Here I am with another chapter! This one will be shorter than the previous one, but more intense.
I hope you'll enjoy! x
JASPER POV
I truly hope Bella will be alright. She's doin' good right now. I sense no suspicion when we arrive in the camp.
I can tell she's scared, but she's also fightin' it. Good girl.
My skin crawls as we reach Maria and Kai. Bella was right, he's huge. For a second I fear for her safety, and the strong urge to run away and hide with her and protect her from anythin' and everythin' nearly wins over my military side. But we oughta do this and I trust her abilities.
"Mi Amor, you have returned to me" Maria breathes out, prolly tryin' to be seductive, her voice as light and feminine as always. It sickens me, but I need ta play the part. She smiles at me, and takes a step forward. Despite my urge to tear her to pieces, I mirror her movement, goin' ta stand in front o' her.
We'll be one soon The Major whispers in my head. I can feel it, we'll kill this bitch as one and destroy her regime once and for all.
A bolt of excitement runs through me, and I let Maria feel it. As I predicted, she thinks my excitement is caused by finally havin' returned here, but instead it's from the wonderful images runnin' through my head. All 'bout killin' her.
She smiles wider and reaches up to caress my biceps.
I think I might puke.
Her touch is sickenin', and I want ta rip her fuckin' hand off, but I restrain myself.
I also try ta avoid focusin' too much on Kai's lust—all directed ta Bella. I hope she'll make him suffer, 'cause he deserves it.
Bella tries ta kick her, and Maria swiftly avoids her. They both glare at each other. It think Bella is fightin' the urge ta kick her again. I try not to laugh. My little hellion is scared o' no one.
"What is this? Your puta?" she asks, disgust clear in her eyes. Bella growls. Fuckin' growls! This amuses me just enough ta stop me from rippin' Maria's head off. How dare she call Bella a whore. If she's searchin' for a whore she needs ta look in the fuckin' mirror.
I chuckle without mirth, and I feel Bella shot some annoyance at me. Uh-oh. I hope she won't kick my ass for this. "She ain't my plaything. She's a gift. For ya and 'im" I say, noddin' at Kai. A shudder runs through Bella and I once again fight my need ta protect her.
We'll kill Maria, and then she'll be safe, the Major whispers once again. I can feel myself mergin' back to the God of War every seconds that passes.
"Oh, mi Amor, you're so kind. Her blood does smell tantalizing" she says, sniffing Bella. I stifle a growl.
Then Bella does somethin' that makes me wanna kiss her then and there. I'll fuckin' build her a statue. She spits in Maria' eye.
She has perfect aim.
But I still need to act as if I love Maria. Puah, the mere thought is disgustin'.
Maria shrieks and I growl, pushing Bella to her knees, tryin' not to actually hurt her. "Arrastrada!" she growls at Bella, her hands diving to her throat, and I swear my heart fuckin' beats with fright.
"Wait, Maria" I say on a whim, catchin' her hands mid-flight. Bella bleeds relief.
She turns her anger-darkened eyes ta me. "Why do you want me to spare her, mi Amor? Did you perhaps fall in love?" she asks, a note of disbelief and mockery in her voice. How I hate her.
But my mind conjures another image, a very pleasurable one. A vampire Bella and I, huggin' and kissin', in our own home. Both o' us with matin' bites on our necks. Happy and in love.
Beautiful.
Maria stares at me and I realise I have fantasised for a second too long.
I scoff. "Por supuesto che no, Maria. Ya know me. I don't wanna ya ta kill her 'cause she's a shield" I say, playin' my cards. I know that she'll never refuse a gifted one. Have I imagined the lust rollin' off o' Bella when I spoke Spanish?
Maria's eyes widen comically. "This pathetic wimp? Imposible!"
"Ask your friend here. He'll see he can't control this little hellion" I say, noddin' to Kai. He still hasn't stopped starin' and lustin' after Bella. Motherfucker.
Bella tries once again to break free as Kai narrows his burgundy eyes at her. I can see the perversion in his eyes and I don't wanna imagine what he might have in store for her. Bella defiantly stares at him right in the eye, refusin' ta back down despite knowing he's tryin' ta control her. Admirable.
When Kai growls and begrudgingly nods at Maria, her eyes widen even more. Take that you fuckin' slut.
My entire being recoils at my words, but I need to say them anyway. "This is my gift for ya, my love. I missed ya and I know how ya love havin' many playthings. I thought maybe I'd regain back yer favor by bringin' ya her" I shake Bella a bit, "Yer friend here can have some fun with her before ya change her" I nod to Kai.
"No!" Bella shouts, kickin' and scratchin' me to no avail. Her act is so convincin' that Kai smirks, not suspectin' anythin'.
"It'll be my pleasure, Major" he says, holding his arm out to grab her.
As I hand her over to him she tries to make a run for it, perfectly keepin' up the act, but Kai swiftly grabs her elbow and slams her into his chest, knockin' the wind out of her. I fight back a growl but concentrate on letting the Major merge with me.
I need to time my unification perfectly. I want Maria's death to be the first thing I do once I'll be complete once again.
The world will finally be free of Maria's influence.
I watch for a second as Kai drags Bella away, then I turn as I feel Maria's small hand graze my forearm. She smiles at me and I feel waves of lust comin' off of her. Disgusting.
To think that I even loved this bitch at the beginnin' of my new life…
I smile at her. She smiles back, "How happy am I to have you back, mi Amor. But then again, you already know" she purrs, and I fight back a gag. Instead I laugh mellifluously, "Indeed I do, Maria" I say.
She links her arm with mine and she leads me to her tent. It hasn't changed a bit since I last went in there.
Black carpets, two wooden chairs, one table, a lot of maps, a golden goblet of gold, a small fire in a corner.
She's so predictable.
An onslaught of memories hits me as I step in the tent. Days and nights spent here, fuckin' or drinkin' or getting' punishments. The chair on my right still has some scratches I made when Maria ordered me ta kill Charlotte—Peter's mate.
"I bet you missed it here" she says, goin' ta sit on her chair.
Not really, but I don't say that. "Sure did."
"We'll have so much fun you and I. I'm sure you realized that I have joined forces with Benito."
"I did. Why, tho? Ya hate him" I say, and I really mean it. This is one thing the Volturi couldn't find out.
She laughs, "I do, but he had Kai. He's a beast on the battlefield, as well as in the sack" she says, trailing her hands down her old-fashioned gown to pause on her hips. The motion would have made me hard in a second once, but now it only sickens me. But I need to keep pretendin' I love and want her.
My mind automatically drifts off to Bella. If it were her to trail her hands down her body, grazin' her beautiful breasts and round hips, caressin' her creamy, naked skin… there he is, my second-in-command just popped out.
She smiles when she sees my reaction, completely oblivious that it's not her who's causin' it.
"He's not as good as you, though. He can control their minds, but you made every battle so much more interesting, mi Amor."
I bow a bit, "Thank you, ma'am."
She giggles, "I always loved your southern manners. But tell me, how did you find the girl?" she asks, her eyes flashin' dangerously as she mentions Bella.
"She was here with the Volturi, I noticed Jane couldn't affect her, and came to the obvious conclusion" I tell her, omittin' the fact that I'm actually workin' for the Volturi.
She hums, twirling her braid with one finger. She seems dubious about somethin'—I can feel it in her emotions—so I quickly push her a bit of compliance and trust. Enough to make her trust me but not enough to let her know I did it. "Mi Amor, do you want to know my plan?" she eventually says.
I nod wordlessly.
Suddenly I can't speak. My mind is like a ragin' sea, memories and feelings are mixin' together, a new strength floods my system.
I vaguely hear Maria prattlin' about destroyin' every coven in the Americas and eventually kill the Volturi and enslave the humans—what the fuck, bitch?—as I feel myself become one.
I can't describe it as anything except a puzzle.
Pieces of my mind I had long buried—since I was last complete—come back to the surface, fillin' me with emotions, good and bad. I can feel myself warm up from the inside, my mind sharpen, my gift become more powerful. I can feel my body sink deeper into the ground, my muscles fill with newfound strength. I close my eyes.
We are one, at last… the Major's voice says, feebly. This will be the last time I'll hear his voice.
The last piece falls in place. I can feel every ounce of blood in my system bein' consumed by the force of my change. The gold from my eyes bleeds away, leavin' place for the thirsty black that will only be satisfied with human blood from now on.
A new power runs through my veins, strong and violent, yet controlled and sharp.
"Mi Amor?" I hear Maria's obnoxious voice.
I sneer and open my eyes. The first thing I see, is Maria's stunned face. Her burgundy eyes are searchin' my own face form somethin' she finds.
She gasps with delight, "Jasper, my Ares, mi Amor, you are back" she whispers. She raises one scarred hand to my face, prolly ta caress me.
Her hands doesn't make it that far.
My gift is more powerful than before: I can feel every newborn in this camp, as well as the guards just outside Kai's range.
But the person—the woman—I feel better than anyone here, is my Bella.
And I hear loud and clear when she shoots me a massive wave of accomplishment.
Kai is dead.
"Jasper?" Maria whimpers. I haven't realised it, but I have been squeezin' her wrist for the past seconds, so much so that I can see cracks goin' up her arm.
I growl at her, "Your time has come bitch."
Her eyes widen in realization as I let all the hate and anger I feel for her show on my face. I grin, "Ya have been fooled, Maria. Ya ain't as smart as ya though. Yer precious Kai is dead, and yer army soon will meet the same fate. Pity that ya ain't gonna see it. Ya'll be too dead to watch."
She's now outright quakin' in fear. "Please no" she whimpers, tryin' in vain to escape my clutches.
"I don't think so. Yer life on this earth has come ta an end. I think it's only fair if ya die by my hand, as I died by yers, all those years ago. Ya'll feel pain like ya have never imagined. Say yer prayers bitch" I growl, spittin' venom on her face.
My mama taught me to always me respectful towards a lady, but this is the fuckin' exception.
I roughly grab her by her hair and hit her with a dose of dizziness. She stumbles as I drag her ta the small fire in the corner, swayin' around like a drunk human. Her legs can't keep her upright; my hand in her hair is the only thin' that keeps her from crumblin' ta the ground.
I raise her ta be eye level with me. I smirk at her dizzy yet afraid face. I lick her cheeks, leavin' trails of venom on her, and then unceremoniously drop her face first on the fire.
The venom immediately catches fire and soon she's screamin' and clawin' at her face. Every ounce of pain she feels, I throw it back ta her tenfold. She's so in pain she can't even scream.
Soon, her entire rotten self in only ashes.
I take one last look at her, my old sire, and then I roar.
My roar is so powerful it shakes the tent. I can feel a wave of fright and terror from the newborns, and a strange yet welcome relief from Bella.
Caius' men charge.
As I come out of the tent, I see the Volturi guards jump in the fray, tearin' apart newborns and burnin' 'em like I taught 'em. Their work is methodical yet raw, quick yet brutal.
I join 'em, destroyin' newborns as if they were fragile china dolls, as I make my way to find Bella.
But then a thought occurs.
I can't meet her like this. I'm thirsty, and animal blood won't suffice me anymore. I need human blood, and I ain't riskin' hurtin' her just 'cause I'm thirsty.
I change directions, rememberin' that Maria always has some spare humans to feed the newborns with. I quickly reach an old tent, and I hear a man's cries. I smell blood and quickly enter. I see him—a man no older than 40—with his bleedin' wrists at his sides. He slit them with a knife.
I send him a dose of sleepiness and tranquillity so that he falls asleep and feels no pain. I bite his neck, quickly suckin' him dry. He doesn't feel any pain.
I jump out of the tent faster than lightnin' when I her Bella scream.
Bella, my mind repeats over and over, Bella Bella Bella.
Caius is quickly at my side, eyes wide at my change of eye-color, but he doesn't comment.
The sight that awaits us makes me roar.
Jane is standin' in front of Bella—who is naked from the waist on, with many bite marks on her upper body—throwin' ragin' newborns her way. Bella dodges them all, but she can't do much with only one arm, her other arm draped over her chest to cover her breasts.
I dodge a newborn that dives at me—tearin' his head off as he rips my shirt off, tryin' to rip my intestines out, I suppose—and launch myself at Jane, as Caius runs to kill the newborns surroundin' Bella and give her his cloak. Jane sees me and tries to use her gift on me, but I reflect it back on her twice as strong.
Once I'm sure Jane is witherin' on the ground like the snake she is, I look for Bella and our eyes meet. Instead of fear and disgust, I only sense love, lust and knee-wobblin' relief.
Jane screams and the guard, who has meanwhile finished destroyin' Maria's camp, is soon standin' around us. Felix comes forward, eyes grim and jaw set. Demetri and Alec are hot on his heels, all wearin' the same expression. Alec is throwin' out waves of disappointment and sadness.
The eerie silence is interrupted only by Jane's screams and Bella's heartbeat.
Caius is growlin' lowly. He scowls at Jane, "Jane Volturi, you are hereby accused of treason of the Volturi Coven, and murder of a temporary, guest member of the Volturi Coven, Isabella Marie Swan. Your trial will be held in Volterra as soon as we return. You'll make no resistance, or we'll be forced to incapacitate you."
Many of the guard gasp, but Felix and Demetri quickly haul Jane up and, when she tries to escape their clutches, as I stop usin' my gift, Alec jumps in and sedates her with his own gift.
Caius looks at him inquisitively. Alec bows at him, "My sister disobeyed your orders, Master. She tried to kill Bella, whom I think of as a friend. She'll be judged accordingly to her crimes and I will not interfere with her punishment or execution."
He's exudin' truth. "He speaks the truth" I say to Caius, as he looks at me for confirmation. He nods back.
"Guards, let us go back to our headquarters, and then we'll return home" he says, leadin' Bella to me.
She's covered with Caius' cloak, but she's tremblin'. Every time she looks at me I can feel a tendril of lust, but her emotions are mostly quiet—despite what Jane did ta her. She's really amazin'.
I hug her and she reciprocates as best as she can, with the cloak in the way, but she blankets me with a heavy wave of love.
"Let's go home, darlin'" I say, as I smell her hair.
She nods and looks up at me, and everythin' falls into place. My life, my heart, my mind… complete.
I lift her bridal style and speed with the rest of the guard back to headquarters.
When we arrive, I ignore her protests as she says she's fine, while I try to feed her some canned tuna.
I'd do anythin' for my mate.
O.O
That's all I need to say to this.
