Freedom of Choice 21
Bella was waiting patiently with Garrett, counting down until the plane landed. She couldn't help but bounce back and forth.
Garrett couldn't help but laugh at her, "Relax Bella, they should be landing shortly" he told her.
"Is it that obvious that I'm excited and nervous?" She asked him.
Pulling her close to his body, "Nervous? Why would you be nervous my dear?"
Taking a deep breath, "Because once she gets here we have about a day or so before we start our change. I can't wait to start that part of my life, I really can't, but it is nerve wracking. I remember the burn when James bit me, it wasn't pleasant, and that was only for a few moments."
Garrett kissed the top of her head, "I know my Swan. I will pump as much venom in you as I can. It will still be 3 days." As he went to kiss her again, he was able to pick up the faint sound of a jet coming in. Turning his eyes towards the sky, he could make out the image of the jet coming in. Turning Bella towards the plane, pointing his finger, "It's a couple miles out, you should be able to make it out in a couple minutes."
Following his finger her eyes turned towards the sky. Just as he said, in a little more than a minute later she could make out the plane. Finally, the last few days with Garrett have been fantastic, but she was ready to have her friend back. When she wasn't alone with her mate, she was with Peter and he was helping her focus her shield. She was able to cover her body almost at the thought, now he has her practice holding it until she feels it ready to snap back. Currently she was able to hold it close to an hour. Peter's favorite game was throwing small objects at her as she was reading or meditating, occasionally her mate would join in, Garrett enjoyed tossing coins at her, he was now throwing it at vampire speed. He aimed it for her arms or legs, in case she didn't have a hold on her shield. Death by penny, was not the way he wanted to end his love's life.
Coming back from her train of thought, she held onto Garrett as the plane landed on the runway. Within a few minutes the doors were opening and the stairs were put in place for everyone to descend. Soon enough, she could see her family coming down the stairs, no longer able to contain her excitement. She ran towards the bottom of the stairs as Amelia hit the bottom and she wrapped her arms around her friend. "How did you survive Peter? He's such a task master. I missed you." Bella breathed out.
Amelia couldn't help but laugh. "I survived Peter by turning Char against him. Yes he is a taskmaster, but his crazy methods will pay off in the long run. And I've missed you too." With that Amelia looked behind her to see Jasper's amused smirk. "Let's get home, relax and have a big meal."
Bella interlocked her arms with Amelia's and led her towards the SUV.
Garrett looked at his friend, "So, I think Bella may have missed her friend. I think that we lost our mates for the night!"
Trailing behind the girls, "I think you're correct, perhaps while they spend time, we go out for a meal. I want to be ready for her with no issues." he stated. That was his biggest concern, he wanted to be able to control himself when he was about to bite his mate.
"Yea, me too, I know I can't hurt her, she's my mate, but I want to be prepared." he commented.
Once they were all in the truck, they made the hour journey home, it was tucked just outside of Portland. Big enough city to support the vampires, far enough away from any humans that it shouldn't bother the newborns.
Bella and Amelia chatted most of the ride home, Bella explaining her training methods, what she has been able to accomplish, Amelia shared the situation about what happened with the Denali's, both of them enjoyed the banter back and forth. Soon enough they entered into the dense forest to come up on a beautiful 2 story log cabin.
Stepping into the home, Amelia was embraced by Char, followed by Peter. Peter grabbed Jasper into a man hug, and Char gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Welcome to our home Major, Amelia. You have the bedroom at the top of the stairs to the left, ours is across the hallway, Bella's and Garretts is on the first floor near the back porch." Char explained.
Amelia looked at her family, "Thank you for sharing your home with me again. It's just as lovely as the Montana home." This was more like it, the house was gorgeous with natural wood showing throughout, it reminded her of a simpler time, but it had so many modern touches, the perfect balance of simple, but elegant.
Looking down at herself, she was in desperate need of a shower, "Alright, I'm going to head up to the shower, I'll be down in a bit." Looking over at Jasper she could see that his eyes were turning a muddy red, "and you, go hunt." With that she ran up the stairs quickly stripping down, once she hit the shower, she took her time, letting the hot water soak her bones. It felt fantastic. Finishing up she turned off the water and stepped out. Wrapping the towel around herself; she took her time brushing her teeth, putting hair products in, it took a good 30 minutes,but finally she was done. Heading towards the closet she couldn't help but smile, Char stocked it with her favorite types of clothes, jeans, t-shirts, tank tops, sweaters, everything she would need, even in the corner of her closet were dozens of jeans and t-shirts, she noticed that there was a small note sitting on top of all the shirts.
*NOTE*
Hey my beautiful girl, this should be enough shirts and jeans for the first couple weeks of your change. I know that you are going to be amazing.
Love you Snowbird
*END NOTE*
Smiling, holding the note a small tear escaped her eyes. This was one of the millions of reasons that Amelia loved Char and Peter. Even when they first met, while for Peter it was a means to an end he never once made her feel like she was an object, he treated her as a person, and as time grew over the first month or so, they developed a strong bond, eventually they really became family. Quickly getting dressed, she headed downstairs. The smell of bacon hit her nose, looking around she saw that Bella was making some food. "What's for food?" she asked her friend.
Looking behind her, "Figured some bacon and eggs, something simple." she responded.
"Sounds good to me." Taking a seat at the counter, "The vampires go out for dinner?" she asked.
Bella couldn't help but snort, "Yeah, I think they all did, I know that Peter and Char haven't hunted since they got here a couple weeks ago, so I guess it's a family dinner." As the food finished up, Bella put it onto a plate and brought it towards the counter.
Both of the girls ate in silence, there really was no need to fill the silence with endless chatter. As they finished up both of the girls quickly cleaned the kitchen.
Amelia finished up and headed towards the living room, lighting the fire. She sat down on the couch and waited for Bella to come in.
Bella walked into the living room, her body was a bunch of nerves. Amelia eyed her friend, she could tell there was a lot going on. "You know, that silent thing you do because you are nervous about talking, you don't have to be so nervous. Tell me what's on your mind Bella."
Plopping down on the chair opposite of her friend, "It's the change, I just kind of want to get it over with, I don't want to do it alone, so I guess I was wondering, when would you like to do it?"
Taking the time to really think about it, "I'm down for doing it tonight, I've asked Jasper to do it when I'm distracted with an orgasm." she said, chuckling. "Figured I'd be too happy to notice he bit me."
Seeing Bella blush, amused Amelia, that was something that Amelia was going to miss when they were vampires. She was pretty sure Garrett felt the same. She watched Bella chew on her lip for a second before she spoke.
"I umm…" she started, "I told Garrett the same. I'm hoping I'll be too distracted to notice."
Amelia couldn't help but nod. "I think it would be the most practical. So tonight? We just pull the band-aid? If you're ready, I'm ready."
Taking an unnecessary breath, "Yes. Tonight." Bella sat back deeper into the chair, almost like she was relieved.
"Why don't you go to your shower, and get any last minute grooming done. I shaved my legs, arms, and you know… just to be sure." she said.
Eyeing her friend, "That's actually not a bad idea." With that Bella headed back to her part of the house.
Hearing Bella shut the bedroom door, Amelia sat quietly, she was just as nervous as Bella. Taking the time she needed, Amelia centered herself and focusing her energy she felt it travel over her body, focusing her eyes she let it flow towards the fire, as she felt her bubble surround the fire she channeled the warmth, extending her hand she pulled the flame towards her, almost like it was dancing on her hand, the flame hovered an inch above her hand; manipulating it she was able to let it grow within the bubble. Standing up, Amelia kept the flame in her hands, walking towards the door, she was able to keep it steady. Once she was down the porch, she imagined it growing larger, soon enough she had a large fireball in her hands, she turned her body towards the creek that was running in front of the house, taking a deep breath she pushed the ball towards the water. As the fireball was released from her gift it spread out and if directed correctly would be able to engulf at least 15 feet diameter, as the fireball hit the water the steam coming off would make anyone sweat.
Looking at the damage in front of her, she couldn't help but smile. Well, that's going to be useful. Putting her hand on her neck, she rolled out the tension that she built up from her practice. "So, I guess I shouldn't make you mad at me?"
Jasper's voice made her jump out of her skin. Turning towards the sound. Giving him a pointed look, "Don't do that!" Walking over to her mate, "Feel better?" she wrapped her arms around his waist.
Chuckling at her, "Yes I do. Do you? That was pretty impressive, my dove." He was very impressed with how she manipulated her gift.
"I do. I guess I needed to release some anxiety; I figured focusing my gift on something new I'd have to actually concentrate harder than I expected. It worked." Lifting her eyes she looked for everyone else. "You alone Major?" she asked him.
Sweeping her up in his arms; he carried her bridal style, "Garrett is with Bella now, Peter and Char are staying in Portland, something about gambling. They said to call them once you and Bella are into your change." Carrying her up the stairs he carefully placed her on the bed. "Are you ready to start the change, tonight my love?" He couldn't hear Garrett or Bella, but he could feel his intentions of concern, longing.
Laying on the bed, she looked over at her mate. She was following him with her eyes, "Yes Major. Please." She begged at him.
Taking off his shirt, he kicked off his boots, and quickly removed his pants, soon enough he was standing in front of her completely naked. Taking a moment to feel her mood, he could feel her desire, and lust. "What do you want my dove?"
Amelia watched her mate strip for her, licking her lips, "I want you. Inside me. Changing me. Please."
Not having to wait any longer, Jasper crawled onto the bed; carefully stripping her jeans off, he couldn't help but smile, she wasn't wearing any panties, "Oh my love, you are so naughty." Kissing his way up her inner thigh he stopped as he reached her pussy. Adjusting her legs gave him better access to her clit. Pushing his tongue into her heated flesh, finding her clit and carefully bit into her bundle causing her to arch off the bed moaning into the room. "FUCK." she gasped.
Needing to send her into a frenzy, he pushed 2 fingers into her body he stretching her, turning his fingers in a 'come here' motion he pushed them into her g-spot, it had the desired effect he felt her body clamp down on his fingers drenching them in her juices. Her scream echoed in his ears. Pulling his fingers out of her body, he waited until her eyes were focused on him, as soon as they locked eyes, licking his fingers he watched her eyes dilated. "That's one."
Slowly licking his way up her body, getting to her shirt, he ripped it from her body. Her nipples puckered in the cool air, sucking on one and massaging the other, he lifted her leg and quickly entered her, not giving her the opportunity to adjust to his size. Her scream of pain mixed with pleasure echoed the room.
Her body was on fire, she could feel her body adjusting to him, his pace brutal, the need to reach that precipice was all consuming, she did her best to keep up with her mate, but he was moving at inhuman speed. "Jasper, please." she was begging, her body was coiled and ready to snap. Her lower belly was tingling, she was so close, looking into his eyes, "Jasper I'm ready." Feeling her body clamped down on his, she tilted her neck for him, another way to let him know that she was more than ready for the next part.
He pushed harder into her, moving his finger down to her clit, as soon as his thumb made contact, he felt her pussy contract, he could feel her pussy milk his cock, sending him to the edge, emptying his balls into her body, he saw her neck bared, without any further waiting, Jasper pooled as much venom as he could produce in his mouth, focusing on her neck he bit down, pumping all the venom he could into her neck.
He pulled several mouthfuls of her blood into his mouth, he couldn't help the second orgasm that triggered, her blood was the sweetest thing he's ever tasted. He closed his eyes as he pumped venom into her system. Pulling himself out of her body, he proceeded to bite her wrists, inner thighs, and finally her ankles. Once finished; he walked to the bathroom grabbing a washcloth. Gently cleaning her body of the blood that trickled out. Finishing up, he dressed her in a silk nightgown, something that wouldn't make her uncomfortable, looking down he could tell that the change had started.
Watching her body, he could see that the pain was working its way through her body, but she remained silent. In over a 100 years he's never seen anyone go through the change so quietly. Jasper didn't have a long to think about why she wasn't screaming, because he could feel Garrett, he was scared. Opening his door, he flitted to their room, "Garrett, I feel you're scared, what's the matter?" He was nervous that his friend might have killed Bella.
Garrett got off the bed, and opened the door, his eyes were black as night. "She's not screaming, I killed her. I KILLED MY MATE." he cried.
With the door open he could feel Bella, she was like Amelia, in pain, but silent. Putting his hands on his friend's shoulder, "She's alive man. I can feel her. She's just not screaming. Amelia is upstairs silent as well." Jasper sent Bella's emotions towards Garrett. The moment he did, Garrett relaxed. "It's OK, Amelia's silence scared me as well."
Taking a moment to center himself, he looked over at Jasper, "Thank you. I honestly thought I did something wrong."
Jasper could understand, if he wasn't able to feel Amelia he would probably have thought the same thing. "I know, I would have thought the same thing. Go back to her, and talk to her about her past, anything she told you she wanted to remember, I'm going back to Amelia now that you are fine. I'll see you, my friend in a couple days." With that Jasper left his friend to deal with his mate.
Entering his room, Jasper laid on the bed next to her, going over every detail of her life that she shared with him, reminding her of her family, of the Whitlocks, of the Denali's. Repeating this over and over again. Over the next 3 days, he never stopped talking to his mate. Soon enough she would open her eyes into her new life, that was a moment that Jasper couldn't wait for.
