A/N: So, I received some…constructive criticism, and I don't see how Bella is a bitch to everyone, but then again, my conception of bitch and not-a-bitch is probably different from someone else's conception of the word. And I will try to not cut out all the war parts, but it's all going to come together in the future chapters, so if you can hold out til then. AND ON FURTHER NOTES! I HATE BEING SUNBURNED! ESPECIALLY ON MY SHOULDERS AND FACE!
Chapter 25: A Rescue Job for Peter and Charlotte
Fore the first few years, everything was going smoothly. Jasper and I got the shape shifters to help us in the war, which is going to be soon. But like I said, everything was going smoothly. Until Peter fucked it up, and by consequence, got Char into his problem in the first place. Alice and I both had the vision of Peter almost getting his head ripped off, but talked himself out of it. Now Jazz and I have to go save him and Char.
"So, why exactly do we have to save Peter? Why can't we just save Char?" Jasper asked me.
"Jasper. You know why. We need Peter to help us in the war, and he's our brother!" I said chastising him.
"Okay, okay. So where exactly are we going?" he asked me.
"Uhm, somewhere in China I think," I told him.
"China? Never been there before," Jazzy told me.
"Good, then think of it as another honeymoon, where we get to fight," I told him, and as soon as the last word was out, he started to project excitement. "Excited?"
"Yup, I love to fight. And with the chance of getting to see you fight, that'll just be hot," Jasper told me.
"Uhm. Okay, you might want to start packing, we leave in 36 hours," I said, slightly confused. Jasper started to pack as quickly as he could; he paused every now and then to think about something, always having this dreamy look on his face. It was very funny to watch. At some point during his packing he looked at me with an inquisitive look, eyebrow raised and sending out waves of curiosity. "Alice," I told him. He sent me some understanding waves, before he went back to packing. When we had a couple more hours to go before we had to leave for the airport, Alice was finally done packing my bags, which were heavy as hell, even for a vampire, saying that she didn't know what kind of clothes I would need, and so she packed a little bit of everything. "Jeeze Ali, we're only going to be gone for a couple days, I don't need 5 bags. And any formal or semi formal stuff you've packed for me, I don't need, so that takes out 3 of the bags, right?" I asked her.
"Yes," she said, nodding her head glumly. "But, I couldn't see what you would need because you hadn't made up your mind yet."
"Hunny, we're taking a plane to china, traveling to the Chinese vampire coven, fighting to save the mess that Peter got himself and Charlotte into, then flying back. But I do love you for packing my stuff, even if it is…over the top. I'll make Jasper stop at a little boutique and I'll get something for all my sisters back home," I told her, giving her a hug.
"Really?" she asked me, back to her energetic, hyper self.
"Really, and I'm going to block your visions so that way you won't have any idea as to what it is."
"Yay!" her and Jasper said at the same time.
"Fudge, do I really have to deal with Jasper all Alice like?" I whined to myself, while grabbing one of my bags from Alice, who sighed quite angrily.
"Yes, yes you do," Jasper said grabbing my bag from me and leading me to the car. I stuck my tongue out at him before letting him grab my keys from me. Of course we were driving my GT, it seems that it's the only thing we drive these days, I don't mind it, but sometimes I wish that we would drive something other than my GT, I mean, its not like I don't have hundreds of other cars. "You okay over there," Jasper asked me.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Just thinking. Getting into the right mindset for when we get to China," I told him honestly. Because, I was thinking about that too. "What about you, how are you feeling about all of this?"
"Honestly? I'm kind of happy that I get to save Peter's ass again. I've missed it. The only thing I don't miss is the fact that whenever he seems to get into trouble, he always finds a way to get Charlotte into trouble too," he said, slightly wistful.
The rest of the ride was silent, seeing as we were both lost in our thoughts. By the time that we had made it to the airport, I was zoning in and out. I was trying to see how much time it would take for us to find Peter, and how large the coven was that was holding him and Charlotte. There seemed to be a girl there, that they were holding hostage, probably one of their snacks. She looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't figure out as to how. She seemed really important too.
We got on the plane that we needed to, and I was still zoning in and out of the future, and at one point I growled in frustration. "Bella, babe, calm down. You're starting to project your frustration to the other passengers," Jasper told me.
I leaned into him, and sighed. "I'm trying not to, but there's something about this girl that I cant put my finger on. It's like she's important, but yet she's familiar looking. And every time I try looking into her future, she gets all fuzzy and blurry. And it's just her. No one else is like that, even if they are near her. It's just her that's fuzzy," I told him, my anger getting the best of me.
Jasper started to run his fingers through my hair in a slow rhythmic pace, trying to calm me down. It was working and I started to mold into him, but our moment was ruined by some slutty looking stewardess. "Would you like anything?" She asked MY Jasper, and then she had the gall to wink at him too! I lightly started to growl, but one of the other passengers caught her attention and she turned to tend to him and his…needs.
"I love you," Jasper said, kissing the top of my head.
"I love you too," I told him.
We stayed like that for hours, only occasionally shifting our weight to make us look human. About 15 hours later, we were arriving at the airport and I started to get a very weird vision. I faintly felt Jasper sending me some calming waves, but my vision was weird. It was me bending over the fuzzy human, biting her, then it skipped ahead to where she was hunting animals, then it skipped some more to where her and Marcus were talking about one thing, but then it got really fuzzy and I couldn't see what it was about anymore.
I came out of my vision with a weird, and confused look on my face, and the calming waves that Jasper was sending me felt fake. Yeah, I know that they are fake, but normally they feel more…real. "Jazzy, can you stop please?" I asked him. He looked hurt for a second before he stopped. "It's not that I don't want you to calm me down, because I do, but the waves just felt fake," I told him, hoping that he'd understand.
"Oh, okay," he responded, still slightly hurt. "I understand." I looked at him with a raised eyebrow, slightly questioning him. "Okay, I don't understand. How do you know me so well?" he asked me.
"Thought so. And, I'm not sure…maybe it's because we have all of eternity to get to know each other. Plus it's been what? 4 years since we met?" I asked him. "And about your power, I'm sure it's nothing, by the time that we get to Peter and Charlotte your power should be fine," I told him, sitting up and clicking the seatbelt thing.
"You sure?" Jazz asked.
"Completely," I told him.
PETER POV:
Oh, fuck. If me and Char hadn't been hunting here then we wouldn't be in the trouble. China. I had always wanted to go there, never thought to learn the language, but I had always wanted to go there. Now I wish I hadn't. These Chinese Vampires are a pain in the ass. I tried to mime out what was going to happen in the future with the Volturi and Izzy, but they thought that I was signaling someone. I guess they've seen all of my scars.
But anyways, in the middle of my signing, I heard Char scream as I was grabbed from behind. My hands and arms where held down by my sides and when I looked over to see where Charlotte was, I started to growl. Not only had they put their hands on my wife, mate, and partner in crime (on occasion) but they had her in the same position. I guess they saw her scars too.
I started to snarl and growl at the ones holding her, while trying to bite the ones that where holding me, but it didn't work out so well.
"PETER!" I heard Charlotte yell.
"Char, don't worry! Izzy will come and save us. I promise you that we will make it out of here alive, and all these fuckers will be dead," I yelled to her, hoping that she'd calm down. I was lying through my teeth when I said that she shouldn't worry. In all rights, she should worry. I have no idea if Izzy will come and save us. She said that she would keep an eye on us, but with Jasper, and their kids, she's busy with them. I hope that the pixie will see what's happening to us and tell Izzy.
The vampires that grabbed me, and the ones that grabbed Char started to drag us in one direction. Probably going to keep us prisoner or something. After a lot of twists and turns, and dragging down stairs and more twists and turns, we finally got to a door, and on the other side of said door, was a long hallway with a lot more doors. We got dragged down to the fourth door on the right, and while one vampire opened the door, the others held Char and I and then pushed us in there.
In the room, there was a very beautiful Chinese woman with black hair, cut just below the shoulders, and she was about 5'4. She had brown eyes, and an easy, out going smile. The perfect match for Marcus. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Doesn't Marcus already have a mate? Well, no, he doesn't. Didyme is just pretending to be his mate as an inside job for Stephan and Vladimir. Up until a couple of years ago, no one knew that except for Bella, Marcus, Didyme, Stephan, and Vladimir. The only problem is that she's a human Chinese woman. This is not going to be good, at all.
"Who…who you?" the Chinese woman asked Charlotte in shaky English.
"I'm Charlotte, and he's Peter, my husband," Charlotte said.
"What's your name honey?" I asked her.
"Qui Yan," she responded. Qui Yan…that's going to be difficult to remember.
"Is it okay if we just call you Mandy?" I asked her.
"That should be fine," Mandy said.
"Wait a second. Peter, Qui Yan, that name sounds really familiar," Charlotte said to me. "Where have I heard it before?" When she said that, I wasn't looking at Char, I was looking at Mandy, and she looked terrified. Char noticed what I was staring at, and whipped her head around and saw the terrified look as well. "Oh, sweetie. You don't have to be afraid, we won't hurt you, we promise," Char told her. I simply nodded in agreement with her. I had a feeling that she would become family.
BELLA POV:
Finally the plane had landed and me and Jasper were waiting for our rental car. We had grabbed our luggage and when the valet pulled up in a mustang gt, I was jumping for joy, granted the color was ugly, a yellow color, I was still happy that there was a mustang gt. Jasper started to laugh at me and then he grabbed my bag and put it in the trunk of the car before offering me the keys.
"Since you know just about every language there is, and you love the GT, do you want to drive?" he asked me. I didn't even say yes, I just grabbed the keys and ran to the other side of the car, getting in and starting the engine. I rolled down the window and asked Jasper if he was getting in. "Darlin, are you in a hurry?" Jazz asked. I glared at him before saying,
"Damn right I'm in a hurry. Now get your handsome southern butt in the car," I said. He started to laugh at me…again and I started to rev the engine. Jasper quickened his movements and got in. Right as he shut his door, I took off out of the airport parking lot. As we were speeding along, Jasper started to play with his emotions. I glanced at him and he had this adorable look of concentration on his face. It was just adorable.
"Darlin, do my projections feel fake still?" He asked me, pouting. As he started to project adoration at me, I started to giggle before I shook my head no. We were sitting in silence for a while before Jasper got bored and turned on the radio. They said something important that caught my attention, and that alerted Jasper. "What are they saying?" he asked me.
"Basically that the Emperors daughter was kidnapped from the Forbidden City about a week ago, and no one knows where she's at. Her name's Qui Yan," I translated quickly.
"How does anyone get in or out of the Forbidden City with the Emperors daughter?" Jasper asked, more to himself than anything.
But I answered nonetheless. I smirked viciously before saying, "Vampires. And most likely the same ones that have Peter and Charlotte, which means I know exactly where to go," I told him before taking an exit and speeding down a road.
I'm not going to bother with all the twisting turns and long roads. Plus I've never been to china before…and, well, suck it up and deal with it. So when they get to where they're going somewhere in China….
I watched as Jasper got out of the car, and quickly ran to my side. I was just about to get out of the car when Jasper had his hand awaiting me, very much like that first day we met, and he helped me out of the car. I smiled my thanks, and got ready to bust through the doors of the place that we were at. It looked like that one castle that the evil which, Maleficent or what ever her name was, the chick from Sleeping Beauty lived in. It looked out of place for being in China. I giggled softly for a moment before I straightened out my emotions and put on a straight face. Jasper and I stepped together and we busted down the doors and shouted…."Haaaay!"
Okay, I'm joking. We didn't shout anything, but we did bust down the doors. I would have had to say that the looks on the faces of the vampires that we passed were hilarious. It ranged from shock, to envy, to awe, to rage. "Oops," I muttered.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" someone yelled at us.
A/N: Guys, I'm so, so, so, so, super duper sorry, but this might be the last chapter for a few days. I've got serious writers block. I know where I want this to go, but I can't seem to find the words to get it that way. But I was thinking about maybe writing another story, but have it be about Bella and Alec, because, well, Alec (Just like Jasper) is SUPER DUPER HOTT!!!! Like, omfg hott. So, this might be the last chapter for a while. I'm super sorry!
