Hi everyone. Welcome to Chapter 12 of Soulless Monsters. This is something I started a fair while ago and came back to recently and finished. I am proud to say it is now fully uploaded and this story is complete. I do have a sequel and a prequel that I am working on, the sequel inspired by the reviews from the last chapter where Alice get's in trouble and Edward reacts to this. The prequel is Daring Dares and the Cullen kids along with Peter and Charlotte play a game of dares that gets a little out of hand. If you have a preference for which one you would like to see put up first please let me know.

Summary: AU Twilight. Bella was the first human Carlisle changed into a vampire in 1736, due to how she 'died' as a human she sees being a vampire as the best thing that happened to her. Alice is human and Edward has fallen in love with her. Carlisle uses spanking as discipline for his five vampire children. Edward firmly believes they are soulless monsters; Bella does not. What happens when they both lose their temper?

Warning: This story contains the spanking of teenaged vampires. Do not read if this offends.

"You know you don't need to keep charming Charlie right Bella? He would honestly adopt you if he could… he's considered it. When you told him it was Jasper's family's recipe book he thought about offering you both a place to stay; about telling Carlisle and Esme that you two would always be welcome with him if they needed time off," Edward told his sister.

Bella shrugged smiling. "I'm not trying to charm him Edward, just being myself. I can't help it if you're the guy stealing his daughter away and I'm said daughter's best friend," she teased.

Jasper shook his head. "Kitten you could charm the hind legs off a donkey just by smiling and you know that well," he corrected.

Bella crossed her arms over her chest and harrumphed playfully.

As they didn't have to follow Alice's truck they were able to get home within minutes and Jasper pulled the car into the garage as Carlisle drove up. Rose was still in the garage working under Emmett's Jeep.

Carlisle looked at his kids. "As you're all here would you mind giving Edward and I some privacy? I know you don't need to hunt but I'll let you know when you can return," he requested softly.

"Sure Daddy," Bella agreed standing up on her tip toes to kiss her Dad on the cheek, she took Jasper's hand and they left the garage, Emmett and Rose hot on their heels.

"What shall we do?" Emmett asked.

Rose frowned. "I don't know about you guys, but the way James was able to track Alice was a little unnerving for me. What can you teach us about tracking Jasper?" she asked.

"Hell yeah! Come on Jazzman, teach us how to track," Emmett demanded.

Jasper paused thinking about it then shrugged. "Sure, Bella do you mind being my teaching tool?" he asked. He'd already taught Bella how to track, though she didn't have a gift to help her, she was still better than ninety percent of the other vampires out there.

Bella smiled. "Sounds fun. How about an easy trail to follow first?" she asked.

Jasper picked Bella up under the thighs and pressed his forehead to hers, breathing in her scent before pressing a lingering kiss to her lips. "Perfect," he breathed.

Bella wrapped her legs around Jasper's waist to hold herself up and returned the kiss happily. "Come find me," she murmured.

"Always," Jasper agreed firmly. He let Bella down and watched as she vanished through the trees before turning his attention to the two expectant vampires in front of him. "The first thing you need to know about tracking is how to follow a trail, you need to learn to use all of your senses and not just your sense of smell, like Pa had you put on Alice's clothes Rose, scent can be misleading, you need to look for foot prints and other signs as well," he instructed. Jasper fell easily into the role of instructor; he had no desire to lead his family, but sharing his expertise was something he enjoyed.

Emmett and Rose listened carefully to Jasper's instructions, both willing students in the art of tracking.

Carlisle waited and watched as four of his five kids left, no four of his six kids now, seeing as Alice was going to be changed – possibly in as little as a years time. He heard Esme leaving as well; she very rarely stayed when the kids were going to get a spanking. He turned to his youngest son and glanced towards the main house. "What do you say we go up to my study and get this over and done with Little Man?" he asked.

Edward winced but nodded wordlessly and turned heading into the house and walking up to his father's study. As he got closer to the study he started dragging his feet more and more.

Carlisle followed behind Edward and when his son was moving at a snails pace even for a human he cleared his throat. "Unless you need me to carry you…" he trailed off.

Edward shook his head. "No thank you, that won't be necessary," he begged off. Though it was the last thing he wanted to do he picked up his pace and walked towards the study a little quicker.

Once they got to Carlisle's study, he let them both inside and took his place behind his desk. "Take a seat son," he invited.

Edward sighed and did as he was told, sitting in one of the two available seats looking anywhere but at his Dad.

Carlisle watched Edward for a moment before calling his attention to him. "Look at me please Edward," he intoned softly.

Edward reluctantly dragged his eyes from the window and focused on his Dad shifting uncomfortably in the chair.

Carlisle stared at his son for a long minute before sighing and shaking his head. "Honestly Edward, I am at a loss here, Bella is your sister, how you ever thought fighting her would be acceptable is beyond me. That you actually went ahead and bit her… frankly I am utterly disappointed in your behaviour. I am aware she attacked you first, but don't even think about trying a self-defence line because you could have easily ran away and out run her. You boast the claim of being the fastest in this family and didn't even try and use that speed to get away, instead you hoped that speed would help you win the fight," he scolded.

Edward flinched back from the harsh scolding; he didn't try and defend his actions anymore, he knew what he did was wrong and so hung his head ashamed.

"Eyes on me Edward," Carlisle reprimanded.

Edward immediately looked up and met his Dad's eyes, keeping the eye contact. "Sorry Dad, I'm so sorry, I know there's no excuse for attacking Bella and I take full responsibility for my actions," he apologised.

Carlisle nodded. "I'm not really the one you should be apologising too am I now?" he asked rhetorically. "Never-the-less, I think I have said all that needs to be said. You know my rules well and no violence is one of the four big ones is it not?"

Edward gulped and shifted lower in his seat guiltily. "Yes Sir," he agreed meekly.

Carlisle stood up and cleared his desk off quickly. "Bare your bottom and bend over my desk, holding onto the other side please," he instructed, not unkindly.

Edward rose from his seat, but gave Carlisle a pleading look even as he moved to obey.

Carlisle shook his head at the pleading look. "Over the desk Edward, and be thankful I am not pinning you over my lap. The only reason I am not is because I want to it to be perfectly clear that your words to your sister were the worse offence," he lectured.

Edward nodded stiffly and pushed his sweat pants down to his knees before pushing his boxers down to join them and stepping forward to bend over the desk, holding onto the other end. It was mostly for hand position holding onto the other end, his Dad would be extremely unimpressed if he damaged his desk by holding the wood too tightly.

Carlisle stepped forward and placed his hand on the small of Edward's back to hold him in place. "Fighting with your siblings will never be acceptable," he reminded. With that he drew his hand back and brought it down hard on Edward's upturned bottom. He quickly settled into a rhythm that worked for him and enabled him to cover Edward's bottom, sit spots and thighs.

Edward fought to keep himself bent over the desk, it was easier over his Dad's knee as you could kick, squirm, and cling onto his leg; bent over the desk you had to hold yourself in place and couldn't really kick. Still it was better than being completely pinned over Dad's lap.

Carlisle made sure to cover the whole of Edward's bottom, with the occasional swat landing on his sit spots and upper thighs. Having a vampire memory was useful when doling out a spanking, as vampire skin didn't change colour and only increased very slightly in temperature, knowing where he'd already spanked was very important. He moved the focus of his swats to mainly his sit spots, wanting to be sure Edward was reminded of this every time he sat down for a good long time.

Edward finally lost his battle with his sobs and started sobbing as the spanks focused on his sit spots. "Ooooowww! Pleeeeease!" he cried out.

"I hope, young man, you are thinking very seriously about your behaviour and we won't have to have this conversation again, because I assure you, if you ever engaged in a physical fight with any of your siblings again I will pin you over my lap and spank you every day for a week," Carlisle warned.

"Aaah! I am! I am! Owwww! I won't fight again! I promise!" Edward cried out. He was trying very hard not to kick wildly and restrict his movements to just squirming his hips.

Carlisle continued to bring his hand down hard on Edward's sit spots. "I will hold you to that promise Edward Antony Masen Cullen," he confirmed. He moved his focus onto Edward's thighs, going half way down them and back up.

Edward finally gave in and just sobbed hard.

Carlisle knew the moment Edward gave in and gave ten last hard swats to the middle of both cheeks before pulling up Edward's boxers, rubbing his back, and letting him cry it out over his desk. He left his sweats down for the moment as he doubted even the softer sweat pant material would feel all that good against his bottom.

Edward sobbed hard before trying to push himself up off the desk.

Carlisle helped Edward stand up and pulled him into his arms, hugging his young son. "You're okay Little Man, Daddy's here, I've got you," he soothed.

Edward wrapped his arms around his Dad and sobbed. "I'm sorry Dad, I'm so sorry," he choked out.

Carlisle held Edward tightly and rubbed his back. "Shh, I forgive you Little Man, it's okay, no more, it's all over, you're forgiven and I love you so much my son," he assured.

Edward held onto his Dad until he calmed down and then pulled away a little embarrassed.

"I'm proud of you Little Man," Carlisle told him.

Edward blinked confused. "What? Dad I…" he trailed off.

"I'm always proud of you Edward, I might be disappointed in your behaviour sometimes, but that would never take away the pride I have for you," Carlisle explained.

Edward threw his arms back around his Dad as he tried hard not to break down and start sobbing again.

Carlisle wrapped Edward up in his arms and rubbed his back. "Don't ever think that you don't bring me pride everyday son. Of all my achievements in life, you and your siblings mean more than all the rest put together," he admitted.

If Edward could have blushed he knew he would have been bright red then. "Uh thanks Dad," he mumbled. He stayed in his Dad's arms for a moment longer before pulling away.

Carlisle reached forward and squeezed Edward's shoulder affectionately. "I should probably call your Mom, let her know you've survived… and your siblings, let them know they can come home," he mused out loud.

Edward chuckled and shook his head. "Mom gives new meaning to the term protective Mama bear."

"That she does Little Man," Carlisle agreed. "Though you know she does it because she loves you all so much, don't you?"

Edward nodded quickly. "Of course Dad, I love you too. We're all lucky to have both you and Mom as parents," he insisted.

Carlisle smiled. "I would say your Mom and I are the lucky ones having six wonderful kids, and yes I did include Alice in that," he argued.

Edward grinned. "She'll like that, she cares for you and Mom you know? Charlie is great, but he's not really a parent and she was always the carer with her Mom, she loves it when you and Mom take care of her," he told his Dad.

"Why don't you go lie down in your room while I call your Mom and siblings home?" Carlisle suggested. He watched as his son walked out of his study before calling his wife and telling her they were done and she could come home. Once he finished that call he called Bella to ask her to let her siblings and mate know they were free to come home as well.

When they returned Edward came downstairs to apologise to Bella again. "Bella I…" he started.

Bella gave a small smile, she had forgiven Edward, yes, but that didn't undo the hurt his words had caused her and it would be a while before their relationship could heal. "I know Edward," she interrupted.

"Edward, Bella, the two of you can start cleaning up this mess, Jasper you can help them as well, and the three of you are going to help me redecorate," Esme informed her three miscreants.

Under the warning look being directed their way from their father all three managed to resist groaning. Emmett however couldn't resist guffawing in amusement.

Carlisle cleared his throat. "If you find it so amusing Emmett perhaps you wish to assist as well," he offered lightly.

Emmett sobered up instantly. "No Sir, I'm good."

Carlisle nodded trying to hide his amusement. "That's what I thought Son."

So here ends Soulless Monsters. That was Chapter 12 the final chapter of the story. Like I said I do have a prequel and a sequel planned, but also if you have any ideas for things you might like to see, drop me a PM or a review and I'll do my best to accommodate that idea.

Thank you all so, so much for reading, following, favouriting, and reviewing. And that goes to those who have only just found this story and those who followed from the first chapter to this one. I hope I see you for the next instalment.
