Freedom of Choice 18
Jasper watched intently as Amelia dressed in heavy winter clothing. The time was approaching where she would head up the mountain and wait until the battle was over. His feelings were mixed, glad that she was going to be away from all the fighting, but terrified that she wasn't going to be within his eyesight. He needed focus. Watching her tighten her boots, she stood and walked over to him.
"What's going on Major? You seem distracted?" she said playfully.
Pulling her back into his arms, "Having you away from me all night and tomorrow, I don't like it." Holding her tightly, he felt tempted to throw her over his shoulder and lock her in the cellar.
Amelia understood what he was feeling and saying, she was feeling the same. She wanted to be down in the field tomorrow, but with Bella not being able to fully manipulate the shield, she needed someone to stay close to her. She didn't blame her friend, she knew that if Bella was aware of how to start training her shield, she would have been working on it as soon as she knew she had it. "I understand Major, I do. But soon enough this shit is over, and you and I will figure our way out of this town to start our lives." Leaning back she looked up into his dark eyes, there were filled with lust and desire. Placing a small kiss on his chest where his heart would be beating, "I love you Jasper Whitlock."
Purring at her touch, "I love you to Amelia Whitlock." Pulling out a black box. He watched as her eyes bulged out. Smirking at her face. Carefully opening the box, there was a solicitare princess cut diamond, with a simple white gold band. "I've waited my entire life for you. Marry me Amelia."
She stood frozen staring at the ring, it was simple, it was perfect. It wasn't a huge diamond, and that was perfect for her, she loved simple things. She heard him, but it was something that she didn't expect. Turning her eyes towards his, "Yes. I will marry you."
Taking her hand, he placed the ring on her finger, it slid on with a perfect fit. He quickly grabbed the back of her neck, and pulled her into a deep kiss. For them the world slipped away. But the cloud of responsibility brought them back to the real world.
Amelia looked at her hand. "It's beautiful. But alas my love, I think it's time to head out. When this shit is over with I expect hours of sex, like earth shattering put me in a coma sex." she gave him the biggest puppy dog eyes she could, "Please?"
Growling in her ear, "Coma sex? That my dove, I will be happy to provide. Now get your ass to the garage, and get up that fucking mountain."
Laughing at him, she turned and walked towards the garage to see that Bella, Seth, and Leah were waiting there. Looking at the wolves she could see that they heard her and Jasper speaking. Bella looked confused. As she approached the group, Bella jumped up and grabbed her. "What's up Bella?"
"What happened, Seth kept snickering, and Leah told him to mind his business. I hate not being in the loop." she said.
Looking over at the wolves, she could tell that Leah was uncomfortable being in Cullen's home, Seth, he looked like he was having a good time. "Jasper asked me to marry him, I said yes, then I told him tomorrow after all this bullshit, to fuck me into a coma. There, you're all caught up." Laughing as she spoke.
The blush that stained Bella's face was priceless, everyone in the garage laughed.
Patting her friend on the shoulder, Amelia walked towards Emmett's Jeep, it was the only vehicle here that could get them mostly up the mountain, she turned to the wolves, "You coming in the jeep or you gonna meet us at the trailhead?"
Speaking for the two of them, "We will ride with you, the more we can mask her scent the better." Leah looked at her brother, "I will drive, you sit in the front with me, Seth in the back with Bella." With that Leah jumped into the driver's seat.
Amelia looked behind her to see Jasper standing with Garrett, she knew this was going to be hard on Garrett as well. "I love you Jasper. Garrett, I will protect her with my life." Turning back to Bella, "Say goodbye, we need to go."
Bella looked over at Garrett, "I will do everything Amelia tells me, I will see you tomorrow. You are everything to me." She quickly turned and got into the back of the jeep, followed by Seth, once they were secured in the backseat, Amelia jumped in.
As the door slammed Leah put the jeep into gear and headed off.
After about an hour or so of driving, the jeep stopped at the edge of the forest. Everyone piled out. Amelia went to the back and grabbed their backpacks, handing one to Bella. She saw that Leah and Seth went behind some trees, when they came back out there were two giant wolves. One light grey and the other a darker grey.
The wolves approached the girls and got down on their bellies, Amelia quickly jumped on the wolf closer to her, and gently grabbed the fur to hold on, she looked at Bella as she did the same. As soon as she saw they were both on, "Alright, let's get going." With that the wolves took off.
For Bella it was a terrifying experience, but knowing that it was the fastest and safest way to get up the mountain while limiting her scent, she kept her mouth shut. Soon enough she could feel her wolf slowing down, risking a chance to open her eyes, she could see they were approaching an open area with a fire going. Feeling the wolf lower itself, Bella very carefully got off, and waited for Amelia to join her.
Reaching out to touch Bella's shoulder, "We're here, let's get our gear inside." Walking towards the tent, she could see that Char was standing sitting next to the fire. She stood as the girls approached. "Figured I'd get the fire going for you guys, I'm about to head back and run the perimeter with Peter." Walking over to Bella and Amelia; she pulled each girl into a nice hug. "I'll see you both tomorrow. Stay safe." Char looked at the wolves before she left, "Thank you for all your help. We are grateful." With that she zipped away.
Amelia watched as her sister left, she wanted to join them, but strategically, this was the best plan. Knowing that vampires tend to get into fights throughout their existence she knew at some point in her undead life she would be able to stand with her family on the battlefield.
Making her way towards the tent, she ushered Bella inside, looking around, they had water, some protein bars, and 3 heavy duty sleeping bags. "Put your stuff right here, let's get some rest, tomorrow is going to be stressful for everyone." Looking out of the tent, "You guys going to rest in here? There is plenty of room." She watched as the wolves nodded their heads, they melted into the trees and quickly came back dressed. Seth put on a pair of socks, Leah just had her t-shirt and jeans.
Stepping back to let them in, they both took the 2 sleeping bags and placed them on either side of the girls, Bella looked over at Leah who was the closest.
Noticing her questioning eyes, "Keeps you warm, and our scent will surround both of you."
"Thank you." she said.
"You're welcome." Was the only response that Leah gave. Once she settled next to Bella, she grabbed her phone and set the alarm for 4am. She wanted to make sure that she was at the field before the sun rose.
Seth settled himself next to Amelia. "You know, once this is over, do you think you could show me some of your gifts?" he asked Amelia.
Amelia smiled at the younger wolf, "Sure thing, I'll even let you throw some boulders at me."
"Seriously? That's awesome."
Amelia couldn't help but smile, he was a good kid, she was happy that he was going to be up here with them instead of fighting. While she knew that he was built to fight, emotionally she didn't want someone so young having to deal with killing or worse being killed.
"No problem, you're a good dude." With that she got deeper into the sleeping bag that she was sharing with Bella. Between the heat that the wolves were producing and the shared body heat that the girls were giving off, at least they weren't going to have to shiver all night. Soon enough, the tent was quiet, with the only noise coming from the wind blowing gently outside.
Even with the world on their minds, the 4 of them were able to get a decent night's rest. It was needed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
Her eyes burned with fury and anger, she was determined to get revenge on that golden eyed family. They will all pay for taking her love away from her. As her army walked towards the home of the golden eye coven, she knew having the blonde hair boy from forks make the decisions would keep the Seer from knowing, it would be too late, and her army would destroy them. Instructing her minions that the human was hers, she would keep the mind reader alive just long enough to watch her break the human, and drain her in front of him. He will know that it was his fault his coven was dead, he protected a human. That was inexcusable. Looking over at the boy, Riley, that's his name, she told him to lead their army to victory. Leading them around the town, she didn't want them to destroy the town that would bring the Volturi, she didn't need that, not when she was so close to getting her revenge. They marched on, soon enough they would come up behind the property from the field that she first saw the unnatural one's.
As the sun slowly began to turn dark into the light, the Cullens, and Whitlocks were in the field. Jasper kept his eyes trained on the horizon, he could feel them, they were getting closer. He looked over at his Captain and Lieutenant, he nodded them. Taking this cue from the Major, they both spread out across the field. Garrett followed suit. Esme, watching the vampires in front of her, spoke without using words. It was impressive. She moved herself towards the rocky outcove, making an educated guess that Jasper was going to have everyone surround the newborns. She could see that Rose and Emmett were also in position, Emmett was dead center since physically he was the most visually intimidating. Looking around once more, she could hear the wolves behind them. They were going to be the biggest surprise, most vampires haven't seen them, so a newborn wouldn't know what to do.
Letting his more vicious side come forward, he could feel his beast growling, happy that it was finally going to be able to kill. He took his time to let his military training come to the front of his mind, he needed to be a vicious killer. Wanting to frighten the newborns more, he took off his shirt, his battle scars were on display, he could feel that it was working because even his former family there was a tinge of fear. GOOD! I am not to be fucked with. That REDHEADED BITCH SHOULD HAVE NOT COME BACK!
The sound of running feet put everyone in the field at attention, it was starting.
As the first wave of newborns entered the field, they were rushing towards the vampires in front of them, they felt fear, despair, and failure. It made most of them slow down, and look around. Jasper smiled, that was what he was waiting for, the first pause. He took off running, everyone followed.
Taking off the head of the first newborn that he came in contact with, it was a swift and practiced move. Quickly turning his body, he grabbed another that was launching at him with teeth and nails, grabbing her in midair he removed her head and dropped her down. Taking a nanosecond, he looked for his Coven; they were doing fine, Garrett was taking 2 at a time, the cullens were fighting in a circle, it was time for the wolves. "SAM, KILL THEM ALL!"
The growling from the forest made the newborns pause for a second time, not a single one of them has ever heard such a noise. Within seconds the wolves jumped into the field, their sheer size caused the newborns to panic.
As they turned to run, all the wolves took off after them, each one grabbed a vampire and tore it to shreds, the battle was close to over.
Victoria watched as her army was obliterated, this was not how it was supposed to go, they were losing. HOW? She didn't make any decisions, how could everything come apart so quickly? Her eyes scanned the field, Bella wasn't there, neither was the mind reader. They are hiding. She might not be able to take out the family, but would hunt them down. She hunkered into the trees high above, her smell was upwind, without the mind reader or the Seer, she was sure she could remain hidden. She watched as the last of the newborns were destroyed. Her anger radiating over her body. Even Riley was killed. Alone again.
Jasper could feel her anger, he just couldn't see her. Looking towards his Captain, he signaled him to fan out.
Peter understood, the red head wasn't here, but was close, she was looking for Bella, needed to find her. "Char and I will run the perimeter Major, to see if there are any newborns hiding." With that they quickly left, closing his eyes, he followed his knower, making a beeline for her tree, Char moved up the tree as Peter slammed it down.
Falling towards the ground, Victoria jumped down and was soon surrounded by both vampires and wolves. Jasper was in the center with her.
Realizing that she had no escape plan, Victoria circled him. She was almost 800 years old, she was more experienced as a fighter, she wasn't going to lose to some abomination. "I might not get to kill that PET, but I'll kill you." she said. Her voice was low, and feral.
He eyed the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh at her declaration. He looked at her with his coal black eyes, almost taunting her, he spread his arms wide and laughed at her darkly. "YOU CAN TRY." Pausing he stood perfectly still, sending her fear, and uncertainty. "Edward didn't kill James, I did. Tore him apart like paper. Honestly it was pathetic." His words had the desired effect, her shriek was almost deafening.
No longer able to keep her body still she rushed him. HOW DARE HE SPEAK OF JAMES THAT WAY! She clawed and scratched at him, trying to get a hold on him, but he was too quick, "BE A MAN AND FIGHT ME!" She yelled.
Laughing at the vampiress in front of him. "AS YOU WISH." Calculating her next move, he watched her as if she was in slow motion, as her body lunged at him, as he sided stepped her attack, he quickly reached out and grabbed her by her hair and swung her around, carefully with a trained practice, he slipped his hand underneath her chin he carefully avoided her teeth, with a swift twist of his arms her head was removed from her body.
The resounding thud of her body dropping and his roar of victory called the end to this battle.
Holding her head like a sick trophy. "BURN THE BODIES." Turning his head towards the wolves, "Let Seth know that Esme and Rose are heading up." With that, he started picking up the pieces of all the fallen vampires. Soon enough everyone was throwing them into the fire that Char started. The field was filled with rancid purple smoke.
After the last of the vampires was nothing but ash, Jasper could feel her before he saw her. Joy. Happiness. Love. Turning towards the direction of the emotions, he waited until she came into view. Sitting with Bella atop a wolf, he quickly walked over to his love. As she jumped down into his arms she kissed him. "I'm proud of you, Major. You protected our family."
"I love you my Dove. I will always protect you." He kissed her deeply, his need for her was peaked, "Let me finish up, then we will go home, and I believe I was requested to fuck you into a coma."
"I better be!" With another quick kiss, she turned towards the wolves, well they were now in their human form. "Thank you all for your help, I know working with vampires can go against your nature, so thank you. All of you." She walked up to Seth, giving him a big hug, "Thank you for staying with us, I know you wanted to come down here and fight with your pack."
Laughing into her hair, "Well, I guess next time there is war, you and Bella will be less breakable so I won't have to miss much!" Taking a step back, he looked at Jasper, "She's pretty cool."
Walking up to shake his hand, "I couldn't agree more. Thank you Seth, you protected our mates. I'm proud to call you friend."
Bella could only nod, her face was planted into Garrett's chest. She refused to move from this spot.
Peter smiled at the scene in front of him, his knower telling him that everything was fine. And that they completed the reason that he and Char came for. Looking over at everyone, "Well, it's time for Char and I to shove off, we are going to our home in Maine," looking at everyone, he smiled, "Bella, Amelia, we will see you in a couple weeks, don't worry ladies, we will have everything set up for you." He walked over to the Alpha wolf, "You are a great leader Sam. Make your people proud." With that and quick goodbye from Char, they zipped out of the field.
Amelia watched as her brother and sister left, her heart broke a bit, but knew that soon enough she would be back with them. Looking at everyone else, "I think that we should all go home, it's time to relax, and take some time to spend with our loved ones," She looked at Sam, "Give us a week or so, and we will figure out how to leave without causing too much trouble."
With that Jasper grabbed Amelia and Garrett had a hold of Bella, they both took off towards the home that Peter and Char bought. It was time that they reacquainted with their mates.
