Chapter 11: Double-Sided Revenge
This chapter is one I'm not too proud of. I had zero inspiration, but I didn't want to keep you guys waiting. I'll try to make things better, but I will warn now that this story is soon going to come to an end. I'm having a hard time to carry it on without any brainstorming help. Besides, this is my first fanfiction, it's just a little kickstarter. It's helped me see what I need to work on and what I like about my writing. My next story will hopefully be better :) I'll put up a poll for options of my next story - which I want my amazing followers opinions on! Thanks for baring with me through this!
On with the story!
Unknown
I watched the new edition to the Cullen family closely, making sure to keep distance so I would not be discovered. She really was a sight to behold. This girl would be a marvelous prize to have in my possession. There were only two problems. Her coven, and her interest in the God of War.
Her coven was of a large size - the largest I've seen. Six members I've noticed, but I could have sworn there were others. This coven was legendary for it's powerful bond with each other and their abnormal amount of members, thus making them lethal in battle. This was a coven to watch out for, but I'd find someway around them. Somehow.
Alice POV
After Emmett put me back together, I made Hell look like paradise. I was screaming and whining about my plan not working. After all, I had a job to fulfill that I had failed on. Now my boss was going to come after me and make me pay the price. Emmett held me all the while, promising the Major would be back soon. Believe me, I was in no rush for his return.
After 2 hours he arrived and with none other than Isabella in tow. He was holding her hand and looking content besides the tightening around his eyes when he looked at me. This just sparked my fury. How dare he just throw me away like this? I saved him from his past - I deserved better than this!
The two looked at each other and seemed to have a silent conversation judging by Bella's nod and smirk before they looked away and back to me. The nuisance spoke first.
"Hi Alice, how nice it is to see you again!" she seemed too cheerful.
"Isabella." I gave her a stiff nod. "Jasper, my darling!" I gave him a warm smile, to which Bella growled at. Good.
"Alice. Are you gonna cooperate now? You wouldn't want a repeat of before would you?" he cocked an eyebrow at me as he reassuringly squeezed Bella's hand. I glared at the action before turning my pitch black eyes back to the man I used to know so well.
"Why should I Jazzy? Why should I listen to anything you tell me? After all, you did leave me alone for quite some time with no explanation. When you left I couldn't see your future... I didn't know if you'd come back for me... I was so alone Jazzy..." I tried to look pained and cast my gaze down to the white carpet.
"I was having a hard time adjusting to this life, Alice. I didn't want to cause any unneeded trouble so I did the first thing that came to mind and left. I didn't want to hurt you like that. But now that I've found Bella, I'm glad I left when I did." he had the nerve to turn and lean to give her a long gentle kiss, which made her grin ear to ear. "Now, I think my woman has a few words she'd like to say to you." he smiled at her as he let her walk in front of him, still holding her hand. She knelt in front of me and cocked her head to the side as a soft smile played on her lips.
"You crazy little child. You thought you would kill me? You truly thought that the Cullen's would let anything happen to me? You lied and deceived me. You're only hurting yourself now. I'm a victorious fighter. I've won this battle. I beat you. Now I've gained the best prize of all - your Jasper." she drew out the last two words before she stood and kicked me in the stomach, leaving a gaping hole. I screamed and shuddered, looking up at her with wild eyes. I struggled in Emmett's grip but to no avail.
Bella went back over and curled into Jasper's chest while he wrapped his arms around her. He was chuckling and smiling into her hair, and I could've sworn I heard a soft "I love you.". He started purring like a cat in her ear, that's when it hit me.
"You... you're... you're mates? How-why-" I was so utterly confused. Vampires have the ability to purr, but it's only to their mates. It's mainly used to comfort, but we can do it whenever we wanted. I'd never heard any of the family do it... which was strange... I'd have to look into it. "Jasper... Wh-why? Why would you do this to me?" I looked up at him as I spoke in a whisper. He looked back down at me, and shook his head.
"I want you to feel at least a fraction of what you put Bella through. Nobody hurts my family and leaves unpunished." he glared at me before turning to Bella "Let's go, Angel. Let's watch the sunset." he winked at her before leaving the room. I was absolutely fuming.
Now it was only sitting and waiting. I was fed once in a while, but not nearly as much as I needed. I was too weak to escape, locked in the basement for months. I couldn't do anything. I was powerless against the family. I had to get out of here - and now.
Currently the whole family left to go hunting. The thought made venom pool quickly in my mouth. I moaned in longing for blood - human or otherwise. It seemed my desires were answered when a stranger randomly climbed through the small rectangular window, dropping down before reaching back and dragging an unconscious human through to drop it to the cement floor. He smiled kindly at me as he strode towards me.
"You're gonna need this." he slit the jugular and brought it to my mouth where I greedily sucked the body dry in seconds. After I finished, I looked curiously up at him.
"What's your name? Why are you here?" he chuckled.
"I'm just a friend. I'm here to battle this coven with you. I need the girl."
Esme POV
I highly disapproved of the way Alice was being treated, starved and left alone in the confines of the basement. True, she may have deserved it, but that still didn't make it right. By the 7th month I had had enough. I was the only one home, so I made my way down the stairs - only to see the basement bare. I smelled Alice's recent scent, but she was no where to be seen. Suddenly I was brought into a choke hold by a pair of strong muscular arms. I struggled, but couldn't break free; I was squeezed tighter. Then Alice appeared in front of me. I looked at her with scared eyes, silently pleading for her to get me out.
"Oh dearest Esme... I don't think that's possible. I'm afraid you will only add to the trouble already present. You'll run to Carlisle, tattle about these events and then they'll be after me and my friend here." she gestured to the man behind me. He gave a dark chuckle which chilled me to the core. "We can't have that happen now can we?"
"Please... Alice...I'll...Do...Anything..." I managed to gasp out. I was desperate now. I wasn't about to leave my family. My Carlisle.
"Anything? Or is that just desperation talking?" she looked above my head and her gazed went unfocused as she went into a vision. She came back out of it and immediately smiled. "She seems to be telling the truth." she looked above me at the man whose name I have yet to learn and nodded once. He let me go and I fell to the ground, my long caramel hair falling in my face. I felt it being moved by Alice's hand and she peered into my face. "I want you to fight against the family with us."
"Fight against... the family? Alice, I don't understand. Why would you choose me? I'm not much of a fighter..."
"You're the weakest link in the family, no one would suspect you to be involved." she walked around me in a slow paced circle, examining me. "We will train you. My friend has battle experience." she stopped to look down on me. "Do you agree to join us to bring down the most powerful family in the supernatural world?" I could do nothing more than agree with her. I would find some way to warn my family, then I'd go along with Alice's plan. I hoped this worked, or else I'd lose everything dear to me all over again.
