Chapter Nine: Fight for Freedom

Harry stared unblinkingly at Aro. The Volturi Leader stood directly in front of him a yard away. Slightly behind him to the left was Jane and Alec, and to the right, Felix and Demetri. Harry turned his head to quickly assess where the other guard members were. It was quite a gathering. To the sides and behind him was Santiago, Demetri, the newest member, Nakita and several other guards that Harry never really spoke to.

He made eye contact with Demetri briefly before turning from Demetri's look of betrayal back to Aro.

"What do you want?" Harry finally snarled.

Aro looked at him in amusement before repeating, "Did you really think I would let you escape?" He smiled a little.

Harry frowned.

"I see that you do not understand," Aro said, sighing. "I've known about your escape plan for awhile now. You've been very naughty haven't you?" he shook his head as if admonishing a little kid.

"Dammit," Harry swore under his breath. All the vampires in the gathering heard him. He could see smirks on some of their faces as Aro was speaking. They were taking quite the joy from his telling off.

Aro glanced at his guard, before turning his eyes back on Harry. "Were you under the impression that you could block your mind from my ability? Did you think so highly of your occulmency skill?"

Suddenly, Harry was taken back to the moment Aro was talking about. It was the moment that they touched accidently. Harry had hoped that he was able to block his mind off in time, but it seemed that it wasn't the case. That meant Aro knew of his escape plans all along, Harry suddenly realised. But why, then, did he still allow him to escape?

"I felt you try to block your mind, but the feeble attempt was no match for my ability. I knew then what you were planning to do. You've been planning a long time, haven't you my dear Harry," Aro said, disappointment seeping into his tone.

"If you knew what I was planning, then why didn't you stop me from escaping? Why did you just let me go?" Harry questioned with a hint of anger.

Aro paused for a moment, glancing at Jane who seemed extremely impatient. Harry knew she was itching to use her ability. Harry's gaze turned back to Aro as he started speaking again.

"I let you escape for one simple reason," Aro began. "That is, to show you that no matter if you escape, we would always… always have the capabilities to track you. Put quite simply, I've taught you a very valuable lesson."

"Which is?"

"We can track you down if you escape relentlessly and without mercy. Hopefully you have learned your lesson and we do not have a repeat performance. I will not be so lenient next time."

"So you only let me escape just so you can dissuade me from any more escape attempts?" Harry was confused.

"Exactly," Aro confirmed. "I had high hopes for you. I knew you were keeping back the extent of your power. That could only mean you were not planning to stay very long with us. The little touch confirmed the thoughts. So I had to show you that we plan on keeping you, regardless of how far your try to run. But if we cannot have you…" he trailed off in warning.

"I don't want to be apart of it," Harry stated vehemently.

"But you are. And you have been ever since you were turned. You have participated in our activities, like any other member of the Guard. In return, I only required your upmost loyalty."

"You do not have my loyalty!" Harry stated with force.

Aro shook his head, in disappointment. "Have we not given you a place to stay, a family?" he seemed almost fatherly as he said it. Harry snorted as he thought this.

"You're not my family," Harry said with despise. "All I wanted since I've come here was to be free of you!"

"Can't you see that all we are about, what we want to do, is bring order to the vampire world? Otherwise it would bring chaos… think about it, Harry. Lots of innocent humans would die without the order we bring. Those that are left would be living in fear, until they, too, are fed upon."

Harry scoffed. "I've heard that all before. It's all propaganda. I've seen who you really are, Aro. You are a collector. You just like to collect vampires with powerful, useful abilities just so you can be dictator. And that's what you are – vampires fear you."

Aro laughed. "And do you fear me, little vampire?"

"No," Harry answered determinedly. If he had to face Voldemort, then he could definitely face Aro and the Volturi.

"I can see that you are going to be stubborn about this. We will have to take you home by force."

"That is not my home," Harry said through gritted teeth.

Aro sighed. "You will change your mind eventually. Maybe half a century would do it," he added, as if to himself. Then, he turned to Alec. "Okay, Alec," he gave the silent order.

Immediately, a hazy mist started to creep in on Harry. Having been witness to Alec's abilities before, he knew that he had to get out of there and leave before the mist reached him.

Harry had to summon up a diversion so he could apparate away to safety. There was no time like the present to attempt the technique. He had exhausted all other options. He just hoped that he wouldn't get splinched.

Silently, Harry brought down the tree behind Alec with a discreet flick of his hand. Once it had landed with a thud and the vampires turned to discover the source of the noise he muttered a Incendio spell and set the tree alight. The gathered vampires jumped away from the red-orange flames before they started burning.

Thinking that the guards were sufficiently distracted with a quick glance around the area, Harry decided to now try his hand at apparating.

But, just as he did so he felt two distinct sets of arms wrap around his waist and shoulders and they, too, apparated with him. It was unanticipated side-along apparition. The motion distracted him and he startled slightly. The sudden lack of concentration caused him to lose control.

Harry and his two unexpected passengers lurched out of the apparition. The two side-alongs', who Harry now saw was Felix and Santiago, stumbled back in surprise. They were most likely reeling from the affects of apparition. It took some getting used to, especially for a vampire, since their senses are heightened, as the feelings of being pushed through a rubber tube were magnified.

"Bloody hell," Harry gasped. In anger he continued, "You are idiots! Do you know what could have happened? What if we got splinched?"

They both look confused. It escaped his mind for a second that these vampires hadn't been around wizards for very long, much less apparated with a wizard-vampire before. Harry took the opportunity to look and see where they ended up.

Not very far, Harry observed closely. The area they arrived to had the same familiar grasslands and the same types of trees of the National Park that Harry lived in for the past few weeks. It seemed they had only made it to the edge of the Park. Harry sighed, frustrated. He hoped it would have been further away then that. Aro and the rest of the guards would be here any minute.

Hopefully the second try would be better then the first, Harry thought, as he pictured the destination in mind with pristine accuracy, ready for his second attempt at apparating.

But, his plans where cut short when he saw, out of the corner of his eye, a shadow closing in on his right. Felix and Santiago had evidently gotten over their initial disorientation. They must have seen him concentrate and concluded he would attempt the apparition again.

Harry dodged Felix's attack, but was hit hard on the side as Santiago took advantage of Harry momentary distraction. The two collided with a loud crack that filled up the open space. Harry flinched at the thought that it must have attracted the other Volturi Guards' attention. It must have been what they were going for, Harry thought.

Harry was now on his back with Santiago hovering menacingly above him. He kicked his feet as hard as he could and pushed Santiago off him, silently enforcing it with a little magic. The guard flew off him and high into the air about twenty yards, before he came into contacted with several branches from a near by tree. They instantly broke in half, unable to compete with the force of the combined kick and spell. It caused the vampire to go straight though it. Out of the way of the tree, he kept flying, this time angling down until he eventually skidded to the ground, creating a small trench behind him.

Harry heard Santiago moan a little. Then, remembered his other opponent. He pivoted around to find Felix crouching suddenly before rapidly coming at him. It seemed to be their strategy for today. Harry evaded the attack easily and blasted the vampire away.

Santiago had caught back up with Harry in that time and started another series of attacks against him. Harry evaded the flurry. Meanwhile, Felix had recovered quickly and grabbed onto Harry's arm, twisting it around with the intention of pulling it off. They either thought they would re-assemble him back at the Volturi castle, or else they were planning to destroy him if or when Aro gave the order. Frankly, Harry didn't like either option.

Harry muttered a banishing charm and the burst of magic that resulted flung the vampires a few feet away.

Harry appeared alongside the nearest one, which happened to be Felix. He used a severing charm to disassemble the vampire's limbs as he simultaneously kept the other still.

He had finished with Felix and was about to set him alight and start on Santiago when the fastest of the reinforcements arrived.

It was clear that Aro and the other members of the guard heard the scuffle between Harry and the two vampires and had raced to their aid, as Harry had predicted. A vampire whose name Harry didn't know leapt into the fray once they saw that Felix and Demetri, their comrades, were in trouble.

Harry jumped back as three vampires continued where Felix and Santiago left off. In his peripheral vision, Harry could see other vampires helping to reassemble Felix. He had managed to dodge and disable a few of them before he felt a sudden, excruciating pain in his head. He collapsed to his knees in surprise as he fought through the phantom pain. Five vampires used his momentary distraction to their advantage. He was tackled from all sides, leaving no room to manoeuvre.

Recovering and pushing past the mental pain that Jane inflicted upon him, he was able to think clearly enough to use a blasting curse. The vampires soared off him, but a blasting hex evidently wasn't powerful enough on a vampire. Their skin is too hard, Harry observed. He'd have to use more powerful spells. Then, a small body collided with him, sending him to land several feet away, onto his back. Jane started attacking him physically as well as mentally. He kicked her off and rolled out of her way, flipping himself up and onto his feet.

He darted around an incoming vampire, as he muttered a quick spell to cut him in half. He swerved around another three vampires. He tried to push past the pain Jane had sadistically forced upon him. He continued running in an arc and when he got to her again, she was so frustrated and surprised that he was suddenly upon her that he was able to tackle her as hard as he could. The resulting crack! seemed to anger her even more. As he got up to his feet, he stunned her. He was wary of the other approaching reinforcement of vampires, so severed her limbs before they arrived.

He danced around the arms that came out what seemed to be all directions. Then he saw the mist spreading across the field, towards him.

Aro had no doubt wanted to cut off his senses, regardless of the other vampires also caught in the sense-cutting mist.

But, he couldn't have his senses cut out, not with his freedom riding on him escaping this battle.

He cast a full-body bind spell that halted Alec right in his track. The mist disappeared soon after, which was what Harry was aiming for.

Hands suddenly came and grabbed him from behind. Harry glanced up and saw that it was Demetri. He was securely in the vampire's grasp.

"Keep still!" the tracker growled.

Harry struggled instinctively for a moment, before he resigned himself that he couldn't physically get out of the trackers arms.

The vampires had all re-gathered themselves in front of him once they had seen him firmly in Dimitri's grasp.

There was just too many vampires to effectively fight off, and especially too many super-powered ones at that. Aro had certainly collected a lot of them.

Harry needed to create a massive diversion.

And he already had an idea for one. But first, he had to get out of the tracker's hold. Harry murmured the first spell the came into his mind for this situation – the Revulsion Jinx. The shock surprised Dimitri enough to soften the hold and Harry used the opportunity to get out of the tracker's grasp.

He sprinted out of the National Park for about a mile. All the while, he glanced at the Guards regathering themselves behind him. Suddenly, without warning to the vampires behind him, he stopped and waited.

He stood patiently until all the Guards surrounded him again. But, that was what he wanted. He could see some puzzled looks on the vampire's faces and he inwardly grinned at their confusion. He wasn't sure this was going to work, but it was perhaps his best option. He didn't want any side-along's as he escaped this time.

Behind the barrier of guards, Harry could see Aro walking up casually. Slightly behind him was Nakita. She looked indifferent. They must have ordered Chelsea to bind her loyalty to the Volturi.

The Volturi leader had a wide smirk across his face. Harry was itching to wipe it off.

Perhaps my escape would do the trick, Harry thought.

"You cannot win, Harry," Aro stated assuredly. He clasped his hands in front of his chest as he spoke. "Why don't you stop this futile attempt at rebellion and come home now, with us? All can still be forgiven."

"I have no home!" Harry retorted angrily.

Aro closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, he glanced at the female vampire beside him. "Nakita –"

Harry didn't wait to see what the new order was, or what Nakita's power was. If his hasty plan was going to work, he would have to do it now.

He froze the vampires. It wouldn't work for too long, but it would have to do.

He closed his eyes in order to concentrate. He gathered his magic and focused on a singular thought. Darkness. He didn't know an exact spell for it; but he figured if the intent was there, it might work just as well.

Soon enough, Harry felt his magic start to work. Opening his eyes again, he saw that the entire area for prehaps several square miles was encased in utter darkness. It was so dark that even with a vampire's superior vision; they wouldn't be able to tell what even an inch in front of them was. It was good timing too; the immobilisation spell was beginning to wear off. Some of the simpler spells didn't seem to work as long on a vampire, compared to an ordinary human.

It worked! Harry thought, pleased.

The idea to use darkness as a means of distraction came from a mixture of Alec's power – cutting off senses – and the Weasley twins. He remembered their Instant Darkness Power. And he remembered how well the powder worked. He thought it might work in this case too, and was definitely not disappointed.

The whole area was flooded with sounds of gasps and yelps of surprise as the occupants found themselves unable to see in the absolute darkness. Vampires were so used to relying on their perfect vision that even the thought of cutting it off made them very vulnerable. It was a perfect diversion. Harry could already hear some vampires colliding into one other as they tried to recover their vision, or find their way out of the all-consuming darkness.

He used the distraction and the chaos to apparate away without any side-alongs'.

He had finally escaped.

Please Review. I'm not too sure on this chapter… I didn't want to make it too easy for Harry to escape.
