I am so sorry this took so long. I seriously have been booked straight for days. I have a concert to play in little over a week and practice has been constant. And I just turned 15 a couple weeks ago so that's been crazy. Here's the update and I promise the next one will be sooner than this was.
Disclaimer: Am I Stephainie Meyer? Last time I checked, no. So I guess I don't own Twilight.
Carlisle's POV...
I watched my daughter stand beside her mate. I felt only a dark hatred for two I had called my own. She was tall and proud in her own way. There was a deep power in her. It came from being the descendant of a powerful family, the Volturi. She still wore the black robe that Jane had given her. Phil, my family has decided to offer you a choice. Bella said softly. What? We've decided to offer you immortality. The chance to be a vampire. Shock flickered across his eyes, only to be replaced by determination. Do it. Phil, you do realize it will mean an eternity of missing Renee. It will also mean an eternity of protecting what was most precious to her. Change me. Okay. Do you want to do it now? Yes. Carlisle? She looked at me.
I'll do it. I've a decent amount of experience with human blood. I knelt beside him, biting his neck. The blood was rich, unlike that of the others I'd changed. He was a healthy man. I felt a speck of thirst but fought it, thinking of Bella. I pulled back. I can cut off his senses during the change. It will be painless. Alec offered. Gratitude shined in Bella's eyes as she nodded. Bella, you need space. I can feel it. Jasper touched her face. They left at once. I looked at Aro.
She will be a good Queen. Aro said.
She has been through so much. I am ashamed of Alice and Edward. How could they hurt them like this? I know old friend. The only thing keeping me here and not raging after them is this: if they had not been through what they have, they never would have found each other. True. She is my daughter as much as any. I love them both. Imagine our joy when we found the descendants of Ana Marie alive. It gave us new hope. This newborn army proves that it is not the right time to step down, but we are weary. Bella is young, but wise beyond those tender years. Indeed. Vampires these days are tireless and wild. We are our own worst threat. Even the werewolves did not cause the chaos our own kind do. Not even the immortal children were so crazy as this Victoria. Alice and Maria are truly mad as well. I am sorry I didn t notice her antics earlier. It was her vision that led us to leave. She said Bella would soon die if we remained. We loved her as our own and could not bear the idea. Clearly she was lying. With Edward at her side we had no way of knowing she was being untruthful. It is not your fault love. Esme put her arms around me. She was everything I needed in my life. I looked at her and kissed her passionately. What would I do without her?
JPOV We ran for miles before she stopped. Bella was dry sobbing against a tree, her hair falling past her face. I held her close, pouring my love for her into the storm of emotions.
I m here darlin . Just breathe. What would I do without you? I m not sure. Maybe meet a werewolf wrestle some grizzlies? Sounds fun. She turned catching my bottom lip. Her lust spiked. I ran my hands down her side stopping to lift her leg over my hip. My hair was caught in her hands holding me to her. It wasn t like other moments we d shared. She was unbreakable as I was. She leaned back to undo her cloak before brushing her lips over the scars on my neck. My shirt was gone, my chest now covered by her hands and lips. All the longing I d felt for her now climaxed into this sweet moment. I d wanted our first time to be somewhere other than the forest floor, but my woman had other ideas. Our clothes were discarded. I let my mouth explore her neck and shoulders before I reached her breasts, taking one taught nipple in my mouth. She moaned head tilted back. I loved everything about this woman. She was beautiful cunning talented and most of all; she was mine.
BPOV I was in ecstasy. The thrill of his touch was more, more than I could have hoped for in my new life. His fingers moved like lightening over my back, my hips, my thighs. Jasper, I need you. My head rolled back on my neck. It was hard to breathe, not that I needed to. Gods you re amazing. And you re mine. He fingered my clit making my breath hitch in pleasure. It took everything I had not to cum right there. I m all yours. He entered me slowly. After not even a minute we were both over the edge, falling with the other s name on our lips. His teeth bit into my chest just above my right breast. My own marked the bottom left corner of his throat.
JPOV We lay there collapsed together on the forest floor. I didn t need anything more than this. This was bliss. Unfortunately the world had other plans. We should get back. Bella said wistfully.
We should. Neither of us moved for what seemed another hour.
Remember, we called others. They ll be here soon. I love you. I know. I love you to. She kissed me gently. We stood and redressed. When we returned we saw three new arrivals. Siobhan, Maggie, and Liam. Jasper, Bella. Siobhan smiled. Maggie looked about fourteen. A part of me was upset by her youth. There was a moment of tension from the angel at my side. I glanced at her quickly, but she was looking at Maggie.
You know when you re being lied to, I presume. Maggie looked startled. Yes. I have my own talent. I am a shield. I sense the abilities around my and copy them. Siobhan seemed ill at ease. It does not harm you, nor is it voluntary. She speaks the truth Siobhan. She has my powers now, but so do I. I am unharmed. And she truly has no control over it. If you say so libeling. I will trust you. Bella truly means no harm. So long as no one moves to harm her, her family or make a move toward her mate she is fairly reasonable. Carlisle said.
However I do not believe you would enjoy meeting the General. Jane said.
"They would not." Alec agreed. I wondered at them. "General?" Siohan asked.
"Alec and Jane are the only ones who have seen her thus. WHen rage takes her over she will become another being."
"Ahh, it makes sense. SHe is a proper ate for the Major." Siobhan nodded. The Egyptian coven arrive next. I felt a tremor from my mate and saw a faint disturbence of the air between her and a young man in Amun's party.
"You can control the elements." She said to the male. Like Maggie, his face was surprised, to say the least. "We will wxplain everything later. Right now I believe you need a hunt. Heidi, Chelsea, please escort them to Seattle and make sure they follow the requests the Princess has given." Aro said.
"Requests?" Amun appeared cautious.
"Yes. Our dear Princesse requests that human drinkers refrain from innocents and hunt the scum of humanity furing their stay. After this matter is settled then your hunt is your buisiness as long as you do not ake a scene." Aro stated, authory in his tone. I was impressed. I knew Amun was not one to obey easily, but he seemed resigned to the word of the Kings.
"And what purpose has the Major in this? He is merely a child compared toyour greatness." Bella snarled. Amun laughed. "And this one, a newborn. She is worthless as he." Jane and Alec exchanged a single glance, fearful. My mate crouched low. Amun responded much the same.
"Amun, if you know what is good for you then you will bow down before Isabella. She is no joke in battle." Jane warned. Amun continued to smirk. Suddenly there was a pierrcing roar as a hole ripped between the two of them. Amun glared at the younger member of his coven.
"Wasn't me." Was all he said. Amun, distracted by his covenmate didn't notice Bella leap at him. Amun, I knew, was not novice fighter, but Bella, or the General, as she must be right now, had him pinned in less than five seconds. "Remember this, Amun. Never, ever, insult my mate again, or I will summon fire to burn you to ashes. Slowly." I approached her carefully.
"General..." My tone snapped her to attention. She held Amun bak while looking at me. "My mate..." She was in my arms, shaking slightly. "She's coming out of it. Thank the gods. Last time it took hours." Jane sighed with relief.
"Amun, consider yourself lucky. She is not one to leave an enemy alive in this state. I'm not sure how many of Victoria's newborns she killed during our visit. If there were not those she needed to protect then she may have killed more."
"And the major?"
"He's only one of the most feared vampires in history. You know that is what set her off. Never insult the Major or she will not spare you a second time. Our mother is not one for third chances."
"Your mother?" The younger female next to the gifted one. "Yes. Not through venom, but we are her children. Much as Emmett, Rosalie, Bella, and Jasper are to Carlisle and Esme." "What of Edward? And Alice. I rememer them to be quite civil." Amun asked.
"You wil not mention them. They are traitors to the Kings and to their supposed family. Do not assume them to be welcome here. In fact I rther believe everyone of us would rather kill them and dance around the pyre." Rosalie spat. "My name is Benjamin. I will follow the Princess and her Mate into battle." The young man knelt before Bella and I, his pose submissive. The other girl, his mate, from her emotions, followed suit. Amun and Kebi, who I knew, simply nodded. "Heidi Chelsea, bring Demetri with you." The seven vampire left us to stare after them.
"Well, that was interesting."
