Chapter 28: What the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks?
B POV
I scarf down breakfast as fast as possible so that Edward and I can retreat from the rest of the vampires.
"How can you stand that?" Tanya cringes at the plate of deliciously fluffy pancakes I'm eating.
"Easy. They're delicious." I grin as I take another huge bite.
"Ick." Tanya shivers and takes a seat on the opposite side of the table. "Congratulations by the way, on your engagement."
"Thanks." I answer after I've swallowed my food.
"I think I'm the one who should be thanking you." Tanya winks.
"Umm…why?" I ask stupidly.
"Well, Edward's ardour at your answer and your responding arousal were enough to send this entire house of Vampires into a sex crazed frenzy. I mean even Carlisle and Esme were driven to the point where they had to release some tension."
"What?" My mouth falls open and syrup drips on my chin.
"Yep. Carlisle and Esme. Carmen and Eleazar. Rose and Emmett. Jazz and Alice. Me, Kate and Irina. It all sent us into some crazy hormone enraged sex fest. Why didn't you tell me you were an empath too?"
"Umm, I'm not." I choke. "It couldn't have been me."
"Well I beg to differ, but yes it was. The feelings of lust coming from Edward were enough to make a girl wet. But the ones coming from you, well they were so much that we were all basically dry humping each other in the living room."
"Oh my God." I set my fork down and wipe my mouth at the information that has just been given me. "I did that?"
"Yep," Jasper answers as he pushes himself off the kitchen doorjamb. "I haven't felt anything like that since Kate tried to put the moves on me. It was like someone ignited a pheromone bomb in the house. Emmett had his pants off and was fucking Rose against a wall before any of us could even get out of the room. Carlisle and Esme had the restraint to at least make it to their room. Alice and I just ran for the forest."
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." I chant over and over as Tanya and Jasper snort at my discomfort.
"What's wrong?" Edward asks as he wanders in. "Bella are you okay?"
"You're fiancé is fine." Tanya answers for me. "Just facing the fact that she's a human lust machine."
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean Tanya?" Edward fires at her as he sits next to me and wraps his arm around my shoulder.
"It means…" Tanya huffs. "Your little celebration at your engagement last night caused a chain reaction orgy in the house."
"Huh?"
"A sex fest." Jasper adds.
"A bona fide free for all fuck party." Tanya answers. "Everyone in this house felt it and reacted."
"Wow." Edward breathes. "How?"
"Bella. She was throwing off a wave of lust that would make the entire Vatican city start humping everything in sight. Did you know she was an empath?" Tanya asks.
"Umm, no. She's not."
"Edward…I think I am." I answer quietly.
"What?" He looks at me confused.
"My powers seem to be manifesting at a rate that I can't keep up with. I mean at first it was just that I could hear thoughts, now I can block them. I can block my mind, I can unblock my mind. I'm giving orders to the entire pack. And Edward I keep having these dreams. Premonition type dreams." I fire everything off without taking a breath.
"Wow…okay." Edward nods. "So what does this mean now?"
"It means." I growl. "In a family full of freaks I'm the biggest one of them all." I'm so pissed that I'm close to phasing. What does this all mean? How can I keep manifesting powers? How do I control them all?
"Maybe you just need a nap Bella." Edward offers. "Maybe all this stress is just adding to your already fragile state of mind."
"Don't." I growl as a clap of thunder makes the walls shake the entire structure.
"Where did that come from?" Jazz asks, eyes wide as he heads to the back door to look up at the sky. I swiftly stand and head over to look as well. The entire sky looks almost like a greenish gray and it's swirling, like it's threatening to spit forth a giant tornado.
"Are you doing that too?" Jazz breathes.
"SURE!" I yell. "LET'S ADD THAT TO THE LIST OF THINGS THAT MAKE BELLA A FREAK? Mind reader, check. Empath, check. Matriarch-wolf, check. Controller of weather, CHECK! I WISH I COULD JUST SWITCH EVERYTHING OFF! I CAN'T BE ALL OF THESE THINGS!" I roar over the thunder that's echoing my frustration.
"Umm…Bella. You need to calm down, like now." Tanya answers.
"WHY?" I shout.
"Because we're all about to be picked up like Dorothy and whisked off to the magical land of Oz." She answers as she points to the twister that's descending from the heavens.
"Bella? Love." Edward approaches me. He grasps my shoulders in his hands and looks me in the eye. "It's okay. We'll figure this out. What do you want to do? Do you want to speak to Carlisle and Eleazar or go talk to Billy and the rest of the pack?"
"Honestly?" I answer letting my anger ebb away. "I want to just go lie down. Come to bed with me?"
"Okay." He nods softly and pulls me into a hug. I melt into his arms and let the tears of frustration that I've been holding fall away.
"Well the spinney cloud of doom is gone." Tanya breathes. "But now it's starting to piss rain."
"Tanya shut up." Edward answers as he swipes my legs out from under me and carries me upstairs. I cling to his shirt, letting his 'Edward scent' take over my senses.
"Sheesh, maybe both of you should change your tampon." Tanya tosses out of the side of her mouth before she disappears into the living room. Edward's low growl reverberates in his chest but he doesn't say anything. He shoots us upstairs and gently lays me down on his bed. I pull him with me and lay my head against his chest, his arms cradle me and rub soothing circles on my lower back.
"Bella, are you sure you're okay?" Edward whispers against the crown of my head in between kisses.
"Yeah, this is all just getting so intense." I yawn hugely and nuzzle further into his chest. "Just hold me, stay with me."
"I'm not going anywhere." Edward replies as my eyelids droop to a close.
The next thing I'm aware of is running through the forest. It's sundown and the sunlight is breaking through the trees and casting long shadows. I'm in wolf form so everything is sharp and focused. I keep pushing myself forward, knowing where I need to go but not where I will end up. I'm following a scent trail, of a wolf, a very powerful wolf. It keeps getting stronger and stronger. I am closing in on him and as a clearing comes into view I push harder. The light is getting brighter and brighter and as I burst into the clearing the light floods my eyes. I skid to a stop and push my snout into the ground to try and prevent the sun from blinding me.
The light slowly dims and I lift my head and squint, trying to make out who is standing in front of me. My eyes start at his moccasin clad feet and travel upwards to see that he is wearing a leather robe. He carries a tall walking stick with intricate carvings along the entire length and stones set into it. His long gray and black hair is crowned by a wolf hide. The snout rests above his forehead and the body of it rests on his shoulders. His eyes twinkle and he opens his arms to me.
"Isabella." His gruff voice is filled with pride and welcome. It makes me feel safe and I bow to him to show him I understand he is a friend and means me no harm. "Young one would you mind phasing back to your human form?" I nod and immediately shift into myself again. For some reason a sheet has found its way around my body and covers me. I approach the old man.
"Hello Miss Swan." He bows his head and I bow mine in return.
"Hello." I answer back. "I seem to be at a disadvantage here. You know my name but I do not know yours."
"They call me Taha Aki." He answers as he begins walking through the forest. I follow quickly as my thoughts zing wildly through my head. Taha Aki? The Great Chieftain? The one who disappeared after he killed the cold woman?
"Yes the very same." He answers my unvoiced thought.
"You can read thoughts too?" I stammer.
"Yes Isabella. I can." He stops walking and I look up to see that we're standing next to a very tall, thick tree. "I can also control things with my mind."
"Like the weather?" I ask quickly looking into his eyes.
"Yes," He chuckles. "Like the weather."
"How? Why? What?" I stammer as I search his face for answers.
"First things first Isabella," he puts a hand up to silence me. "How are you?"
"I…I…I don't know." I breakdown as I let the tears roll down my face. His strong arms warp around my shoulder and he hugs me. Like a father cradling a child, he just lets me cry my eyes out until I can't cry anymore. As I get past my last sniffles he pulls back.
"All better?" He asks.
"Yeah." I nod softly and rub my eyes once more.
"Good. Now," He sits down on a large root and I take a seat on the other. "I'm going to tell you a story. Just like the ones you have heard from the Council Members." I nod once in understanding and remain quiet.
"Now, you know the story of the Cold Ones and the story of the Third Wife. However, you remain ignorant of what became of me after that series of events. It is true, I fled. I fled from the anguish and the pain. I remained in wolf form for years, decades even, due to the anger and resentment I harbored in my soul. It wasn't until I came across a scene in the forest, nearly two decades ago was I truly able to forgive. You see, before the terrible misfortunes of that day I had been having dreams; vivid dreams of a young Cold One and a she wolf. These two were wrapped in a warm embrace, a lover's embrace; the same embrace I had held my dear wife in the day before she bravely took her own life." He takes a shaky breath before continuing.
"This young vampire was the same young vampire I witnessed take a life. I watched, stunned as he took the life of an innocent. I couldn't believe that the man who had been haunting my visions was before me, and killing. It went against everything I felt when I witnessed these two lovers.
"It wasn't thirty seconds later that another Cold One stormed into the scene, pulling him from the neck of the other. He then took the life of the human that also witnessed this tragic occurrence. I remember being shocked beyond feeling, beyond anger.
"I couldn't help myself though; the anger that had been festering within me exploded and my soul morphed into this whole other thing completely. I was suddenly able to read the minds of these two killers and the only thing that registered with me, the only thing that kept me from tearing them limb from limb was the regret. The vast amount of regret they both shared immediately after the fact. I had been programmed to believe that these beings were only out to kill without care, without feeling and here were these two creatures of the night who were actually remorseful for having to take a life. It changed my whole outlook on Vampires.
"I was able to let go of my anger, let go of the stigma that I had stuck in my head for years. The sheer hatred that I had always had for these creatures began to ebb and I began to understand that not all of them were bad. I followed these two men to their home and much to my dismay the thoughts of all of these creatures rang with sorrow and worry and love, the strength and amount of which blew me away.
"That was when I began to wait, to wait for you Isabella. I had found one piece of the puzzle, but the other was still out there. I didn't have to wait long however, you made yourself known the moment you began to shadow little Jacob Black through the forest. You were born and I knew, I knew what you were going to be, who you were going to be.
"You Isabella Swan, have been born into this world in order to protect the Quileute tribe. Above all others, you are the most powerful, most trusted, most responsible, most authoritative member of the pack. I have chosen you Bella; I have chosen to move on with my life and to leave you as high Shaman and Matriarch of the Quileute."
