Could I disappear?

This is totally non-canon. A bit of OOC.

Chapter 25:

It has been a week since I invited Jake over to meet everyone and spend a few days. Sam could only let Embry come with him because he needs everyone else to have enough wolves for running the patrols around La Push. So, Jake and Embry drove down in Jake's Rabbit two days ago. I really do not know who's the worse in the group because Jake and Embry teamed up against Peter and Fred for the prank-master title. From Jake and Embry duct-taping an airhorn to the back of doors so, when opened they go off and killed our ears and dropping Nutella covered tampons in the toilets and leaving drops of Nutella on the seats to make it look like they pulled poopy tampons outta their asses to Peter and Fred super-gluing all of their short legs together so when the boys phase they can't get dressed and putting Jake and Embry's hands in warm water while they slept so they'd piss the bed.. it was an all-out prank war.

Jasper, Char and I were smart and stayed out of it. We put our heads together planning and training. When the boys weren't pranking each other they'd train with us. Once, Jake and Embry got past the whole, 'Cold Ones' animosity they were real cool with everyone. They were even pretty open-minded about the whole true-coven thing. They likened it to the pack mind.. just a step further if we choose to go that way.

Right now, we are making a graph about the known Volturi guard and who they are likely to bring in September to try and force Aro's hand. Jasper believes they will bring in the very least.. the witch twins Jane with her telepathic pain and Alec with his ability to numb or take away senses, Chelsea to try to remove and force bonds, Demitri an excellent tracker, Renata who is Aro's personal shield, Aro and his gift of seeing your whole life with a simple touch and maybe even Marcus to see our lines. We think they'd leave at least one of the kings behind to rule, but we could be wrong. Jasper believes he may be able to counter the witch twins by bouncing their gifts back to them or maybe if I can get my shield to work I can shield us. That's a work in progress though. He believes our true-coven bond to be unbreakable so Chelsea will be useless, however if they do go on the attack we should take her down first because she has forced several bonds for the Volturi through the centuries and her demise may break them. That would be a huge blow to Aro.

As we are head deep in discussion Fred comes up from behind me wrapping his arms around my waist whispering in my ear that he'd like a private moment. I turn to him with a questioning eyebrow raised and he says, "trust me." I smile and nod. "Hey guys.. we'll be back in a bit. While we are gone maybe you can ask Jake and Embry about the bracelets?" Jasper smirks knowingly.. huh?

We've all been so busy lately. It has been kinda easy to keep Bella distracted so, I could get my surprise for her. With help from Jasper I was able to obtain some of my belongings from when I was human. That guy Jenks is a miracle worker. Not only do we all have a new ID, but I was able to get ahold of my college savings and personal effects. I hope she likes what I have planned..

"Bella.. babe, I need you to close your eyes and trust me. Can you do that?" She giggles and nods with her eyes closed. "Ok, just hold my hand. We'll be there in a few." I walk her out to that spring that Peter and Char told us about. It's enough out of ear-shot to allow us some privacy. I sit her down on the large boulder and ask her to wait. Bella smiles and nods once. I light the candles that are set-up melted into the stone around the hot-spring and grab two boxes and two envelopes. I kneel in front of her and ask her to open her eyes. She looks around in awe and looks at me with her eyes shining. "What's all this about?"

"Bella, I was able with the help of Jasper; to get some of my things from my human life. My past life. My future life; is nothing without you as my true-mate and love. Would you please wear my ring? We can marry someday when you are ready, but I would be honored if you wore this.." I opened one of the boxes. She put her hand to her mouth while I explained.. "It's a Claddagh ring. The little part that I remember of my Irish heritage.. I was always fascinated by it's simplicity and sincerity in meaning. Do you know what it represents? She nods her head smiling. "This one is platinum. If you wear it on your left hand facing out that means your heart is taken." Bella holds out her left hand which is slightly shaking. "I'd love to wear it facing out; it's beautiful!" I'm thrilled! "I have my own male version that I'm going to wear as well." Mine is a platinum band with the Claddagh carved into it. I put it on and say, "That's not all. I hope you don't mind, but since we are vampire and cannot really go back to our human lives.. I've arranged paper-work for us through Jasper's guy Jenks."

I handed her one of the envelopes and waited while she opened it to see her new passport wallet packed with driver's license, birth-certificate, Social Security card, passport, HS diploma, insurance cards and a credit card with her new name. She pulls everything out and looks at it slowly as if making sure it won't go away. Bella asks, "Is yours the same?" I smile and open mine up and show her. "Yep, you're looking at Fredrick Whitlock. We're all Whitlocks now. Are you ok with that?" She jumps forward and hugs me tight. "This is incredible! Thank you, I love you so much!" I pull back a little and say, "This is just the beginning. I was talking to Jasper and we are all going to talk about it as a group of course, but after your birthday.. how would you feel about traveling around for awhile?" She jumps up and down squealing in delight. "Oh hell yea! We are all going to have so much fun! I can't fucking wait!"

I hold up my finger.. "One more thing" She looks at me as if what else could there be? "We had these commissioned when I ordered your ring." She raises an eyebrow. I open the other box and pull out a platinum Tiffany chain with a heart pendant engraved with a small diamond and script 'W' for Whitlock. She narrows her eyes at me and complains, "I'm not a fan of getting gifts.. this is too much!" I put my hand up and show her mine. "Look, I got one too. It's our version of the Cullen crest, but it's Whitlock. We all have something like it. I wanted to surprise you though. I hope you don't mind." At this she turns away and pulls up her hair and looks at me over he shoulder. "What are you waiting for then?" Well alright. "I was able to get a prank truce for the night. How do you feel about taking advantage of the quiet and this spring here for a couple hours?" She stood up and untied her sundress. It fell to the ground. "Let's go!"

I hope Bella likes her surprise. She never has been one for receiving gifts and whatnot. "Hey guys! Meet up at the pit in 10." After I call them I set-up the pit with a grate so Jake and Embry can cook a couple of steaks. There's just something relaxing about cooking meat over an open flame. I know I can't eat it, but it's enjoyable nonetheless. The cooler is set-up with beer and I grab my packets and have a seat.

"Hey, what's goin on Major?" I motion for Peter and Char to sit. "Just be patient fucker. Wait for the others." They grab a seat eyeing me questioningly. "Don't worry, nothin's wrong. Just chill for a min." Jake and Embry come walkin out of the house and I motion towards the other seats.

"Alright. Bella and Fred are having some private time so, while their doin their thing I have somethings I'd like to go over with ya'll." There are curious looks all around. I grab the first packet. "We needed new documents so I set it up for you." I handed Peter and Char their new stuff and looked at the wolves. "Jake and Embry, I got you guys a card to cover your expenses while you are traveling. There's no reason for you to spend your own money when you have to travel because of how far we are. You are both doing us a great favor so, it be great if you took these." I hand them out and Jake just looks at me. "Jake. This is not a handout. This is me making sure we are not a burden on you or your tribe." He nods reluctantly and takes the cards; handing one to Embry. I smile.

"Three more things." I flip the meat and season the other side. "One. Jake, I don't know how you made that bracelet for Bella, but do you think you could make four more before you leave? It's the only thing that works on blocking Alice's visions when you guys aren't around. I'd be happy to pay for it." He looks at Embry with a wicked grin and replies, "Yea, we can make more. Embry's gotta help though. No need to pay though. I'll just consider that paying back the use of the cards you gave us." I nod. "Well, whatever works for you. I'd appreciate it." I touch the steaks and they're done so, I plate them up and hand them out with a beer.

"Ok, Two.." I hand out everyone's Whitlock pendants. Char got one like Bella's and Peter and I got one like Fred's. I hand Jake and Embry a leather cord for their clothes with a 'Q' engraved on the tab. "I know you guys use these cords to keep your stuff with you so, I had these made as a gift. The material is sturdy and there's enough for the pack. You can wear them around your neck when you are not phased." Jake and Embry both nod in thanks.

"Three, last but not least. We need to make a training schedule and put the pranks aside for a bit. Between Edward and Alice's fuckery and getting ready for the Volturi.. playtime needs to be over. Are ya'll ready to get serious so we can kick some ass?" At this everyone nods and says, "Hell yea!" I close my eyes relieved. Things seem to be going well for the time being. I turn to Peter, "Hey, your Yoda shit tellin ya anything?" He stares ahead at the fire for a moment and says, "No, but we do need to contact a few Nomads that will be helpful when the time is right. Most notably are Garrett, Timothy and Samantha. I've got a real itch to get in touch with Garrett. Not sure why yet, but Timothy and Samantha both escaped Maria after you left. Char and I ran into them about 20yrs ago and helped them out of a rough spot. Timothy is an echo and Samantha is a strong physical shield." I mull this over. Garrett.. hmm.. "Ok what's an echo?" Peter grins. "An echo.. will make anything thrown at it bounce back. Kind of like what you do with your emo-shit, but without conscious effort. It just happens. Samantha could help Bella develop her shield."

Jake interrupts, "Ahem, What do you mean Bella's shield? Is that why you guys don't stink?" Heh. "I guess we can tell you now that we're all goin back with you and you know how to block your thoughts from Edward." Jake nods enthusiastically. "Fred has an aversion gift to make himself and those he chooses unnoticeable to others. He can also mask scents. Speaking of which. If you guys can't smell us then we know his masking works from at least a couple miles away." Both Jake and Embry's eyes widen at that. "No wonder he can pull off all those pranks!" Jake eyes Peter and says, "Fucker. You help him too with your knowin-shit" I full out belly laugh and Peter just looks wounded until Jake looks like he's gonna take it back and then he starts laughin too. Peter says,"I've somehow earned that from everyone I know at one time or another.." Bahaha! "Alright, alright. What about Bella's shield as you call it?"

I compose myself. "Well, if she can train it she can protect herself and other's from mental attacks for sure. We still need to figure out if she can block physical attacks." Jake is thoughtful and looks at Embry and back at me and says, "I think she can block physical. After she killed Victoria, I went to sneak up on her. When I pounced I hit solid air and bounced onto the ground. At the time she thought I was just clumsy." Food for thought. "Huh, well we'll see."

Char gets up and brushes herself off. "Jasper, thank you for the necklace. I love it! Now who all is ready for some trainin? We can plan more when they get back ok?" I get up and give her a hug. "No problem darlin." I kiss her cheek. "Come on let's see what these dogs can do!"

A/N Well ok, we got all our docs and everything ready to go. Bella's got her ring to show the Cullens and her daddy her serious commitment. The pendant will show the Cullens her coven affiliation. The Whitlock's will be making an appearance in Cullen-ville in either the next chapter or the one after. All mistake are mine.
