even months, since I was thrust into Victoria's newborn army. The months of fighting, training, and struggling to control my thirst had all led to this moment. I had learned to control my powers—my vectors—and had fought alongside the others in countless skirmishes. It was still hard to keep my bloodlust in check, especially when I faced humans, but the more I trained and focused, the better I became at managing it.
The newborns around me, wild and untamed, were less disciplined. I knew they were driven by their feral hunger. But I had learned to channel my strength, to redirect my thirst, and to use my ability to manipulate air currents to my advantage. I wasn't like the others. I didn't give in to the chaos.
It had been a few months since I first arrived in this army, and in that time, I'd learned much. Victoria, despite her grief-fueled rage, was not the type to train or discipline us. She relied on Riley to do that. He was the one who made sure we were ready to fight.
But I wasn't interested in chaos. I wasn't here to destroy without purpose. I was here to protect myself, to survive, and to discover the truth of what had happened to me.
And now, here I was, standing on the precipice of an even greater battle. A battle I could feel in the air, thick with tension.
This wasn't just about Victoria's vendetta anymore. It was about something far deeper.
Rosalie's POV
The months had passed, and the fight with Victoria's newborn army was inevitable. We had expected it. The Cullen family had grown accustomed to the unease in the air, the tension that had been rising as the newborns grew more unruly. Jasper had been training us in combat—carefully, quietly, but intensely—teaching us to fight with the precision and control we needed to face the newborns. But none of us could have predicted how this battle would unfold.
I had my doubts about this fight. It wasn't like any other battle I had fought before. We weren't just facing newborns; we were facing chaos. And I couldn't help but wonder about the girl—the one who had been in Victoria's army. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more to her than I understood. Something... familiar.
I had seen her in Forks.
But I hadn't known her. Not really.
Sakura's POV (Time Skip)
Time had passed, and things had only grown more complicated. I had kept my distance from Victoria and her newborns when I could, avoiding the chaos when possible. But it wasn't easy. We had all been trained to fight—to fight them. The Cullens. Their allies. Wolves, too.
And tonight, the culmination of everything we had been preparing for had arrived. We were facing the Cullens. And this time, I was ready.
The battle began suddenly, the wolves charging in from the forest, their massive forms charging at the newborns. There was chaos, as expected, but I had my own mission. I couldn't let the thirst take over. The need for blood pulsed through me with every passing second. But I focused on my vectors, redirecting my energy, using the air to deflect blows and avoid attacks from the newborns. I couldn't let myself fall to the frenzy.
Then I saw her.
Rosalie.
She was there, standing amidst the chaos, her blonde hair gleaming in the dim light, her eyes flashing molten gold. She was fighting fiercely, her movements graceful and controlled, just like I had imagined.
I felt the bond snap into place in my chest.
It was her. The one who had been waiting. The one I had always been drawn to. But she didn't know me. She didn't even recognize me at first.
My mind raced. I knew her. But how could she know me? I had never been in her world before. I was a stranger to her, yet here we were, locked in a deadly dance on the battlefield.
The moment our eyes met, I felt it. The recognition. The pull. I could sense the bond forming, snapping tight between us like an invisible string.
But she didn't know. Not yet. She was searching. Searching for the memory, searching for me in her mind. Why hadn't she seen me before?
I could see the confusion in her eyes.
She remembered me now—me, the shy girl who had sat in the back of class, never speaking to anyone. She had seen me before. But the bond... it hadn't formed when I was alive. It was only now that it became real.
I couldn't understand why it had happened this way. But I knew what I felt.
Rosalie was mine.
Rosalie's POV
The battle was fierce, unrelenting. The wolves were powerful, their claws tearing through the ranks of the newborns. The Cullens, with their swift and efficient combat training, fought alongside them, doing everything they could to stop the chaos.
But amidst the carnage, I saw her.
Sakura.
The girl who had been a part of Victoria's army—the girl I had seen from a distance in Forks High. At first, I didn't recognize her. But when our eyes met, it was like the world stopped.
It wasn't just a glance. It wasn't just a moment. It was a connection.
The bond. The mate bond.
But why hadn't I felt this before? Why hadn't I known? Why hadn't the bond formed in Forks?
I searched my mind, desperately trying to understand. I had seen her in school. I had seen her—this quiet, shy girl who never spoke to anyone. She hadn't been someone I had even noticed, not like this.
But now, in the midst of the chaos, the bond was undeniable. I felt it. And as I focused on her, I realized—she was mine.
I fought through the battle, my eyes locked on her, my mind a whirl of confusion. But I couldn't let myself be distracted. Not now.
Not with everything at stake.
Sakura's POV
The battle raged around us. The air crackled with tension, with the sounds of wolves and vampires fighting side by side. The Cullens and their allies were fighting to protect their home, their peace. But here I was, caught in the middle. The battle wasn't just about survival anymore. It was about us—about what had happened to me, about what had changed.
I could feel the bloodlust creeping back into me, my thirst rising with every passing second. But I couldn't afford to let it take control. I had to stay focused. I had to stay in control.
As I moved through the fight, I couldn't take my eyes off Rosalie. She was my mate. I knew it now. And I would do anything to protect her—even if it meant facing the chaos head-on.
This revision now includes the time skip between Sakura's arrival and the battle, as well as her growing control over her powers and her thirst. The bond with Rosalie only snaps into place when they meet eyes on the battlefield, with Rosalie struggling to recognize Sakura due to the previous soul inhabiting the body. Let me know if you'd like any further adjustments!
4o miniJe zei:the cullens will only see the newborn army in person when the fight happens but they will knwo there is a newborn army but not who is apart of it but they do know that 2 people are missing from forks high our mc and rileyChatGPT zei:ChatGPT
Thank you for the clarification! Let's adjust the chapter to reflect the fact that the Cullens only learn about the specific members of the newborn army (including Sakura) during the battle, while being aware of the army's existence and the disappearance of both Sakura and Riley from Forks High. Here's the revised version:
Chapter 4: The Crossroads of Fate
Sakura's POV
The months had passed in a blur of blood, power, and confusion. Time had become a blur after I joined Victoria's newborn army. The first few weeks were the hardest—I could hardly control my thirst, and I struggled to keep my power in check. My vectors were like an extension of myself now, a weapon that could break or kill with a simple thought. I trained with the others, learning to harness my ability, but the ferocity of the battle-driven newborns surrounding me often left me feeling like an outsider.
Victoria rarely showed herself. Instead, Riley was the one who managed the army, training us for the inevitable battle against the Cullens. There was no way to avoid the truth: we were destined for war. And the Cullens, along with the wolves, were our enemies.
I had become better at controlling my thirst, better at mastering my power. But the urge to feed—especially on humans—was still there, pulsing under my skin. I couldn't escape it. It was like an itch that only blood could scratch, but I had learned to suppress it. For the most part.
But as the time passed, I grew more and more aware of the plan forming around me. The battle was coming, and there was no avoiding it.
Rosalie's POV
It had been months since we first caught wind of the newborn army that was terrorizing the area. Victoria had been building her force, and the reports were coming in from every direction: new vampires, aggressive attacks, and most worrying of all—two missing people from Forks High.
The first of those missing people was Riley. We knew he was involved. The second was a girl. A quiet, reclusive student who, from what we'd been able to gather, had practically no social ties. It was strange, but we couldn't ignore the fact that she had disappeared around the same time as Riley.
We knew something was brewing. We had to be ready. Jasper had been preparing us for the worst, training us in combat tactics—just in case. He didn't know the specifics, but we all suspected it was only a matter of time before Victoria made her move.
Sakura's POV (Time Skip)
And now, here we were. The battle was upon us. I could feel it in the air—thick with tension. It was more than just a fight for survival. This was it. The Cullens were coming, and Victoria's newborn army had been building up for this moment. I had learned much during my time with Victoria. But there were still things I hadn't learned.
I had learned how to use my vectors to slice through air, to redirect force, to create shields, and to incapacitate enemies without killing them. But there was something else—something dangerous about me. The bloodlust. It simmered beneath the surface, threatening to burst free at any moment.
Tonight, as I stood on the front lines, I couldn't afford to let that happen. I had to stay in control.
Rosalie's POV
The night had come. We had prepared ourselves for what was to come, but I still felt uneasy. The scent of the newborns—of their wildness—was in the air. They were out there, waiting, ready for a fight. But we hadn't seen them yet.
We had known that Riley and the girl from Forks High were involved with Victoria's army, but their faces—who they were—remained a mystery. We had no idea what we were walking into.
Sakura's POV
I could hear the sounds of wolves howling in the distance. The Cullens were here. The battle was about to begin.
I had been told to keep my distance from the rest of the newborns. Riley had made it clear that I wasn't to be used as cannon fodder in this fight—though I would get my moment to join the battle, to show what I could do.
My fingers tingled with the anticipation of the fight. The air felt charged, filled with energy. The wolves were the first to charge, their massive forms darting between the trees, and soon the battle erupted.
But as I fought, I kept my eyes on one thing. Her.
Rosalie.
She was there, among the Cullens, her molten gold eyes flashing as she fought with precision. I knew it the moment I saw her. She was the one—the one who had called to me, even though I hadn't known it at the time.
But she didn't know me. Not yet.
I had been a shadow in her life. A face she had seen in the halls of Forks High, but nothing more. How could she have recognized me?
Rosalie's POV
The battle was chaos. The newborns were everywhere, their ferocity unlike anything we had seen before. We fought with everything we had, the wolves charging in alongside us. Jasper had trained us for this, but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw on the battlefield.
The girl.
The girl from Forks High. The one who had been missing for so long.
I had seen her before. I knew her face. But this time—this time, when our eyes met, something happened. It wasn't just recognition. It was more than that.
I had felt the bond snap into place in my chest. The bond I had never known could exist between us.
Sakura.
But how? Why hadn't I felt this before?
Sakura's POV
As we fought, the world seemed to slow down. My movements were precise, controlled—until my eyes locked with hers.
Rosalie.
The bond snapped into place with a force that nearly took my breath away. I knew it instantly. She was my mate. But she didn't know me, not like this. Not in this life.
Her eyes were searching, as if trying to place me. I could see the confusion there. She remembered seeing me at Forks High, but she didn't know the truth. She couldn't know the truth.
I couldn't help but be drawn to her, even as the battle raged around us.
But I had to stay focused. I had to stay in control.
Rosalie's POV
The bond was undeniable.
But why hadn't I known before? Why hadn't I felt it in Forks? Why now, in the midst of this chaos, did it snap into place like this?
I searched my mind, trying to piece it together. I had seen her in school. This girl—this Sakura. I had passed her in the halls, but she had always kept to herself. She had been the shy, quiet girl. How could I have missed this?
The battle continued around us, but my mind was racing.
This was my mate. My mate.
Sakura's POV
I couldn't explain it. But as I fought on, I knew the truth. Rosalie was mine. And I would protect her.
This battle had just become something much more important. It wasn't just about survival. It was about us. It was about protecting her.
I would fight for her.
And I would win.
