Chapter 11
EMPOV:
After my shower I quickly dried off and headed into the bedroom to see my angel laying asleep on top of the covers. She has had a long day and was truly exhausted. As tired as she was, she still took the time to give me one of the most memorable experiences of my life.
When we had entered the bedroom earlier I truly had been confused, there were towels across the bed and candles lit all around the room. And by the bed there was some kind of warmer, with a bottle in it. Then Bella had instructed me, to take of my shirt and to lay on my stomach. I wasn't quite sure what was going on but I had a feeling it was going to be something great. After I was laying on my stomach, I was a little more than surprised when my angel climbed on top of me. But nothing could have prepared me for the warmth I suddenly felt on my back and then her warm hand traveling all over my torso and then my arms, spreading the warmth evenly. I don't think I have ever, truly felt as content as I had in that moment. My angel kept it up her ministrations until she was exhausted.
While soothing, the experience was also highly erotic. I couldn't even find in in myself to care that I had popped an erection right in front of her. By the look on her face, she had certainly noticed it, but how could she not, yeah I'm a big boy.
After giving her one hell of kiss, in gratitude I had excused myself to go take a shower. And I'd say by the telling smirk on her face she knew I needed to go take care of business. I would like to have shown my gratitude longer, but if I did not find release soon I knew I was going to explode, and at this point in our relationship, I knew I could not ask her for help.
I had to think of something to show her my gratitude though. After all she had just given me one of the most memorable experiences of my life.
Coming out of my musing, I moved over to my angel picked her up and cradled her with one arm while I pulled the bedding down. I then put her in bed and climbed in next to her pulling the covers up over us both. My poor angel was so exhausted, she did not even stir from all the movement.
As my perfect Bells lay sleeping beside me, I just relaxed and pondered our future together, and my hopes for us. A couple hours after light had shown threw the windows Bella finally began to stir, this is truly the happiest time for me each day.
After getting ready for our day I go downstairs to watch my angel eat. My family has noticed my infatuation with watching her eat, but what can I say I'm just weird I guess.
We went into the living room and were watching television, when Alice went into a vision, and informed of three nomadic vampires, who were curious coming as the door bell ring. She explained that one of them was in the company of a human mate as well.
Carlisle invited them in and I saw they had crimson eyes as to be expected. I instantly put my angel on my lap and wrapped my arms around her wanting them to see she was mine. I was also worried that she would feel fear and did this to comfort my mate as well.
"Hello my name is Laurent, these are my companions James and Victoria" He said with a slight Cajun accent.
Carlisle then introduced us all including Bella. I had noticed they did not introduce the human with them obviously so had Bella.
"Hello, you are?" She asked
"My god, don't you have any control over your pet" the red head, Victoria sneered.
"We realize you are curious and have extended our hospitality to you, but while you are here, we ask that you do not disrespect Bella, she is Emmett's mate and is a highly valued member of this family" Carlisle said in a tone which let them know he meant business.
"My companions meant no disrespect I can assure you" Laurent said giving Victoria a pointed look. "We truly are curious about your coven" He continued
"We do not see ourselves as coven, but as a family unit" Carlisle corrected
"I noticed your eyes are an unusual color" James spoke for the first time.
Carlisle then explained our diet to them and his history and how he had come to discover the diet. Laurent seemed truly interested, while the other two seemed almost disgusted. Carlisle than suggested they all go hunt with them, so they could see our diet in action so to speak.
Laurent agreed, but if the other two weren't going, then there was no way in hell I would leave Bella here by herself with them. The other two agreed to come along, after Carlisle assured them that their human companion would be safe staying home with the others. I noticed their human girl hadn't so much as made a peep and was standing in a completely submissive state.
We all decided to go hunting, all the males from our family and their coven. I did not like leaving Bella, one bit but figured she was safe enough, this human girl, would cause her no harm, besides the girls in our family could more than handle things.
BPOV:
They all headed out hunting, and I again tried to introduce myself to my fellow human. My fellow human that just sounds so weird, my god my life really has changed.
"Hi, I'm Bella, what is your name" I asked
"I'm Ashley, you are really lucky to have been taken by a mate with such means" she said while eyeing up the house.
"Yes, he is quite the catch" I answered smiling
"Wow, I can't believe he let it slide when you spoke out of turn, you really should be more careful" she said quietly
"He doesn't' tell me what to say or do" I replied honestly
"I'm sorry to hear that. He must not care about you as much as my Laurent cares for me" she replied
Is this girl for real. I had figured she was just shy, not that she needed permission to speak, she thinks that's love. "I wouldn't say that, Emmett loves me very much" I tell her truthfully
"I'm sorry if I insulted you, I just can't see how he can love you, if he isn't preparing you to be his perfect mate" she said while looking at her feet
"I'm sorry, I don't understand?" I ask curiously
"I shouldn't say this, Laurent will have my hide" she says hesitantly. I give her a smile as reassurance. "We travel quite a bit, so I have seen my share of human mates. And in every case we are the same, we are trained to meet our mates needs perfectly before we are turned, yet your mate seems to have done nothing to prepare you. If he truly loved you he should be conditioning you." She said
I could tell she believed every words she said. Holy shit this girl had been brain washed. I was about to say so when Rose came up beside me and threw her arm around me as if to say shut up. I took her hint.
Ashley asked me about how I had met Emmett, so I told us our story, she seemed amazed. Ashley then told me her story which was nowhere near as nice.
Ashley much like myself was just a girl going to high school in Montana. One day while she was walking home, Laurent had spotted her and grabbed her. He took her to her home, and had her say goodbye to her family and she had never seen them again. She told me about how she had been conditioned, which involved physical and emotional abuse as far as I was concerned, but she seemed to think it was great. Ashley went onto tell me the stories of other human mates she had met, and compared to some she had it really good.
After hearing all this I realized just how much I truly loved Emmett, I mean I already knew I loved him, but hearing how different he truly was just made me realize what a great man he truly is.
The boys and the nomadic vampires returned from their hunt and we were once again gathered in the living room.
"Thank you for your hospitality, and for being so open with us." Laurent said
"Your quite, welcome, it was nice meeting you all" Carlisle told them
"Well I don't know about the other two, but I know I am not changing my diet anytime soon" James said smiling he then turned to me and Emmet and addressed only Emmett totally ignoring me. "If you are interested I could take Bella off of your hand for a while, I would be willing to train her to be your proper mate if you wish" James said sneering at me
At this point Emmet moved in front of me and started growling. And let me tell you, that boy can growl..
"James meant no disrespect I can assure you, he is just unaccustomed to your way of life. We will take our leave not, and again, thank you so much for your hospitality" Laurent said glaring at James.
Carlisle just shrugged it off, probably just wanting to get these nomads out of his house before any trouble could ensue.
The Vampires left and we all sighed a breath of relief.
"Well that was fun" I joked. Which had every vampire looking at me like I was crazy.
Emmett finally relaxed and had his arms wrapped around me again. Unfortunately, thanks to the unexpected company most of the day was lost. Following dinner we gathered in the living room to watch a movie, as the girls had chosen the movie last time we were watching some sci-fi movie called 2012. And to tell the truth the movie sucked, who wrote that shit.
As we were watching the horrid movie Emmet stretched out on the couch we were sharing and laid his head in my lap I absent mindedly started stroking his hair running my nails along his scalp. As I was doing this he started purring loudly. I then notice all eyes in the room on us, so I decided to ask a question I had wondered about. "How and why do you guys purr?" I asked.
Jasper decided to field this one "With the exception of Emmett, no one in this room has ever purred" seeing the look of confusion on my face he continued. "The mating bond you and Emmet share is the most special and unique bond in the vampire world. The rest of us chose to be mates, it doesn't mean we love each other any less though. Your bond is one that exceeds the physical and emotional bond of normal couples. You are actually connected on a mental level, though I don't know for sure what it means. I do know that in the case of the rest of our bonds, if anything was to happen to one of our mates it would be near impossible for us to move on. In the case of your bond, it would be absolutely impossible to move on. And to answer your question as to why Emmett is purring, I can tell you that he is the more content than I have ever felt from him."
I then realized that, thanks to me everyone had missed a chunk of the movie. "I'm sorry, I interrupted the movie, do you guys want me to back it up" I asked as I reached for the remote
"NO" everyone yelled in unison. Yeah this movie definitely blew chunks.
I suddenly realized that tomorrow was Monday and we had to go back to the hell hole as I've dubbed it Forks High. I groaned
"What's wrong angel?" Emmett asked
"I just realized tomorrow is Monday, and we have to go back to school" I admitted
"Tomorrow is sunny, we're not going to school" Alice stated
"Even better I get to go by myself" I grumbled
"You aren't going to school silly" Emmett stated
"Tell that to Charlie" I added
"I already did, Charlie and I agreed after the incident last time, that any day, I don't go to school, you don't go either. If I call him Charlie would happily call you in sick, but Carlisle can handle that." Emmett said smiling.
"And I see us going hunting well obviously not you Bella" Alice says excitedly.
"Absolutely not, I am not leaving Bella alone, here tomorrow" Emmett says in a huff
"And just what am I, son, chopped liver" Esme says in a teasing tone
Esme than continued "Carlisle is going to be a the hospital tomorrow, and it will give Bella and I time to get to know each other. I will be here until three"
"We will be back by five" Alice states
"Absolutely not, either Esme stays until we return or I'm coming back at three" Emmett says
"Alice told me earlier it would be overcast again in the late afternoon and I have my home and garden club to go to, you all have an outlet outside this family to interact with the human world and this is mine. Esme said pointedly to Emmett
"Look everyone, the human can handle herself for two hours alone, I promise not to burn your house down" I huff
"Angel, no one thinks you are going to burn OUR house down, I just don't like you being by yourself anywhere" Emmett says. I did not escape me how he enunciated the word our.
"Emmy, please it bothers me that I am keeping you from your family all the time, please promise me you will enjoy yourself and you will not cut your trip short" I pleaded with him
"Fine, but I don't like it" Emmett huffed
With that we headed off to bed.
EMPOV:
After a good nights sleep for Bella, I was off to hunt with my family. But I still didn't like it, not one bit. I don't like leaving her by herself not for two hours not even for five minutes. Five minutes, perhaps I am being too clingy.
ESPOV:
Carlisle had already left for the hospital and the rest of the family left to go hunting, I finally get to spend some quality time with Bella. I still feel horrible about how I treated her when I first met her. She held my son's life in her hands, I had to do something.
I already feel like this girl is my daughter. After hearing the family tell me everything that happened last week and finally getting to spend some time with her these past few days, it was hard not to love her.
As I was finishing preparing Bella's breakfast she entered into the kitchen "Good morning Bella, how did you sleep" I told her
"Really well, thank you and thank you for yet another perfect breakfast" she said as she was looking at all I had made for her.
We both sat down as she ate, and I had remembered some of what she had said about her mom the other morning. It had surprised me to hear that not only had her mother not cooked for her but Bella had routinely cooked for her mom. What kind of mother does that?
"Bella why don't you tell me about your family?" I suggested
Bella told me why she calls her mother Renee and not mom. Her mother preferred her daughter call her by her first name. As I listened I found myself getting madder and madder. When Bella was younger her mother used to pull her out of school on a regular basis so she could go off and pursue her interests, that is until the school alerted Charlie of what was gong on and he threatened to fight her for custody. Bella also recounted times where the utilities would be shut off because her mother would forget to manage her finance. By the time Bella was ten she was actually paying the bills. Bella obviously loved this woman, but I honestly couldn't help but feel animosity towards her. She then explained how her mom met Phil, and how great he was for her, but Bella was holding her mom back so she sent her to stay with Charlie. At this point I was fuming.
Bella's life with Charlie was far different. Bella, still did all the cooking, but Charlie was at least responsible enough to pay the bills. Charlie insisted his daughter call him dad. They definitely had a more appropriate parent child relationship. She than explained their rather bazaar relationship, both didn't like to show their emotions and were more content being together silently but still loved each other. Her relationship with her father is a little hard for me to understand but it was easy to see, that she was happy with it.
I then told Bella about my life, what I remember about my human life. I told her about my suffering at the hands of an abusive husband, the loss of my child and my attempt at suicide. Actually it was more than an attempt, if it hadn't been for Carlisle I would surly be dead. After telling her of my life she had tears in her eyes, which was not my intention. I then told her how my tale ended up happily and told her of my life with Carlisle and my children.
I then noticed the time, wow, when we get talking, I guess we really get talking. It was almost time for me to leave, so I excused myself and got ready to go, but not before preparing Bella lunch.
BPOV:
Wow, Esme's life before this family had been so traumatic. Carlisle really has done a lot for her, he truly is an amazing man, almost as amazing as his wife who was able to bounce back from all that and yet be such an amazing mother.
Esme than came back down stairs ready to leave for her club meeting "I'm going to head out now dear, the gang should be back from their hunt in a few hours, is there anything you need before I leave" Esme said warmly
"No, I'm just going to head up to Emmett's room and read for awhile to pass the time until they return." I tell her.
She smiled at me grabbed her things and heads out the door. This house is so big that it is kind of creepy to be here alone. I headed up the stairs and grabbed a good book and climbed on top of the bed to read.
After about an hour I heard the phone downstairs ringing, I thought about answering it, but it's not my place to answer their phone. I then heard a noise downstairs. Yeah their back. I quickly jumped out of bed and headed downstairs to see how everyone is doing. I walk into the living room, and my heart just stopped, before me is not one of the Cullen's, but James. Just as I was about to turn and run, someone grabbed me from behind and shoved some kind of cloth over my face. I smelled some kind of solvent, that was burning my nose and eyes when I started to get dizzy. Oh god I hope Emmett come home soon, I can only hope ……….
EMPOV:
We were having a great time hunting. I actually found a grizzly I was so stoked. We met after our hunt and I began to recount my encounter with the beast when Alice slipped into a vision.
"Oh Fuck!" Edward exclaimed
"What's wrong?" I asked, concerned that it could be about Bella
"I didn't see it, he must have seen we weren't their and made up his decision last second, James is going to our house, I can't be sure, but I think he's going to grab Bella" Alice cried
"WHAT!" I bellowed and took off running everyone was running with me, it would take us at least an hour to get there.
"Rose call Bella, tell her to get out of the house right now" Alice instructed
As we ran Rose dialed the house only to get no answer. Edward than pushed himself full speed so he could get there almost twice as fast.
"You, be careful Edward" Rose shouted after him.
God damn it, what the hell is wrong with me. Why did I not listen to my fucking gut instinct. This is the second time I've failed my angel. If anything happens to her I knew I would wish for death. Hell if Jasper was right I might just die, good.
We kept running full speed and Rose called both Esme and Carlisle to get home as soon as possible, they were closer and could possibly get there at least at the same time as Edward.
After what seemed an eternity the house came into view and we could see the front door was off it's hinges. I immediately panicked, and went running into house not paying any attention of any danger around me. Once inside I found Edward, Esme and Carlisle.
Carlisle was holding a rag. He sniffed it and said "chloroform"
"Where's Bella" I yelled at them
"I'm sorry Emmett she's not hear her scent ended in the drive way they must have acquired a car" Edward said apologetically
Esme than started sobbing "This is all my fault, why did I put a stupid club in front of my own daughter."
"NO Esme this is completely my fault you shouldn't have to change your plans for my responsibility. I should have come home early" I told her
Alice than started sobbing "I should never have pushed for you to come hunting or suggested we stay later"
"Would you all fucking knock it off, this isn't helping in the slightest. Alice I know you can't see Bella but you can see them, keep trying to get a fix on their position. I'm going to call Peter and see if he has any information on these vampires we are dealing with." Jasper said taking full charge of the situation.
I couldn't be more pissed with myself, I was seething with anger, I wanted to kill James, Victoria and Laurent, hell I'd even kill the human.
Jasper got a hold of Peter and gave him all the information he had. He knew of these vampires. James was very old and lethal, he was trained in fighting, possibly even better than Jasper or Peter. Victoria was a fair fighter but, she had the ability to flee sticky situations and was almost impossible to catch. Laurent was shrewd, but was no fighter. Peter said he had a feeling Laurent was not involved. Laurent would not risk his mate in something so stupid. Plus the vampire laws were clear when it came to messing with another vampire's mate.
"That's it" Rosalie said "We'll call the Volturi"
"I'm afraid Rose, that won't work. The Volturi would never side with us, over a human drinker, they would fear the repercussions from the vampire community." Carlisle said grimly
"He's right, I already decided that to force a vision, and they refused to help" Alice said defeated
For the first time in my life I wished that I had not chosen the vegetarian diet, if I had red eyes my mate would not be in the danger she is facing now.
Jasper put peter on speaker phone. "I have charlotte looking into any holding these three may have, just in case Laurent is helping them. However, I do not think they would make such an amateurish mistake." Peter said
"We've got nothing, what if they already did something to her" Alice wailed
"Rest assured Bella, is still alive, if they had done something, Emmett would be falling completely to pieces right now. He has a strong connection with Bella and if it suddenly ended he would know it." Peter spoke softly
"We've got nothing to go on then" I said grimly
RPOV:
Emmett was just pacing back in forth, suddenly he punched a hole into the drywall and started sobbing. Esme ran over to him and took him into her arms "We'll get her back baby, I promise we will" Esme said while sobbing with him.
For the first time I was truly afraid for this family. Not only could we lose Emmett, but now a sister and a daughter and a true friend.
A/N Hopefully that wasn't too much. If your worried, I'm suddenly going to be mean and start offing main characters I promise I won't, but I reserve the right to do whatever I want to the others J
