Abductor's Torment
Chapter 11: Getting Ready
A couple of minutes away from their crash site, Jane found something that could be problematic or helpful.
Another vampire's territory.
"So... We're headed to some random Mexican vampire?" Bella asked while still being piggy-backed by Jane. Bella and Jane both knew that the brunette wouldn't be able to walk through the arid plain long enough to actually get through it.
"Somewhat. Your passport and all the money burned within the car." Jane sighed, she really had no idea what to do now. How does one get a passport anyway?! This was all Heidi's specialty! "We will need to try and... ask for help." More like Jane would demand help or rip them apart... It wouldn't be that easy though. Jane knew exactly who the vampire that lived here was and threats would not work against her.
"Do you know them? I really don't want more surprises trying to kill me." The Denali Coven came to Bella's mind and she didn't need another repeat of that. It seemed that hatred for the Volturi was pretty common for vampire-kind according to the bimbos. Bella still didn't know how she had activated her gift last time and wasn't even sure she would be able to do it again anytime soon.
Jane had already warned her not to try to use it and warned her not to distract the vampire ever again when fighting. It made Bella smile though, it means that Bella meant something to the small blonde if she was actually a distraction.
"Somewhat. I met her when the Southern Vampire Wars ended." Jane replied and continued to tell the story knowing the brunette would just keep asking more questions about it until satisfied. The blonde told Bella how the Warlord, Maria, along with a few other vampires made armies of newborns and tried to take over the whole southern area to get revenge for their covens earlier destruction.
"There came a time when the Warlord, somehow, lost most of her allies and was left with an unstable army of newborns after the battle was technically won in her favor. Eventually, the Volturi needed to step in to quell the creation of more newborn armies." Jane remembered how tedious the whole mission was.
"There were vampire parts everywhere. I was sent along with a few other of the Volturi guard. Containing the newborns was easy enough, but the clean up took a while." Jane could recall how many parts they had to pick up and burn one by one! It took days.
"The only surviving vampire Warlord was Maria. She was spared and let off with a firm warning to never create another newborn army. She had also explained that the main person who could actually do this already disappeared." Jane ended her tale and it seems like the girl was sated enough for now.
"This is nice though." Bella pressed her chest more against Jane's back causing the vampire to take in a gulp of unneeded air.
Gotcha.
Bella waited a bit for more of a response, but nothing. Guess she needed to provoke the vampire a bit more.
"Isn't this nice?" Bella whispered huskily in Jane's ear and she could feel the hands holding up her thighs slightly tighten.
Jane was suddenly feeling warm. She obviously knew it wasn't from the arid wasteland nor from the sun, but from the slip of a girl that was on her back. Jane knew what it was, but she still refused to accept it. She had gone by centuries without this feeling, but she wasn't dumb enough not to know what it was.
Bella wouldn't relent. She knew her time could be short especially when she decided to travel with Jane to the Volturi. She counted on the Volturi not killing her or even Jane protecting her, but she still had no assurance. It was a bit funny that she wasn't scared though, all it made her was a bit more... bold.
Who'd ever want to die a virgin?
The brunette untangled her arms around Jane's neck and began to slowly feel down her body. Bella could feel Jane stiffen, but continued her ministrations until both her hands were feeling the underside of Jane's breasts.
Bella wanted a reaction and got it, Jane suddenly increased her running speed so much that Bella was nearly flung off. She immediately shifted both her hands and gripped tightly on the two breasts like they were handlebars on a roller coaster.
It only took a few seconds and Bella felt herself being lifted off the blonde and slammed on the ground, as gently as you could slam a person anyway. Both blackened eyes were immediately staring straight into her own chocolate brown ones.
Fear was non-existent. The burning in her core, however, couldn't be ignored.
Bella could see it clearly, the lust, the want, emotions Jane probably had not yet come to term with, but her vampiric side already had instinctively accepted it. She felt Jane's hands start to roam her body as the vampire took in a deep breath. She could also see Jane's fangs were already out, eager to pierce soft pliable skin.
It was not how Bella pictured her first time to be, on the dusty ground in an arid wasteland, but it didn't matter. Heat already poured through her loins as she arched up her body to press herself closer to Jane and her wandering hands.
Bella felt Jane's hands roughly go down her body, going straight for where the heat was concentrated. Jane's fangs were also so close to her neck and Bella could only bear her neck, allowing Jane to take a bite if she wanted one.
"I believe I would rather you not fornicate so close to my abode." An amused voice said.
Jane wasn't amused as instinct overtook her normal rational senses. She quickly blocked off Bella's body from the intruder, hiss and crouched, preparing for an attack.
"I mean no harm to you or your mate, Volturi." Bella guessed that this was the Warlord that Jane had told her about earlier unless the vampire wasn't alone anymore.
Maria had kept her distance when she let her presence be known. She wasn't oblivious to the smell that was brought from downwind. Looking like the small blonde was about to take someone in the middle of the barren plain wasn't a common occurrence either, nor were people coming within her territory either.
The Mexican vampire waited and kept the safe distance while the blonde took the time to reel in herself. The arousal and craving for blood wasn't that hard to miss. It seemed as if the small vampire was missing out on both at the moment.
A few moments later, and it seemed as if the vampire had come to her senses as the human girl stood up and calmed her down.
"Jane Volturi. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Maria had not seen a Volturi member in over a century after they had helped her clean up the mess left by the Southern Vampire Wars.
Though, it was a very big surprise that the Volturi Enforcer had come alone along with a human mate to boot. Maria tried to make sense of the possibilities, but was stumped. Why did someone with the Volturi even have someone still human?
Jane's dark eyes greeted her. The shade was still near black, it seemed like the vampire was in need of blood... and possibly a sensual touch. Maria would have offered some blood, but she never really took the time to extract blood and store them. She always did like them fresh.
"The closest town is several kilometers to the south west, that will be the easiest place for you to acquire blood." Maria suggested, but Jane only hissed louder as if trying to keep the vampire away from Bella.
"Good control or not, it almost seems like you haven't had blood in over a week. I vow that no harm will come to the human girl." Maria really meant it, she never did have a taste for killing young girls. Besides, getting on the bad side of the Volturi wasn't good for anyone.
Maria eyed Jane as her rational sense was finally winning out. A human and a vampire traveling alone together. Maria was not one to gossip, but this just seemed so juicy.
Being alone for decades does get a bit boring.
Bella could see the indecisiveness as Jane didn't want to leave her with a vampire that was almost a stranger, but she could see that Jane really needed to drain someone and not just a quick bite.
Bella's own gift that hit Jane must have dealt more damage than they imagined since Jane had only fed around four days ago. The energy she had sapped probably had something to do with it.
"Jane, it's alright. Just be quick and don't get lost." Bella said as Jane faced her with the dark eyes that seemed to promise so much. Looks like Bella's try at seduction worked wonders, but probably at the wrong time in the middle of an arid dust bowl.
Teenage hormones. Yep, she'd blame it on that.
Jane turned away from her and looked towards the Warlord. Maria was actually fairly short, five foot one at the most to Bella's five foot six, you really couldn't tell how dangerous a vampire is by anything. All of a sudden, the Warlord dropped to the floor screaming in pain.
"Jane!" Bella reached over, but the blonde continued to torture the other vampire with phantom flames.
Just as quick as it started, it stopped. The Warlord looked up in surprised anger and Bella was bracing herself for another possible fight.
"That is what you will be feeling for the rest of your unlife if anything happens to her!" Bella and Maria could both see the resolve burning in Jane's eyes. "I will tear you apart and burn your body slowly as I keep your head in eternal pain if she is harmed!" Jane continued growling.
Bella was silent, but inwardly she swooned so much at those words. Bella raised a hand to Jane's cheek and caressed it, the sexy growl immediately turned into a soft purr. "Go." Bella smiled as Jane immediately ran for the general direction that Maria just gave.
Bella was now alone with a human-drinker that she just met five minutes ago, but just like always, there wasn't any fear.
"Now that your protective significant other is gone, let us get inside the house, away from all this dirt." Maria gestured to how dirty their clothes were.
Maria frowned as they stepped into her house. I just showered too.
Thirty minutes later, Bella and Maria were seated in a small living room after both had taken time to have a shower. Maria had offered Bella some clothes while her own were drying out, but much to Bella's dismay, Maria only had dresses. Bella sighed and decided to choose the simple white one.
"So, what brings you here in the wastelands of Mexico?" Maria started questioning. What else was there to do than to get to know her guest?
Bella then began to explain Jane's mission to take her back to the Volturi and how they actually ended up in Mexico. Maria had laughed about a few of the random encounters and especially what Jane had done to the Denali Coven. Maria went a bit quiet when Bella had mentioned searching for the Cullens though.
"The Cullens." Maria's face then held a bit of apprehension, she hadn't heard from the Major in a long time now. "How has Jasper been?"
"Jasper? Well, he was alright last I saw him, still kind of bad at controlling himself around human blood though." Bella cringed and held the scar she had gotten during her birthday when Jasper went loco. That's what being a stupid vegetarian vampire does to you after all. "You know Jasper?"
"A long time ago." Maria smiled wistfully, and Bella didn't have the heart to pry deeper. "So, what is your connection to the Volturi? Is it because you're Jane's mate?" Maria had been wondering quite a bit on how they actually found Jane's mate while the girl was still human.
"Hah! Mate? Yeah, right." Bella laughed, but she did wish that was true. "Don't throw that word out, I've had other vampires and even shifters claim the same thing." She didn't need the word 'mate' confining her. Edward claiming to be her mate and Jacob hinting it at times didn't help either.
Maria's brow went up. "You're not mates? That is impossible." The signs were all there, it was fairly obvious on how to spot it if a human was the mate of a vampire or not. "Jane's first action was to protect you even when she was acting on instinct. Hungry vampires do not protect humans. The most that a vampire that needs to feed will do is to run away from humans if they do not want to prey on them." Maria explained.
It was very rare for vampires to find their mate while human, but not unheard of. Sending out a hungry vampire to see who they wouldn't attack would actually work in discovering their mate, but looking for one amongst several million would never really work out.
"I've had other vampires protect me and they..." Bella went silent as she recalled the numerous times she was getting close to the Cullen vampires and the times when they protected her. Anytime they had black eyes, they had to run away from her to feed on animals, there was no exception.
Maria could see realization dawn on Bella's eyes. "Now you get it. Jane would have drained you or ran away, but not protect you in such close proximity. There are numerous stories about Jane that even I've heard from passing nomads. She hates humans. It may be hard to accept that your significant other is a blood draining vampire, but the signs are there." Maria hadn't been around vampires much, but she had a coven over a hundred years ago and even had a mate.
"I have no problem with vampires draining humans, it's the natural thing to do." Well, Maria was liking how this girl thought more and more. She was even wiser than a lot of vampires that thought drinking from animals made them more human.
Basura vampira. Garbage vampires.
Bella and Maria continued to trade stories. Maria was actually surprised that she was getting to like the human. Her fearlessness in dealing with red eyed vampires was a huge plus in Maria's book too. It was reaching the second hour when Bella realized that Jane had been gone too long.
"Fuck. I think Jane's lost." Bella groaned. Maybe she should have accompanied Jane. Well, thankfully, the topic about mates was changed. She couldn't help the small smile that appeared on her face though.
"Ah, yes. I've heard about that as well, but no one would ever dare speak of it." Maria had heard about the directionless 'powers' of the worse Witch Twin from others, but it was also mentioned to never mention it unless that being wanted to be quickly destroyed.
"Oh well. She'll find her way eventually. Hey. I've got a request..." Bella grinned. This was Mexico...
A gruff looking man in shades looked over at the brunette, not really sure how this should play out. He didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry at the moment.
First, he suddenly got a call from one of the numbers. There were a few numbers passed down to him by his father from grandfather and were expressly told to follow anything that the number asked of them.
Secondly, when he picked up the phone and a girl said the numbers, well, he immediately followed them, which led to what was happening right now. He brought his whole stock here.
"I want those two. Oh, mmm." The girl pointed at two pistols and he could only nod as he watched the girl munch on a taco that he was ordered to bring along with the arms he had for sale. "God, this is so good." He was so glad he didn't bring his men to this.
"Oi, chica, do you even know how to hold a gun?" He wasn't supposed to question her, but he couldn't help it. Who the hell was this girl that had him order a taco and had him bring his whole stock of arms? ... a taco!
He was an arms dealer!
"Course I do! Ohh! I want three of those." He looked over to where she was pointing and indicated incendiary grenades. The girl couldn't be older than seventeen maybe and she was getting incendiary grenades?
Dios mio! My god. A little girl ordering guns. What has this world come to?
"Chica..." No, he couldn't sell his stock to a random girl. The girl didn't look like she had money either!
A door opened to the side and he looked over. The girl that came in looked a bit older, but was obviously a native of Mexico. She was beautiful with her dark shade of hair, but something was bugging him...
His eyes opened wide as he recognized the girl that just came in.
Mierda. Mierda!
There was no mistake.
It was her!
Maria.
It was the same girl that helped his great great grandfather's arms business to start during the nineteenth century. There even a damned portrait of her in his mansion! The name Maria was even inscribed in the portrait!
He paled even further when he noticed the red eyes.
La vampira.
"Hey." The brunette called out to him and he immediately responded. He wanted to get the hell out of here as quickly as possible. Hopefully, alive. "I want incendiary rounds for the pistols." He passed on to the girl everything she wanted and immediately got back in his truck, not even asking for payment or anything.
He started his engine, but all of a sudden, the girl in the portrait was right outside his window with red eyes focused on his own. This was probably the end.
"Si se habla, se muere." If you talk, you die.
He could only nod his head vigorously as he continued to sweat.
If he got out of this alive, he was quitting the family business.
Jane was fucking lost. Four hours have passed and she has yet to see any town. She wanted to blame Maria for lying to her, but she knew better even though she didn't want to admit it.
Her eyes had gone completely black and she was sure that the first person she came across would be lunch.
A sound of a vehicle was heard and Jane immediately lunged for the driver, ripping the person out of the truck while the truck crashed several meters away.
Jane quickly ripped into his throat and started draining all his blood. As soon as the body was drained, Jane tore apart the body and tossed in different places for animals to find.
As soon as she was done taking care of the mess, Jane was back to problem number one. She was still lost.
The blonde took a look around...
... and saw Maria's small house just a few miles away.
...
They would never hear of this.
Never.
The sky was bright blue as Tanya looked upwards as her head continued to float with the waves of the sea. She could feel the phantom burning in her loins, but it was never enough. She could only stare forth as bird droppings scattered over her face.
In the forest close to where the Denali Coven was, a squirrel was busy trying to bite a small nut that wouldn't break open.
Mierda - Shit.
Height: (Just using the wiki ones.)
Bella - 5'6
Jane - 4'8
Maria - 5'1
AN: The random arms dealer guy was one of the people Maria had dealt with in the past. Of course, she dealt with his predecessors, but the family business stayed the same. It is almost like the thing Jasper had with J. Jenks the lawyer who provided forged stuff. Well, he was short-lived anyway.
Jane was really hungry by the way. Getting energy drained and not having blood for four days was getting to her. Jane protects Bella instinctually even if she's hungry. Only time she would drink from Bella is if it was offered. (Even then she couldnt really drink a lot.)
I felt like this chapter got a bit wordy, idk. (Somehow I'm just never satisfied with what I put down.)
So, yeah, Bella's equipped with incendiary ammo. Vampires catch fire real quick right? :)
I might put up a chapter highlighting other characters next chapter.
Thank you for the great amount of feedback, comments and suggestions! I do love hearing all of them, drop any if you have the time! :D (Especially things you think I could improve on.)
