KISS ME, KILL YOU
CHAPTER 20: Exposed!
After the LeStats finished tying up and feeding off the new bunch of prisoners, they sluggishly walked over to the far tent and got in their coffins for the night. The Wolves, the ones that weren't bloated and passed out, went off into the woods to crash, or presumably, back to their homes.
Bella wanted a look at the scene from a different angle, to make sure there were no LeStats or Wolves in the woods. So, she crawled low to the ground on all fours under the brush and bramble towards the other side of the knoll.
"Shit!" She whispered angrily. Her back pocket got caught in a dried grape vine, holding her there.
"Edward!" She called out as loudly as she dared, then continued struggling to free herself.
Damn it! Where was her Warrior? She pulled and twisted and then felt a riiip. She was free. She continued crawling low to the ground.
"Bella!" She heard Edward's voice behind her. "Wait! Stop! Don't move!" His voice was urgent.
She froze. She looked back over her shoulder and there was her brave Warrior crawling up behind her. When he got within reach of her, he stopped, sat back on his heals, smiling and started panting hard. Apparently, the ass of her jeans was almost entirely ripped out exposing her derriere.
"Edward!" Bella giggled.
"Just give me a moment...I'm just going to.."
The next thing she heard was the sound of Edward's zipper and then Jasper whispering disgustedly, "Edward! What the fuck are you doing?"
Bella looked over her shoulder and sure enough Jasper had crawled up behind Edward. Edward was gesturing between his dick which he had pulled out before he was so rudely interrupted and Bella's ass cheeks which were glowing white in the moonlight.
"What the fuck do you think?" Was Edward's reply.
They began to argue the merits and disadvantages of his fucking Bella right now at this particular moment.
"Hi Bella, how's it going?" Emmett appeared in front of Bella, crawling on his elbows and knees through the brush.
"Oh, hi Emmett," Bella was just laying there, casually leaning on an elbow.
"So, what's going on here?"
He looked beyond her at Edward and Jasper having a silent, yet heated, argument. Edward had his dick out still and a hand on Bella's ass.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" He laughed, crawled passed Bella and got into the argument. "General! We are about to engage the enemy, this is no time to be shtupping your wife."
Edward's face turned positively evil. He leaped on Emmett so fast, Bella couldn't track the movement. He was pounding Emmett's face hard as they went tumbling down the hill into a shallow ravine. Bella shook her head, then continued crawling towards her sisters. She was focused. She had no time for male testosterone. But she would definitely be saving these jeans for later.
Signaling Alice and Rosalie to start moving the people out, she dodged in and out of the tree shadows towards Jake and the other Wolves that were being held prisoner. The closer she got to her old friend, the more frightened she became. He was breathing, yes, she could see his chest moving up and down, but his head was down and he was hanging limply from the ropes that he dangled from from the wire above him. She got closer, afraid that her best friend from their childhood was on death's door. What was that noise he was making?
"Jake...Jake..." she cried softly, holding his big head in her arms. "What the fuck?"
Jake snorted awake. "Oh, hey Bella," He yawned, trying his best to stretch.
"You fucking bastard!" She was so mad at him, she wanted to take her Bowie out of it's sheath on her thigh and gut him, then, with overwhelming joy, she hugged his neck, and cut him down.
The chains made a rattling sound, making the others snort awake. Bella started to cut the wire that held them, but what was she going to do about the chains? Their arms were free, but they were still being held by the shackles around their ankles that were secured to a chain around a huge Redwood trunk.
Bella looked at her watch. "Damn, we still have about 2 hours before sunrise," she frowned. Meaning that the LeStats who, according to the General numbered about a dozen with more on the way, would still be a threat until then. She looked around not forgetting that there were renegade Wolves to be dealt with at some point and thought for a moment that although she had never killed a Wolf, it was strictly forbidden by Volturi Code, if they attacked first she would have no choice and would have to face the consequences later.
She was following the thick chain around the tree to see if maybe there were any kind of weakness in the links that she could use to pry it apart. Jake's pack was way too fragile to be of any assistance. When she cut their bonds from the wire above, they all just collapsed to the ground hugging each other, crying and praying in Quilleute.
"Shhhh--" she said, squatting on the ground, "Someone's coming."
She looked across the camp. Alice and Rosalie were leading a group of about twenty five badly beaten but ambulatory people out into the woods. To her relief, she saw that one of the men sported a Dethklok tattoo between his shoulder blades and knew this to be none other than her old friend George Bloodslut, president of the Forks Chapter of the Disciples of Nathan Explosion.
Snapping twigs about 25 feet in the woods behind her got her attention. The Wolves, too weak to even pretend to be tied up to the wires, just laid still and flat on the ground.
"WHAT IS THIS?" A high pitched screechy voice called out from behind Bella.
In a flash, as if it were choreographed, the following events took place. Edward's voice rang through the woods screaming "NO!" a split second before a bright blue stream of the Scintilla di Vita tore out of Edward headed straight for the LeStats behind her. From Bella's point of view, the trajectory, however, would have hit her old friends the Wolves on the way to its target behind them. Bella leaped in the way, put her hands up and when the beam of light hit her palms she threw her hands to the side like she was throwing a baseball to home plate, sending the Scintilla di Vita into the huge Redwood, effectively disintegrating it, leaving not even one twig, one leaf.
The LeStats behind her took off running into the woods screeching like scared little titty babies. In shock, Bella fell back and ass planted on the ground.
"Bella! Bella!" Edward was running flat out towards her. "Oh my gods! Bella!"
The Wolves were released from their chains immediately; it disappeared with the tree.
"Can you phase? Can you?" She said to the Pack.
"Yes." Sam answered, helping Quill and Embry up off the ground. Paul and Jacob were cracking their necks and shaking out their muscles like they were preparing for battle.
"I need you to help Alice and Rosalie get the survivors to Esme and Carlisle. They have medical supplies and water. Can you please help them?"
All five Wolves bowed their heads once to her, phased, then ran off towards her sisters.
"Bella, are you alright??" Edward helped her up, took her hands in his and turned her palms up.
Inspecting them, they were undamaged. He hugged her to himself and started to cry. "I could have...I could have..."
"Did you see? Did you see what I did?" Bella was so excited she let go of Edward and began to jump up and down. "I took the Scintilla di Vita and threw it away! I redirected it away from the Wolves!"
"Yes! I saw, it was fucking amazing!" Edward said, grabbing her to his chest.
"Swan?" A female voice said weakly from the next wire over, "Is that you, Swan?"
She turned around to see none other than Lauren Mallory hanging there. Bitten, bloody and filthy, her shirt, like the others, had been ripped off her and was hanging down around her waist. Bella immediately had an internal dialog. Here was the one fucker in the whole town that endlessly berated her in public, humiliated her every chance she got and turned puppy dog Mike Newton against her, which nearly cost her her family's safety if not their lives. She took her razor sharp Bowie knife out of it's sheath and approached her. Bella decided to take the high road. As she cut her down, she noticed Lauren's exposed tits which were no bigger than a small boys.
Helping her up from the ground, Bella said smugly, "I knew you stuffed!"
Bella went down the line of her fellow townsfolk and cut each one down. Edward started on the next wire. They all looked at Bella with awe and admiration, gratefully kissing her on the cheek, or hugging her before they slipped into the forest and off to safety.
Saying things to her like, "Thank you, Bella," "You're an Angel," "God Bless you," "You rock!" etc. Bella had tears flowing down her cheeks, but smiled and said nothing to the grateful citizens of Forks. The town she loved, that she fought for every day of her life, and the people who had all but written her off as a serious weirdo, were calling her their hero, were singing her praises.
Edward looked back at her every now and then, in total agreement with what these people were saying about her.
When they finished cutting them all down, Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett and Jake's Wolves began carrying the ones who could not walk up out of the camp. The townsfolk who were spared the brunt of the cruelty came back in droves to help out. Some came in SUV's, vans and even a couple of school buses. When Forks General filled up, the ones that could be transported were taken to Port Angeles Community Hospital. Blood to replenish what was taken was flown in by helicopter from the surrounding counties. Even lovely old Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Shulman pitched in, helping the weaker ones to eat, making phone calls for them.
As the last of the victims were being hauled away, the sun was peaking over the horizon. Edward held Bella as she wept. She was over tired, overwhelmed. Edward picked her up in his arms and carried her out of the empty camp.
"Let's go home, il mio bel fiore." (my beautiful flower).
He carried her up over the knoll, out to the path, into the SUV still parked where they left it, not noticing the pairs of eyes that were following them from the woods.
