A/N First of all I need to say that I'm really sorry for taking so long to update. I was working everyday, and then I found that because the family is around I couldn't have the privacy I needed to write. Also, my computer has been acting up and I could only write a few words at a time, then I would have to wait a few minutes until they actually showed up on the document. This chapter did not have a pre reader or a beta. One is gone and the other is busy so I just decided that since I had taken so long in getting this chapter done, to just post it as is. Any mistakes are mine, as well as any bad writing.

I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.

CJ POV

I watched as six vampires held my dad down, and Vergil had his fucking hands on dad's head about to fucking rip it off. He was a fucking coward. He had to be in order to have others hold dad down while he took his head off.

Something rose up inside of me and the growl that came out sounded feral. I saw red, and launched myself at Vergil. He was so sure of his victory that he paid no attention to me. I hit his body with everything I had within me and that threw us several hundred yards away and into some trees.

I got up quickly and watched as it took only a few seconds for my dad to get free of those who held him down. Before he could get to me though, Vergil had launched himself at me and we were flying again.

As soon as my feet hit the ground I put my shield up, knowing that it would throw him off of me. It did, he flew off of me and straight into dad's grasp. I put my shield up just before some of the guards got to us. The ones that had held dad down were already torn apart.

Dad had let go of Vergil. I knew that unlike the fucking coward that he is, dad would not allow him to be held down while killing him. He didn't need him to be held while he killed him. He did need him to suffer though, and suffer is exactly what he would be doing.

They were both growling, and snarling. Vergil chose this time to speak up,"I see that you have brought your son with you. Two against one, isn't that a little unfair of you, Jasper?"

Dad said nothing, just stared at him. Even the growls had stopped, at least loudly. I could still hear a faint rumbling in his chest. Vergil was trying to taunt him, make him attack at his will. It wasn't going to work. Dad had taught me that sometimes, silence is better than answers.

Something about staying silent when the enemy is trying to goad you will unnerve them, and they will make a stupid move. That's how dad gets the enemy to attack first which is usually a mistake when fighting the Major.

Vergil continued to say things to try to get dad to respond, or attack, "You know Jasper, all of this would have been unnecessary if only you would let me have some control over the army. Maybe, I should go and pay your mate, and daughter another visit. Only this time, I would have my way with the young girl. She's a virgin right? Yeah, I bet she would taste good. I bet her pussy is tight, and hot, since she has blood pumping through her veins."

Dad didn't even flinch. His growl did get slightly louder, but other than that, no reaction. I on the other hand was growling, and needing to hurt the fucking asshole. I made a move to launch myself at Vergil, but saw dad slightly moving his head to say "don't do it".

He never took his eyes off of Vergil. He kept up his taunts, making crude remarks about what he was going to do to sis, and mom. I happened to look down at dad's hand and saw the signal that he wanted me to launch myself at Vergil.

I moved, and Vergil immediately turned to defend himself from my attack. I hit his body with my own, knocking him down once again. Dad had him pinned, and had one leg off at the knee before I could even blink. He quickly took off the other leg at the same point.

I didn't stop my attack though. As soon as the bastard was down, I bit him in his arm. I was pushing as much venom as I could into the bite and he was screaming in pain. I let go of his arm and started to bite his shoulder, chest, back, and anywhere else I could reach, being sure to push a lot of venom into each wound.

Dad was making sure that his hands didn't grab me, but other than that he just sat there and let me do whatever I wanted to. He was sending him pain, and fear. He told him that, that was what his mate had felt. Then he sent him what Laya, and I both had felt right after finding her arm. He was now frozen from fear, pain, and despair.

After biting the fucking bastard about ten times, I felt dad's hands on my shoulder to stop me. He told me that he had other plans to torture him, before killing him.

Vergil kept mumbling something about this wasn't supposed to happen. Dad leaned over and explained what we would be doing. So far Vergil had only lost his lower legs. We were going to take our time, and remove all body parts, before finally ripping his head off and burning everything.

We started with his fingers. Dad actually would remove the part, and I would spit venom on the wound which would cause extreme burning of the fresh wound, and would cause it to seal up. His screams were music to our ears. If it was anyone else, I would have been bothered by what we were doing.

The guards that were around outside of the shield were either trying to break through, or looking on with horror on their faces. They knew they could be next. If they wanted to be loyal to Vergil, then they needed to be worried.

It took us a over an hour, to get done with each finger, then the hands, lower arms, upper arms, then upper legs, and then finally it was time to remove his head. While waiting in between removing and letting the wounds seal, I would bite and rip chunks of flesh out and then spit into the open wounds.

By the time we were ready to remove his head, he was badly mangled. Dad did something that kind of surprised me, shocked me, and embarrassed me. He actually ripped Vergil's dick off, and shoved it in his mouth. When he did it, he told him that was for saying the things that he did about sis and mom, wanting to fuck them and other shit.

After that he took his head off, and set it down so that he could watch as we burned every fucking body part. He even got to watch his own torso burn. Then, I threw his head in. We just stood there for awhile watching the head turn into ash.

After the head was completely gone, I saw dad, or the Major turn towards the guards. He looked at every single one of them before saying anything. He hadn't sent them any emotion, yet you could see fear, on some, anger on others.

The Major then told the guards what had actually taken place. They didn't know about mom being attacked, or any of the other things. They had been confused as to why two vampires would try to attack Vergil, and they didn't know of the "visitor" that had been here earlier.

He went on to tell them that if there were any that still wanted to stay loyal to Vergil, that they needed to step forward. The ones that did would meet the same fate as their leader. Any others that chose not to stay loyal, would have to promise their loyalty to the Major, the army, and the other leaders, and then prove it to them.

About eight of them tried to fight us. I had let down the shield, and they attacked us. Dad used his gift and they dropped to the ground. Then it was just a matter of ripping them apart and throwing the parts into the fire.

When it was clear that the rest weren't going to fight us, we relaxed. Dad told them that they were to break up the camp, making it look as if there had never been one. After wards, they were to follow our scents back to where we were staying. I knew that dad would want to have them questioned individually, to find out what they knew.

The Major and I took off. He said that I needed to get back to the family, they were probably having a hard time with mom, getting her to stay in bed long enough to heal properly. We did stop just before we got back, the Major had something to say to me before merging back with the one I knew as dad.

"I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry that I had to put your life in danger like that. I knew that you could be a distraction, but, I also know that you are a very skilled fighter. Jasper was not happy at all with me, having it appear that you were caught. Then having it appear that you dropped your shield, so I could be caught. You did everything exactly as I told you to, I'm proud of you. Even though Jasper is fucking pissed off at me, we did what we needed to do, without injury to ourselves. Now, I need to let Jasper take control. He needs to get back to our mate, and you back to your mama, and sister." the Major said this, while giving me a hug.

I knew the second that dad was back. The hug got tighter, yet I could feel anger. Shit, dad was more than a little pissed, "Why in the fuck did you agree to his fucking plan? What if it had backfired? You could have been killed. There is a part of me that just wants to beat you into the ground for putting yourself into a dangerous situation like that, and the other part is so fucking proud of you. You proved yourself to not only be able to follow orders that sound like they wouldn't work. But, you also proved that you can beat the odds, and that together, we are a deadly force. I highly doubt that anyone will want to mess with us again. At least those that knew Vergil, and us."

Then I felt the love he had for me. Even though words weren't really needed, he had always still said them, "I love you son. Your mama and I wouldn't be able to handle it if anything were to happen to you."

"I love you too, dad. I'm so fucking sorry for messing up, and for running away." I told him.

"Just promise that you will NEVER run away again. We are a family, and even if you think that we will hate you, or whatever, please, just talk to us. That's what families do for each other, talk, listen, and help when we can. Now, let's get you back to your mama, I'm willing to bet that Emmett and Peter both are having a hard time holding her down. She was so worried about you, that she tried to get up and come find you herself." Dad told me.

"I'm sorry. I guess that it was kind of selfish of me to run like I did. What are we going to do about the new information we have?" I was really feeling bad that I was making mom hurt even more, by having run.

"I'm not sure yet. I'm going to have to speak with Peter, and Ethan. Your mama as well and see what they think. We will have to come up with some plans of our own. We will eventually have to tell Carlisle what we found out, but I want to run it by the others first. Edward may have to be included as well, since he can read our thoughts anyway. He actually may have more information that he doesn't even realize he has. You know, it maybe something that sounds confusing to him, until it's put together with what we just found out." Dad explained.

Dad went on,"Just so you know, I'm going to let you have some time with your mama. Don't let her get up, it will probably be a couple more hours, before she will be healed enough to actually get up. You make sure to keep her calm. I don't want her to know the details right now of how we killed Vergil. All she needs to know right now, is that we killed him together. Once she has her strength back, I will tell her all of it. It would upset her greatly to know that the Major put you in danger."

"Yeah, sure dad. I think its more like you just don't want her to get mad at you so that you can "claim" her again. If she found out what the Major and I did, she would be too pissed off to give you any." I laughed.

"Son, I think you underestimate me. I can always get what I want. ."

He was interupted by a growl that could have come from only one vampire, mom, "Excuse me, did I just hear you about to say that you could get whatever you wanted from me, whenever you wanted it?" Mom asked, as she walked into the trees where we were talking.

Oh shit, she was pissed,"Jasper, I asked you a fucking question. Just what is it that you don't want me to find out? You had better not fucking lie to me either Jasper Whitlock! I maybe weak, but I'm not stupid."

Dad decided to try switching questions,"What are you doing out of bed? I told you to stay put and that I would bring our son home."

"Don't you fucking dare try to change the subject! I'm fine. CJ, baby, are you alright? I was worried sick about you. I sure as fuck hope that your father helped you to understand that you can't run from the problems that you think are there. I'm sorry that I'm cussing, but I'm so fucking pissed at your father right now!" she said with venom in her voice.

Oh shit! This was not looking good for dad, at all, "Mom, I'm fine. May I ask why you are so mad at dad?"

"First, I need him to tell me what happened." she said.

Dad tried to tell her just the important stuff, how we killed Vergil, and what we overheard but she wasn't having any of it. He just told her the short version of what had happened, without my part in it. Dad had used his famous smirk on her, thinking it would help her accept the story as is.

It didn't work, she just glared at him, "Jasper, I'm taking my son home. Right now, I don't care what the fuck you do. You are leaving shit out, and until you are ready to tell me everything, I don't want to talk to you! You promised that you would never lie, and never hide shit from me. You are breaking that promise. That hurts me more than just about anything else you could do."

"I didn't want to tell you until you were stronger. Its obviously not good, and I wanted you healed before getting you upset with me. Since you are already upset, I guess that I will go ahead and tell you. First though, I need to ask you, seriously, are you alright? Do you need to hunt?" he asked her.

"I'm fine, now you had better start talking mister!" she told him.

"Dad, maybe it would be better if the Major came out and explained. He was the one that came up with the plan after all." I said.

"What? What do you mean the Major came out? You met him?" she asked looking at me.

Her tone told me that she seemed to already know that answer. It was more like she was just verifying what she thought she knew. I thought it best to just nod, so that's what I did.

Dad said that he would explain to mom. He told her everything not leaving out anything. I knew that she was going to have a hard time with what we had done. Not the killing part, but the fact that Vergil had been allowed to first put me in danger and then dad.

Even though we weren't really in danger. All dad would have needed to do was to use his gift. I trusted dad, so I had no problem doing everything he told me to do. He needed Vergil to think that we were weaker than we were, and it worked. Put the asshole right into our hands.

I watched as mom seemed to stay calm while dad told her everything. She didn't stay calm though. As soon as she heard the part where Vergil had his hands around my throat and then threw me, she got really distraught. I was proud of her, she did try her best to not say anything until dad was completely done.

When dad told her about him being held down, while Vergil was about to take his head off; mom lost it. She was between angry at dad and me for putting ourselves in danger, and wanting to check us both out for injuries.

She did a quick check on both us, looking to make sure that neither of us were hurt. Then, she started screaming at dad, telling him that he should have not put me in danger like that. I stepped in, telling her that I went along with the Major's idea. It was a good solid plan, and it worked.

I could see that mom was still very upset. I went over to her and just hugged her. She started to sob. Then she started to apologize to both of us for getting so upset. Even though the plan had worked, the thought of us being in danger because we walked into it, was scary for her.

Poor dad, he was just standing there watching us. I could tell by the expression on his face that he was feeling left out, and really needed to be with mom. I could also see the pain he was in, because his mate was not happy. She had her shield up so that he couldn't feel her emotions.

I very quietly whispered in her ear, "Mom, I think dad needs you right now. At least let him feel your emotions."

She put her shield down, and I'm guessing that she must have sent him her love because he was over us in a flash. She pulled him into the hug we had going.

After a few minutes we broke apart. Well, I broke away but they were just holding each other. I was about to try to leave and let them have some privacy, but both of them told me to stop right there, I wasn't going anywhere without them.

Mom then spoke up and said that she was feeling like something or someone was headed our way. Whatever it was, we were in danger. Right after she said that, dad's phone rang. It was Peter.

"Major, somethin' is up. You three need to be alert. Ethan, Edward, Felix, Char, Emmett, and myself are on our way. All I can tell ya, is that the ones headed in your direction, will try to kill all three of you. Especially, since they will see and smell the venom on you and CJ, and now Bella because she hugged you. They'll know its Vergil's. Yeah, the other guards came and told us what happened, all of it. That's how Bella knew where to find you. My "knower" told me of the danger." Peter said.

He went on, "Don't try to hide anyone, they know there is the three of ya. I can't really tell ya any more than that. Alice can't see the outcome because of CJ bein' involved. We are on our way, and if I might be bold here sir, you might want to let the Major out for this one." The line went dead before dad could say anything.

We never even had a chance to prepare ourselves. They came running through the trees. We heard them before we actually saw them. To us vampires, you can't mistake the sound of a lot of vampires running. They were on us before we could even put our shields up.

There were at least thirty of them. There was no way I could fight without using my shield. While I can do major damage to vampires, they can do even more damage to me. I can't heal as fast, and I probably couldn't even have a limb reattached either.

I looked over at dad who was fighting with several guard members at once. He looked as if he was once again the Major. I had four guard members leaping in my direction and used my shield to throw them away from my body. Mom, who had just thrown some of her own attackers, grabbed two of the ones that had tried to attack me.

She rammed their bodies together, and then dropped one while ripping the head off of the other. She was fast and she was lethal. She had the other three decapitated before they could fully recover. It wasn't until later that I found out that dad had actually sent them some despair to basically cause them to hesitate and that gave her the time to deal with them.

I had never seen mom have to fight, I mean really fight. While I had seen dad just a short time ago, it was somehow different. They were working in unison, and were taking out two, three at a time. I myself wasn't doing as well. I had managed to rip a couple of heads off, but they were starting to attack in numbers again.

I was still using my shield to throw them away from me, but I was getting tired. I had already been up all day, without really eating. I could feel myself, as well as my shield getting weaker by the minute. I couldn't do this much longer.

Mom knew it too. She had started to focus on me and was starting to lose ground with her attackers. Suddenly she had just ripped into another vampire when I felt the blow. I lost focus and let my shield down. The last thing I remember was looking into the crimson eyes of my attacker who had two others on each side of him, and had pulled my head to the side, preparing to rip it off. Right at that point, everything went black.

Bella POV

I watched in horror as the three vampires launched themselves at our son. Before I could react I saw him pass out. I looked over at my mate to see that he had caused him to pass out, just as he leaped for CJ's attackers. He was much closer to him than I was. He looked at me for a second and I understood what he wanted from me.

I threw my shield over him, and his gift was amplified. He then quickly sent terror, despair, and defeat into every vampire there. It was now down to about fifteen. Immediately, they all fell to the ground. The Major was out full force, and he was more than pissed, he was enraged!

Our son had woken up, since his dad had stopped sending him lethargy. I could see that he was watching his dad going through the crowd and ripping apart every vampire that hadn't been torn up already. He was growling, and snarling as he did this.

Even after every vampire had been decapitated, he was still picking up body parts and ripping, shredding, and tearing. It took him several minutes to finally have nothing left except small pieces to rip. By this time the others had joined us.

Fortunately, for us there were no more vampires here wanting to hurt or kill us. The bad thing is that right now Jasper was dangerous. Peter had seen him enough like this to let the others know to stay back. He was still in killer mode, and he would rip anyone apart besides me, and maybe CJ. He was being totally driven by his instincts right now.

I knew that I was probably the only one that could reach him. I whispered to CJ to slowly walk over to where the others were standing, just by some trees. I knew that my mate knew they were there, but as long as they didn't come any closer, he didn't feel them to be a threat. He was still working over the vampires.

After CJ had moved out of the way, I knew that there was really only one way to reach him at this point. I started looking at my mate. I watched as he moved, shirtless, and bare footed. I could feel the lust starting to take over my senses.

He was so engrossed in his killing, that it took him a couple of minutes to finally feel what I was sending him. It wasn't fake either, watching him move. Watching as the muscles in his back, arms, and lower abdomen ripple as he continued to rip, and tear was turning me on fiercely.

While I hated that my son had to watch this between my mate and I, it couldn't be helped. They couldn't just leave and take him away before Jasper did anything. They would need to burn the body parts. We needed to get Jasper back, so, he would just have to understand that this is part of what mates did, at least vampire mates.

Once the Major had picked up on my feelings, as well as smelling my arousal he flitted to me and had me in his grasp. He grabbed my hair and jerked my head back, sniffing.

"MINE!" he roared, as if challenging anyone to argue with him.

Then he sunk his teeth into the claiming mark on my shoulder. He went to try to rip my top off, but I was able to stop him. Shit, the bite without the sex was painful. I told him that I needed him, but could we go somewhere that wasn't cover in the venom of other vampires.

I was up over his shoulder, and he was running before I could even realize that he had moved. He ran for several minutes, and didn't stop until we got to a cliff. It overlooked what appeared to be a river. It was actually very beautiful here.

Once he had stopped, he pulled me back down and had my clothes gone. I was already so wet, but he still took time to lick, and suck every inch of my body. By the time he actually started to lick and suck on my pussy, I felt like I was ready to explode. It took only a minute before I was shooting my cum into his eager mouth. He lapped up every drop I gave him.

Once he had licked me clean, he flipped me over so that I was on my hands and knees. He grabbed my hair, winding it around his wrist, and then pulled back. He then slammed his cock hard into my pussy.

He pumped in and out at vampire speed, while continuing to pull my hair and head back. I don't think he has ever been this rough with me. I fucking loved every second of it.

"Who do you belong to Isabella?" he growled out.

"You, Major. Only you. Please Major." I replied.

"Please what? Tell me what you want, Isabella." he continued to growl. It was different though, more feral.

"I need you to fuck me harder, faster. Please."

He did just that. His growls becoming louder, more savage. It seemed to turn me on even more, as I was now growling. I felt as if my whole body was going to explode. My orgasms as usual were coming back to back, but felt stronger than they ever had before. My mate was driving me wild.

He suddenly jerked my head back, hard enough to actually be painful. I screamed out, as he roared, "MINE"!

He was close, as he started pumping harder than he ever has before. He leaned his body down to speak into my ear, "You are MINE! NO ONE will take, or touch what is mine! Cum with me, my mate!"

We both came and it seemed to go on forever. Just as he did, he roared again, and then sunk his teeth into the fleshy part of my shoulder, just below my neck. I screamed both in estacy and pain, as we both came again.

We both laid there tangled up in each other. He was licking the area where he had bitten me, placing kisses on my neck, as well a nibbling my ear lobes. He was still the Major, but he was purring. Now, it was my turn.

I'm not sure how much time has passed. We just can't seem to get out of the need to claim each other over and over. It was my cell phone going off, just after our last go around that brought me back to reality. It took a minute or so to actually find the fucking phone.

It was our daughter calling to make sure that I was alright. It seems that we had been out here for three days now.

The last thing the family knew was that the Major had thrown me over his shoulder, after having bitten me, and took off. CJ had seen it, and had tried to follow us. Fortunately, Peter, Ethan, and Emmett were able to stop him. They had to explain to him, in more detail about vampire mates.

It was now time to go home, and talk to the family about what CJ and Jasper had overheard. I did ask Laya if CJ had said anything to anyone in the family about what he had heard. She told me that he had told Peter, and Ethan that there was more going on than what we thought.

There was also the fact that Marcus, Aro, and Caius, now knew that Vergil had been killed. We needed to get back to deal with the aftermath. Caius was pleased, Aro didn't give a shit, or so it seems. Marcus, we had no clue yet.

She told me that there was another meeting set up, to discuss what had taken place. I told her that we needed to have a private meeting first, with just Peter, Ethan, Char, and eventually Carlisle.

We needed to get back, but we had a slight problem. Our clothes had been shredded. How in the hell am I going to be able to ask our daughter to leave us some clothes? Bless her heart, she beat me to the punch.

"Mama, um. . Uncle Peter, and Aunt Char explained more about vampire mates. CJ was frantic about what he saw daddy do to you. Being the Major and all, he was scared for you. Once they explained about what was happening, CJ calmed down. I took some clothes for both of you and left them on the rock by the entrance. Everyone will be waiting for you inside." she told us.

I was embarrassed. My baby girl was looking out for us, but still, her knowing what had been happening was not a comfortable feeling for me. Her dad spoke up, knowing she could hear him, "Thanks Princess. We will be there soon."

"Bye daddy, mama. See you soon." she said, and then hung up.

I loved that our kids could actually be grown up enough to understand the ways of vampires. Yet, it was still a little embarrassing to have them know what we do. It was now made worse by having our son be an eye witness to some of it.

The biting is usually done in private, and during sex, but sometimes its a means of letting everyone know that the one being bitten is his, as well as to remind the female who she belongs to. We had always been careful to keep that kind of stuff from happening either around or in front of the kids.

I mean, how do you explain to your kids that you will bite their mom or dad in a time of passion, and that it will hurt/bring pleasure? They have seen us kiss and cuddle often, making a big show of how icky it was to watch their parents act like horny teenagers. Their words not ours, thanks to their uncles.

We took off for the compound and quickly found our clothes that our daughter had put out for us. We got dressed and then went inside where everyone was already waiting for us, including Carlisle. Jasper wasn't sure of telling Carlisle until he had spoken with Peter and Ethan about what he had overheard.

Since Carlisle was already there, Jasper decided to just go ahead and tell what had been overheard and who was involved. He was also the one who had sent the guards that almost killed us. Now, it was even more important to not let Aro read any of us.

This was the only reason Jasper wasn't sure about telling Carlisle. Aro would be more likely to try to read him than anyone else in the family. At the same time we had already decided to stay busy training so that we could stay away from the brothers.

Jasper asked CJ to join him, since he had also heard what had been said. Carlisle was wanting to have Marcus there but Jasper said that we needed to discuss this first. It wasn't that we didn't trust Marcus, it was again back to not wanting Aro to read him. Somehow, though he had been able to keep Aro from doing just that.

Laya did come over to give all three of us a hug, then proceeded to rip into her brother for scaring us. Just to make sure he understood, she sent him what she had felt when she realized that he was gone. I don't think that boy will ever do anything like that again, just because he doesn't want to have to face his sister.

Peter, Emmett, and even Ethan wanted to hear what happened with Vergil first, and then what happened when the guards came that were supposed to kill us. So, Jasper asked CJ to tell everything from the time he ran off, until we found ourselves victorious against them. He only left out what they had overheard, but letting everyone know that there was new information.

While everyone was happy that they were able to kill Vergil, they were concerned about the fact that CJ had met and worked with the Major. Actually, only those who knew the Major personally were upset that he had to come out.

Everyone was excited to hear how the fight with the guards went. It was proof that as a family, we could fight together and win. This is how we needed to be when the next battle against Caius would happen. We needed to learn how to fight as a team, and interact our gifts, as well as fight without them.

Now, we had a new problem. We needed to know who was truly working with us and Marcus, and who wasn't. Once we knew that Vergil had different plans once the fight was over, and Caius was gone; well, we could no longer be sure who was loyal to Vergil, and who would be loyal to Marcus and the rest of us.

Most of the vampires that were now arriving at Carlisle's invitation, well, we knew that we could count on them. They were friends of the family, and knew that they could trust Carlisle, and would follow him as well as Marcus.

Ethan suggested that since we needed to find out for sure who would stay with us and who would be loyal to Vergil, Caius, or the one who had spoken with Vergil last.

Jasper agreed and then told everyone what he had overheard. Peter, Char, and Ethan gave us different ideas of how to do separate the true enemy from friends. Sure, we had Edward, and Jasper that could pretty much tell if someone was lying or not, but we needed to do this in a way that the ones being "read" wouldn't know it and try to hide their thoughts, or feelings.

The ones that had worked with Vergil, as well as Marcus would have to be checked out. Especially, Malick since he could copy any gift used on him. We didn't need him to be able to get around us if he was going to be loyal to Vergil.

Believe it or not, it was the idea that both CJ and Laya presented that actually got everyone excited. Since the ones that had the gifts that could be used to find out the truth about who they were really loyal to couldn't do it without them suspecting what they were up to. Well, Krissy would take those gifts put them into others that had no gifts, and let those vampires speak with the ones being checked out.

Of course those vampires would have to practice using the gifts in order to tell what it was that they were reading so to speak. Peter said that it might be a good idea to also use Maggie's gift from the Irish coven. She knew when someone was lying.

It was decided that Jasper, Edward, and Maggie's gift, if she was willing would be "taken" by Krissy and placed into Rose, Char, and Emmett. They had no gifts, and could easily get the others to talk, especially since Malick seemed to have an attraction to Char.

Laya would either be close by or there with them. Just in case they didn't want to talk, she could "make" them talk. The problem was obvious to us, what if Malick could take the gifts they had "borrowed" and become immune to them. He was the one we were most worried about.

We also decided that after one last hunt, that all of us needed to get back to the main compound. We had been gone too long as it was, we really didn't want to make Caius or Aro suspicious.

Rose and Emmett did say that they wanted to stop by the human town to check on their girls. They had been away from them too long. While they still couldn't bring them to their place, they tried to spend as much time as they could getting to know them.

By the looks of things, it seems as if Krissy and Felix were getting closer. They both had smiles on their faces when they looked at each other, and were constantly touching faces, or hands. Jasper had shared with me privately, that they would both be stronger fighters if they could claim each other even before training.

Of course, if they claim each other, then they both will have a harder time letting the other one fight. At least at first. Once Krissy is able to hold her own, then Felix won't be overly protective. Yeah, just keep telling yourself that.

I can not only hold my own, but win against most vampires. Jasper is just as overly protective as he was when I was human. The only difference is that he actually allows me to fight now.

I'm so grateful that he along with Peter, Char, and Ethan trained me in such a way that no matter who I was fighting with, if I was helping someone in a real fight that we could work together. Becoming almost one, even if the other person had no gift.

If they did, it was even better. Especially, if the gift could be used against the enemy. That's how I was able to get back at Peter and Em for some of the more embarrassing things they have done to me.

Now its time for us to head back to the main compound. Jasper pulled me into his arms and then held out one arm for the kids to join us. We all just held on to each other. We knew that there was the possibility that one or more of us might not make it through this fight. We needed to take advantage of every minute that we were together, and let everyone know that we loved each other.

Sappy? Maybe. But I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world.

Peter POV

My gift was goin' off like fuckin' crazy. I didn't really want to break up the huggin' that was happenin' with the family but it needed to be done. I went over to Jasper and got his attention. Once I had it I motioned for him to come with me.

He knew I had information, and that it had to be serious if I was interruptin' him. He kissed his mate, and then both kids on their heads. Sometimes, I envied him. He had it all. A mate who was almost as bad assed as he was, two beautiful kids that were really his, and they could hold their own in a fight.

Someday, he would probably have grand kids as well. Carlisle bein' what he is, a doctor had run tests a couple of years back and found out that both of the kids could have children of their own. With Laya it wouldn't matter if her mate was human or vampire. With CJ it would obviously have to be a human girl.

I am very grateful that both Jasper and Bella have allowed both myself and Char to not only hang around, but be godparents to those kids. I often felt like they were my own, and would give my life to protect them.

After Jasper had pulled away we walked outside until we could talk without anyone overhearing us. "I hope you don't mind Jasper but I need to let ya know that right after the shit went down with Bella, Felix started to train Krissy. Ethan, Laya, Lexi, Alice, Edward, Emmett and Rose as well as Char, and myself were helpin'. I'm thinkin' that maybe she won't need to train as much with her fightin' as she will need to train to fight and use her gift at the same time."

"Why? If she just started her training, she has much to learn. Her newborn strength will give her an edge, but she will need to learn tactics." Jasper replied.

"Jasper, I'm tellin' ya she doesn't need to learn. She already fuckin' knows that shit. She can hold her own with any one of us in a fight. Actually, she can beat most of us right now. With her knowledge, and strength, she can win just about every fuckin' time. The only three that she has not gone up against is you, Bella, and CJ. She fuckin' won almost every fight! Even against me and Emmett." I told him.

"WHAT! How?" was his brilliant reply.

"Well, ya know how she can take emotions, and attributes like control of blood lust and shit? Well, apparently, she can also take knowledge. That includes strategies of how to move against any type of fightin'. When we first started with her, we would spar with each other. As she watched us, she would take the knowledge that we had and use it, fuckin' against us! It seems that the only thing that she can take that we actually lose when she does it, is gifts." I explained.

"That's not the reason I brought you out here though. The bastard that was workin' with Vergil, well, I'm not sure exactly what, but we need to be alert even more so than ever. He has a plan that if it works, we all die. No survivors at all. There is a theory that Ethan and I have, but in order to test that theory, well." I said.

"Well what? I'm getting so fucking pissed off at this whole situation that I'm ready to just barge in there and kill all of them. Explain yourself and hurry it the fuck up!" Jasper replied, yellin'.

"Well, it would mean that one vampire loses their gift permanently, while another vampire loses their life. We both believe that if Krissy takes a gift and gives it to someone else, and that vampire dies, the gift will go with them so to speak. The owner of the gift would lose it forever." I told him.

"Alright, so just who do you think is dangerous enough to us that if they used their gift on us, we could all die?" he asked.

"Chelsea."

A/N Again sorry for any mistakes, or bad writing. Please review. I have one of my questions for you. Where would you like to see Felix and Krissy claim each other? Woods, room, or waterfall? I'm kind of thinking waterfall. The name of the mystery vampire will be revealed in the next chapter, and may include the lemon between Felix and Krissy. Thanks to everyone who added this story to their favorites and alerts. Also, if I failed to reply to your review, I'm sorry. With the holidays, and working I might not have gotten to them all. Love you guys.
