Can't Fight The Moonlight
Chapter 25
Dealing With Ms Swan
Jasper concentrated on the teenager, at first just making her feel extremely tired. To make her want to go to bed, he didn't want to push it full force and have her fall and hurt herself. She was bad enough on her own two feet at school, clumsy as hell and irritatingly annoying. Then again he thought that of most humans anyway, they were all the same to Jasper. Harry had been alright, especially after getting to know him he liked him now - it was hard not to like Harry. Once she was lying on her bed, Jasper used more of his gift to send her into a deep sleep. Once that was done he nodded at Severus, it was his turn now.
Severus closed his eye and allowed his gifts to fully open, he ignored the Cullen's thoughts and concentrated solely on Bella's mind. He slid into her mind easily, and found what he was looking for. Edward was able to see everything Severus was seeing.
"She knows," said Edward confirming the vampires' fears.
"Don't worry sweetie, Severus knows what he's doing," said Lily, smiling at her lover. He was gorgeous, more beautiful than James had ever been. He'd treated her how she'd always wanted to be treated. He didn't suffocate her, James hadn't wanted her to work, since he had money he though his wife working was an insult. He wanted her watching Harry, while he worked. He'd call throughout the day, and if she didn't answer he's call her mobile phone. Just to see where she was, and then he'd gone and divorced her and taken her child from her. Sure James had given her plenty of things, but he had suffocated her. Severus was nothing like that, looking at him; she realized she did want to spend her life with him. She realized the only thing holding her back…was the fear that Harry wouldn't be immortal. The thought of burying her child was enough to make her weep and her heart break.
Edward just smiled politely at Lily; their earlier thoughts had made him eager to get this finished. He wanted his mate; it was times like this he wished he had a place of his own. To get some real privacy with his mate, since Lily and Severus wanted some time to themselves he guessed they were off to his house tonight.
"It was Jacob Black that told her, from the size of him it was before he was a Shape-shifter. Stupid idiot, he obviously didn't know the tales were real." said Severus irritated. "I'm going to have to change a lot of memories; she has a book on legends. Someone is going to have to retrieve it."
"I'll go," said Jasper immediately.
"You have to go now, Charlie will be back from work soon," said Severus immediately, as he began manipulating her memories, changing them, and the words uttered. Every time she thought of them, he had to change her thoughts. It was a slow meticulous pace he had to keep so he didn't miss anything.
Jasper immediately left though the back door, jumping over the fence; he entered the Swan's back door. It was open; some humans didn't have an ounce of self preservation. He followed Bella's fresh scent, and entered her small room. She was sleeping at an odd angle, but Jasper didn't care. He immediately began hunting for the book Severus had mentioned.
As he was looking Edward spoke from next door, and Jasper of course was able to hear him no problem.
"She used the internet Jasper, you're going to have to delete her visited websites," said Edward.
Growling lowly, this human knew too much, why they didn't just kill her he didn't know. He switched on her computer, it was very old, because it took forever to hook up and turn on. As he waited he searched for the book, he finally found it down the side of her bed. He shook his head, damn, stupid idiotic wolves, why would they write something like this? It wasn't just about cold ones, them, it was actually about the powerful wolves, it said nothing about changing though. So they had made sure to keep themselves safe, how very convenient.
Putting the book beside the computer he entered her control panel and began the process of having her visited sites removed. Clicking a few more times the process finally started, ignoring Bella's groaning - even deeply asleep it was obviously hurting her. Good, that's what happens when she dug for information that had absolutely nothing to do with her. Growling lowly, had he never deleted her files? It didn't seem that way at all! It was taking forever. He checked her saved documents while he was at it, making sure she hadn't saved anything. Thankfully it was just school work, so he closed that down.
"Swan's coming," said Edward "I'll open Harry's bedroom window, it's at the back." obviously Swan was in front view of his house.
The computer as if sensing his urgency seemed to finally finish, closing the open windows he finally shut the computer down. Grabbed the book and entered Charlie's bedroom. Opening the window, he noticed Edward had opened Harry's bedroom window. He shut the window and jumped onto the roof, and swiftly entered Harry's room.
"Thanks," said Jasper handing Edward the book, "Perhaps we should find the other books relating to us don't you?"
"Maybe," said Edward, flipping through the book and his eyes widened, he could see what Jasper was talking about. Cold ones, immortal, blood drinker, cold to touch they didn't mention fangs or eye colour. This was as close to being discovered as the Cullen's could get. He could smell the old musty scent of shape-shifter. The shape-shifters were different to humans. Human scent only lasted so long, but shape-shifter scent lasted a lot longer.
Both vampires rejoined everyone down stairs.
"There problem solved." said Severus after fifteen minutes, he opened his eyes and looked very satisfied with himself.
"It won't do anything to her mind will it? I mean it won't harm her mentally?" asked Lily, she felt so proud that this vampire wanted her that he was hers. Naturally she was worried, not because she knew Bella, but because she was a child. A child the same age as her own son.
"It shouldn't," said Severus, "I don't make the habit of using that particular gift…although I'll admit I've never had to use it this much on a human before. She's known what they were for quite some time."
"Why didn't she act on it?" asked Jasper suspiciously.
"She was obsessed about vampires, about becoming one, she had planned on trying to seduce Edward…then she found out he was gay - so her plans were put on hold." said Severus wryly.
"So what else did she plan?" asked Edward naturally alarmed.
"She wasn't about to tell anyone, if that is what you are worried about." said Severus, obviously he'd shut down his gifts if he didn't know why Edward was worried. He was so envious of Severus for that ability alone. He wished he could do that, especially at school surrounded by those hormonal girls. Their daydreams made him want to sick up his last meal. On the other hand he was grateful to have the gift, it had kept his family safe.
"She's smart for a human," said Jasper.
"What if she remembers? Or rediscovers it all over again?" asked Lily concerned.
"She shouldn't remember she's just human my gift isn't easily beat or found. She could rediscover it but there's nothing I can do about that." said Severus simply. "Just contact Black and make sure Jacob Black doesn't screw up again." it was him that told her the last time, but Severus couldn't really blame him. He had assumed it was just a story told by his people. The teen had been lanky and long haired when he told Bella, long before he'd become a Shape-shifter.
"I'll let Carlisle know," said Jasper, now that the immediate threat had been dealt with he wanted to get back to Alice.
"We will come with you," said Edward immediately, Harry stared at him in surprise but didn't argue.
"See you later mum," said Harry, as they all said goodbye and made their way back to Edward's Volvo.
"I did say I was going to show my appreciation for my new car didn't I?" whispered Lily seductively as soon as her son and his boyfriend as well as Jasper were gone. After not dating for so long, she realized she'd missed out big time.
"You did," said Severus a sinful grin appearing on his face.
Lily crawled into Severus' lap, his strong arms coming around her, she felt safe with him. She giggled in delight when he stood up, effortlessly with her in his arms. She wrapped her legs and arms around him as he took them up the stairs. Moaning as Severus began kissing and nibbling at her neck. He knew how to turn her on with so little effort, Lily already wanted to beg for more…he had so much stamina; he could keep going all night. Unfortunately Lily couldn't, but oh boy, she always enjoyed every second of their coupling. He never hurt her, the slightest, knowing what he was now…she was surprised.
She knew everything about vampires, their strengths and weaknesses. She knew absolutely everything about her vampire, she shook of those thoughts as she leaned forward kissing her vampire senselessly. Of course he could kiss all day, he didn't need to breath, too bad she did - or she'd never stop.
She was lay across her bed, Severus removed his clothes within seconds, and Lily had barely managed to get her top off by the time he was climbing on her. Giggling breathlessly, she didn't care that he was cold; he warmed up thanks to her body heat. He had her undressed before she could comprehend what was going on! She just shook her head in amusement men! Or rather a vampire in his case.
"Already so wet," murmured Severus savouring her as the precious woman she was.
The next few hours all Lily saw was stars and fireworks as Severus slowly drove her insane.
Severus as always, stayed with her watching over her, wondering at his luck. She was everything he'd ever wanted, more than everything he'd wanted. Moving a strand of her beautiful red hair, he felt at peace for the first time since he became a vampire. His life he felt was finally worth living.
He had no idea his life was about to get a lot more complicated in the coming months. In the end though perhaps all the worry and fear would be worth it.
ooo whats the complication? will harry be completly turned by edward or stay a half vampire and eventually die? will lily choose to be turned or not do it becuase of her son still aging? not wanting to live without him now she'd gotten him back? R&R
