Let the Plan Begin
Damon's POV
I was in Phoenix destroying another lab of Latnok because they was trying to make more experiments like Bella. When are they going to learn that they will never create another Bella. I was on my way to my car when my phone rung. I looked at it and saw it was Stefan calling. This has better be good.
"What do you want." I said to him.
"We have a little problem. The vampires I told you about that was killing people has just met Hope." Stefan told me. Just great.
"Was she alone or was the Cullens with her?" I asked him.
"The Cullens were with her. They was playing baseball when the vampires heard them. One of them named James notice Bella scent as human but he also notice that something wasn't right. Since she used vampire speed." Stefan told me. She shouldn't be able to. The serum is suppose to counter act that.
"The serum is suppose to counter act that part of her. Her abilities must be getting stronger." I told him.
"So what's the plan. How do we protect Hope." Stefan said. I looked around and notice an abandon warehouse a couple of streets over.
"I have an idea. We need to get Bella to Pheonix and draw James here. That way I can dispose of him." I told him.
"No that's going to be hard. He has two other people traveling with him. What if we let the Cullens deal with him. Any other vampire that comes and try to protect her would make him think there's something important about her." Stefan told me.
"Alright, how about I call the Cullens and figure out a plan to get Bella here to Pheonix." I told him.
"That's a great idea and let me worry about the other end. I can get James there, and let me worry about Charlie." He told me before hanging up. I kicked my car, I knew Hope being with the Cullens danger was going to come. I tried to warn her and him and look where it got her. I got in the car and headed to the warehouse to see if it's a good enough spot.
Stefan's POV
I watched James tell Victoria to get information on Hope. Laurent look like he didn't want to be in this mess and told them he was going hunting. I went to my car and drove to Charlie house. Thankfully he was home. I went up to the porch and knocked on the door. Charlie opened it.
"Hello, how can I help you." Charlie said. I stepped closer and used complusion.
"I want you to tell Bella that you gotten a call today from a long distance cousin of hers that lives in Pheonix, Arizona. Her name is Katherine and she want's to meet as soon as possible. She has agreed to pick bella up from the airport. Also tell her it's ok to pack up and head to Pheonix, Tell Bella that you hope she has a safe trip and to call you when she gets there." I told him. "Now nod your head that you agree to tell Bella this." I said to him. He nodded.
"Good now forget that you saw me and continue doing what you was doing." I said to him. I got back in my car and drove away in enough time to notice Bella and Edward was coming down the road.
"Edward what are we going to do. James knows that I'm human but not exactly human. What if he's not going to leave it alone." I told him afraid. God how could I have been so stupid. I thought that using my vampire side to my advantage would work and they wouldn't think nothing of it. But I guess my scent was too strong and it made James hungry.
"I don't know. Me and my family is going to think of a plan to make him leave you alone. But I need to take you some place else and keep you safe." He told me. We weren't on the street that takes my home.
"Edward I can't leave Charlie. What if James comes looking for me but get's Charlie instead. He could hurt Charlie." I told him.
"Me and my family can keep Charlie safe. We won't let anything happen to him." He told me.
"That's all fine and everything but I would like to at least tell Charlie that something came up and I have to go. What would he think if I never came back after playing baseball with you." I said to him. Edward sighed and turned back around and headed to my house. When I got there I called out to Charlie.
"Hey Charlie, sorry we came early but there's something that came up." I told him.
"Hey, I have great news. I got a called from a long distance cousin of yours. Her name is Katherine and she lives in Pheonix, Arizona. She said she want's to meet you and that she will pick you up at the airport." Charlie told me. Wow, a relative made contact. This is exciting news that someone wants to meet me, but I don't want to leave Charlie. And what a minute, how does this relative know where I live.
"Ummm, that's great but I don't think I can get to Pheonix right now. I don't have all the necessary things I need for the airport." I said to him.
"I checked into it there is a plane leaving for Pheonix in three hours. If you hurry and pack up you can be there by tomorrow morning. It's ok for you to go. I mean that's what we have been doing. Trying to find your family. Just make sure you call me letting me know you made it ok." Charlie told me.
"Thanks Charlie." I said. I ran up to my room with Edward behind me.
"Edward this is great don't you see. I can head to Pheonix while you guys deal with James." I told him getting a few clothes from my draw and putting it in my bag.
"It is great but I read James mind. He is obsessed trying to figure out what you are. He won't rest until he get's what he wants and that's you. He also wants to hurt you because of your scent. He won't stop until he get's a taste of it." Edward said to me. Boy he sure does now how to scare a person. I was finished packing and me and him headed back down stairs.
"Charlie, I'll make sure I will call you when I get there. Are you sure you will be ok by yourself." I said to him.
"Yeah, I'll be ok." He told me. I hugged him and me and Edward went out the door.
"Where do we go now?" I asked Edward.
"To my house." He told me. I got into his car and we drove off.
When we made it to Edward's house, Edward tensed beside me.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"Laurent is here." Edward said. He grabbed my hand and we headed on up to his house. When we made it in Carlisle and Laurent was coming towards us. Edward hissed.
"Edward, it's ok he came to warn us about James." Carlisle said.
"I have spent a very long time with James and I'm sick of his games. Don't underestimate him. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants, same as Victoria. I don't know what you are child but I'm getting a sense that you aren't entirely human." Laurent said. He turned to Carlisle and said goodbye and left.
"So what now." Edward said. At that moment the phone rung and Carlisle picked it up.
"Hello, Cullen residence." Carlisle said. Whoever was on the other end had Carlisle look our way.
"Alright, I'll put you on speaker." Carlisle said. He pressed a button and put the phone back on the reciever.
"Ok, you're on speaker." Carlisle said.
"Hello everyone." Said Damon. I looked wide eye. When did Damon start calling the Cullens. Everyone came and stood near the phone.
"What can we do for you?" Carlisle said.
"I know about the vampires that came to visit you. I have an idea to make sure Bella is safe." Damon said. I was about to say something but Edward put his finger on my lips.
"What is your plan?" Carlisle asked.
"There is an abandon warehouse in Pheonix. If you can bring Bella here then maybe you can find a way to throw off James." Damon said.
"I was planing on taking Bella to Pheonix anyway. Charlie told her that a long distance relative named Katherine wants to meet her." Edward said. Damon was silent.
"Do you know her." Carlisle said.
"Possibly, but I'm not worry about that. Just get Bella to Pheonix and I'll figure out the rest." Damon said and hung up.
"What's the plan?" Emmett said.
"We need to plant Bella scent in different areas of Forks. Maybe we can guide him someplace else and dispose of him there away from Forks." Jasper said.
"Will it work?" Edward said.
"I never killed anybody like James, it might be hard." Jasper said.
"So all we need is clothes that has Bella's scent on them to use." Carlisle said.
"Bella take off your coat and can we use a few clothes that's in your bag." Edward asked. I nodded my head and took off my coat. Then I handed the bag to Edward.
"We may have a problem, Bella doesn't own a passport. How are we going to get her through customs and everything else." Alice said. Just then the phone rung again.
"Hello, Cullen residence." Esme said. Esme was silent for a moment.
"Ok." she said and then she was off the phone.
"That was Damon, he said he has arrange a private jet to take Bella to Pheonix without having her to show a passport." Esme said. That's great I guess.
"Me and Jasper can go to Pheonix with Bella." Alice said standing next to me. Edward didn't seem to happy about that.
"Don't you think I should go with Bella to Pheonix." Edward said.
"No, Alice and Jasper will go to Pheonix with Bella. Edward I need you hear. I need you to read James thoughts to make sure he is following us. You, Emmett, and Rosalie will carry clothes with Bella scent on it to use to lure James into a trap." Carlisle said. "Does everyone agree." He asked us. Everyone nodded their head.
"Good now lets get started." Carlisle said. Everyone started going in different directions. Alice and Jasper went upstairs and Edward turned to face me.
"Bella please listen to Alice and Jasper and stay with them. I don't want anything happening to you. You are my life now." He told me putting his hand on my cheek. I leaned into his hand. Jasper and Alice came back down stairs.
"Don't worry Edward we will take good care of her." Alice said. Alice and Edward was staring at each other. He must be reading her mind. Then she guided me to the garage but Edward pulled me back and kissed me. He finished the kiss to soon and Alice pulled me towards her. I took one more glance back at Edward and he was gone. Jasper put a bag in the truck and got in on the driver side. I got in the back and Alice in the front and he sped out of the garage.
Edward POV
This plan better work. I hate that Bella has to go to Pheonix and I'm not with her. When we get James, I'm going to be the one that tear off his head and burn his body.
"Rosalie put on Bella's coat, I think if we run in the woods and place Bella scents on trees we can lure him to an open field and attack him there." I said. Rosalie put on the coat and I handed Emmett a shirt of Bella's and I reached in and grabbed another shirt.
"There is a clearly in the woods just outside of the line with the La Push reservation. If we can drew him there then we can take him out." Carlisle said. We all headed out into the woods to put the plan in motion.
Stefan POV
I followed James where he met up with Victoria. She didn't find alot of information at the school only that she lived with the Chief of police. Then she said she broke in to check the police records. According to the records the chief found Bella in the woods naked with no idea how she got there. James found that interesting and told her to go ahead of him to where they will met up to leave this place. When she left and he went to see where she was living. He watched the house but could tell she wasn't there, so I decided to make my move.
"Hello." I said. I startled him a little bit and he crouched ready to attack.
"I mean you no harm. I know a little bit of information about a certain person you might be looking for." I said to him leaning against a tree.
"Is that right. If that's so then tell me who am I looking far?" James said.
"A girl, very beatiful. Long dark brown hair, gray eyes, curvy, smells really good. Am I close?" I said.
"Alright, since you know so much. Tell me what's different about her? I know there's something, I can't put my finger on it." James said. I lifted myself off the tree and walked towards him.
"Well, she's not entirely human that much I can say." I said to him.
"Well I already figured that out. What is she?" James said.
"Special, unique. She's part vampire and something else as well, but I'm afraid something was done to her and she is no longer what she was before. But I know where to find her." I told him.
"Where?" James said with a gleam in his eyes.
"Just humor me for just a moment. Before I tell you, you have to do something first?" I said to him.
"You know I really don't need you. I can find her all on my own. I have a special ability you see, I'm a tracker and I can find Bella all on my own. I know her scent by heart." He told me. Huh ,so Hope's abilities does go to different vampires when they are turned. Doesn't matter since all abilities vampires have in this sire line is lesser than Hope's. She has all of them and there stronger.
"That's find in everything but with a girl that doesn't have much of a past, finding her would take some time." I told him. "Now if you don't want to listen to what I have to say, I guess I'll let you find her all on your own." I said turning around.
"What do you know?" he said.
"Well first like I said, you have to humor me for a bit. You see the Cullens has set a trap for you. They are going to lure you with Bella scent and when they have you where they need you to be they will kill you. How about if you just go along with what they are doing and then realize that's it not right I will meet you outside of Forks and give you the information you need to find Bella. Are we in an agreement." I said to him. He seems to be thinking about it. He held out his hand for a shake. I took it.
"Deal." He said. I nodded my head and we parted ways. I called Damon.
"My part is coming together perfectly. I will tell James where to go and now you need to make sure you have a good plan on your part to make sure it all goes well." I told him.
"Why in the hell did you tell Bella that Katherine wanted to see her. And from my understanding Katherine was in New York." Damon said.
"Well once I told her that Hope was alive and well but doesn't remember her life, Katherine was all on board being with Hope again." I said to him. "But for right now we need to make sure the plan goes through. Now I will send James to Pheonix but we need to get Bella and him in the same place. So I say brother why don't you compel a innocent girl to play Katherine and have her call Bella. But you meet up with James and give him a recorder with her being terrifed. That way Bella can go and try to save her." I told him.
"That sounds like a good plan, but what I want to know is how Hope is able to use her abilities Stefan. Last time I checked I was in Forks and didn't see you. Now we both know what was done to her and we both know that I have the serum to keep her human sort of kind of and you have the antiserum to not make her human again. So you tell me brother how is having Hope in her full hybrid self help anybody around her." Damon said to me.
"Well knowing a hybrid that doesn't know she's a hybrid is very entertaining." I told him. "Now do we have a plan." I said.
"Yeah we have a plan." Damon said.
"Good, see you around Damon." And I hunged up on him. Happy with what I have planned I made my way to my car and drove to the road that led out to leaving Forks. All I have to do is wait.
Edward's POV
Me and my siblings ran through the woods spreading Bella scent.
"Rosalie rub again that tree real good." I said to her as me and Emmett went farther into the woods. We was nearing the clearing that we needed James to go. Once Rosalie was done I said to spread out and wait for James and to rub more of Bella scent all around the clearing. When I reached my destination I listen to James thoughts and what stopped me was what he said. He knew what we planned, he figured it out and was turning back around. I called out to my siblings.
"He figured it out. It didn't work he's leaving Forks." I said.
"We need to head to the clearing to let Carlisle know." I said. We ran back to the clearly and found Carlisle and Esme real close to each other. They shared a kissed and turned to look at us.
"It didn't work. James figured it out. He's heading out of Forks." I said to him. Carlisle had a look of worry on his face.
"Rosalie, Esme start making your way towards Charlie and make sure he's safe. The rest of us needs to head to Pheonix. Edward did he say he knew where Bella was." Carlisle said.
"No not yet. I caught a glimpse of him going to talk to someone who may know." I said.
"Alright, then we need to get to Pheonix fast." Carlisle said.
Stefan's POV
I waited outside my car. I heard James coming before he even appeared.
"You were right. There was a trap for me. Now tell me, where is Bella." James said.
"She is heading to Pheonix, Arizonia. I have a person that's already there that will help you get Bella all to yourself." I told him.
"Why are you helping me. Once I have her, I'm planning on killing her or turning her." James said. I smiled. If he only knew that once he bites Bella he would set in motion the chain of events inside her that will bring out her hybrid self. Not in full force but enough for her body to fight and in turn bite him with the eight bloodline of werewolve venom. He is good as dead.
"Well that's your choice with what you want to do. I really don't care what happens to her." I said. "So when you get to Pheonix there will be a person name Damon that will meet you at the airport with a plan that will get Bella away from the Cullens." I told him. I showed him a picture of Damon.
"As long I don't have to share." James said. "Hey I might even have a little fun with her body, I mean she is beatiful. Actually she might look really good as a vampire." James said.
"I thought you was with that redheaded women Victoria." I said. He shrugged.
"I am but sometimes I like to have a little fun." James said. Now normally with my humanity turned off I wouldn't care but when he said what he wanted to do with Hope makes me what to ripe his head off right now.
"Well I gave you the information that you need. This is where we part ways." I said to him. I got in my car and drove out of Forks. I looked in my rearview mirror and watched James watching me leave. Once I got distance I called Katherine.
"Very soon Katherine, Hope would have a little taste of what she is." I said to her.
"Tell me Stefan how is she getting bit by one of her sired will speed up the process." Katherine said.
"Well with the venom that we have will be the cataylst for the antiserum to take effect. And when he goes to bite her he will be in a world of surprise when she turns and bites him back." I said to her.
"Very nice, then all we have to do is deal with the other two but that's later." Katherine said.
"When are you leaving for Washington?" I asked her.
"Not quite there yet. I'm still finding information on the Michaelsons. As of right now I'm in New Orleans." Katherine said.
"Did you find anything." I said to her.
"I found out alot of things, but we are going to need Hope. She's the key in saving them." Katherine said.
"All in due time Katherine. But for right now lets worry about getting Hope to where she needs to be." I said.
"Of course." Katherine said and she hung up. This is going to be exciting.
