BELLA'S POV
I watched early the next morning as Carlisle, Rose, and Esme carried down the triplets. Annabella whined all the way down. She cried when Jasper and I kissed her goodbye promising we'd see them in a few days down in Texas at the strong hold. I don't know if she believed we wouldn't come or if just the idea of being away from us was honestly disturbing to her after their abduction. The boys handled it much better. Jasper handed all three kids a cell phone pre-programmed with our cell numbers in them so that they could quickly access us at any time.
As soon as they were out of sight taking a small contingent of guards with them, Jasper order training drills of all the guard. I joined in the training but quickly became agitated. I was distracted and Jasper growling and barking at me was pissing me off. My kids had been sent away so my focus was on worrying about them not about doing some fucked up mock drill with bullies.
"Damn it Bella concentrate." Jasper snapped at me and I growled at him. "Again."
I again took on three guards and lost my concentration and ended up on my back. I was sick of this shit. I got pissed and blew one of them off me and shocked him completely incapacitating him. Jasper growled and I snapped. "You know what, fuck this shit. I'm not going to stand out here and let you get your sick twisted kicks watching your asshole guards beat up on me." I turned and stormed off.
"Bella! Get your ass back here you're not done training."
"Fuck that, I'm done Jasper." I continued walking. In hind sight if I had been less agitated, I'd have realized this was a bad call.
"Bella, don't make me tell you again." Jasper growled pissed. I ignored him and slammed the door to the house as I went in.
"Oh shit, me thinks the shit hath hit the fan." Peter snickered just as the door slammed.
I didn't even make the stairs before Jasper had me in hand and tossed me over his shoulder. He carried me downstairs to the basement. I struggled against him trying to get away as the closed the door to the very chamber I had toyed with Victoria in. He slapped me hard on the ass. "Be still if you still want to be able to walk when I'm done with you." He growled.
"I'm not a fucking kid that you can put over your fucking knee and spank Whitlock. Let me the fuck go." I hissed.
"Oh you are very right my pet. My knee won't work for this one." He set me down and pulled my hands up over my head. He pushed me back and spun me. I gasped as I realized my hands were now securely locked into the shackles over my head.
"Jasper." I gasped.
"No, not a sound." He growled and ripped my clothes from my body. "What did I tell you last night Bella?"
"Let me go." I growled then gasped when I felt leather smack hard against my ass. I hissed.
"What did I tell you?" He hissed back as again the leather paddle connected with my ass.
"About what?" I yelled.
"You. Will. Never. Defy. Me. Am. I. Clear?" He accented each word with another smack across my ass. I'm not exactly sure when I went from anger to lust but damn if him paddling me wasn't hot as fuck. He continued until I finally cried out. I heard his growl as he realized I hadn't cried out in pain but in Ecstasy as I had an orgasm. "Damn it Bella, answer me."
"More." I whispered. He sighed and I heard the paddle drop to the floor. He walked up behind me grabbing a fist full of my hair and jerking my head back. I gasped as his teeth again pierced my flesh as he sunk them deep into my shoulder. He growled when I thrashed pushing my ass back into his crotch. He let go of my neck licking the wound to heal it before stepping back away from me.
"Don't fucking move Bella. Not one damn muscle." He hissed and unchained my hands before scooping me up and running with me to the bedroom. I was on the bed with him fucking the hell out of me before my mind could think clearly.
"Please Jasper."
"Please what?" He snapped.
"Please I need to come." I begged and he slid out of me and stepped back.
"You'll come when I tell you that you can come, not one minute before." He growled. He waited until I calmed down and then once again plunged into me. This continued for almost four hours. I was at my snapping point when he growled out telling me to come. I came without a second thought. He kissed me deeply then was gone. I sat staring at the door, he had never fucked me and left. This actually scared me. Jasper had always cuddled with me and talked after sex. I really fucked up this time. Fear began to grip me as I wondered if I had lost the only man I'd ever love.
My mind was in total chaos as I showered and dressed. Daddy's hands began to blare from my phone and I ran to retrieve it knowing it was my daughter. Panic filled me when I heard her crying. "Mommy." My chest constricted. "Mommy, I'm scared I had a bad dream Mommy you and Daddy were mad at each other. I flinched relaxing slightly.
"Honey it was just a bad dream. Mommy and Daddy are fine." I soothed her. I heard Rose in the background trying to coax the phone from her.
"Sweet heart, put Aunt Rose on the phone for a minute then I'll get Daddy for you to talk to him." I sighed.
"Bella, we're in Texas, she's fine it was just a bad dream."
"Thank God. Are the boys alright?"
"Yes, they're all fine. Is everything alright back there?"
"Other than me loosing my temper and Jasper taking a paddle to me? He's pretty upset with me." I sighed.
"Oh shit. Bella that is exactly what she told us happened."
"You're kidding? Maybe another aspect of her gift?" I gasped. "I have to find Jasper." I headed for his office. "Jasper, Rose is on the phone. Annabella called she had a nightmare but it wasn't a nightmare. She saw what happened between you and I earlier. Talk to her Jazz, she's upset about us fighting." He took the phone from me.
"Hey Angel." He smiled as he spoke to her. "How are you?" I stood and watched him a few minutes as he talked to her then turned to leave the room. I hadn't gotten five steps when he called my name and held his hand out to me. I went to him taking his hand and he pulled me into his lap. He kissed my shoulder as he switched from one kid to the other. He hung up the phone and put his arms around me. I sat back into him. We had been sitting like that for a while when all hell broke loose. Peter flew through the door landing on top of Jasper's desk. I stood and my shield shot around the three of us. I growled as three vampires stormed through the door. I could hear fighting all over the compound. Momma wasn't playing nice. Someone was about to die.
The vamp that came at me I shot him through the wall of Jasper's office. I released my shield as Jasper and Peter both shot forward attacking the two as I went through the window ready to kill the vamp that attacked me and my family. It was all on war. Bodies were flying left and right as the guard fought ripping the army apart. There was howl and an influx of wolves into the Frey. I wasn't sure what side they were on at first then I saw one attacking one of the guard. That set me into a rage and I began destroying everything in my path.
I looked over to see my husband in war mode and it turned me on. He was killing everything in his path. A wolf lunged at me and Jasper was on his back ripping into him. I growled and shot an electric jolt through the vampire in front of me. "Bitch" he hissed.
"Bitch?" I raised an eyebrow and hit him with a stronger jolt frying him instantly. "That's Mrs Bitch to you ass hole." I heard Peter chuckle. I felt teeth sink into my shoulder and I roared. I heard Jasper's responding roar and felt something snap. I saw Jasper as he fully became the Reaper. The transformation was captivating so much so that I lost focus on the task at hand. I saw Jasper swoop down on us and heard the metallic ripping sound. I crashed to the ground as again his roar filled the night air. I felt him crouch over me and I could see the guard coming to surround us. I flinched as he shifted tucking me beneath him. Each roar sent chills down my spine he was angry and about to destroy everything and everyone in the area. I closed my eyes as blackness filled my vision. I was floating.
Reality wasn't really clear. I saw my kids, my mate, my family. All in a distance. I'd reach for them and they'd slip just out of my grasp. "Don't go." I whimpered as Annabella ran off. Braxton and Cooper standing just behind her. They turned and followed her as she passed. "Wait, Annabella, please. Boys!" I screamed. Jasper came into view but only for a split second. I watched as Tanya joined him and she took his arm walking off into the field smiling into one another's eyes. "No." I gasped. "I killed you."
"No, you killed our love." Jasper hissed at me over his shoulder. "Shut up and die bitch." I gasped out and cried.
"No please. I love you Jasper, you're my life." I was consumed in total blackness again. I became aware of a scream filling the air and a deep growl surrounding me.
"Mommy." Someone yelled from a distance.
"Carlisle what's happening?" Mom. Mom would help me. Jasper she'd talk to him. Explain to him I had to kill Tanya and Victoria. I knew they were his play mates but they had to die, they hurt our children.
"Don't fucking growl at me Jasper she's my sister." Brianna yelled.
"Baby girl he's not himself. Stay back he'll kill you." Peter. I fought to find the faces belonging to the voices with no success. Another scream ripped through the air and Jasper's growl. Loud and deafening. He was pissed at me. He didn't love me. I couldn't live without him. Blackness again consumed me.
I was floating once again but light filtered in. I could feel something next to me. I could smell blood. I was starving, I needed to feed. I'd do no one any good if I let myself become weakened. "Jasper." I moaned softly fighting my way back to the light.
I heard a purr just before I opened my eyes. The eyes I looked into were pitch black. No white or color anywhere in them. He nuzzled my neck and his purr got louder. "Jasper." I whispered and immediately my lips sought his. His arms wrapped around me and he tucked me under him as the door flew open. His purr turned to a feral growl.
"Mine." He hissed.
"Major, no one is arguing that but Carlisle needs to look at her." Jason was at the foot of the bed and Peter stood off to the side. Emmett and Edward came in followed by Carlisle. "This is going to be bad." I heard Peter sigh.
"No. Mine." Jasper growled at Peter as he moved towards us again.
"Jasper." Peter spoke then all hell broke loose. Jasper lunged from the bed at Jason and the other four male vampires in the room all tackled him at the same time sending him through the wall. I could hear the fighting below.
"Bella, I have to check you quickly. We don't have much time before he breaks free of them. Once he does if I'm in the room, he'll rip me apart." Carlisle explained quickly as he worked. "He's not himself right now. He hasn't been since he carried you here two weeks ago. His inner demon is in control we haven't been able to pull him out. Even the kids can't come close without him wanting to kill them."
"Carlisle, he's coming. Brianna spoke from the window and flashed to the door. I blinked in disbelief she was a vampire? No, she was human. She had never been chosen.
"Get out Brianna, tell all the others to get down on the ground floor. Bella, calm him, try to pull him back. Try to get him to reign in the demon." Carlisle brushed my hair from my face and was gone.
Jasper came through the wall a moment later jumping directly over me in a protective stance. He was growling and hissing at any and every sound. He looked down as I struggled to sit up. "Jasper, come back to me my love." I purred letting him know I was safe and he could relax. "I need you to come back to me. I need to feed love and I need you with me."
He scooped me up and jumped from the hole in the wall. He was running through the woods. I saw Peter, Jason, and Emmett as we passed them all looking like hell. He still hadn't returned to my Jasper though. He was growling at everyone as we moved swiftly through the wooded area. He set me down in a place resembling a nest. He tucked a blanket tightly around me and left me. Only a few minutes passed before he returned carrying a large buck. He snapped it's neck and pulled me up pushing the buck's neck to my lips. I quickly bit into it and drank hungrily. He held the buck still purring as I fed. As soon as it was drained he tossed it aside and again disappeared bringing me another deer. After the fourth one I was full and my strength beginning to return. I pulled my shirt off and wiped my mouth before discarding it. He purred loudly coming to rest beside me in the blankets. He pulled me to him licking the blood from my body and I moaned.
"Rest my wife and mate. I will keep you safe while you heal your body."
"You always keep me safe. I love you Jasper." I purred happily. He was returning to me. We weren't there yet, but he was coming back.
I don't know how long we were out there but when the rain began he lifted me and ran me back to the house. He blocked the door keeping me inside and safe. His eyes were now showing some white but he was not himself. "Jasper, the kids." I whispered as he lay next to me. "I want to see our children." He caressed my face and left me but only momentarily. He returned with the kids and barricaded the hole in the wall he had returned through successfully holing us up in the room. The kids stood looking at me cautiously. "Come, I want hugs and kisses." I smiled and they all three ran to me. Annabella hugging me and crying loudly. Jasper's purr filled the room as he returned to the bed wrapping himself around me and our children.
For the next four days that is how we remained. He'd hunt and bring the food to us never allowing us into the open and never allowing anyone near us. Slowly he began to talk more. Annabella would attach herself to him and cry. She was definitely a Daddy's girl and she didn't understand what had happened to her Daddy. I felt bad for what I had put my family through. My children deserved to not live in fear. In time Jasper would realize the threat was gone and he'd return to himself. I just had to love him and show him we were not afraid.
On day four things shifted and Jasper subdued the demon. He smiled as he held Annabella. Her little arms wrapped tightly around his neck as she slept. The boys were playing chess on the floor at the foot of the bed. Braxton looked up from the game. "Daddy, I'm hungry, can we hunt soon?"
"As soon as your sister wakes from her nap we will hunt as a family." Jasper smiled at them. They had been playing nicely and quietly for days. I think we both understood if we didn't let them hunt soon, our peace was about to become a very distant memory. "Momma do you feel up to hunting?" He looked at me.
"Yes love." I laughed. "I've been up to it for days now you just weren't ready to let me out in the open yet."
"Sorry about that baby." He kissed me.
"Don't apologize for loving me enough to destroy everyone for me." I looked into his eyes. "Brianna, is she a vampire now?"
"Yep. Guess what Momma, we have a cousin too." Cooper answered. "I wonder how big he is now. Aunt Brianna had him three days before you woke up."
"Really? Jasper, when we get back, can I see our family?"
"Yes baby." He chuckled as Annabella stirred. "Come, lets hunt my family." he set Annabella down and removed the barricade from the hole. He lept through first checking the area for danger before signaling the kids to join him. They jumped through, Cooper first followed by Annabella then Braxton. I lept down behind them and immediately we began to move. I saw Carlisle and Esme watching us as we hit the tree line. Holding one another and smiling. We had made it through and Jasper had beaten the demon within. Live was wonderful and care free.
"Daddy, when we get back, can I have a pony now?" Annabella asked and I giggled as Jasper promised her they would begin looking for ponies because she was getting a whole heard. She was a Daddy's girl but she had her Daddy wrapped around her little finger.
