Chapter 35:
Jasperpov
Garrett is off with Peter and Char for a hunt before our company arrives. Bella and Fred are out working on some project that they picked-up and have been workin on together and seem to be really excited about. So I am just sittin back in the hot-tub soaking away some of the stress and thinkin about things and enjoying my quiet time.
It has been great seeing Carlisle and the others again, but I think I can only take them in small doses now. I know that they are trying to get along, but the more I pay attention to the emotional climate around them I wonder how the heck I lasted so long with them.. in public school no less. What the hell was I thinkin? Was my empathy so weak before that I didn't feel all these conflicting things or was I just too busy tryin to stave off my blood-lust to care?
Carlisle himself is easy. He is loving, caring and full of compassion for everyone.. He is selfless to a fault and maybe a little apprehensive of the human drinkers, but otherwise he is fine. The problem with him is that he doesn't speak up to anyone that he loves in fear of alienating them in anyway. I'm pretty sure Edward caught on to that early on in their relationship and has been taking full advantage of Carlisle's kindness since.
Esme has motherly feelings towards Emmett, Rosalie, Bella, Fred and myself. When it comes to Garrett, Peter and Char.. She feels jealously, attraction and curiosity. I think perhaps she is a little jealous that Bella, and I have moved on with them. It is interesting to me how she barely knows Fred, but already feels such strong motherly feelings towards him. The attraction and curiosity I can't explain.. Does this mean she is interested in our lifestyle?
Rosalie seems to be adjusting slowly. She was really ashamed about her treatment of Bella and took it to heart when Bella told her they were starting over, but doesn't know how to approach her. Maybe I'll talk to Bella about it? For now she kinda just hangs back with Esme most of the time and feels a bit of jealously, but mostly longing.
Emmett is Emmett. He has always been happy and horny, but now I swear it is so much stronger than ever before. He is amused by the pranks and tricks that we play. Even when they are on Rosalie.
I still care for all of them and we will fight along side of them, but I could never be a part of their group again. Them spending time with us here this past month has felt like living with in-laws or that family you like, but can only take in small doses. Spending this time with them has also made me more grateful for my new family.. my coven-mates and mostly my mate. It bothers me that I missed so much time with him because of random missed chanced meetings. I can't help, but wonder if Alice had some hand in that? It never bothered either of us to be away from each other, but occasionally she'd ask me to return for this or that thing that I needed to be there for, but not really.
It was a surprise that my mate was a he. Not a bad surprise because I have always noticed more than just a person's sex and Garrett's sex happens to be fan-fucking-tastic! Before I met Alice, I was in a relationship with Peter and Char, but felt like a third wheel when they went off for their alone time. It was part of the reason I left aside from the need to find another way. I don't regret my meeting Alice because it ended up being stepping stones to where I am now and we spent some fun times together, but I do resent her lies and manipulations. I wish more than anything that I paid attention more. Neither here nor there. I have the Whitlock Coven now. Every road has led me here. As the coven leader I will do any and everything in my power to keep them safe. Even if it comes to taking down the Volturi.
It's nice to have some peace and quiet when always feeling everything from everyone. I lay back and close my eyes when there's a sploosh. I open one eye and see Garrett there with bright red eyes from the hunt and a huge grin on his face. It boggles my mind how I used to struggle with the human scent and it no longer bothers me at all. His smile fades a bit prolly cause I haven't said anything so I nod and say, "What's goin on?" then send him a dose of love. He moves towards me slowly as his grin grows again and says, "Whatchu all quiet about over here; all by yourself? Want some company?"
"Ah you know, just thinkin 'bout stuff. Wonderin if some of our near missed meetins were because Alice saw us meetin and called me away on purpose.." He interrupts me with a growl and I say, "Calm down there soldier. It is all in the past and we have each other now. We should enjoy it as much as we can." I punctuate my remark by pullin him to me for the mother of all kisses when Peter yells, "Don't get too fuckin comfortable Timothy and Samantha will be here any minute!" I grumble.. "Cock-blocking mother-fuck.. shit." As Garrett laughs and pulls me back and kisses me then says, "Let them wait."
Peterpov
Ha! Jasper is too fuckin funny. I know he'll be in protective mate mode if they ended up bringing guests. Oh well, I warned him. I send a msg to Fred and Bella to get their asses home and call the Cullens down to the meeting room.
Emmett is the first to show-up with messy hair and a big grin and says, "What's their ETA Captain?" I cock my head at him and say, "Any minute now. I'm just tryin to get everyone together." Rosalie, Esme and Carlisle all walk in and take a seat chatting amongst themselves. Carlisle asks, "Hey Peter, do you think they'll really be able to help us all train?"
I don't get a chance to answer because Timothy answers for me. "You bet your sweet blonde ass we can train ya!" He looks Carlisle up and down, winks at him; then comes walkin up to me for a hug and says, "How ya been fucker?! Is this your new coven? Where's the soccer mom?" Emmett cough-laughs and Carlisle's eyes go wide.. then Samantha comes runnin in and jumps on me, wrappin her legs around my waste and says, "Petey!" I missed you so much!" Char comes running up and tackles Timothy to the floor all hugs and giggles when we hear a throat clear by the door, "Ahem, mind if I join this party or is it a full house?" in a thick Norwegian accent. Oh hell..
Char looks up and shrieks, "Birgir and Adela! Oh My God! How long have you been back in the states? Get your asses in here and give me some love!" I face-palm. This is all we need. I can definitely see some problems between the Cullens and our Norwegian friends. I say, "Well.. get your asses in here! I gotta see what's keepin the rest of my crew. Prolly humpin out in the bushes or some shit..." I mumble the rest at the end. I'll let Char handle introductions while I find the others.
I get to the deck where the hot-tub is and say, "Don't hide now fuckers. I need your asses out there! Our Norwegian friends showed up with Timothy and Samantha. Get your asses dressed and out there now!" Jasper is grumbling about cock-blockers again and I say, "Listen man, they are here to help your ass out. At least come out and play referee if we need one." Garrett says, "Keep your pants on Captain. We'll be out in 10 mins. Fresh as a daisy." It's better than nothin so I say, "Alright, 10 mins. No more!"
Now I gotta find Fred and Bella. Easier said than done since those two can hide like no other. I go out back and start runnin when they come walkin outta the woods all smiles and giggles. "Alright, you two. We have a full house. We have a couple extra guests and we gotta introduce everyone. Please get your asses in the meeting room in the next 10 minutes!"
Can vampires get a headache? I think I'm getting a headache. Since when am I the responsible one? I'm goin to have to blow something up just to feel like I'm not losin my mojo. Mother-fuck! I make it back to the meeting room and everyone seems to be getting along. Good. "Okay everyone. My coven-mates are on their way. I'll make introductions when they get here, but for now I'll fill you in on what's goin on."

Today was great! We didn't come out of our room till about 10 this morning from yesterday's fun and she was right I just needed to step away for a bit. When I went back to work on the blue-print; I figured out where I was going wrong and fixed it right away within a couple minutes. We said our hellos to everyone and were out the door by noon to get started on the frame-work for our hideaway.
It's almost 5 so we decide to head on back after a good afternoon of building. Bella and I are almost home and Peter meets us at the treeline all stressed out and I say, "Wow. Peter actually seems stressed out. Since when is he the responsible one?" She laughs and says, "I don't know, but I wonder who the extra guests are? Let's go clean up real quick." We run back the rest of the way and take a quick shower and get dressed to make our way out to the meeting room.
We get there and see Peter and Char updating the new vamps on our situation. Bella and I walk in quietly and take our seats. There are four new vamps. Two males and two females who seem to be paired off. The first set appear to have scars like our warriors so, I'm guessing that's Timothy and Samantha. If I'm right, then Timothy looks about average build with long straight black hair and red eyes and Samantha is a tiny little thing with honey brown ringlets, a doll-like face and red eyes. Yea that's her.. I heard Peter call her doll-face. The other two are interesting.. they are both beyond pale with red eyes. The male is huge! Must be at least 6'5" with wide shoulders and huge muscles that you can clearly see. His hair is so blonde it's almost white and it's in a single braid over his shoulder. The female is also huge in a beautiful; I can kill you with a look kinda way.. she must be at least 6' and is built like a female body builder. She also has super white blonde hair in a single braid.. I'm wondering if they were albino in their human life?
Jasper and Garrett finally make an appearance and sit by Bella and I. Jasper visibly stiffened when he saw the other vamps. I wonder if he knows them? I send him a wave of curiosity and he looks at me with a shrug. I guess he doesn't know. Peter's finally finishing up and says, "So now that y'all are caught up and my lovely coven-mates decided to make an appearance I'd like to make introductions."
Peter stands and gestures towards the Cullens and says, "This here is the Olympic Coven. Carlisle Cullen is the leader, this is his wife Esme, Rosalie and Emmett." Timothy says, "Is she the soccer mom?" almost as if it was practiced Emmett guffaws and Rosalie smacks him on the back of the head at the same time that Samantha smacks Timothy on the back of the head and both her and Rosalie say, "Idiot!" at the same time. If not for Esme's horror it would have been hilarious. Peter clears his throat loudly and says, "If we're all done bein idiots.." Everyone's cracking up. Even Esme this time.
He smiles wide and tries again, "Alright you funny fuckers, let's get on with it. This here is Timothy and Samantha. My brother and sister from another mister. They brought along a couple of old friends that I haven't seen in a dog's age. This here is Birgir and Adela. If you need an ass kicked.. this is who I'd go to first." Everyone nods to each other and Bella raises her hand.
Peter looks at her with a big grin and says, "What is it sugar? You know this aint no school or nothin. What's up?" Bella smiles sweet as pie and says, "Birgir, would it be ok if I called you Birgir Meister? Pleeease! I always wanted to say that I know a Birgir Meister!" I nearly lose it. Only my Bella would ask the giant ass-mother-fucker if she could call him Birgir Meister. Birgir nods his head and says in his thick accent, "Of course min kjære, only for you." Both he and Adela smile at Bella and Bella is bouncing in her seat.
"Alright now the Whitlock Coven is lead by Jasper AKA: The God of War, his mate is Garrett a soldier in his own right. Myself the Captain and the lovely Charlotte y'all know is my mate. Our Fred who is new to this life, but has a most interesting gift and his true-mate is that sweet lil thing right there who is also my sugar, but you can call her Bella. We need to train her on her gift. The interesting part in all this is that we are a True-Coven. Kindred-spirits. Coven-mates. Any questions?"
Timothy speaks up again and says, "Well Peter didn't you just hit the coven-mate lottery.. dang!" Samantha smacks him and says, "It's nice to meet you all. What are the gifts that you need help training in?" I've had enough of being spoken for so I say, "Well, I'm not sure what to call it, but I can mask all of our scents and I can repel others so, they do not notice myself or whomever I have masked.. I guess we can call it my mask.." Our new friends eyes widen and Timothy whistles and says, "Nice fucking gift there buddy. How about the sweet thing?" I narrow my eyes at him and Samantha is on cue with her smack and I say, "Bella's gift we believe is a mental and physical shield. She has been able to use it unconsciously, but we'd like to know if she can use it on others and at will." Samantha smiles at me and says, "Well if anyone can train her it would be me. I'm a physical shield and have been using it at will for about 50 years or so now." Wow.. I say, "Awesome, do any of the rest of you have gifts?"
Samantha says, "Yes. Timothy is an Echo. When others try to use a mental gift on him it bounces back at them many times like an echo would do. Birgir is a strong man. He has unusual strength even for our kind and he can go berserker when greatly outnumbered. Adela can confuse others to make them forget what they're doing. It sounded like Petey was in real trouble so, we brought them to help out." My eyes are wide and I say, "Incredible, Birgir.. Can you explain berserker to me?" He nods and says, "When I go berserker I go into a trance and destroy all enemies in my path. Only min kjærlighet can break me out of my trance." he put his arm around Adela and brought her into a hug. Wow.. "Thank you."
Jasper takes the floor, speaks up for the first time and says, "I appreciate y'all comin all this way to help Peter out, but are y'all willin to fight and train with all of us? I ask now because we may have to deal with the Voturi sooner than later because of some Volturi spies that wish us harm. If you do stay, you risk being discovered as gifted and will be under Aro's radar for aqusition."
Timothy nods and looks serious for the first time since they've been here. And responds, "Thank you for your consideration and warning us however, I am told that Aro can read people through touch. I'm afraid we've already been indirectly put under his radar. I can speak for myself and Samantha. We will stay and fight." Jasper nods and Birgir says, "Yes. I agree with Timothy. We will stay and fight." Jasper nods again and says, "Thank you all for coming all the way out here on such short notice. We would be honored to train and fight with all of you. For now though, I know you must be tired from all of your traveling. Would y'all like to settle into your rooms and begin plannin tomorrow at dawn?"
Everyone nods and Peter says, "Timothy and dollface. We got your regular room set-up for ya. Char babe, can you show them to their room?" Char smiles and says, "No problem honey pie." Peter looks at her like she grew another head.. and says, "Thank you kindly cupcake." and winks at her. She giggles and is off. Peter's still grinning when he says, "Birgir and Adela, do you want to stay near Timothy and Samantha or do you mind bein on the East wing?" Adela says, "We are ok anywhere. It does not matter." Peter nods and says, "Very well, y'all can pick an empty room on the East wing. It will probably be more quiet for ya's anyway. I'll get you settled in." They nod and Peter takes them to their room.
I close my eyes trying to adjust to all the changes. This should be interesting. I grab Bella's hand and ask, "Babe, you wanna go back to work on the project some more before we are knee deep in training and stuff?" She squeezes my hand and smiles, "Sounds perfect. We'll see you guys tomorrow. We need to get as much done as we can before it gets crazy here." With that we are off. Can't wait till our little place of quiet is ready.
A/N Phew! Lot's goin on here.. We got some Nomads. They are all mine. Do you like them? I hope so 'cause they are gonna kick some big ole Volturi arse! I may even do a one shot of them just for fun. I have so many ideas for those four. All mistakes are mine!
