Hello All! This is my new Multi-chapter story! It is going to be another Poly story with Bella/Garrett/Jasper/Peter. Eventually, but it will start out Bella/Garrett so just hang in there. I do not know how fast I will be able to update, but I am shooting for at least once a week, but it will most likely be sooner because once I get started on a story especially one just getting started I am usually writing non-stop, but we will see.

Rating: M= this story with containg lemons and violence so if that is not your thing that I suggest you take a look at some of my other stories that have a T rating! No complaints on the juicy scences to come!

As always all characters belong to SM, but the plot is mine.

I love reviews and the more reviews I get the more I want to update! (Hint! Hint!) :)

Thanks in advance!

Enjoy Reading!

All of Me-

Chapter 1

The darkness was beginning to fade and all I could think was that if this was heaven it sure was fucking painful. My entire body felt like it had been hit by a truck and then left in hot boiling water. I tried to think around the pain to try and remember how I ended up like this. At first it was impossible, but then I could remember standing on top of the cliffs in La Push trying to hear the voice of Edward in my head telling me not to jump. I knew that I should have waited for Jake to come with me, but he and his pack were out trying to catch the elusive Victoria. I remember taking a deep breath before I leapt off into the choppy waters that were crashing in white capped waves against the rock cliffs. The feeling of the cold air rushing past me as I fell was electrifying and I smiled a true smile for the first time in months at finally doing something truly reckless and full of adventure. However, that all ended as I hit the water with a large splash; and was in immediate pain at the force of the impact.

I did not have the strength to swim for the surface and as I tried to stay calm all I could do was focus on the bubbles that were leaving my body too quickly. I was going to die and that was okay with me because my life was already in constant danger. I know that to some dying was something to be feared, but I had made peace with the fact that I had been living on borrowed time since Edward saved my from Tyler's van over a year ago. I had escaped the hand of fate cutting my life thread several times since then and now it was time to meet my maker for good. Just as the last scraps of breath were leaving my body I felt myself being dragged to the top of the water by someone, but based on the temperature of the arms that were holding me it was not one of the wolves that had seen my leap and had come to my rescue, but a vampire.

That was the last thing that I could remember before the darkness took over my vision due to the lack of oxygen. I didn't know where I was now, but based on the fact that I was clearly still human and not dead or being tortured I highly doubted it was Victoria. Who knows maybe she wanted to heal me first before she started to kill me, so that she could make her revenge at the Cullen's killing her mate, James, last longer? I finally gathered the courage to open my salt crusted eyes to look at my surroundings.

I was in what looked like an ordinary generic hotel room. The television on the dresser was on one of the national news channels, but other than that the room was dark. I tried to sit up, but as soon as I lifted my left shoulder I cried out in pain and fell back onto the bed.

"You shouldn't move a lot right now little one. You were injured pretty bad in that little jump you took." I deep smooth voice said from somewhere in the darkness that comprised most of the room.

"Who are you? Where am I?" I asked trying to keep the panic from showing in my voice too much, even though on the inside I was freaking the fuck out.

"My name is Garrett, and we are in a little motel on the outskirts of Seattle." This Garrett answered.

"Why do you have me here? Did Victoria send you for me or something? Are you going to kill me?" I asked in quickly trying to figure out how I was going to get out of this situation.

"I do not know a Victoria, so I guess that means that I wasn't sent by her. I am also guessing by that lovely bite mark on your wrist that you know what I am, but you have no reason to fear me little one. If I had wanted you dead I would have killed you before I dragged you out of that water by that reservation." He answered me in a kind voice that I was strangely attracted to.

"Why did you save me?" I whispered thinking that I again had cheated fate and wondering what would be the next threat to my life to come along and when.

I was shocked when the light on the table next to the bed suddenly turned on and I came face to face with the most gorgeous vampire I had ever seen in my life; and that was saying something because they all seemed to look like they belonged in a GQ magazine. He was sitting on the side of the second queen bed in the room, but even from a sitting position she could tell that he was at least over six feet tall. His build was slim, yet muscular. The way he had his shoulders led her to believe that he had been a soldier of some sort because she could see that it was the same way that Jasper had carried himself, with a quiet confidence and strength that could not be replicated but by military training. His dark brown hair stopped just short of covering his ears and the smirk that he gave me as he caught me checking him out had me about melting into the bed as a pile of goo. I was instantly attracted and drawn to this vampire; and even the deep red eyes did not strike fear in me. In fact just with one look into his eyes and I knew in my soul why he had saved me.

"I think you know why I saved you from that watery death little one?" Garrett answered me with a growing smile.

"Because I am your mate?" I asked with a slight quiver in my voice not sure if I was looking for a yes or no to my question.

"Yes." Garrett said simply, like it was no big deal.

"I'm so confused." I said back not really sure how to take this new development.

"I know, but I will tell you a little more about how we ended up here and hopefully by the end everything will make a lot more sense. Okay?" He asked and waited for me to nod before delving into his story.

"To start out I am going to tell you a little bit more about my history. I was born in 1757 in upstate New York. It was a remarkable time to be alive as the British rule of these United States was coming to an end and I was one of the first to sign up to fight against their oppression. It was during the Battle of Saratoga in 1777 that I died on the battlefield by a nomad vampire who was following behind the fighting drinking from any of the soldiers who had been shot, but were not dead yet, like myself. I had been shot in the leg and from what I can remember was close to death by blood loss when I felt my sire bite my in my neck and begin to drink. From what I can guess is that by the time he began to feed on me he was so overcome with blood lust; and with not much blood left in my body he moved on to the next dying man without making sure that I was dead or that that there was no venom left in my body. I burned there on that battlefield for the next three days and when I awoke to my new existence I was shocked to find that I was no longer human. I made it my mission to continue to help my revolutionary comrades even if I could no longer join them as a human. I killed many British soldiers and watched from the sidelines to see this country conquer its oppressors and embrace new liberties and freedoms of independence.

As the years passed I have moved throughout this country looking for the next adventure, but never being completely satisfied with this existence. I have met several other vampires in my lifetime and I had decided to come see my old friend Carlisle Cullen for a while, It had been over fifty years since I had last seen him and I was curious to see how he was fairing. However, when I entered the small town where he used to live I was drawn to the most intoxicating scent that I have ever come upon. I have always followed my instincts and something inside of me was telling me to follow this scent. It led me straight to you.

I saw you standing on the edge of those cliffs seemingly having a conversation with yourself. I was intrigued with how this strange human girl could have such a pull over me. I blame myself for how injured you are. Vampires have a tendency of getting caught in their thoughts time to time, especially when met with something life changing as finding one's mate. By the time I saw you jumping off the cliffs and into the water I was running and following you down into the waves. It took several seconds for me to find you in the water, because even with all of our advanced senses that is the one element in which in we are at a slight disadvantage. By the time I located you I could tell that you were close to death. I pulled you to the surface as fast as I could and then to dry land. You passed out before I got back to shore, but before I could assess how injured you were I was surrounded by five giant wolves. They tried to attack me, but a vampire protecting his mate is when he is at his most dangerous, so I was not worried."

"No! Did you kill any of them? They are my friends, my family?" I interrupted in a panic at the thought that one of the pack had been hurt or killed because of me.

"I did not little one. I could sense that they were trying to protect you and so I ran back into the water and swam as fast as I could while keeping you safe until I knew that I was too far for them to track. I knew that I was close to Seattle so I carried you to a motel on the outskirts of the city and got a room. I assessed your injuries and that is when I noticed the bite on your wrist and knew that you had some knowledge of my kind. I set your dislocated shoulder and cleaned the cuts that you have on your forehead and leg from hitting some of the rocks in the water. I than waited for you to wake up; which brings us to here and now I guess." Garrett finished his story with a small smile on his face.

I sat there in silence for several moments just trying to process all of the information that I had been given. I was amazed at all the strength that this vampire had to save me while I was bleeding in his arms.

"How do you know that I am your mate?" Was the first question I asked.

"Easy, a vampire is attracted only to three different scents. The first is to blood which is our food source. The second is that of our singer; which is the person whose blood calls to us so strongly that we are sent into a feeding frenzy that can take over ones mind forever as they are constantly searching the world for another drop of that elixir which they will never find. The last is that of their mates. If that person is a vampire or a human, it does no matter because the scent is not just the surface fragrance that draws them in, but the essence of their soul calling out for its other half. I knew the second that I smelled you in Forks that you were my mate and so I would have done anything in my power to save you. I know that this is a lot to take in and I am not saying that it will all be roses and rainbows, but just know that we were made for each other and now that the connection has been made it can never be severed. We are mates for eternity and I plan on turning you into one of my kind. I want you to know that even if you do not want to become a vampire I will only be alive as long as you are. If you were to die I would be consumed with grief and kill myself at the first opportunity." Garrett told me with a serious tone.

"Okay" I answered back simply.

"Okay?" Garrett questioned me with a confused look on his face.

"Yes, okay I believe you because I feel the same pull. I think it is time that I told you about my past now." I said before going on to tell him everything that had happened in my life up to this moment. When I got to the part about Edward being drawn to my blood like an addict to his most prized drug Garrett let out the most menacing growl I have ever heard.

"That little bastard! I will kill him if I ever see him again for playing mind games with my mate. You, my sweet Bella, are his singer and he tricked you into loving him so that he could stay close to your blood. He was smarter than most because he kept you alive so that he didn't have to go crazy searching for more of your blood after he had drained you." Garrett spoke in quick furious tones as he began to pace back and forth the room at vampire speed.

"I am beginning to come to realize that there was a lot about Edward Cullen that I didn't know. It is like I am waking up out of this fog and nothing makes sense. I mean I was a strong independent girl before I was drawn into the Cullen's and then it seemed like I lost me. When Jasper attacked me last September and they left me I turned into this depressed robot. I mean I know that getting dumped is hard, but I literally felt like I could not live without him or the others in my life. Why all of a sudden do I not feel like I have a huge hole in my chest anymore?" I asked him starting to get mad at not only Edward but myself for being manipulated so easily.

"It is the mating pull little one. Now that we have met any and all connections with other vampires have been severed. A mate trumps all in the vampire world. Now that we know what Edward Cullen is capable of it makes it even more important for you to join me as a vampire. Are you willing to do that my sweet or do you want to stay human?" Garrett asked me while joining me on the bed and taking my small warm hand into his large cold one.

I could feel the electrical pulse that must be associated with our mating bond course through my skin and I knew that what my decision would be. I only had one thing that I need to take care of first.

"I will join you for eternity as a vampire, but I just have something that I need to do first." I told Garrett with a smile on my face.

"And what would that be my mate?" He asked while playing with each of my fingers. The slow methodical movements were doing something to my lady parts and based on the growing smile on his face he could tell exactly what he was doing to me.

"I need to make a phone call. Do you have a phone I could use?" I asked.

He reached into his pocket and took a cell phone out a plastic bag and handed it to me.

"I always place my phone in a plastic bag because one never knows when water might need to be crossed. I am a soldier through and through, which means that I am always prepared for any situation. That is beneficial for you my dear because with our little journey here through the ocean my phone is still at your service." Garrett explained when he saw the perplexed look on my face at the phone in a bag thing.

I just shook my head at my silly mate and began to dial.

"And my I ask who exactly you are calling?" he asked kindly not concerned in least that I was trying to call in rescue or something.

"I am calling the pack. They need to know that I am okay and safe. I am sure that they are going crazy right about now with worry. Also with Victoria still sniffing around for me we all need to come up with a way to kill her and go on with our lives. I am looking forward to becoming one of the undead so that I can tear her head off of her body and watch it burn slowly." I told him with am evil smile taking over my face at all the possibilities that my future now held.

"If I didn't know you were made for me before I am now. We are going to have so much fun little one. I can't wait to introduce you to my friends because they are just going to love my spitfire of a mate." Garrett told me with a large smirk.

"And do these friends have names?' I asked sweetly.

"Yes, the Major and Captain of the Southern Wars Jasper and Peter Whitlock."

I truly would love to hear what you think so far and if you think I should continue or not? Please Review!
