(A/N: We wanna thank everyone for sticking with us, and we hope you all understand about the whole 'punishment' thing. If not, then we hope this chapter will clear it up for you. We are working hard on our other stories. ICYHWM will be updated here really soon so keep watch for an update. Also Everlasting Bonds is going to be updated soon. Thank you all for your continued support! Here is another Chapter!)

We had been training vigorously. After the men had issued each of our 'punishments' we were quickly back to training day and night for weeks, only stopping to hunt. The punishments... well lets just say, the girls and I have been thinking and plotting on when we can make our next escape. Our bodies humming with anticipation for the next round of punishment. The boys were none the wiser. They took care of us greatly... really greatly.

After another month of non stop training, The whole group started showing promise in our fighting skills and Jasper and Peter deemed us quickly a force to be rekoned with. They pulled the plug on the hard training and we got back to living our lives and getting to know each of our gifts.

Rose's has turned out to be the diamond in the rough. Our own personal secret weapon. we only practiced her gift when someone was patroling the surrounding woods. we didnt want any prying eyes taking this information to anyone. At this particular moment, we had the element of surprise. They could come up, guns a blaze and hell bent on taking my head, but noone would be any the wiser. Rose could now errect a physical barrier outside and inside of the walls of my own, making it near impossible for anyone to get in, and if they did, they wouldnt be getting out... alive that is. we were now working on training her gift to be activated through eye contact. She was doing splendidly.

Charlie and Peter were working on his Master's gift and making it as strong. Carlisle was confident in charlies gift. Said that he could take over an entire army of vampires and humans alike. With his gift, it was damn near impossible for us to lose.

My gift was simple. I could errect a barrier. Stretching and shrinking it was becoming more and more easier with each passing day and i practiced hard.

Jasper and I were becoming more and more close. It was getting harder to stay away from him and I was beginning to wonder why I had not pushed the phycho pixie out the door sooner. Who was she to have had any claim to my mate. As far as i know, she could fuck off along with the red headed bitch. Things were finally starting to look up for me, and I was hell bent on making sure noone messed that up for me.

Jaspern and Garrett went back home... to their childhood home. The brothers both wracked with agony and grievance for their lost family. But is was in that time of grievance that they became closer then anyone i had ever seen. The bond between them as strong as steel cables. The brothers... all three of them, because garrett recognized how important peter was to jasper, were all closer as if all of them were blood related.

We hadnt heard any word of a move being made on Alice's part. We had a feeling that she was bringing Victoria into it some way or another and My heart jumped at the thought of being able to, again, get my hands on the bitch who ruined my life. She better never come after me again if the fucking fairy does dig her up. She will come to realize that turning me was the worst mistake she has ever made. Because now, I was strong with pent of anger and frustration. The pixie was just the cherry on top of my cake of 'fuck you'.

I heard a scuttle coming from the house. I jumped up from my perch on the rock by the river and ran back to the house. I was met with Jasper high tailing his ass right out of the house so fast, if i wasnt a vampire, I would have never seen in. Peter came flying from the house behind him with a look of horror and frustration on his face.

"You better fucking fight it peter!" Jasper hollared to him while ducking under his arm and kicking him in the ass, making him fall forward face first. Peter jumped up, and i saw the spot in the groud where his face had connected and felt a peter size face print in the earth. Chuckling softly, I watched as the boys chased each other around the open pasture.

"Bella!" Char made it to me in record time.

"What are they doing?" I cocked my head to the side when peter tried to hold jasper down and lay a smacker on him. I winced with wide eyes as his attempts were met with jasper's fist, sounding like rocks colliding, as they smashed into peters face.

"Bella!" Jasper hollard to me as he ran up and behind me. "Put him in a sheild!" He said pointing to the possesed peter.

"Jasper come on! I dont wanna..." Just then his fist came up involentarily and slammed downward into his nuts. A deftening cry rose from his lips and he whimpered as he began to crawl slowly toward jasper.

"Hell no! I dont care if you ground your nuts into dust! I aint kissin' ya!" He yelled from behind my shoulder like a child.

I huffed and waved my hand, capturing peter in my sheilds bubble, and holding his arms behind his back with another so he couldnt punch his jewles again.

"Thanks Bella." Char said a little relieve, but her voice was laced with humor.

"Ok, now that Peter is takin' care of, anyone wanna explain to me exactly why peter is chasing my man around trying to smooch his lips into oblivion?" I laughed as jasper glared at me with a small growl.

"Well, peter though it would be funny to get back at your dad for making him twerk all the time, so he came back from town with a bucket full of bear piss and poured it over his head. Charlie didnt find it to funny. So he made him do this. He had to punch himself in the nuts untill he was able to pin and kiss jasper with a sloppy one. unfortunatly, jasper wasnt so willing to make out with him. Hence, the way he punched his balls into mush." Char explained as i slowly pulled my sheild toward us and into the house.

"Come on... Dad?" I called walking into the house. He appeared beside me smelling strongly of soap and cologne. I wrinkled my nose and saw his face grimace.

"Let him off the cammand?" I asked him. Charlie narrowed his eyes at peter and smirked. I took a deep breath and glared at him.

"Dad, I can have my shield around you in a split second making you do the same to yourself that you are making him do... dont you think he has learned his lesson? I mean, he has pretty much given himself his own gender surgery and gotten the hell beat out of him by jasper." I said annoyed. Charlie stared him down for a few seconds then nodded his head.

"Fine, but if he does it again, next time ill have his balls myself!" Charlie huffed and walked away. I quickly released him from my shield and walked away.

"Dumbass." I muttered and made my way over to my computer and pulled up my email. It had been forever since i had heard from Jake and i missed him. The email Jake had sent me popped up.

'Hey Bell's

I'm glad you were able to rescue charlie, but the pack is ok with you having to turn him. we understand that there was nothing you could have done. If we catch even a small whiff of they fucking red head, we will have her ass for what she did. I miss you to, and no Bell's I dont hate you. Your still my bella even in cold one form. So I have some news. I have imprinted on someone. We have been going strong for a month now. Her name is Jessie... well thats what i call her. We are planning a trip to Texas so she can meet you. We will be there shortly after i get a reply from you. So hurry back and sent the ok. Gotta go now bell. Jessie is cooking supper. Love ya!'

-Jake

I quickly clicked reply and typed my response.

'Jake,

Yeah, please come. I need some normalitly for once. Dad is having the time of his life torturing peter and jasper with his master gift and its up to me to clean up the mess. I wanna kill them sometimes. Smh. Alice hasnt made a move and we are just waiting on her to fuck up. We are more then ready to kick her ass. Victoria shouldnt be a problem for yall because burried her head and burned her body. Im happy that you have found someone who makes you happy. You need a good woman who will take care of you... but tell her that if she dont do it right, I will have her for dinner. (licking my lips) LOL, anyways jake, I hope to see you soon. Hurry before I pull my hair out! I didnt even know vampires could get migrains! ugh! let me know a date and ill see you then!.

-Bella

P.S. make sure you give me a list of all her favorite foods and such so i can make sure the house is well stocked for the little human. ;) And please make sure she knows how crazy the family is... dont need to be scaring the poor girl off! Be careful and love ya!

It didnt take long for Jake to message me back with a date that was set for a week from now. we were all gearing up for the arrival of the first human my dad is going to meet. He assures us all that he will be fine and there will be nothing to worry about but we were all very secure in making sure he understood the rules. namely, he just couldnt eat the human.

The day jake was supposed to arrive, we all pittled around the house, trying to make sure that everything was in the right place and ready for when Jake got here. The house stuffed with food to the max so we could not only accomodate Jessie, but a surely, always hungry wolf.

Minutes turned into hours, and the sun was starting to dip below the horizon. Jake was still not here. Charlie began to get worried and he paced the house constantly.

"Jaz, I think we need to go look for them. They should have been here by now." Jasper nodded and looked around the room.

"Alright, lets all get buddied up. Each one of us will go a different way that they could have gone, coming from washington. Keep your nose and ears opened. Stay alert and be ready for anything." He said.

Jasper and i immediatly took off after everyone nodded and started in on one of the back roads around these parts. we went all over texas looking for them, and still no sign. We were heading back when we heard the sounds of pounding footsteps heading our direction, three scents wafted to us. Jasper recognized one to be jake, and I recognized the other as Victoria.

We took off pounding through the woods. I jumped up into a tree down wind from them and waited for the bitch to come into my sights. Jake was running wildly, his tounge hung out of his mouth to the side and his breath was coming out in short pants. The shrill laugh of victoria rang out not far behind him.

"Run wolf boy, it still wont be enough!" She cried, and thats when she came into view. I caught a small glimps of her hair, and then was springing off of my perch. I landed roughly on her back, and we went down snarling. Both of us fighting, kicking, punching and clawing for the upper hand. I finally got the bitch pinned to the ground and jake came trotting up beside me. I nodded my head as he let lose a vicious snarl. He phased back.

"The...Damn...Redhead... BITCH!" He panted none to gently. He was tired. she had to have been chasing him for hours.

"Bella, shield please." Jasper said walking into view with a small woman in his hands. He set her down gently behind a tree. she was no doubt shaken up by the turn of events. I looked to jasper and nodded, wrapping the bitch very tightly in my shield, then turning to jake.

"Hey you!" I smiled at him. looking to the tree the girl was standing behind i nodded my head to jake in her direction. "Go take care of your girl. I got this bitch. Right victoria?" I grabbed her by the hair and made her look me in the eye. Smacking her hard on the cheek sarcastically. She snarled at me, lunging for my hand. Now that wasnt nice. I growled as i reared my arm back and punched her in the face. I watched with satisfaction as a crach appeared over her nose and under her eyes.

We walked into the house with victoria in tow, trying to thrash about in my shield, but having no luck getting her invisible binds undone. Charlie was the first one up out of his seat, the chair he was sitting in at the kitchen table banging loudly behind him.

"What the fuck?!" I had never really heard my dad curse. It was a once in a blue moon kind of thing. Just about that time, Victoria happened to find her voice and she started growling and screaming. The pressure behind my shield was getting stronger, and for a second, I thought she was gonna be home free. Charlie came up face to face with her and she growled. A sinester smirk playing on her lips at the sight of him.

Peter jumped up off the couch, growling like a rabid dog.

"How the hell is she fucking here!" He yelled pointing to the bitch in my shield. I nodded my head at him knowingly.

"Thats what i would like to know. If i had to take my guess, I would say the fucking pixie had her hand on it." I pulled harshly at victoria's hair making her look up at me with a snarl. "So tell us Vicky. Was it her?" I watched her smirk in defiance. She was trying to play with me... as if trying to buy time.

"Ill tell you this much, if her life is worth yours, then i will be all to happy to kill you and watch as you burn..." I though for a moment, then clicked my tounge. "But, If you tell us what you know, Ill let you live... here with us. You will be our little pet, but atleast you will be alive." I threw her to the floor and tightened my bonds on her. "So, whats it gonna be?" I asked her.

We all stood and watched as her eyes darted from person to person.

"Either way, you will be telling us what you know. You see, my dad here has the master's gift. One direct order from him and you will sing against your will. But if you tell us on your own, you will live." Her eyes stared fearfully up in my dad's but he returned it with a merciless stare of his own. Her resolve melted and she nodded her head.

"Fine, But i have a few conditions of my own..." She said. I rose my eyebrow at her.

"Oh? Well we are generouse enough to let you live. I dont think you deserve anything else." I sneered at her.

"Please. Ill tell you everything... and ill become your little spy if you want... i just want my mate back." She looked up at me with tearful eyes.

"James was killed years ago. We cant bring him back." I told her more sympathecally then i had entended it. She shook her head.

"No, He wasnt my mate. He was just a mile stone in my search, as was your mate." I was shocked... but i felt slightly sorry for her and turned my head away. "Fine, we will help you if you help us... But know this Victoria, you will be ordered to be honest to us, and you will be ordered to tell us where your at every day. you will not betray us... because if you do, I will contiue to seach for your mate and kill him myself... Do you understand? His life is in your hands." I told her, and she growled at my threat to her mate, then nodded her head in understanding.

The moment i released her, My dad had ordered her to do as i had said he would. She still had free will of mind and body. If we had ordered her every move then she would have been no good to us. So She set out the next day to track down alice and bring in more information.

From what she had told us. Alice had dug her up with the intent to find Maria. She was out for blood... And The bigger shocker was that Edward was on her side. The two crazies of the family had reached a new level.

Victoria checked in everyday, giving us updates and we did the same on what we found about her mate. Aparently he was burried alive. His limbs and seperate from his head. Somewhere in Japan was a vampire man who was desparate to get rescued. It would take us a while to find the exact location... It had been a hundred years since his burial. but we had no doubt we would.

Victorai had said that they didnt plan on attacking any time soon. They had found Maria, and she was all to happy about getting both her major and captain back, along with Dad, emmett and carlisle. just the mention of it had all us women murderously mad.

"Bella!" Peter came barreling into the room.

"Bella, Hes not in Japan! Hes in England!" I was shocked. peter's gift finally picked up a clue. I felt a breath of relief. We could finally get down to business instead of following dead ends.

"Carlisle! we need a private jet to England. I have a deal to uphold." I told him.

The very next morning, we were off to England to find the missing vampire.

(A/N: OHHH! Threw ya for a loop didnt we! Ok, so bear with us. we know that we made victoria out to be the horrible vamp she was meant to be, and she still is a bitch! but there is a plan for all of this! Thank ya for reading!
