The Singer Connection

Chapter 38

EPOV

Like synchronized swimmers, we converged on the bunker. It was clearly apparent the intruders were being blocked by Jessie's shield since they could not get within a foot of the building, not as if they were not continually trying. The distraction worked in our favor as everyone charged in at once. Thankfully, they never did have a chance to grab any hostages. It was basically a free-for-all with everyone scattered in their own little skirmishes. The hardest ones to watch were the so called youngest of us, like Seth, he looked all of fifteen, but in actuality he was twenty-five. Most of us still looked like we under twenty when some of us were well over 300 years old and the wolves were no exception.

Running pure in defensive mode I went after the biggest like Emmett, I enjoyed the challenge. It also meant the smaller ones would be left for our wives. What can I say; I was from a time when it was a husbandly duty to protect our wives. Not that Bella really needed my protection anymore, but she let me do it anyway. Therefore, when a giant carnivore started stalking towards Bella you know I was the one behind him slowing his forward movement. He didn't need his right arm, but it did get him turned around so now his aggression was focused on me. I quickly smiled at Bella when hands on hips, she stomped her foot before stalking off towards a smaller female. She really was too cute for her own good.

I realized I recognized this male as one of the families from Germany. Jasper had thought about him a lot. He was not the leader, but as he called it was a son. His thoughts were so easy to read, he really did think in a simplistic way. So it was no surprise that he was totally dismembered in three minutes. The intriguing thought that lingered in my mind was his apology to his brother for not getting the revenge for his brother's death. What did this attack have to do with his brother?

Emmett was charging around like a bull in a china shop, he just kept charging tearing off limbs as he went. I do not think I've seen so many vampires with missing pieces, even when we fought the Romanians. I actually think I heard him laugh a couple of times; he was really having fun by the way he grinned after bellowing. "You messed with the wrong Rez schmucks."

Sam and the pack were tag teaming three other carnivores like they were playing red rover. I think if they could speak, they would have been singing "red rover, red rover send the carnivore over.' It was quite comical watching the vampires bounce from one pack member to the next, losing pieces as they went. I knew it was Paul and Jacob that were snickering.

Alice, of course, took her time as usual tormenting her targets, since she was far enough away from any wolf, she could see the moves the individual was going to make and be one-step ahead of them. Over the years, Alice has learned to keep enough distance from the wolves and focus enough to see what an individual had in their future. She is a lot less frustrated nowadays. As for the rest of us, well let's just say it looked like at ticker tape parade with the way the pieces were flying around.

It was not until I listened in on the older male Tanya was taking on did I fully comprehend the reason behind this recent attack. He was seeking vengeance for his son. Wait until he learns about his other son, ooops! The most surprising piece of knowledge was who the ultimate mastermind was of the plot. I admit I did not see that one coming. As if on cue, a wave of their reinforcements showed up to join our party, only this time the head of the attack decided to join in and make it known who was really behind the bloodshed. It was unsettling having them surrounding us mostly because the reinforcements were not newborns; they were hybrids like my children.

"Well, I can't say I am that surprised to see you Joham, and I see you brought you son Nahuel, how nice of you to join our little party." I sneered.

"You have no way out of this, so I think it's time you let us take over. We will handle the care of our kind." Yeah…I growled at him, but hey I was not alone, I had good company.

"I don't think that's going to happen, we are not without options here." Carlisle was not willing to share his thoughts with me any further.

"Yeah, I don't really believe you here." I wanted to wipe that smug look right off his face, okay…so I wanted to take his face with it.

What happened next even surprised me! Before he had a chance to respond, every single vampire, wolf and shape shifter who had stood with us during the war with the Volturi and the Romanians', charged in and surrounded them. Carlisle's thoughts told me when Jasper set up the lockdown system, if triggered, it sent out a distress call to anyone who was our Face book friends. It simply said 'Cullen family reunion,' you have to love the internet!

"So…like I was saying, we have other options here." Carlisle's confidence was a beckon of hope to our side.

"Really? What do you plan on doing, would you kill my half-human children? I really don't think you can live with yourself if you do."

"That won't be necessary when they see what you really have planned."

"CARLIE get back in the bunker!"

"Sorry mom, I can't do that, they need to see the truth of what their father intends to do to them once we are gone and can't protect them." I would have normally freaked out, but with Jessie protecting her no one was touching her.

"JESSIE!"

"Relax mom, I've got this, the bunker's been re-sealed no one is getting in." I heard Bella growl something about tearing Jasper to pieces when this was over. She has little faith in our children's ability to take care of themselves.

Uugghhh! Why do parents always over react! It is not going to be like last time, we have no intention of running into battle, ooops guess we just did that, hunh, my bad! Okay so, we sort of did break the rules, but it was for a good reason. That should count for something right? Oh who am I kidding, my butts going to be grounded for like months, but it is going to be well worth it.

"So who's going to be the first to see what your daddy dearest here has planned for you?"

"I will." Okay then, at least one of the girls was willing to give it shot. Except for the red eyes she was really beautiful; she was built long and lean. She shared Nahuel's facial features except she did not have dumbo ears. Her hands were shaking when she stepped out of line and approached me. I don't know why she was shaking; she had easily six inches on me. I was a lot like my mother in stature and build, oh who am I kidding, I was practically cloned from the drool of her mouth. There was no mistaking where I came from with my loosely curled chestnut brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.

"What's your name?"

"Karina." She said as she lowered her eyes to me mine. I saw eagerness in them.

"Karina this won't hurt a bit, I promise." Her eyes glazed over as the picture show began, but she never flinched or pulled away.

The only thing that did change was her facial expressions as she watched her father literally throw her and her sisters to the wolves. You could clearly see that from his expression in the show that he could care less what happened to his daughters. It was the expression he wore when looking at his son that screamed devotion and protectiveness that he did not show towards his daughters that started to anger her.

"You were willing to sacrifice us so HE would be the king of our kind?"

"Whatever she showed you are lies, this is about all of us; our family will lead our kind."

"I can't lie; my slide shows don't work like that! You're the one who is sending your daughters off to be slaughtered so you can rule with your son!"

"Father you lied to me, you said that this was for all our kind. You said the Cullen's were threatening to come after us!"

"Nahuel, I did everything for you. My son you must understand, I was the one who found the prophecy. I was the one who started breeding an army, it was always MY dream!"

"At what cost? The lives of my sisters was that the cost?" Boy, shoe is now on the other foot, hunh!

"IF NEED BE!" Yeah…he shouldn't have said that in front of grandpa.

"He's all yours boys, the children can leave safely; please escort them off our land." I had never seen Sam so smug, but I guess he has a good reason to be. It's not every day they beat down an army of newborns, handle an all out assault on our land and mange to keep our kind from looking like mass murders. Okay so they do that pretty consistently, but still it was impressive.

Before we could see what happened next, our parents pounced on us and dragged us home. I can only guess what was going to happen after that, but I don't think I will bother asking, I was in enough trouble. As we walked by the security bunker the rest of our family piled out. After everything that happened in those last two days, one thing never changed, we had our family to count on. When the celebration bonfires started, I had hoped to stay and celebrate with Justin, but it was not to be, I had enough problems waiting for me when I got home.

I was right, it turns out I was grounded for the next year. It was the longest year of my life. With the exception of Justin, it was Jessie and I against the parental units. Believe it or not, the war raged on until we turned eighteen.

On our eighteenth birthday everything changed, but that is a story for another day
