Wish for a Redo
Chapter 21
Bella wasn't sure what to believe anymore at this point. Jacob had just told her that Lauren had not only been turned into a vampire by Victoria, but that she wanted to help her and Jacob in trying to stop the vengeful redhead. It was all a bit too much for her to take in and because of this she got out of Jacob's car and had to bend over with her head between her legs. Jacob got out of the car as well and walked over to where the brunette stood, gently rubbing her back and telling her to calm down. When she finally seemed to get it together she stood back up and looked at her boyfriend before speaking.
"Jake, you have to understand this all seems like a bit too much and a bit improbable," Bella said. "Lauren has always hated me and I'm sure she wants to kill me."
"Probably, but I think being tricked and turned into a vampire by the redhead changed her perspective and now is rather vengeful against her than you," Jacob responded.
"But what if she's lying? What if this is just a ploy to get close to me to off me?"
"Bella trust me, I'm just as worried about that as you are. I'm also very wary of what she said as well, but she just might also be telling the truth. I don't fully trust her, but it might be wise to take her up on her offer of help."
"And if she turns on us?"
"We'll kill her, no questions asked."
Bella wasn't so sure, but she trusted Jacob so she had to believe that things would work out for her in her favor. Wanting comfort she leant into Jacob and sought his warmth and comfort, wrapping her arms around his waist and placing her face in his chest. Jacob wrapped his arms around her in a warm embrace. Jacob could understand her doubt and anxiety, for he was having those same doubts as well. But if he thought about it, they were running out of options, especially with Victoria closing in and quickly. He just hoped Lauren would stick to her word to help them and be trusted.
Maggie watched Victoria and Lauren as the two spoke the next day, Victoria laying out her plans to ambush Bella and attack her. Lauren was obviously listening, but Maggie could tell she didn't agree with a thing the red haired vampire was telling her. She had heard what Lauren had proposed to Jacob and had been curious as to whether or not she was being truthful. Luckily she was able to see ahead to what would happen and she was happy to see that Lauren had been completely truthful in her proposal and also that she wouldn't hurt Bella at all once everything was over. She had thought about letting her host know, but she'd rather her find out on her own.
Turning her attention back to the two vampires, she frowned when she heard Victoria speak to Lauren saying, "I'm telling you, the sooner we kill Bella Swan, the better for the both of us. And those blasted dogs as well, though they honestly aren't even our preferred target, but we have to take them out or at least slow them down to do what we need to do."
Lauren nodded in response, though her mind was whirling with how to get into contact with Jacob and Bella and let them know ahead of time of Victoria's planned attack. Hopefully she'd be able to let them know before it was too late. She had a feeling she'd be able to, but it really all depended on when Victoria wanted to fully exact her revenge. However what the redhead said next made her empty stomach seemingly churn in horror.
"I just have to make sure to get her by herself, and I know just how to do it," Victoria said with an evil smile on her face.
"And how is that?" Lauren asked.
"With incentive. Before when James lured her, he pretended to have kidnapped Bella's mother. I'm going to use the same move on her concerning her father, only I'm actually going kidnap her father and hold him captive. And that pathetic girl will have no choice but to come by herself so I can kill her."
Lauren swallowed a mouthful of nervous venom and asked, "And how are you going to get Chief Swan?"
Victorua smirked at her and said, "Oh, I'm not going to get the human man. The one that is going to kidnap him for me is you."
"Me?" The blonde couldn't keep the surprise out of her voice.
"Yes, you. You're technically a classmate of hers. I'm sure you showing up on the Swan doorstep won't be strange at all. And then once he invites you inside, you knock him out and bring him to me where I'll be waiting."
"And where will that be?"
"In the woods there is a stream that will lead to a lake and a waterfall, and hidden behind that waterfall is a cave. It's so easy to keep my scent hidden and spy on those damn wolves from there and they've never been any the wiser. It's the perfect place. I'll be there waiting at exactly six PM, so don't be late."
Lauren nodded while making a mental note to find this hideout of Victoria's and tell Jacob about it. She and Victoria spoke a bit longer before Victoria left to find more victims to satisfy her hunger. Once she was gone Lauren quickly left the warehouse they were hiding out in and got inside a nearby car that was left unlocked. After hotwiring the car she quickly peeled out of Port Angeles and headed towards Forks, quickly needing to talk to Bella and Jacob.
Bella sighed contentedly as she laid in bed her bed with Jacob, cuddling into his warmth. She had to get to school soon and Charlie had already left for work, but she didn't want to leave her bed. Jacob had come over early after his patrolling shift from the night before and had gotten into bed with her. He was still sleeping and she was taking in his gentle, strong features wrapped securely in his arms. Gently stroking his cheek she smiled when she sighed in his sleep, seemingly settling deeper into his sleep from her presence.
Not being able to help herself Bella leant up and pressed her lips against Jacob's in a sweet kiss, giggling when Jacob lightly responded in his sleep. Again she pressed her lips against Jacob's, this time holding the kiss longer. However when Jacob responded this time, he did so passionately and quickly flipped them so that he was on top of her. When Jacob pulled away she saw that he was fully awake and grinning down at her.
"Good morning," Bella said breathlessly.
"A very good morning," Jacob said in return before kissing Bella once more. "I like that wakeup call."
The brunette wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his closer before saying, "I don't want to get out of bed, but I do have to go to school."
Jacob nodded before saying, "Or you can show up a few hours late or not go in at all."
"And what's going to prevent me from doing so?"
The Shifter smirked before pressing kisses against Bella's neck, trailing them up to her ear where he nibbled on it, causing a breathy moan to slip from Bella's lips. Bella gasped when Jacob slipped his hand underneath Bella's shirt and stroked his fingers along her side. He moved his lips back up to her lips and began to seemingly devour them. Bella was completely lightheaded from Jacob's kisses and she loved it. She had only felt like this once previously in her life and that had been when she had first kissed Jacob on the mountain the day they had to fight the newborn army. That hadn't been a happy time for her though, so she was glad Maggie was allowing her to have this moment because it was so much better. She just wished that she didn't feel as stressed though with having to still deal with Victoria. But hey, at least there was no Edward around this time.
Deciding not to think anymore about that she went back to concentrating on Jacob and him kissing her senseless, moaning and gasping louder when the hand underneath her top lightly squeezed her breast. She moved her hands down Jacob's bare muscular back heading straight for his cut off jean shorts. Just as she hooked her fingers into the belt loops, there was rapid knocking on the front door downstairs. Bella jumped at the sound but soon forgot about it when Jacob moved back to her neck and continued working on a mark on her there. Just as Jacob was lifting her shirt up her body, the bedroom door burst open and slammed into the wall, knocking several cracks into and taking the door off of one hinge.
"Bella, I need to talk to you; it's important!" Lauren shouted before taking in the sight before her. As she looked at Jacob and Bella and the intimate position they seemed to be in, as well as Bella's brighter than tomato red face and taking in the scent of sexual pheromones before saying, "Oh, I hope I wasn't interrupting something."
Bella forced Jacob to sit up and pulled her shirt down before saying, "Uh, w-what is it Lauren?"
"Can't you knock?" Jacob asked slightly irritated and trying to discreetly fix his half hard erection in his shorts.
"I did, but you guys didn't answer. But I heard Bella moaning and knew she was here, so I just walked in. And your dad left the front door open, so I figured it was okay."
Jacob glared at Lauren as Bella hid herself behind his large frame. Deciding there was no reason to get completely upset he said, "You said you had something important to talk about with Bella."
Lauren nodded and replied, "Yes I did, and you need to hear it too."
Bella, having finally calmed herself from the embarrassment of being caught, moved to sit next to Jacob and asked, "What is it?"
"Victoria is planning on getting even with you tomorrow and has even put me in charge of the task of giving you incentive to go to her alone by kidnapping Chief Swan and bringing him to her."
"What?!"
"You're not going to, are you?" Jacob asked.
"Of course not, that's why I'm telling you this now. She even told me where she'll be hiding out and I'm telling you this now so you'll be prepared."
The blonde vampire relayed everything about Victoria's plans to the couple as well as the time Victoria said she wanted it all to happen. When she finally told them everything Jacob nodded and said, "Thanks for letting us know, Lauren. I'm going to go to the Res and let the Pack know so that we can properly plan and ambush the redhead."
Bella looked up at him and asked, "Will I see you again today?"
Jacob bent down and kissed Bella before saying, "Probably, but I'm not sure yet. Just act like everything is normal for now and I promise everything will work out soon."
The brunette nodded as Jacob kissed her once more before throwing opening her window and jumping out of it to head back to La Push. As soon as he was gone Lauren looked at Bella and said, "I promise I'm not going to touch your dad. But just to make sure, why don't you suggest he go somewhere for the time being so it'll seem like I can't find him? It'll also keep him safe in case Victoria comes looking herself."
"Yeah, that sounds good. I'm going to get dressed and head to La Push to talk to Billy. He'll know what to do to help out concerning dad," Bella said before getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom to do her morning routine. She stopped briefly to look at Lauren before saying, "Thanks for telling us, Lauren."
She watched Lauren nod at her before disappearing in a blink of an eye. She heard the front door shut, letting her know she had left before continuing to the bathroom. She needed to hurry and get dressed so she could get to La Push. Time was running out and she'd be damned if she let Victoria hurt her dad. Victoria was obviously pulling what James had tried with her, only this time she'd be prepared because she had Jacob and the Pack to back her up.
