《》Chapter 33: Battle Plan
Advertisement
Jasper had just explained everything to the wolves, and now the humans and wolves watched as the vampires fought. "Hi, Jake." Bella greeted the brown wolf as he stood between the two girls. Genesis looked over at his tall form, giving his head a small pet. "You know, Jake, I'm sure there's a girl out there that's worth your time." Genesis spoke. Bella gave her sister a shocked look, not expecting her to talk about this now.
Jacob huffed, making Bella sigh. Maybe Genesis is right about bringing it up. "You're tough, Jacob. Handsome, young, a leader in the making." Genesis continued, glancing at Bella for her input. "We're just humans, Jake. There are more of us out there. But, we love who we love. You can't change that." Bella commented. Jacob's head went down. He knew they were right about one thing. There aren't more girls like them, but they do love who they love. They're happy. He's seen it.
Jacob lifted his head and watched as Edward and Carlisle fought. He noticed how the two would look their way, making sure the girls were still there. As if they would disappear if they looked away too long. Jacob longed for a relationship like that. He now understands how Leah feels. He wishes he could find her. The one. If he did, he'd never think about the two sisters as anything more than friends.
At the end of their fight, Carlisle emerged victorious. Mostly because of Edward getting distracted, so there's no real way to see who exactly is stronger. The wolves left and Bella met up with Jasper. Esme and Chandler walked up to Genesis, Carlisle and Edward talking in the distance. "How's Jacob?" Esme asked. Genesis sighed, "He's not happy. But, when is he ever?" She huffed. Chandler shook his head, "He's in love with you guys." He said.

Genesis shook her head, "I don't think so. I think it's beyond that. Like he loves a part of us. Like, he'd want to take those parts and mix it together to make the perfect girl." She explained. "What is he going to do? He's seen how in love the two of you are. Why's he still harping on it?" Emmett commented, walking up with Rosalie as they joined the conversation. "Maybe there's a reason. Maybe it's fate or something. That he meets her when he's near us." Genesis suggested.
"You're saying fate is going to bring him to his imprint? And his imprint is someone that's going to come because of us?" Rosalie scoffed. Genesis gave her a playful look, "You're saying you don't believe in fate?" She mused, "Kind of sounds odd coming from the one who found her soulmate in another state miles away who just happen to not be dead yet." She smirked. Rosalie's eyebrows rose as she thought about it, everyone next to them chuckling.
"She has a point." Emmett chuckled as he pulled Rosalie closer to him. She rolled her eyes, but smiled. "I guess you have a point." She agreed. "You look at things very strangely for a human, you know that?" Chandler teased, making Esme hit him playfully. "Yeah, I know. But the world doesn't have to be looked at darkly. I'd like to think that everything works out as long as you believe it will." Genesis smiled.
"In times like these, I'm glad there's someone like you to brighten these days." Carlisle spoke from behind Genesis, wrapping his arms around her waist. Genesis smiled widely and leaned back in his embrace, "With you, there's no reason not to be bright." She winked. Carlisle gave her one of his charming grins and looked back to the rest of his family, "Pardon me, but I'm going to steal her for a bit." He excused as he grabbed her hand.

"No, mom!" Emmett cried jokingly as the two walked away laughing. They walked into the woods in silence, basking in the happy moment they have with each other for they don't know when they'll get another one. Suddenly, Carlisle stopped in front of a large tree, catching Genesis by surprise as he swiftly pull her on his back and sped up the tree. Genesis laughed as they ascended, taking in the beautiful view as they went.
Carlisle finally stopped and sat them on a sturdy branch. "I don't think I'll ever not love when you do that." Genesis giggled. Carlisle chuckled and looked down, his smile slightly wavering. Genesis grew concerned and grabbed his hand, "What's wrong?" She asked. "The plan is to get you and Bella safe on the mountain. Jacob is going to carry Bella, and Seth is going to carry you up so the newborns can't detect your scents." He explained.
Genesis sighed, "So, I won't be able to see you?" She guessed. Carlisle shook his head, "No. I'm going to make sure for myself that no newborn gets their hands on you. Edward will be with you two, though." He said. Genesis rolled her eyes, "Great. Now I have to listen to Jacob and Edward fight as Bella tries and fails to get them to calm down." She complained. Carlisle chuckled, "You think it would be better if I were there? He gives me a reason to be weary of him."
"Yeah. But, you can control yourself since I calmed you down. Edward's just gonna give in to Jacob's antics. You know Jacob is just going to patronize him because he thinks he's not good enough for Bella." Genesis argued. Carlisle nodded, "Why Do you think he wouldn't do the same to me?" He questioned. "Because," Genesis smiled and pulled him closer to her to where their faces were only inches apart, "you are kind," she gives his cheek a kiss, "you show compassion," another kiss on his other cheek, "you're understanding," a kiss on his forehead, "and," she kisses his lips,
"You're perfect."

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
