Jessica Stanley, GOAT

Part XII

Jessica hurled open the front door (which was unlocked) to discover her mother unharmed inside the kitchen. She looked just peachy. Perhaps, a little better than normal? There was something different about her- no, that shouldn't be her focus right now.

No vampire in sight. Jessica's chest expanded in relief before the confusion returned.

But no- she was wrong! Her mother wasn't alone. A man stood in the shadows behind her. Why weren't all the lights on? Despite her diminished visibility, Jessica soon caught on to a couple settled in the corner of the living room.

Was it just her, or were they all pale... really pale?

Recent sighting of Bella Swan and...CULLEN pale. Holy shit, were they vampires?

And just like that, Jessica saw the writing on the wall.

Jessica bowed her head to admire the cleavage of her chest in her low-cut purple shirt. Because it would be the last time. "May my soul Rest in peace," she whispered to herself before her obvious imminent death.

"She's not alone," the creepy man in the shadows behind her mother announced. Jessica's mother turned around to explain it was just her date dropping her off. That was incorrect but Jessica wasn't going to be jumping the gun and start running off her mouth in a room of alleged vampires. Was her mother a victim? Did Jessica stumble upon a turf war between wolves and vampires? Now it all made sense why Jake disliked Edward. Mortal enemies. Duh. Fighting over a weak human girl that was a damsel in distress. The enlightenment brought upon Jessica's discovery of this world of mythical beings was rather fascinating. Hell, she made out with a werewolf. She could write a fantasy romance novel about this shit and become rich.

Well, if she lived to tell the tale. That was still up in the air at this point. No one had made any sudden movements in the room.

"Mother, are you being held for ransom for your blood or you better explain what the hell is going on."

"So, she already knows," the woman in the back corner mused with a muted flint in her red eyes as she stepped closer to the light. "She's smart for a brat. I think-"

Crashing behind Jessica now was Seth in his scary wolfy glory. Massive teeth on display growled as Seth's body stepped in front of Jessica's like a shield.

Without missing a beat, Jessica dropped to the ground and crawled under his body. Her mother still hadn't responded. And before she could pressure her into responding, Seth's body submitted to the floor of the entry hallway and he began to whine. The sound was a knife in her own heart as she mirrored his pain.

What was going on? What was wrong with him?

Jessica's eyes scoured the room and locked on the petite woman with a malicious look on her face. It was a bitch level Jessica could level up to once upon a time. Jessica didn't know why, but she felt like she was the source of Seth's pain. With no fear of what the repercussions could be, she grabbed the vase on the shelf next to her and chucked it at the little demon woman. The man behind demon spawn intercepted the vase but it still broke her concentration and Seth momentarily stopped whining.

"What the fuck is going on!" Jessica roared as her accusing eyes landed on the guilty face of her mother.

"Jane, stop!" Her mother commanded when Seth began to whine again. When Seth's echoes of pain didn't cease, Jessica's mother used more weight behind her words saying, "don't make me show Aro."

The bitch stopped. Seth was calm again. Jessica was even more confused.

"Sweetie, this isn't how I wanted you to meet your new family."

Jessica's jaw dropped while she bent to the ground to comfort Seth. Did she mishear her mother?

"New?"

"Well, soon to be official. I am getting married!" Her mother sung off key while wagging a pretty ginormous diamond on her left-hand ring finger in the air. Even in the poorly lit room, NO ONE could miss it unless they were blind.

"To who? Is it a fucking vampire? What the hell is going on!" Jessica growled before stepping back when Seth stood up on all fours again.

"Explain more when the dog leaves first," commanded the man by the twisted-psycho woman who had some voodoo magic powers that could hurt Seth.

"He won't leave. They are mated." The shadowy figure drawled with annoyance that had a hint of intrigue.

"Whhhhhhhhaaaaaat?" Jessica sputtered while looking between herself and wolf version Seth. "I am a virgin for crying out loud!"

"Not that version. Soul mates. Bonded."

"I need a fucking drink." Jessica abandoned Seth and strode past her mother and dark figure guy to break out the tequila she bought earlier today. After cracking open the glass bottle's seal, she took three long chugs before taking a long breath in and then out.

"In the span of five minutes I have learned the guy interested in me is a werewolf, my mom has vampire friends and therefore maybe is engaged to one as well AND Seth is my soul mate?" Jessica threw up her hands in the air. "I'm on Punk'd right?! I mean idk how they did the wolf trick, but this can't be real. All show, right?"

"Not worth explaining here. We could have Cullen problems soon." Jessica fist pumped she was right in assuming the Cullen's were vampires. But wait, oh shit did that make this coo-coo-ness real then? "Let's just grab her and head back. That was the plan anyways."

"I needed to explain more first," Jessica's mom pleaded.

"That was the plan before wolfy here threw a wrench in it. Just grab her Alec and let's go."

"Wait! What? Mom?" Jessica asked while sprinting back to Seth. Seth was miraculously back up in 100% wolf mode again. It was a rather frightening show to Jessica. Obviously, a fight was about to go down.

Jessica was well acquainted with the art of not comprising. But...when Seth began to emit the heart wrenching whining sound again, Jessica realized how real this may be and she was putting him in danger. The current stats were not in his favor.

Longingly, she looked at Seth like it was just the two of them in the room. She took that moment and saved it in her heart for going forward.

"I'll go in peace. Please leave him alone," Jessica begged while petting Seth's sandy brown muzzle in apology for having to abandon him.

She had to believe they would leave him unharmed. Because he was still whining when she followed her mother and her "new family" out the front door and that evil smirk had yet to falter on that bitch's face.

Author's Note: Don't worry things will be remedied in the next update! I hope you guys find humor in this like I do! Lol And yeah, kinda wild to throw the volturi in there but it kinda seemed really out there but…I really dug this idea that of all the people the Cullen's know that Jessica would become the future step-daughter of the "king" of the Vampires behahaha and we gotta find out still like what the hell is the back story on this pairing?! XD

P.s. the reason Seth didn't immediately follow Jessica was because of an alpha order.
