Disclaimer: I don't own it because if it was mine Bella would have said to hell with Edward and stole Jasper from Alice, Jacob wouldn't have been included, and Peter would have been more of a prominent character.

I know and I'm so sorry. I just can't get into the Major's head like I can with Jasper. Because I had such a hard time this will be the last Major POV until the fight which is just a few chapters away.

It's a short chapter to and for that I'm sorry as well. I hope you still enjoy it though and you will get the next update on time.

Major

"Every one of you are completely fucking useless," I growled as I looked at the pathetic excuse of vampires in front of me. I'd been training them for weeks and they still couldn't seem to learn shit. All of them hated me, but I couldn't give a shit and because of that a few were still defiant. The others had learned to not back talk, but three couldn't keep their mouths shut and right on cue one of them spoke.

"Maybe we would learn if you would join in instead of just telling us what to do." Jesse hissed.

"You don't want me to do that.'

"Why? Because you say you're the best. Well none of us have seen it, so I'm starting to think its all talk."

"Major." Maria said in warning.

I looked over to where she was walking toward me and said, "Too late."

Reaching up I pulled my shirt from my body, smirking when all of them-Jesse included-took a step back. They'd seen my neck and face, but had no idea the extent of my scars.

Jesse was afraid, really fucking afraid, but that wasn't going to sway me from what I was going to do and neither did his apology.

"Look Major I'm sorry."

"You don't get to back out now, but I do appreciate your sacrifice for the lesson I need to teach."

"What sacrifice?"

"Let's just say if you want to tell anyone goodbye then do it. I'll give you 30 seconds to do so."

"Wh…at?" He sputtered his fear sky-high.

"You honestly thought that you were going to walk away after your disrespect. Oh no. After I fuck you up, you will burn."

"Mistress?" Jesse pled looking toward Maria.

She was excited about what was to come and ignored him.

He swallowed thickly seeing that she was going to do nothing, but then I felt his resolve as he crouched down. I did have to hand it to him since apparently he wasn't going to go down without a fight, granted it wasn't going to help.

I stood with my arms crossed across my chest and waited for him to make a move. It didn't take long.

With a growl he leapt the distance between us. When he was close to slamming into me I reached my hand up and gripped his throat, slamming him down to the ground.

My knee firmly implanted itself against his chest while my hands were wrapped around his wrist and throat. "Lesson one: Don't fucking talk back."

Keeping my knee where it was I used the leverage to rip his hand off, tossing it to Maria who promptly lit it on fire.

I flung him a way from me and crouched down. He turned and tried to run, but the wall of vampires kept him from making it to far. I leapt this time and landed with a thunderous crash on his back, sinking my teeth into his shoulder.

Relishing in the cry of pain as my venom burned him I said, "Lesson two: If you can't adhere to lesson one, do it so I don't hear."

I wasted no time in slamming him to the ground again. With that I quickly removed his limbs, tossing one at a time to Maria. Holding Jesse by the back of the neck I made him watch as she burned them.

Leaning closer I whispered, "Lesson Three: I am the best."

Biting into his neck I ripped his head from his body and threw it to Maria. She burned it and his torso while I wiped the venom from my chin and turned to the other two who liked to speak up as well on occasion. "I would suggest you two learn from his mistake because I won't hesitate to send you to hell too. Got it?"

The both nodded and took a step back.

"Good, now that the trash has been dealt with why don't ya'll get to work and show me you aren't useless or I'll be forced to make another example."

The scramble to find a partner was almost comical, but they finally all got paired up and started the techniques I told them about.

By the end of the afternoon they appeared to have gotten their shit together somewhat, but they were still no where near where I wanted them. Bailey, Riley, and Matthew had actually even managed to step up their game more and I would think about rewarding them if they continued to do so.

Calling everyone to order I waited for them to gather around before I spoke, "Better, but you still have work to do. If I have to give more motivation to get that to happen I will." I looked each in the eye to let them know exactly what kind of motivation I was talking about. They all nodded in understanding and I waved my hand in dismissal.

Turning to Maria she said, "We need to figure things out."

"Like what?"

"Like when you want to go take care of business."

"When the time is right. I won't go into a fight knowing I can lose and right now I can lose."

"They could be on their way here you know that right? Bree could have gone to them and told them everything."

"Then they know how many of us there are and they won't be stupid enough to walk into what they would think would be a slaughter. Bree was kept away from the fighting so she has no clue how bad they are, plus they know we can take out their powers. "

"Fine, but I'm warning you Major if they show up I'll be forced to…"

I didn't let her finish as I grabbed her throat and jerked her to me. "Don't you ever fucking threaten me." I hissed. "You may be my creator, but we all know who is stronger."

"Let me go."

I threw her away from me and smirked as she hissed out, "Bastard."

"Whore."

"Fuck you."

"You wish."

She looked like she was going to attack me and her emotions were leaning that way, but she finally thought better of it and settled for sneering at me.

Rolling my eyes I said, "I'm going to hunt. I'll be back later."

She didn't say a word as I ran from the field. When I made it two towns away I slowed and started hunting my prey. It didn't take me long and after disposing of the man I made my way back to the compound.

Walking through the hallways to my room I thought of what each person needed to work on more to get them ready for the coming fight. Some wouldn't be ready no matter how long I worked with them, but they would die with the other side and we would replace them. Not really a big deal.

Glancing up I had just enough time to see my door when a snarl ripped through the air and something slammed into my back, pushing me forward a few steps. I didn't even think as I reached behind me and gripped the long hair, jerking her around and slamming her against the wall. She was baring her teeth and growling as I pinned her with my arm across her throat.

"You need to fucking explain and quickly."

"You killed him?" She shrieked.

"Who the hell are you talking about?"

"Jesse, my mate. You killed him for no reason."

"You have got to be fucking kidding me. If I don't have enough shit on my plate, now I have deal with your stupid vendetta."

"It's not stupid. He loved me like I loved him."

"I'm an empath remember and I've felt nothing of that."

"And I'm a power blocker." She sneered. "I knew Maria would forbid our being together so we kept it hidden."

Blowing out a breath in anger I said, "I should kill you, but we need your power. So you better get your shit together. I don't give a fuck if he was your mate, he should have learned some respect. Something you apparently need to learn as well. If you ever try to attack me again I will kill you, needed or not." She didn't say anything else which was the smartest thing she'd done. Dropping my arm I backed away, laughing at the hatred written all over her face.

That laughter seemed to push her past stupid and straight into complete fucking delusional because the next words out of her mouth sealed her fate.

"I will kill you, even if I have to switch sides to do it."

A red haze descended across my vision and she was in pieces before I thought about it, her screams piercing the air. Pulling a lighter from my pocket I quickly set her on fire. As I stood watching her burn I heard the running of many feet.

Maria was in the lead and I glanced over briefly as she came to a stop beside me. The anger on her face was palpable in her emotions as well and I knew she was trying hard not to physically attack me.

"That better not be who I fucking think it is."

"If you're thinking Bailey then you'd be right." I said nonchalantly.

"What the fuck Major? We needed her."

"Then she shouldn't have fucking attacked me."

"You should have let it go."

"Would you have?"

"With her yes, because we don't have time to find another one like her."

"Then you're getting soft."

"Fuck you Major. You were the one who didn't want to go into the fight with any chance of dying. Well you just made that a big fucking possibility."

"Then we'll let this be a new lesson." I said turning to the vampires at the end of the hall. "If any of you don't show signs of improvement tomorrow I will burn them too. I suggest all of you work on that tonight before I meet up with you in the morning." When none made any sign of taking my advice I yelled, "MOVE!"

They disappeared in the blink of an eye and I turned to Maria who was glaring at me. "What?"

"Nothing."

"Good. You might want to get out of my way and go help your little minions so you don't lose anymore tomorrow."

"And what are you going to do?"

"I am going to go take a shower and then I might think of the most painful ways to rip someone apart. I'm sure there will be at least one that I can make another example out of tomorrow." I said before walking to my door and opening it.

Slamming it behind me I did just what I said I would do, all the while laughing at Maria as she yelled at the others.
