Bella POV
It has been three days since the scout had shown up. The men had decided to let the scout watch us for a few days. They were trying to decide the best time for Maria to be led here.
Marco had actually tried to have Maria come now. She told him that it would take her at least a week or two to be ready. She also told him that in the meantime he was to find a location to make a camp.
When she gave the word he was to start creating an army. Fortunately, Lucian had this vampire convinced that he was still working for the bitch. He was of course, still with us. Edward said he was surprised at the thoughts of friendship Lucian has towards the family.
It was early morning and again I had woken up with Jasper gone. He had left me a beautiful note, along with a rose. He had gone hunting. With the vampire here no one was allowed to go hunting alone, and I always had two vampires in the room with me.
This morning it was Char and Rose. When I woke up, they were out on the balcony talking. They had left the door open enough so that my scent would drift outside. We needed to let the scout know I was here, but I hadn't been allowed to go outside, at all.
My stomach had grown each day. I had to start to wear looser clothing. Today was supposed to be a nice warm day, so I wanted to go outside. I was starting to feel closed up. Especially with the scout being here, everyone was on edge.
The scout was going to go hunting today. I was hoping to go out while he was gone. I was to have another full exam by Carlisle. I wasn't looking forward to that at all. It meant more needles, more blood taken. The worst part was the pelvic exam. Since Carlisle couldn't do an ultrasound to tell how far along I was, he had to do the exam.
I got up and headed to take care of my human needs. The stress of all of this shit with the scout here was starting to wear on me. When Jasper had tried to make love to me last night. For the first time ever I just couldn't get into it.
All I could think about was the scout out there watching the house. I knew he couldn't see. He could hear what was going on though. We had to be careful what we said. I was getting to the point that I just wanted to scream.
The scout was going to be gone most of the day and part of the night. He told Lucian that he was going to take his time with his meal. He had more than one need to take care of. Lucian was to continue to watch.
After he left Carlisle would do the exam. After that the family was going to go hunt. They knew that I was a walking time bomb. I hadn't been with my husband, since we left the cottage. I really needed him and bad.
I had blown up at two of the most loveable vampires in the house. Esme and Emmett had both been the target of one my angry mood swings. Emmett was cheating as usual, and when I called him out on it, he told me that I seriously needed to jump Jasper's bones. I had Rose smack him for that. I also told him that he would be sorry when I was a vampire, I was gonna kick his ass!
Next thing I knew I was screaming at him. He had laughed when I told him that. I told him that I hated him, that he picked on me because I was helpless. I told him that he was stupid and acted like a child. He never said a word; he just stood there and took everything I threw at him.
I wasn't really looking at his face when I was screaming at him. When I did, I realized what I had said; I was so ashamed of myself. His face was so sad, if he could have tears he would have been crying.
I threw myself at him and told him I was so sorry, and that I didn't mean any of it. He took it the only way Emmett would take it; he told me that he forgave me. I still kept apologizing. I was crying hard. I couldn't believe that I could hurt him like that.
Jasper just let me cry in Emmett's arms. He knew that I needed to be alright with Emmett. I couldn't believe that I had told him I hated him. I told him that I didn't mean it. I cried for about twenty minutes with Emmett rubbing my back and telling me that he knew I didn't mean it.
When it was over, he gave me one his famous hugs, gently. He told me that he would let me kick his ass after I was turned. I even played with him and believe it or not. I let him cheat this time!
Jasper had understood that with the mood swings, I would be irrational at times and took it in stride. Not being able to be alone with my husband, as well as everything else was taking its toll on both of us.
It wasn't even thirty minutes later that I blew up at Esme. All she did was come and tell me that she had fixed me a snack. She also told me that maybe I should lie down for a few minutes before the exam with Carlisle.
I don't really understand why it set me off, but it did big time. I told her that I didn't need to be coddled, and I sure as fuck didn't need to be told what to do. I actually screamed at her. I went into a rant, and proceeded to tell her that I didn't want to fucking eat, nor did I want to lie down. I also told her that I wasn't a baby and sure as hell didn't need her telling me what I needed to do. The last thing I told her was that I wanted her to leave me the fuck alone!
She was looking at me with venom in her eyes, and a look of shock on her face. I couldn't believe that I had told her that. Jasper came over to me and was about to put his arms around me. I jumped back and screamed at him to leave me the fuck alone!
That shocked me. I yelled that I was sorry and took off upstairs. I threw myself on the bed and started to sob. I was a horrible person. How could I say those things? Especially to two people that I loved dearly.
A minute later I felt Jasper's arms go around me as he lies down next to me. How could he even want to be around me after what I just said to Esme and him? I started to sob even harder.
It took him an hour to calm me down. Finally, he told me that Carlisle wanted to get the exam done, so they could go hunting. They wanted to make sure that Jasper, and I would have plenty of time to be alone. Embarrassingly, I think they knew that I needed to make love with my husband.
I also wanted a few minutes to go outside. I had wanted to take a walk, but couldn't. They were going to let this vampire see me later, but it had to be done in such a way that he wouldn't see my belly. They felt that if he saw me then it would be easier to fool him into not realizing that we knew he was there.
When we got to the exam room Carlisle was already there. He did the weight, and blood pressure. I had gained seven pounds in just a few days. My blood pressure was up. He told me that once Jasper, and I had had some alone time, that it would probably go back down.
He also had me start to log how much blood I was drinking as well as how much food I was eating. At this point, it was pretty much even. I would drink about two cups of blood, then eat food. I was eating like I was a huge football player!
I was eating about six times a day now. There were times that I would drink blood but not eat after. It was like the baby was needing a little extra. Emmett loved me drinking blood. I was now drinking animal blood. Lucian had to drink the donated blood to get his eyes back to being red. They had been orange, turning to gold.
With the scout coming, he needed to look like he was drinking from humans. So, every time anyone went hunting, they would collect blood for me. The taste wasn't any different to me. It still tasted good.
I was at the part where it was time to take some blood samples from me. Carlisle had talked about when it came time to do the c-section he would need to have some information that he got from blood tests. Mostly, he needed to know what blood type to have on stock, just in case.
If everything went alright, I would wait a few days before being turned. Of course if something happened during delivery or after the birth I was to be turned immediately. I wanted to spend a few days with my baby before being separated from him or her.
No one knew if it would be safe for me to be around my child, for me. They would be half vampire after all. Ethan said that Renee had been extremely intelligent for a baby. He had to take her with him when he went shopping. All he had to do was tell her not to bite the humans, she understood perfectly.
While her teeth were razor sharp like a vampire's, she had no venom. I knew that my baby would probably be the same way. I just hoped that I would be able to watch their first few days of life.
Carlisle brought me out of my thoughts by telling me to hold my arm out. I did as I was told. He tied my arm off with the rubber strap. He swabbed the area; where he would stick the needle in. I sat there waiting to feel the sting of the needle and felt nothing.
I felt him pushing, but no sting. I looked down to see what he was trying to do. What I saw shocked me; the needle wasn't going into my skin! I looked at Jasper and he was standing there with a shocked look on his face.
Carlisle had finally given up. When I saw the needle it was bent slightly. He then asked Jasper something that I couldn't hear. Apparently, Carlisle wanted to try something, and Jasper was not going to let it happen. I asked them what was going on, Carlisle told me that he wanted to see if he could scratch my skin with a scalpel. He wouldn't cut, just lightly scratch the skin.
I told him he could and of course Jasper started to argue. I told him that Carlisle would never hurt me; he just needed to check something out. Finally, Jasper agreed as long as I wouldn't be cut.
Carlisle took a scalpel and tried to lightly scratch the skin on my arm. Nothing. No scratch, no cut, and no blood. It seems that while my skin still felt soft and flexible it was like I had vampire skin.
Jasper asked what this would mean for delivering the baby. Carlisle shook his head sadly. Jasper just stared at him. It finally dawned on me just what this could mean for me.
Jasper finally told Carlisle to just tell us the different scenarios that could happen. I could tell that Carlisle didn't want to say anything, "There are too many unknowns here. If the baby was human, it wouldn't be a problem. Of course if the baby was human, then she wouldn't have hardened skin."
He went on, "The way I see it. Several things could happen. The baby could bite and claw its way out. Being half vampire it could do just that even with your skin being closer to vampire skin. There is also a chance that she could go into a normal labor and deliver the baby vaginally. The hardness could also be only temporary."
He wasn't finished, "There is one upside to this, that both of you should be grateful for. At least when the baby kicks her, her bones may not break."
"What if it's the first one? What if the baby claws and bites its way out? What about Bella, what does that mean for her? Am I going to lose her," Jasper asked with what sounded like fear in his voice?
Carlisle looked sad, "I don't know son. I would of course try to make sure that I had extra blood on hand. I would do whatever; I could to try to keep her alive at least long enough for her to be turned. I just don't know son. I will talk to Ethan."
Then Jasper asked the one question that shot fear through me, "Maybe we should just try to abort the baby. I don't want to lose her, Carlisle."
I immediately started screaming. I pulled away from both of them. When Jasper tried to grab me, I started kicking and punching. No one, not even my husband was going to take my baby's life!
It took them several minutes to calm me down. Amazingly, the punches I had gotten in hadn't hurt my hands. Jasper finally apologized and said he was just thinking out loud. He would never make me do anything I didn't want to do. I told him that Ethan and Carlisle could keep my body alive long enough for the venom to work. I had all the faith in the world in both of them!
After calming, me down some more Carlisle did the pelvic exam. I was about the equivalent of eleven to twelve weeks. After writing some stuff down, he said that if I kept the rate I was going, I would carry the baby about three to four months.
That put the baby coming sometime in June or July. Not really much time at all. Of course it was too far off to me. At least I didn't have to wait the full nine months.
Carlisle then told Jasper to put his ear to my stomach. He gently put his ear down and had his face turned towards me. I was watching him intently, after a few seconds Jasper broke out into the brightest smile I had ever seen on him.
He said, "That is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. That's the baby's heartbeat! It sounds like a little bird. Is it ok that it's going that fast?"
"It's normal for an unborn baby. Once they are out the heartbeat does slow down some," Carlisle told us.
I could see the venom in Jasper's eyes. He would have been crying if he could have. Not lightly either. I finally asked him, "What's wrong, why are you crying?"
"I just realized that I asked to have my baby killed. What kind of monster asks to kill their own child? How could I have even considered it? The little heart is beating. He or she is alive and would have felt pain if they had been killed," he said with so much sadness in his voice.
I told him that he had only been thinking about me possibly dying. I also told him that everything would work out. Carlisle then brought out his little listening device so that I could hear the heartbeat.
I lost it and started to cry. Before I knew it everyone in the house was at the door listening to the heartbeat. I could hear their ohhh's and awww's. Ethan came in the room. Carlisle told him what was going on and they both agreed that I would have to be watched closely when it got closer to the time for the birth.
They would both try to be ready for anything that might happen. Rose and Char both to promised to help take care of the baby while I was turning if they would need to. While I was nervous about what could happen, I was also excited. Somehow, I knew it would all work out.
Now, all that was needed was to get this bitch taken care of before the birth. No way in fucking hell would I be able to try to deal with her fucked up shit, while trying to have a baby.
After we were done everyone left. They would be back the next morning, unless Jasper called them. I told Jasper that after the exam I needed to go take a shower. I felt dirty, and I wanted to feel fresh for my husband.
I didn't tell him that I wanted to see if I could shave, before my skin got any harder. If it continued to get harder, then I had to be turned after the birth, I might not be able to shave the hair off of my legs, and I really wanted to be smooth when I was turned.
I started giggling when I thought of a hairy vampire. Only the vision that I had was of me with legs that had eight inch hairs on both legs! I had just gotten done with the second leg when my giggles turned into laughter.
I knew that my husband would feel what I was feeling and come in, so I got out quickly. I put the towel around me and went into the bedroom. Of course Jasper was sitting on the bed with a smirk on his face.
I tried to play innocent, but he smirked even more, "What is so funny darlin'," he asked?
"Nothing that you need to know, Mr. Whitlock," I told him.
"Well now, Mrs. Whitlock I could make you tell me," he still had that fucking sexy smirk on his face!
"I was just trying to make sure I was ready for being turned. I was shaving so that my legs would be smooth for you. In case I couldn't shave the hair off later. I got this picture in my head of me as a vampire with very hairy legs," I said.
He started laughing, until I glared at him! Then he told me, "Baby, how about, I check out your legs and make sure that they are smooth. I will tell you if they are smooth or not."
The next thing I knew I was on my back on the bed. He started at my ankles and slowly started to work his way up my leg. He was kissing and licking his way up one leg, then he started the same path on the other leg.
When he got to my thigh, he started to kiss and lick the inside of my thigh. He moved the towel up as he went up. I started to giggle, "Baby. I don't think that is my leg." He was licking my hip.
"Baby, don't talk I need to concentrate," he told me.
"Concentrate on what," I asked him, still giggling.
"On checking things out," he said.
"What are you checking for, baby," I asked him, now full out laughing.
"I told you baby, don't talk. This is some serious shit here," he sounded serious.
"OK, but can you at least tell me what you are checking for," I asked laughing even harder.
By this time, he had completely removed the towel and was making his way around my belly. He was licking and kissing, then he made his way up my belly until he got to my breasts. I actually forgot what the question was.
He started to massage one breast while licking the other nipple. He had me moaning by this time. I had stopped laughing. My breasts were extremely sensitive. I was suddenly turned on more than I think that I had ever been!
I found myself arching my back up off of the bed trying to get more of my breasts into his glorious mouth. He continued to go back and forth from one to the other breast. He finally started to move up my body.
He made sure to keep his body off of my stomach. He kissed his way up my body, making sure to kiss the mark he gave me. He kissed me more passionately than he ever had.
He kissed my face making his way to my ear. Once he got there, he leaned over and whispered, "Darlin', I have never been this turned on in my life. Something about the thought of me getting you pregnant, and you're carrying my baby turns me on so fucking much. First, I'm going to taste you, then. I will make love to you until the family gets back. I'm not letting you out of bed."
He had me about to cum, so I decided to play dirty. He still had his pants on. I moved my right leg so that it was between his. Then I moved my leg up and down while growling at him. Yeah, I was fucking growling!
I then started to lick his face, while moaning/growling. Then I moved to his ear and told him," Major. I want you to take your fucking pants off. Then, I want to suck your cock in my mouth. I want to lick and suck on your cock until you cum, hard."
My body was moving, thrashing with the lust I was feeling. He was rubbing, licking and kissing everywhere. I pressed my leg into his erection hard. When I grabbed him by his hair and pulled him to me for a kiss, I sent him all of the lust I was feeling!
He had started to move his hips in time with my leg. I could tell he was close, "Baby. I need to taste you, but I'm not sure I'm going to last long enough. I'm about to cum. You have me so fucking wound up," he panted.
Then he moved his hand down to my pussy. As soon as his fingers touched me, I lost it! I came and hard. I had brought my knee up at the same time, and he came in his pants!
He was yelling my name. After we came down, I told him that would have been nice if he was naked. I blinked and he was naked. He wanted to taste me, but I told him that I wanted him inside of me now!
He had me put my legs around his waist, and then he rolled us over so that I was on my side. The leg that was under him was nestled above his hip so that he wasn't actually pressing on the leg. When he was sure that I was comfortable he entered me.
We kept up a steady pace. I was having one orgasm after another. They were almost back to back now. In this position, Jasper was able to really play with my breasts, and kiss me without having to bend down.
He was continuing to keep the same pace until I told him, "harder baby, faster!"
He did as asked and I started to really come unglued. I was moving my own hips in sync with him, meeting him thrust for thrust. I found that if I pulled away from him slightly I could actually reach his balls, from behind me.
He reached down and started to play with my clit. I knew neither one of us would last much longer. He was growling loudly when I grabbed his balls hard and started to squeeze and pull them.
"Fuck baby, I'm gonna cum. You are so fucking tight," he grunted out.
Then we both exploded. We both came hard, and long. I started to feel the same thing as we did the night we actually bonded. It felt as if electricity was starting where we were joined intimately, then flow into my body and then out and into his body.
It felt like our souls touched again! It was amazing, and mind blowing at the same time. Once the sensation of our souls touching was felt, we both came again, even harder.
It took us several minutes for us to come down. Jasper gently rolled away and off of my leg. He kissed me for several minutes before telling me to rest. He had asked me if I was alright before pulling me close to him to sleep.
I was exhausted so it took me no time to fall asleep. It also took me no time to start to dream. I was standing in a field and across the field stood Jasper. To the side of us stood a very beautiful female. Her hair was a beautiful shade of golden blonde, curly, and hung down to her waist. She was a vampire.
On the other side of us stood Maria. I noticed that I was pregnant in this dream. I watched as the beautiful vampire walked straight to Maria. They touched each other's hands, and then the vampire turned and both her and Maria turned their faces to Jasper.
Jasper then started to walk towards both of them. Right before he got to them, I ran and grabbed his arm. He stopped, looked at me with pure hatred in his eyes. He never said a word, just shook his head no and then pulled away from me.
Suddenly, I saw my mother walk across the field. She stopped when she got to me. She leaned in and told me, "Remember my letter baby, remember my words." Then she was gone.
Jasper continued walking towards Maria. When he got to her, he grabbed her and gave her a searing kiss. He then started to kiss down her neck. I started screaming, "No. You don't love her. You love me."
Then he turned to face me. Maria whispered something in his ear, and he started towards me. When I looked into his eyes, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, he was going to kill me and our unborn child. Just as he reached out to grab me, I screamed.
Jasper POV
As I lie here holding my beautiful angel while she sleeps, I knew that I was the luckiest fucker ever! She is so fucking beautiful, and she is all mine! She had gotten even more beautiful, since we found out, she was carrying my baby.
I know that I fucked up when I panicked and told her to abort the baby. Then when I heard the heartbeat, I can't believe that I was actually considering having my baby killed.
I don't understand how my angel could forgive me for being a monster for wanting to kill my baby. She did, and that is all that matters. The heartbeat made me realize just how lucky I am.
After killing thousands, now I was giving life. Yet, now with the change in Bella's skin I'm worried. With Carlisle not being able to do a c-section, I can only hope that if the baby does rip its way out, they can keep her alive long enough for the venom to work.
Then again, Carlisle did say that she could possibly go into labor and deliver the baby normally. That would be the best way. I will have to ask Ethan about what takes place during the labor and birth. I have no clue, and he did say that he was there when Bella was born.
I still can't believe that she had me so fucking turned on that I actually came in my pants! That was totally her fault. Yeah, she has that effect on me. If Emmett were to ever find out, well I would hear about it for the rest of eternity.
I was brought out of my thoughts with Bella's emotions. I could tell that she was dreaming. Her emotions were going from one extreme to another. Awe, then some fear, then love. After that there was fear mixed with heartbreak.
Suddenly, she let out a scream that if I had been human she would have burst my eardrums. Then she shot straight up. When she looked at me, her eyes got wide with fear, and she jumped away from me.
I went to reach out for her, and she backed away even more. She was terrified of me. I froze and decided to give her a minute to calm down, "Bella, what's wrong baby? I'm not going to hurt you baby. It was just a dream," I told her softly.
After a minute she spoke, "It was just a dream? It seemed so real." I could feel that she was starting to calm down some, but there was still fear there. I asked her if she wanted me to help calm her down.
She told me yeah, so I sent her some calming vibes. She relaxed enough to let me take her in my arms. I placed her back on the bed, then I sat in the middle and pulled her into my lap. I started to rub her back gently.
After she had calmed down a lot more I asked her what her dream was about. I needed to know why she was so fucking afraid of me when she first woke up. She started crying and telling me how so very sorry she was for reacting the way she did towards me.
She told me what her dream was about, I understand why she would wake frightened of me! In her dream, I was about to kill her. I asked her if she thought that I would actually ever try to kill her. She said no, that she knew I would never hurt her.
She told me that the dream seemed to be so real that when she woke up, she wasn't sure if she had been dreaming. I told her she needed to try to get some more rest, but she was afraid to go back to sleep. I told her that I would help her.
After tucking her back in, I sent her some lethargy until she was asleep. There was so much fucking shit going on and now this dream. I just wanted to take her and run. I wasn't sure just how much more she could handle, and that scared the fucking shit out of me.
I buried my face in her neck and just cuddled with her. I needed to calm down, and she was the only one that could calm me. I heard the family come in. I half expected at least Carlisle to come and check on her, but he didn't.
I needed to talk to Ethan about if she goes into labor, and I needed to talk to the rest about getting Maria here so we could deal with her fucking ass. I could tell that I must have started to project again. Bella was starting to toss and whimper.
I got my emotions checked and thought of the perfect thing to calm me down. I moved down gently without waking her up and lightly put my ear to her stomach. I wanted to hear my baby's heartbeat again. I could hear it without touching Bella, but the act seemed so intimate. Almost like it was just me and my child.
I had heard Ethan say something about talking to the baby while in the mother's womb. So, I decided to talk to my baby. I introduced myself, telling the baby that I was his, or her daddy, and that I couldn't wait to meet them in person!
I started telling the baby how much he or she was loved already. I started to tell the baby about the aunts and uncles that were waiting to meet them too! I didn't realize that I had woken Bella up.
I felt her reach down to run her fingers through my hair, "Jasper Whitlock, are you talking to my stomach," she asked?
"No, I'm talking to the baby! Now be quiet so I can hear him or her," I told her.
She started to giggle again. I didn't care; me and my baby were getting to know one another! She continued to giggle while trying to ask,", Please don't tell me that you actually expect to hear the baby talking back to you?"
"I'm telling you that we are getting to know one another, now be quiet and let me have my time with my baby," I smirked at her.
She started to laugh, then she remembered the question she had asked me, and I never answered her, "By the way, the way Mr. Whitlock. You never answered me last night. You ah. . .distracted me. Now, what were you checking out last night," she asked me?
"I was checking to see if you were smooth, like I told you," I said innocently.
She looked at me for about thirty seconds then said, "Well, was I? If you want you can check again?"
When I told her we couldn't that the family was back she flipped. She couldn't believe that we had been talking and the family could hear everything. She was blushing!
She said that she needed to get up and have her human moment. I told her to hurry, that I wanted a few more minutes with my baby before getting up for the day.
She got up and quickly did what she needed to do. When she came back, I made her lie on her back so I could listen to the baby. I put my ear back on her stomach. That was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. There was only one thing that would make listening to the heartbeat pale in comparison. Hearing my child's voice call me daddy!
I had laid there for several minutes just listening when something changed. At first I thought I was mistaken. I had to be. I continued to listen to see if anything changed, it didn't. I yelled for Carlisle to come in.
He was there in a flash. Bella was asking me what was wrong. I told her to just wait until Carlisle could confirm or deny what I thought I was hearing. Then I told him to listen and tell me if I was hearing things.
Bella was starting to panic. Carlisle moved closer to her stomach and then listened. After the longest minute of my life, he smiled and stood up. By this time, the family had made their way into the room.
I looked up at Bella, and she was almost in tears thinking the worst. I just smiled at her. Carlisle told everyone to listen closely, without coming closer.
"Jasper, please, tell me what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the baby," she asked?
"No, not a thing. It's just that well, we can hear two heartbeats. We are having twins," I told her excitedly!
With that she passed out.
Marco POV
It was time to call Maria and give her the latest update. I have decided that I need to find out from Maria where I would stand after getting the Major back to her. I have been loyal to her for many years now.
I have been even more loyal than the Major ever was. Shit, he left her without even saying good bye. What kind of shit is that? After all she fucking did for him, and he repays her by running away.
I was going to see if she would let me help the Major, be an equal, if I brought her the human female she seemed to want so badly. I'm not sure what I will do if she says no.
I know that she wants the human girl as much, if not more so that she wants the Major. I know that she is the only human that has gotten away from Maria. I also know exactly what happened the night that she met this human girl.
I was one of the ones that helped to kill the two that were trying to keep information about the Major to themselves. I really wanted the girl, then, but none of us could get near her. She had some kind of shield up.
I hadn't seen the girl yet, but I could smell that she was here. The problem was getting to her. They never left her alone. Another thing that I needed to know was if my bringing the girl to Maria would help to secure my position, what did I want to do?
I really wanted to stay with her, but if I'm losing everything that I have gained by staying with Maria, I might have to change my plans. I know that I could never go back to just being a soldier in her army, not after being in charge of her army.
With that I call her, 'Mistress, as ordered I'm calling with a report. Nothing has changed since my last report. I still have not seen the human girl. She is here. Her scent is too strong. She is well protected."
"The Volturi, have you seen them," she asks?
"No, Mistress, but then it is impossible to see into the house they stay in. The windows are all covered with heavy curtains. I listen to what is going on, when I can. I have to keep my distance at times so that I'm not seen," I told her.
"I continued," Mistress, may I ask a question of you? It concerns my continuing to train the newborns."
"What about it? Once the Major is back he will be training the newborns. You will have to move aside as he has no need for an assistant. He may allow you to be in charge of killing the ones that are no longer useful. Do you have a problem with this," she asks me?
"Of course not Mistress, I was simply curious. Would bringing you the human girl, earn me a higher position? I have needed to know, since it will be at a great risk to me to get to her," I said.
"Do not concern yourself with the human girl. When I come to get the Major, then he and I will take care of the girl ourselves," she told me.
She went on, "All you need to be concerned about is finding a camp that can be protected until we are ready to strike. There will be no need to make an army. My plans have changed."
"You have no need for an army, Mistress," I asked?
"No, with the ones I am bringing, I will have the one I want eating out of my hand. Just find us a camp, and keep watch over the ones there," she told me.
"I will contact you when I'm on my way there. Wait until you hear from me before making a move," she said, hanging up.
Now I knew exactly what I needed to do. I went to where Lucian was watching the house. I told him that there were some errands that I needed to run, and that I would be back in a couple of days. Maria wouldn't be heading here at least for a few more days.
I would have to be quick. If I knew exactly when the bitch would be coming then I would know how much time I had to get this done. It would take me at least four or five days to get everything ready.
That bitch was cutting me out. After all that I have done for her, she was fucking cutting me out! Well, I wonder how she will feel when she gets to the house and finds out that not only is the girl gone. She will find her precious Major dead!
After it's all been done, then I will have Lucian come with me. He will mask my scent and that fucking bitch will never find me. It will serve her right, showing up and finding that the whole coven has been ripped to pieces and burned.
I will leave just enough of the Major so that she will know that he is dead. Maybe, I'll leave his head and burn the rest of his body. That is what she deserves. I can't believe that she would just forget all of the things that I have done for her. Fucking bitch, she'll suffer if it's the last thing I do.
Maria POV
After speaking with Marco, I realize that he can't be trusted. My experience tells me that when a vampire starts to question their status in my army, they become dangerous.
I will just have to kill him when I see him. In the meantime, I need to get ready. I didn't tell him, but my secret weapons are now ready. They are trained, and will do as I ask of them!
I know the plan that I have for getting the Major, back into my arms. It will work. By this time next week, he will be in my arms, and back in my bed.
I have had my secret weapon use the power they have in different ways. Each time I then control the vampire it was used on. It hasn't failed, not once. I am excited now.
I find one of the soldiers that help keep the newborns in line and tell him to gather the few that will accompany me to where the Major is that we will be leaving soon.
With that I go into my living quarters and get ready to go and reclaim my mate. . .
