Summary: She was supposed to be dead. He witnessed her death.
He was supposed to be dead. She witnessed his death.
So how are both of them alive if the other one sawthem die?
Why does their creator want them back?
"Maria knows you and Tiger are alive and she's coming for ya's."
Peter's words echo in my head as he tells me! Suddenly my phone is ripped out of my hand. I look up to see Bella, pacing the living room, growing at talking to Peter. She's infuriated.
"Don't you 'tiger' me, Peter Whitlock, when and how is the bitch coming for us and how did she find out that we survived, because if I remember correctly only you and Char knew we were alive, so how the fuck does the bitch know?!" Peter is silent which only infuriates Bella more. "Tell me now otherwise I'll come up there and Char will be mateless, your fucking choice Peter! You've got two hours to tell me what I want to know, clocks ticking Captain." Bella hangs up with him and throws me my phone before pacing more quickly, snarls, growls, profanities and threats about killing Maria erupt from Bella's throat. I send her a wave of calm but she hisses at me.
"Don't try to calm me down, Major!" She snarls before running from the house and into the woods. I let out a loud roar, flipping over a couch. "Err, Jazz, I know this is horrible timing but shouldn't we go after Bella?" Emmetta asks. I shake my head. "No, give her time to herself, she's just upset, angry and fearful of Maria." I say. I growl, fustratration pouring off me in waves.
Maria knows that we're alive and she's coming after us, when she finds us, and she will, she won't bring death to me and Bella, nor to the Cullens, she'll bring torture to me and Bella, worse than before, much, much worse.
"We'll protect you both from whatever she throws at you." Rosalie says. I growl. Shit, I must've said it out loud. I look at my 'twin'. "Rosie, while I appreciate your sentiment, you can't protect me and Bella from Maria, it's impossible, you'll just be killed and I won't have that, I won't watch my family die because of me." I say fiercely. I smell Bella in the backyard, snarling at herself, oh uh.
"Shit!" I swear, running to Bella, barking out orders to my family. "Emmett, get the clearing of the forest, Rose, guard her back, Alice, go with Emmett, Edward, get the front door, Carlisle, get the driveway, Esme go with Carlisle, her beast, Izzy, is coming out and it's worse than Major comes out which will be happening if I can't get her under control. Izzy is her protector if she feels threatened and hearing Maria is on her way has definitely put her in her protective mode." Izzy lets out a roar as she pounces on me, clawing at me. "Izzy, it's me, Jasper." Izzy doesn't listen as she rolls us onto my stomach, my arm behind my back, bringing the Major out to play.
"Isabella, I don't want to hurt you, but I will if I have to." Major says, Izzy snarls before springing to her feet, Major doing the same. Her face is an evil smirk. "You'll have to catch me first, Major." And with that she runs, knocking Rosalie on her back. Izzy is heading to the driveway where Carlisle and Esme are. Carlisle can handle me and Major but he can't handle Bella and Izzy. After helping Rose up, I follow Izzy, who is mid pounce onto Esme. Luckily Emmett is nearly here, thanks to Alice, and catches her and pins her to the ground. Izzy is snarling and fighting Emmett.
"Isabella Marie Whitlock, submit!" Major orders. Without little fight, Izzy submits, slowly melting into Bella. Everyone is silent after the Major gives the submissive order. "Emmett, it's okay, it's Bella." Major melts away. Rose looks between me and Bella, her emotions are concern and love. "You two okay?" She asks. Out of all my family, Rose is the one who I'm closest to. "We're fine, Rose, this isn't the first time Major and Izzy have come to protect us, we'll be fine, do you mind hanging back but giving us some space?" Everyone nods and runs to the house, far away to give me and Bella space but close enough if we need them. I look at Bella who is kneeling in her submissive stance. I sigh. It's been so long since the Major gave her the submit order.
"Relax, Bella. It's over now." I soothe. Bella whimpers. "I lost control again, Jasper." I sigh. This was a conversation we had every time she let Izzy free. I crouch in front of her, tilting her chin up so she looks up at me. "Izzy was protecting you, Bella, it doesn't mean you lost control." Bella shakes her head. "I lost control plain and simple." I groan. Bella can be so stubborn.
"Maria is coming, that's why Izzy was let loose, to protect you." I state firmly. Bella sighs. "What are we going to do about Maria? We don't know how she found out that we're alive, or who told her. You know what she'll do to us when she finds us, and she will find us, no matter how long it takes her to find us, she will, then she'll torture us for decades before killing us, she'll starve us until we're too weak to fight back and that's when she'll kill us. I can't take her torture again, Jasper, but I just got you back, I won't loose you again, I refuse to lose you again."
This is going to be a lot harder for Bella than I originally thought it would be.
What the hell am I going to do?
