Amazing amount of reviews for the last chapter. I am so glad you liked it. This chapter is essential…I promise. *runs and hides* Abbeymickey24 & stephlite, you better hide too.
All things Twilight are the property and ownership of S. Meyers. I make no money from my obsession.
"You will not run from me again Isabella. As I will never part from you. You are MINE! And don't you forget it." I growled out to her. Then I slammed my lips down onto hers and reignited the fire we shared in Vegas. This was more primal, this was animalistic. I wanted to consume her and would not be upset if she did so to me. I licked her lips begging for entrance. She parted her blush colored lips for me and I made my way in, exploring her mouth and her taste. She tasted marvelous and damn I couldn't wait to taste the rest.
Chapter 10: Have You Forgotten Me
RPOV
In this life was it customary for one to roam alone. This was supposed to be a solitary life because one only rarely found a mate. The order was simple...feed, explore, mate, feed. Only the basic of needs were ever required. However, that was the life of a traditional vampire, those with the blood of humans flowing through their veins. Yet what happened to those of us that had chosen this alternate way of life? We "vegetarians" became attached often to people, personal possessions, comfort, a home, a bed, television, etcetera. Then why was I alone?
It was because I let a little slip of a girl come in and destroy my family. She took away my husband, my mother, father, and all of my siblings. She took away my comfort and everything I have known for the last 70 years. I tried to be nice when she was with Edward, but I knew she was just a danger to us all. A human running with vampires. She was a snack waiting to happen. Hmph. She got my brother killed and for that alone I would hate her for all of eternity. Not many knew how close Edward and I really were. We may have acted like assholes to each other, but he was there for me a long time ago and I never forgot that. Those years he left to "explore" his vampire life were the hardest on me. I keep those words he said to me till this day.
"Rosalie I have to go. I just can't do it this way anymore." He was steadily packing his bag and I grabbed it and tossed it across the room.
"You can't leave. You will hurt Esme and Carlisle will be disappointed. You didn't even say goodbye to them. You wait to sneak out while they're gone. Fucking coward." I was angry he was leaving and I was going to make sure he remembered it.
"Rose…C'mon Vixenator. You know I have to do this." He knew he had me at that nickname. He got a kick out of the way I taunted and teased the human males in town. Only to let them down hard the next second.
"Please. Who the hell is going to keep me entertained and go shopping with me." I smiled slightly and his smirk grew on his face. What a lady killer.
"Lady killer eh." His smirk still on his face.
"Ugh Eddie you're incorrigible. Be safe. Don't be stupid. Come home when you're ready." I hugged him fiercely. He placed a kiss on my forehead and handed me a letter for our parents.
"Take care of yourself Rosalie. Who knows what this life has in store for you. The world will always be your oyster." I felt the fleeting feeling of his hand on my face and within the next second he was gone.
I had cried for hours. Carlisle and Esme returned reading his note and I became the epitome of ice. Edward was gone for the better part of thirty years, checking in only five times while he was gone. By the time he returned, I was different, he was certainly different. But also by then I found and saved Emmett, ironically enough, only a few years after Edward left.
Emmett had become my everything. He was my lover, my protector, and my trophy. He was everything one would want in a mate, but I knew he wasn't mine. I could see it with Carlisle and Esme and with Eleazar and Carmen. That spark just wasn't there. I didn't care, no one could have him. So why did I let him go? Because I thought he'd never call my bluff. He always let me lead in our marriage, the bedroom, and our everyday life. So now this girl comes around and he wants his balls back? No dear. Sorry but those still belong to Rosalie Muthafucking McCarty! I know this because I never signed the fucking divorce papers. So he could go tramping around all over Oregon with that slut, but this shiny ring on my finger said another thing. And I was going to take back what was mine.
I had decided to call Esme a while back. I had heard all about Vegas through Tanya. I knew that bitch would get all the info out of Irina who got it from Kate. Emmett had made the move on Bella. There was talk of them being mates. What the fuck ever. That bitch couldn't mate if her damn life depended on it. And if she put her hands on Emmett again, it would. So I had to make a move on things. After receiving the papers from Jenks, I knew Emmett was trying to grow some sense. He was a good boy and this child was ruining him. I loved Emmett and I could say that I was in love with him at a time, but all men were good for one thing, to be kept under my boot, trained, like a good boy. I had put in my time with Emmett and I wasn't about to let it all go to waste. So I needed to visit the family. My call with Esme didn't go as I had expected.
"Esme, hello. I was wondering if we could catch up." I said semi-cheerfully. I didn't want to come off false.
"Oh Rosalie, my girl. How are you? Are you eating well? Are the wolves giving you trouble?"
"Things are fine here, just a little quiet. I miss my family." The trick to Esme was playing the sympathy card.
"Well Rosalie you have no one to blame but yourself on that. You haven't been the respectable young lady I thought you to be." What the hell? Where was this coming from?
"Excuse me Esme?"
"You can get the snark right out of your voice Miss Hale." That's Mrs. McCarty to you! "Rosalie look, a lot has changed for you. But know you are always going to be my daughter and are welcome to visit here. With you and Emmett no longer together, we can certainly rearrange things."
"That's good Esme. I was hoping that I could come up now. It's always so lovely in Oregon in November."
"Now…wouldn't really be a good time."
"Well why the hell not?"
"Good fucking grief Rosalie! It's just been a bit rough getting everyone settled and Bella is having a tough time right now."
"I can't believe it. Everything always revolves around that damn girl."
"Watch it Rosalie. I have had enough of your shit." She can't yell at me that way.
"Well geez Esme can I at least come visit for the holidays?"
"That would be fine. Maybe come up on Christmas Eve. Stay a few days."
"Well thanks warden." I was beyond pissed at this point.
"I could tell your spoiled ass to stay in Forks and come after the New Year once that fucking attitude of yours clears up."
"ESME!"
"Don't you Esme me. You know if you work me up enough, I am going to come out and tell you like it is. You make the choice. Come Christmas Eve or not."
And with that she had hung up the fucking phone on me. I wasn't going to wait till Christmas Eve. What was she trying to hide from me? I knew through the grapevine that Bella had been ignoring Emmett ever since they left Vegas. Apparently Ms. Bella wasn't woman enough to take what Emmett was offering. This was prime time to pick up the pieces of his "broken heart." He couldn't resist me, he always wanted me. So I hopped in my red BMW M6 and began the drive to the new Oregon home.
I was close by the house when I heard screaming. I parked a bit of way away so I could investigate. I saw Emmett darting out the house with a speed I have never seen. He was then followed by Alice and Jasper. They were not a part of my plan to get back in with the family. I was just here for Emmett. The rest were fodder. It hurt the most from Jasper when he turned away from me. He called me after Emmett got the divorce papers in Vegas. I let it go to voicemail.
"What the hell were you thinking Rosalie? I know it was over, but couldn't you have waited till you he got home? What the fuck happened to you? Well you got your damn wish…he's signing them. Now that it's over, take this last piece of brotherly advice from me. Grow the fuck up."
Well fuck you too brother. I watched as Carlisle and Esme held each other. Esme seemed like she wanted to follow, but Carlisle was holding her back. I wanted to see what was going on, so I headed in the direction the others went. I hung back not really wanting them to catch my scent. I knew that Alice would be more focused on the issue at hand than trying to focus on anything else.
They stopped not too far from a cabin. There was Emmett inside that fucking bubble with Bella. That shit was not cute and I really fucking had enough of it. Damnit! She exposed us to a human. Jasper will kill him. The family will be safe. They may have abandoned me, but I didn't wish them to die….well maybe Bella. I watched Emmett caress Bella in a way I have never seen him touch me. Bastard! He then picked her up and they dashed off leaving Alice, Jasper, and the poor human that was about to die. I moved downwind and kept my emotions even.
"Jasper we can't leave him alive, can we? I still can't see what will all come of this. Something is playing around with my visions. ARGH!" Jasper moved in to pull Alice closer to him.
"Calm down Ali. It will be okay sweetness. I put him to sleep and an empty liquor bottle next to his bed. I added some confusion, fear, and doubt into his little cocktail. By the time he wakes up, he will think it was all a dream." Is he fucking nuts? Jasper's head popped up, probably sensing my spike of anger. He looked around and found nothing. He had taught me well. They moved to the side of the house, probably staying to make sure his plan would work out. They were willing to sacrifice their own lives to pacify this girl. What had this family come to? She had changed everything.
I dashed back trying to catch up to Emmett as this would be a good time to get him away from Bella. He would see my point of view and wouldn't want to risk his life against the Volturi. I came upon the large field before you hit the property and there were Emmett and Bella, holding each other. No bitch, he is mine! Don't kiss her Emmett! I could hear the words they were saying to each other and it ripped my heart to pieces. He can't love her! He is mine! Always! MINE! I was just about to go out there and rip that bitch from Emmett's arms when Carlisle and Esme approaches the two and interrupt them. They looked embarrassed and tried to clean off the forest floor from their clothes. Esme wrapped her arms around Bella and brought her in for a hug. Carlisle patted Emmett's shoulder and kissed Bella on the head. She had taken it all away from me. All of them.
I ran slowly back to my car and sped off. Fuck them, fuck all of them. I didn't need them. They certainly showed me that they did not need me anymore.
I made it back to Forks and wanted to crash the car right into the house. It was the scent of another vampire that caused me to stop. I had smelled that scent before. A long time ago. Jesus H. Christ! Could my day get any fucking worse? I walked into my home and see what damage has been done. There looking through the room was a bitch I thought I'd never see again.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I snarled at her.
"Trying to find the one that killed my mate. Where is the human? Her scent is almost non-existent here. It seems to be flooded with yours. Alone are we?" Her maniacal smile almost frightened me…almost.
"She's Dead." Well she was…
"You lie!" She growled at me. Just seeing what I'm working with.
"She is dead, one of us actually. Your mate, I believe, bit her. Right before he killed my brother." I growled back at her.
"So he was the other I smelled in the ashes of my fallen mate." I know what it's like to loose the one you love to Bella Swan.
"If you want her, I can tell you where she is." Red's smile was contagious. I could tell we both would relish in her death. "Only if you promise not to hurt the others…too much. Leave the brown haired large male to me. It seems this little girl likes to take mates away. Make her pay for taking mine. I'll deal with him later."
"Join me then." It was almost a command, but I marched up to her, remembering Alice's words, "When the time comes Rosalie…please say no. You'll know when." Is this that moment?
"No. I don't think I will. But you will need help if you plan on going against them." She smirked at me and I returned it.
"Don't worry Blondie. I can make a lot of help." I knew what she meant, but I doubted she would make too many. She seemed smart and old enough to know not to draw attention.
"Oregon, just south east of here. Once you hit Portland, head Southeast. It's a little town called Mitchell. The scents are all over the fucking place. Try to get her alone." I told her and she smiled brightly. She came closer to me again and ran her hand down my face.
"Thank you, very much. It would be better having the company." She was close to me, too close. I pushed her back. I was not one to play for the home team.
"The farther away from me the better Red. Be warned…my other sister has visions, she can see the possible future and her mate is the Major. He protects them all." I waited as that little bit of information sank in.
"A simple group of five would not be enough to stop him. Maybe twenty." She looked pensive and I began to get nervous. Emmett may not survive that. Maybe I could come earlier, before her and get him out of there. Still, I would not want the deaths of the other on my hands. I have to think of another option, a backup plan.
"There is another way." Red looks interested. So I told her all about what I saw happen earlier with the man. I warn her of Bella's fucking bubble, both shields. "How intriguing she would be to someone in Italy."
"Hmmm….I like the way you think Blondie."
"Why thank you Red." She left the house not long after that, claiming that she needed a nice meal to ponder things. I told her of the wolves and requested she stayed out of Forks and La Push. I went to my room and thought over everything. I made the right choice. It's always been about me.
VPOV
That was all too easy. I thought I was going to have to fight her first. I guess lost love was the theme of the day. All because of a human. Blondie just didn't understand. They all destroyed my mate and they all will suffer.
Screw the damn Volturi. I liked my original plan more. I will have my revenge properly executed, under my rule. If I made a small army of twenty, soldiers taken from scattered locations, it will probably keep those fucking Italian bastards off my back. They had been searching for James and I for questioning of some fun we had that garnered more attention than they liked. James just loved the "Free Love" in the late sixties. It was terrible fun. Yet it was my gift that kept their own tracker at bay. He couldn't get to us.
Still I have to get around the seer. I am sure something would come up and spoil things for me, especially if Blondie changed her mind. I need a front man, Someone to make the decisions I can't. I would also need someone else to watch that Rosalie. I can't have her ruining my fun. Hmmm…Laurent owes me a few favors. He could do that.
"I will make them all scream in agony for the death they brought my James. Especially their precious Isabella."
A/N: This chapter was a necessary evil. I hope you all are still with me. Back to Em & Bella in the next chapter. See ya Monday!
