Here Comes Trouble
Damon's Point of View
The moment Stefan told us Bella was being chased by this Victoria I was on the phone with the airlines, but when he said her ex was back I called in a favor and I told everyone we had one hour before we left. The plane ride was tense to say the least; Stefan kept bugging me about my temper and behaving. I tried my best to ignore him, but he was unavoidable.
"Damon, we are visitors and we can't just act like we run the town." he said.
"Little brother I know what I have to do; I must be a good little boy and not fight with her ex. I pledge to behave myself around the little puppies and the sparkly vampires. I swear on my life; well what life I possess." I said and grinned. He rolled his eyes and finally I was given silence. We got to Bella's house around 6 a.m., but had to wait until they woke up Bella. When she came down she looked more pale than usual and had circles under her eyes.
"Hey guys please come in." she said and yawned.
I saw her stumble on the stairs and immediately I was at her side holding her. I looked down at her, "Well Bella I have been here exactly thirty seconds and already you need my catching services." I smiled.
She laughed, "Yea well I had a tiring night. Go ahead and sit down I'm going to go get dressed."
She went upstairs and while she was doing that the girls told us all that had happened in the last 24 hours. It was quite hard to contain my anger at hearing what Bella had gone through, but I managed. When Bella came back down she looked a little more refreshed and awake. I stood as she came into the room and everyone held back their laughter.
"Have you told them everything?" she asked.
"Yep they know all of it." Elena replied.
Before anything else was said her house phone rang and she left to answer it. While she was in the kitchen the front door rang; Elena went to answer it.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" we heard her scream.
We ran to the front door and saw a small pixie looking girl and a man I thought was dead; I decided to have some fun.
"Major Jasper Whitlock." I said amused
He stared at me in shock, "Captain Damon Salvatore."
"Well I thought you would be dead by now. Are you one of the sparkly vamps?" I asked.
"Jasper who is that?" the pixie asked.
"Alice this is Damon he was my superior during the war, but than went missing. I guess we know what happened now." he said.
"Yes well enough about the past; why are you here Jasper?" I asked.
The pixie spoke up, "We came to talk to Bella."
It clicked in my head, "You are the sister of the one that left her." I turned to Jasper, "Major Whitlock I expected you to keep better company than a coward who leaves a young girl broken in the woods."
"You were never much better Captain as I recall; you were a womanizer and a pain in the ass who hated listening to what was best for everyone. You always were more concerned with yourself." he said to me with cold eyes.
Bella came in, "Alice, Jasper, what are you doing here?"
"The pack and us want to talk to you about Victoria; we want to help Bella." Alice said.
"Help; you want to help. Let me ask you; where were you 4 months ago when I needed help hmm? Do you have any idea the hell you put me through or do you even care? You know what don't answer that because I honestly don't care about your explanations or reasons." Bella spoke with such venom in her voice that it made Alice recoil. "You know what you can help because the quicker she is taken care of the quicker I can leave."
They looked so hurt, but told us where to meet them. The rest of the girls went upstairs to get dressed and I followed Bella into the kitchen.
"Do you mind if I ask who you were on the phone with?" I said.
She smiled, "It was my dad he said he wouldn't make it to dinner tonight."
We stood there in silence and I decided to ask something very personal, "Bella how did it feel seeing him and the pup again?"
She laughed, "Wow Damon I didn't take you for the serious questions type, but ok. It hurt really bad; my best friend and they only guy I have ever loved abandoned me. When I saw Edward at first my heart skipped a beat and that love had for him came back, but than the memory of him leaving hit me and I got angry. Same with Jake; they hurt me a lot."
"But you still care for them; don't you?" I asked softly.
"I would be lying if I said no. I do, but right now even though I care about them all I feel towards them right now is anger and pain. I'm not ready to forgive them." she answered.
I knew there was a possibility, but that doesn't change anything. I know they are going to fight for her and I was going to have to fight twice as hard, but I was ready for that.
"Well I guess we should get going." Bella said. She turned to me, "Hey thanks for making me say what I said. I needed to say what I feel towards them out loud."
"No problem; by the way I can't wait to meet them." I threw her a wicked grin.
Bella's Point of View
After my talk with Damon I went upstairs to my room to get grounded. I couldn't deny it; even though I desperately wanted to. I know what I had told Elena and what I had told myself, but seeing them again; it just sent a wave emotions through me. I still did love them even if I didn't want to. I really did care for Damon, but after last night I know that I can't start a new chapter until I close the ones before. The thing is I didn't know if I was ready to close those chapters. I mean I really didn't know Damon, but there was something that drew me to him; like a moth to a flame. I didn't want to hurt Damon like I had been hurt. I didn't want to give him hope when I didn't know if there was any when I couldn't even figure out what I wanted.
Elena knocked on my door, "Hey we are ready to go… What's wrong Bella?"
"Let's talk about it later; right now isn't the time or place." I said and grabbed her arm. I drove; Elena, Stefan, and Damon rode with me. When we got to the field everyone was there. I took a deep breath before I got out of the car.
Edward's Point of View
My family and were completely shocked at the person Bella had become. She seemed so cold, but what else were we to expect after I broke her like that. I was surprised to see the pack come in their human form, but they didn't come alone; Billy Black, Harry and Sue Clearwater, old Quil, and finally Sam's mate Emily. As they approached I saw what transpired last night on the reservation between the one called Paul and my Bella. I let out a growl and tried to attack him, but Emmett caught me.
"Edward chill out; what is wrong?" he said to me.
"He attacked Bella and tried to kill her." I said pointing to Paul.
"I didn't try to kill her I wanted to scare her." he hissed at me.
"Bella can handle herself now Edward." Billy told me.
I heard alike and Jasper approaching; when they arrived I asked, "Is she coming?"
"Yes she is, but her friends are as well." Jasper said. "There is something else; Damon Salvatore is here with her."
I search through Jasper's memories and saw this Damon. He had been Jasper's captain in the war. He was not a very good man; he was a womanizer and a liar who was only concerned with furthering his own agenda and would do whatever it took to do it. I growled.
"What is it?" Sam asked.
"The man called Damon was my superior during the civil war and he isn't at all good. There is something else; his emotions towards Bella are strong. He wants her." Jasper said and we all tensed.
"How does he want Bella?" Billy asked.
"I can't be too sure, but his emotions are full of passion and love towards her." Jasper said; I hissed and Jake growled.
I heard cars approaching and we all turned to see them arrive. Bella stepped out of the first car and waited for the others. Than I saw Damon step out of the same vehicle and come to stand by Bella. I wanted to rip him apart and burn the pieces. When they started walking over to us I noticed the rest of her group and I looked into every one of their minds. Everyone was ok except for Damon who wore a huge smirk and kept his eyes on Jake and myself. I could see from his memories Bella had told them everything, but one memory made me come unglue; when they almost kissed. My temper got the best of me and I attacked him.
Bella's Point of View
I saw Edward heading straight for Damon and I instinctively made him levitate, "Edward stop it or else." I said. He immediately relaxed, but I kept him up in the air, "Now if this is how it is going to be we are going to leave are we clear on that?" I asked. Everyone nodded and I gently put Edward down.
"So you must be the asshole who left her; looking through my head are we? Well if you want to know anything you can just ask I am not shy about anything." Damon said with a smirk.
"Damon quit trying to egg him on. If you're going to do that than you can just leave; we have enough problems as it is. I don't want to have to worry about this crap and it goes for everyone here." I said and I meant it. I knew Damon liked me, but right now I wasn't in the mood for any testosterone filled bullshit. "Now you said you wanted to help and I'm willing to listen, but I'm not promising anything." I said.
I went over to sit on a boulder, but the moment I touched it something happened. I tensed up, my eyes shut and I couldn't move.
(Vision)
"We were thinking we could work together and lure her here. According to the Cullen's there have been a ton of murders in Seattle and people have gone missing. They think she is creating an army to come for you; that's part of the reason they came back…" but Billy didn't get to finish. Vampires came out of the woods about twenty of them. They parted and there stood a young man and Victoria; a battle ensued and I saw the army winning and than everyone was captured. Victoria walked over to Harry and he started having a heart attack and she laughs.
"Now I was going to make you watch as she died, but I think I will make her watch as you all die." she said.
I saw everyone being killed.
I took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Bella what's wrong?" Bonnie asked, but it was too late. Just as I saw the army came through and than parted. Just like what I had seen there was Victoria and the young man.
"Hello Bella now it's your turn." she said and they army started running.
I wasn't going to let this happen; I felt my anger rise and than I saw flames. I focused on the army and made the flames engulf them. I could hear the army screaming, but I didn't let the flames die down. I kept all my focus on the flames and when the army was dead I let the flames die. I saw Victoria just standing there in shock, "I'm not some pathetic little human Victoria." I said. Again I let my anger rise and with it appeared flames; I was going to taunt her like she had me in the vision. I let them dance around her keeping her from escaping; in the distance I heard someone screaming for me to stop, but I didn't listen.
Elena's Point of View
I knew Bella was having a vision because she acted the same way Bonnie did. When she was finished Bonnie asked what was wrong, but she never got an answer. We saw a bunch of vampires come out of the woods and when they parted I knew the red headed one was Victoria.
"Hello Bella now it's your turn." she said to Bella.
I turned to Bella and I saw her shaking she was so angry than I saw flames appear. Bella's eyes were different; here iris' were black and I could see flames in them. The next thing I knew the vampires were on fire and when they were ash the flames went away, but the look in Bella's eyes didn't.
"I'm not some pathetic little human Victoria." Bella said.
Than the flames appeared again, but this time they were playing with Victoria.
"BELLA STOP IT! STOP IT NOW!" Bonnie screamed, but Bella wasn't listening.
I saw blood coming out of her nose, "Stefan something is wrong we have to stop her." he nodded, but when he tried to get close she threw him back. Bella was angry; probably because of her vision. I looked around and saw everyone just watching her, wondering how she was doing it.
"Elena if we don't stop her she will kill herself. She's not used to that much power; her body can't handle the stress of it. We have to stop her." Bonnie told me.
We walked up to her and each put a hand on her shoulder, "Bella let it go. You're killing yourself; please let it go. Let them handle her Bella." I told her. I looked and saw the flames die down. The pack wasted no time transforming and attacked her. When she was dismembered Bonnie stepped forward and started a fire so they could burn the pieces.
"I'm so sorry." Bella said to us and than she collapsed.
A/N: So I hope you enjoyed it. Now like I said I saw Eclipse and I became inspired. Instead of having Bella just say screw Edward and Jake she is going to be conflicted between them and Damon. I thought I was just too easy and if I went in my original direction the story would end too quickly. So I hope all of you will be patient with me and I hope you like the direction I am going to go in. I can say that it will be a conflicted and emotional journey. Now since 4th of July is this weekend I have a ton of stuff to do so I might not be able to update as quick as normal. Please be patient and if I don't update until after the 4th well to all my U.S. readers have a safe and happy 4th of July.
