A/N: As we all know the great SM owns Twilight, I just own a very twisted mind and three sets of twins. Kids that is and if you don't know a kid is a baby goat, 5 boys (bucklin's and 1 girl (doelin'). We have one more chapter that was prewritten from there out it's what I'm working on now. My updates may not be ever week after next week, but I'll do my best. Also I have a question for y'all. Once again I've gotten a pm telling me I can't write and the amount of my reviews on my stories should tell me something about that. I didn't answer this person I just deleted her email. Question is should I be asking for reviews?
Chapter 9
Bella's POV
My shoulder was on fire. It hurt more than it did when Charlie had shaken me, popping it out of place.I knew I must have done more damage swinging my sword. Em was seated in front of me, blocking my view from where Jasper was tending to Charlie.
I heard Charlie's screams as Jasper's teeth cut through his skin. The sounds of tearing flesh filled the air. He needed to place more venom into Charlie to help with the change. I knew we needed to get him out of there. How were we going to explain his disappearance?
God, I was so pissed. I wish I had the strength to swing my sword and take off Carlisle's head for this. I blame him most of all and secondly. I blame Jasper. He of all people should have believed me and trusted my judgment.
I once again heard Jasper bark some orders, this time it made me growl. I must be hanging out with too many vampires. He wanted Em and Rose to go look for Alice and Esme. He was soon seated in front of me again.
His touch was a comfort to me.
"Isabella, we both know I should have listened to you. However, right now your attitude and growlin' isn't going to get us anywhere. We'll talk later. Now, we have to plan," he said, still in his strange commanding tone.
I heard the door open and close as Em and Rose left to hunt for the two missing fuck ups. I was seething. I wanted to snap back at him for using my full name and that tone with me. I needed to get a grip on my own emotions.
Char and Peter came crashing through the front door.
"What the fuck happened?" Peter shouted.
"The bitches," was my reply.
"What's the plan Major?" Char asked.
I was now sitting up watching them discuss the plan. I heard Edward say they had a remote house up in Alaska that would work well for Charlie's change.
"Where is that damn doctor? I can't take this pain much longer," I said more to myself than anyone else.
My muscles were starting to cramp up. I needed to move around. After what happened outside, I knew I could stand and walk carefully on my own two legs.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" The Major asked as I stood.
"I can't just sit there waiting for that ass of a doctor to get here. I need to move around," I snapped back.
"For God's sake Isabella, you need to be lying down, or sitting at least before you hurt yourself some more," he yelled back.
"I don't give a damn about what you think I should be doing. You don't own me," I seethed.
I could see the hurt in his eyes at my words, but at this moment, I didn't give a damn. This was their fault for not believing me when I said something was wrong with those two and didn't trust them. I saw my sword leaning against the wall, and I slowly walked over to it, picking it up, needing to feel it.
"You got to be kidding me. She took off two heads!" I heard Peter say.
"I didn't see the first one until after it happened, but the second one, the guy who bit Charlie, it was poetry in motion. You wouldn't have thought she just got out of a cast with the way she moved. I've never seen anything more beautiful than my mate. The feral look on her face, the grace of her motions as she swung her sword...," Jasper said, eyeing me.
I thought I saw pride. The anger I was feeling toward him was about to melt away, but the door once again flew open. This time it brought in the man, I held most responsible for this mess. My thoughts earlier of taking off his head jumped back into my mind. I went to raise my sword, but my shoulder would not cooperate with me. My sword fell to the ground as I screamed out in pain.
"Damn it, Isabella. What were you trying to do?" The Major growled.
Doc was standing there in shock, thinking of what could have taken place if I hadn't been injured. Jasper was by my side almost the instant; I dropped the sword.
"Isabella I may not own you, but I'm your mate, and it's my job to keep you safe. From here on out, you will listen to what I say," he said, picking me up and carrying me back to the couch.
"That is bullshit and you know it. If it weren't for that damn storm and being pushed into the rocks, I could still take care of myself. I don't need anyone to take care of me, especially someone who doesn't trust my judgment, or my gut that has kept me alive, for years," I snapped right back.
"Darlin', I know you can handle yourself when you are well, but right now you still need to heal. I can understand your anger towards me. I fucked up by not trusting you. Please forgive me," he said, looking into my eyes, penetrating my soul.
Carlisle moved closer over to Jasper and I. I watched him closely as he kneeled in front of me.
"Bella, I'm also sorry I didn't trust your judgment where my mate and Alice were concerned. Let's get that shoulder popped back in place, so we can get a move on. That smoke might draw more attention to us," Carlisle said.
"Get it over with," I said, gritting my teeth, knowing it was going to hurt just as much as it does now, if not more.
As I felt the shoulder pop back into place, I could no longer hold off the screams that had been building inside me. I wished at that moment Jasper's gift worked on me. I had seen how it worked on others. Even my dad was able to benefit from his relief.
I took my pain pills, knowing they would be needed while being in a car for a long time. I soon noticed my dad was not screaming. I looked to see a makeshift gag in his mouth. He had what looked like one of his kitchen towels stuffed in his mouth and duct-tape wrapped around holding it in place.
I couldn't stop the laughter that erupted from me at the sight. I was still laughing when Emmett and Rose walked in carrying what looked to be a full arm and a hand.
"This is all we found," Emmett told Jasper.
"How far from the house did you find them?" Jasper questioned them.
"A mile at least, if not a little more," Rose answered this time.
Jasper didn't have a chance to ask any more questions as his phone rang. He put it on speaker as he answered it.
"Ah, Major. I see you have found my gifts to show just how serious I am about killing those that protect the assassin," I heard someone say.
"Aro, where are Esme and Alice?" He barked.
"They are on my private jet now and will be arriving here soon. They are alive, for the time being, minus the parts; you found already. I advise you to kill the assassin and bring her body to me. If you turn her, you just gave my prisoners their death sentence," he said, sounding so evil. He hung up before Jasper or anyone else could answer.
"Son, Esme is at fault here. I know I will be in eternal pain if she dies, but we have to protect Bella until she is healed, or you can change her," Carlisle said, placing his hand on Jasper's shoulder.
Hearing Carlisle say he was willing to sacrifice his mate to protect me and see me turned, just lessened my anger toward him.
"Edward, go get us a SUV, so we can transport Charlie in it," The Major ordered.
"So how are we going to explain his disappearance?" I asked.
"I will call the station, explain that you had some sort of accident, and needed to be operated on once again. I could then mention it would be best if you were taken back east so a friend of mine, who is an orthopedic surgeon, can do it. They will understand your dad will want to come. From there, we can come up with another plan as time wears on," Carlisle explained, taking out his phone to call the station.
With the pain medicine starting to take effect, I started to yawn. Jasper encouraged me to sleep, saying Edward would be back soon, and we would load up and leave. I guess I slept the rest of the night and most of the morning. It was almost noon before Edward showed up with a Lincoln Navigator.
He explained he could not steal it, but bought it once the dealership opened. This seemed to help me relax more, knowing they were honest, for the most part. Charlie was loaded into the back seat. With Jasper's help, I climbed into the passenger side in the front. Char and Peter took the middle seat, so they could keep an eye on Charlie.
The rest of the family took their own cars, and we started our little convoy to their Alaskan home. At the border, Jasper handed them all the ID's and passports. I was glad it was nighttime, and they couldn't really see Dad.
We stopped just over the border for me to use the restroom, along with grabbing a bite to eat. I asked all kinds of questions about the change, not only needing to know what was happening to Dad, but what was going to happen to me, once I allowed Jasper to change me.
I was hoping he would give me a little more time as a human before he changed me. Part of me wanted to show the Volturi just how deadly this little human really could be.
"Darlin', what are you thinking about?" Jasper asked with an amused look on his face.
"Oh, just thinking about getting a little payback on the Volturi," I said, giggling to myself.
"We will, my dear. I think you, and I are on the same page. First, we show them what you can do as a human, and then I will change you. Peter, Char, and I will train you and then all hell will break loose on them," he replied with a smirk.
Why the hell did he have to smirk? His smirk does stuff to my insides, and this body just couldn't handle those types of emotions right now. It took another full day before we reached the house out in the middle of nowhere.
I heard all three of my vampire companions' growl as we neared the house.
"What's going on?" I asked, needing to know.
"The Denali coven is here. They are like family, but their emotions say otherwise right now," Jasper responded.
"Peter and Char, I want you to stay with Bella and Charlie while I find out what their intentions are," Jasper said before anyone else spoke.
I watched as he got out along with the rest of the Cullens. I saw five vampires step out of the house, staying on the porch.
"Eleazar, why is your family in my home?" I heard Carlisle ask.
"Carlisle, we are family and we thought you might be heading this way after we got wind of what took place. I am sorry about Esme and Alice. I do have one question for you. Why protect the assassin? She has been killing our kind." Eleazar stated.
"She is Jasper's mate. How can we not protect her?" Carlisle said.
"Do the Volturi know she is his mate?" asked one of the females.
"Yes, they have been informed, and they don't care. They see her as a threat either way," Jasper growled out.
"We see her sitting, being guarded. However, we also smell someone going through the change. Who is he and why bring him here?" asked a tall strawberry-blond female.
"The man you are referring to is Isabella's father. He is a good man. He knew nothing of our world until he was bitten. We allowed his change because it would have crushed Isabella, which would have destroyed Jasper," Carlisle explained.
There was more talking done before Jasper came and helped me out of the SUV. I was then introduced to the five new vampires. It was explained to me that Eleazar had been part of the Volturi until he met his mate Carmen. Tanya, Kate and Irina are sisters of sorts and are the oldest of the group.
I was carried inside and placed on the couch. Peter carried my dad in and took him upstairs to a room.
"Do you think it's safe for Isabella to be here when her father wakes up?" The woman I now knew as Carman asked.
"Isabella and I plan on leaving here tomorrow and will and stay in Fairbanks until it's safe for her return. Carlisle will come and check on her to make sure she is healing properly," Jasper told her. This was news to me.
"Are Peter and Char joining us?" I asked
"Yes, my Darlin'," he replied, kissing the top of my head.
I used the bathroom, and Char helped me make myself something to eat. I took more pain pills before I slept for the night. I slept well, knowing that five more vampires were on our side in this little war I caused.
I dreamed of taking on the Volturi with my mate by my side. Peter and Char joined us in defeating them. My sword cutting through the air swiftly, leaving no head attached. I was closing in on Aro when small chuckles from Jasper awakened me.
"What is so amusing this morning?" I asked.
"Oh, my Darlin'. The look on your face while you were dreaming, along with the thoughts you were thinking. I can only gather what they were." He said and then he kissed me.
One thing I couldn't wait for was more of this. Oh the things I want to happen when I am all healed.
