Chapter 9:
Jake's P.O.V.
I was running in the woods. I couldn't go back to Alessa. I heard Sam phase.
"Jake you have to come back, Alessa's gone and it's not your fault." he said.
I sighed. "I can't do that, she can do whatever she wants." I said.
I almost slapped myself across the face. Had I just said that.
"Never mind, I'm coming now." I said.
I ran to the house as fast as I could and phased back.
"Where is she?" I asked. Sam growled.
"She ran somewhere and Alec went with her." he said.
I growled. "I knew he was no good." I said. "What have I done?" I asked.
Sam sighed. "The imprint was broken, because of the baby, there is nothing you can do to fix it." he said.
I gasped. "There has to be. I love her, right?" I asked. Sam stopped. "Did you just question if you love her?" he asked.
I smiled. "Yea, I did, didn't I?" I said. Sam growled.
"Jake quit fooling around this is serious. If vampires can do that, than they can stop our reproduction, which means vampires rule the world." he said.
I growled. "We have to stop them, and I know just where." I said.
Sam sighed. "There's one more thing." he said. I sighed. "And what's that?" I asked.
Sam spoke. "Edward Cullen is dead and the cullens think we did it." he said. I growned.
"That means war." I replied. Sam nodded.
"Alec made it look like we did it, then left us with his sister. We have to hurry and put an end to this, before Bella gets wind of us." he said.
Alec's P.O.V.
I had done everything that Aro had asked.
I had even delivered my sister to him.
We walked into the great hall, after flying to Italy. She was looking around in awe, and I smiled.
I smiled and handed her the vile. "Here drink this." I said.
Alessa looked at me with confused eyes. "It will protect the baby." I replied.
Alessa smiled and did as she was told. "You'll like it here, once you get used to it." he said.
She smiled and turned to me.
"So, when can I meet Aro. I'm excited to start this new chapter in my book." she replied.
I grimaced. "You're trying to cover up your pain of the past with excitement.
Aro will take care of you, and if you want, make the past go away." I replied.
Alessa smiled. "I want to keep my past, so I know what I'm greatful for, but as far as Aro making me happy.
I fully decided to embrace it, in every way." she said.
I smiled. I had done my job. I just had one more thing to do.
"You know that Jake killed Edward Cullen, right?" I asked.
Alessa stopped. "Jake wouldn't do that, would he?"
she asked. I sighed.
"Yes, he did. His bond was broken, and he didn't care about the treaty. He became evil. He then killed Edward to make it look like I did it. He couldn't stand me, remember." I said.
Alessa started to shake.
"Oh, that stupid idiot. I know you didn't kill anyone, and as far as Jacob Black goes, he can just stay in La Push. I'm happy." she said.
I smiled. It was done.
Alessa's P.O.V.
We walked into the great hall to meet Aro. Although, I had already met him.
"Ah, Alessandra!" said Aro.
I smiled and walked over to him.
"Oh Aro, thank you so much for saving me from such...ick." I said.
Aro smiled. "I see you are now fully human." he said. I nodded.
"I actually am enjoying being human for a time." I replied. Aro smiled. "Well as soon as the baby is born, we can change you." he said.
I smiled. "You could do that? What's the catch?" I asked. I knew this was too good to be true.
I would be rid of Jake and his fake lies, saying that he loved me and wanted to protect me. Aro smiled. "I can and I will.
I just wanted our child to have two parents who will love him his whole vampire life." he said. I sighed. "My child will be a vampire?" I asked. Aro smiled.
"No, but we will change her." he said. I sighed. I didn't want my child to be a vampire, but I had no other choice. I smiled.
"I'll do it, but promise me, she will not be changed until the age of eighteen or if she is about to die." I said.
Aro smiled. "I promise." he replied. I sighed in relief. At least I had Aro's word that he wouldn't change my child right away.
I was escorted to my room and fell asleep in an instant. I had a dream of Jake running in his wolf form with the pack.
There was a flash, and I saw myself running in the woods. I was holding my little girl. I was running away from the pack.
I was trying to protect my child from them. They wanted to kill her. I ran and ran till I fell over a branch, my child falling out of my arms.
There stood Jake, standing over my baby. He went to strike, and then I woke up in a heat of cold sweat and fear.
I put on a robe, and rushed to Aro's chambers. "ARO!" I yelled, knocking on his door. The door swung open and there stood Aro.
"What is it?" he asked. I sighed. I had a bad dream. Jake was going to kill her." I said. Aro sighed. "The baby can tell the future?" he asked.
I gasped. "I didn't think of that till now. We have to protect her, help me protect her." I said. Aro smiled.
"Will you do anything to protect our child?" he asked. I nodded. Aro smiled. "Then come in here." he said.
I smiled and followed Aro into his chambers. He sat down on the chair and spoke.
"If we were to marry, then the child would be safe." he said. I gapsed.
"I don't know if that is such a good idea. I mean, I love Jake." I stopped speaking.
I loved Jake and that was all that mattered to me. I turned to Aro and spoke. "I love Jake!" I nearly yelled.
Aro sighed, got up, and retrieved my protection potion. "Here take this, it will help." he said.
I drank the potion, and waited.
I felt at ease with marrying Aro. I smiled.
"Yea, I will marry you, lets get married tomarrow." I said. Aro smiled.
I walked out of the room to my chambers, and I knew I had made the right choice.
Jake's P.O.V.
I sat on the plane with the rest of the pack. Thanks to the Cullens, we were able to go to Italy to save Alessandra.
I thought about all the things I had said to Alessandra, and how horrible I felt.
There was no way to take back what I said, but I had to fix it.
We landed and knew exactly where to go.
Once inside, we stormed to the great hall, to a sight that made me growl. Aro and Alessandra were standing at the alter, and getting married. Alessa's belly was huge, and she looked ready to deliver at any time.
I growled again and got their attention. Alessa turned to me, and her eyes showed that she was indeed already dead inside. I sighed. I had failed her, but I had to try to fix it. I spoke. "Let her go!" I yelled. Aro smirked.
"I'm not keeping her here, she is here of her own free will, isn't that right?" he asked turning to Alessa who now was standing two feet away from me.
I looked to Alessa to tell me he was lying, but got nothing. I sighed. "Alessa, why?" I asked. Alessa spoke.
"Because you abonded me and left me alone in the world, when I needed you most." she said. I gasped.
"Alessa, that was the work of the vampire child." I said. Alessa's eyebrows furrowed.
"My child is only part werewolf, not vampire, and I will not stand to here you say otherwise." she said.
I gasped. "Wait, you mean the baby didn't take on Aro's vampire qualities?" I asked. Alessa nodded.
The child is part werewolf, and part human, other than the ability to see the future, and the child showed me that you were going to kill her." she said.
I gasped again. "Alessa, I would never." I said. Alessa chuckled and walked over to Aro.
"Aro has been giving me protecting potions for the baby. I know that marrying him is wise, because he is taking the precautions to take care of me." she said.
I stopped and Dr. Cullen spoke. "Alessa, how do those potions taste?" he asked. Alessa rolled her eyes.
"Why does it matter?" she asked. Dr. Cullen smiled. "It dosn't but I would like to know myself." he said.
Alessa sighed. "They taste like death itself." she said. I stopped and looked to Dr. Cullen who had come to the same conclusion as me.
"Alessa, he is poisoning you with vampire powers. They are killing you and turning you and the baby into vampires, which are evil." said Dr. Cullen.
Alessa stopped and didn't say anything, she just looked pale and weak. "Alessa?" I asked. She shuddered.
"My water broke." she said.
Alessa's P.O.V.
The moment it happened, I knew. My water had broken, I felt relieved, but I also felt something else.
Then it dawned on me. Jake was telling the truth.
When my water broke, the potions were released as well.
I was free of this horrible vampire and his powers. "My water broke." I said.
Jake gasped. Aro stiffened next to me. "But, what, now?" asked Aro.
I turned to him and nodded. "Yes, now." I said. Aro smiled.
"Let's get you to your chamber and get you comfortable, while I have my servants take care of these dogs." he said.
I tried to fight him, but he was just too strong. I looked to Jake who nodded to me to go with Aro.
We both knew that Aro would not hurt the baby or me, if I continued to pretend to be on Aro's side.
I looked to Aro and smiled. "You know what, you're right. Go ahead. I want this baby to be born in a vampire only environment." I said.
Aro smiled. "That's my girl." he replied. We walked to my chambers and Jane helped me change into a night gown and get into the bed.
"Since Dr. Cullen is here, we have arranged for him to deliver the baby." said Jane. I sighd in relief. "Thank you Jane, can I sleep now?" I asked.
Jane nodded and left Aro and I alone. "I'm so happy that you came to your senses and decided to go along with my little plan." said Aro.
I smiled. "Oh Aro, I could never leave you. How did you get Dr. Cullen to deliver this child?" I asked.
Aro sighed. "It was easy. He offered to right away, saying he wanted to help me in my conquest." he said.
I smiled. "Oh, that's wonderful." I said. suddenly, a contraction hit. "Oh, Aro!" I yelled, squeezing his hand.
"A contraction?" he asked. I nodded and Aro sighed. "Don't worry, soon it will be over and so worth it." he said.
I nodded and closed my eyes, and felt myself drifing off to sleep.
