Jaspers POV
Bella let out a delicious growl arched her body into mine. I hissed and nipped her bottom lip. She grinned and pulled one of her wrists free from my grasp and fisted her hand in my hair.
"Darlin' we have planning to do." I said reluctantly and pulled back an inch. She growled and then pouted. I stared at her jutting bottom lip and bent back down to take it into my mouth.
"Jasper! Bella! Not now! You can claim eachother as mates later. Now is a time for planning." Peter said and I turned my head to see him blur through the trees and stop at our sides. I felt my Bellas anger rise and rolled off of her. She was standing in an instant and growled ferally at Peter.
"You should know better than to interrupt Jasper and I." She hissed and Peter smiled sheepishly.
"I needed to interrupt you sooner rather than later. If I had let you two start now, Garrett would have been the one to interrupt you tomorrow afternoon." Peter said and I grinned. Sounded like fun to me.
"Why is that a bad thing?" Bella hissed, clearly thinking it wasn't such a bad idea either.
"Well for one, you would have torn off Garretts arm for interrupting. Not exactly a good first impression. And two, there will be no interruptions at all if you come back with me now." He said and I could feel in his emotions that he was telling the truth.
Bella let out a hiss and glared at Peter and I saw him flinch and his emotions were wary, yet still loving.
"Yes yes. I love you too my little sister. You know I had good intentions. Now can we please go back before one of you finds a reason to hurt me?" He asked and Bella nodded. I hopped off the ground and swung bella up onto my back.
"I can run faster than you now Major." She reminded me and I had a hard time controlling the urge to claim her.
"I know Darlin'. I just feel as if I will go crazy if the only contact I have with you is your hand." I told her and I felt her immediate agreement.
"It is getting more painful to be away form you." She said and I could feel her confusion.
"I don't know why it is happening either." I said and shot a wave of curiosity to Peter.
"Your bond with each other is special. Bella seems to have a talent of making the bonds connected to her a lot stronger than normal. And you have the venom bond, and the truemate bond. But since Bella has become a vampire, you haven't truly clamed eachother as mates. My best guess is that until you claim each other, you will hurt when you are separated." He explained and then all three of us fell into a thoughtful silence as we thought it over.
We ran into the house and everyone looked at us as we ran into the room. Bella hopped off my back and grasped my hand. She sat down on the couch and pulled me down beside her. I tried to pull her onto my lap but she resisted. I let out a low growl and she looked up at me completely unsurprised.
"Jazz we have to make plans. You have to be the Major and you cant really do that with me on your lap. It is only for a little while. And then we will be alone and nothing will keep us apart." Her words said firmly in my mind and I squeezed our interlaced finegers.
"I love you." I sighed and she smiled."
"And I love you." She responded and I clenched my jaw and turned away from her and looked at the others.
"Garrett should be the first to arrive. Jane and Alec, not long after. When they arrive we will go over everything we know. They need to know absolutely every detail we can give them about Edward and Victoria. Also, Peter, Charlotte and I, will have to tell everyone about fighting Newborns." I told them and Peter and Charlotte nodded.
"What about, uh, training." Bella said hesitantly in my mind and I had to fight the urge to tear everyone apart at the thought of them fighting MY Bella. This was going to be hell to watch.
"There is also the matter of training Bella." I said and Peter looked at me in astonishment. "Peter, you will be the one to train her on how to fight Newborns. But she is in need of training older vampires as well. She is going to train with all of you. She will need to learn how to defend herself from the different ways that you fight. I will also have the others that are coming train with her. Are we all agreed on this?" I asked them and everyone nodded hesitantly. They all could tell that I didn't want Bella fighting. Edward and that stupid fucking redhead would fucking regret ever even THINKING about harming my mate.
"Esme, hve you come to a decision?" Bella asked and all eyes turned to Esme. She was studying her hands intently and dread, determination, and love were radiating off her. She took a deep breath and looked up. She met the eyes of all of us until she looked on Bella. Her determination strengthened.
"What Edward has done is unforgivable. He has lied to his entire family and is now threatening the life of my children. I will not say that I agree with the decision to kill him, and I definitely wont take part in it, but I wont try to stop it either. He has gone too far. He is damning innocent people to the life he used to say he hated. He used to say that to become a vampire you lost your soul. And even with that belief, he is turning people. He isn't the person I thought he was." She said and a feeling of betrayal swept through her but was smothered quickly. Emmett and Rose were nodding their agreement at her last statement and Bella stood and crouched in front of Esme and took placed her hands on her knees.
"Thank you. I know that this is hard for you, and I cant even imagine what you are feeling about this entire situation. But the fact that you are here and staying with us means the world to me." She told her and I could tell by her emotions, that she meant every word. Esme placed her hands over bellas and squeezed them and smiled slightly to her. Bella stood and walked back to me and took the same seat. I took her hand immediately and I could feel everyones eyes on me as they waited for the next topic.
"Now we need to worry about Carlisle." I said and everyone but Peter, Char and Laurent all stiffened.
"He is Esmes mate. No harm will come to him, no matter what he tries to do. Is anyone going to try and fight me on that?" Bella asked the room and everyone turned wary as her glare rested on them.
"Noone is opposed to that." I told her because it didn't look like anyone was going to say anything. She nodded and leaned into my side.
"But what will happen if he tried to interfere? If he tries to jump into one of the fights to save someone on the other side, he could risk one of us being taken out." Laurent asked both me and Bella.
"We will make it clear to him that if he isn't going to fight with us that he is either to fight for the other side or to stay out of the fight completely. At this point we have no way of knowing that he wont just up and go fight alongside Edward. But we will force him to decide, and if I feel him lying we will force him away. Im not sure of how, but I will not allow him to endanger any one of us." I said and I looked to Esme. She nodded sadly in agreement and I let out a sigh. This was hard on her. She was not cut out for battles or war.
"What about if Alice shows up with them?" Char asked and I smirked at her. She has always hated Alice, she would be delighted if she had a chance to kick her ass.
Bella stiffened at the sound of Alice's name and her emotions shifted to worry, jealousy, anger, and curiosity. I growled slightly and gripped her hand a little tighter. She should feel jealous of noone.
"Jazz? Whats wrong? You are projecting anger." Her voice broke into my mind.
"Later." I whispered so noone but her could hear.
"If Alice shows up with them we will let happen what happens. But I highly doubt she will be there Char. She is indifferent. And besides, I agree with Bella. If thereis no shopping in a trip she wont be interested. Besides, if she dies she wont ever be able to shop again. She wont risk that." Charlotte frowned as I finished speaking and Peter laughed and slung his arm around her shoulders.
"Sorry Babe. You can find a reason to kick the pixies ass later." He soothed and she hissed and glared at him.
"I already have a reason to kick her ass. She hurt my brother and sister. I just don't want to run my ass all the way to whatever cloudy town she is currently hiding in to kick her ass. I was hoping she would come to me." She hmphed and Bella let a giggle escape.
"Maybe one day Char." Bella said wistfully and I could tell by her amused and mischievous emotions, that she was picturing it.
"Back to business please." Emmett grumbled and Bella grinned at him apologetically. Then she leaned forward and studied peter for a second.
"Do you know how many are coming? I mean have you gotten any 'feelings' about how this will turn out?" She asked and Peter shook his head.
"I don't know anything." He said and rubbed his hands hard on his face. "But we have no way of knowing how many they are bringing. But we have 9 people coming, not including Carlisle. And then we already have the 8 of us. That is a very large number as far as vampires go. And I doubt that they will have double our number. But honestly, we could easily take any number they threw at us. Jane and Alec have very powerful gifts. So do Kate and Eleazar from the Denali clan. We don't know about Chases mate, but even without her, we have a very gifted group all together. We will win this." He said and everyone grinned.
"Hell yeah! I sure as hell hope we get to fight more than one. That would be boring as fuck! We are finally getting some action!" Emmett said excitedly and Rose smacked the back of his head causing the rest of us to dissolve into laughter.
"That's the Emmy bear we all know and love. So, are we all done planning yet?" Bella asked and I felt the pull to her strengthen as I thought about finally claiming her. How we didn't realize the bond between us when we were with the Cullens, I will never know. But now that I have her, I will end anyone who tries to take her away form me.
"That is all we can really plan until the others get here. We will scout out an area to have the battle in, or we will just make a clearing ourselves. But we shouldn't have it in any area with trees, because that will give the newborns places to hide and do surprise attacks. So if we cant find a large enough clearing. We will make one." Charlotte said and Peter grinned at us and nodded for us to go.
Bella immediately stood and tugged on my hand and I stood next to her.
"Call us if you find out anything new." Bella told everyone and put emphasis on the 'call' part. She started walking for the stars but Charlotte stood and flited across the room and stood blocking the staircase.
"Not in the house. I wont have you two tearing everything apart." She said and pointed to the door. Bella filled with embarrassment and anticipation and I pulled her towards the front door. As soon as we were out of the house she jumped onto my back again and rapped her legs tightly around my waist. She pressed a kiss to the side of my neck at the same time her voice echoed through my mind.
"Hurry." Was all she whispered, but it was enough to have me shooting off the porch and into the forest.
