AN: Wow, okay, longest chapter so far. Sorry it took so long! We ended up getting around 33" of snow in my area, so it took a good three days to shovel it all out, and that is exhausting for those of you who have never experienced shoveling snow before. And it is snowing again as we speak and we are to expect another foot or so. UGH!

But on the bright side, my school is canceled for the entire week! Aha! Take that bitches! :P

But anyway…between the ungodly amount of snow and celebrating my 18th birthday –hell yes! – I haven't had the time to update. But I have not forgotten about this story and I already know what is going to happen within the next few chapters, so yeahh…

BTW check out my profile! I have pictures of what my characters look like :)

Also I'm putting up a poll on whether you guys think Tanya should be killed or not… ;) Till next time!

P.S – Still no Beta so expect mistakes…I can't catch them all :(

Whatever they were hiding was big.

"Tanya, what are you hiding from us, and why is Irina wrapped so tightly around what ever it is?" I asked in a hard voice. This was no time to hide anything from us, and by the look of it, whatever it was, was vital to this mission's success.

These two fuck-nuts really knew how to rub me the wrong fucking way…

Chapter 10

AnonymousPOV

I should have known that finding information on the God of War would be a challenge. You can't just go waltzing in and grab it. Even if I made it seem like I posed no threat to him, it still wouldn't be easy.

It seems as if he does know that I, or someone, is here because I can't seem to find anything on him.

I did, however, find that he is living with a Carlisle Cullen and his coven. I caught scent of seven old vampire scents that surround the area, but there are also six other newer scents that I picked up as well. I followed a trail that consisted of one of the older lingering scents, and one of the newer scents. It led me into the woods where I found a few trees scattered precariously on the forest floor along with shreds of a shirt and a…bra?

Well that's interesting…

But what caught my attention the most was not the site where no doubt a good, tree falling fucking took place, it was the fact that the two scents that I followed and were so concentrated in this area, disappeared beyond this site. After the trail that led to this place secluded place in the forest, it was like the two vampires here just vanished.

I was only aware of two vampires that were able to cut off their scents.

The God and Goddess of War.

Shit…

This was not good. Finding the God of War alone was a challenge in itself. Finding a weakness was close to impossible, and there was only one that I could this of.

His Goddess

But if I'm correct in my assumption, that at least one of the scents that I followed and then watched disappear into thin air, was the God of War, then that means that he has found his Goddess, because I know without a doubt that he would not fuck anyone but her. And if this is true then that means that he no longer has a weakness, and neither does she.

Fuck. Shit. Damn. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!

This is what we were counting on. We were expecting the God of War to be alone still after all of these years. Of course it seems that whenever we hope, the outcome is not good for us. Dammit!

I have to get back to Maria. Screw this fucking stupid recon mission, there is no point anymore. If we attack we will die.

I just hope Maria is smart enough to listen, but knowing her, this will only make her more determined.

Sometimes I wonder when Maria's concept of what is sane went off-center…

BPOV

When Jasper asked Tanya what she and Irina were hiding, they immediately went on the defensive.

"What are you talking about, Jasper? I have no idea what you mean! And besides, even if I was hiding something, we have more important issues to worry about at the moment!" Tanya started out hesitant, but ended yelling

Both Jasper and my patience were wearing thin with these two numb-nuts. I needed answers and I needed them now.

"You know what we're talking about you two and it's about time you come clean." I stated in an authoritative voice.

"Seriously, we don't know what you're talking about." Irina stated defiantly, her eyes darting around.

It was a dead give-away if you ask me. Anyone who has spent time in the military, or like Jasper and I, in the "evil" vampire extermination wars would say the same.

"If you don't start explaining yourselves, I will be forced to do it for you, and trust me, it will not end nicely for the two of you." I growled out. Next to me, Jasper snarled his support.

"Would you quit being so cryptic already?!" Tanya screamed "We told you we have no idea what you're talking about!"

I was just about ready to rip these two fuck-tards to shreds when Jasper sent what calm he could muster in his livid state, towards me, effectively stopping that action…for now. He looked at me and the sides of his lips curled up slightly telling me he was also anticipating shredding these two dimwits.

"We will not ask you again. Tell us what you two are hiding or we will force it out." Jasper stated in his dead calm voice.

Ahh, my man was sexy.

"Well bring it on, honey because we are not hiding anything!" Tanya said petulantly

I could tell that both she and Irina were scared and that once again, Tanya let her mouth run away from her head. Or perhaps her brain is just too small and her mouth is lost…

Both Jasper and I chuckled darkly at that thought.

"What is so fucking funny?! You're both crazy!" Tanya screeched in a voice that would break bullet proof glass.

"It's just that your mouth can't seem to find your brain is all" I told Tanya. I couldn't help but tease her a bit, she deserved it anyway. And if she was going to waste our time, then I would make it worth it for everyone else in the room.

"You bitch!" Both Tanya and Irina screamed at me, "You're going to wish you were never born or created or whatever the fuck you were! I bet that you are God's one and only embarrassment!" Tanya finished

Uh oh…she was asking for it now. Jasper snarled so frighteningly and everyone in the room whimpered and recoiled from it. Now I know Jasper in and out but if I had to know only one thing about him, it was that you never, and I mean never insult me in front of him.

I knew that Tanya deserved to die but even in my aggravated state, I would not subject her to Jasper's wrath.

I would handle this…

I put my hand on Jasper's arm both in comfort and in restrain. He calmed slightly at my touch but did not break eye contact with the bitches sitting across from us. He was about to lose control.

'Jasper, baby, come back' I thought to him

I stepped around so that I was blocking his sight of dumb and dumber and put both my hands on either side of his face.

'I'm here, my Love. Come back to me'

His pitch black eyes reluctantly looked down at me and I leaned on my toes and kissed him as hard as I could. I licked him bottom lip asking for entrance, which he granted immediately with a growl. I slid my tongue into his mouth and they started their sinuous dance with each other, fighting for dominance. When I pulled back after a few minutes his eyes were a dark wine color. His demon wasn't caged completely, but Jasper was in control. I looked away from my Love's beautiful eyes and at the Cullens and Denali Coven, where they sat in their respective locations cowering from us.

Before she could register what was going on I was in Tanya's face with my war mask on. I have not come across anything that was not frightened shitless when Jasper and I looked like I did now. Once our victims saw us this way, they would become so petrified that they couldn't move, think, or see anything else other than us. But at the same time, we were the most terrifyingly beautiful things that they would claim they ever saw, even though most that saw this mask didn't live to talk about the sight they were exposed to.

When both Tanya and Irina registered that I was in front of them, they visibly shook and cringed back into the couch further, as if they wanted to melt into it. Haha not likely! If their human bodily functions were still running they would be pissing and shitting in their pants. I hissed at the two of them and they whimpered so pathetically that I almost took pity on them…almost

They were shaking so badly that one would believe that they were sitting on a malfunctioning massage chair. It was weird because vampires don't tremble; only those that are exposed to this mask did. In a way this was refreshing; to confirm that I had not lost my touch.

"Now we asked you nicely, but you two don't seem to understand that this is not some sick game that you two can play. This is serious and though I can't use my powers to their full extent I can tell that what you're hiding is vital to the success of the coming battle. So once again, tell me or we won't be on good terms any longer." I snarled out

"You can't force us to do squat, bitch! You just said it yourself! You can't use your powers right now!" Tanya argued stupidly back.

She has got some courage or, more likely, severe stupidity. Not even God argues back when Jasper or I am in this state.

Jasper was suddenly next to me crouching down but still towering over the two dummies.

"You stupid stupid girl" Jasper sneered

"Well I guess you two have chosen the hard way…" I said with a wicked gleam in my eyes. I could feel my vision becoming clearer and I knew that to spectators my eyes would be completely black, no white or violet would be seen.

In a movement so fast, I had Tanya's neck in my left hand and Irina's in my right. I pulled them up from their sitting positions and held them both at eye level. Both of them started kicking and thrashing around thinking that if they squirmed enough, then I would let them go. This, however, just made me hold onto them tighter.

I felt my nails beginning to dig into their marble skin and it was a wonderful feeling. I brought my power of fire to the forefront of my mind, careful not to bring it out too much that it would alert Maria's helper. My finger tips glowed bright orange like a hot coal. Tanya and Irina started to scream in pain. I could tell that Carmen and Kate wanted to help them. Though their bonds to each other were not that significant, they still did not want members of their coven to hurt like this. But of course they did nothing. They were far too scared for their own lives to do anything, and deep down, they knew that both of these whores deserved what they were getting.

Beside me Jasper had an evil shit-eating grin plastered onto his face. Call us sadistic for loving their suffering, but these bitches deserved to die. Plus, the world would no doubt be a better place with two less succubae haunting the human male population.

"Are you ready to talk yet?" I sneered to the two vampires

They just continued to thrash around like wild animals screaming and whimpering as my fingers dug deeper into the hard flesh at their throats.

I allowed my fingertips to grow hotter and their screaming went up an octave.

"P-p-pl-ple-pleeeaase!!....s-stop-p!" Irina chocked out. I loosened my grip on her throat while Tanya continued to squirm in my left hand.

"Are you ready to spill yet, dear?" I asked in a condescending voice, flexing my hand around her neck to make sure that she knew that if she did not tell the complete truth, I would hold no remorse in killing her right then and there.

"Y-ye-yes" she stuttered out

She stood there, her eyes darting between Jasper and I.

"Well" I snarled out tightening my hold around her neck

"It's about Maria's army"

"Please!" I stated sarcastically, "Tell us something we don't know. Do you think Jasper and I would expend this much energy on you two lowlifes if the information you have was not vital to us? I thought I explained this already" I said angrily

Granted, she was cooperating, but she was still making it extremely hard to not kill her.

"I'll tell you everything! Just please! Let Tanya go!" She begged

Ahh the bargaining technique…

I smiled and let Tanya go. She fell right into Jasper's arms and started thrashing around again. He was doing very much the same thing I was just doing to her except now I had my left hand free.

I chuckled darkly and looked back to Irina who was staring at us with wide scared eyes.

"There, I let her go. Now, spill" I commanded

"A little while ago I met a vampire named Laurent. We fell in love and became mates. None of my coven knows this except Tanya because I needed an alibi and Tanya was there. We would say that we were going hunting and then I would sneak off to see him. He is a human drinker. About two months after we became mated, I found out what he did. He works for Maria in the south, building her army. He is not gifted, just extremely smart, which is why Maria keeps him around. She did not change him, he joined willingly." She finished her story.

Jasper and I were fuming, and from the angry gasps coming from everyone else, they were too. This is exactly what we did not need. This left us with no choice.

We had to kill Irina.

"Do you know what you have done?!" Eleazar yelled.

"I'm so sorry" Irina pleaded

Eleazar was about to respond but Jasper silenced him with a look

"What would you have done if we had gone into battle without knowing this? I asked in a dead calm voice. My demon was raging in my body screaming to be unleashed, from the way Jasper looked I could tell that he was on the same page.

"I would have turned on you and fought with Laurent" Irina said honestly knowing that if she wanted any chance of survival, she would have to be brutally honest.

Jasper and I had to get outside before we let our demons out and destroyed the house.

'God of War, outside now!' I shouted in my thoughts, desperately holding onto my last shred of sanity

He tore his gaze away from Irina and looked at me with night black eyes. He nodded minutely and dashed outside with Tanya still in his hands.

I followed on his heels with Irina in my hand. In an insignificant part of my brain I noted that the others were following cautiously behind us as well.

Once we got to the water we stopped and the family stopped about twenty feet away, too scared to get too close.

I let go of the last of my sanity and unleashed my demon. I looked up at the sky as my eyes flashed red and then went back to black.

Isabella Swan was no more, the only thing that remained was the Goddess of War.

CPOV(Carlisle)

I looked towards where Jasper and Bella were holding Tanya and Irina by their necks. They were no longer themselves and both of their eyes flashed red. I could only guess that they were now the God and Goddess of War. In all of my years of knowing Jasper, I have never seen him this way before. It was truly like I never even knew him. Looking on at them I had never seen anything more beautiful in my entire existence. Bella's glare flashed down to Irina and she smiled what can only be described as an intoxicatingly beautiful smile of death at the frightened vampire in her grasp. Then she snarled at her fiercely. Irina whimpered and tried to break Bella's grasp.

I knew that both of them deserved this, and even though I was known for my compassion, I couldn't help but be a little happy that the world was getting rid of at least one nuisance today. The human male population would be that much safer because of what was happening right now.

Bella kept smiling that terrifying smile at Irina, never breaking eye contact. I could also tell that Jasper had stopped torturing Tanya while still keeping a firm grasp around her neck, in order to allow her to watch her sister die.

Bella's fingers glowed even brighter and Irina let out a strangled cry. Suddenly, Irina's eyes began to turn white and her skin began to pale even more. She looked sickly, almost like the Volturi except worse. Her sobs became more desperate and gurgled as the seconds turned into minutes. Whatever Bella was doing, she was not making Irina's death a peaceful one.

Unexpectedly, Irina began to spit up blood. Blood…

Vampires don't bleed, let alone vomit…

Oh my God…

Bella was turning Irina back into a human.

When Irina's skin seemed to soften Bella let her go. I could tell that Irina was still part vampire because she still had no heartbeat. My only guess as to why Bella stopped her transformation in the middle was so that she did not exert too much of her power. This alone was still unbelievable.

Irina fell to the ground limply and started to sob uncontrollably.

Tanya was frozen in shock, so much so that when Jasper released her, she did not move a muscle. In fact, I believe that all of us were frozen.

Both Jasper and Bella crouched over Irina's shaking form and started to circle around her in an intimidating fashion. Still they managed to look strikingly beautiful and their slow circle looked more like a war dance.

This was so very intriguing. Even if this was the most brutal scene unfolding before my eyes, I couldn't look away. It was too fascinating to watch.

After circling for a few moments, Jasper stilled at Irina's legs while Bella was at her arms. Jasper leaned down to take both of Irina's legs, one in each hand, at the same time that Bella did the same thing with her arms. They were perfectly synchronized, and again I found myself completely and utterly captivated by the two creatures of God in front of me. So slow that it was painful to even watch, both Jasper and Bella began to pull in opposite directions. The sounds of bones breaking and soft flesh tearing filled my ears, along with the horrible piercing scream that Irina was emitting. Suddenly, all four of her limbs were disconnected from her body and it clicked.

Bella did not stop in the middle of Irina's transformation so that we weren't noticed, she stopped in the middle so that Irina would feel more pain.

Vampire's pain was nothing compared to human pain. When a vampire's limbs are torn off it hurts like hell, but it can be reattached in no time. But when a human's limb is torn off, the pain is so bad that sometimes the victims go into shock and die. This is in no way discounting the fact that a vampire's pain threshold is much higher than a human's but since Bella only made Irina half human, Irina felt her limbs being torn off like a human, but her pain was amplified by her vampire mind, making it unimaginable.

Bella really did think of everything. Even in her non-coherent state of mind.

When Irina's limbs were successfully dislodged from her body, Bella piled them up and lit them on fire. She picked up Irina's disfigured torso and sat it in front of the fire so that she could watch her precious limbs burn. Irina was a screaming, sobbing, bloody mess, and I wished that they would just put her out of her misery already.

While they let Irina watch the flames that held her smoldering limbs, Jasper and Bella turned to where Tanya was standing eyes wide in horror and mouth hanging open gaping like a fish out of water.

Both of them stalked over to her and began circling her much like they did with Irina, looking very predatory, as if they were stalking their prey, which in this case isn't too far off. Tanya was even too scared to beg and that was something. Tanya's mouth was always running.

Then Bella spoke in a voice that matched her terrifyingly beautiful predatory look,

"Well Tanya, what did you think? Was that proof enough to you that you should fear us?"

"Y-y-y-ye-yes" Tanya stuttered out

"If you ever lie to us again, you see your little friend over there by the fire?" Bella taunted

The question was rhetorical, but Tanya being Tanya nodded dumbly.

Both Jasper and Bella smiled wickedly at the frightened Tanya. She looked about ready to pass out and that was impossible for vampires, then again it seems that with Jasper and Bella around, nothing is impossible anymore.

"Yes, well lie to us again and what we did to her will look like a peaceful death compared to what we will do to you. Trust me." Bella smiled evilly. I couldn't stop the shiver from creeping up my spine at Bella's words, because I knew that this was no empty threat, and they would enjoy killing her.

"B-b-but she's not dead yet." Tanya muttered stupidly

Boy this girl never learns

"No..no she is not…yet" Jasper sneered while he smiled sinfully at Tanya

With that both Jasper and Bella flitted over to where Irina was on the ground and together hand in hand, they kicked her torso into the fire. The flames burst higher and Jasper and Bella broke out into hysterical laughter. I had to remind myself that they were sent from God himself, otherwise I would think that they came from the pits of hell. It was truly a horrifying sight to watch.

After a couple of minutes Bella and Jasper calmed down and simply watched the flames lick the burning body of what was once Irina. After another few minutes they turned to face us slowly and I could tell that they were still not in control of themselves and this scared me more than anything. I feared for my own life, but more than that, I feared for my wife and mate and my family, Denali coven included.

But before anything else could happen, Jasper and Bella took off running, at a speed that we could not see, towards the woods, hopefully in order to get their control back.

Everyone stared after them except Tanya who seemed to still be in shock. Serves her right, she truly has no idea how lucky she was today…

After an immeasurable time of staring into the woods waiting for their return, I broke the silence,

"Come, we can go inside to wait for them. Alice, do you know when they will be returning?"

"No I can't get a clear read on them." Alice said in a frustrated tone as she rubbed her temples

"Well don't wear yourself out; we'll just wait for them inside."

Everyone nodded and turned to head inside, there we would wait for the famed God and Goddess of War to return.
