Disclaimer: I own nothing, I just like making Bella a badass!
Ares ( Jasper Whitlock) and Athena (Isabella Marie Whitlock), god and goddess of war. They reigned during the Southern Vampire Wars in Maria Santiago's army. They were siblings with unimaginable powers when they were alone, but together they were unstoppable. Ares had the power of Empathy, he could feel and manipulate emotions and had another skill that no one could explain: he can take other vampire's powers and use them for his own.. Athena had the power of Manipulation and Elements, she can call upon the elements to do her bidding, with a physical and mental shield that when matched with Ares, they both couldn't be defeated. They were inseparable for most of their lives, until the Volturi came to stop the Southern War's. To let her brother go and get on with his live, she used her secret power and erased his memory, she took his memory of her and his memory of what happened in the Southern Wars, she placed fake memories in his head so he had a backstory for who ever he found after the wars. She spoke to the Volturi and took his punishment along with hers, she was sentenced to 200 years of being in the Guard as the Brother's personal shield and main body guard.
She learned that Jasper has a good life now, with Alice Cullen, so she left him without him knowing that she was there, and was mostly content with her life without him, until she heard that the Cullen's broke the one rule that they shouldn't have. They revealed themselves to a human girl and left her with the knowledge, without changing her. Since she is Jasper's sister, she's was entrusted with the task of giving him back his memory and deal with the Coven.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 1
"Isabella." Aro mumbles from across the room, Isabella looks up.
"Yes, Master?" She flits over to him, pushing her obsidian hood back, kneeling before his throne.
"I have a mission for you my dear." His milky red eyes scan her blank face, his dull chestnut hair pushed behind his ears, his crimson cloak covered in dust.
"What is it, Master?" Her voice monotone, her eyes seemingly lifeless. Her body poised as if nonthreatening, but in reality she is the most dangerous vampire in the whole castle, and everyone knows it.
"You, Jane, Demetri, Felix, Alec and Chelsea are to go to the Cullen home in Washington State and confront them about the human girl that they let live after they told her their secret. According to our scouts in the area young Edward thinks that she is his mate and I want Chelsea to check all of the bonds that the entire coven has. If she isn't his mate like I suspect, kill her. If any of the Cullen's fight you, kill them as well. Check Jasper's involvement, if he has anything to do with keeping her alive, I want you to give his memory back and have Felix kill him." His eyes gain a maniacal light and he begins to grin as her eyes fill with hate and flame.
"Felix will not be able to fight Ares." She tells him.
"That is why Alec will take all of his senses and Felix will tear him apart. He isn't Ares anymore, he has that monster trapped in a cage, like you have Athena caged." He whispers cupping her chin, his breath flowing into her face smells of soured blood and decay.
"When Ares and the Major sense that he and his family are under attack, they will take over and fight to protect them." She tells him as she stops breathing so she doesn't have to smell his rancid breath.
"When this happens you will fight him and you will win. Then you will destroy him. If anyone reports back to me that you did not follow orders I will destroy you both." Aro sneers, behind him Isabella sees Marcus and Caius looking at Aro fearfully.
"Brother, we need Isabella, she is the only thing that is keeping the Romanians from taking back their throne." Marcus cautions. Isabella stands breaking Aro's hold on her and bows to the three kings.
"I will do as requested." She turns from the brothers and heads to the common area in the castle and calls for the others. After they appear she sighs.
"Aro wants us to confront the Cullen clan. We leave in ten minutes." They nod, respecting her order and leave to pack. As she heads up to her room in the furthest wing of the castle she thinks about her life here at the castle.
When she first came to the castle Aro wasn't as insane as he is now, he cherished her gifts that she had shown him and gave her the highest rank in the Guard. Her cloak was the darkest shade of black that anyone had seen, and she was the only one who had this shade. Jane, Alec, Demetri, Felix, Renata and Chelsea had cloaks that were close to her shade because they were ranked under her, but no one else would have the same shade as she. Her punishment for being a main participant in the Southern Wars was to serve two hundred years in the Guard, and she had been here one hundred and seventy five. Even though Maria was the one that changed Isabella and Jasper, she wasn't imprisoned because she was needed to keep the other war lords in the south in check, so the wars wouldn't spread farther north, but someone needed to be punished, so Maria put Ares and Athena up because they caused the most fear.
She was the most powerful vampire on this hemisphere, and she wouldn't fight back against the Volturi because of the last thing her brother said to her before she took his memory.
"Don't fight them Isabella, hide Athena until you need her. Just take the punishment, and find Jasper when the punishment is done.I'll make sure that he understands why you took his memory. We love you Isabella." He cups her cheek, his blonde curls caked with dried blood and venom. His crimson eyes filled with sadness and pain. She hugs him tightly before she places her fingers on his temples and looks him in the eyes. "You will forget about me and Athena. You will think that Peter and Charlotte were the only ones in the Southern Wars that cared about you. You will think that they came back for you and you went with them to escape Maria. You will live your life to the fullest." Her voice gains a musical lilt as she takes his memory and he blinks. She looks to Peter and Charlotte, "I won't take your memory of me, but if I find out that you tell him about me, I will burn you to dust. They nod and she lets go if Jasper. She turns to Aro and bows. Felix walks over to her and rips off her head. "Athena is dead, spread the word to every vampire you cross." Ares didn't want her to fight them, why she has no idea, but Athena trusts him, so Isabella must as well.
"Isabella, were ready." Jane's voice pulls her out of her memory and she looks around to see that she had packed a bag and was ready as well.
"Let's go." She and the others pile into a blacked out SUV and head to their personal airstrip and board the private jet for the eleven hour flight to Seattle.
"Isabella, may I ask you something?" Alec mumbles from his seat across from her. The entire jet's seating was like two couches set across from one another. She, Demetri and Jane sat on one, and Alec, Felix and Chelsea sat on the other. She watches him for a moment, everyone is terrified that she will snap soon and decimate everyone, but they don't understand that she doesn't want everyone scared of her, she has had enough of that in the Wars.
"I can smell your fear," She looks at all of them somberly, "I won't hurt you. All of you are terrified of me and my powers because of the Wars, but I won't hurt you. I consider you part of my coven. We've always been the ones that are sent on the more important and dangerous missions, and it's always us, except Chelsea." She looks to the redheaded vampiress and shrugs. "You have reason to fear me, since you aren't able to break my bonds to my family." She turns back to the others.
"Yes, Alec, you can ask me anything, I have nothing to hide." She leans back in her seat as their scent of fear dissipates slowly.
"Why did you take Ares memories away?" He watches her closely, as everyone else tenses at the mention of her brother's monster.
"I didn't take Ares memory away, I took Jaspers. There is a difference between the two. Jasper is the caring, gentle, loving older brother that took care of me when Mama got sick and the war was beginning. Ares is the more vicious, uncaring alter ego that my brother's mind created to keep from breaking himself. Ares is the god of war, the Major is the one who ran the army alongside my alter ego Corporal. If Jasper knows who I am and that I took his punishment for being a large part of the Southern Wars, it would kill him." Alec nods and crosses his legs.
"Explain how you became a vampire and how you got into the Southern Wars and how you created your alter egos." Jane murmured from beside her.
"Mama had just died from pneumonia, we were too poor to buy the medication that she needed to live, when Jasper up and joins the Confederate Army without telling Daddy, me or our oldest brother Clayton. It wasn't three days that our Mama had been in the ground when he left. He left letters for all of us, telling us that we needed to take care of the family farm and that we needed to take care of one another, and I followed his wants for the first few month when there wasn't much fighting going on, but then he didn't come back for a few months and I got worried. See, I was the only female born into the Whitlock family for generations, so to my daddy and Clay, I was to be protected from the knowings of war. One night after we got a letter saying that his Battalion was evacuating cities around us, I packed a bag, took some of his clothes, and snagged my stallion Zeus and took of to the closest town, Galveston. I met Maria and her sisters before I got to the town, she must have seen something in me that made her think that I would be good for her army. I remember she launched herself at me, pulling me off my horse and biting my neck. I remember screaming because of the pain for maybe a moment before I silenced myself, when I awoke two days later I saw Jasper beside me writhing in pain. My change was shorter than most, but I had no idea what I was or why I was so thirsty, that was when I smelt the most delicious thing and took off after it." She takes a breath and shifts to to get comfortable.
"When I took my first steps out of the tent that had been thrown over us I saw the camp. Maria had moved us to Mexico, some desolate abandoned town and you could tell that vampires had been living here for a long time. There was dried blood on every building, pyres going at all times. I could hear the fighting and mating that was going on around me as I tore into the first human that I found, not understanding why I was drinking this person's blood, until Maria appeared. She tore the human from me, explained what I was and had her two commanding officers at the time tear me apart and put me back together again over and over to see if I would be able to defend myself. I beat them to hell and back after the first week of them beating me. In the first month or so, Maria kept Jasper and I separate from one another, she had no idea that he and I were related. One day I ripped her two commanding officers apart and threw them into a pyre and she smiled at me. It was one of the creepiest things I had ever seen. She took me with her to a barn on the other side of the town, it was full of newborns that were being trained. Many were being ripped apart by their older counterparts because they had no idea what to do. She looked me in the eye and told me that I had to train these newborns or I would be torn apart and thrown into the pyre. I knew that she would, so I got to work and forgot that Jasper was even in the same town as I was.
"A few weeks go by and it's time for our first battle, I had trained these newborns and killed the weak ones, which slowly began my transition into Corporal. I knew in my head that Isabella wouldn't be able to handle all of the desolation and killing when training the newborns so Corporal was born. It wasn't until we lost the first two battles and Maria killed every newborn that survived and tore me apart, starving me, that I created Athena. I only cared about making the strongest newborns and older vampires and winning the battles. It wasn't until I heard Ares scream of pain that I remembered he was here. I dropped the three year old vampire that I was fighting and took off to find him missing a leg and an arm. I tore into the two vampires that were pinning him to the ground and stood over him roaring, daring someone to harm him. Maria looked between us and realized what she had done and instantly demanded that we be killed. As the newborns were rushing us, I grabbed Ares hand and my shields exploded from my mind and the newborns smashed into it and turned to ash because of Ares. he has another gift that many don't know about, he has his own mental shield that when paired with mine, can cause anything that wants to cause harm to whomever is in it, to turn to ash. Anyways, we went from being Isabella and Jasper Whitlock to Major and Corporal when training warriors to Ares and Athena when in war. When the Brother's showed up thirty years later, Ares was tired of being all about war, he wanted to leave, and them showing up gave me the chance to give him happiness. I took his punishment and his memory so he could live a life without war, killing or feeling others pain when he feeds. I knew that he wouldn't be able to handle taking orders from another person over him, so I set him free, not only of being controlled, bit of his horrible memories of what he and I had to go through together." As she finishes her story the others look at her with pity, causing her to sigh.
"Don't pity me." They nod and settle in for the rest of the flight.
"We will feed in Seattle before we run to the Cullen home. None of us will be hungry when we meet them, we want our eyes as red as possible Meet in me at the city's most northern edge in less than an hour." Isabella tells them a few hours later as they begin their descent.
"Why?" Chelsea questions, her voice scratchy even with the high lilt of vampirism, grating on Isabella's nerves.
"Having bright crimson eyes will give all of us perfect control. We will need the control because Carlisle is a doctor, he has the scent of blood almost permanently embedded in his skin. It also will but Jasper at ease when he prods our emotions. If we aren't thirsty, he won't be as thirsty, so feed until you feel like you're sloshy. Got it?" Isabella looks at Chelsea, her head tilted like she was confused. Chelsea growls and takes off once she opens the hatch on the door. Isabella waits until everyone else leaves before she begins her hunt. It was pouring rain, as usual in Washington, so she found a heroin addict in an alley after ten minutes of looking, drained him and threw him into the sea before she runs to the meeting place. Once everyone else showed up, they simultaneously fall into line, with Isabella on point, Jane and Alec to her flanks, Felix and Demetri flanking them, with Chelsea taking up the rear, and head to the Cullen home.
