Authors Note. Really enjoying writing this story and happy to see all the comments, on with the show I think we need to see what Jasper is up too I annoyed him last chapter when he wasn't featured 'rolls eyes' also I have changed canon slightly in the books the vampires can move at a speed that makes them appear as a blur to the human eye with that being the case the speed wouldn't be that high, so in my story a vampire can travel between 400mph and 500mph so they wouldn't be seen by the naked eye like a blur, some people may catch a glimpse but they would consider it a trick of the light or their own imagination and would never be able to tell it was a person.
Jasper POV
It didn't take me long to get to Boston and I wasn't even travelling at my top speed, as I travelled I started to wonder what would be revealed once I spoke to Peter, I had a feeling that something big was going to happen my body almost vibrated with anticipation I had never felt anything like it. I went to the house that Peter owned in Boston. He and Char owned houses or apartments in nearly every major city in the north, they were nomads but liked the amenities of living in a home so they always had a home no matter where they went and they never hunted near their home.
The three story town house was next to the water in Beacon Hill it was an end terrace in a line of houses which were mostly used as holiday homes, I always loved Peter and Chars places they had homes in the city they were part of the city it helped them blend in they only ever showed the wealth of those that lived around them, they did own a few homes in the middle of nowhere just like I owned a few that the Cullen's didn't even know about. Peter had long ago said that I should only ever share my property and possessions with my true mate and when he met Alice he warned me again telling me the little pixie would bleed me dry given a chance. Peter handled all my finances and investments so there was no risk of either the pixie or mind reader discovering any of it.
I made myself comfortable in the sitting room not that I wouldn't be comfortable standing or sitting on rocks vampires rarely got uncomfortable although it took some time after the change to get used to all the different textures of different materials. Sitting on a comfortable sofa or soft bed could bring a different kind of comfort as it pulled on feelings from our human lives.
I knew Peter and Char would be here soon so I relaxed and let my mind drift, I thought about how I met my Brother in all but blood, I had turned him myself he was a soldier on leave in 1882, thirteen years after my own change Maria had sent me out to recruit I chose several humans that night some weren't changed and were made a meal but Peter, Peter was something else he somehow knew there was danger and managed to help some of his comrades to escape, I could have caught them but I turned a blind eye. I was going to let him go but one of the other recruiters saw him and tried to claim him, I stepped in and claimed him myself knowing that the other recruiter usually failed in turning their recruits and also liked to play with their recruits. I quickly bit Peter pumping as much venom in him as possible and strange emotion over came me it to me a moment to recognise that the emotion that hit me was one of concern for the man I was turning.
I expected him to hate me when he woke up they usually did but Peter was different for a newborn he was reasonably controlled and after the initial rage and thirst he calmed and then spent the next few months trying to worm his way through my hard bastard shell. You see many people thought I had separate personalities but they were very wrong, I was like any other vampire I had the vampire part of me that yes was very vicious and had been dubbed the god of war Maria had spent a lot of time torturing me and pushing me to release that part of me it lead to only blood and death. However many thought I had another called the Major and in some ways they weren't wrong the Major persona was me only the darkest part, the soldier from the wars the bastard who tortured and killed thousands but it was still me. Created to protect myself from the emotions of the wars but some thought the Major had a separate voice but that was simply not true.
The major persona would slip into place at times of stress and danger it was like a favourite jumper you would slip on for comfort the Major was my safety blanket because I knew when I was in that mode I could make sure what needed to be done was done. I allowed people to think I had a separate personality that I had the major locked up tight it made people feel safe but Peter and Charlotte knew the truth and its why they always called me major.
Anyway Peter stuck by me annoyed me, humoured me, and stood by me and fought, he was strong and took any punishment Maria gave out bravely just like she had tried to break me she tried to break him and he created the Captain persona to protect himself which just pissed off Maria more because Peter's basic personality was a cocky bastard and the captain persona was just without the humour and could be just as nasty as me. I trained Peter and for seventeen years we fought side by side we were unstoppable and he was there to bring me back when Maria decide she wanted the god of war to be released and then everything changed. We were recruiting again when peter saw one of the other recruiters in the process of raping a young woman with blonde hair he killed the recruiter but the woman was hurt by him she would not live to see the sun rise. Peter was looking at her and I felt his emotions I knew what it meant and for the first time since I first awoke in that hell I felt fear.
"You must not tell Maria or anyone else." I told him as I quickly bit the woman he growled at me angry I was touching his mate but her didn't attack he knew that he wouldn't have been able to do it. If he had done it Maria would have been suspect especially as he had killed another recruiter.
"You were feeding when he attacked you, your meal was his cantante." He nodded "I will look after her I promise." I knew he would face punishment but I would not allow my brother to lose his mate.
When she awoke she attacked me and I got bit on the upper arm I managed calm her and she told me her name Charlotte, I explained everything and quickly told her about Peter and the importance of hiding their bond like Peter she was more controlled than the others, I would have thought it was my venom that made them controlled but I would later learn it was to do with their mating Peter's control was part of her and I was glad because it saved her life. Maria paraded Peter around his arms barely attached new scars on his torso, if Charlotte had no control she would have attacked and she and Peter would have died. Two days later they finally met I had taken Charlotte as my charge along with two others Mike and Stan they were not as controlled but had shown good skills I took all three hunting and while I kept an eye on Mike and Stan Peter stole Char away. It was hard keeping the secret and when Char's name appeared on the culling list my heart broke. Three days I tried to think of a solution and so I decided that Peter could help me with the culling I slipped into the major persona because I knew that the pain I was going to feel was going to suck and I knew I was going to face the worst punishment I would ever face. I made sure Char was last to be called and when I called her in the panic from Peter hit me so hard I quickly turned away.
"You need to run Peter take Char and go" I couldn't look at him I felt his shock and then his love for me small arms wrapped around me and I closed my eyes feeling Char as she hugged me. It quickly ended and they were gone I gave them a five minute head start and then reported it. Maria was furious for the next six months I was starved to the point of insanity ripped apart bitten exposed to the pain of changing humans constantly and eventually the god of war came forth. I awoke covered in blood bodies all around ripped apart so badly you couldn't tell they were human. I screamed out my Rage and pain and then stuffed it all down turned all my emotions off and became the Major fully.
1907 things were changing it had been seven years since I had let Peter and Char run and Maria was getting tired of me I no longer visited her bed and I refused to turn anyone her emotions told me she was planning to kill me. That's when Peter appeared for the first time I felt my emotions when he came back for me to tell me of another way to live, I didn't even hesitate leaving with him, Alice likes to brag that she saved me and even had the audacity to say I didn't need Peter and Char in my life I told her point blank that she may have helped me but it was Peter and Charlotte were the ones that saved me.
"Getting lost there Major" Peter's voice reached me and I opened my eyes back in the present.
"Just remembering who my true family are brother." He smiled and then I had someone in m arms. Charlotte was a hugger when she liked you she would greet you with a hug.
"Hey Char" I chuckled Peter and Char were the only ones that could surprise me with a touch I trusted them utterly anyone else I may have thrown or at least warned with a growl or snarl. Alice had made the mistake of jumping on my back when I was finished hunting she had ended up across the clearing with me in a defensive crouch, It was that day I learned she had trouble seeing me. I wasn't blind to her she could still see things but it gave me some wiggle room.
"So Brother the shit hits the fan hasn't" I nodded "then you need to start from the beginning and then hopefully I can fill in the blanks."
I started when we met Bella told them everything I watched as Peter nodded along in some bits and felt his anger at others.
"You didn't kill the Mate" He snarled when I explained about the nomads I shook my head.
"She ran and Esme and Rose didn't go after her and by the time I got back I had lost the trail Alice told me that she wasn't truly mated and Edward confirmed it and for some reason I believed it." I was ashamed because I knew better.
"Carry on Major I need to hear it all" I nodded and carried on telling him everything from what I saw heard and felt.
"... and then I got your call" I finished He took a deep breath
"Major your not going to like what I tell you but I know I need to tell you." Another breath he was nervous and I understood when we were turned you did kill the messenger and in this moment he was the messenger. "First of all the Mind reader and Pixie are manipulating the entire coven including you the mind reader has a second part to his gift he can change someone's perception of an event and make them believe what he says, with humans he can even make them do something physically. They are very careful with you they used your guilt over your slips to control you I know you could tell when Alice was lying but what about the Mind reader?"
"No I always felt there was something off but I never actually felt his deception."
"that because he made sure to changer you view on his emotions anyway lets move on the rest you are really not going to like." He looked at Char who had moved to the love seat by where Peter sat, she squeezed his hand and nodded, "Alice and Edward set up the Nomads" I growled loudly "Alice was turned by James he hunted her she lied about the other vampire turning her and she lied about not remembering her past. Bella was not meant to survive were you in Major mode?" I nodded "When you are in Major mode Alice can't see you and the mind reader can't effect you so they were unable to slow you down and because you drove the others were with you and he had to save her instead of drain her."
"He almost did I had to help him take the thirst from him and made him lethargic so Emmett could pull him off." I explained.
"Ok so the next incident is the birthday party, Bella got a paper cut.." I nodded
"Yeah and Edwards blood lust spiked I took a step forward to stop him when he threw her back and she hit the glassware and cut her up, everyone bloodlust hit but Edwards skyrocketed I moved to intercept him which but the others seemed to think I was going for Bella so they grabbed me which broke everyone shock and caused Carlisle to step in and clear the room and tend to Bella."
"Alright so I have a question why was there so much glassware there?" Peter asked, "there was one human there no one else would be eating and drinking and why was that table there?" It was the same questions I had asked myself.
"I really don't know" I told him and he gave a quick nod
"Ok so you were taken outside you told Emmett and Rose what happened and then went to hunt right?" I nodded in agreement "and then when you got back they all acted like it was you who had lost control."
"Yup that's when I realised that Eddie boy was lying for what purpose I don't know." I told him.
"Well Major you really ain't going to like it but Bella is your mate." I just stared at him in shock and then anger hit full force, because some part of me knew he was right I had felt protective of Bella from the moment I met her and Peter was never wrong. I growled loudly
"They knew!" I hissed and Peter simply nodded "I will fucking kill them" I snarled which made Peter chuckle and Char smile and then it hit me "I have to go back to forks I have to go to her, Victoria is still out there..." I stood up and Peter raised his hands
"Whoa there Major one Bella is no longer in forks and two Victoria has been taken care of." He told me
"Where is she Peter?" I growled he smiled and I wanted to smack him which made him grin even more.
"Volterra Major." I froze shocked at the answer "It's all clicked now She called them after Eddie left her she knew she was in danger from Victoria so called them Aro sent the guard to pick her up and take care of the red head." He explained "So the question is Major what do you want to do first go and get your mate or go after the Mind reader and Pixie." I smiled then
"I Believe my Mate should have a say in how I kill them don't you" Peter chuckled once more
"Three tickets to Italy coming right up."
Bella POV
It was strange being comforted by people I hardly knew but felt a connection to, Athena sat rubbing my back as I calmed, and Jane sat with one of my hands in her.
"Do you want to talk about it Bella?" Athena asked I was already shaking my head but for some reason I wanted to tell them.
"It's..." I swallowed deciding I would tell them I could trust them "It's him abandoning me only this time Victoria is there and she attacks me." Athena rubbed up and down my back soothing me.
"You're safe here Bella Victoria is in the dungeon and the mind reader will be dealt with" Jane told me I gave her a small smile "I am going to go get you something to eat" Before I could say anything Jane was gone.
"Come on Bella lets go into the sitting room or would you like to go back to sleep." I shook my head
"No I don't think I would be able to go back to sleep." I told her "But I would like to freshen up" she smiled and nodded I noticed my bag was on the sheet box at the end of the bed. She opened a door that was to the right of the bed as I stood I saw it was a beautiful en suite.
"There are towels already in there, would you like a bath or shower."
"i just have a shower" I told her as I moved to my bag.
"Hmm you are going to need more clothes" I almost laughed at the disapproval in her voice at the lack of my clothes. "I'll be in the sitting room when you're ready." I nodded and smiled as she left.
The shower was amazing the temperature was perfect the shower head was square and covered my entire body when I was under it. The floor was textured and made my feet feel wonderful as it was also heated. Once I was done I took note that the bath would get used soon it looked deep and inviting and I could see the jets it would be like a jacuzzi.
I dressed quickly and was just about to brush my hair when Athena reappeared she didn't say anything when she took the brush from my hand. She brushed my hair and quickly put in a French braid.
"thank you" I told her it felt like she had massaged my scalp.
"You are very welcome Bella" She placed the brush on the dressing table "come Jane has brought up some food" I stood and she linked my arm, It was strange to feel so comfortable with her and I knew I could go to her for anything even if it was just for comfort.
Jane and Caius were the only ones in my personal sitting room and before I could wonder where everyone was Athena whispered in my ear.
"They didn't want to crowd you and wanted you to eat in peace." she told me and I smiled slightly embarrassed but really touched. It was then I saw the food my mouth dropped slightly,
"Jane I can't eat all that there enough to feed ten people." There was a mixture of cooked meats sandwiches and cakes, there were several different drinks including coffee tea and soft drinks.
"Just eat what you can Bella and it's all cold so you don't need to eat it all at once but if you want something hot I can get you something" I shook my head
"you've already done enough Jane Thank you" I sat and quickly picked a few things and began to eat. I ate more than I expected because as soon as I bit the first sandwich I was ravenous the others in the room were doing their own thing Athena and Caius were talking over by the window and Jane was sitting in the arm chair on her phone I almost laughed when I realised she was playing candy crush. When I was done I sat back and pulled my phone out then froze.
"I can't use this can I" they all looked at me
"No Bella but we will replace it." Caius spoke moving over he quickly took my phone and I sighed. "Do you have anything on this phone you want?" I nodded
"Yeah there are some photo's on there." I explained.
"Then I will make sure to recover them before we destroy the phone"
"Thank you" I was grateful and I did feel safe.
