Now the story Continues
Chapter 51. – Alice's vision changes
The dappled sunlight shining in through the bedroom window woke Bella from a deep slumber and stretching she automatically reached for Jacob but the bed beside her was empty. Her eyes popped open in surprise. "Dang" She sighed loudly slipping out of the bed Where the hell was he? Wondering what time it was given the sun was so high in the sky she snagged her cell form the night stand. Bella sighed loudly again it was nearly eleven. Stretching a little she grabbed a large t shirt and pulled it over her head before padding gingerly to the bathroom. To be honest she was a little sore from Jacobs ardent love making that had carried on until the sun was up and Billy could be heard in the kitchen. No wonder she had overslept…
She yawned as she pushed open the bathroom door and turned on the shower, silently praying there was enough hot water left in the tank given the time of day. Billy had been trying to save a little on the hot water bills and he didn't heat the water up until the end of the day.
"Damn it Jake" she mumbled feeling a little pissed at his absence from their bed he had promised to stay with her until she woke up and she had wanted to snuggle too. "Whatever got you up couldn't it wait for once?" She glanced into the mirror before her reflection disappeared with the steam. Her long hair looked sex matted and her lips swollen from Jakes ardent mouth. Turning her head slightly to the side his mark shone like a beacon where he had bitten and sucked the sensitive skin. She rolled her eyes as her fingers tentively searched for other hickeys which she found on her left breast and just below her right earlobe.
"Jeez Jake what's got into you?" Bella muttered at the bleary-eyed young woman who stared back. Sniffing to herself she turned and climbed into the bath relaxing as the hot water cascaded down upon stiff shoulders. Closing her eyes she began to lather her hair and roll last night's lovemaking through her mind once more. Jake had been insatiable but come to think of it so had she. Even now just thinking about him made her shiver with longing.
Lost in the steam and heat she didn't hear the bathroom door open nor any movement until he was up behind her pressing his heated skin against her back…that wasn't the only thing he pressed against her either. Bella rolled her eyes in response jeez he was horny these days…probably due to the fact he was always out, and they found very little time for intimacy.
"Bella honey" He whispered as his fingers massaged her soapy scalp and a treacherous moan escaped her lips even though she fought to keep then locked tight, the sensation was just pure bliss and too good to ignore. She was still pissed with him though and didn't turn around to face him. "I heard you get up, but I thought you would come in the kitchen first" He added as he turned her around to face him dipping his head to lightly catch her lips as his fingers worked their magic.
"I thought you had left without saying goodbye like you always do" She sighed in reply "You said you would stay until I woke up, we never seem to wake up together these days" a little pout appeared on her plump lips
"Yes well…" Jacob frowned a little and felt guilty at the same time. Bella was right sometimes he didn't even make it to bed let alone wake up in it but his duty to his pack and tribe whilst vampires invaded their land overrode everything else. The Alpha in him stirred in defiance but he tied it down. "Things changed you know the dangers at the moment facing the Rez I want to be with you all the time but…"
"I know." she sighed "Duty calls" He hesitated as if he wanted to say something else to make it up to her. He wanted to that part was true. He wanted to make rash promises to his little mate, but war doesn't allow such luxuries instead he said, "Charlie's on his way Bells" That nugget of information brought her to her senses
"Damn its Jake why didn't you say when you first got in?." she was already impatiently trying to reach for a towel "What's he doing… what does he want?" Jacob laughed low as he pulled her close
"You really do need to rinse your hair first Bells" he pulled her back and stood with her under the spray of water easing the soap from her long hair and scalp. "Jessica Stanley" He added with a grimace
"Oh…" Bella Squeaked "I see…"
"Yeah" Jacob huffed "Dad thought it was about time the Chief knew what really happened to her." Bella looked worried and with a finger he gently eased out the little line that had appeared between her eyebrows
"What's he gonna say to the Stanley's?" She began "I mean he can't ever tell the truth there's never going to be a body and Charlie always tells the truth and…" her cheeks flushed a little both from the hot water and wondering what on earth they could tell Charlie let alone the Stanley's
"Shhh" Jacob interrupted her and pulled her closer to his body "You're getting yourself all worked up over nothing"
"Nothing!" Bella cried "The girl who was your imprint who really really hates me gets herself turned into a freeking vampire and…" But the rest of her words became garbled as Jacob placed his own mouth over hers swallowing her words. She pushed against his massive chest to no avail and he held her head in place with one huge hand. His tongue pushed against her lips and with a sigh she opened her mouth. As he deepened the kiss Jacob pulled her up his body and she willingly wrapped her legs around his waist.
Bella groaned loudly she could feel the tip of his hot hard length nudge against her own hot centre and that was enough to set her world on fire. Jake roughly grabbed under each cheek of her peachy ass and lifted her a little before drooping her back down upon his large erection sliding into her heat up to the hilt.
"Jacob" She managed to gasp "Charlie…" But it was too late already he was lifting and slamming her back down, his hips thrusting upwards deep into her molten centre and as she wrapped her arms around his strong neck a long low groan percolated up from deep in her chest
"Mmmm Bella…" Jacob hummed her name as he pumped more cries of ecstasy from her lips. She pulled his face towards her own and their hungry lips met, each kiss sweet and sticky like black molasses breaking apart only for Bella to throw her head back and cry out his name as she came hard, shattering into tiny pieces only to reassemble with every neuron tingling.
As if triggered by her climax his hips stuttered a little before she felt the familiar explosion of heat deep within announcing his own release, creating a second flow of little waves of toe tingling spasms of pleasure that spread through her body as the heat receded and Jake heavily panting stilled.
He rested his head upon Bella's shoulder as they both took long deep breaths, hearts racing. As her pulse slowed, she gently cupped one side of his jaw and placed a small kiss upon his brown skin
"Love you so much and I'm sorry I got all kinda angsty" she whispered" I just miss you so much when you're not with me" Then almost in a panic she added "I really hope Charlie didn't hear that, he's not here is he?" She chewed on that poor bottom lip as her face began to glow with the blush that rushed up her neck and onto her cheeks to join the post sex blush that already resided there.
Her eyes looked kinda wild as she blurted "Oh god Jake did Billy hear...?" She didn't finish the sentence she was so embarrassed. Jacob looked down at her his eyes alight and smiling.
"Nope" He replied emphasing the "p" "He left earlier to go to an Elders meeting. He'll be back in time for Charlie" He gently lifted her up and slid out from her warmth. Bella moaned a little at the movement if she wasn't too sore before she certainly was now. Jake looked at her with concerned eyes
"You a little sore honey?" He asked knowing full well the pounding he given her earlier that morning when he had taken her roughly from behind. Bella nodded a little in return as she stepped out of the bath and wrapped herself in a large fluffy towel. "You know what always helps with the healing" he chuckled a little as he wriggled his eyebrows and tongue suggestively. Bella just looked at him aghast as he climbed out of the bath to join her wrapping a small towel around the waist of his Adonis like body. She went to say something, but he added
"Wolf saliva Bella heals everything, and I estimate we have another fifteen minutes or so before Charlie gets here so…" he looked at her with a leer and Bella just shook her head in disbelief
"What's got into you Jacob?" she asked frowning a little "Is it the wolf mating season and no one has told me about it? Jeez your horny as hell Jake" He grabbed her and lifting her up he carried her towards their bedroom whilst she squeaked a protest
"Hmmm now there's a thought…" He teased "Just make sure your birth control is up to date" he sniggered "Wolves are far more potent during the mating season." Bella looked startled for a moment as she mentally tallied the months and her periods "Hey" He softly laughed "I just teasing you're covered I can smell the chemicals in your body" he tapped the side of his nose and she visibly relaxed "Later…" He whispered in her ear "If you're still sore I'll fix it…" Bella said nothing, but the smell of arousal filled the air and he smiled smugly "That's my girl now let's get dressed before Charlie return's" she merely huffed in reply opening the wardrobe door.
Whilst they pulled on some clothes Bella hesitated then decided now was the time to ask him whilst he was so relaxed and happy.
"Um…" She hesitantly began "I've got something to ask you" Jacob picked up on her hesitancy of course both he and the wolf intrigued
"I'm all ears honey" he turned and pulled his t shirt down over his fabulous abs which distracted her for a few moments whilst she pondered his beauty
"I managed to spirit walk on my own yesterday" she waited but he said nothing as he eased his cut-offs up and over his huge thighs but his eyes full of concern never left her face so she continued "Old Quil helped me and I only saw a peek but I was in control Jake…to come and go when I want to not be dragged there." Jakes shoulders seemed to visibly a little relax in response
"That's really good news Bella I'm proud of you honey" Jacob crossed the room and brought her close to his body "Does Old Quil intend to give you more help?" Bella nodded in reply
"Yes, he said I will get stronger and be able to come and go as I please without his assistance" She looked rather pleased with herself "But I also asked him about you" Jacob looked down at her small face his eyes pacing between her own. "You're a spirit warrior now Jake maybe its time for you to learn how to spirt walk too" Bella stood on tiptoes to place a kiss upon those delectable dark lips of his. Jake looked speechless for a few moments then at the insistence of his wolf he replied
"You're on Bells when do we start?"

The cell on Carlisle's desk rang sharply and the vampire hesitated a little before picking it up
"Dr Carlisle Cullen" His voice calm and collected even if he didn't feel that way.
"Carlisle my old friend it's been too long" The voice on the other end had an accent that was European in origin
"Yes, it has Aro… far too long" Carlisle replied, "But to what do I owe this honour?" His golden eyes hardened as he paused awaiting the inevitable
"It has come to our notice" Aro began his voice sounded weary as if what he was about to say were truly tiresome… "That there is a large new-born army arising in Seattle and my brothers and I are wondering why you never told us Carlisle." There was a pause and the air seemed to crackle around Carlisle charged with danger. "It would seem they have been causing havoc in the city for some time."
"We only recently noticed the rise in deaths reported by the local news channels Aro" Carlisle began keeping his voice even "Be assured had we known earlier about the new-borns we would have informed the Volturi. As it is, we only confirmed their existence late last night and I would have called you later today"
There was silence from the end of the phone and if Carlisle had been able to sweat his brow would have been dripping. Thank god Aro was not in the room the physical contact between them would have been his undoing. He steeled himself before he spoke again, he could not allow for the slightest inflection to be heard in his voice …nothing that would give the game away…
"I see…." Aro breathed long and slow into the receiver and turning he caught the eyes of Caius who shook his head. He decided to ignore his brother's council "We will give you the benefit of the doubt this time Carlisle. I believe we have been friends far too long to fall out over such a small… misunderstanding." Aro's voice sounded pleasant but to the vampire's ears there was still an undercurrent of threat "Your loyalty remains with us I'm sure dear friend"
"It does indeed Aro" Carlisle smoothly replied
"Then you would be willing to help eradicate the problem?" Aro asked his voice almost childlike reminding Carlisle of the abomination called Jane
"Yes of course "Carlisle replied but he was not happy "Anything we can do to help we'd be honoured."
"Now that is music to my ears!" Aro chuckled into the receiver "To be able to rely upon ones dearest and oldest friends to help in a crisis! What do you say my brothers?" There were murmurings in the background, but Carlisle heard their somewhat bored agreement. "In that case I shall send some old friends to your house to discuss how you can assist"
Carlisle waited for yet another blow as Aro continued in his thin reedy voice.
"Jane will be so pleased to see you and your …." he hesitated just long enough for Carlisle to get the inference. "Family" the ancient vampire added the word almost catching in his throat and choking him. Carlisle almost wished it would choke the ancient vampire to a timely death.
"Where is Jane at the moment, is she flying in to the US?" Carlisle asked sounding totally innocent although he knew damn well where the bitch was
"She is already in Seattle with Demetri and Felix" Aro wearily replied he was getting bored with the conversation and Heidi would be back from a fishing trip very soon. He licked his thin white lips in anticipation of the blood bath that would follow.
"Then we can go to her" Carlisle began "The house we have in Forks is not big enough to house everyone I'm sure Jane will be far more comfortable in Seattle then sharing a room with one of my daughters" He heard a little snort of derision coming from Aro at his reference to daughters.
"Then it's settled dear Carlisle" Aro chuckled with a laugh that set the hairs on your arms upright "I will tell Jane to expect you to be with her in Seattle in the next couple of days, she will call you to confirm the ah arrangements." The call abruptly ended before Carlisle could utter a farewell. He placed the cell back down upon his desk and put his head in his hands. He knew when he was being played and Aro, was the master at playing games he'd had a millennium of time to perfect it.
He stood abruptly and called Jaspers name then hesitated before calling Alice too. Both Vampires walked into his study within moments and both looked concerned
"You called Carlisle" Jasper began as Alice held his hand tightly in her own. The small pixie like girl knew what her father was about to ask having seen it only a few moments before and Carlisle knew that look on Alice's face she's had a vision…
"What have you seen Alice? He warily asked as Jasper pulled her close to his side. Alice looked very unhappy.
"We were on our way to see you Carlisle…" Jasper began "But you called us first" he glanced down at Alice before leading her to a seat in front of Carlisle large desk "Sit" he almost commanded the look of love evident in his golden eyes. Alice dutifully obeyed her eyes fixed upon those of her mate.
"Tell Carlisle what you have seen Alice." He glanced towards Carlisle "Things have changed, but we have a little more time to prepare then we originally thought" Alice nodded her agreement
"My old vision showed the new-borns coming when the snow settled only, I couldn't see who would lead them just a glimpse of Victoria so I assumed it would be her seeing as she had created them" Her father nodded in encouragement. "But I saw only Victoria and another I didn't recognise, and they kept changing their minds." She hesitated then added
"I just pieced together what I had seen and settled on the new-borns arriving in the next couple of days and shared that with you all only the vision has completely changed" She frowned a little unsettled by the future she had just seen even though she knew it was subjective and could change again but she just wasn't sure how. "The Volturi…" she hesitated "The Volturi know about Bella and Edward"
"How?" Carlisle crashed a fist on the desk "The relationship has been over for months and was never conducted outside Forks!"
"James" Jasper replied, "We went to Phoenix to destroy him remember?"
"Yes, but we cleared up all the evidence" Carlisle frowned trying to think who had outed the family to the Volturi he couldn't think of anyone other than his own family and they would never betray each other.
"Did you ever wonder why James and his coven stopped by that day, why they insisted on playing baseball?" Jasper asked. Carlisle shook his head a little
"They were a nuisance but just passing through" he replied
"Were they? Was that their true intention or just what they wanted us to believe?" Jasper asked "What if they were sent to spy on us and just happened to stumble upon Bella Swan a human playing baseball with Vampires" Carlisle's eyes narrowed come to think of it did seem strange for such a coven to appear from nowhere. Usually nomads kept themselves to themselves avoiding covens like the Cullen's especially given their numbers.
"James was Psychotic even for a vampire." he mused "Maybe he just liked playing twisted games with anyone he stumbled across and Bella just provided an extra challenge." Jasper nodded his agreement, but his military mind had never been satisfied with it all being co incidence…
"We may never know the actual truth Carlisle but I'm suggesting to you that there may have been a link between James and the Volturi"
"Aro has never agreed with our way of life." Carlisle mused "I've always felt he would take a chance to destroy it if an opportunity arose. Prove we were traitors to our world with our interaction with humans" Jasper nodded his handsome face grave
"Maybe that opportunity has come about Carlisle, think about it why send Jane and not just a few of the guard to destroy the new-born's and Victoria with them?" Carlisle sat down in his leather chair with a thump. Jasper had made a valid point what if Aro had been looking to bring them down all along? After all James and his coven had been in the area for week's before they pitched up for the game. God only knows what they had seen and heard. Jasper turned to Alice
"When?" he asked "When will the new-borns attack?"
"Before the end of the week" Alice replied "A storm is predicted, and the rain will hinder the pack. They will not attack until then" Jasper frowned
"No doubt our friend Victoria has been filling Jane in with all the juicy gossip wolves an' all" He clenched his teeth together he hated Jane, and this was a battle that needed the utmost planning if they were to survive.
The shrill ring of Carlisle's cell pierced the silence breaking the tense atmosphere. He picked it up and answered
"Jane how lovely to hear from you Aro sad you would call" He grimaced as he looked at Alice and Jasper "Yes…yes of course we can come to Seattle when do you expect us? He nodded as Jane gave her instructions "All of us?" he enquired "Okay we will meet you there" Carlisle ended the call and pushed his blond hair back with one hand. Just as Alice stood up taking Jaspers hand in her own for extra support.
"There's something else you should know. Whilst we are in Seattle the new-borns will attack La Push" Carlisle looked shocked but resigned
"Figures" he mumbled then he noticed the sadness in her eyes "What else Alice?" She hesitated then spoke
"The pack will meet their end." She sighed loudly "But we may also meet ours…"

Jane slipped the cell into a pocket hidden in the lining of her long black cloak and smiled to herself. She so loved it when a plan came together. Down below she could see the new-borns milling around still fighting each other despite the attempts of Riley to keep them calm. Only a few more days and she could leave this hell hole for the more refined surrounding of Italy. Without turning she said
"You had better keep to your promises, Aro never gives second chances" She hissed as a male voice answered her
"Oh, I always do dear Jane I always do. Just make sure to keep your side of the bargain and that mangy pack of wolves meet their demise."
Jane smiled all sweetness and light "Felix" She cried "We have work to do"

AN: Jake the horny wolf lol but maybe Bella has a point though as wolves in the wild have a mating season so why not the La Push pack?
What about James and his coven, didn't you ever think it was all rather convenient that they turned up weeks before only to decide to pay a call when they heard a baseball game in progress?...Yeah Right…Maybe they were on a fact finding mission after all and the lovely Bella was just too much for James to resist given possessive Edwards reaction…Still the question remains who dubbed them in Victoria? Hmmm seems obvious…someone else? Ha wait and see….
Till next time OXOXO
