The Arrivals Begin
Bella POV
The three of us were taking a break after constantly loving each other the past 36 hours. We heard voices coming from below us.
"Little Miss Muffin you better be dressed along with the other two. Would do that quickly you three the Uncles are going to be here shortly. By the way you frightened away the guards that arrived like yesterday." The three of us jumped up and hopped into the shower. I really do not think my Uncles would want to smell sex on the three of us. We quickly got dressed in jeans and t-shirts.
I really wanted to get him back so I encased myself in my shield and whispered to my mates what I was going to do. They were going to distract him for a minute. "Peter let's go outside we need fresh air." Jasper told him.
"Where's Bella?"
"Ah you see she is trying to get dress without our help. I think she rather dress herself to test her strength limits. Though taking off bit might be difficult." Carlisle gave me the thumbs up so I snuck up from behind and tackled his ass to the ground.
"Well gramps you are getting old couldn't sense another vampire coming from behind." I was laughing along with the others until I saw his eyes go black. He crouched and headed straight towards me. I dodged his attack easily.
"Keep your eye on the target Bells. Do not let anything distract you." I did just that and he tried again to attack this time I flipped up over him. Just when he thought he had me again I jumped on his back and threw him to the ground. "He won't give up keep focus." This time we both crouched down and took off at full speed to each other. I dodged him again and this time flipped over and landed on his back. I kissed his neck.
"You're dead."
"What the hell was that? You fought like a natural. Jasper let's go. I need my man card back." I giggled. I went and stood beside Carlisle who wrapped his arms around me. Jasper and Peter were both ready in position and when they took off they clashed into each other. Quickly they went to opposite ends of the yard and tried again this time by the looks Peter was going to play dirty. I guess I threw my shield up around Jasper and Peter flew off and hit some trees.
"Bella drop the shield I won't hurt your mate." He looked shocked. Carlisle went towards him and tried to get to him also but couldn't.
"Shit I do not know how to take it off. That was a total accident."
"What was a total accident little gone?"
"Uncle Marcus!" I went up and hugged him.
"The shield is gone she got distracted with happy things. This is interesting a physical shield"
"I see you three complete the bond. Well we need to train the three of you together. You all harness a power that is shared. Eleazar will be here shortly to explain." I looked over at my mates and saw the shock in their faces.
"What do you mean we share a power?"
"Just that. There is something there that when in a past life the power was spilt into three. Carlisle, did you ever feel like something could happen and it did? Isabella you were never a normal human girl and we all knew that. When you were a toddler you use to want things out of reach and if we didn't give it the next thing we knew you had it. You grew out of it before your memories started. Then your shield developed when you turned nine."
"Alright patience is a virtue blah blah. Where is Uncle Aro?"
"He is having a heart to heart with your father. Don't roll your eyes. We have your mom and aunts sitting on Belle Isle so they are safe."
"Okay good." I was starting to walk away when I saw Peter by himself again. This time I think he was prepared and flipped me over. When he did this I grabbed onto his arm and felt metal screeching. "Oh shit." I threw the arm at Charlotte and ran.
Jasper and Carlisle followed me laughing their asses off. I caught a scent I wasn't familiar with and stopped. Whoever the scent belonged to was not too far away. A woman appeared out of nowhere with strawberry blond hair. "Hey Jasper and Carlisle how you guys doing?"
"Fine but why aren't you with the rest of your coven Tanya?" I started to growl and felt Jasper and Carlisle trying to calm me. What the hell I felt calming waves from the both of them. "Damn Tanya you know better not to intrude on a newborn."
"She is a newborn. What are those marks on your neck Carlisle and Jasper?" This bitch has a death wish.
"Actually those marks on their necks are mating marks. Jasper carries mine and Carlisle's. You can figure out the rest. Don't piss me off Tanya my family might respect you but do not cross me when it comes to my mates."
"Who the hell do you think you are, little girl?" I smelt daddy and Aro. I heard chuckling from somewhere.
Daddy was the one that spoke first as he joined my side. "Actually Tanya I would like you to meet my daughter Isabella Volturi Princess of Volterra. I also like to introduce you to Princes Carlisle Cullen and Jasper Whitlock. One last thing, drop the attitude before I let her go off on you."
"Sorry you majesty but you said daughter how is that possible."
"Ah so young and needing a little lesson. I would of thought Eleazar filled in your coven. Isabella here was left in care of Caius and his wife Athenadora when she was an infant. One last bit you should know is that Isabella is Caius's biological niece that is the last of his mortal bloodline. Do you know who Peter Whitlock is?" She nodded her head. "Peter would be Isabella's biological grandfather. Which means by right, Peter and his mate Charlotte is part of the Volturi? That makes her my niece so do not test me. This is your last warning next step is death. I warned you centuries ago to leave mated guards alone did you listen." I knew he was pissed off at her and in a way she deserved it.
"I am sorry I will head to the house."
"One last thing Tanya we are all mated here try anything I will not show mercy." She ran off and once out of ear shot I spoke up.
"So you two decide to follow our scents. I am happy to see you both what is so important to come find us."
"Bells we did so we could see you and because your grandfather was complaining you had beaten him fighting. He mentioned you tore his arm off."
"Well I did and he flipped me over and I grabbed his arm and flew over with his arm in my hands." Daddy and Uncle Aro were chuckling. "Uncle Aro is Tanya always like that?"
"That she is dear. You have heard of the succubus myth she is the reason for it along with her two sisters."
"Are you kidding me right? That is there powers to seduce men that is just plain wrong." I giggled and really thought about why everyone was coming in earlier than expected. I knew Daddy and I need to talk alone about everything that has happened with my mating. "Carlisle and Jasper, why don't you two go back to the house with Uncle Aro? It is time I talk to my father. I will be fine alright we shouldn't be too long." They both nodded and kissed me good bye.
Caius POV
When we smelt another vampire besides those three I knew we had to approach safely. Then I heard her nasally voice and was amused at the situation. I had come to grips with her having two mates and in all honesty thought their mating was too soon. We have been warned by a myth about a powerful set of mates that could share their powers between them. Carlisle from what I knew was not gifted. The myth mentioned a powerless mate in the three that would gain a power upon mating.
"Alright Daddy, were you upset with me for claiming my mates and vice versa."
"No sweetie just trying to wrap my mind around the fact though you are 14 in human years and now you are much older due to your aging. Trust me I got an earful from your Uncles to let it go because in reality you always were older than that. They made me see if even if you were born half vampire your aging process would have stopped aging seven years ago. They also mentioned the whole immortal children thing too if you didn't age we would have had to kill you. You know the stories and the laws sweetie. Trust me there are times we need to go back over those laws. I need to tell you one last thing about Tanya. Her mother was the one that made us create that law. She was creating immortal children and causing all types of trouble over in Russia. We had destroyed the children and her. Tanya holds anger towards us for destroying her biological mother. Eleazar and Carmen joined them when they needed it. They still grieve but with those two there it gives them comfort." I ran my fingers over both of her mating marks. It all seemed all too real now and I can honestly see how happy they both made her. That is all I wanted was her to be happy with her life.
"I love you too and I am happy. They both made me so happy and proud to call them my mates. How is mama taking it?"
"She says she loves you very much and as long as you're happy she is happy for you." Isabella threw herself at me and pulled me into a crushing hug. "Umm Bells crushing me." She giggled and loosened her hold.
"Sorry still getting a hang of my strength." Something became off after she said that. Not again please. Shit. She screamed bloody murder and collapsed. I had two pissed off mates looking at me when I was holding her in my arms on the forest floor.
"I do not know what happened. She hugged me and then collapsed."
"Caius there is movement behind her eyes. I believe she is getting visions. Eleazar can you get a read on her powers?"
"Actually now I can of course the shields. She also has what Aro does and now I am guessing something like Alice, though her power like Aro's works both ways. I want to say she is a sponge and gains powers from others. Carlisle, when in the hell can you move shit with you mind?" I look dumbstruck the damn myth was true.
"Not sure why?"
"Have you ever heard of the Un potere di tre anima myth? If it is true you recently mated to your other mates. Am I right and who are they?"
"Yes I have heard of that myth. I read about it when I was with the Volterra. Smell me and you tell me Eleazar." Eleazar did just that and looked shocked.
"You mean Isabella here and Jasper, are your mates?"
"Exactly after everything that has happened the past few months my heart finally let me recognize them. Esme had something to do with that. Let's get her back to the house and let her feed." Carlisle came over and picked her up and cradled him in his arms to the house.
Things are just getting interesting and I believe Jasper needs to start the training shortly.
I heard Isabella starting to regain consciousness. "We have six weeks before they head here. We need to prepare. We will win and they will lose everyone."
Jasper POV
Well shit she can she visions like Alice. Maria and her minions are going down. "Isabella, are you alright honey?" I was checking her over in front of everyone along with Carlisle.
"I am perfectly fine now thanking you very much. I do need to feed so one of you gets me something." I actually felt embarrassment coming off her when we were checking her. I left Carlisle there and went into the storage room and grab whatever was in the front. I found out we could microwave the bags which was a lot neater than pouring into cups.
A minute later I was in front of Isabella biting off the seal for her. "Thanks, cowboy."
"Alright here's the plan we need to start training tomorrow. This way everyone is present and I will not repeat myself. Maria is a sadistic woman who wants power at any cost. From what we learned a few days ago Esme has joined her ranks and probable telling them where to find us. Currently this land on all borders smells like wet dog due to the shape shifters running patrol. This will confuse the newborns if they do try to come here which I doubt highly. Esme never knew of this place. The old Cullen home has been burned to ash so there is nothing they can do. Peter and Charlotte you will help with the training. Isabella we will need you to practice your shield and I believe Kate can help with that along with Garrett. Garrett you were with Maria also at some point so your help will be needed to. Lastly James, Victoria, and Laurent I want you three to meet up with Jacob in a week to see the camp and get an estimate of how many she has. The three of you have the best way to avoid being caught. Irina, don't get pissy because Laurent is leaving. I would send you but you will do better here. Our goal is to keep everyone alive. One last thing do not hunt we have enough in storage to feed all of us for six months."
"Jasper, what about me fighting along with the others?" I looked at my mate and in reality she did not need much training she was a natural.
"Hon' you are a natural fighter after what we witnessed with Peter earlier. I would like to hone you skills to know how to take out a newborn. Why don't we relax for now and meet outside in the clearing at daybreak." Many took off to rooms scattered around the house and others went down into the game room. "Carlisle and Isabella let's head up to our room."
I was a nervous wreck trying to come up with a plan to keep all of us safe. I just hope there were not too many gifted vampires on her side. In about 10 hours we will see where we stand on fighting skills.
Esme POV
Michael's change was successful and his power was basically useless. Maria told me we will still use him in our fight against everyone. We were to ambush them in six weeks according to the seer she made. The meeting place was in Washington State where we use to play baseball at. I was in charge of getting Michael trained correctly in that time. Why in the fuck would a vampire be able to make plants grow? There is enough time being wasted and fuck this mating thing with Michael. I cut of his sense he was my mate.
The best thing was I could still fuck him without the attachment. I wonder if Alice figured everything out by now. If not it is their loss of lives. Maria had destroyed about 15 newborns and now we are down to 20 again. We can't keep making them without the Volturi coming in and wiping us out. It was bad enough we nearly got caught up in Boston. Times are different from nearly 160 years ago. They notice when people come up missing and with technology they can find them. Maria I swear needs to keep up on the times. I still believe with 8 of them versus 22 of us they will not make it out alive.
A/N: It is a shorter than my normal chapters. I am going to post another chapter tomorrow or Friday. The whole James, Victoria, and Laurent backstory is they once served under Jasper and he set them free. Caius is a bit of a loose nut about not going all overprotective Father with Isabella. I blame Aro, Marcus, and their wives for it. Out takes will start soon in a separate story. So far there are two that are done sort of they are both in rough forms atm.
